Chapter 218: Good News Comes
"Xue Lang, do you know what you're talking about?"
Princess Pingyang asked in a low tone with a cold expression. Xue Lang said calmly: "Go back to Your Highness, you know!" Please calm down Your Highness and let your subordinates finish. ”
Princess Pingyang glanced at Xue Lang and didn't speak, just nodded.
Xue Lang said: "My subordinates know how to spin blended cotton, and they also know what the loom looks like, so they only need to find craftsmen and spend some time researching, and it is easy to make actual products." Compared with silk, which can only be sold to the powerful, cotton cloth has a wider customer base, there is no legal restriction, and it can be worn by both the powerful and the commoners. The profits will be huge. His Royal Highness has a silk village under his name, and there is also a weaving workshop, so it is just right to make a living in this business. ”
"There is no shortage of money in this palace."
Princess Pingyang's tone was cold. Xue Lang looked at Princess Pingyang seriously and said, "Your Highness, in life, everyone is short of money!" Even if Your Royal Highness is a princess, there will be times when you are short of money, and even saints will be short of money. His Highness is not short of small money, but he lacks big money to buy a transcendent position. ”
Princess Pingyang's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, and she immediately regained her composure and sat upright without saying a word.
Xue Lang saw that she didn't say anything against it, so he continued: "The saint is old, and he can't suppress the prince and the king of Qin, so that the prince and the king of Qin will fight. His Royal Highness's military merits are impressive, and there is the merit of offering auspiciousness, and now with the merit of using cotton, I can feel at ease. It's just that I hope that Your Highness can take the initiative and have more chips in your hands. If the new saint in the future can tolerate people, His Highness can live a prosperous life in peace, and if the new saint is short of money, he can also donate a little money in exchange for fame and status; If the new saint in the future has an idea, His Highness will inevitably fall into the situation of being tortured by others, and he can offer this cotton blend weaving method for a change of stability. ”
In this world, the most precious is the human heart, and the ugliest is also the human heart. Princess Pingyang has merit and has no worries about her life. However, if you want to learn from a princess, there is no way to use it. Whoever made this ancient woman, born as a woman, was born to stand in a weak position.
Xue Lang was grateful for Princess Pingyang's kindness, and didn't want Her Royal Highness the princess to be wronged, so he had this plan. Of course, if he is in the court, he will definitely do his best to protect Her Royal Highness the princess, but it does not prevent Her Royal Highness from holding more chips in her hands.
Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang, in Xue Lang's impression, is a wise and dignified, noble and elegant princess, if possible, he hopes that Her Royal Highness can maintain her dignity and pride for the rest of her life, without bowing to anyone, without begging for mercy. Live a life of pride and nobility!
"Xue Lang!"
Princess Pingyang called Xue Lang's name almost word by word, and Xue Lang replied: "My subordinates are here." ”
"Why...... That's it, this palace doesn't ask anymore. I'll think about it. ”
"Whoa!"
"Don't look up! Go out, I don't want to see you again today. ”
The tone was not angry, just like the tone and tone that Her Royal Highness had used to in the past.
Xue Lang was stunned for a moment, and retired according to his words: "In this way, the subordinates will retire." I beg your Highness to be considerate, and if you can take the advice of your subordinates, your subordinates will be very happy. ”
"Got it, stand down."
It sounds like you're chasing someone.
Xue Lang had to retreat and leave, and he didn't know if Her Royal Highness the princess had listened to his words. Although it is too early to say this before Her Royal Highness the princess survives the catastrophe of life and death. However, it is not possible to plan ahead.
What I said today is a bit abrupt, and I don't know if Her Royal Highness the princess feels offended? I don't know if I'm angry?
Xue Lang was a little apprehensive, but he really hoped that Her Royal Highness the Princess would take his advice. Fame and merit, plus money, Her Royal Highness the princess will have a small life in the future...... Even if you are not in power, you can live a very nourishing life. In this way, Xue Lang will be relieved to receive her kindness.
