Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 15 Settlement
Move the bag you brought with you into the backyard, and first go to see Baozi's kennel——

The kennel is facing the sun in the ear room of the inner courtyard. It is partitioned with wooden planks as high as a person, and the floor is also covered with wooden planks. The stitching is fine and neat. It is obvious that the carpenter who does this work has good craftsmanship.The environment is nice.

Mantou chose the first room, went in and smelled it, and fell down on his buttocks with a "baji". Does this mean he is satisfied?

Baozi looked purely greedy and curious, running around in the four compartments, sniffing here and there.

You Tiao chose the next door to Mantou by himself, and faithfully became Mantou's younger brother.Only Soy Milk remained motionless, closely following Xue Lang, the master, and had no intention of choosing a house at all.

"Soymilk, you live in this room, and this will be your nest from now on, understand?"

Soymilk looked at the kennel that Xue Lang pointed out to it, and then at Xue Lang, looking a little pitiful.Xue Lang stroked Soymilk's dog's head. He liked dogs, but he wasn't the type who would let dogs share the bedroom.

Dogs and humans have different resistance to bacteria. For the sake of each other's hygiene and safety, and for the convenience of cleaning, it is necessary to arrange special kennels for dogs.

Get Baozi and them to the kennel, move everything into the backyard——

The bedding in the bedroom is complete; there are two study rooms, the inner study room is in the backyard, and the outer study room is in the front yard. There are some books on the bookshelves of the two study rooms, and there are still empty bookshelves for Xue Lang.

Xue Lang looked at it and said, "I will take care of the inner study, and Mo Zhu will take care of the outer study."

"Here."

Xue Lang nodded in satisfaction, carried all the bags into the inner bedroom, took out the clothes in the bag and sorted them out, and then put the bicycle accessories into the inner study——

After tidying up, Mo Zhu said back and forth: "Mr. Lang, the cook is here and asked Mr. Lang if there are any dietary taboos. It's time to cook."

Xue Lang said: "Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty, other flavors are fine except for bitter ones. In the first two days, let her pick up the ones she is good at and serve them to try. If she likes it, we will talk about it after two days."

"Here."

Mo Zhu went out to send a message to the cook.

When it was time for breakfast, Mo Zhu and Lamei worked together to sort out the clothes sent by Miss Liu, and came to ask Xue Lang: "Mr. Lang, the mansion has made clothes for you. Do you want to change them?"

Xue Lang looked at his own attire, then at the ancient costumes of ink bamboo and wintersweet, and the antique home furnishings, always feeling unreal.Maybe changing his attire and doing as the Romans do when he enters the country can help him better integrate into it?
Xue Lang wanted to make up his mind, nodded: "Change."

The two servant girls immediately stepped forward and stretched out their hands to Xue Lang's collar, Xue Lang quickly took a big step back and refused: "You put your clothes away from the inside out, and tell me how to dress, I will do it myself. "

The two little girls followed suit, and Xue Lang kicked him out after he understood. He was really embarrassed to ask the two little girls to help him change his clothes.

According to what the two maids taught, Xue Lang just put on his underwear, and then he held up his trousers and was stunned——

What about the belt?How to do this?
This is a big deal!He is a novice, so if he can't handle it properly, his pants will fall off as he walks... The picture is so beautiful, I can't even imagine it!

After making sure he was not gone, Xue Lang called Mo Zhu and La Mei to come in, with a serious face, and in the spirit of research and study, he asked modestly: "How do I fasten the waistband so that it won't fall off even if I move vigorously?"

The two girls were a little shy at first, but seeing Xue Lang's serious face, they thought they had something important to tell them, but in the end——

Lamei was dumbfounded, and Mo Zhu burst out laughing: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, and this servant will tie it for you."

With the help of Mo Zhu and Lamei, he put on the clothes. Considering the serious consequences of an unstable tie, Xue Lang even pulled his trousers a few times.

This action made the two maids laugh again.

Changed the clothes from the inside out, Lamei took the hat, and covered the cut-up——

It's done!As long as you don't speak, you are just like an ancient youth.Mo Zhu and Lamei looked at Xue Lang, their faces flushed slightly: "Mr. Lang is still a handsome gentleman."

