Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 269
At dusk, the team returning to Beijing finally arrived at Chang'an City——

"Sister!"

Compared with the last time I came to Chang'an, the scene was much quieter.Only Qin Wang and his wife were waiting outside the city gate to welcome Princess Pingyang and her party back to Beijing.Xue Lang, as a member of the princess's mansion, naturally wants to follow the princess to meet the Qin Wang couple——

"I will pay my respects to King Qin and Princess Qin."

"Excuse me, please get up."

In the future, the queen of the ages, the current Princess Qin is wearing a veiled hat, and her face can't be seen clearly at a glance.Xue Lang is a man, no matter how curious he is, he can't stare at people, so he naturally bows his head to salute.

Princess Pingyang said: "It's cold, you and I are a family, why go out of the city to meet us? Go home."

Princess Qin said: "Sister hasn't been back to Chang'an for a long time, and I miss her very much. Come to welcome Sister, and talk about how we miss her. Besides, Sister returns to Beijing, why not welcome her? Sister, please."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they each got into the carriage.After entering the city gate, Princess Pingyang ordered someone to pass on the message, ordering her officials to return home without restraint.

Su Han had nowhere to go, and he didn't want to go to the princess mansion, so he could only go to the county mansion with his good friends Xue Lang and Jiang Lin.The county government had already received the news that Xue Lang and Jiang Lin had returned to Beijing.

The main gate of the Duke's Mansion was wide open, and Su Siniang was all dressed up, and she had brought people to wait at the gate early, waiting to welcome Xue Lang and her husband.

"My lady, Dalang and Erlang's motorcade has already passed Zhuque Avenue, and they are almost home!"

"Okay, let's go explore again."

Su Siniang asked Ah Chen to send out a few servants to report back after passing a mile, while she waited with others.As the boys were talking back and forth one after another, Xue Lang's guard of honor could already be seen from a distance——

Since he had his trilogy, Xue Lang sent back the people from Weiwei Temple, and all the guards were selected from his own trilogy.Usually, it has never been used in Weizeguan, and it is only after coming to Chang'an that the guards of honor are opened.

"My little sister welcomes my brother back home and welcomes my husband home. I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you and your husband all right?"

At the gate, Xue Lang jumped out of the carriage, and Su Ranran immediately led the servants to salute.Jiang Lin's eyes wished to stick directly to his daughter-in-law, the smile on his face was so sweet.

Xue Lang said: "Siblings and sisters are free of courtesy. The whole family doesn't need to be so polite. It's cold outside. Everyone, go back quickly. By the way, this is Su Han and Su Hengyu. He is a good friend of Ah Lin and I. They also live in the mansion together. Please ask your younger siblings to make arrangements. .”

"Here."

Su Siniang blessed Su Han, and Su Han hurriedly returned the gift: "My little brother has met my sister-in-law, I will trouble her from now on!"

That's right!The ages of the three are listed in order, needless to say that Xue Lang is the oldest, followed by Jiang Lin, and Su Han is one year younger than Jiang Lin, so they can only be called sister-in-law.

When a group of people enter the mansion, the things they bring will naturally be packed by servants. This is the advantage of being an official in a feudal society. There is no need to worry about chores, and the servants will take care of them.

Xue Lang looked at his home——

Compared with the last time he left Chang'an, this family seemed much more popular.Courtyards, corridors, everything that should be furnished has been placed, and it is no longer the deserted look of the past.

Xue Lang nodded in satisfaction.

Su Ranran has asked someone to prepare dinner, which are all fresh and refreshing dishes, nothing too greasy.After traveling for many days, I really don't have the appetite to eat any oily dishes, but the porridge and side dishes are more delicious.

After dinner, Xue Lang said: "After traveling for so many days, everyone is tired. Ah Lin and his siblings have been separated for a long time, and they have something to complain about, so let's not talk about anything today, and everyone washes up and rests. Bar."

Jiang Lin nodded in agreement, making Xue Lang laugh, Su Han's envious and jealous eyes, and Su Ranran's delicate face red!
They each went back to their rooms. Hot water was prepared in the room. Xue Lang took a good soak in the hot water. He only felt the soreness in his muscles when he was lying on the bed. He even felt that the bed was shaking when he was lying down. It was because the carriage was sitting too much. sequelae.

After walking on the road for more than half a month, it is now December, and the Chinese New Year will be in a few days.Thinking about it, even if the sage had other arrangements for him, he would have to wait until the resumption of the court on New Year's Eve to make arrangements.

After the misunderstanding with Her Royal Highness was resolved, Xue Lang was not in a hurry to resign.He used to be anxious to resign because he was angry, but now he has unexplainable thoughts about people, which is a bit contradictory.Xue Lang secretly thought, if he continued to serve as a counselor, it would be convenient for him to communicate with Her Highness the Princess.Otherwise, without this relationship, how would a man like him visit the widowed princess' mansion?Could it be that you recommend yourself as a face-to-face!
Enough is enough!Xue Lang felt that there was no one else in his way of thinking!It's hard for him to go astray. It's really not an easy thing to pursue his sweetheart in ancient times.If you are not careful, you will give and receive privately, and it may ruin the two of you.

Xue Lang himself is fine, but he really likes the princess, so naturally he doesn't want to hurt the princess' reputation because of his recklessness.In Xue Lang's view, if you really like her, you must respect the other person's personality and emotions, which is actually the basis of any relationship.

After thinking wildly for a while, I don't know when I fell asleep. When I woke up, the sun was already high.Although because of the high grades and the fact that he came to Chang'an with Princess Pingyang, the inns along the way all offer the best hospitality, but the conditions of the inns are limited, so naturally they are not as comfortable as at home.No wonder he slept deeply and got up late.

When Xue Lang got up, Lamei and Dongzhi, under the guidance of Hexiang, had already arranged the things brought back from Weize Pass.After Xue Lang got up, he immediately came to help him wash up.

After washing up and using breakfast, Su Siniang, accompanied by Jiang Lin, came to talk to him.First, give Xue Lang the accounts for the period when Xue Lang was not in the mansion.

Xue Lang nodded while listening, and said after listening: "Brother and sister, although the population in my mansion is simple, the so-called family affairs have always been complicated. Please help me take care of the mansion for a long time, thank you!"

Su Siniang said: "Brother is being polite, but my younger sister has limited ability, so I can only do what I do now. I just hope that my elder brother will find a good match soon and marry a sister-in-law, so that my younger sister can escape."

Being urged to get married on the first day back to Chang'an... This feeling is also drunk!
Xue Lang laughed, and quickly changed the subject: "Siblings, my family members, have you made arrangements?"

Su Siniang's face turned serious, and she said, "Little sister is about to talk to elder brother about this."

Xue Lang followed suit and said, "Sisters, please tell me."

Su Siniang said: "Brother, the family of Buqu, and the younger sister have obeyed the arrangement of the elder brother and arranged all of them to Yongyetian. The days when these people gather together are in autumn and winter, and with the assistance of Princess Anguo Pingyang's mansion, the house has already been roughly settled. Arrangements have been made, and a batch of food and clothing has been urgently purchased. However, before the grain harvest next year, these newcomers will not have enough harvest to fill their stomachs, and the government needs to provide food and clothing. In addition, grain seeds and farm tools need to be provided in the spring of the coming year , animal power to plow the fields, etc. These are the biggest expenses in the coming year! In addition to the servants in the mansion, forgive my younger sister, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support only the elder brother's salary. How to solve it? Please tell the elder brother."
