Chapter 392: Rumors
Chang'an City tried to plant sweet potatoes for the first time and won more than 12,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes! It's a good harvest, a great harvest! The day after the sage received the report, he issued an edict to the province to spread the good news to the world!
With the edict issued, Xue Lang was also promoted! The title has not changed, and the actual official has not changed, and he has been promoted to the rank of a casual officer, and he has been promoted to the rank of Yinqing Guanglu from the third rank. With the promotion comes a large number of rewards.
Such an official rank is not considered a high position in the court, but Xue Lang is only twenty-six years old this year, and with his age, with his official position and title, he can be described as a real young talent.
However, this young talent has become the future concubine of Princess Pingyang, and there is not even a hostess in charge of the house.
Xue Lang naturally didn't know these inside information, he was very busy, busy directing people to store sweet potatoes, arranging people in the vermicelli workshop, and starting to make vermicelli. At the same time, he has to dig up the sweet potatoes grown on his farm and make vermicelli.
Xue Lang kept about 200 catties of sweet potatoes planted in his own field and hid them in the cellar, and the rest, half of them were kept to make vermicelli, and half were distributed to the tribe's family, plus the harvest of autumn grain, basically, the life of the tribes was over, and he should not need to subsidize it until the time of the catastrophe in the future.
Xue Lang's approach made the subordinates grateful to him, but whenever he went to the field, the people in the village, regardless of men, women, old and young, would salute him sincerely and respectfully, and thank him for his kindness.
Xue Lang was very helpless, but it was not easy to say. The population of his house is simple, and the expenses are not large. It is his responsibility to follow him, fight for his life, take care of their families, and let everyone have no worries. If he can't even take care of his family, where will anyone really be willing to die for him. All this is done because I don't want my conscience to be disturbed.
Xue Lang finished his house, Princess Pingyang also came back from Renzhi Palace, and the sweet potatoes in her village were also dug up, and she didn't ask Xue Lang to help her make vermicelli, but went directly to the vermicelli workshop that is now subordinate to the Shaofu Supervisor, waiting for the vermicelli workshop to make it for her.
Xue Lang understood her intentions, she was making rules for the future, and she didn't say anything. When he returned to the city from the field, he hadn't eaten yet, but Xue Lang was a little hungry and asked Changjian: "Which restaurant in the city is better?" Let's go eat a little bit of the bottom of the mat first. ”
"Whoa."
Xue Lang came out on horseback today, Changjian led the horse, and the two of them went to the West Market together. If you talk about the delicious food in Chang'an City, it is also the West Market, where there are many Hu people, the Hu people's cakes are well done, and there are not a few Tang people who love to eat Hu cakes, so there are many people who like to eat in the West Market. As a result, all restaurants with a little ability are mostly opened in the West Market. Xue Lang is eating out for the first time, so Changjian naturally wants to take it to a famous place with a good reputation.
Changjian took Xue Lang to one of the best restaurants in the West Market. This restaurant actually has a private seat, and the decoration is not bad. Xue Lang was wearing an ordinary linen round-necked robe, wrapped in a black hat, the weather was hot, and the burlap was sweat-absorbing better than the silk cloth, and it was comfortable to wear. ordered three signature dishes and cakes, and under the guidance of Xiao Er, he entered the elegant seat and waited for the dishes to be served, Changjian asked in a low voice, "Da Lang, do you want wine?" ”
That's right, these days, restaurants only sell food, and if you want to drink, you can only go to the wine store next door to buy it. The two are separate. Xue Lang waved his hand: "No need." ”
How could the wine outside be comparable to the wine at home, so he generally did not drink outside unless necessary. That's not enjoyment, that's abuse of the taste buds.
There seemed to be someone eating in the next seat, and the sound of pushing the cup and changing the lamp came from time to time. Today is the day of rest, the business of the restaurant is not bad, Xue Lang wants to eat in the private seat, and he waited downstairs for a while just now to have a seat.
"Alas!"
"Why is Brother Wang sighing?"
"I've drunk the wine on the Changping County Mansion, and I'm really disappointed to drink this again!"
Listening to the voices, you knew it was two young men. Hearing that he was talking about himself, Xue Lang deliberately listened to it, the voice was not familiar, with his memory, it was obvious that these two did not know each other.
"Oh? I heard that Xue Jungong lived in a simple house and didn't like to socialize with people, so Brother Wang was able to come to the door as a guest? ”
The man called Brother Wang said, "Brother Liu Xian doesn't know, it's not me, it's my uncle." My uncle served in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, some time ago, the sage issued an edict and recruited Xue Lang as the princess of Pingyang, Anguo, and Xue Lang had given wine to congratulate him in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. My uncle was given a small jar, and when I went to my uncle's house as a guest, I had the pleasure of tasting it, and after tasting it, I realized what it was called before! Where can it be called fine wine, but sour water! ”
"Is it really that good?"