Xue Lang looks like his mother, and has always kept a tight cut. Apart from asking himself to be clean and tidy, he has never paid attention to the problem of dressing. When he was a child, he was often praised for being cute. When he grew up, he was praised for being handsome and skin Well, it's the first time someone says he's handsome.So, is this about the importance of hair and makeup?

Mo Zhu and Lamei looked at him from head to toe several times, and Lamei suddenly slapped her palm: "Shoes! You still lack shoes, and the mansion doesn't know the size of your clothes, so you didn't prepare, so you took off your shoes and asked Let me measure it, and I and Mo Zhu will make two pairs for you."

Sports shoes and ancient costumes are nondescript, Xue Lang took off the shoes and asked them to measure them. By the way, he asked them if there were any rules and regulations about their shoes.

The ancients did not distinguish between left and right shoes, and the left and right shoes were called running shoes, which were not worn by anyone; the ancients wore right shoes, which did not distinguish between left and right.The left and right shoes must be exactly the same, like the asymmetrical color shoes that modern young hipsters like to wear. In ancient times, wearing them was considered unclean and only worn by untouchables.

"Lang Jun's socks are really unique, I have never seen this kind of fabric before."

After taking off his shoes, Xue Lang's sports socks surprised the two little maids again, and Lamei touched them.Mo Zhu said: "Lang Jun's socks are so close to the feet, the shoes should be made smaller and narrower."

After measuring the size, the two little maids immediately began to take the soles of the shoes neatly.In the spirit of "outsiders don't understand ancient customs", Xue Lang let the two little girls toss about his food and clothing.

After changing my clothes, the cook's breakfast was ready, and I asked if I would serve it.Xue Lang asked the food to be placed in the inner hall, and he was the only one to eat, with Mo Zhu and La Mei serving beside him.

As soon as Xue Lang sat down, Mo Zhu knelt down beside him, ready to serve him.Xue Lang was uncomfortable, and he was not disabled, and he was served by others when he ate.

The master ate and the servant watched. Although everyone was doing this these days, Xue Lang felt that he couldn't eat, so he simply waved his hands: "You two go out and wait outside, I will call you if I need anything."

"Lang Jun..."

"I'm such a big person, don't I know how to eat?"

"Okay, the servants are right outside the door, if you need anything, sir, just call."

Xue Lang nodded and drove the people out, finally able to eat freely.Because Xue Lang was the only one, naturally he didn't cook many dishes, stewed lamb chops with white radish, and steamed vegetarian dishes with dried vegetables, sprinkled with a layer of green plant mince, probably some kind of seasoning, the staple food was multigrain steamed buns.

Xue Lang picked up a chopstick and steamed the dried vegetables first, and it tasted spicy. It wasn't too spicy, and it didn't have the aroma of chili.

He ate half of the steamed vegetables, two bowls of lamb chop soup, and three steamed buns. Xue Lang was satisfied with the cooking skills of the cook for being able to make such a dish when there were no fresh vegetables in this season.

After eating the morning food, Xue Lang went to look at the study room prepared for him. There were some books in the study room. Xue Lang flipped through them casually. There were some miscellaneous things on the bookshelf. There are arithmetic, history books, and even Buddhist scriptures and Taoist books.

I don’t know if these books were arranged by Her Royal Highness or that tricky female official Liu. They really overestimated Xue Lang’s reading level of classical Chinese, or should I say, overestimated his knowledge?
Xue Lang felt that it was necessary to correct him.So, call Mozhu——

Xue Lang found out that Rugui gave him these four servants. The two male servants didn't have much contact with them, so it was hard to draw conclusions. The two maids, Mozhu and Lamei, could tell that Mozhu was smarter, and Lamei was more honest. .

Xue Lang can't say who he likes more, everyone has their own strengths, it doesn't mean that smart people are better to use, and honest people are clumsy, it just depends on how you use it.

"Mo Zhu, go to Miss Liu and tell me that I want a copy of "Shuowen Jiezi."

"Here."

Mo Zhu took the order and left.
