Chapter 341: The Dolly People by the Water in Chang'an
Xue Lang smiled: "I don't think the saint will come so early, so I also brought some food and made breakfast for the two of us." ”
Take out the food box and open it, a roast goose, a plate of meat skin jelly, plus two or three vegetarian dishes, plus a stack of vinegared peanuts, and the staple food is steamed buns.
Princess Pingyang smiled and said, "I expected that Youyang would definitely bring food, and sure enough." Why didn't they bring the buns? ”
Xue Lang said: "There are many people in the Hibiscus Garden today, and I am afraid that I will bring and collide with which young lady." ”
Keeping a dog in the city is naturally different from raising a dog in the country. There are few people in the countryside, and the dogs are let go casually, and it is okay to run around, and it will not scare people. The city is different, there are many little ladies in the city who are raised in the boudoir, even if Xue Lang is confident that the buns will not bite, there are also those who are weak when they see the dog, if they collide with anyone, it will not be beautiful. Rather than letting the buns be wronged, it is better to run around and play freely in the spacious yard at home.
The two sat down to eat, and after breakfast, Princess Pingyang glanced at Chu Xue who was accompanying her, and Chu Xue immediately turned around and walked out of the barrier, and after a while, a basin of water came in, soaked in mulberry leaves, camellia flowers, herbs, willow branches, etc.
The basin was placed at Xue Lang's feet, Xue Lang looked at it inexplicably, watching Princess Pingyang take out a hand towel from her sleeve cage and put it in the basin, and then, looking up at Xue Lang, smiled slightly.
Xue Lang's heart was shaken by laughter, and he also smirked: "Jianling, you are so good-looking!" ”
Princess Pingyang glanced at him and said with a smile: "This is the clear water that has just been brought from the water's edge, Lang Jun, it should be a good one!" ”
As he spoke, he picked up the damp hand towel in the water, helped him wash his face first, then pulled his hands into the basin, took the branches and leaves soaked in the water, gently scrubbed his hands, and said in a harmonious voice: "May my Langjun not be invaded by all diseases, cannot afford to be sick, and be healthy!" ”
Xue Lang's heart was hot, and he couldn't help but turn his hand and hold Princess Pingyang's hand in the water, as if he had a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't say a word when he wanted to say it, he only knew to look at it and smirk.
Princess Pingyang glanced at him, gently broke free of her hand, and said, "Don't move!"
Xue Lang answered honestly, watched her wash his hands, took the damp willow branches and mulberry leaves and gently dusted them on him, and when he was about to take off his boots, he was held down by Xue Lang: "Don't!" Feet I'll do it myself! ”
"Lang Jun ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xue Lang: "I can't help it!" ”
Princess Pingyang stared at him, seeing that his face was firm, and there was no possibility of negotiation, so she had to compromise and get up, and she wanted to let the maid wash him, but Xue Lang directly refused, and she took the branches soaked in the water and washed it happily, her face was full of happiness.
Princess Pingyang smiled slightly, stared at him for a while, and took out a basket from under the low table, in which were a pair of brand-new black boots, a new white footcoat, etc. After Xue Lang washed it, he ordered someone to bring a dry cloth towel to wipe the water on his feet, and put on new socks and new boots.
Xue Lang put on his new boots, stood up and walked two steps, feeling very fit, and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”
"You and me, why do you need to say thank you!"
Princess Pingyang glanced at him, and Xue Lang raised his hand with a smile: "Okay, I was wrong, I won't say it in the future!" ”
Princess Pingyang replied with disgust and said to Duxue: "Pass it in." ”
Xue Langzheng looked puzzled, and saw two middle-aged men and women dressed as servants walking in, and saluted respectfully: "Slave and maid to meet the master!" ”
Princess Pingyang's expression was flat, as if there was a majesty born on the ground, and said, "No courtesy." Come and see your master! ”
The middle-aged man and woman respectfully saluted Xue Lang: "The old slave greets the master!" ”
Xue Lang looked at Princess Pingyang in puzzlement, Princess Pingyang handed over two identity deeds, and said: "In the last years of Emperor Yang of the former dynasty, I lived in seclusion in Chang'an and took the opportunity to gather a lot of talents. These two people are the servants of the former minister Guo Rong's family, and they were rescued by me by chance. Give them a name! ”
As a bitter namer, when he heard the name, Xue Lang felt pain, thought about it, and asked, "What was your original name?" ”
The manservant said: "Back to the master, the old slave's name was Guo Si before, and this is the old slave's Hunjia Rong clan." ”
Xue Lang said: "Since there was a name before, there is no need to change the name, change the surname to Xue Cheng." ”
The manservant was overjoyed, and replied respectfully: "Well, thank you for the name." ”
Princess Pingyang said: "Xue Si is a solid and steady person, and his actions are quite orderly, the Rong family's style of acting is clean and neat, and the housekeeper of the inner house and the outer courtyard is competent!" ”
Xue Lang didn't say anything at all, and simply agreed: "Okay!" Listen to you! ”
Ah Chen is a capable person, but he is deficient in his discipline and thoroughness, lacks initiative, and is too timid. In the past, when Xue Lang didn't go back to Chang'an, but now that Xue Lang has returned to Chang'an, Ah Chen's talent is not enough to support the position of Xue Fu's foreign manager.
