Before the palace gate was keyed, the palace banquet finally ended, the sky was already dark, and Xue Lang left the palace with unfinished regrets-

After drinking down Zhao Junwang and Wei Chigong, no one fought with him, only one or two glasses came to drink with him, and by the way, he laughed and talked. Δ Ω『． Although I didn't have a deep friendship, I was familiar with each other.

Out of the Linde Palace, an attendant greeted him: "The slave and maid asked for peace to the Xue Jungong, and the slave and maid were ordered to wait for the Xue Jungong here and send the Xue Jungong out of the palace." ”

Although Xue Lang blushed from drinking, he was not drunk, his mind was very clear, and he glanced at the person when he heard the words-

He is tall and strong, but he is different from the ordinary thin and thin chamberlain, and he is already in his early thirties, which is the stage of his greatest strength.

Is this because he is afraid that he will be drunk, so he sends someone to wait for him?

Although Xue Langren looks thin, he is tall and his weight is not light, so it is obviously a person with a heart to let such an attendant send him out of the palace. So, Xue Lang asked, "Thank you, I don't know what to call it?" On whose orders? Can you tell me? ”

The waiter said: "The name of the slave is called Mingcheng, as for whose order it is, the county prince will know it in the future." It's getting late, and the time for the palace gate to be under the key is approaching, and Xue Jun is invited. ”

Xue Lang saw that he couldn't ask, so he said simply: "Thank you, but I'm not drunk, just get out of the palace by myself." ”

Mingcheng smiled: "Let's let the slave give it a ride!" ”

Mingcheng sent Xue Lang to Chengtianmen all the way before turning back. There is still some distance from Chengtianmen to Xiama Bridge, Xue Lang needs to continue walking, and when he reaches Chengtianmen, there is a sergeant with a lantern to lead the way.

As soon as I came out of the Chengtian Gate, I saw a team of people coming with lanterns next to me, it seemed that they came out of the Changle Gate, and when they came closer, they saw that it was the honor guard of Princess Pingyang.

Princess Pingyang did not ride on the shoulder, but walked like Xue Lang. Xue Lang bowed and saluted: "I have seen Your Highness." ”

Princess Pingyang glanced at Xue Lang and said, "Isn't this the prince of Changping who is immeasurable in the sea and not drunk in a thousand cups?" Xue Jungong is massive, and the palace can also hear the prestige of Xue Jungong when he sits above. ”

Cough...... Is this unhappy? Why......

Xue Lang shrunk his neck, thinking of a certain possibility, he was secretly a little happy in his heart, but it was better to appease this highness first, otherwise, he couldn't afford the consequences.

So, Xue Lang said honestly: "It's not that I want to drink more, but the people sitting around me don't know me." Your Highness knows, I am stupid, not good at communicating, except for being able to drink and drink, I don't have the ability to take the initiative to interact with people. In my previous experience, when someone asked me to drink, once or twice, maybe I didn't have any friendship, but after drinking too many times, I drank it, and I slowly became familiar with it, and the friendship was slowly there, and maybe I could make friends with similar temperaments. This is a stupid idea, and Your Highness should not make fun of me. ”

Princess Pingyang paused and didn't speak, but the cold aura around her body seemed to fade a little. Xue Lang didn't have any emotional intelligence, but his intuition was keen, and he noticed it immediately, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and he took a few steps and slowly followed behind Princess Pingyang.

Speechless all the way, when she was about to get off the bridge, Princess Pingyang suddenly said: "Although King Zhaojun has some merits in acting as a person, he does not repair his private curtains, and he has nothing to do, you have not married yet, don't learn from him." ”

Xue Lang was stunned for a moment, then showed a big smile, and simply promised: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will never learn from him!" ”

Princess Pingyang quickly turned her head, no longer looked at Xue Lang, and said indifferently: "What am I worried about!" It's just that as a peak, I remind you not to forget to cultivate private virtues. ”

After speaking, he didn't bother with Xue Lang anymore, got into the chariot directly, and went straight out of the palace.

