Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 283

Princess Pingyang paused for a moment with her hand under the table, without showing any expression on her face, she replied respectfully: "Back to the saint, my daughter once sent Shi Han, the head of the house, to ask Youyang, but Youyang refused the marriage."

"Rejected?"

The saint had a strange look on his face: "Why?"

Why... Thinking of Han Jin's reply, Princess Pingyang paused for a moment, and replied without hesitation: "My daughter doesn't know."

The sage said: "That's strange. Anyway, marriage is a good thing to have two surnames. If Xue Qing's family doesn't want it, they can't force it. After a few days, I will order him to enter the palace to ask questions."

After finishing speaking, there was a pause, and the saint suddenly said: "Speaking of which, it has been six years of Wude since today. Before she died, your mother told me that I can only recruit a son-in-law for you next year, but Bufan will just wait and see each other this year." Well, the wedding will be held next year. You brothers often go out for walks, so you can take a closer look, and see that the He family has a good Erlang, who is suitable for Jianling, and you can report to Aye's desk, and together we can choose a good son-in-law for Jianling."

Princess Pingyang called "Aye" and bowed her head in silence.King Qin glanced at his sister with a smile, and replied loudly: "Here."

Princess Pingyang gave him a dissatisfied look, and said angrily, "Erlang also came to make fun of my sister."

King Qin had a smile in his eyes, and said with a serious face, "The sage speaks well, brother should listen to the order."

The Tianjiayan laughed at Yan Yan, a harmony.

Among the princesses, Princess Changsha and Princess Xiangyang sat together, tugged at her sister's sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, who is the Duke of Changping here?"

Princess Xiangyang glanced at the crowd and said, "It should be the one next to the pillar on the left."

Princess Changsha stared at him twice, and said in a low voice: "He is actually a handsome and handsome gentleman. Don't blame my mother for worrying. Sanniang has liked good-looking people since she was a child. Even maidservants and servants choose handsome people. No wonder... "

"Be careful!"

Princess Xiangyang interrupted her before she finished speaking. Princess Changsha realized that the situation was not right, so she quickly stopped talking, but her eyes were full of understanding.

Naturally, Xue Lang didn't know the whispers between the two sisters. He had just eaten half full, and he had no chance to continue eating, because someone was toasting him——

A dark and strong general came to the door and introduced himself: "Mr. Xue, the last general, Yuchi Gong, has a word of respect for virtue. I heard that Mr. Xue has practiced the immeasurable magical skills of the sea. He can drink as much as the sea and never get drunk. Weiming, I’m here to ask for advice!”

Xue Lang: "..."

#On the disadvantages of joking around! #
#I blow out a cow with a good capacity for alcohol, and now others come to drink, how can I shirk it?Wait online, hurry up! #
……

Xue Lang silently ignored the dense barrage of complaints in his heart, smiled like a toothache, held his wine glass and said: "General Yuchi has won the award, the so-called boundless sea is just a joke, it can't be true! I heard that the general is a fierce general under King Qin's command." On the one hand, I am fortunate to meet the general today, but I can understand it! General, please!"

Yuchi Jingde smiled quite proudly, and said: "So, Jingde and the Duke of the county must have been friends for a long time? Very good, I should have a drink. However, what I drink today is the old wine. In fact, I was young Those who drink first, Duke Xue please do it first!"

The so-called old wine is Tusu wine.Every year during the Spring Festival, according to ancient customs, Tusu wine is drunk, so Tusu wine is also called Suijiu.Generally speaking, the elders always drink alcohol first, but Tusu wine is the opposite, the younger drink first, and the older drink last.

Xue Lang drank a cup first, and then Yuchi Jingde drank——

The alcohol content of this Tusu wine is not high, but it smells like traditional Chinese medicine.

Xue Lang and Yuchi Jingde drank three cups in a row. Yuchi Jingde saw that Xue Lang was not blushing and was not panting, so he gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Xue is a good drinker! He really deserves his reputation!"

The corners of Xue Lang's mouth twitched, and he said with a dry smile, "General Yuchi's praise."

