Chapter 292: Entertaining the Saints

Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, except for the day of the Shangyuan Festival, there is a curfew in Chang'an City for the rest of the time, and the day of the Shangyuan Festival is the only night market in Chang'an City. The rest of the time, at most, you can only wander around the area. Because there is only one day a year, Xue Lang can meet Li Tang royals one after another.

Most of the people who put the lamps by the river were women, but fortunately there were a few men mixed in, otherwise the saints who put the lights would be too conspicuous. Guanglu said respectfully: "Everyone, there are many people by the river, why don't you let the lowly position drive people away?" ”

The saint waved his hand: "No! During the Shangyuan Festival, I and the parents of the world are in the same mood, and if I drive them away, wouldn't it ruin the marriage of other people's families? ”

Guanglu: "It's a humble and thoughtless job. It's freezing and I'm afraid that the river is slippery, so be careful. ”

The sage nodded, and with the support of the chamberlain and Guanglu, he went to the river and put the lamp on.

Xue Lang was moved, but he couldn't intervene, so he could only sincerely thank the saint: "Thank you to the saint." ”

The saint smiled and said, "If you want to thank me, marry and have children as soon as possible." ”

Then you can let your daughter agree to marry me sooner!

Of course, the above sentence can't be said, so Xue Lang can only laugh dryly and can't speak.

"It's getting dark at night, I should go back to the palace, what about the Qing family?"

"Back to the saint, the minister and the righteous brother have made an appointment to meet at the place and go back to the house together."

After speaking, he hesitated slightly, thinking about the lamp that the sage had just put for him, and asked respectfully: "Dare to ask the sage, the minister has made a Lantern Festival, if the sage does not dislike it, please invite the sage to eat a bowl of Lantern Festival at the minister's house, how about warming the dragon body?" ”

The sage smiled heartily and said, "The food in the Qing family's mansion is to be tasted." Ah Yin will also go with him. ”

Ah Yin...... Then this is Concubine Yin De?!

Xue Lang restrained his curiosity and responded: "Sage, please." ”

Then, Xue Lang sent someone to tell Jiang Lin and Su Han that he would take the saint back to the mansion first-

The saint actually came on horseback, and the carriage was for Concubine Yin De.

If modern people pursue luxury cars, then Tang people pursue BMW, and having a good horse at home is just like modern people having a luxury car, which often implies identity, status and wealth. So, the future His Majesty Taizong, who likes to collect BMWs, is actually the same type as the men who like to collect luxury cars in later generations?

This brain supplement is also drunk.

However, regardless of whether it is on a horse or a carriage, it is difficult to travel at this time, because there are so many people who come to watch the lanterns. There were guards in front of the way, and the carriage could only move slowly.

Xue Lang was riding Guanglu's horse, Changjian was in front to help him lead the horse, and Guanglu was leading the horse to the sage, so as not to surprise the horses and have an accident. When he returned to the county mansion, he actually walked for almost half an hour, and the sage smiled: "It's really not easy to eat a snack at Xue Qing's house." ”

Xue Lang smiled embarrassedly, welcomed people into the house, and as soon as he entered the door, Changjian cleverly ran to the kitchen and asked Xiuniang to quickly cook the Lantern Festival.

Xue Lang welcomed the saint to the main hallβ€”β€”

As soon as the saint arrived at the door, he looked at the Taishi chair in the hall, and suddenly felt a novelty: "The style of this furniture in the Qing family is novel!" ”

In the early Tang Dynasty, there were no chairs, and most of them were laid with wooden planks in the living room and sat on the floor. Wealthy families would set up low couches and serve as chairs, and everyone would kneel together.

Xue Lang said: "Hui Sheng, the minister is in another country, and the style of furniture and the way of sitting and lying are different from my Tang Dynasty. Don't hide it from the sage, since he arrived in Datang, he was not very suitable for kneeling and sitting, so he painted the style one by one and asked the carpenter to make the furniture that he was used to in the past. Please sage try. ”

The sage nodded, sat down on the chair on the left, and habitually wanted to cross his legs, but found that sitting like this was more comfortable than sitting cross-legged on a low couch. couldn't help but light up his eyes, and beckoned to Concubine Yin De: "Ah Yin also come and try." ”

"Whoa."

