Chapter 245: The Prince's Gift
After Xue Lang attended the welcome party, he returned to Tingfeng Courtyard without a moment's delay-
Yesterday, Jiang Lin had nothing to do, went out for a walk around the mountains, and came back with a deer. Venison is the most tender and is simply delicious when grilled. Xue Lang specially prepared some seasonings yesterday and marinated the meat overnight, and planned to roast it today.
Just Xue Lang, Jiang Lin, and Su Han ate it, there is no need to be complicated if there are few people, light a charcoal basin, and Ah Tu will roast it for the three of them to eat. Xue Lang deliberately took out a jar of fruit wine, but the liquor has not yet been brewed. The three of them eat a mouthful of wine and meat, don't mention how beautiful it is on a small day!
"Wine is good and meaty, but the days of the gods are not like this, right?"
Su Han drank a shallow amount of wine, and the wine would be on his face, and when he drank a sip of wine, his face was pink and pink, and his eyes were a little confused after drinking three glasses. In the past few days, he has been drinking with Xue Lang and Jiang Lin every day, and the amount of alcohol is so bad that Jiang Lin, an upright teenager, can't help but laugh.
Su Han was full of words: "I am a person who studies medicine, I want to make needles and knives, and my hands are shaking if I drink too much alcohol, which is not good for medical skills, so don't be greedy for cups!" β
Hearing Jiang Lin's admiration, he couldn't help but raise his glass: "Doctor Su is really a benevolent and benevolent doctor, Jiang Lin admires it, and I salute Dr. Su with a glass!" β
When Su Han heard this, he almost fell off the chair, pointed at Jiang Lin and asked, "Knowing that I have a poor amount of wine, I still toast, are you sure you admire?" Didn't you take the opportunity to pour alcohol? β
Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, touched his head, and said embarrassedly: "I really admire, Doctor Su drank water, I did it!" β
After speaking, he poured a cup into his stomach. Xue Lang, who was watching next to the latest and fastest update, laughed when he saw it.
The three true and false singles are eating meat and drinking, and they are lively, and Wan Fu comes to report: "Yu Dalang, there are people outside the door who claim to be the servants of His Royal Highness the Prince, holding tokens and giving gifts to Dalang!" β
"Who?"
Xue Lang hurriedly swallowed the meat in his mouth and asked. Wanfu reported it again and handed over the token.
Xue Lang looked at it, it was a jade pendant, he didn't know if it was built by the prince, but if he wanted to come to Weize Pass to give gifts under his banner, there was no one, it should be true.
"Let's go and see."
Put down the wine glass, chopsticks, wipe your mouth and go out to the side door to see-
I saw a middle-aged man dressed as a domestic servant outside the door, with people waiting outside the door, and a wide carriage parked beside him, smaller than the four-wheeled carriage that specializes in pulling heavy goods, but also wider than the ordinary carriage.
The man obviously knew Xue Lang, and when he saw Xue Lang come out, he immediately bowed and saluted: "The old slave has seen Xue Jungong." My master admired Xue Jungong's character and demeanor, and specially ordered me to send a letter and a little courtesy, and asked Xue Jungong to take a look. β
Xue Lang looked at the carriage covered with cloth, took the letter and looked at it-
I don't know if it is the prince's own letter, but the handwriting in the letter is beautiful and powerful. Although Xue Lang has never practiced calligraphy, he also has a certain level of appreciation, and he can't help but applaud a good word in his heart.
It is not easy to generate an ancient nobleman, and the six arts of a gentleman must be learned, especially books, which have been practiced since childhood. Modern children say that they have a heavy burden and learn more, but compared with the children of the ancient aristocracy, in fact, there is not much homework. It can be seen that the cultivation of talents has been the case since ancient times.
In modern times, Xue Lang also visited the calligraphy of the prince's younger brother, His Majesty Taizong, and he can indeed be called a master of calligraphy. The prince's handwriting is different from his brother's, and it has another style, but it is also a good handwriting.
In the historical records of the Li Tang royal family, there are many children of good books, I think it is because of the origin of family learning, maybe it is also related to current customs and habits?
"Xue Jungong?"
