Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 174 Settlement
"What's wrong, big brother?"

Seeing Xue Lang's complicated expression, Jiang Lin asked with concern.Xue Lang worked hard to calm his mind, and said: "It's nothing, I just got annoyed by that brat's rude words just now!"

Princess Pingyang doesn’t have a son-in-law. As a man and a subordinate, it’s not easy to ask in detail. If you ask too much, in case others think he has other ideas... If it hurts the reputation of Her Highness the Princess, then What should he do?
In ancient times, there were not only women, but also men. Fame was very important, especially for women.Xue Lang respects and loves Princess Pingyang, and doesn't want to cause trouble for Princess Pingyang because of himself.

And bear with it, wait for a chance to talk.However, Xue Lang thought carefully about what he said and did after he arrived at Weize Pass, and he felt that it still made sense logically, so there shouldn't be anything exposed, right?Feeling a little guilty is swollen!

After such an episode, I was not interested in eating anymore. After eating hastily, they all went back to the house, and then Chang Jian accompanied He Xiang and took people out to go shopping——

I want to spend the night in the mansion tonight, the beds are all on the floor, but there is no bedding.Thanks to the prosperity of Dongshi, as long as you have money, there is almost nothing you can't buy.

When buying household items, it is natural for women to come and be careful.If a man comes, it is basically certain that something will be missed.

The sage rewarded thousands of coins, just to spend——

The things bestowed by the sages, except gold and silver wares with built-in markings, cannot be circulated or sold, but the cloth and coins rewarded are not hindered.Otherwise, given Xue Lang's poverty, he might have to sell the hidden glass products in order to buy things in the house.Of course, now that he has money, Xue Lang doesn't want to sell things, and keeping them is also a thought.

Just before the curfew, the store delivered the things, and the guards made their own bedding, and Xue Lang's was naturally taken over by Hexiang.Xue Lang called Xiuniang over and asked her: "Tomorrow, I will go to the palace to cook for the saint. The dishes to be prepared have been reported yesterday. Except for potatoes and sweet potatoes, everything else will be prepared by the palace. Tomorrow, you don't have to Just keep your hands and feet shy and follow the rules and etiquette taught by the servant. If someone finds fault... just take the truth and shoot it back! We don't have to worry about anyone!"

Xiu Niang, who was a little nervous at first, laughed, and responded loudly: "Here! Please don't worry Da Lang, slaves will save it."

Xue Lang nodded, and said: "You came out of Princess Pingyang's residence. Speaking of etiquette and rules, you naturally have them, so you don't have to put too much pressure on them, just follow the usual routine."

"Here!"

"Anyway, the saint has never eaten potatoes or sweet potatoes. Even if they are not as good as usual, it's okay, as long as they can be eaten."

That's what I said!Xiu Niang laughed directly: "Thank you Dalang for comforting the servant, the servant will save it."

Xue Lang didn't put pressure on her either. In fact, he was telling the truth. Anyway, the saint had never eaten sweet potatoes or potatoes. Even if Xiuniang was too nervous to perform normally, he would not be able to taste it.

Xue Lang didn't hold a specific position in the court, he received a loose official title, and he didn't have to go to the court at all unless he was ordered.Get up at the usual time, wash up——

The Fuchu had just moved in, and everything was not ready yet, so naturally the fire could not be turned on for cooking.The meals for the [-] handymen were all bought by Xue Lang for them.

As soon as Xue Lang got up early in the morning, Chang Jian came to report: "Report to Da Lang, the servant is here."

"Come in quickly."

Rugui brought a group of people and several carriages.The carriages were filled with commonly used items, and there was even a carriage filled with all kinds of vegetables, both fresh and dried; there was even half a fan of pork.There is no need to send food, the sage has given food, and it was delivered yesterday.

Xue Lang looked at it with a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, the servant, you really solved my urgent need. You are so thoughtful, how can Xue Lang repay you?"

