Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 199
Xue Lang hurried forward a few steps and saluted first:
"Chen Xue Lang has seen His Royal Highness Princess Pingyang of An Guo, and his subordinates were ordered to go to Beijing to offer auspicious blessings on behalf of His Royal Highness. Fortunately, he did not disgrace his order and returned to His Royal Highness."

Princess Pingyang looked at Xue Lang calmly, took three steps forward, helped Xue Lang up, and said: "Youyang is free, you have done a good job this trip, I am very satisfied!"

There was a big smile on Xue Lang's face, and there was a kind of empathetic excitement after "a primary school student was praised by the teacher".However, I am very happy!

A faint smile appeared on Princess Pingyang's lips, and she said: "Youyang has completed the mission perfectly and returned home with honor, I am very happy, thank you for your hard work!"

Xue Lang smiled and shook his head: "It's not hard!"

In any case, he also has the title of a county duke, squeezed into the ranks of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, and is no longer a commoner.This is a qualitative leap for Xue Lang.

Princess Pingyang seemed to have seen through his thoughts, although the expression on her face remained unchanged, the smile in her eyes deepened a bit, and she said: "Everyone also come with me to welcome Youyang, I wish Youyang the honor of being promoted to Duke."

Xue Lang hurriedly cupped his fists and said: "Thank you all for coming to welcome Xue Lang, Xue Lang will remember your kindness!"

Everyone smiled and cupped their fists in return.Among the welcoming crowd, Xue Lang saw Lady Liu, Ye Qing, and Su Han... This kid tried his best to look behind him with his height, was he looking for Xiu Niang? !

Fuck!To be friends with him!He eats and drinks at his house every day, and when he comes back, he doesn't say it's hard to talk to him, but he is actually busy looking for Xiu Niang——

On the human nature of foodies!
All friends!Must be friends!
Xue Lang complained in his heart, his face was busy thanking the officials who congratulated him.People still call him Xue Jianyi, but they don't let people mention his status as the county magistrate.As always, humble and prudent.

Princess Pingyang said: "Youyang has had a hard journey all the way, and I will go back to the mansion first. I have prepared a banquet in the mansion. One is to welcome the wind and dust for Youyang, and the other is to celebrate Youyang's return. Please!"

"Your Highness, please!"

Princess Pingyang turned around first, got into her chariot first, and headed home.Lady Liu accompanied the princess, before getting into the car, she took a special look at Xue Lang and hummed softly.

Princess Pingyang looked amused and asked, "Why is Ah Liu so angry?"

Lady Officer Liu sighed, "This subordinate is not angry, but sighs. He is so angry that he can't fight. How come Xue Zhiyi and Xue Jungong have been around Chang'an, but he still hasn't made any progress?"

Princess Pingyang laughed, and said: "Doesn't this mean that Youyang is not a fickle person, even if he was promoted to the Duke of the county, he would not change his true colors and not forget his roots, isn't it an advantage?"

Lady Liu choked and sighed, "Your Highness is right."

Ten miles away is still within the range of the military village, and people from the nearby military villages are standing all over the roadside, watching the procession with smiles on their faces.There are those who are bold, who know Xue Lang's kind temper, and shout loudly: "Congratulations to Xue Zhiyi on his return! Welcome Xue Zhiyi back!"

Xue Lang lifted the curtain of the carriage with a smile, cupped his fists to express his gratitude to the onlookers.Provoking even louder congratulations from the onlookers, Xue Lang had no choice but to cup his fists to express his gratitude.

Princess Pingyang naturally heard the commotion outside, and remembered the letter sent by the King of Qin, and said: "I have also persuaded Youyang before. Youyang has both talents and virtues. Although he is not good at communication, he is humble and kind. , the villain is afraid of power. The world is not full of gentlemen, I am afraid that young men have more virtue but not enough prestige, and naturally there is no problem with a gentleman, but with a villain, I am afraid of being bullied by a villain."

Lady Liu agreed: "His Royal Highness has already told Xue Lang? This subordinate sees that Xue Lang didn't listen to it. What a lump of elm!"

Princess Pingyang smiled and said: "That was my previous thought. Now, my thought has changed."

"Why did your Highness change?"

