Settle Down In Tang Dynasty

Princess Pingyang held up her chopsticks and glanced at the king of Qi.

"Pa" a sound, the sage's chopsticks, heavy on the table, looking at the king of Qi: "Yuanji! Can't you stop eating yet

The king of Qi's face was angry and indignant, and said reluctantly, "father, my son is just telling a joke with Xue Shilang."

Princess Pingyang put down the small bowl in her hand, and her expression was indifferent: "I apologize to my son-in-law!"

The king of Qi was startled. Huoran got up, his chest heaved, and his face was full of disbelief: "elder sister! I am a saint's legitimate son, elder sister's younger brother, and you asked me to apologize to a minister? "

Princess Pingyang did not move, her expression did not see a trace of change, still so insipid, word by word, but the voice: "Youyang is my son-in-law!"

The king of Qi snorted and said haughtily, "you have not married yet. You can't count it!"

"Asshole!"

The sage drank violently and threw his chopsticks directly at the king of Qi: "where can you learn your etiquette and rules? What is your elder sister's reputation? Do you regard my edict as nothing? "

The king of Qi clapped in his heart and knelt down in a hurry: "father, don't be angry, son has no such intention!"

"But that's what you say and do!"

The sage's face was full of anger and glared at the king of Qi, and he felt a little resentful of iron and steel: "the child LIULANG still knows that the elder loves the young, but you are a respectable man, but you don't know what etiquette is?"

This is a bit of a curse. The king of Qi's face was flushed. He didn't dare to retort, so he had to bow his head to lead the training. Even though Xue Lang's EQ is low, he knows that he can't go on like this, otherwise, a good thing will become a bad thing.

Previous experience told him that the king of Qi could not do well in this matter, but he, as a client, would not be of any benefit. After all, the sage and the king of Qi are father and son. He is separated from each other.

It's not that Xue Lang is a villain, but that there are very few people in the world who can really help others but not their relatives. In his heart, he can't do it.

So Xue Lang straightened his clothes, got up from his seat and went to the center of the main hall. He said in a loud voice, "please calm down! This is also because of me. Although the minister is stupid, I don't know where the joke of the king of Qi is. However, when I look at the words of the sage and the princess, I feel that the words of the king of Qi are insulting to my servants? "

The face of the saint appeared embarrassed, did not immediately speak, as if weighing words. However, Princess Pingyang knew him very well. Knowing that he said so, there must be a reason for it. She said with tacit understanding: "I know that Youyang is broad-minded and will not take Yuanji's rash words to heart. If it is wrong, it is wrong. How can you act recklessly because you are the son of a saint? How to let the world treat me like Li Tang? What is the reputation of a father? "

Princess Highness has begun again! What she said was obviously an apology for the king of Qi, but in fact she was standing on the side of the truth, squeezing the sage and trying to let go of the space of the king of Qi.

At the same time, Xue Lang felt warm for the protection of Princess Pingyang. On the other hand, he could not help but want to point root wax for the sage. These children, one or two are not easy, it is not easy for a saint to be a father. If his future children are the same Think about it and feel tired!

Xue Lang thought so in his mind, but on his face he said with a bitter smile: "thank you, princess. However, in my opinion, the words of king Qi are praises to me, not insults."

Even though Princess Pingyang knew that Xue Lang wanted to smooth things out, she didn't expect him to say so. She couldn't help but look at him strangely. The sage looked at him in a daze. Even the king of Qi, who was just angry, couldn't help looking at him with a look of "are you a fool?". The king of Qin focused on soy sauce and looked at Xue Lang with curiosity and expectation in his eyes.

The sage said, "Youyang, I know that you are broad-minded and do not care about Yuanji's mind. However, there is no need to belittle yourself."

Xue Lang laughed bitterly and said, "it's not true that I am a saint, but I am growing up in a different environment from that of the Tang Dynasty. A talented and virtuous man once said that technique is close to Tao and art can communicate with God. In florists, cooking is a very popular skill that can be learned by both men and women. In the case of men, especially women, they will get more points

As soon as the words came out, all the people present were shocked! Princess Pingyang glanced at Xue Lang with deep meaning. However, Xue Lang didn't understand the meaning of the princess's eye at all, and he also laughed brightly at people.

King Qin looked around, did not speak, but with a smile in his eyes. The king of Qi looked at Xue Lang in surprise. The sage was surprised and asked, "is there such a custom?"

Xue Lang said: "I don't dare to deceive the sage. I'm sorry to say that when I was young, my appearance looked very ordinary. My first mother was worried that I would become a bachelor in the future, and I couldn't find a mate, so I actively taught him cooking skills. So... "

Xue Lang stopped, boldly raised his head and looked directly at the sage. His eyes were bright and sincere: "in my opinion, praising a good cook is not an insult, but a compliment. The minister's heart, has been happy and grateful, fortunately minister is able to cook, otherwise, even on the way back home did not die tired, bitter death, will also starve to death. In a sense, without cooking, there would be no minister today. Therefore, thank you for the praise of the king of Qi. I'm ashamed of you! "The king of Qi was at a loss. He did not say what he was angry about. He avoided Xue Langli and said a little guilty: "however, someone once said to me that a gentleman is far away from cooking.". Now that he has been naturalized in the Tang Dynasty, he should also do as the Romans do. "

Xue Lang solemnly said, "thank the king of Qi for his kindness. However, the cooking skill is of great help to me and saved me in time of crisis. How can I face my heart if I don't even dare to admit my kindness? If you can't admit the real idea in your heart because of other people's eyes and comments, what's the interest and courage to live in such a life? Although I am not talented, I also want to be magnanimous! "

"Good!"

The king of Qin cheered first and appreciated Xue Lang's eyes. The sage also applauded with a smile on his face to express his appreciation for Xue Lang. Princess Pingyang looked at Xue Lang with a smile in her eyes. Although she said nothing, her joy could be easily seen from her eyebrows and corners of her eyes.

Xue Lang bowed his hands to thank him, then turned to the king of Qi and continued: "what's more, the gentleman is far away from cooking If I remember correctly, it must have been quoted from the book of rites, and then when Yasheng admonished King Xuan of Qi, he quoted it, right? "

The king of Qi didn't answer. The king of Qin already said, "it is."

In the era of the forum, Xue Lang had consulted the relevant materials in detail for the sentence "the gentleman is far away from the kitchen" and "the mouth gun". Therefore, Xue Lang knew the source and allusions clearly.

Xue Lang said with a smile: "it is written in the book of rites that a gentleman is far away from the kitchen, where there are practices like Qi and blood. When Yasheng met King Xuan of Qi, he quoted this sentence to admonish King Xuan of Qi to practise benevolence. For the interpretation of this sentence, Han Dynasty Jia Taifu also said a sentence, so far away cooking, benevolence is also. Therefore, in my opinion, this sentence represents the heart and attitude of benevolence and righteousness. It does not mean that any gentleman should not be close to the kitchen or be contaminated with kitchen affairs. "

"Good words

The sage clapped his hands and said with a smile, "it's reasonable and well founded to quote scriptures. The argument of Youyang is excellent."

Xue Lang arched his hands in embarrassment and said in half truth: "thank you for your praise. Cough I dare not conceal the saints. In fact, there is a reason why I remember so firmly and speak so fluently. "