Rugui said: "Why should Xue Jianyi be polite? This is what slaves and servants should do. When the servants came to Beijing, His Highness had ordered them to take good care of Xue Consultants. When Xue Consultants first came to Chang'an, if If you need anything, you can tell the servants to do it."

Xue Lang laughed and said, "I won't be polite to the servant."

Rugui is really thoughtful. In addition to delivering vegetables, there are everything such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as a lot of pots and pans. He even pulled two carts of wood and sent craftsmen over to listen to Xue Lang ordered to make some furniture that Xue Lang liked and was used to.

Xue Lang was not polite, and directly left the craftsmen behind, and asked them to make a few beds and stools first, and wait for him to come back and draw pictures for the rest of the more delicate furniture.

With the ingredients Rugui sent, Xiuniang diligently cooked a pot of porridge and steamed a basket of pork buns. As soon as Xue Lang ate one, someone from the palace came.

The dishes had already been delivered to the palace yesterday, Xue Lang called Shang Xiuniang, and followed the visitor directly into the palace——

The Shangshi Bureau, which is in charge of the saint's meals, belongs to the Dianzhong Province. Because they are all palace people, it is difficult for Xue Lang to go there. When he arrives at Chengtianmen, the palace people will take Xiuniang away.

Xue Lang didn't want to talk any more, but he gave Xiu Niang a comforting glance. Xiu Niang greeted Xue Lang and was about to leave when Xue Lang suddenly remembered and shouted: "This servant, my Xiu Niang has little knowledge, please Take care."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of suet jade from the purse at his waist and handed it over.The servant backed back again and again, but he didn't dare to take it: "I don't dare, the sage has already ordered me to intervene in this matter, and no one will dare to embarrass the cook of your house. Please be careful."

Xue Lang heard that it was similar to what he expected, so he took the jade pendant, bowed his hands to the servant politely and said: "Since that's the case, then I won't make things difficult for the servant, please."

"Slaves dare not, Duke Xue please."

When Xue Lang walked away, the servant still had a flattered expression on his face, and said to Xiu Niang: "Mr. Xue is really kind, and he doesn't have the slightest air of superiority. None of the slaves have ever studied. I think the gentleman is talking about people like Mr. Xue, right?"

Xiu Niang went to the servant to bless her, and said: "Thank you for the servant's praise of my master."

The extra words, but not half a sentence.The servant shook his head with a smile, and led Xiuniang to Shangshi Bureau.

Xue Lang went directly to the Linde Hall under the leadership of the servant.Going in, not only the sage is there, but also the prince, Qin Wang, and Qi Wang are all there.

"The humble minister Xue Lang sees the saint, and the saint is blessed."

"Xue Qing's family is here, give me a seat."

The saint was very interested, seeing Xue Lang coming in, he still had a smile on his face, and asked: "I heard from the people in the posthouse that the Qing family has moved into the mansion yesterday?"

Xue Lang said: "Back to the sage, the post house is quite far from the inner city, and I have limited time in Beijing, and Weize Pass is busy, so I can settle everything in Chang'an as soon as possible, so that I can return to Weize Pass as soon as possible."

Li Yuan said approvingly: "The Qing family really makes things happen. My son wanted to come to Pingyang because he liked the advantages of the Qing family, so he entrusted the Qing family with a heavy responsibility."

Xue Lang hastily said: "The sage has won the award, but the humble minister is ashamed. It's just that he is stupid, and the stupid bird flies first. Her Royal Highness Princess Meng values ​​it and entrusts him with a heavy responsibility. Naturally, he should work hard and do his best."

"it is good!"

Li Yuan praised Xue Lang, and looked satisfied with Xue Lang's eyes: "The Qing family has such a heart, so why worry about things not being done?"

Xue Lang said: "I don't dare to be a saint to be praised like this. In order to avoid being ashamed and fleeing, I implore the saint to change the topic!"

Li Yuan was taken aback for a moment——

Xue Lang was probably the first one to do this. In order to prevent the saint from praising him all the time, he actually asked the saint to change the subject!
