"Your Highness!"

It was already dark, and the huge main hall of the General's Mansion was brightly lit, and Lady Liu walked in.

Princess Pingyang had long hair, wore a skirt, held a cup of hot water, drank slowly, and her eyes fell on the desk in front of her. Hearing Lady Liu's voice, she didn't turn her eyes away from looking at the drawings, daggers, and binoculars on the table, and only asked, "Is it properly arranged?" ”

"The Tingfeng Courtyard has been cleaned up, and the servants and other Rugui have also been arranged."

Lady Liu replied respectfully, and after speaking, she looked at the few things that Princess Pingyang was still looking at on the table, and asked softly, "What is Your Highness thinking?" ”

"Nothing."

Princess Pingyang raised her head, her eyes looked straight ahead, it seemed to be very close, but it seemed to be far away, her fingers gently brushed the drawings, daggers, and binoculars on the desk, and finally landed on the drawings: "Tomorrow I will write to Chang'an, send a few skillful craftsmen, the sooner the better." ”

"Whoa."

After the lady Liu answered, she looked up at the princess, and stopped talking. Princess Pingyang noticed: "What's the matter? ”

"Your Highness wants to reuse Xue Lang?"

Princess Pingyang nodded: "This person is talented, and talented people can be used." ”

"Ah Liu thinks that this person's origin can be trusted with seven points, and his background can only be trusted with one point."

"One point?"

"Exactly. This point is also due to the fact that the Northern and Southern Dynasties have come, and the family lineage has been seriously damaged and the records are incomplete. When the slave grandfather was there, he had the privilege of borrowing the Cui family's pedigree to read it. Xue Nai is one of the big surnames, and the largest one is that it moved into Shu at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and is called Shu Xue; During the period of the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, the Xiongnu changed their surname to Xue in Sinicization, and the Xianbei Tuoba Department also changed their surname to Xue. The Xue clan in the world is mostly from these three branches. Xue Youyang said that the family moved from the Yongjia Rebellion, and it is inferred that it should be from Shu Xue, but whenever it comes to his origin, Xue Youyang only says that he has moved for a long time, and it is no longer possible to test, and he can't come up with a conclusive statement, so he only believes one point. Shu Xue is the ancestor of the Xue clan of the Hedong Wang clan, and if he can ask the Hedong Xue clan for verification, he may be sure. ”

Lady Liu talked eloquently. Princess Pingyang listened quietly, and when she finished speaking, she exclaimed: "Ah Liu's genealogy is good, Liu Gong has a good daughter, and there is knowledge under the spring, so she should be able to comfort." ”

Lady Liu saluted: "Your Highness has a good reputation." ”

Princess Pingyang shook her head with a smile, patted her wrist, and said, "I use Xue Lang, regardless of his background, only his talents." Although there are many talented and virtuous people in the family, there are also many mediocre pickled goods. Xue Lang is talented and has a ...... background This palace has even used sinners and thieves, so what kind of background do you pay attention to! Ah Liu, background does not determine a person's talent, limited by background, will only limit your horizons. ”

Lady Liu said indifferently: "The limited horizon is limited, at least, people from families are more faceless than poor people." ”

Speaking of the back, the tone is calm.

Princess Pingyang understood why she was like this, smiled peacefully, and patted the back of her hand: "Don't be confined to your background, and don't be confined to the past, people should look forward after all." ”

Lady Liu said: "Your Highness is the Lord, be open-minded and move forward bravely. Aliu is a subordinate, so it is natural that he should remind you not to make the same mistake again and give your own advice when the time comes. Aliu is just doing his subordinate's duty. ”

Princess Pingyang's expression was calm: "Like Ah Liu, I can't forget, should I first hate why I was born a woman?" ”

"Your Highness!"

Aliu knelt down on one knee. Princess Pingyang waved her hand, pulled her up, and looked at the front with cold eyes: "This palace is a woman, even if you are a princess now, she is just a woman with a respected status." Those people followed the main palace back then, but they were just trying to survive. As for the later days when there is no need to worry about life and wealth can be rich, it is natural for people to go to high places and water to flow to low places, which is just human nature. is like a husband and wife, when the disaster comes, they fly separately, not to mention a group of rabble. ”

"Without His Highness, it would be difficult for those people to live, where can they be rich! There are His Highnesses, they are the teachers of tigers and wolves, and there are no Highnesses...... Hehe. ”

Lady Liu's tone was very mean.

Princess Pingyang said: "They are from a poor background, and they have no opportunity to increase their knowledge and knowledge, so they can only see the benefits in front of them. How far a person can go depends only on himself, and relying on others alone will not work after all. ”

Lady Liu nodded heavily, and her expression eased slightly.

Princess Pingyang said: "I look at Xue Youyang, who can be said to be a person with both ability and political integrity. ”

Lady Liu: "Please let Your Highness clear your mind." ”

Princess Pingyang: "Xue Youyang, how does he treat people?" ”

Lady Liu replied, "Be modest and courteous." ”

"How do you talk and behave?"

"Words are good, words have substance; Although the demeanor is different from that of my atomic brother, it can be regarded as a moderate manner. ”

Princess Pingyang's eyes closed slightly, and she said: "Talking and behaving and dealing with people show that this person is well-educated and has a lot of luck in his belly, which is one of them." ”

If you are educated, you must know etiquette. Lady Liu nodded in agreement.

Princess Binh Duong continued:

Second, Xue Youyang grew up in a foreign country and it took four years to come to the Central Plains. The ancients said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and this person has talent in his belly and extensive knowledge, so he must not be a person who talks on paper and boasts. ”

Books and stories corroborate each other...... Lady Liu was stunned.

Princess Pingyang's eyes burned:

"Third, Xue Youyang has an understanding of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and is obviously not a dustless person at present; Fourth, watching Xue Youyang's actions, whether it is Liu Zhengchun or licorice, they are all sincere and grateful, and he is obviously a person who knows how to repay his kindness and attaches great importance to love and righteousness. ”

After speaking, he looked at Female Officer Liu: "For me, Xue Youyang has other advantages, but only these four points are enough." Why don't I use such a person? ”

Lady Liu was convinced: "Ah Liu understands, it's getting late, and His Highness should sleep peacefully." The subordinates went to see the clothes that people made for Master Xue. ”

Princess Pingyang bowed her head and watched the female official Liu go out, so that people turned off the lights and went to bed.

Lady Liu looked back at the dark dormitory, sighed slightly, and then turned around and went to the only brightly lit place in the mansion. Inside, a group of maids are cutting cloth and sewing clothes, you are in charge of cutting, and I am in charge of sewing, busy but not chaotic.

"Sister Liu."

Seeing the female officer Liu come in, the maids all saluted. Lady Liu waved her hand: "No need to be polite, how many pieces have been made?" ”

A maid came out and replied: "Sister Huiliu, two pieces have been sewn and the third piece has been cut." ”

"In this way, the weather is still cold now, and His Highness's library still has some good leather, the third piece will be made into a fur fur, let Lord Xue have thin upper body clothes first, if it is not enough, I will continue to do it in the next few days."

"Whoa!"

The maids took the order in unison. Lady Liu was about to leave, and suddenly remembered Xue Lang's short hair, and hurriedly said, "Hat!" And the hat, I have to make one out of it. ”

There were too many things to do, so Lady Liu went to the library to pick out skins, and simply picked a few more people to make clothes for the incoming Xue Zhubo overnight.
