After the Winter Solstice Festival, the first snow of winter fell in Chang'an, the snow was not heavy, accompanied by light rain, not only muddy, but also cold. The weather was cold, but the cotton shop named "IKEA" suggested by Xue Lang did very well, and in just a few days, it sold a lot of cotton bedding.

Every winter, Xue Lang is particularly nostalgic for modern times. There are endless vegetables and fruits, only picky eaters don't want to eat, where will there be those who want to eat but can't eat.

There was no haze in the Tang Dynasty, the river water was also clear, it was easy to meet the drinking water standard, and the environment was so good that it was a good one, but the lack of materials and the inconvenience of transportation, these two points alone were enough to make Xue Lang, a young man who crossed the ball, a pain!

But if you wear it all, what else can you do? I can only work hard to make my life better and more comfortable, and the rest depends on adaptation and compromise. For a bite to eat, Xue Lang felt really heartbroken!

After the winter solstice, before the winter hunt, Ye Qing and Jiang Lin finally came back!

Win big!

The sage decreed to open the south gate, and the prince Jiancheng led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet him at the south gate. Suzaku Street is draped in red and hung with colors to welcome the return of the victorious soldiers.

Xue Lang naturally also participated in this welcoming ceremony, he was tall, standing in the ranks of officials, and it did not affect him to carefully look at Jiang Lin and Ye Qing after a long absence-

Jiang Lin is obviously dark and thin, but his eyes are much more confident than in the past, his expression is resolute and calm, because of the change in his demeanor and temperament, he looks older than in the past, and he will no longer have the youthful feeling of the past.

Men's self-confidence is mostly built by their careers. Jiang Lin is strong in martial arts, only humble, in the past, he looked a little ignorant, but now, after the experience of war and leading soldiers, he can be regarded as a real man!

You can't treat him like a child anymore!

Xue Lang smiled and watched Jiang Lin step onto the war horse, accepting the greetings and cheers of the crowd, today's glory belongs to Ye Qing and Jiang Lin, this is what they have fought hard with their lives, and it is right!

He is not in a hurry to say goodbye to Jiang Lin, the saint will hold a celebration banquet in the Lin De Palace, at that time, it is time to have two cups with Jiang Lin to congratulate him on his victorious return.

I want to think so, but because it is a big banquet, there are many courtiers who participate, and Ye Qing and Jiang Lin are the protagonists, Ye Qing is a cool brother as always, taciturn, and not good at words.

In contrast, Jiang Lin, who was constantly smiling, seemed more friendly and lively. Xue Lang looked at it, maybe the two of them had cooperated in the battle, and they seemed to have a tacit understanding, and several times, after Ye Qing was cold, Jiang Lin took the initiative to enliven the atmosphere, and they cooperated quite tacitly.

This is a windfall, right?

Xue Lang watched it funny and was happy to watch.

"Big brother, little brother is back! Finally lived up to the expectations of the eldest brother and returned victorious! ”

Finally, Jiang Lin was finally able to get out, and when he saw him, he wanted to salute, Xue Lang hurriedly supported him and said, "Between you and my brothers, there is no need to be so vain. This is not the place and time to talk, and we have to talk about it later! Come, you and I have a drink and celebrate your victory! ”

"Whoa! Thank you, big brother, little brother do it first! ”

After the brothers had a drink, Jiang Lin was called away again to persuade him to drink-

He returned to the dynasty after victory, his military merits are in his body, he is the protagonist of this banquet, and he is also the upstart in everyone's eyes.

The timing was not right, Xue Lang naturally wouldn't hinder Jiang Lin, thought about it, and took the initiative to find Ye Qing: "Ziming, come, I toast you, congratulations on your safe return, and return to the dynasty with victory!" ”

"Thank you, Xue Jungong!"

