Rice planting is not as good as sowing seedlings, and Champa rice is a rice seed with strong viability, which takes a short time, and there is no need to run outside for more than a month like when sowing seedlings. Xue Lang went out on patrol, first, where the responsibilities lie; The second is to see if the selected plot is based on his instructions, and the poor plot is selected. I'm afraid that in order to please the princess, someone will not listen to the instructions and choose fertile land to sow seeds, how to appear to have the advantage of dominating the city!
I only stayed in each place for a day or two, and spent most of my time on the road. The last stop is set in Hangzhou, and after the inspection, Hangzhou can just take a boat to Taizhou.
"Master, Chai's post to see."
When Xue Lang arrived in Hangzhou, it was already noon, running around for days, his face was tired, he politely refused the invitation of Hangzhou Thorn Shi to catch the wind, and went directly to the post station to live, planning to take a hot bath, and then take a good rest, and get up early tomorrow to inspect the transplanting situation in Hangzhou.
When he heard Changjian's report, Xue Lang had just finished taking a shower, and his hair was waiting for his hair to dry, which could be described as untidy. I didn't react for a while: "Chai? Which Chai's? ”
Changjian hurriedly reminded: "Qianniu from the former East Palace is from the Chai family. ”
Qianniu in front of the East Palace?! Isn't that the East Palace Qianniu of the Sui Dynasty...... Chai's ...... Surname Chai ...... Chai Shao!
Xue Lang suddenly, sat up straight, remembered Her Royal Highness the Princess's complicated emotions towards Chai Shao, and after a moment of silence, he said: "You go out to spread the word, tomorrow at noon, I will be at the post station, waiting for the Chai family to visit." ”
"Whoa."
Although he didn't understand what the people of the Chai family were looking for him to do, for the sake of Princess Pingyang's face, he was willing to take the time to see him.
After resting at the post station for a day, and getting up early the next morning, Xue Lang will go to the selected plot to inspect with Hangzhou Thorn Shi Luo Thorn History-
At the beginning of the selection, they were deliberately screened, and they were all selected people who had a positive attitude towards the trial planting of Champa rice. After a round of inspections, the situation was quite satisfactory, and I did more according to the requirements, and there was no situation of making decisions without authorization.
After looking around, Xue Lang expressed his satisfaction, and it was not good to refuse Luo Tingshi's hospitality again, so he went to the Assassin's Mansion to accept his banquet, and ate for more than an hour.
"The horse is easy to go, so the lower official will not send it."
Luo Tingshi watched Xue Lang's carriage go away, and then stood up straight, his expression uncertain, and he was faintly displeased. The master who followed him reminded in a low voice: "Ming Gong, please go back to the house if you have something." ”
Luo Tingshi looked stunned and nodded, but he couldn't help but complain: "The princess is noble, I can't wait for the high, this Xue Yiren ...... It's just that the oil and salt don't enter, and it's a bit of a feeling of no way to start. ”
The master looked around vigilantly, and after seeing that it was all his own people, he relaxed his vigilance a little, and said: "I heard that this Xue Yiren was not a long-sleeved dancer when he was in Beijing, and he was not a person who traveled widely. Last time and this time, there were two inspections, and there were not a few people who wanted to visit him in various places, but except for Pei Yunzhao in Yuezhou, I had never heard of anyone who could talk to him. Therefore, for such people, please also ask Ming Gong to be patient and slowly figure it out. ”
Luo Tingshi nodded: "That's all it can be." ”
The two glanced at each other, both of them were a little unwilling, but they had no choice but to go home.
Xue Lang returned to the post station, rinsed his mouth, rested for a while, and massaged his scalp with Changjian to loosen it. Xue Lang closed his eyes and let Changjian massage, and suddenly asked, "Who did the Chai family post yesterday?" ”
Changjian replied: "Hui Ye, it is Chai Hong, the speaker of the Chai family in Hangzhou, the eldest in line, known as Uncle Chai." ”
Xue Lang nodded and didn't say anything more. After raising his spirit for a while, there was still a moment before noon, and the housekeeper of the Chai family sent the gift list, and Chai Hong arrived afterwards, waiting to be summoned by Xue Lang.
Xue Lang lived in a separate courtyard at the post station, and the people he brought with him ...... The most are guards, and the servants who serve closely only bring one long-term frugality, and one cross-courtyard is enough to live. In order to entertain Chai Hong, he specially asked Yicheng to find two maids for him, and started to make tea early to wait for guests.
Casually glanced at the gift list, the gifts on the gift list are not particularly valuable, just the general etiquette, including the pair of maidservants listed separately on the gift list as gifts.
