Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 286 Arrangement
Pingyang Princess Mansion——

"My lady, Ye Duwei is here with Alu."

Mu Xue came in to report.Princess Pingyang nodded: "Let them in."

"Here."

Mu Xue went out to spread the word, and after a while, Ye Qing came in with his little fiancée——

"Subordinate (Alu) pays respects to Your Highness."

The young couple saluted first as soon as they came in, Princess Pingyang raised her hand and said: "Excuse me, sit down, it's tiring for the two of you to come here in such a cold weather!"

Ye Qing bowed and said, "Don't dare, this is the duty of the subordinates."

His little fiancée said with a smile: "Your Highness let me come over, Alu can only be happy, Alu misses Your Highness!"

Her tone was charming, Princess Pingyang liked Alu very much, she couldn't help smiling when she heard the words, and waved to Alu, asking Alu to come over.

Alu walked over with a smile, and sat directly beside Princess Pingyang, raised her face, and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, does Alu grow up?"

Princess Pingyang had a smile on her face, and she pretended to look at her carefully: "Well... she has grown up a bit, but she hasn't grown up yet, so she can't get married yet."

Saying this, Ye Qing, who was silent at the side, blushed silently, but she didn't mean to blame her little fiancée, A Lu was so innocent and romantic, so cute.

A Lu pursed her lips, seeming a little depressed, glanced at Ye Qing, and sighed: "A Lu really wants to grow up quickly and marry Ye Lang."

Princess Pingyang glanced at Ye Qing, Ye Qing immediately straightened her spine, and said in a muffled voice: "I will wait for Ah Lu to grow up."

Princess Pingyang was satisfied with this, and asked Chuxue to eat the tangerines given by the palace for Alu, then turned to Ye Qing and said, "After the Shangyuan Festival, the sage will return to court. At that time, Ziming's appointment should be able Come down. Ziming knows that after returning to Chang'an, I have handed over the military talisman and resigned from the post of general. Ma Sanbao and your post will be arranged before I let go. You have a military post you want to do None?"

Ye Qing thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, this subordinate still wants to go to the battlefield!"

"Not afraid of death?"

"afraid!"

Princess Pingyang asked: "Since you are afraid, why do you still make such a choice?"

Ye Qing glanced at his young fiancee eagerly, and a warm smile appeared on his serious face: "Because this subordinate wants Alu to live a better life. Apart from this martial arts, this subordinate can lead soldiers Outside of combat, I don't even know how to farm. I took Alu to hunt for a living before, and I suffered a lot from Alu, and she was so tired that she tried to support the family at a young age. It's not what a man does! I want Alu Ronghua Wealthy, well-clothed and well-fed, if you will marry me tomorrow, you will be worthy of marrying me!"

Princess Pingyang nodded, and said solemnly: "I know what you are worried about. It's just that on the battlefield, swords and soldiers have no eyes, can you think about it?"

Alu looked at Ye Qing with big round eyes, and Ye Qing smiled at her with a doting smile: "Think about it! Alu is still young and can't get married yet. While she is still young, my subordinates are willing to do a good job." !"

Princess Pingyang nodded, then turned to look at A Lu: "A Lu, what do you mean?"

Alu smiled shyly at Princess Pingyang, her big bright eyes were so clear that she could see the bottom: "Your Highness, what Ye Lang means is what I mean. Although Ye Lang didn't say it, I know that only when he is a general can he be able to see the truth." If you are happy, you will live up to what you have learned. If Ye Lang wants to go, A Lu will stay at home and wait for him. Ye Lang, A Lu is only you, and you are the only one!"

The last sentence was addressed to Ye Qing.Ye Qing nodded solemnly and said, "I know! Don't worry, Alu, I only have you!"

Princess Pingyang looked at the pair of Bi people and sighed: "I just hope that you two will not regret today's decision in the future!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, shaking their heads in unison.