Xue Lang touched the back of his head, hehe smirked twice, I felt as if I had seen through some kind of pass, and I was so happy that I almost wanted to fly!

It's time to decide!

But Princess Pingyang, who got into the chariot, couldn't help but sigh slightly, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, crossed her legs, and put on a meditative posture. Mama and Chu Xue, who were sitting on the chariot with her, glanced at each other, and Mama sighed softly, relatively speechless.

Princess Pingyang suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were chaotic, and she seemed to be uneasy: "Mama, I didn't control myself!" ”

Mama glanced at Princess Pingyang, gritted her teeth, and couldn't help but say, "The little lady is the king, and Xue Lang is the minister." If the little lady can favor him, it is also Xue Lang's honor. Even if the little lady does not go well in the future, it is his fate that should be like this! Why is the little lady so bitter! ”

Princess Pingyang's face was blank, and she scolded in a deep voice: "Nonsense! ”

Mama hurriedly asked for guilt: "The old slave trespasses, please punish the little lady!" ”

Princess Pingyang looked at the grandmother kneeling in the car with cold eyes, and her eyes closed slightly: "Grandma, get up, grandma is my grandmother, I know Mama's loyalty, but Xue Lang is different!" ”

"Whoa."

Mama responded respectfully.

Princess Pingyang closed her eyes, meditated silently, calmed down, and said no more.

Xue Lang returned home, and Lamei and Winter Solstice boiled hot water for him and waited for him. After washing with hot water and scalding his feet, Xue Lang went to bed.

The winter solstice and New Year's Day were considered big festivals in ancient times, with a seven-day holiday, and all the ministers were on holiday except for the young officials on duty in various ministries.

When he got up the next day, he made people bring three jars of wine from the cellar early in the morning, a jar of fruit wine, a jar of peach blossom wine, and a jar of liquor, and asked Changjian to hold his name thorn and send it to King Zhao Jun.

Then he went to the kitchen to supervise Ah Tu and Xiu Niang to cook together, because today he was going to feast on the tribes and celebrate the Spring Festival with the tribes.

Xue Lang's troops have a total of 1,000 people, and the troops are temporarily led by Jiang Lin. Only 300 people were stationed in the county government's mansion, and the rest were stationed in his Zhuangzi outside the city. Three hundred people rotate every ten days.

In order to feast on the trilogy, Xue Lang made people buy fat pigs and fat sheep before the Spring Festival, and bought a lot of radishes-

Sauerkraut stewed blood sausage, back to the pot meat, stir-fried fat sausage, stewed pig heart and lung soup, and then there is a large pot of mutton stewed radish, roast lamb leg and roast lamb chops, all of which are affordable meat dishes, and vegetarian dishes are a stir-fried shredded radish.

In these years, ordinary people are short of oil and water in their stomachs, especially these soldiers. Xue Lang ordered such a menu, and his popularity was indescribable, and he repeatedly praised Xue Lang for his kindness.

In modern times, those who serve in the army are called the loveliest people. In ancient times, there was a saying that a good man should not be a soldier, in addition to the high war casualty rate in the era of cold weapons, another big reason is that the treatment of ordinary soldiers is not high.

In order for the generals to control the power of life and death of the soldiers, the abuse of the soldiers is a very common phenomenon in the army. For example, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide had the problem of abusing the soldiers, beating and scolding the soldiers at every turn, almost not treating the soldiers as human beings, and finally died at the hands of the soldiers.

Recently, for example, Xue Ju's son Xue Rengao, this bright and strange flower, not only mistreated the prisoners, but even treated his own soldiers cruelly.

Xue Lang did not abuse them, although Jiang Lin trained them to train quite hard, but they were able to eat and clothe them warmly, so as not to starve and freeze, and they also took care of their families, so that these troops were extra loyal to him, and they were willing to put in the effort to train hard.

In Xue Lang's view, these things are just fulfilling their basic responsibilities, but they have unexpected gains, and they can be regarded as a model of unintentional willow and willow shady. Of course, Xue Lang would not be stupid enough to object.