Ye Qing raised his wine glass without hesitation, and Xue Lang laughed: "I call you Ziming, and you still call me the county prince?" Since you and Ah Lin have become good friends, why don't you also call me big brother? ”

Ye Qing's eyes lit up, he glanced at Xue Lang silently, saw that he spoke sincerely, and changed his words briskly: "Brother Xue, please!" ”

Xue Lang smiled and clinked glasses with him. Xue Lang only drank one drink with him, not that he didn't want to drink more, but there were already a lot of people who respected Ye Qing and Jiang Lin, and with the amount of alcohol they had, they were drunk today! It's just that sooner or later, Xue Lang won't add fuel to the fire, well, he thinks that watching from the sidelines is his brotherhood with the two!

After the celebration banquet, Jiang Lin did not have time to visit him, and the sage ordered the soldiers who returned from the victory to participate in this year's winter hunt. Over the years, the purpose of winter hunting is not to enjoy the joy of hunting, but mostly to review the troops, so the triumphant army will be allowed to participate, boost the morale of the army and the people, and promote the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

Winter Hunt Xue Lang naturally wanted to participate, he ordered his own part, brought the buns and they came out-

In winter, Baozi still showed no signs of wanting to get pregnant, and neither did soy milk. This also proves from the side that the four dogs have been genetically altered by crossing. Thinking that he also crossed over together, I wonder what effect the crossing had on him? Xue Lang was a little apprehensive!

This year's winter hunt was held in the paddock outside Chang'an City, and the ministers in Chang'an, both civil and military, participated. The mighty procession went out and walked for a day before reaching the paddock.

Everything in the enclosure has been prepared, except for the crown prince and some ministers who stayed in Chang'an. However, there are so many people, and everything is only arranged in an orderly manner, which shows that the organizational skills are good.

As soon as Xue Lang arrived, someone came to lead him to the divided position, instructed the troops to set up tents, and he released the dogs, holding a brush to brush the four dogs.

"Youyang!"

Next to the venue allocated to Xue Lang was Pei Ju, seeing that the neighbor was Xue Lang, the old man was very happy, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to be a neighbor with Youyang this year, it seems that the old man has a good fortune this year!" ”

Xue Lang smiled and arched his hand: "If Gong Pei doesn't dislike it, after harvesting the prey, you can take it over and let the lower officials marinate it for you and then roast it." ”

Pei Juxi said: "Great goodness! So the old man was so cheeky! ”

Xue Lang's skills in hunting are not good, although he has been practicing his bow skills, but the hit rate is not good, let alone shooting live animals, so hunting has to be a part of the field, Xue Lang took the buns and filled them indiscriminately————

Of course, it's him who is the one who is indiscriminate, not the dogs! Cover your face!

Xue Lang's troops were used to it, and when the hunt began, a team was left to guard him, and the rest of the people took their own tools and went into the mountain with full tacit understanding.

Xue Lang wiped his face and said to the steamed buns: "Steamed buns, go hunting by yourself, be careful when you enter the mountain, don't be injured by mistake!" ”

"Wang!"

The steamed bun screamed, and led its little friend into the mountain.

Pei Ju was old, and he only let his subordinates go hunting, he and Xue Lang stayed at the foot of the mountain together, watched Xue Lang fiddle with the seasonings, and said with a smile: "The so-called food is not tired of being fine, and it is not tired of being fine." The old man looked at Youyang quite a few of the three flavors. ”

Xue Lang said: "Pei Gong won the award, in fact, Xia Guan is not a picky eater, but it is just a habit and taste developed in the past. Xiaguan called people back, and the heart also returned, but the mouth has not yet returned, and it still needs to be adapted. ”

Pei Ju laughed and agreed: "Youyang said this, it's true!" ”

The two chatted a few words, and after a while, some of the tribes sent the prey down, mostly small prey, although the volume was not large, but they were all roasted and delicious, obviously, the tribes knew the taste of the master.

Pei Ju looked at Xue Lang's cooking with a thoughtful expression, and asked, "These are all the parts of the young yang?" ”

Xue Lang nodded. Pei Ju said: "The old man looks at these sons, they are all extraordinary in their actions, sitting and lying, and I heard that Youyang also knows the method of military training, so it is true to think of coming here." ”