Seeing that Xue Lang was born with the letter, he didn't react for a long time, and the prince's servant couldn't help but shout at him. Xue Lang hurriedly came back to his senses and looked at the letter carefully-
However, in fact, I am very ignorant! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince overestimated Xue Lang's reading level in classical Chinese, and the words used were too elegant, and Xue Lang still didn't understand it three times, and half of it was guessed.
So, Xue Lang looked at the person with an honest face, he didn't need to pretend, he was full of embarrassment, and said: "I'm ashamed to say that Xue is only a shallow learner, and the prince's words are too elegant, I can't understand it at all." Tired and noble, ashamed and ashamed. β
The corners of the visitor's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he took the letter returned by Xue Lang with an embarrassed face, and said dryly: "The old slave will definitely tell the master, but this car gift is the heart of my master, and I ask Xue Jungong to accept it." β
After speaking, he nodded to the person next to the car, and the man lifted the covering clothβ
A cart full of gold and silver objects!
Today's rare little not warm but still bright sunlight, under the illumination of the sun, the light pierced his eyes, Xue Lang couldn't help but rub his eyes, and look again, the dazzling light is the same! Not a dream!
"Shhh
Jiang Lin and Su Han, who were behind them, were also stimulated and gasped, and Xue Lang could hear the loud inhalation sound clearly in front of him. Su Han was still whispering: "Such a cart of gold and silver can be enjoyed for several generations." β
Xue Langxin said that with the price of Chang'an City, if such a car of gold and silver is exchanged for money, "Chang'anju, it is not easy" is a joke!
The person who came obviously saw everything in his eyes, and said with a little pride: "These utensils are all given to Xue Jungong by my master, and there is no mark of fabrication on them, so they can be disposed of as much as Xue Jungong wills." My master said that it is not a respect, and he is willing to make friends with Xue Jungong and talk about brotherhood. β
Xue Lang's face became serious-
In this era when fame and integrity are related to life, it is a matter of ethics and virtue, and it must be taken seriously.
Xue Lang said solemnly: "Thank you for the prince's attention, however, Xue Lang grew up in a foreign country, came from a humble background, and almost froze to death in the wilderness, it was Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang who saved me, and Her Royal Highness did not give up, appointed me as a government official, trusted me, and entrusted me with important tasks." The princess has the grace of saving my life and knowing me. Although Xue Lang was born in a humble background, he is not an ungrateful person, and the princess's grace is greater than heaven, and I should repay it with my liver and brains. And I have no credit to His Royal Highness the Prince, if I forget my righteousness, abandon the princess's great kindness, and switch to the prince, I am a two-hearted person, such a person, will the prince still dare to use me? Therefore, this gift can only be returned in its original form, and it can be conveyed by the noble servants! β
After speaking, regardless of the reaction of the visitor, he directly ordered Wanfu: "Wanfu, send off!" β
"Whoa."
Wanfu immediately sent off the guests on his behalf.
The face of the person who came was blue and white, snorted coldly, turned around and left, of course, did not forget to take away the car of dazzling so-called gifts.
"What are you two looking at me like that?"
As soon as Xue Lang turned around and entered, he met two pairs of adoring eyes, and he couldn't help but be startled. Jiang Lin gave a thumbs up without hesitation: "The eldest brother is virtuous, and the younger brother should learn more from the eldest brother." β
Su Han nodded approvingly: "Su Han is the same, if it were me, it would be difficult to be as simple as Xue Counselor." β
Xue Lang clutched his chest and sighed, "You guys look down on me!" I grew so big, and it was the first time I saw so much gold and silver appear in front of my eyes, so shocked! It's just something you can't want, no matter how heartache you can't do it! In other words, I used to think that I was rich, but now when I look at it, I feel so poor! β
Su Han's eyes almost turned into copper coins, and he looked like he was concerned: "Me too." I have never felt that I am poor, and after today, I know that Su is poor. β
Xue Lang sighed: "However, no matter how poor you are, you can't ask for those things!" β
The three of them looked at each other and sighed in unison. Su Han said: "Counselor Xue's heart is broken, only food and wine can heal. Let's try to finish the venison! β
Xue Lang said: "This suggestion is real, I really need food to comfort my stabbed eyes." β
The three of them covered their hearts that were still in pain, and gathered around the table again with a grin, and continued to eat their barbecue.
