Chapter 141: The Sage's Imperial Envoy Arrives
Jiang Lin came back, Xue Lang stayed in Weize Pass all day long, rarely went out, seeing that the war was approaching, Xue Lang didn't want Jiang Lin to be idle, so he drove him to the barracks of the Xiong Zhen army every morning, and trained with the sergeants, so that he could familiarize himself with the way of battle. In the afternoon, he came back to read and study, urging him to improve.
Jiang Lin has a newlywed wife in his heart, looking forward to getting ahead and repaying his wife, understanding that this is Xue Lang's value and expectation for him, and he can also train and study hard, come back after practicing every day, and after studying, he can also take advantage of dinner to practice with Su Han, which makes Su Han miserable.
Su Han complained directly to Xue Lang: "Xue Counselor, I am just a medical order in the house, and I have never heard of the need for a medical order to go into battle since ancient times, why does Jiang Erlang ask me to practice martial arts all day long?" ”
Xue Lang rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, Xiong Zhenjun is going to slaughter fat pigs again, I can get some big bone sticks back to stew soup, and let Xiuniang make soup dumplings for you to eat." ”
Su Han's eyes lit up, and he nodded busily: "The so-called sword soldier has no eyes, since I am a medical order, it is inevitable that there will be a moment to go into battle to save people, and I should practice martial arts diligently." What about Jiang Erlang? Can I come back? Come and play against me! ”
"Hahahaha!"
This living treasure!
Xue Lang immediately burst out laughing, and Su Han also had a smile in his eyes, but unfortunately because of his paralyzed face, he couldn't laugh at all. Xue Lang felt sorry for him in his heart, he was a good teasing foodie handsome guy, and he was stunned that the injury made him a facial paralysis, but he didn't know that the girls at this time were not like the girls in later generations!
After more than half a month of busyness, Xue Lang asked Xiuniang to change the tricks and make delicious food every day to lure Su Han to practice martial arts with Jiang Lin, while carefully managing the farm and ensuring the logistics of Xiong Zhenjun's military training. The latest and fastest update After throwing the grass carp into the lotus root pond, I finally received the news of the arrival of the imperial court envoy.
Weize Pass is a military powerhouse, and the envoys will naturally not come here at the first stop, but will first go to the county government of Weize County, and they will not be able to come over until the Princess Pingyang, the defender of Weize Pass, will send someone to pick them up. As Princess Pingyang, even if someone sent by the sage arrived, she didn't need to greet her personally, so she sent Han Jin forward.
Xue Lang knew that when the envoy came, he was in the farm to check the situation of the grass carp that had been stocked in the lotus root pond for a short time. The envoy sent by the imperial court seemed to be also anxious, as soon as he arrived at Weize Pass, he ran to see the sweet potato without his butt being hot, and he didn't even give Xue Lang the effort to change his clothes and tidy up his appearance, and rushed directly to the farm and asked Xue Lang to go over to visit.
So, when Princess Pingyang accompanied the envoys and her party to see Xue Lang, he was dressed in civilian clothes, wrapped in a hood, a pair of cloth shoes were all dirt, and the corners of the round-necked robe were accidentally wet.
Xue Lang knew that being an official in ancient times required paying attention to manners, and he didn't know if his current state was rude! When he saw someone, his embarrassed expression was still obvious: "Your Highness has seen Your Highness, the envoy." ”
The envoy sent by the imperial court was an old man with white hair and beard, although he was old, his eyes were clear and bright, his spirit was strong, his waist was straight, and there was no trace of old age.
Princess Pingyang said: "Youyang is exempt, this is the imperial envoy Li Gang Li Shangshu sent by the sage, Li Shangshu, this is Xue Lang Xue Youyang, the counselor in my house." ”
It turns out that this old man is Li Gang! The famous upright minister and prince killer in history!
Xue Lang took a step forward and bent down to arch his hand: "Xia Guan has seen Li Shangshu, and his demeanor is inconsiderate, please forgive me." ”
Li Gang directly stepped forward to help Xue Lang and said, "Counselor Xue's words are wrong, this is Counselor Xue's loyalty to the facts, why is it rude?" Don't say that anymore. ”
Xue Lang said modestly: "Li Shangshu has won the award!" ”
Xue Lang glanced at the team of people who came, Princess Pingyang and Li Gang did not bring a guard of honor, but only brought a simple entourage, Li Gang only brought two, one with a knife at his waist, obviously a guard, and a small servant, but sixteen or seventeen years old, obviously Li Gang's servant.