After thinking about it like this, I felt that even if Her Royal Highness the princess was angry, this suggestion should be made. Thinking about it, in the style of Her Royal Highness the Princess, if you get angry, you will definitely punish him on the spot. So, this kind of performance is actually lifeless, right?
Xue Lang was actually relieved!
The next day, when the needle and thread people came to learn how to sew a padded jacket, the feeling of relief was even greater. Xue Lang asked Lamei and the people who came to teach needlework on the winter solstice to ask everyone to make one for Her Royal Highness the princess first, and by the way, make one for him to practice his hands. After the hand is cooked, sew another one for the saint...... Oh, yes, I have to play a set of cotton rolls for the saint, after all, I used cotton as an excuse to come to Weize Pass, or should I take it seriously.
So, Xue Lang continued to work as a cotton craftsman, and by the way, he also used the extra cotton to play two mattresses for him and Jiang Lin, and the quilt was not needed, there was a wool quilt.
After a day's work, I fell asleep very tired, I felt that I couldn't sleep steadily, and I was dreaming vaguely, who was dreaming, what was the content of the dream, but I didn't remember it at all. Until I was woken up by the bell that called for the meeting, I was still a little stunned-
"Dalang, please clean your face!"
"Hmm!"
I washed my hands with the handmade soap handed over by Lamei, and the towel soaked in hot water was pasted on my face, so that I felt more sober. After washing up neatly, he drank a bowl of porridge brought by Changjian, and hurried to the main hall to discuss matters.
When I entered the main hall, many people had already come, and most of the people who didn't come lived far away. He is the only one who is so late as Xue Lang lives. Embarrassed, he arched his hand, found his seat and sat down in a low-key manner, and raised his head just to meet the calm and peaceful gaze of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Princess said with concern: "Youyang doesn't seem to have a good rest?" ”
There is no difference at all, so the princess who let him out the day before yesterday and forbade him to look up was actually his delusion?
Xue Lang was a little confused, but he still remembered to answer: "Back to Your Highness, I was making cotton all day yesterday, and I was a little tired." ”
"I see, I have good news here, I think you can recover a little bit after listening to it."
"What's the news?"
Princess Pingyang said calmly: "I'll talk about it after everyone is ready." ”
You can't say in advance that you specifically mention a ...... Ahem! Xue Lang complained silently, patiently waiting for someone to come. After a while, everyone came. Princess Pingyang saw that everyone had arrived, and nodded to the attendant, who took out a document from his sleeve cage and said, "Good news!" ”
Hearing these two words, Xue Lang was indeed in good spirits, and hurriedly pricked up his ears and listened to the attendant read the paperwork-
"The King of Qin was ordered to meet the Turkic Jieli Khan, shot and wounded Jieli, captured 8,000 enemies, and won a great victory! The king of Qin ordered the envoy to enter Beijing to report the good news! Jieli didn't dare to fight, and asked me for peace! ”
"Good!"
Dong Sima exclaimed, and the generals were also overjoyed, quite a sense of raising their eyebrows. Only Xue Lang, only one sentence echoed in his mind-
History has changed!
In the original history, although this battle was won, it was not a big victory, and it did not hurt Jieli. In terms of the damage caused by Jieli to the Tang Border Pass, it is simply not worth mentioning, and in the end, he can only be wronged and ask for peace and pay for peace for the Turks.
Now not only did he win, but he also wounded Jieli and captured 8,000 Turkic soldiers...... It's changed! Suddenly, Xue Lang inexplicably gained a little more confidence in helping Her Royal Highness the princess survive the catastrophe of life and death.
Xue Lang's mood was simply surprised and happy, and he didn't even hear Her Royal Highness the princess call him, until the colleague next to him touched him, and he came back to his senses: "What's the matter?" ”
Princess Pingyang glanced at him helplessly, and said patiently: "This big victory also has the merit of Youyang!" What was Youyang thinking just now? And you have not even heard my words of joy? ”