Concubine Yin De, who had been silent, walked over, sat down on the chair on the right, tried it, and said with a smile: "Everyone, it's really more comfortable than sitting on the couch." ”

Xue Langfu to the heart: "If the saint and the lady do not dislike it, the minister can attach the drawings." ”

The saint seemed to be a little reluctant: "This is unique to the Qing family, how can I ask for it?" No, no! ”

Xue Lang hurriedly said: "It's just a few pieces of furniture style, it's not worth anything, the saint puts the lamp on behalf of the minister to ask for marriage, and treats the minister as a son and nephew, so how can the minister honor the saint a few pieces of furniture?" I beg the saint to take it! ”

The sage laughed: "Okay, good, since Youyang said so, then I'll take it!" ”

I was back at home just now, and I immediately became a young sun! Sure enough, every emperor is not simple?

Xue Lang complained silently in his heart, saying that he would enter the palace tomorrow to present the drawings, and Changjian would report it, and the Lantern Festival would be cooked.

Xue Lang immediately ordered someone to bring the Lantern Festival up-

It's not too big, it's about the size of a baby's fist, it's white and chubby, and it's very appetizing when you look at it. The sage looked at the round and chubby Lantern Festival in the bowl and said, "Youyang, this is the Lantern Festival?" It looks like a cocoon. ”

When the Tang people celebrate the Lantern Festival, what they eat is called a noodle cocoon, which is also round, but the filling of the package is different from today's. The name Lantern Festival did not appear until the Ming Dynasty.

Xue Lang hurriedly said: "Back to the saint, this is the Lantern Festival." There are two kinds of fillings, one is peanuts brought back from a foreign country, and the other is sesame seeds, which are invited to be tasted by the sage. ”

The sage nodded, and the porcelain spoon held one, and there were no sesame seeds stuck to the skin, it should be peanuts-

Sure enough, the sage bit it open, and the fragrance of peanuts came to his nose, and the sage nodded: "Not bad!" Ah Yin also tasted it. ”

Xue Lang hurriedly ordered someone to bring a screen, and invited Concubine Yin De to take off her hat and eat Lantern Festival after entering the screen. There is no need to ask, the Lantern Festival was naturally praised by the saint and Concubine Yin De.

The saint ate a bowl without saying anything, and unceremoniously took the food box that Xue Lang ordered to pack, and took several Lantern Festivals back to the palace with him.

As soon as the saint left, Jiang Lin and Su Han returned. Jiang Lin asked quietly, "Big brother, who came just now?" I saw that the gate of the mansion was heavily guarded, so I pulled Hengyu and waited for a while, and I didn't dare to come back until the guards at the door dispersed. ”

Xue Lang asked people to serve them a lantern festival, and said, "The saint came just now, so he strengthened the guard." ”

"Is it a saint? That big brother ......"

Jiang Lin suddenly stopped halfway through his words, and looked at Xue Lang with a strange expression. Xue Lang was inexplicably looked at by him: "How am I?" ”

Jiang Lin shook his head decisively: "It's nothing." This Lantern Festival is good! ”

Su Han nodded in agreement on the side: "Exactly, Youyang's dim sum has never disappointed, fortunately, I have a stomach and only ate 40,000 wontons of stew, otherwise I will miss the deliciousness!" ”

Only...... Only ate four bowls of ravioli!

Xue Lang looked at Su Han's empty bowl and silently admitted defeat-

Four bowls of wontons and two bowls of Lantern Festival......

As a foodie, Dr. Su's stomach capacity has never disappointed his appetite! Xue Lang said he lost!

complained about Su Han in his heart, Xue Lang didn't forget to call Changjian and ordered him to send Lantern Festival to Princess Pingyang-

I hope that this delicacy that can brush her father's favor, by the way, can also brush Princess Pingyang's favor, and when I know about one of his behaviors in a few days, for the sake of food, don't be angry!
