Chapter 120: Chance Meeting
Princess Pingyang granted Jiang Lin a month of leave and allowed him to go to Beijing to discuss his marriage. After Xue Lang thanked him, he didn't hurry to leave, but said cheekily: "Actually, my subordinates still have a matter and want to ask His Highness for help." β
"What?"
Princess Pingyang to refreshing. Xue Lang said: "Ah Lin should not have broken the appointment, although the reason for this is excusable, but it is not the way to do things, now that I am Ah Lin's brother, I am also his elder, right?" Shouldn't I explain a thing or two from this? Your Highness, please. β
Princess Pingyang pondered for a moment and said, "There are no elders in Ah Lin's family, and Youyang, as an elder brother, should come forward to show his sincerity." You can write a letter and ask Ah Lin to pass it on to his father-in-law. β
Xue Lang said embarrassedly: "My subordinates also think so, but the level of my writing is smelly, let me write a letter, I'm afraid that the family affairs that will be said will be yellow, right?" β
Her Royal Highness the Princess smiled: "Is this the case? β
Xue Lang said: "There is a great possibility. So, please ask Your Highness to help polish it, okay? β
This letter can't be found by Lady Liu, who is a woman who has not left the cabinet, and she is afraid that the polishing will not be in place. In fact, it is best to find Han Jin, but unfortunately, the friendship with Han Jin did not reach that level, and in the end, he could only brazenly find Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Princess Pingyang smiled slightly, but she didn't object, she copied the paper casually, picked up the brush, and immediately had a maid to help polish the ink-
This Xue Lang can't help, he can't grind ink.
Princess Pingyang dipped her ink and asked, "What does Youyang mean?" β
Xue Lang immediately said what he thought. Her Royal Highness the princess almost achieved it overnight, and the hairpin flower in one hand was elegantly flying, like a jade tree in the wind, revealing a handsome and delicate state, without the delicate spirit of an ordinary woman.
The Tang Dynasty was a dynasty of great development of calligraphy art, especially regular script, which abounds. In His Majesty Li Yuan's family, there are several who are good at calligraphy, and I think it is because of the family history.
Xue Lang gratefully clenched his fists, took it, took out a pen and copied it on the paper. Seeing this, Princess Pingyang said: "Youyang worries about Jiang Erlang's marriage, but she doesn't worry about herself. β
Is it true that as long as you are an older youth, whether in modern or ancient times, you will be asked about marriage? But he's only 25 years old!
Xue Lang begged for mercy in pain: "Your Highness begs to be spared, please don't mention it!" β
Princess Pingyang Wan'er, just gave up and didn't mention it again.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the temperature gradually rises, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The puppies of the bun have opened their eyes, although they are not very careful, but their eyes are dark and cute. The buns are well eaten, the milk is sufficient, and the puppies are all round.
Xiong Zhuang came to see it a few times, but every time the bun was not allowed to get close, he could only be held out by Xue Lang to show him, and Xiong Zhuang couldn't help but flip two heels. The masters of the workshop, the dagger has been made, that is, the telescope, and the lens has not broken through.
I have tried to use white crystal, but the natural crystal has some impurities, and there are almost no transparent ones. The completely transparent ones sold in modern times are generally artificial crystals, which are cut from glass to put it bluntly.
There is really no suitable lens, and in the end it can only be replaced by white crystal, and the clarity is naturally not as good as glass lenses, but it can barely be used.
With the increase in the output of the farm, the amount of training of Xiong Zhenjun is gradually increasing, and Xiong Zhenjun's skills in using bed crossbows and divine arm crossbows are also gradually improving.
As soon as the Dragon Boat Festival is over, the wheat is almost time to be harvested. The farm does not grow wheat, so naturally it does not need to be managed, but the garrison's public office fields need to be managed, which is not only the military rations for the coming year, but also the officials' salaries.
According to the military system, government soldiers must prepare their own military rations for military service, and the state only provides ordnance and horses. Then the state exempted military households from taxes and labor, so in these years, there are still many people who are willing to serve as government soldiers.
The harvest of the public land has its own regulations of the past, and Xue Lang is only in charge of Xiao Gui Cao. This year, God still gives face, and the grain can be regarded as a bumper harvest.
Because he was too busy and his physical exertion increased, Xue Lang resumed the rule of three meals a day, and got up every morning to eat some noodles or drink porridge mats, then rode his bicycle out, and came back at noon to eat.
Because of the wheat harvest, there are many four-wheeled carriages on the road that are not usually used, and these carriages are generally pulled by two horses together, long and wide, compared with the carriages that are usually ridden, this can be regarded as a giant, and it is very laborious to turn around, turn, etc. on the road.
At this time, the farmers are busy, regardless of men and women, as long as they have the strength to go to the field, even children, they have to carry a basket and follow behind to pick up ears of wheat, and pay attention to the grains and return to the warehouse.
Xue Lang first rode to the sweet potato field for a walk, to see the growth of the sweet potatoes, and it was almost a month before they could be harvested. The growth period of potatoes is similar to that of sweet potatoes, and the harvest time is also about the same. It will take a while for peanuts and cabbage. Pumpkins can actually be eaten, but considering the problem of seed retention, they are still thoroughly raised before picking.
When he came out of the sweet potato field and was about to ride home, he saw a full four-wheeled carriage passing by on the road, so he stopped in the shade of a tree on the side of the road and waited for a whileβ
"Drive!"
There was a horse-drawn cart full of ears of wheat on the side of the road, turning. Because it was full of heavy ears of wheat, the wheels made deep marks on the road, and they were so full that the groom stood on the side when he turned around, and while pulling the reins, he gave orders with the whip and commanded the horse to turn its head.
The horse turned hard, Xue Lang vaguely seemed to see a child behind the carriage, I don't know if the groom saw it: "Wait, there seems to be someone behind the carriage!" β
The bicycle didn't have time to stop, so I jumped out of the car and ran to the back of the car, only to hear a crisp "ouch" sound, and a girl fell down in response to the sound and rolled to the side, holding a child about two years old in her arms.
"Hit someone!"
The bystanders shouted one after another, and the coachman immediately shouted "Woo" and the horse stopped, and the two young men ran to the fallen girl at the same time, one left and one right.
Xue Lang obviously acted before the two, but in the end he was still behind the two, the two young men were about the same age, both wearing linen clothes, one was gray and the other was blue.
The young man in gray was obviously faster, rushed over and took the child out of the girl's arms, regardless of the child who was still crying after being rescued, he only carefully helped the girl up, and asked eagerly: "Ah Lu, what is the injury?" β
Apparently the two men knew each other. Xue Lang glanced at the girl who saved people, felt familiar, and thought about it, but it was a strange little girl chasing his bicycle that day.
The little girl who was called Ah Lu by the young man in gray frowned, and whispered while inhaling: "Brother, I'm afraid that I hit my waist, and my back hurts." β
At this time, the young man in blue interjected: "I am a doctor, I can help take a look at Sister Ling's injury." β
The young man in gray glanced at the young man in blue and said, "I know you, the doctor who has been setting up a stall in the town every day to see a doctor, has good medical skills, but you are a young man, how can you see my sister's illness?" Don't you know how to avoid suspicion? β
The little girl hurt her waist, and the young man in blue was really inconvenient. Xue Lang, who watched for a while, interjected: "This Xiao Langjun, since Ling Mei's injury is inconvenient for another Xiao Langjun to see, you can come with me, I will take you to find Wei Zeguan's medical order, that is an elderly man with superb medical skills, it should be appropriate to come to Ling Mei for a consultation." β
