Settle Down In Tang Dynasty

Xue Lang had been busy for several days and finally had time to rest for a day. The king of Qin didn't wake up from a hangover. Only princess Qin was in charge of the affair. Xue Lang was embarrassed to stay longer, so he left for home. Princess Pingyang seems to have something to do. She needs to stay in the palace of Lord Qin.

Taking advantage of the rest, Xue Lang went to his own Chuang Tzu to have a look. In the ancient times, when there was no chemical fertilizer, no pesticide, and even no seeds with high yield and disease resistance, Xue Lang was worried about the yield per mu. He had to pay more attention to the farming process, hoping for a good harvest.

When Xue Lang came back from the farm and had just entered the house, he Xiang handed over a pile of invitation cards and whispered back: "Dalang, this is the invitation for Dalang to dinner on March 3. Please have a look at it."

Xue Lang counts with his fingers. Isn't it nearly March 3! The third day of the third month of the lunar calendar is Shangsi Festival. Du Fu, the poet of poetry, once wrote that the weather on March 3 is new and there are many beautiful people by the water in Chang'an.

In the Tang Dynasty, Shangsi festival was also a national carnival, regardless of men, women, old and young. On this day, it is called "Shi", that is to say, the sacrifice of eliminating evil. In a word, it is exorcism. In the next year, we should wash our hands and wash away the diseases of men and women.

On this day, the Furong garden and Qujiang pool in the south of the city are as lively as the vegetable market. The families of power and nobles or the Qujiang pool in the Furong garden occupy a scenic position near the water, set up barriers and hold a picnic for all the family, men, women, old and young. Music in chijiang or drinking in a boat.

There was no effective housekeeper in Xue Lang's family, and no one reminded him of the customs of Chang'an. On the day of Shangsi Festival, it is estimated that there is no good place in Hibiscus garden. It is occupied by people.

Xue Lang didn't have a lot of friends, and he didn't have much interest in going to a picnic party. Looking at this pile of invitation cards, Xue Lang turned over Li Xiaogong, Wei Chi Gong, Li Gang, etc., which he knew. There were also those who were not familiar with, only heard the names, knew what people looked like, and had never been in the future.

Xue Lang said: "lotus, you go to help me prepare paper and pen, I return to the post."

If you want to say that the biggest banquet on March 3 is the royal family of Li Tang. Although Xue Lang has not yet married Princess Pingyang, he has already carried the name of his son-in-law. He is also a relative of the royal family of Li Tang and has the qualification to participate in the Royal picnic.

Xue Lang wrote a letter to thank the people who had posted to him, declined the invitation and waited for the royal banquet. However, I heard that on March 3. In Chang'an City, people who have wives in their families will come out to play, whether they are married or unmarried.

Xue Lang touches his chin. Usually, little ladies are raised in boudoirs, but they don't know him. March 3 is a good opportunity to take Su Han out for a walk. Maybe some little lady will like him and choose him as his son-in-law!

In this way, he was not busy writing a reply to the banquet. Instead, he wrote to Su Han and asked him to come back first. Su Han, who received the letter, finally came back on the first day of Shangsi Festival.

"Why did Youyang call me back?"

Su Han, who is full of dust, is full of dust, but his spirit is not bad. Xue Lang said with a smile: "two things! First, after half a month's hard work, it's time to have a rest. It's the right way to combine work with rest. I'll let Artu prepare delicious food for you

Su Han squinted and nodded solemnly: "Da Shan!"

Xue Lang joked: "second, it's also the most important! It's said that on March 3, those who have unmarried little girls will come out to play. Go and have a look. Maybe you can meet your sweetheart and solve your bachelor problem! "

Su Han heard this and quickly asked, "will all unmarried young ladies come?"

Xue Lang's heart moved. He could not help but take a close look at Su Han's eyes. However, his facial paralysis was really a natural protective color, which could not be seen at all. "It's said that this is a good opportunity for you to take off the bill. Don't miss it if you pass by."

Su Han nodded solemnly.

Xue Lang was surprised: "Heng Yu, do you have a goal? Are you going to meet me on March third? "

Su Han's face turned red and he didn't say a word. However, it was about that his face was too thin. I'm sorry. Take a look at Xue Lang's facial paralysis and solemnly said, "I'll go down and wash my face first."

After that, he turned around and left without waiting for Xue Lang to speak, leaving Xue Lang laughing in a dull voice --

this boy is still shy! However, Su Han, who eats food and makes fun of her, has a sweetheart. She just doesn't know which family she is! I really want to know!

Xue Lang made fun of Su Han and let him go. He asked him to gather all the servants at home and do a big cleaning! In the ancient times when there was no vaccine, the means of epidemic prevention was relatively backward. At this time, Chang'an city could be malaria. Du Ruhui, who was in the famous plot, died of malaria.

However, at that time, in the families of high officials and nobles, pools and artificial lakes were almost indispensable. There were many mosquitoes in the places where there was water. In order to repel mosquitoes, Xue Lang asked Su Han for advice. He made a lot of mosquito repellent flowers and plants by the water, and the courtyard was also arranged in the same way. Even the potted plants in the room also cultivated many mosquito repellent flowers and plants, and tried every means to drive them away Mosquitoes.

Up and down the busy day, the next day is March 3. On this day, the main roads in Chang'an City were sprinkled with water to suppress dust, and the streets were decorated with lights.Early in the morning, people came to the palace. Xue Lang was really going to attend the Royal picnic. Su Han was inconvenient to follow, so he went back to his uncle in law. Poor Jiang Lin was not free today and was still training in the army.

Before leaving, Xue Lang also told Su Han in a wordy way: "Heng Yu, if you like a little girl, remember to be smart and ask for someone to help you get married!"

Su Han blushed and nodded solemnly. With a majestic and majestic manner, he was accompanied by two or three to join the Su family.

When Xue Lang was stunned, he couldn't help laughing -

Where is going to see a beautiful woman? This is the posture of going to war!

Laughing and shaking his head, Xue Lang got into the carriage and went to the lotus garden. As soon as I arrived at Furong garden, I saw Ru GUI and others at the door. Seeing Xue Lang's carriage, I immediately met him: "I have seen my son-in-law. I have been ordered by the princess to wait here for the emperor's son-in-law here. Please follow the slave."

Xue Lang nodded with a smile and said, "please lead the way forward."

There are too many people in the lotus garden today. The carriage can't get in at all, so we can only get off at the door. Xue Lang with people along with Ru GUI to go inside. In the lotus garden, beside the Qujiang pool and in the good places, there are built barriers. There are women's skirts as curtains, which are placed on the branches for shelter. The people of Tang dynasty like gorgeous colors. Among the trees, there are colorful skirts, accompanied by bursts of crisp songs and laughter. What a lively scene.

If GUI took Xue Lang to a roadblock and said in a low voice: "the prince in law, the princess is in it, and the son-in-law goes in."

Come on, take over the food box. Inside the barrier was a screen. In front of the screen, Princess Pingyang, dressed in blue and blue, sat down on the couch. In front of her was a short table with some snacks and food on it.

"Jianling!"

Hearing Xue Lang's voice, Princess Pingyang turned back and gave him a faint smile and said, "coming? Let's take a seat first. It's still early for the sage to leave the palace. Let's have a rest first. "
