Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 428 Yuan Zheng
Qin Wang compared his hands, and the soldiers dispersed, leaving only a few guards by his side.The King of Qin saw that the guards behind Xue Lang were holding some small prey in their hands, not even a deer, and the bow on Xue Lang's shoulder was still on his back, and he did not take it off.Can't help laughing: "Youyang hasn't fired yet?"

Xue Lang nodded, and said honestly: "It may not be possible to shoot if you open it."

King Qin laughed loudly, and after laughing, he looked at Xue Lang, seeing his bewildered face, then suddenly bowed his hands seriously, saluted Xue Lang and said: "A few days ago, thank you Youyang for smoothing things over for me."

It turned out to be thanks for this!Xue Lang replied with a salute, and said indifferently: "People's feelings for mothers, regardless of rich or poor, race, or country, are common. I don't think it's wrong to miss your mother. If you miss your mother, it's all wrong." Yes, is there anything right in this world?"

King Qin seemed not expecting him to say that, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly, the smile was very complicated: "But you need Youyang to defend me!"

Xue Lang was silent for a while, he didn't know what to say for a while, he could speak directly to Princess Pingyang, but to King Qin...some things he couldn't say, and if he said it, he would be suspected of provoking the relationship between the father and son of the Tian family, although everyone knew him Tell the truth, but just can't say it.

Simply, Xue Lang cupped his hands, and said: "Erlang should enjoy the fun of hunting while it's still early in the day. As long as you live well, I think the queen is under the nine springs, so I can comfort you."

After the winter hunting was over, Xue Lang had just returned to Chang'an, when Aunt Fang, who offered wine at the Princess Mansion, came to the door and said, "I pay my respects to the son-in-law, and as ordered by His Highness, come to discuss the wedding with the son-in-law."

Xue Lang said politely: "Madam Lao Fang, you know, I am a foreigner and I am not familiar with the local wedding customs, please give me some advice, Madam Fang."

Aunt Fang hurriedly said: "Dare not to do your best!"

After the two parties saw the ceremony, Aunt Fang said: "Come here today, one is to ask the prince-in-law what requirements he has for the residence; the other is to ask the prince-in-law for advice on the wedding banquet."

Xue Lang was stunned for a moment, and said: "There is no special request, I have already prepared the marriage bed, so there is no need for the princess to bother!"

Aunt Fang was stunned for a moment, and asked, "My son-in-law doesn't know the wedding customs of my Tang Dynasty?"

Xue Lang said honestly: "I know that the auspicious time for the wedding is at dusk, but I haven't asked anyone about the others."

Aunt Fang laughed and explained: "So that the son-in-law will know that the auspicious time is dusk, and the wedding will be held in the princess mansion. From now on, the son-in-law will also live in the princess mansion, so the so-called marriage bed of the son-in-law should also be placed in the princess mansion. "

It was also at this time that Xue Lang knew that, like him, the bride's status was higher than the groom's, or the man's family was not in Chang'an, but he lived in the woman's family after marriage.Therefore, Xue Lang will live in the princess mansion after marriage.

Of course, it doesn't mean that he has to live in the Princess Mansion in the future, he can also go back to his own mansion, but the place where the wedding will be held is in the Princess Mansion.

It doesn't matter to Xue Lang, anyway, he is alone, he can live anywhere!So, Xue Lang nodded obediently: "Then I'll have someone send it over later!"

Aunt Fang asked again: "We need wild geese for the wedding. At this time of year, there are no wild geese in the wild. If the son-in-law doesn't mind, can His Highness catch one from the Forbidden Garden and send it?"

Xue Lang quickly shook his head. In this season of Chang'an, there is no place to hunt wild geese except in the Imperial Forbidden Garden, and they all flew south for the winter.

In this way, the wedding-related matters were discussed item by item, and the meeting was over.Aunt Fang brought Ah Tu with her when she came over. She knew that Xue Lang was very good at cooking, so she came here to negotiate with Xue Lang, hoping to prepare a good meal.In addition, there are the layout of the new house, Xue Lang's preferences, etc. In the future, Xue Lang will live in the princess mansion for a long time, and the princess hopes that he can arrange it according to his own preferences.