"What is Counselor Xue busy with?"
Li Gang asked. Xue Lang replied with a smile: "Back to Li Shangshu, Xiaguan was checking the situation of the grass carp just put in the lotus root candy just now, to see if the fish is adaptable, etc." ”
Li Gangqi said: "Lotus root can also be in the same pond with grass carp? Doesn't grass carp eat lotus roots? ”
Xue Lang said: "The key is the timing of the stocking and the size of the fry. In the morning, the lotus root has not yet grown, and the grass carp will eat the sprouts of the lotus root, and when the lotus root is late, the grass carp has not grown. ”
Li Gang nodded, put his hand on the pergola, and raised his eyes to look-
The farm is in a thriving state at this time, and as far as the eye can see, it is all a striking green, and no matter who you are, you will feel relieved to see it.
"Dare to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess, do those houses have livestock?"
Princess Pingyang said: "That's the pig house!" Li Shangshu, please go to the cellar to see the sweet potatoes first? ”
It seems that Princess Pingyang doesn't want Li Gang to go to the pig barn. Seeing that the master didn't seem to want him to go over, not to mention those that had nothing to do with his tasks, he nodded knowingly, and turned around and walked towards the cellar.
Her Royal Highness the princess didn't want people to visit the farm, so Xue Lang naturally didn't talk much, and silently followed behind, and went to the cellar of the farm to check the sweet potatoes together-
"Counselor Xue stays."
Xue Lang had just raised his foot to leave, but Rugui had already whispered to stop him.
"What advice does the chamberlain have?"
Rugui whispered: "Counselor Xue is polite, His Highness asked Counselor Xue if there are still sweet potatoes there?" ”
Xue Lang said: "I have it. How? His Royal Highness wants to entertain Li Shangshu with a sweet potato banquet? ”
"Exactly. There is a consultation with Rauscher. ”
Xue Lang nodded, called Changjian, asked him to go back and pass the word, and asked Xiuniang to prepare, just come to a table according to what she did for Her Royal Highness the princess last time.
"Whoa!"
Chang Jian quickly took the order and left.
After giving the order, Xue Lang walked a few steps quickly to keep up with the team, and the group went to the cellar-
I want to say that Li Gang is old and it is inconvenient to enter the cellar, but Li Gang is still unhappy, and said: "Although the old man is already dying, his waist has not yet bent, and his legs and feet have not been weak. What's more, the old man was carrying the edict of the saint, and he was here to check the sweet potato, if he didn't watch it with his own eyes, the saint asked, why did he reply? ”
Honest people are not easy to do, too principled. Seeing this, Princess Pingyang let her guards go down to answer first, Li Gang was in the center, and his guards watched and took care of him in front of him, so she could go in safely.
The cellar of the farm was built larger because it wanted to store the food of Xiong Zhenjun for the winter, but after all, the air in the cellar was not circulated, and there were many people who went in for fear of accidents, and even Princess Pingyang did not go in, so the two guards accompanied Li Gang and Xue Lang down.
Xue Lang was the first to go down, Princess Pingyang's guard was the second, and Li Gang was the third. Those who can follow Princess Pingyang are naturally cronies, looking at the sweet potatoes that are about to be pushed into a hill, they can't help but pause for a moment, until Li Gang and Li Laoshangshu, who can't wait above, speak up: "Are you ready?" The old man wants to come down too! ”
Only then did the guard come back to his senses: "Li Shangshu, please be careful. ”
"Shhh
Li Gang carefully held the ladder down, and the person was still standing on the ladder before he got to the ground, and when he saw the hill of sweet potatoes for the first time, he couldn't help but gasp, and his tone was a little unstable: "Xue ...... Xue Counselor, these are all sweet potatoes? ”
Xue Lang replied steadily: "Exactly! Because of the care taken when digging, it is easy to store and just pile them together. ”
