Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 241 Winter Moon Arrives

Jiang Lin is back!
The Turks were probably frightened by the First World War, or maybe it was getting colder and colder, so they never came to knock on the gate.In cold weather, calories are consumed quickly. Because there is not enough heat supply, the training in the barracks has also been reduced.

Many of the fat pigs kept in the farm were killed during the extra training to prepare for the war. Now there are only five pigs left, two of which are still sows, and they are ready to give birth in spring.So, strictly speaking, there are only three heads left!
Because of the overtime work during the war, in fact, there is not much to do now when I come to take inventory. The weather is cold, and Xue Lang is free. Poor Doctor Su still needs to continue to be busy, not only the soldiers have to take care of, but also the military family members in the nearby military base. Hey guys, I have a cold, and I like to come to Su Han for medical treatment.Su Han is already a well-known young doctor with a good reputation in Weize Pass.

Xue Lang was free, and Jiang Lin was also free, Jiang Lin said: "In a few days, it will be the midwinter season, and there will be winter hunting at that time, hunting around for a few days, and the hunting can well supplement the army rations."

Very good!Three fat pigs can be saved!

Xue Lang patted Jiang Lin's shoulder and said, "How much prey our family can harvest depends on you and Baozi. I can't count on you, big brother."

Jiang Lin licked his lips and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will leave everything to my younger brother. Wait for my younger brother to go around the mountains and catch a black bear that has spent the winter. The bear's paw cooked by Hengyu is really memorable."

Xue Lang nodded in agreement: "Su Hengyu's bear meat is also pretty good. It's good to take one back and eat it slowly while the weather is cold."

The two brothers couldn't help swallowing when they thought of the bear meat feast Su Han cooked.

Having nothing to do in winter, Xue Lang saw that there was still some cut paper left, so he couldn't help but draw two more flipbooks, one of which was Baozi chasing rabbits; the other was His Royal Highness standing under a pear tree watching The look of the flower.

The petals fell gently with the majesty, and Her Highness the Princess stood under the tree in spring clothes, with a beautiful posture.Xue Lang colorized it in a very boring way.

After finishing the painting, I asked Lamei to send it to Her Royal Highness, and the reply I got was still the same as last time. I only said that I like it very much, thank you Xue Lang.Although there are only a few figures and the words are similar, Xue Lang himself is very happy to draw.

"Xue Advisory!"

Not a while after Lamei came back, Miss Mu Xue who was next to His Highness the Princess came, with a bouquet of fresh plum blossoms in her arms, Mu Xue said: "Xue Zhiyi, our lady said that winter is cold and everything withers, only the plum blossoms in the courtyard It is blooming brightly. There are no plum blossoms in Tingfeng courtyard. As a woman, it is inconvenient for the lady to invite Xue Ziyi into the courtyard to enjoy the plum blossoms. The special servants cut off a few branches and presented them to Xue Ziyi to put them in vases. Beautiful red plum."

Xue Lang hurriedly said: "Xue Lang thanked Your Highness."

After thanking her, Mu Xue actually gave all the plum blossoms in her bosom to Lamei who came up to pick them up, and then left empty-handed.

Xue Lang directly instructed Lamei: "I remember that there is a white jade vase in the warehouse, which is just right for putting red plums in. Go and fetch Lamei."

"Here."

Lamei fetched a white jade vase, Xue Lang took the scissors, cut the flower branches and inserted the vase himself.Although he has never learned flower arranging, as a person who studied painting, simply arranging flowers is not difficult for him.

After plugging it in and looking at it carefully, Jiang Lin came in full of steam: "Brother, where did this red plum come from? It blooms so beautifully!"

Xue Lang looked at it and replied: "His Royal Highness rewarded it."

"It turned out to be a gift from the general. Brother, why don't you share a branch with me and put it in your room?"

Jiang Lin came up to smell it, and demanded.Xue Lang refused without even thinking about it: "There are only a few branches like this, it would be ugly to put them separately! Besides, I plan to put them in the study, not in the bedroom. There is incense in the bedroom, and it would be bad if mixed with the aroma of plum blossoms."

