Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 65
Separate the deep-fried dough sticks from the soy milk, put the buns and steamed buns together, Xue Lang went back to rest, and thought about it before falling asleep, wondering how many buns could be born in this litter; this is the first time for Baozi to be a mother, and I don't know if it can take its children well!Such a lively steamed stuffed bun is unimaginable.

I went to sleep thinking wildly, got up in the morning and went to the plantation to check it out, and then went to the workshop to go around, the practice couldn't help, and the supervisor was still capable.

I inspected the workshop and saw that Wan Siming was doing well, so I encouraged him a few words. Xue Lang went home to have breakfast, and just entered the house, before he had time to take a sip of hot water, Wan Fu handed over a greeting card: Mr. Lang, Governor Shi of Jingzhou and Xue Zhi of Fenyin are visiting, because Mr. Lang is not at home, so he left a greeting card and said he would come to visit again at noon."

History of Jingzhou Governor——

Mrs. Liu told him that Weizeguan belongs to Weize County and belongs to Jingzhou.The seat of Wei Zeguan was originally located in Wei Ze County, but Her Royal Highness the Princess thought it was far away, and her rank was too high, so she moved the seat out of Wei Ze County.

The long history of Jingzhou...is this a local official?I remember that Miss Liu said that she was from the fifth rank, not as high as Han Changshi's, but she is a local official, and when the governor is vacant, she can serve as the state shepherd.

However, even from the fifth rank is higher than Xue Lang.However, Governor Bing Shi is a local official, and Xue Lang, the boss, is a subordinate official of the Princess Mansion, so what should we say about this?
In addition, the governor of Jingzhou also reported his hometown!The surname is Xue like Xue Lang, and Fenyin...isn't it the territory of the Xue family in Hedong?
Xue Lang is also surnamed Xue, and he also paid attention to information about Xue's surname.The Xue family in Hedong is one of the six surnames in Kansai, a well-known prominent family.Many famous celebrities surnamed Xue in history all came from the Xue family in Hedong.For example, Xue Ju, who gave Li Shimin a big somersault, and Xue Rengui, a famous historical general in the future, all came from the Xue family in Hedong.

The history of the Xue family in Hedong can be traced back to the Shuhan period of the Three Kingdoms. After the fall of the Shuhan, they moved from the middle of Shu to Hedong. They have been officials for many generations, and they are a real famous family.

Xue Lang didn't know whether Xue Lang's Xue came from the Xue family in Hedong, and his ancestral home in Jiankang also heard from his father.It's just that when Xue Lang checked the surnames, he discovered that during the Yongjia Rebellion, the Xue surname was scattered.

The large branches of the Xue family gathered in Fenyin to protect themselves, so the largest branch of the Xue family became the Xue family in Hedong.The surname Xue in the world is not limited to the Xue family in Hedong, but also other scattered people with the Xue surname.

Xue Lang's plan is scattered, even in the modern age with advanced communications, it may not be possible to clearly record all the clansmen, let alone in the ancient times of war and chaos.

Speaking of which, the Xue family in Hedong is a distinguished family with its own characteristics.Most of the members of the Xue family in Fenyin are military generals. The Xue family style is brave and bold, and they advocate martial arts.Even if there are a few civil servants occasionally, their style is simple and direct, without the gentleness that a literati should have.

For example, the same is to be the governor, if there are bandits under the rule, if it is the Pei family, which is also one of the six major surnames in Kansai, the officials of the Pei family will choose to use probation and forgiveness to recruit the bandits; what about the other major surname Liu? , will distinguish the crime, should be arrested, should be killed, should be sentenced.

But if it is Xue's assassin, there is only one way - kill them all!Who cares why you became a bandit, who told you to become a bandit under my rule, you should be killed!The style is simple and rude, strong and direct.

With the prosperity of the Xue family, it is not enough for Xue Lang, a small princess, to come to the house.What is Xue Zhi here for?It can't be to meet relatives, can it?

There was nothing urgent about it, Xue Lang didn't go out at all, and ordered He Xiang to make tea, and stayed at home waiting for Xue Zhi from the Xue family in Hedong to come to his door.

At noon, Xue Zhi took a carriage and arrived at the door on time.

