Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 12

While Lady Liu was chatting with Xue Lang, Princess Pingyang picked up the dagger, opened the scabbard, and took out the dagger——

The dagger was thrown aside after looking at it, but the scabbard got her attention: "The material of this scabbard is quite strange, I don't know what it is? It seems to be the same material as the baggage carried by Youyang, it seems to be a kind of cloth?"

Being called Youyang was a little hard to react for a while, heck, I have been called Xue Lang for a long time, and suddenly changed to a new name, I couldn't react all of a sudden.

However, Your Highness, shouldn't the focus be on the saber?Why are you paying attention to the scabbard!Also, she still remembers the style of his backpack. This princess is probably the careful and memorized type.

Sensing Her Royal Highness's attention, Xue Lang quickly came back to his senses, and replied: "This is a material called chemical fiber, which is an item made by chemical technology. Because I have never dabbled in the principle, the students don't quite understand it."

Princess Pingyang nodded, seeming to be somewhat regretful: "This kind of material is quite strong, and it should be very versatile."

Seeing that Xue Lang couldn't understand how the scabbard was made, Princess Pingyang turned her attention to the dagger. Xue Lang had to explain the function of the saber again.

Only then did Princess Pingyang show a different expression, she seemed to be paying more attention to it, she lightly touched the blade with her finger, and praised: "It's exquisitely made, it's a good knife. So, I will accept it with a smile."

"As long as the general likes it."

Xue Lang answered plainly and sincerely, and it is naturally excellent that the gift he gives can be liked by the recipient.

Princess Pingyang seemed to be interested in the gift from Xue Lang, so she asked someone to bring the gift list, looked at what was written on the gift list, and asked, "What is this chocolate?"

"It is a kind of food. It is extracted from a fruit called cocoa. It is excellent for replenishing physical strength. It can solve many urgent needs when you travel long distances. It is a pity that cocoa can only be grown in very few places. I I'm afraid Huaxia won't succeed, and the students didn't bring their seeds back."

Hearing that it was food, Princess Pingyang didn't have any regrets. She just asked someone to bring the gift box directly, opened the gift box, saw the transparent fresh-keeping bag, and asked curiously.

Xue Lang naturally told that this is a chemical product, and there is no manufacturing process or raw materials.Princess Pingyang didn't think much of herself, and carefully opened the bag: "What is chocolate?"

"it is this!"

Princess Pingyang took out a piece, took a sip elegantly, and nodded slightly: "The taste is quite wonderful, with a special strong fragrance, bitter and sweet, sweet but not greasy, bitter but not astringent, very delicious."

After speaking, he handed a piece to Miss Liu, who also received the same praise from Miss Liu.

Xue Lang didn't eat, there wasn't much left, he was used to eating, just leave it to the two girls who have never eaten before.

After eating the chocolate, she took the handkerchief from Miss Liu to wipe her palms, and Princess Pingyang suddenly asked, "Youyang, would you like to become an official?"

This time I called You Yang, but the core of the problem made Xue Lang froze for a moment——

Princess Pingyang is a princess with real power. She holds the military power in her hand, and she is a princess who has opened a mansion and can set up officials.So, is this asking if he is willing to serve as an official in the Princess Mansion?
Xue Lang hesitated.He who traveled across time knew that according to historical records, Princess Pingyang died next year, but the history only records that she was buried with military ceremonies when she died, but there is no record of the cause of death.

China's history has always been a bit of "boy preference", and there are many outstanding women in history, but there are only a few words about them, and there are almost no detailed records.

There is no character, character, etc., even if it is the only female emperor in the future, Zetian Dasheng, most of the negative records are about her appointing cruel officials, persecuting her parents and children, etc., but there are very few positive records.

Is it because all the history writers are men?
"Youyang."

Princess Pingyang called him.Xue Lang's rare old face flushed, he had committed the problem of divergent thinking of nerds again, I hope Her Royal Highness didn't see it.

Princess Pingyang didn't know if she noticed it, but said slowly: "It's not easy to live in Chang'an. Youyang is talented, so it's not difficult to survive. However, Youyang has just arrived and his foundation is weak. If you can have a half-time official, Thinking about it is better than being in vain."

To be honest, this persuasion is quite conscientious and pertinent, and it hits the nail on the head.Xue Lang was a little shaken when he heard that, should he go to Chang'an firmly, or stay in the princess mansion to serve as an official?

Xue Lang asked himself——

He wanted to help Her Royal Highness, not for anything else, but because Her Highness was his savior.

According to Licorice's description of the situation when he was rescued, and the fact that his bag had not been touched when he was unconscious, Xue Lang was very grateful.

Thinking about it in his own shoes, if he was in charge and met a weird person of unknown origin, would he have the courage of Princess Pingyang to save people without searching for anything?

