Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 106 Behind the Scenes
Keeping filial piety was a very serious matter in ancient times.In the Song Dynasty, Ding You was required to have three years, and the etiquette and customs of other dynasties, generally one year of filial piety is enough.

Since Xue Lang has become Jiang Lin's elder brother, he naturally has to plan for him!No matter what Jiang Lin does in the future, he cannot make mistakes of principle, and cannot leave such a stain of criticism.

The censor of the Tang Dynasty is not a decoration, but he doesn't know how to read ginseng performances.The character of the imperial censor of the Tang Dynasty is well-known in history.As long as you don't do it right, it doesn't matter who you are, you didn't discuss it.There used to be a minister who just ate while riding a horse on the way to work, but was dismissed by the censor, which shows the strict rules on officials' grooming.

Jiang Lindao: "My little brother came out after observing his filial piety."

"Okay! That's right. If you can't be filial to your parents, then who will dare to use you in the future! I should have asked about this matter earlier. It's my fault. I'm too young, I don't have much experience, and I don't have enough etiquette for Tang Dynasty Familiar. It seems that in the future, you and I, brothers, need to find a mature and prudent housekeeper."

Xue Lang made a self-criticism calmly.

Jiang Lindao: "How can you blame the elder brother for this matter? This is the younger brother's duty. The elder brother does not need to blame himself, otherwise, the younger brother will feel uneasy."

Xue Lang said: "Okay, neither of us need to be sad, this matter will be exposed. We will remind each other later."

"Ok!"

After talking about keeping filial piety, the two began to discuss the issue of furniture based on the drawings.Jiang Lin has no opinion on the style of the furniture at all, he can use any kind of wood, Xue Lang can make the decision, he only admires Xue Lang's design: "Brother's whimsy seems to be endless, compared with the short time of big brother In the past few days, my younger brother felt that he had studied too little and had too little knowledge!"

Quite self-motivated!

Xue Lang nodded in satisfaction, and said, "It's because I've traveled so many places and read so many books. It's not for nothing that I grow older than you."

The two talked and laughed, and settled the matter of making furniture.Xue Lang couldn't stay idle at home, so he explained to Jiang Lin, and said to He Xiang: "He Xiang, find me a hat to cover my face, I have something to see the princess."

He Xiang said: "To Dalang, the curtain and hat are women's things, but Dalang is a man, so it's not suitable."

Xue Lang was surprised: "There are men and women in hats?"

He Xiang, who was so reticent when asked this question, laughed: "It's not that hats are divided into men and women, but men and women are different. Please find a bamboo hat for Da Lang. Wear it low, so that it can cover your face without affecting your vision." , how are you?"

"Success! Go!"

"Here."

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you wear a hat or not, it's just that such a colorful face is always a bit ugly when you go out to show off in the market, so it's better to cover it up.Putting on the bamboo hat He Xiang found, Xue Lang went out.

Princess Pingyang just came back from military training, changed her armor, and was sitting at the desk reading a book to rest.I heard the maid come to report: "My lady, Mr. Xue is begging to see you."

Princess Pingyang was also surprised: "Youyang's injury healed so quickly? Please come in."

"Here!"

When Xue Lang came in, he saw the hat on Xue Lang's head, his eyes froze, his palms were lightly clenched, the expression on his face remained unchanged, the smile lines at the corners of his mouth remained motionless, and he asked with concern: "Is You Yang better?"

Princess Pingyang has seen Xue Lang's injured appearance before, so naturally she doesn't need to wear a bamboo hat in front of her. She took off the bamboo hat, revealing her head covered with a hood, and her bruised face: "I've seen Your Highness, it's much better, but there are still some bruises. Qing, I'm already fine."

Princess Pingyang nodded, and looked carefully at the bruises on Xue Lang's face. Sure enough, the bruises were much lighter and the area of ​​the bruises was also smaller, but the skin of the wounds was a little yellow, which is normal.

Princess Pingyang said: "Why doesn't Youyang rest at home?"

Xue Lang smiled embarrassedly: "I have given Wan Siming to do the farm affairs, and I am in charge of supervision. I am here today not for official business, but for private matters. The subordinates are not familiar with Datang enough and have little knowledge, so Come to ask His Highness for advice, and ask His Highness for advice."

Princess Pingyang asked: "What's the matter?"

Xue Lang quickly took out the furniture plan: "I want to borrow two carpenters from His Highness to make some furniture."

Naturally, the craftsmen in the mansion are better, no matter the craftsmanship or knowledge, they are not comparable to the craftsmen outside.These days, the superior resources are in the hands of the gentry, and the masters are in the hands of the people... It is not applicable in the ancient feudal society.

"It's such a trivial matter, but! I'll let Rugui arrange it for you."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Princess Pingyang waved her hand, and said like gossiping: "You Yang, would you like to know the details of the person who blocked you and beat you?"

Xue Lang said indifferently: "I wanted to know before, but now it doesn't matter."

"Why?"

Xue Lang said: "I have only been in Datang for less than two months, and there is almost no one who has any enmity with me. The subordinate is a kind person, this is first; second, everything must have a purpose. It is neither for me. Little life, I just asked someone to beat me up to vent my anger, so the range of candidates is even narrower...Your Highness, do you want me to continue?"

Princess Pingyang shook her head: "I knew I couldn't hide Youyang, but fortunately, I don't plan to hide Youyang either."

After a pause, he said, "This matter was ordered by King Qi."

"King Qi? You didn't have any contact with him. Why do you want to beat me up so you can understand your thoughts?"

Xue Lang still remembered that he didn't know the relationship between the crown prince and King Qi——

On the harm of lying!It's really troublesome to make up a history, and you have to keep it in mind at all times!

Princess Pingyang said: "The crown prince, the king of Qin, and the king of Qi are all compatriots with me, but in terms of relationship, the crown prince is closer to the king of Qi, and I am closer to the king of Qin and Xuanba who died young. In those years, I A Niang is in poor health, and I took care of both Shimin and Xuanba. Unfortunately, Xuanba was born weak and died young, and only Shimin grew up. King Qi is naturally speculative and violent towards his subordinates. Prince, Youyang refuted the prince's face, it is normal for him to stand up for the prince, but the prince is getting worse!"

Xue Lang was not easy to answer, so he had to keep silent.

Princess Pingyang didn't mind Xue Lang's silence, and said: "Brother Jiancheng is certainly lacking in talent, but he is a loyal person. Now, he is so at a loss that he doesn't even have the advantage of loyalty!"

People will react in various ways under great pressure. Presumably, Li Shimin puts more and more pressure on Li Jiancheng.

Princess Pingyang snorted suddenly, Xue Lang raised his head, but saw Princess Pingyang took out a letter from the sleeve and handed it to him, Xue Lang took it over and looked at it, but he was saying that the prince was built to please the saint's harem and favored concubines. thing.

Prince Jiancheng and Princess Pingyang have the same mother, and their mother is the original concubine of the sage Li Yuan, Empress Dou.Li Jiancheng, as the eldest son of his original partner, the dignified prince, actually went to please his father's concubine... Xue Lang didn't dare to think about it anymore, no wonder the city of Princess Pingyang was also angry like this.