After receiving the notification, Xue Lang stood by the door to greet the guests——

Originally, it was very impolite to greet guests at the side door, but Xue Lang was working in the Princess Mansion, so he could never enter through the main entrance of the Princess Mansion.However, judging from Xue Zhi's intentions, this was just a private visit, and he didn't want to disturb the princess mansion.

Xue Zhi has a beautiful beard and is about thirty years old, older than Xue Lang.With a long history at this age, the development is considered smooth, not a mediocrity, nor a genius.

"Xue Changshi is here, and I am far away to welcome you. Today is Xue Lang's impolite, please come in."

Xue Zhi smiled and said: "Master Xue is not polite. Zhi came here without invitation and took the liberty to visit. It is Zhi's disrespect."

Say a few polite words to each other, welcome people in, and sit down in the living room as the guest of honor.Xue Lang didn't know why Xue Zhi came to the door, and he was not in a hurry, so he asked Changjian to serve tea, and casually chatted: "Xue Changshi, please have tea, my maid is gifted by His Royal Highness, and I have a skill in making tea, please Xue Changshi History Appreciation."

Xue Zhi said: "Wait and have tea!"

Xue Lang looked at Xue Zhi suspiciously.

Xue Zhidao: "A certain person in Jingzhou heard that a man surnamed Xue came back from a foreign country, and he thought to himself, could it be that my clan member surnamed Xue has returned! Before drinking tea, we first discuss the family tree, and after the sequence of teeth, it is convenient to communicate and talk. Zhibiao The character is Xianhui, I don’t know what your character is?”

Xue Lang said: "My name is Youyang."

"Okay! You and I will be called by the characters first. Youyang, you and I have the same surname Xue, let's talk about the family tree first, so that it is convenient to sequence the teeth."

Xue Zhi was in high spirits.It hurts Xue Lang to touch his egg——

Xue Lang's family is just an ordinary family. His grandfather didn't have an official name when he was a child, but he picked it up after participating in revolutionary work.Grandpa didn't even have a name, and his grandfather didn't even need to ask for the names of his ancestors because he didn't know a single big character.

Hearing that the family tree was going to be discussed, Xue Lang felt a bit guilty, except that the ancestral home was true, everything else was made up!However, the ancients were serious about genealogy, so what should we do?
If you tell too many lies, you will have to pay a hundred times more energy to complete them.Xue Lang accepted his fate and made a gesture of grief and indignation, saying: "My branch has been displaced. After several migrations, the ancestors lost their lives for a while, and the genealogy has long been lost in the displacement. It is just word of mouth. The ancestors moved during the Yongjia Rebellion. , lived in Jiankang before moving. I wonder if it can be recorded in the genealogy of the Xue family in Hedong?"

Xue Lang made a modest request for advice.

When Xue Zhi heard that the genealogy was lost, the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching, but he couldn't blame Xue Lang, so he could only calm down and said: "Is there any record in the genealogy, I need to go back to the ancestral house to look through the records of the Yongjia period. However, The Xue family is a common surname. Before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Xue family did not live together in Hedong, but scattered in various places. I, the Xue family in Hedong, came from Duke Yan of the East China Sea. Duke Yan had a son, Duke Yong. Yonggong entered Shu with the former Lord of Shu. Shu Han perished Afterwards, Duke Qi descended to Wei and moved from Shu to Hedong."

Is this telling Xue Lang about family history? !However, what does this have to do with Xue Lang? !

Xue Lang didn't understand, so he quietly listened to Xue Zhi's talk about ancient times.

Xue Zhidao: "After moving to Hedong, the world called him Shuxue. He was regarded as a different kind by other famous families and looked down upon. But my Xue family is not discouraged. Through the efforts of our ancestors, we have experienced sixteen kingdoms, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the former Sui Dynasty. Until today's Tang Dynasty, my Xue family in Hedong has been one of the six surnames in Kansai, and it has lasted for a long time!"

"As a descendant, Xue Lang greatly admires the achievements of our ancestors."

Xue Lang really admired those ancestors.To be able to strive to become a prominent family on a par with high families in an environment where family status was so important in ancient times, the efforts you put in are worthy of the admiration and admiration of all future generations.
