Heaven and Earth Destroy...... Someone even took such a nickname!

Even if he is not keen on communicating, Xue Lang also knows that in Chang'an City, there will be a lot of rumors about himself. Xue Lang didn't dare to say that he had made great achievements, but in Chang'an City, if he said that a saint was Zhenglong, he was afraid that no one would have an opinion.

His saint and father-in-law did treat him very well. And Xue Lang came out of thin air, if he was keen to socialize, then others would always know him, but he was not keen on sociability at all.

It's not at all surprising to be curious about a character like him. There will be rumors like this and that, and Xue Lang doesn't think it's strange, human nature is like this. Therefore, Xue Lang was not angry at all.

In the year or two when his parents died one after another, and he and Xue Qing were ignorant of the world, he could be said to have seen all the warmth and coldness of the world, seen many kinds of malice wrapped in sweet sugarcoats such as "good for you", "we are relatives", etc., and also saw how ugly people can be for the sake of profit.

Heaven and Earth Destroy...... Such a nickname, compared to what he has experienced, is too pediatric! If someone says it in front of him next time, he will definitely come up and express his opinion seriously-

It's so ugly! Not at all!

I actually forgot to complain in person today, what a mistake! Xue Lang thought regretfully.

However, Xue Lang's regret will not stay long, because there is always something too busy to make him forget about this trivial matter that is insignificant to him. Yes, as soon as I got home on horseback, I was stopped at the door of the house by officials from the Ministry of Rites—

"Xue Jungong, please stay!"

It was still the outsider from the Ministry of Rites who came, surnamed Zhou: "Xia Guan has seen Xue Jungong." ”

"Zhou Yuanwailang is polite. Stop me, I don't know what's going on? ”

Zhou Yuanwailang smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from the county prince, the lower official has been waiting outside the county mansion for many days, and today is the first time to meet the county prince, and the county prince is really busy." ”

Hearing that others had been waiting for him for so many days, Xue Lang was a little embarrassed, and arched his hand: "I'm sorry, I'm too busy these days, I go out early and return late, and I've been waiting for a long time." I don't know what's going on with the outsider? Why don't I let my concierge give you a notice? I'll wait for you. ”

Zhou Yuanwailang said: "The lower official knows that the county prince has been busy with affairs recently, and it is not good to ask through the concierge about this matter. ”

"I see. However, since I have arrived at the door of the house, let's go in first and sit down, and don't hide it from the outsider, I have been busy outside for a day, and I am very tired, so let's go in and sit and talk. ”

welcomed people to the house, and was too busy to change into dusty clothes, so the two sat in the living room. As soon as he sat down, someone immediately brought the cooked mung bean soup, Xue Lang smiled: "The summer heat is heavy, drink a bowl of mung bean soup to quench your thirst and get rid of the heat." Outsider, please! ”

"Thank you, Princess."

The two drank soup and talked at the same time. Zhou Yuanwailang only then explained the intention-

Xue Lang's wedding with Princess Pingyang is scheduled for the beginning of the next year, and the people from the Ministry of Rites came to ask Xue Lang when he would have time to practice the etiquette process of the wedding.

Xue Lang was stunned and said, "It's just July now, it's still early, right?" ”

Zhou Yuanwailang said: "The county prince's words are wrong, although the time looks like it is still long, but the county prince is not the only thing on hand, right?" The county prince is in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the autumn harvest is bound to be busy. Deduct these busy days, there are not many days left for the county prince, and please be considerate of the lower officials, etc., be sure to take the time to practice you, so as to ensure that there are no mistakes when the wedding comes. ”

A bitter tone. Xue Lang counted with his fingers, although the sweet potatoes were harvested, but they still had to make vermicelli, he wanted to take a look; After a while, the potatoes will be dug again; And then there's the cotton—

These two are not as simple as sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes can be left with plants or tubers, with a lot of choice, while potatoes can only be used with tubers, and when the time comes, the distribution of seeds is a problem; Then there is cotton, which has to be reprocessed after it is recovered, and it is another matter to arrange manpower and train technicians...... Roughly calculated, there is really not much time, no wonder the people in the Ministry of Rites are in a hurry.

Xue Lang didn't want to make a mistake at the wedding, so he promised: "I know, do you think this is good?" The Ministry of Labor and Etiquette sent a teacher to stay in my house, eat and live in my bag, and when I have time, you can guide me, okay? Of course, I also know that this is a bit embarrassing, but I am busy with sweet potato affairs, and there are potatoes to deal with, and then there are white stacks, these affairs cannot be handed over to others, only me, I have no skills, and I can only have all the people from the Ministry of Labor and Rites! ”

Zhou Yuanwailang was a little embarrassed, and said simply: "The subordinate official can't make the decision in this matter, and it's okay to reply to the county prince after going back to the chief official?" ”

"Okay, then I'll bother Zhou Yuanwailang."

"Don't dare, this is a matter within the duties of the lower officials."

After saying something, Zhou Yuanwailang said goodbye with interest. Xue Lang was able to take a shower and change clothes-

It's not that he loves cleanliness, it's really that the road conditions in this ancient era are relatively poor! The city and the outside of the city are all dirt roads, dusty on sunny days, muddy on rainy days, either dirty clothes or dirty heads, and it is impossible to stay when you go home without changing your clothes.

Xue Lang finally went home early for a day and was able to rest well. Princess Pingyang's Mansion, Princess Pingyang was silently holding the prayer note that Chunxue had just handed in, and seemed to be a little distracted.

The room was silent, almost audible of pins dropping. The maids performed their duties, and none of them dared to make a sound, as if they were afraid of disturbing their master's thoughts. After a long time, Princess Pingyang said, "Please let them in, I'll be there later." ”

"Whoa."

Chunxue took the order and left, Princess Pingyang sat quietly for a while, and then she opened her mouth and ordered: "Change clothes!" ”

Hatsuyuki and Twilight immediately stepped forward and helped her to change clothes behind the screen.

Outside the gate of the house, two men, an old man and a young man, were waiting at the door. The older man looked like he was in his early forties, and the younger one was about twenty, and the facial features of the two were somewhat similar, so they should be father and son.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the person who went in to report had not yet come out, the son asked in a low voice, "Father, will the princess really meet us?" Such a presumptuous ......"

The father was an old god, glanced at his son, and also whispered: "Silence, and rest assured, the princess will definitely see us." When she led the troops in Weize Pass a few years ago, we never bothered, and now she has returned to Chang'an, and she has a marriage partner, it is the time to enjoy the glory and wealth, we came to the door at this time, and the time is right. The princess is a wise man, and we are so knowledgeable, how can we not see us! ”

"But ......"

The son wanted to say something, but he saw the vermilion door open, and the porter just now came out to report: "The guest has been waiting for a long time, the princess is invited!" ”

The father glanced at his son meaningfully, nodded to the porter, and walked towards the door. The son was stunned for a moment, and then immediately followed, with a faint apprehension in his expression.