Jiang Lin thought about it, nodded and said, "That's fine, then I don't want the younger brother."

Xue Lang nodded in satisfaction, and asked Jiang Lin: "What do you think of the flower arrangement, big brother?"

Jiang Lin took a closer look, nodded and praised: "Not bad, it's really beautiful!"

Xue Lang smiled contentedly, and without ordering Lamei and Dongzhi, he picked up the vase and put it directly in the inner study!Jiang Lin blinked, thinking that the eldest brother was going to be released from the study, but he actually moved to the study.

The time has entered November in such a leisurely way, the midwinter season.A heavy snowfall fell, and overnight, the world seemed to turn white.

In such weather, there is also good news!Prince Jiancheng conquered Liu Heita and won a great victory. Liu Heita led hundreds of remnants and fled northward. When he fled to Raoyang, he was arrested by his deployment and Raozhou Inspector Zhuge Dewei. Liu Heita was flattened!

On the day when the news of Prince Dasheng Liu Heita's arrival came, Princess Pingyang supported her sick body, wrapped in a thick fur, and convened a meeting with her staff in the main hall.

It is probably because the illness has not recovered and the energy is difficult to continue. This time Princess Pingyang only called Han Jin, Xue Lang, Liu Nuguan, Ye Qing, Ma Sanbao and Dong Sima.

Princess Pingyang said: "The crown prince has won a big victory against Liu Heita. It is not easy to march in winter. It is a good thing to end the war. However, fighting is not only about defeating the enemy. The prince still needs to go out for some time to appease the hearts of the gentry people in various places. We only need to do a good job in the task of defending against the Turks at Weize Pass."

"Here."

Everyone responded.Princess Pingyang said again: "In the middle of winter, the winter hunt is coming soon. However, I am seriously injured and cannot lead the army. Therefore, Ye Qing, you are in charge of this winter hunt."

Ye Qing still had a cool and handsome face, and replied: "Here."

Only Dong Sima's face changed, but he didn't dare to say anything when he looked at Princess Pingyang.Princess Pingyang pretended not to see the change in Dong Sima's face, and said calmly: "Because of my injury, the Princess House will no longer participate in this winter hunting."

Dong Sima couldn't help it anymore: "Your Highness, what about the general?"

Princess Pingyang said indifferently: "You are the Sima in my mansion, leading the soldiers in the mansion. You naturally obey my order and give up this winter hunting. What's the matter? Dong Sima is not willing?"

As he said that, he stared straight at Dong Xian with eyes as deep and calm as the deep sea, Dong Xian was startled, and hurriedly said respectfully: "The final general dare not, since His Highness's recovery is the most important thing, the final general will definitely strictly restrain and deploy. "

Princess Pingyang nodded lightly, and then talked about other things: "Because I was injured in this battle, the sage may transfer me back to Chang'an, you need to make preparations early, and you can hand over when the successor comes, follow me to Beijing .”

"Here!"

Everyone responded, and Han Jin, who had the most affairs and the most complicated affairs here, asked directly: "Dare to ask Your Highness, when will the successor come?"

Princess Pingyang said: "The imperial court has not yet notified this matter, but according to the fatherly kindness of the saint, it should be before New Year's Eve."

A father naturally wants to reunite with his daughter during the Spring Festival.Everyone expressed their understanding.

This discussion is mainly about arranging winter hunting.Winter hunting was a very important activity in ancient times.The Tang Dynasty established the world with martial arts, and hunting throughout the year was regarded as an important event.

After arranging the winter hunting, Princess Pingyang just said: "Everyone, let's get ready first. After Prince Ping Liu Heita, I think he will go to Ludi to appease the local people and hope the people. Before going to Ludi, he should come to Weize Pass. Let’s go, everyone is ready to welcome the prince.”

"The prince is coming?"

Hanjin was obviously taken aback.Princess Pingyang calmly said: "I am here, the prince is my elder brother, he will come naturally."

"Here!"

Han Jin responded.
