Settle Down In Tang Dynasty

Xue Lang was a man who had come to Beijing to offer auspicious fortune. The court treated him more warmly and attentively than the officials who normally came to Beijing. It was sunset when he arrived at the wharf. He got off the official ship in the sunset and the carriage waiting by the wharf.

Ligang came to Xue Lang to say hello: "young Yang, here, the old husband will be separated from Youyang."

To return to Chang'an City, Ligang wants to return to the saint Li Yuan for his life. Xue Lang needs to go to the post house to rest and complete before the saint is called. Xue Lang saluted to Ligang: "I will take care of him all the way. When the affairs at hand are over, we should go to the door and thank you."

"I will sweep the seats for him," Li Gang laughed and joked at him. At that time, Xue's meeting will be a past, and I think it's time to have a new official title to call Youyang. "

Xue Lang said: "however, Xue Youyang is still xueyouyang, and there will be no difference."

Li Gang laughed: "OK, the old man will wait for young yang to come to the door, and go!"

"Send Li Gong. Li Gong walks slowly."

Separated from Ligang, the sweet potato on board was already carried to the carriage. Qian Jiulong said: "please go to the carriage. The sage has ordered people to prepare a place. Some escort Xue consultative will go over and rest for a while, and will meet the saint tomorrow."

"I have money, general."

"I dare not. Xue consulted and asked to get on the carriage."

Li Gang has the imperial order of Saint Li Yuan, and can enter the city night after night. Xue Lang is here to offer auspicious fortune. It is necessary to stay outside the city post house now. You can enter the city tomorrow. Officials from other places will come to Beijing for the call of his majesty saint. Before they are summoned, they can only live in the post house.

There are many post houses in Tang Dynasty. The post station industry in Tang Dynasty was also very developed. According to statistics, the number of people engaged in this industry reached hundreds of thousands. It can be said that the post station opened wherever the territory of Tang Dynasty went.

There is a post house in a few miles beside the official road for the rest and replacement of horses and so on. Ancient officials went to work in other places or officials were demoted. The court expressly stipulated that there were several posthouses a day. There was a record that officials who were dismissed needed to catch up with ten posthouses a day.

Xuelongjin was not required to rush several post stations a day, mainly because he was afraid to go too fast and damaged the sweet potato. The opinions of Princess Pingyang and Ligang were all for Xue Lang to watch and run, so that the consumption of sweet potato transportation should be reduced. Therefore, it is only by water transportation, not by land.

I wonder if there is any reason why Princess Pingyang is not used to riding a carriage. I don't know how your royal highness is in the reed gate. According to the day, Liu Hei should be attacking the state county in Shandong Province, and then he will fight Henan and Hebei after he conquers the state and county in Shandong Province. Weizeguan should be safe at this time.

I hope he will bring the auspicious future and all the best, and Princess Pingyang will be all right.

Xue Lang wishes in silence at the bottom of his heart. It is necessary to think of Princess Pingyang's ability to go well. What should be paid more attention to is Xue Lang himself, who has participated in such a big scene for the first time in her life In fact, some heart is empty, calm, real man should withstand the test of the big scene.

"Xueunion, the post house is here. Please get off the carriage."

Xue Lang thought diverged for a while, and unconsciously arrived at the post house. Qian Jiulong had asked him to get off the carriage outside. Chang Jian opened the curtain outside and helped Xue Lang get off the carriage.

The post house is already strictly guarded. The whole post house, except the prime minister and the official, is the soldier brought by Qian Jiulong, and there is no other person. Xue Lang and Qian Jiulong watched people move sweet potatoes into the warehouse of the post house --

General Qian, please send someone to bring some torches. I want to see the situation of sweet potato and see if there is any damage on the way

"Good. Come on, take the torch! "

"Here."