Miss Liu asked in surprise.Princess Pingyang said: "Before Youyang entered Chang'an, I wrote a letter to the King of Qin and asked him to take care of him for a while. Youyang is a naturalized person from a foreign country. In Chang'an City, there are people whose eyes are higher than the top. With Youyang's background, I am afraid that someone will take care of you." Bullying him. A few days ago, I received a letter from the King of Qin, which said something, which made me change my mind."

"What's the matter?"

Princess Pingyang briefly explained the conflict between Xue Lang and Lu Jing.

Princess Pingyang said: "After this incident, I realized that Xue Youyang is not virtuous or mighty, but that he is lenient and doesn't like to argue with others. If he really offends his bottom line, the counterattack will be fierce and sharp. If you really don't make a move, then Hey, the shot must be hit! Once this happened, although the Lu family would not hurt the root, it would definitely hurt the muscles and bones, and damage the reputation. Families and eunuchs, reputation is the most important thing. The accumulation of several generations is what it is today. Family background. If Youyang doesn’t make a move, it’s going to be a problem, and making a move is the key point. Do you need to worry about such means and wisdom? There’s no need for it!”

Lady Liu was dumbfounded, and Princess Pingyang said: "Even if I take action on this matter, there may not be Youyang's means. Maybe it's because Youyang's growth environment, experience, and experience are different from mine, and his perspective on things is different. It is different from ordinary people. To deal with extraordinary people, you must use extraordinary methods. If you are not good at communication, then you are not good at it. Why should you be obsessed with changing him?"

Miss Liu sighed, and said: "Your Highness has a broad mind, so he can naturally accommodate extraordinary people. However, A Liu is just a little girl. Seeing Xue Lang's talent, she cherishes her talent. Xue Lang is already very good, but she can't help but always I want to make him better. Maybe it's because of the lack of people?"

Princess Pingyang took a deep look at her, and suddenly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, A Liu is already twenty-nine years old, and now that Xiao Lang has grown up, youth is fleeting, A Liu should also find a husband-in-law."

Miss Liu blushed, "Why did Your Highness suddenly say this? Before A Ji becomes an adult and His Highness recruits a son-in-law, the slave family will not consider marriage."

Princess Pingyang asked: "Even if the object is a man like Xue Youyang, don't you think about it?"

Miss Liu was taken aback for a moment, feeling her face was on fire, she couldn't help covering her face: "Don't think about it!"

Princess Pingyang said: "Ah Liu must think carefully. I know my sage Aye very well. Xue Youyang is now in the eyes of a sage. He has no parents, no relatives and friends. He is lonely. The sage will definitely refer to him about marriage. Youyang does not like young daughters, but there are many ladies in Beijing, it is not difficult to find a lady who matches Youyang. With Xue Youyang's character and appearance, if you don't start early, you will be someone else's husband-in-law if you miss it !"

Lady Liu said in embarrassment: "Since Xue Lang is so good, why didn't His Highness recruit him as a son-in-law, why bother to make fun of my servant?"

This remark was somewhat offensive, but Princess Pingyang was not angry, but said calmly: "It's just too nice, so I can't be recruited as a son-in-law."

Lady Liu was startled, and suddenly raised her head to see Princess Pingyang's expression.Princess Pingyang had a calm and peaceful look on her face, not as shy as a woman talking about her marriage.

Lady Liu felt her throat was hard: "Your Highness..."

Princess Pingyang turned her head and looked at her calmly: "A Liu can think about it carefully, if you want, I will be your matchmaker."

"What about Your Highness?"

Princess Pingyang said: "For me, there are saints here, so I can guard Weize Pass with peace of mind. If there are no saints... Go back to Chang'an and live in the Princess's mansion, go in and out, and close the door. With my merits, who would dare to treat you poorly?" I?"

Lady Liu resolutely said: "Then A Liu will accompany His Highness."

Princess Pingyang couldn't help laughing, and scolded softly: "Fool! You are still young, why waste time with me?"

After finishing speaking, a joking smile appeared on his face: "Even if I don't recruit a son-in-law, it is well deserved to raise two or three beautiful faces, so as to please the body and mind, so as not to be lonely, but Ah Liu is different. With your family's teaching, If you keep noodles, Liu Gongquan will know, I'm afraid he will scold the unworthy descendants."

Lady Liu was embarrassed and coquettish: "Your Highness!"

Princess Pingyang's laughter sounded in the carriage.
