Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 118

Xue Lang said: "My subordinates have heard that fine clothes made of raw silk can't even be pierced by arrows. Even if they are wounded, the arrows will be shot into the wound together with the clothes. Bringing it out will greatly increase the chance of healing."

Legend has it that the Mongolian iron cavalry across Eurasia would put on a silk garment woven with raw silk before each battle. This kind of clothing is difficult to be pierced by arrows. When a soldier is shot by an arrow, he will only insert the arrow and the clothes together. Into the wound, the doctor only needs to pull out the clothes when treating the wound, and the clothes can be pulled out together with the arrow, which greatly reduces the casualties of the Mongolian cavalry.

Xue Lang didn't know what kind of catastrophe Princess Pingyang would encounter, so he could only do his best to remind Her Highness to take precautions and prepare adequately so that the chances of surviving the catastrophe of life and death would be greater.

Princess Pingyang looked at Xue Lang's eyes rather strangely, but the expression disappeared in a blink of an eye, and then returned to her usual calm appearance, and asked, "How could Youyang think of this?"

Naturally, Xue Lang could not tell the princess that it was to protect her life, so he could only say: "Watching the martial arts show today, the soldiers are mighty and strong, hardworking and hardworking. Behind each soldier, it represents a family. responsibility, but I still hope that the soldiers can return safely.”

Princess Pingyang said with relief: "The heart of a benevolent person is nothing more than that. Youyang has a heart, and I will arrange for someone to do it."

Xue Lang said sincerely: "For the sake of cost, I don't need to make a robe for the whole body. I just need to make the length of the short brown jacket to protect the vitals. As a subject, I implore Your Highness to wear this robe as well, to take care of your body." "

Seeing Xue Lang's sincerity, Princess Pingyang seemed moved, and agreed, "Yes."

Xue Lang still didn't feel relieved: "It's best to find a weaver with high weaving skills, and weave several layers carefully and densely. The safer the better, the neckline is best to be a round neck gown, and the style should be woven in a short brown style. The jacket and pants can be worn separately to protect the body to the greatest extent."

After the instructions, he seemed worried, pulled a piece of paper, and wanted to draw the pattern.Her Royal Highness remained silent and drank tea by herself, but Chuxue coughed and reminded: "Xue Zhiyi, the style you mentioned is already understood by servants, so there is no need to draw it."

Only when Chu Xue interrupted him did Xue Lang realize that Princess Pingyang is a lady, and he is a man and a subordinate, so how could he design clothes for Her Highness?Overstepped!
Xue Lang was full of discomfort, and quickly bowed his head and cupped his fists to apologize: "It's my subordinate who was rude, please punish me, Your Highness."

Princess Pingyang put down the tea bowl, waved her hands, and said: "Youyang also came out of a public heart, it's not just frivolity, it's okay."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your innocence."

Unintentionally making such a fuss, Xue Lang was too embarrassed to sit down, so he hurriedly left.Her Royal Highness was able to hold her breath, her expression was calm, An Ran saw Xue Lang bowing out, without showing any embarrassment.

In this way, Xue Lang felt much more relaxed.

After returning to Tingfeng Courtyard after giving thanks, He Xiang has already sorted out the rewards from Her Highness the Princess and compiled them into a book.Except for official robes, official boots, belts and other things, the gold, silver and jewels given by the princess are of excellent quality, and there are no marks on them.In other words, Xue Lang can take it out and sell it for silver coins.

But all rewards generally have built-in marks, and they cannot be resold privately, and it is illegal to resell them.Xue Lang's foundation is weak, and he was almost alone after he arrived in Tang Dynasty. The things that Her Royal Highness rewarded were at the right time, and they were much more practical than the fields and houses bestowed by the crown prince.

Xue Lang is a single man who lives in the mansion and works with Princess Pingyang in Weizeguan. It is not appropriate to send him a mansion due to Xue Lang's current situation. Unless Xue Lang has already worked in Beijing, the mansion will be handled It's not convenient, he doesn't even have a manager who can manage.

The reward from Princess Pingyang stuck in Xue Lang's heart even more. This kind of reward can be used by himself or distributed to Jiang Lin.Women are indeed more thoughtful than men.

The first day of May is over, but only a few days is the fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.Except for those on duty, everyone in Weize Pass has a day off.

A few days earlier, Xue Lang told Ah Chen to prepare things for the festival. The day before, he picked zongzi leaves and soaked them in water. When he got up early the next morning, everyone made zongzi together. There happened to be the glutinous rice bought by Xiumu last time——

No wonder you can buy glutinous rice in the grain store. It turns out that it is almost the Dragon Boat Festival!
Xiu Niang made bean paste early, obviously, Xiu Niang is a sweet party.Xue Lang is a firm believer in eating zongzi.

Take down a piece of hanging bacon, fat and thin, this is for making bacon dumplings; there is also fresh pork belly, which was specially harvested at the farm; and salted duck eggs that have been marinated for nearly a month.

All the servants in the yard were dumbfounded when they looked at these materials.Jiang Lin was also confused: "Brother, can this meat dumpling be eaten?"

Another sweet party!Rebellious!So is this a story of the salty party at the sweet party's stronghold?
Xue Lang said solemnly: "Of course you have to eat salty rice dumplings. Sweet bean curd and salty rice dumplings have been like this since ancient times."

Jiang Lin was dumbfounded: "Since ancient times... Is this really the case? It seems that the younger brother reads few books, which book did the eldest brother read?"

Xue Lang: "..."

Life is really lonely as snow.This feeling is like - facing a group of sweet people, as the only salty person, originally planned to fight for [-] pages with enthusiasm, but the sweet people didn't even talk to each other.

Life, how can a loneliness be described!

Xue Lang suddenly lost interest, waved his hand and said: "I bought a lot of glutinous rice, everyone pack it according to your own taste, make a few more, and wrap up all the ingredients. If you don't eat salty rice, wrap a few less .”

Seeing Xue Lang's sudden arrival, Jiang Lin thoughtfully said: "Big brother is used to eating salty food, why don't you pack more and give it to the neighbors and the princess to try?"

yes!He can develop and grow the salty party!

Xue Lang nodded, feeling excited, and joined everyone, forming a circle in the courtyard, making zongzi lively together.Because there are many people making rice dumplings by hand, it only takes two or three minutes to wrap all the prepared materials. Let Xiu Niang cook them, and Xue Lang asks people to set up a stove in the courtyard and bring a pot to prepare the tea leaves. Egg.

Xue Lang became interested, so he took Wanfu and Changjian out, picked some leaves and petals, and asked Xiuniang for a piece of rough sackcloth, cut it into small pieces, pasted the leaves on the eggs, wrapped them stand up.

Put it in a pot and cook it together with the seasoning, and then remove the gauze, leaves and petals, and the pattern of leaves and petals will be printed on the egg shell, which looks interesting and cute.

This is learned from Xue Qing, little girls like to play with these things, very simple but interesting things.He Xiang and La Mei like it very much, and they are reluctant to eat the eggs that Xue Lang gave them.

Xue Lang laughed and said: "Dragon Boat Festival must eat rice dumplings and eggs, but unfortunately there is no Wujiajiu."

Thinking of Wujiajiu, Xue Lang asked to boil all the rice dumplings and eggs, put some rice dumplings and eggs in a basket, and went to the medical office to visit.