"If there is a half-truth, I won't be able to go to Xin Duzhi's couch for a month."
"I swear by Xin Duzhi, my little brother believes you!"
That Liu Xian's voice was quite solemn. Xue Lang couldn't help but laugh again and again when he heard it, the two gentlemen, this oath is also unique!
I heard Brother Liu Xian say: "Brother Wang, when it comes to the future Xue Juma and Princess Pingyang of Anguo, have you heard of the latest words in the city?" ”
Brother Wang hurriedly asked: "The younger brother was pressed at home by his uncle today, and he never came out to play, what new words are there in the city?" Brother Liu Xian, hurry up and tell the foolish brother. ”
Brother Liu Xian's voice was lowered, quite mysterious, if Xue Lang hadn't listened intently, he wouldn't have been able to hear it
"Some time ago, after the edict of the sage recruiting the prince of Changping County to be the concubine of Princess Pingyang of Anguo was issued, some people jokingly called the marriage of these two people a perfect match."
"Princess Pingyang of Anguo commands the army as a woman, and her military achievements are impressive, although Xue Lang has some talent, but it is not a match made in heaven, right? Xue Lang's background is too poor to be worthy of the princess. ”
The royal brother was quite upright. Brother Liu Xian sneered: "Who is talking to you about this!" This perfect match means something else! ”
"Please also ask the virtuous brother to solve your doubts."
Brother Wang humbly asked. Brother Liu Xiandi smiled proudly and said in a low voice: "When Princess Pingyang was young, she was married to Chai Shao, a thousand cows in the East Palace of the former Dynasty, and on the wedding night, her husband died violently, and the name of Kefu can be described as loud for a while, have you heard of it?" ”
"Brother Fool has heard about this, and my aunt also said that she used this matter to educate her sisters."
"Have you heard of Xue Lang's life experience?"
"I once heard my uncle say that the prince of Changping County was naturalized from a foreign country, and his relatives in the family have been persecuted, and he is the only one left."
Brother Liu Xian sneered and said: "These two people, the woman Kefu is young and widowed, the man's six relatives are cut off, and there is only one person left in the whole clan, and the heavens and the earth are destroyed, isn't it a perfect match?" ”
"Poof"
Brother Wang squirted: "Who is so bad?" So so"
Liu Xiandi said with a smile: "Although it is a loss, but it can't help but say that it is appropriate, right?" ”
Brother Wang laughed again and again: "It's really appropriate!" Who said this? ”
"I don't know! The younger brother also heard about it during a spring outing some time ago. ”
"Ouch, it seems that the foolish brother should also come out and walk around more in the future, otherwise, he will miss many interesting stories in Beijing!"
"Exactly, without Brother Wang, it's much more boring to go out and play."
Next, the two changed the topic, and discussed which one in Pingkangfang knew that the song sang well, and which one knew that the taste on the couch was more moving, and the words were quite unbearable.
Xue Lang sat quietly, the store brought the dishes, and ate quietly, and he was not in a hurry to leave after eating, and when he heard that the two boys next to him were also leaving, he got up and walked out of the seat, and he didn't leave, he stood at the door of the seat, and saw the two boys next door coming out, so he smiled at the person, and deliberately arched his hand, and then turned around and left.
One of the two boys obviously knew him, and when he met him head-on, his face turned white with fright, and he was a little drunk, but he woke up directly. The other person was drunk and hazy, and seeing that he was not leaving, he asked puzzledly, "Brother Wang, why are you so panicked?" ”
The young man who was called Brother Wang cried and pointed at Brother Liu Xian: "I was miserable by you today!" Do you know who came out of the next seat? ”
Brother Liu Xian turned his head to look at Xue Lang's back, and said with a smile: "I don't know! Could it be that Brother Wang knows? That's Langjun of the He family, so handsome, his demeanor and demeanor are heartbreaking, if Brother Wang knows, why don't you introduce the younger brother to him? ”
The expression on Brother Wang's face was even more bitter, and even his mouth was filled with bitterness: "That one just now was the prince of Changping County." ”
"Changping County Prince?! Who's poof! ”
Brother Liu Xian finally reacted, and the wine also woke up: "Just now he was one of the Heavenly Jedi Annihilation? ”
"Bang"
Brother Wang finally couldn't help but make a move, gave Brother Liu Xian a head on it, and said with a wry smile: "I was miserable by you today!" People talk about people behind their backs, and they are heard! Alas, take care of your brother, for my brother to go back and receive the punishment! ”
"Hey, Brother Wang, wait for me!"
The two went downstairs one after another.