Not to mention the lock on the bag, the lock has always been able to guard against gentlemen, but never against villains.

Although Xue Lang sometimes talks nonsense in a serious manner, when it comes to right and wrong, he has never been a heartless, ungrateful person.When it comes to right and wrong, he pursues the principles of being a man with one heart and one heart, and the same inside and outside. After all, a person has only one face.

However, Princess Pingyang, a woman, was able to pull up a team of "robbers, criminals, businessmen, and domestic slaves" with a small amount of power in the ancient environment where men were superior to women, and she was able to manage this team well. Megatron, insight into people, and courage to employ people are not lacking at all. Wisdom and wisdom are simply standard. I have to say that Li Yuan has good genes.

It's the same kind of person, and it's not easy to be fooled at all.Xue Lang didn't want to fool her either, and said sincerely: "Youyang is naturally willing to win the general's favor. But, to tell the princess, Youyang actually doesn't know anything about formations, marching and fighting."

This honesty seemed to please Princess Pingyang, the princess nodded, and said calmly: "I know, Youyang, don't worry, I am reluctant to put a talent like Youyang on the battlefield, that's not where Youyang can make full use of his strengths." .”

Xue Lang was a little embarrassed. Could it be that Princess Pingyang already knew that he was a weak chicken?
Princess Pingyang looked confident: "This palace wants to invite Youyang to be the chief secretary of the mansion."

Registry? !
Xue Lang has heard of the official position, but he doesn't know much about what he does, so he asked cautiously: "I don't know what the job duties of the chief bookkeeper are?"

"In charge of money and food. From now on, Youyang will be in charge of the distribution and expenses of money and food in the mansion. In addition, because this palace also serves as the general of Weize Pass and has soldiers, the chief secretary of this palace will also be in charge of the army. The money and food. Does Youyang understand?"

It turned out to be the ancient finance bureau chief.

This is not difficult. Xue Lang has taught himself finance, management, mathematics and other subjects, and he thinks he is competent in managing money and food.So, he resoundingly agreed: "General, don't worry, You Yang understands."

Princess Pingyang nodded: "So, I will leave you to Youyang from now on."

Xue Lang: "Obey!"

Princess Pingyang was stunned for a moment, and Lady Liu smiled lightly: "Master Xue, you should answer."

Xue Lang was a little embarrassed.Princess Pingyang seemed to be very happy, and the expression on her face was vivid: "You don't need to mind, this is a trivial matter, and it doesn't matter. I had a good chat with Youyang today, so I can stay in the mansion for feeding."

"Princess Xie, but the student didn't come alone, and Licorice came with me..."

Before Princess Pingyang said anything, Lady Liu reminded with a chuckle: "Master Xue, don't worry, someone in the mansion will make arrangements."

Miss Liu reminded softly that the word "master book" was a little slow and heavy.Xue Lang knew it was a joke. He called himself a student, but he forgot to change his words.However, although this female official Liu is smart, from this point of view, she feels a little tricky.

The food in the princess mansion is better than that in the medical office, a bowl of corn rice, a bowl of stewed rabbit meat with dried radish and vegetables, and a plate of roast mutton.Xue Lang's mouth has almost faded these days. He was very happy to see the roasted lamb. When he tasted it, he actually put pepper in his mouth. It was more delicious than expected, and the heat was well controlled, and it was roasted very tender.

Before moving the chopsticks, Princess Pingyang said: "This rabbit meat is sent by Licorice from Youyang every day. I heard that it was hunted by the four spirit dogs?"

Spirit dog... Thinking of Baozi's second-hand appearance, Xue Lang has only one thought——

Give me a break!

However, Xue Lang was quite happy to hear Baozi and the others being praised: "Thank you Princess for the compliment. Baozi and the others are only smarter than ordinary dogs, so they are not considered spiritual dogs. In addition, thanks to the princess for their rescue, it is not a big deal to give them some food."

"steamed stuffed bun?!"

Her Royal Highness' eyes fluttered.Xue Langte introduced honestly: "Yes, my dogs are named Baozi, Mantou, Soybean Milk, and Youtiao respectively."

"puff!"

This is Ms. Liu who sprayed, with a weird expression!
Her Royal Highness the Princess obviously had higher skills, so she just looked at Xue Lang with a half-smile.Xue Lang reacted belatedly, well, the difference in aesthetics is so sad!
Ms. Liu smiled and said, "Steamed buns, steamed buns, and soy milk can be eaten as soon as you hear them, and fried dough sticks are..."

Xue Lang simply said: "It's all for food!"

Miss Liu laughed out loud, and Xue Lang was unmoved. In terms of aesthetics, he might be able to sing a song——

I think I will always be alone, so lonely all my life!
Enough!