After such a long time, Xue Lang received a dozen servant girls who were given to him as gifts, to say the least. In the Guogong Mansion in Chang'an City, there are also a considerable number of singing and dancing girls sent by Li Xiaogong. After the initial shock, Xue Lang was also used to it, and he was much calmer to receive such a gift again, and sure enough, time was a pig-killing knife.
sighed like this, and Changjian came to report: "Master, Chai Hong has arrived." ”
"Invite him to the main hall, and I'll be there later."
Tidy up his clothes, Xue Lang went to the main hall to meet the guests-
"The grass people meet the horses."
"No need to be polite, please sit down and talk. Come and watch the tea. ”
Sitting down with Chai Hong, making people serve tea, Chai Hong said: "I have heard the name of the horse early, and I am fortunate to be able to meet it today, and the grass people are really lucky." ”
Xue Lang smiled faintly and said, "Brother Chai is polite. Speaking of which, I have only heard the name of Brother Chai, but I have never seen it, and I have never seen it, and the first time I met today, it was Brother Chai who took the initiative to post a visit. ”
Chai Hong hurriedly said: "Harassing the horses, the grass people are guilty." If it weren't for the fact that the horses came to Hangzhou, the grass people didn't dare to post rashly, and wanted to say that the Chai family was taken care of by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and had never thanked her. ”
Xue Lang bowed: "I will definitely tell you, please drink tea." ”
"Thank you."
After Chai Hongxie, he took a sip of the teacup, and was slightly stunned: "It's actually the way to drink tea from the south?" Do colts like this? ”
The maids provided by Yicheng are southerners, and they can't make tea soup, but can only boil water to make tea. At that time, this was a popular way to drink tea in the south, which was different from the tea soup in the north.
Xue Lang said apologetically: "This trip is for official business, and I didn't bring a maid." Today, in order to entertain Brother Chai, I specially invited Yicheng to find two maids, who are all southerners and can't make tea soup, so I can only invite Brother Chai to drink a cup of tea. ”
Chai Hong's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile on his face: "Tea soup has the taste of tea soup, and clear tea also has the aftertaste of clear tea, both of which have their own strengths, so it's okay." ”
After speaking, he drank two sips of tea, and said with a smile: "Speaking of the grass people, the young brother Atong who is not a weapon, was dredged by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and entered the Nanya, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has always taken good care of the Chai family." With such love, originally, the trial planting of Zhancheng rice, Chai's full support is, but the family background is limited, and the support is limited, which is really ashamed. ”
Xue Lang said: "Do what you can, if you want Your Highness to know, you won't blame it." ”
Chai Hong said with a smile: "Yes, Her Royal Highness the princess is very open-minded, and she cares for the Chai family, so she will not blame her, but my Chai family is not going to go." ”
Chai Hong and Xue Lang went around for a long time, changing their words over and over again, but there was only one meaning-
Princess Pingyang is very different from the Chai family, and she cares for her, and the Chai family has a friendship with Princess Pingyang, and she has a lot of friendship. Looking at what he said so sincerely, if he didn't know the relationship between Chai Shao and Princess Pingyang, Xue Lang would really believe it.
I secretly smiled bitterly in my heart, and it was not easy to dismantle him, so I had to slowly accompany him patiently, and accompanied him around for more than an hour, without saying anything meaningful, I listened to him there to look at the present and reminisce about the past, and there to say how Princess Pingyang took care of the Chai family, how good she was, and Xue Lang was very tired of listening to it.
I really couldn't stand it, I didn't want to listen to this nonsense anymore, Xue Lang said a few polite words, served tea and sent it to the guests, until the guests were sent off, and I couldn't figure out what this firewood was doing. Chai Hong hurriedly said: "The horses stopped, and the grass people didn't dare to send them off." ”
Xue Lang's identity is there, so naturally he will not send him to the gate of the courtyard, and he is already humble when he gets up to see off guests. Hearing this, he said: "In this way, Brother Chai will go slowly, and I won't send it." ”
Chai Hong said: "Yes, the horse stays." ”
After a pause, he said in a low voice: "Speaking of which, the maid sent by the grass people today is a northerner, in addition to the color is pleasing to the people, but also boiled a good tea soup, played a good pipa, can be described as a double art of color and art, if the horse has time, you can try it, or you can comfort the lonely pain of the horse's journey." ”
After speaking, he smiled meaningfully and meaningfully. Xue Lang silently hurts——
Laughing so obscenely, I'm embarrassed to smile at him!
Just look at the refreshing one