Princess Pingyang waved her hand and said: "It's cold, let's go back. After the Shangyuan Festival, Ziming will come down after you accept your fate. Take advantage of these few days to spend time with Alu. In the future, Alu can still be sent to I'm here."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The young couple bid farewell to Princess Pingyang: "My subordinate (A Lu) resigns!"

Princess Pingyang nodded and asked someone to send the two of them out.

Princess Pingyang closed her eyes slightly, meditating silently.At the side, Chuxue poured out her cold tea and refilled it with new tea. After the tea was finished, she gently placed it in front of Princess Pingyang, and stepped back lightly, trying her best not to make a sound.

Just after the third day of the Lunar New Year, it actually snowed, and it was quite heavy.In this era when colds and colds can kill people, after it snows, everyone is reluctant to go out.

Xue Lang stayed at home, copying things, drawing pictures, playing a game of poker with Su Han and Jiang Lin, or calling Su Siniang to play a few rounds of mahjong together, which was quite enjoyable.

The heavy snow fell for three consecutive days without stopping, Su Siniang was quite regretful: "I don't know how many days the snow will continue, so don't affect the Lantern Festival."

Xue Lang asked curiously: "Siblings, is Chang'an celebrating the Lantern Festival very grandly?"

Su Siniang said happily: "It's very grand. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, and on the sixteenth, seventeenth, and three days after that, the imperial court has no curfew. It was very lively."

"Really? Then go and have a look."

Xue Lang laughed, saying that since traveling to ancient times, he has never participated in such a lively festival.Su Siniang said: "Brother, what should we do with the lamps in our house? Is there a regulation, Brother?"

"We also want to make lights in our house?"

"It must be done. At that time, every household in the whole city will hang lamps. Wouldn't it be strange if only our house doesn't have one? Moreover, the lamps need to be made more delicate."

To make lanterns... To be honest, Xue Lang only knows how to make small orange lanterns, and he has never tried anything else.In modern times, except for craftsmen, lanterns are bought ready-made.With his hands-on ability, if he has the materials, it is no problem to make a round lantern by himself. If he wants to make a more complicated and exquisite style, there is nothing he can do.

So, Xue Lang looked at Jiang Lin: "A Lin, can you make lanterns?"

Jiang Lindao: "I can only do simple things, I can't do things that are too complicated."

"Where's Hengyu?"

Su Han said: "Lanterns are not used on the mountain, so I don't know how to make them, but I know how to make wind lanterns."

Xue Lang spread his hands helplessly at Su Siniang: "So, brothers and sisters, let's buy ready-made ones. Buy blank ones, and I can draw the patterns when they come back, so let's just do it."

None of the three men knew how to make lanterns, so they had to buy them in the end.

Su Siniang unceremoniously gave the three men a pair of contemptuous white eyeballs, and sighed: "I thought it would save trouble, but I still need to buy it. I don't know if I can buy it. Let's try it."

The three men looked at each other and felt a little pain in their knees.Jiang Lin sneered and said, "My lady is tired!"

Su Siniang said: "Who told elder brother not to get married! Eldest brother, please face up to the lack of a mistress in your house, always let the younger sister act as the surrogate, the name is not right and the word is not good, I am afraid it will attract people's gossip."

Ah, I was forced to marry again!I can't say that the object of my fancy is Princess Pingyang, and there is no hope of marrying her yet... If I say so, will Su Siniang despise her?

Xue Lang laughed, grabbed the pen and paper, and started to draw stick figures, asking, "Sister and sister, would you like to draw this pattern on the lantern?"

Su Siniang glanced at it, then frowned and asked, "Is this the rabbit you drew?"

Xue Lang nodded and said with a smile: "I don't know how to make lanterns, so I'll make you a little paper rabbit and stick it on the lantern. How about the rabbit hugging the lantern?"

Su Siniang's eyes lit up: "Yes! Please trouble brother!"

Xue Lang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's nothing, it's very simple, don't bother."

Very good!Finally fooled it!
