Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 392 Rumors
Chang'an City tried to grow sweet potatoes for the first time, and harvested more than [-] kilograms of sweet potatoes!This is a bountiful harvest, a big bountiful harvest!The second day after the sage received the report, he issued an imperial edict to spread the good news to the whole world!

Following the issuance of the imperial edict, Xue Lang was also promoted!The title has not changed, nor has the official position, the promotion is the rank of the loose rank, and he is promoted to Doctor Yinqing Guanglu from the third rank.With the promotion, there are also a large number of rewards.

Such an official rank is not considered high and powerful in the court, but Xue Lang is only 26 years old this year. With his age, coupled with his official position and title, he can be called a real young talent.

However, this young talent has already become Princess Pingyang's future son-in-law. There is not even a mistress in charge in the house. If he wants to communicate, there is no excuse for a while.
Naturally, Xue Lang didn't know the inside story. He was very busy, busy directing people to store sweet potatoes, arranging people from the vermicelli workshop to start making vermicelli.At the same time, he has to dig out the sweet potatoes grown in his own farm and make vermicelli.

Xue Lang kept two hundred catties of sweet potatoes grown in his own field and hid them in the cellar. Half of the rest was kept for making vermicelli, and the other half was distributed to Buqu's family. Even if the days are getting better, there should be no need for his subsidies until there is a catastrophe in the future.

Xue Lang's behavior made the trilogy feel very grateful to him, but whenever he went to the fields, people in the village, no matter men, women, old or young, would sincerely and respectfully salute him when they saw him, thanking him for his benevolence.

Xue Lang was helpless, but he couldn't tell.The population of his family is simple, and the expenses are not big.It is his responsibility to take care of their families so that everyone has no worries.If he couldn't even take care of his family members, how could anyone really be willing to work hard for him.All this was done just to keep my conscience from being disturbed.

After Xue Lang finished working on her house, Princess Pingyang also came back from Renzhi Palace. She also dug up the sweet potatoes on her farm, and instead of asking Xue Lang to make vermicelli for her, she went directly to the house that now belongs to the Shaofu Supervisor. The vermicelli workshop, waiting for the vermicelli workshop to make it for her.

Xue Lang understood her intentions, she was setting rules for the future, so she didn't say anything.Returning from the field to the city, it was not time for meal, but Xue Lang was a bit hungry, so he asked Changjian: "Which restaurant is better in the city? Let's go and eat something first."

"Here."

Xue Lang came out on horseback today, Changjian led the horse, and the two went to West Market together.If it is said that the delicious food in Chang'an City is the West Market, there are many Hu people here, and the Hu people make good cakes. There are not a few Tang people who like to eat Hu cakes, so there are many people who like to eat in the West Market.Therefore, most of the restaurants with some skills are opened in West Market.This is the first time for Xue Lang to eat out, so Chang Jian naturally wants to take him to famous and well-known places.

Changjian took Xue Lang to the best restaurant in West Market.This restaurant actually has private seats, and the decoration is not bad.Xue Lang was wearing an ordinary linen round-neck gown, wrapped in a black cape. It was a hot day, and the burlap was better at absorbing sweat than silk, so it was comfortable to wear.After ordering three signature dishes and cakes, under the guidance of Xiao Er, he entered the private seat and waited for the dishes to be served. Chang Jian asked in a low voice, "Da Lang, do you want wine?"

That's right, restaurants these days only sell food, and if you want wine, you have to go to the wine shop next door to buy it yourself.The two are separate.Xue Lang waved his hand: "No need."

How could the wine outside be comparable to the wine at his house, so, unless necessary, he would not drink outside.That's not enjoyment, that's abusing the taste buds.

There seemed to be someone eating in the next door, and the sound of changing cups could be heard from time to time.Today is a holiday, the business of the restaurants is pretty good, Xue Lang wanted to eat in the private seating, but just now he had to wait downstairs for a while to get a seat.

"Ugh!"

"Why is Brother Wang sighing?"

"After drinking the wine from the Changping County Duke's Mansion, it's really disappointing to drink these again!"

From the sound, I knew it was two young men.Hearing about himself, Xue Lang listened carefully, the voice was not familiar, and with his memory, it was obvious that the two did not know each other.

"Oh? I heard that Duke Xue lived a secluded life and didn't like to socialize with others. Brother Wang actually came to visit him?"

The man called Brother Wang said: "I don't know, brother Liu Xian, it's not me, it's my uncle. My uncle works in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. A few days ago, the sage issued an edict to recruit Xue Lang as the son-in-law of Princess Pingyang of An Guo, Xue Lang I once gave wine as a congratulatory gift at the Ministry of Civil Affairs. My uncle shared a small jar. When I was a guest at my uncle’s house, I was lucky enough to taste it. After I tasted it, I realized what it was called! It can’t be called good wine, but it’s just sour water! "

"Is it really that delicious?"

