Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 471 Mid-Autumn Festival

After moving, Su Han left, Xue Lang felt lost in his heart, but it was not unbearable, three years, fast and slow, compared with the harvest, the suffering now is nothing worth mentioning.

Xue Lang is such a pragmatic person.I paint when I miss the princess, and paint when I feel lonely. Reading, painting, and calligraphy take up all of Xue Lang's free time.

After Xue Lang's house was built, the winery was also ready. The new rice had already come down. Xue Lang went to point out the key points of rice selection, and then waited for winter to make wine.

The masters selected by Pei Yunzhao are all experienced, but they don't have a sense of hygiene when making wine, so it's no wonder that the wine they brew is not outstanding.The flora during winemaking is very important. The degree and taste of the wine in the Tang Dynasty did not improve, and a large part of it was related to the lack of hygiene awareness and conditions.Although the master craftsmen were puzzled, they still followed his request and waited for the season to make wine.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was only a few days away in August, and one day earlier, Jiang Lin actually came here in casual clothes, bringing only two soldiers.Both of them live alone, so getting together to celebrate the festival relieved each other's loneliness.Xue Lang asked He Xiang to prepare two festival gifts for Pei Yunzhao and Yang Changshi. Together with Jiang Lin, one person grinds the noodles, the other makes the stuffing, and makes mooncakes for eating.

Early in the morning of the second day after Jiang Lincai arrived, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Pei Yunzhao's personal servant sent two invitations early in the morning, inviting them to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival held by Pei Yunzhao.

The two brothers Xue Lang and Jiang Lin looked at each other, relatively speechless. Xue Lang had no literary talent, could not write poetry, and never participated in any literary fairs; the same was true for Jiang Lin. As far as poetry is concerned, there is actually no talent.

"Big Brother, do you want to participate?"

Jiang Lin asked Xue Lang for his opinion, and Xue Lang was a little embarrassed: "Since I arrived in Yuezhou, I have been taken care of by this governor Pei a lot, and I am a little embarrassed to refute his face."

Jiang Lindao: "In that case, let's go, we can't write poems, and if we drink alcohol... the eldest brother will be afraid?"

Xue Lang gave him a "what you said makes sense" look in his eyes, left an invitation card, and waited to participate in the evening.Just as he was talking, He Xiang frowned and brought in a gift list, saying: "Master, the Chai Clan of Hangzhou has sent a festival gift."

"Hangzhou Chai? Who is that? I don't know him!"

He Xiang was speechless, Jiang Lindao: "Princess's former husband-in-law Chai Shao...is from the Chai family. After Chai Shao's death, the Chai family moved from Daxing City to Hangzhou for many years."

He Xiang nodded: "It's the Chai family. Since my grandfather became a son-in-law and married the princess, during these days in Chang'an, but every festival, the Chai family will give gifts, and His Highness will return gifts. Now that the master is in Yuezhou, the Chai family has sent What should I do with the boxing gift sent by someone? Please show me!"

As a patient with EQ deficiency, Xue Lang is most annoyed by these human relationships, and because of Her Royal Highness, Xue Lang is always a little wary of Shang Chai.Xue Lang asked: "What do they give as a gift? It's the same as in Chang'an, and there are still changes?"

He Xiang said: "It's the same as the etiquette in Chang'an."

Xue Lang thought for a while, and said: "Then deal with it according to the princess's return gift in Chang'an, don't be thin."

"Here."

Hexiang went down to deal with it.Xue Lang couldn't help but said: "Speaking of which, Mrs. Chai has no reason or position to give me a gift. Just give it to the princess. Give it to me...it's so strange!"

Jiang Lin thought about it, and said: "Chai's family is not prosperous now, the family is neglected, there are no talents, only a direct descendant, Chai Tong, who is now working in Zuo Lingwei in the middle of the capital, I heard that he came from the sister-in-law's line. I also saw it when I was in Nanya, their talents are very mediocre, and they are only a little kind."

Xue Lang knew that Princess Pingyang felt sorry for Chai, so he helped Chai get out of the way, nodded, and didn't say much.

While the two were talking, Village Chief Wu brought Wu Genshui to see him. Xue Lang asked Changjian to invite him in. Village Chief Wu was carrying a basket of vegetables in his hand, while Wu Genshui was carrying two fish baskets. He smiled and said: "Happy Holidays, Mr. Xue. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. You are here alone. According to the etiquette, you should come to celebrate the festival with us. However, the thatched cottage is shabby, so I dare not invite Mr. Xue. Xiao Shier caught some eels yesterday. Fish and river prawns, I have a few eggs here, as well as fresh vegetables from the field, I will send them to you as a gift, the things are simple, please don’t dislike them.”

Village Chief Wu's official language is not very good, with a strong Wu accent, Xue Lang struggled to listen, and he also struggled to speak.Xue Lang listened attentively, and after listening, he said: "Thank you to the village chief and Wu Zhuangshi for thinking about it. It is already a friendship for the two of you to come and congratulate me. How can I still accept your things? Take them back and add food to the children!"

Wu Genshui said a few words with a blushing face, Xue Lang understood, but still patiently listened to the translation by Village Chief Wu: "These are all things from the fields, they are not worth anything, and I have already kept a copy at home. This is specially reserved for Xue Guanren, the things are humble, but Xue Guanren dislikes them?"

Everyone said so, Xue Lang naturally couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to ask Changjian to accept it, and then asked Ah Tu to give the baked mooncakes to the two of them.The two declined for a long time, seeing that Xue Lang insisted on giving it, but they declined but just left with the mooncakes.

Jiang Lin said with a smile: "It seems that elder brother is much familiar with them."

Xue Lang smiled wryly: "It's thanks to Hengyu. He often sees doctors for the villagers of Sishui Village when he is there. These people appreciate his kindness and take good care of me. But thanks to them, we have enough food for today! "

Jiang Lin nodded, and said: "It's hard for Hengyu to be considerate. The elder brother has trilogy guards, so I think it will be safe. However, it would be better if we can get along with the villagers of Sishui Village in harmony. I just don't know if Hengyu did it on purpose. Or is it unintentional?"

The last sentence definitely despises Su Han's EQ!

Xue Lang pointed at Jiang Lin and laughed. Jiang Lin pretended to be puzzled, but after holding back for a while, he laughed too.Jiang Lin was more talkative than Su Han, and with him around, the two brothers would have more topics to talk about.It's actually quite interesting to be with Su Han, because he is very funny, and there are more interesting things that happen unintentionally than when they are intentional.In short, Xue Lang is very satisfied that someone is with him to celebrate the festival, and he is not alone.

Considering that the princess is in Beijing, fortunately she can spend tonight with the saint, otherwise, the princess would be even more pitiful, without even a companion.Thinking of this, Xue Lang couldn't help sighing.

In the afternoon, the two brothers each ate some food to pad their stomachs, changed their clothes, and set off for the government office to attend the literary meeting held by Pei Yunzhao——

Although he agreed, Xue Lang still wanted to complain!Pei Yunzhao didn't know what he was thinking, but actually invited him to participate in the literature meeting, Xue Lang was very suspicious, how could he look like a wit!Tell me, can't he change it?
