Settle Down In Tang Dynasty

"Sir Xue, please."

The porter has obviously received the information that Xue Lang is going to visit, and someone is waiting for him directly at the porter. He followed the guide all the way in, and it was the yard that was not big last time, but planted with flowers and plants.

When Xue Lang went in, he saw Princess Pingyang holding a book. In front of her was a short table with a chessboard on it. She didn't know whether she was playing score or playing chess with herself.

"Yes, your highness."

Princess Pingyang dropped her chess pieces and books: "are you coming? Sit down. "

Although did not smile, but between the eyebrows but a gentle color. Xue Lang chuckled, but he was not polite. He sat down directly opposite the princess Pingyang and put the drawing he had brought to the table.

Princess Pingyang reached out and took the drawing and looked at it: "is this a furniture drawing?"

Xue Lang replied, "yes. After parting from his highness yesterday... "

Speaking of this, she couldn't help looking up at Princess Pingyang. Her expression was as usual. When she looked up at her, she couldn't help laughing: "what am I doing? Go on

"Oh

There is nothing wrong with the women, but he is a man who is shy. It's a shame. It's worthless!

silently tucking himself in his heart, and then he said, "I met the sage with a chance to go around the lights for a while. Then, when the weather was cold, I asked the saints to use some refreshments to my house. The saints looked at the furniture in our house with a new style and comfortably than the short one. I promised to make complaints about the drawings and the saints. That's what your highness saw. "

Princess Pingyang did not speak, but carefully looked at the drawings. Xue Lang indicated on the drawings that what kind of furniture was generally placed where and what the name was, basically at a glance.

Xue Lang said, "please take the drawings in for me when your highness enters the palace. The other is... "

It's a bit hard to say.

Princess Pingyang looked up from the drawing: "what's the matter?"

Xue Lang thought about the shrunken purse, or felt more frank, so he said with a shy smile: "Your Highness, are the craftsmen in your family free?"

Princess Pingyang raised her eyebrows. Although she did not speak, the meaning of the question was very clear. Xue Lang touched the back of his head and said with embarrassment, "I want to say that if the sage uses these furniture first, will the people who want to come to the government use them? I want to do some selling. However, I don't have any familiar people in Chang'an City, and I don't know which craftsman is good. I'm afraid that the craftsman I'm looking for is not skilled enough, and I'll fall short. Therefore, he asked his highness to borrow some craftsmen. "

Princess Pingyang suddenly asked, "but are you short of money? Because of the Ministry? "

Xue Lang nodded honestly: "I don't have any industry in Beijing, but I haven't got much in Yongye field. I'm really in a tight position, so..."

Sorry smile. Princess Pingyang said, "my family can't make furniture recently. Craftsman Youyang can take it with you."

Xue Lang quickly thanks: "thank you, your highness."

Princess Pingyang pondered a little and said, "Youyang also knows that good soldiers are all made of money and money. The music is related to Youyang's family and life, so you can't be careless. It has always cost a lot to raise soldiers, such as Youyang It's not the right way to go in the long run. "

Xue Lang said: "thank you for reminding me. I also know it can't be like this. But you know, I do have a business of making money. It just takes time. At least it will take next year to achieve results. It will be good to survive this year. That's why I use my brain on the furniture. "

Knowing that he had always done things safely, Princess Pingyang stopped asking questions. Instead, she pondered a little and said, "so, so I know that Youyang is a down-to-earth person. However, if there is something you can't help with, don't learn from those who hold on to face. Can you speak to me

Xue Lang nodded with a smile. Although his EQ was low, he knew that Princess Pingyang knew his strange situation in Beijing. He really wanted to help him. There was nothing that looked down on him. He just wanted to help him. Xue Lang was not a man who wanted to face and suffer, nor was he ignorant of good or evil. Naturally, he agreed simply.

Princess Pingyang couldn't help laughing, but she was quite satisfied. She said, "I know Youyang is different from other men. She won't waste my good intentions by doing things that are strong."

Xue Lang smiles, but also did not deny, scratch his head, no words to find words: "by the way, your highness, that silk cotton blended matter, find someone to study?"

Princess Pingyang looked at him and nodded: "I have told Rugui to do it. I'm afraid it will take time."

Xue Lang said: "since there are internal servants to do it, we should first study the movable type printing. To be on the safe side, first use mud to burn a furnace of type, and then wait for the size to be determined before firing the metal type. In this way, it should not cause too much waste. "

"Yes."

Princess Pingyang pondered, "I will choose someone to do it myself."

Xue Lang Ning looked at Princess Pingyang and suddenly thought of something. He even said, "Your Highness, can I borrow some paper?"

Pingyang princess looked at him doubtfully, but still let Chu Xue bring him paper. Xue Lang can't use a brush. Naturally, he doesn't need to take a pen. He just takes out his pen and starts to draw --

"what's this?"Princess Pingyang looked at Xue Lang's two strokes and did not see what it was after a long time.

Xue Lang replied, "this is horseshoe, also called horseshoe!"

her royal highness is clever and intelligent.

Xue Lang looked around. Princess Pingyang understood him and said calmly, "all go out. No one can get close without me calling."

"Here it is."

The attendants answered and went out. The first snow brought a hot red jujube tea to them. Then they got up and went out. Before they went far, they stood at the door.

Xue Lang said: "Your Highness, this is called horseshoe, which is nailed to the horse's shoe. It can reduce the wear between the horse's shoe and the ground, protect the horse's hoof, and make the horse's hoof grasp the ground more firmly, and increase the safety of horse riding and carriage!"

Princess Pingyang is stunned and suddenly turns her head. Her eyes are burning at Xue Lang. However, Xue Lang was very busy explaining the horseshoes he painted to Princess Pingyang: "Your Highness, I have observed for a long time and found that there are no protective measures on the hooves of horses in their leisure time. Only when they are fighting, they will cover their hooves with a layer of leather. Although leather can protect horseshoes from damage, I don't think leather is the best in terms of safety. All the horses of florists put shoes on their horses' hooves. After extensive and long-term practice, it is good for both the horse and the rider. "

Before the Ming Dynasty, there was no horseshoe, and it was not easy to cultivate a war horse. In order to protect the horse's hoof and reduce the wear and tear of the horse, the most commonly used method was to cover the horse's hoof with a leather sheath in the shape of a horse's hoof, commonly known as leather.

Xue Lang thought for a day, and now his royal highness does not lead the army to war. Naturally, she will not go to war, and the threat from the battlefield will be gone. But the royal highness of the princess is an aristocrat, and the idea of horses is an essential part of travel. What Xue Lang wants to do is to find solutions to all possible threats. As a result, horseshoe came into being.
