Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 338 Popularization of Geographical Knowledge
King Qin invited him to a banquet? !
Look at the post that says family dinner.Considering that the sage has issued an edict declaring him as Princess Pingyang's son-in-law, and the King of Qin holds a family banquet, he can indeed be invited!From now on, it will be Qin Wang Li Shimin, the future brother-in-law of His Majesty Taizong Erfengjun!

There is an indescribable coolness!

If you are a relative, you can indeed attend the family banquet!

The day of feasting is the day before Hugh Mu.The past few days have coincided with spring plowing, and most of them walk in the fields. The Tang Dynasty did not engage in new rural construction, and the roads are all dirt roads. Every day when I go home, I feel disheartened.In order to go to the banquet, she went home early to wash, changed her clothes, shoes and socks, and then went to Prince Qin's mansion.

Xue Lang specially brought two jars of wine, one jar of fruit wine and one jar of white wine.The peach blossom wine has already been drunk, and we will wait for the new peach blossoms to come out this year to re-brew. This fruit wine is green plum wine, which is very good for women comrades.Of course the gay man came for baijiu, but he didn't know how many glasses His Royal Highness King Qin could have.

Xue Lang secretly poked a smile, inexplicably looking forward to it.When they arrived at Prince Qin's Mansion, Amo stood at the door to greet the guests: "Young one, I welcome Mr. Xue, please come inside!"

The Prince Qin's Mansion occupies a larger area than the Princess Mansion.Under Amo's guidance, Xue Lang went in, walked through corridors and alleys, and walked for a long time before arriving at the banquet hall.

The King of Qin stood at the entrance of the hall to meet him: "Youyang is finally here, so I was told to wait!"

Xue Lang cupped his fists and said with a smile: "King Lao has been waiting for a long time, today he went to the fields outside the city, and came back covered in dust, he had to clean up before he could come out to meet people."

King Qin laughed and said enthusiastically, "Please come in."

Following King Qin into the hall, in the huge hall, apart from the children running around the room, there are women sitting upright. Princess Pingyang sits at the top, and beside her sits a young and beautiful woman with a gentle and charming temperament, Thinking about it, it is the future Empress of the ages, the current eldest grandson of Princess Qin.

Although he was very curious about this empress of the ages, Xue Lang didn't want to stare at people. He smiled at Princess Pingyang, and before he could say anything or pay respects, there was a little chubby lady at his feet. looked up at him.

The smile on Xue Lang's face froze, and he couldn't help but take two steps back. The people he was not good at dealing with definitely included children.I always feel that the children are soft and small, and they look very fragile, as if they will be hurt if they use too much force. Xue Lang's attitude towards children has always been respectful and far away.

"Qingque, come back."

Probably seeing his embarrassment, Princess Qin's call at this time was like a fairy sound to Xue Lang, Princess Qin whispered to the maid beside her, and the maid beside her went to take the child back.

Seeing the little fat man being taken away, Xue Lang breathed a sigh of relief, and each of them sat down.Everyone sat down, and the servants came up like flowing water and began to pass the dishes.

King Qin smiled and said, "That's my Silang Qingque."

Cheng Qian, who was playing at the side, saw Xue Lang coming in, and immediately came over to salute: "Cheng Qian has seen Xue..."

His voice stopped suddenly, he frowned in embarrassment, and turned to ask his father: "Aye, what should I call my son? Duke Xue? Uncle?"

Xue Lang blushed immediately, and secretly glanced at Princess Pingyang, seeing that there was also some shame on her brows, but he didn't make a sound.King Qin laughed and patted his eldest son's head, and said, "It's good to call him uncle."

Chengqian immediately saluted again politely: "Chengqian pays homage to uncle."

"Good boy. Come to my house to play with black beans when you have time."

When mentioning black beans, Chengqian's eyes lit up, a big smile appeared on his face, and he answered resoundingly: "Here."

Xue Lang bent down and patted his shoulder lightly, smiling all over his face, without saying anything.

The wine was green plum wine brought by Xue Lang, and there was no drinking order, no singing and dancing, just a few people sitting, eating, drinking, and chatting.

Xue Lang spent two-thirds of his time walking in the fields these days. The originally fair and handsome man was now much tanned and thinner, with only one pair of eyes still shining brightly.

Xue Lang sat at the table, didn't talk much, he was not a talkative person, with a smile on his face, he had a steady and sincere demeanor.Qin Wangfei looked at Princess Pingyang sitting on the table, then at Xue Lang, and nodded secretly in her heart.

"Your Majesty..."

As soon as Xue Lang yelled, Princess Pingyang calmly interjected, "Just call him Shimin."

King Qin laughed and looked at Xue Lang with an expression of approval.Xue Lang scratched his head and changed his words: "Shimin, is the land on your estate ready?"

More than half of the sweet potato vines brought from Weizeguan were handed over, and the remaining half was left after planting in Princess Pingyang and Xue Lang's village.Princess Pingyang gave it to King Qin, and Xue Lang made a technical guide.

Qin Wangdao: "It has been sorted out according to what you said, Youyang, and we just need to wait for the seeds to be planted."

Xue Lang pondered for a while, and said: "Tomorrow is Xiumu, you send good people, I will go and have a look tomorrow."

After talking a few words about planting sweet potatoes, King Qin suddenly asked: "I heard from my sister that the foreign country where Youyang grew up is quite far away from my Tang Dynasty, and the way back is quite difficult?"

Xue Lang's heart moved, thinking of the days after he traveled to the Tang Dynasty, because of Princess Pingyang's care, he didn't suffer much materially, but only he knew the pressure and loneliness in his heart, so he couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed, and there was no need to pretend on his face. They all had complicated expressions: "It is indeed very far, very far. If I were to walk again, I don't know if I can make it through, or if I can save my life. It's too difficult, too difficult!"

Thinking of the home he could never go back to, and Xue Qing, Xue Lang's eyes couldn't help getting moist.Princess Pingyang, who was sitting beside her, paused while holding the wine glass, and glanced at King Qin.

Qin Wang hurriedly said: "Shimin didn't mean to remind you of your sadness, Youyang, I just wanted to ask Youyang, is the outside world really so vast?"

Xue Lang cheered up, and said embarrassedly: "You are laughing at Shimin. If you say that the world is vast, I can only say that the world is far wider than we imagined. The world is huge. From the geographical point of view, Divided into seven continents and four oceans."

"Oh? Which Seven Greats?"

King Qin asked curiously.Xue Lang said: "Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, North America, Oceania, the four oceans, the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean. The place where I live is Asia, and the foreign country where I grew up is Europe. The four oceans The Pacific Ocean is the area where I start towards the southeast coast; the Indian Ocean is the area where Tianzhu faces the sea."

Xue Lang paused, and said: "This is based on geographical location. In such a vast world, even the skin color of people is different. Except for Asians with yellow skin and black eyes like us, there are white people in the world. People with skin, brown skin, and black skin. White people live in Europe, brown people in America, and black people in Africa."

Not only the King of Qin, but even the Princess of Qin listened attentively. Of the children playing beside her, the biggest bearer was Princess Pingyang, who had a peaceful expression and looked at Xue Lang occasionally, but couldn't tell what she was thinking.

Qin Wangdao: "The black-skinned one...is it like a Kunlun slave?"

Xue Lang shook his head: "No. The skin color of Kunlun slaves can't be considered dark. African blacks have real skin like charcoal. If you don't turn on the lights at night, you might not be able to find them."

After saying this, everyone couldn't help but smile.Xue Lang had an idea, and said: "If you ask me the specific route and how to get there, I don't know, but I can draw a rough map."