Originally, Xue Lang thought that the banquet was going to be placed in his mansion, and he had made a lot of preparations before, but now that he heard that it was going to be placed in the princess mansion, he naturally took out the things he had prepared. Everyone's purpose was to hold the wedding ceremony That's right.

In order to make the wedding banquet held after Yuanzheng more beautiful, Xue Lang prepared a lot of food, not only vegetables.In fact, there were off-season vegetables in the Tang Dynasty, but people at this time paid attention to following the seasons, so off-season vegetables were not popular.Therefore, Xue Lang only prepared sausages and canned food.

That's right, Xue Lang got the can out.When the fruit is harvested in autumn, in addition to making a lot of jam and fruit wine, it is also canned.Put it in a bamboo tube, seal it with beeswax, hide it in the ice well, and prepare it for entertaining guests or eating by yourself in winter.

Fortunately, this is the ancient times where servants can be used. As long as the order is given, there are many servants who will take care of it and help Xue Lang share a lot of mundane affairs and pressure. However, he can't be idle, there are still many things waiting for him.Poor Xue Lang is forced to fall into the double "torture" of the Ministry of Rites and Aunt Fang. The Ministry of Rites trains him in etiquette, and Aunt Fang is in charge of the mundane affairs of the wedding.

Xue Lang took the opportunity to send over the Babu bed that had just been made, as well as a lot of food prepared for the wedding, all in one go.

In terms of official affairs, it is almost the end of the year, and everything must be done well before the sage seals his pen.In order not to make any mistakes during the wedding, the urgency became more pressing as the wedding approached. They sent someone to follow him every day. Whenever Xue Lang was free, he would make him review the etiquette.Xue Lang felt that if the days like this were longer, he would be bored to death. Fortunately, the wedding is not far away!

Busy and busy, when Xue Si came to ask for instructions on how to send Yuanzheng's festival gift this year, Xue Lang realized belatedly———

It turns out that the end of the year has passed, and the Spring Festival is almost here!Damn, we're getting married in a few days after New Year's Eve!He's leaving the group!However, at this time, Xue Lang still has a big problem to solve!
Makeup poem!Is it too late to buy now?

When Xue Lang complained to his good friend Su Han, Su Han was dumbfounded with him, hesitantly said: "This matter... I can't help, I don't know anything about poetry and prose."

The two good friends looked at each other, and there was only one expression on their faces——

How to do?
The two bachelors thought of Jiang Lin, the only married person.When Jiang Lin was found and understood the difficulty of the two, his expression was very delicate: "This matter..."

"Uh-huh!"

"I can't help it either!"

"what?!"

I can't believe it!
Jiang Lin scratched his head in embarrassment: "Back when I got married, I asked someone else to grab the knife for the reminder poem! Or... copy it out for your emergency? It's just... is the princess willing?"

This is a problem!
Xue Lang thought for a while with a sad face, but in the end he had no choice but to ask someone to quietly go to the princess mansion to ask, but in the end, Princess Pingyang answered "I think".

Xue Lang pondered, this meant that he was not allowed to find someone to write for him!ah!Egg pain... no, it's a headache!Think about which song to copy——

As a person whose level of writing official documents is only half literate and half white, if he writes ancient poems, will anyone believe it?This is a copy without copying the place!Under the sympathetic eyes of the two good gay friends, Xue Lang could only force himself silently, who made him want to marry Princess Pingyang!Thinking about it this way, I feel that it is just a makeup poem, which is nothing, and this is the proper meaning.

So painful and happy, secretly stuck a self-made wall calendar in the study, and after each day passed, I crossed out a date with a pen, watching the wedding date getting closer and closer.

Before Yuanzheng sealed his pen, the sage issued an edict——

In the Jin Dynasty, Xue Lang was granted the title of Duke Rui, with [-] households in the city of food, and [-] households with solid food; in addition, land, silk, gold and silver were rewarded.