"If there is even half a lie, I won't be able to get into Xin Duzhi's couch for a month."

"Na Xin knows how to swear, my brother believes you!"

That younger brother Liu Xian's voice was rather solemn.Xue Lang couldn't help laughing when he heard it, the two dudes, this swearing is also unique!

Brother Liu Xian said: "Brother Wang, when it comes to the future Concubine Xue and Princess An Guo Pingyang, the latest talk in the city, have you heard of it?"

Brother Wang hurriedly asked: "Little brother was pressured by his uncle to study at home today and never came out to play. What's new in the city? Brother Liu Xian, hurry up and tell Brother Yu."

Liu Xiandi's voice was lowered a bit, with a hint of mystery. If Xue Lang hadn't listened attentively, he would not have heard it——

"A few days ago, after the edict was issued that the sage recruited the Duke of Changping County to be the consort of Princess Pingyang of Anguo, some people joked that the marriage of these two people is really a perfect match."

"Princess An Guo Pingyang leads the army as a woman, and she has made great achievements in battle. Although Xue Lang has some talents, it is not a match made in heaven, right? Xue Lang is too poor to be a princess."

That brother Wang is quite upright.Liu Xiandi sneered: "Who told you this! This perfect match means something else!"

"Please ask my virtuous brother to clear up the doubts."

Brother Wang humbly asks for advice.Brother Liu Xian smiled triumphantly, and said in a low voice: "When Princess Pingyang was young, she married Qianniu Chai Shao of the former Eastern Palace. On the wedding night, her husband died suddenly. The name Kefu was very famous, have you heard of it? "

"Brother Yu has heard about this matter, and my mother also said that she used this matter to educate the sisters at home."

"Then Xue Lang's background, have you heard about it?"

"I once heard from my uncle that Duke Changping was naturalized from a foreign country, and that all relatives in the family have been persecuted, and he is the only one left."

Brother Liu Xian laughed and said: "These two, the woman Fang Kefu is young and widowed, the man's six relatives are cut off, and there is only one person left in the whole family. The sky and the earth will perish. Isn't this a perfect match?"

"puff……"

Brother Wang sprayed: "This... who is so damaged? So... so..."

Brother Liu Xian said with a smile: "Although it hurts, it must be said to be appropriate, right?"

Brother Wang laughed again and again: "It's really appropriate! This... Who said this?"

"I don't know! My little brother also heard about it during the spring outing a few days ago."

"Oh, it seems that Brother Yu should come out and walk around more in the future, otherwise, he will miss so many anecdotes in Beijing!"

"Exactly, without Brother Wang, going out to play is much more boring."

……

Next, the two changed the topic, and chatted happily about which one in Pingkang Fang knew that the song was good, and which one knew that the taste was more moving on the couch, and the words were quite unbearable.

Xue Lang sat quietly, the shopkeeper brought the dishes, and finished eating quietly, and he was not in a hurry to leave after eating, and when he heard that the two boys next to him were about to leave, he got up and walked out of the private seat, did not leave, just stood At the entrance of the elegant seat, seeing the two boys next door came out, he smiled at him, and even cupped his hands deliberately, before turning around and leaving.

Among the two boys, one obviously knew him. When he met him head-on, his face turned pale with fright. He was a little drunk, but he woke up immediately.The other person's eyes were drunk, seeing that he was not leaving, he asked puzzledly: "Brother Wang, why are you so panicked?"

The young man called Brother Wang pointed at Liu Xiandi with a mournful face: "You have hurt me so badly today! Do you know who came out of the private seat next door just now?"

Brother Liu Xian turned his head to look at Xue Lang's back, and said with a smile, "I don't know! Could it be that Brother Wang knows him? That is the man of the He family. He is so handsome, and his demeanor is heartbreaking. If Brother Wang knows him, why don't you introduce him to me?"

The expression on Brother Wang's face became even more bitter, and even his mouth was filled with bitterness: "The one just now is Duke Changping."

"Mr. Changping?! Who... poof!"

Brother Liu Xian finally came to his senses, and sobered up: "Just... just now, was he from Judgment of Heaven?"

"boom"--

Brother Wang finally couldn't bear to do it, he gave Liu Xiandi a slap on the head, and said with a wry smile: "I was hurt by you today! Talking behind people's backs was heard by others! Alas, take care, brother, I have to go back to receive the punishment !"

"Hey... Brother Wang, Brother Wang, wait for me!"

The two went downstairs one after another.