The person recommended by Princess Pingyang, Xue Lang naturally believed it. With Princess Pingyang's vision of knowing and employing people, she said that if she is competent, there is no problem. Xue Lang trusts her!
Let Changjian call Wanfu and send Xue Si and his wife back to the house first, and Xue Lang stayed in Princess Pingyang's obstacle to talk and chat with her.
Xue Lang asked curiously, "Jianling, have you ever lived in seclusion in Chang'an?" ”
Princess Pingyang said: "After all, I am a married girl, how can I live in my mother's house for a long time!" For the sake of the reputation of the sisters in the clan, I couldn't stay in Taiyuan, so I lived in seclusion in Chang'an City. By coincidence, it has also gathered a lot of talents. ”
Xue Lang nodded, and the date of death he was told was like a sword of Damocles hanging over Princess Pingyang's head. No one can face death calmly, not to mention that Princess Pingyang was young at the time, it was the best time in her life, and she was not passively waiting for death, how could she be willing to die!
Intentionally or unintentionally, such a thing as gathering all kinds of talents and accumulating capital to resist fate should be done. Compare his heart to himself, if it is Xue Lang, he will also do his best to manage his own forces.
While the two were talking, Twilight came in and reported: "Lady, Princess Changsha and Princess Xiangyang have arrived!" ”
"Please!"
After a while, the two princesses came in. Princess Changsha saw Xue Lang at a glance, covered her mouth and smiled: "Seeing Sanniang here, I want to talk about it, I don't want to ruin Sanniang's good deeds, sister, why don't we turn around?" ”
Princess Changsha is young, has a lively temperament, and her tongue is a little tricky, and when she comes in to see Xue Lang, she makes fun of it. Xue Lang was directly made red-faced.
Princess Xiangyang's smiling eyes turned on the red-faced Xue Lang and the down-and-out Princess Pingyang, stretched out her hand to pat her sister, and said with a smile: "You talk a lot." This is Xue Shilang, right? ”
Xue Lang bowed and saluted: "Minister Xue Lang has seen the princess!" ”
Princess Xiangyang smiled: "Why do you see the outside world so much? Although you and Pingyang have not yet married, your name has been decided, so follow Pingyang to call Sister A. ”
Princess Pingyang said: "This is my second sister Princess Xiangyang, and my fifth sister Princess Changsha." Sister A and the fifth sister call him Dalang. ”
Greet each other. The three sisters of the family talked, Xue Lang was embarrassed to stay, and found an excuse to escape, it was really the playful eyes of Princess Changsha that people couldn't stand it, Xue Lang was actually quite thin-skinned.
However, it is worthy of the third day of March, and the ladies have all come out. Du Fu Du Zimei had the honor to watch the famous Yang sisters on the March 3rd Festival, he Xue Lang did not see the Yang sisters, but was watched by the princesses of the Li royal family, and could only say that "Chang'an Waterside Dolly people" really did not deceive me.
"Xue Lang Xue Shilang in front?"
Xue Lang ran out of Princess Pingyang's barricade, walked around with Chang Jian, and only walked a few steps before he was stopped, but when he turned around, he was a beautiful young woman dressed as a woman.
Xue Lang bowed his head politely and said, "It's Xue Lang below, I don't know who the lady is?" ”
The beautiful young woman smiled and said, "I am the princess of Qi, so I should call Xue Shilang a brother-in-law." ”