In a short time, several soldiers brought fire handles to them --

when the sweet potato was in the basket, Xue Lang thought about the bumpy situation on the way, and let people bump thick dry thatch. When he drove on the way, he often asked people to cut grass and cover the hot sun with sweet potato.

Good preparation has received excellent returns, the sweet potato in the basket almost no bumps, at most is to scratch a little skin, everything is in good condition!

"Xue, there is a bad one?"

Qian Jiulong with awe of the eyes swept a basket of sweet potatoes, rather serious asked. "No, it's ready to come to the fashion basket. There's no bad," Xue said

"That's fine."

Money nine long this just reassures.

After checking sweet potatoes, he locked the warehouse door and handed the key directly to Xue lang. Qian Jiulong sent several troops to patrol the warehouse and post house, and kept the defense in a dripping water.

Xue Lang nodded secretly. The event of making a fortune has been carried out to the end. If the last moment fails, then none of them, who want to be good, be strict and serious, be responsible for themselves and others.

After all things are settled, Xuelang just came to his room under the leadership of the post prime minister. Lotus fragrance in the room was ready for everything. When he was in the bath bucket, Xue Lang felt shaking --

br > this is a sequelae of too long time by boat! See steamed bread in the room "crackle" lying down to know, even take a long boat, don't say people, is the dog can not bear!

Even if tired of this, Xue Lang can not get a good rest opportunity, Yinshi just half was woken by Lotus Xiang: "big Lang, big Lang, etiquette officials come, please big Lang get up."As a result, Xue Lang had to yawn and get up for days. While washing and gargling, he ordered lotus fragrance to make a cup of strong tea for him. After washing and gargling, he poured a cup of strong tea into his stomach. He was so bitter that his eyes were closed, but he felt a lot awake.

After waking up and going out, he saw two people waiting in the hall, one dressed as a Chamberlain and the other in a green robe. The inner servant is an acquaintance, the Royal servant of the Royal Highness, the old official of the green official robe is sent by the rites to tell the process of Xue Lang's Ceremony ahead of time.

"Why is the Chamberlain here?"

Seeing Rugui, Xue Lang is still very cordial and excited. A group of strangers suddenly see an acquaintance. All of you know that feeling.

Ru GUI saluted Xue Lang with a smile: "I have seen Xue Zhiyi. I have been ordered by your highness to go to Beijing to prepare. I don't want to be busy reminiscing about the past. Xue Ziyi invited councilor Zhou wailang from the Ministry of rites, which was sent by the court to inform Xue Advisory of the etiquette rules."

Xue Lang nodded and saluted to the old man in green robe: "excuse me, councillor Zhou wailang. Xue Lang is a wanderer who has returned from a foreign country. He doesn't know the etiquette of my court. Please give me more advice."

Councilor Zhou Wai Lang Ke said, "no, Xue Ziyi is polite. Is Xue Zhiyi ready? If you are ready, I will start to inform Xue Zhiyi of today's rules. "

Xue Lang face a su: "please point out."

In the process of the Minister of rites Zhou wailang pointing out the process of Xue Lang, Rugui sits on one side and looks at it quietly. Xue Lang's heart felt hot, and he knew that Princess GUI had sent him to the platform specially.

After talking about the process for more than an hour, wailang, a member of the Ministry of rites, took the trouble to check with Xue Lang three times. Seeing that Xue Lang had no mistakes, he left satisfied.

When wailang, a member of the Ministry of rites, left, Ru GUI said, "Xue Zi suggested that he could only eat steamed bread or cakes today. He should not drink too much water to avoid inconvenience."

Xue Lang nodded. Rugui also pointed out many places that Xue Lang needed to pay attention to when he was a face saint. He explained everything one by one until Xue Lang was familiar with his chest.

Finally, Rugui looked at the time and said, "counsellor Xue, can you bring the clothes your highness asked you to bring?"

Xue Lang nodded: "it's from here."

Ru GUI: "since it has been brought, the hour is almost over, please advise Xue to change clothes."