The palace banquets in the Tang Dynasty naturally couldn't keep up with the rules of the Braid Dynasty.At this time, what is important is that the monarch and his ministers have fun together and share the feast.Those with braided hair are not called ministers, they are the emperor's servants, so naturally they don't get much respect.This is the fundamental difference between the two dynasties.

The ministers walked around to toast, or gathered in twos and threes to drink, and no one would reprimand them for not having rules.There are those who drink too much and want to be convenient, and there are also servants who lead them to change clothes.

What?Will some ministers get drunk and break into the harem or bump into the female relatives attending the banquet——

Dear, is the palace guard you are on duty a dead person?Is your servant on duty in the palace a dead person?What's more, ministers who participate in palace banquets and are fond of what's in the cup will subconsciously restrain themselves when drinking.If you accidentally get drunk, there will be a servant who will send it out to the servants who follow to send you back to the mansion.

Xue Lang doesn't know who spread his reputation of being a good drinker, it probably spread quite widely in Beijing, besides Yuchi Jingde, even Li Xiaogong, Prince of Zhao Jun, came over to drink with him——

It was Xue Lang who was young and Prince Zhao was old, so Xue Lang drank it first, and King Zhao drank a glass of Tusu wine happily after drinking, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xue is a good drinker!"

With a big question mark drawn in Xue Lang's heart, he said modestly: "The king of Zhao Jun is overwhelmed."

Zhao Junwang smiled and shook his head: "There is no praise, Xue Jungong has drank several cups in a row, and his face still does not change. Such a drinking capacity is enough to boast."

Xue Lang said truthfully: "It's really not self-effacing, but I was used to drinking strong alcohol before, and the wine I drink is a little lighter, so it seems that I drink well."

King Zhao's narrowed eyes lit up for a moment, and he asked curiously: "So, the wine that Duke Xue drank in the past is different from my Datang?"

"Yes."

"I don't know if someone is lucky enough to taste one or two?"

Huh? !It feels like some mystery has been solved!
Xue Lang looked at Duke Zhao in surprise.King Zhao Jun said with a smile: "A certain family has only two things in their life. One is the thing in this cup, and the other is a beautiful girl in singing and dancing. I heard from the King of Qin that Xue Jungong is not only good at drinking, but also good at making wine. The wine he brews is quite unique. It can be called a good wine. After hearing about it, I have been eager to taste it, but I have never had the opportunity to meet Xue Jungong. Today, I had a banquet and heard that Xue Jungong was present, so I had the audacity to meet Xue Jungong. The so-called acquaintance is a friend, and the friendship between friends In the meantime, think about it, you should be able to taste the delicious bar brewed by Duke Xue?"

After making such a big circle, it turned out to be for this!

Thinking of the historical records of this King Zhao Jun, he was really as he said. History said that he was extravagant, and there were more than 100 singers and dancers in the back room of his family, and he loved wine and beauties.However, he is really good-natured, forgiving and condescending to others, and never shows arrogance.

After thinking about it, Xue Lang said with a hearty smile: "As friends in wine, King Zhaojun would like to taste my craft, so I am willing. After leaving the palace, I will send someone to bring wine to King Zhaojun tomorrow. good?"

Zhao Junwang smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Very good! Very good! Then I am waiting for Duke Xue's fine wine."

In order to be able to taste good wine, Zhaojun Wang, who had never met before, had the cheek to take the initiative to meet him, which shows that he really loves wine.It is rare to have a friend, Xue Lang is naturally willing to share a thing or two with him.

However, since traveling to the Tang Dynasty, Xue Lang also drank the wine given by his colleagues and the wine hidden in the princess's mansion, none of which was more than [-] degrees Celsius, and he was not as good as beer.So, it's not that he can drink well, it's that the wine in the Tang Dynasty is too weak. If it's not for the trouble of going to the toilet, it's okay to drink five jars, let alone two jars.

Every time he drank, Xue Lang thought of Shixian's "Li Baidou's Hundred Poems on Wine" and felt a little sad, feeling like something was shattered!
