Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 394

Pingyang Princess Mansion, in the main hall of the living room, so to speak, in the empty hall, the father and son were ushered in by a servant. After sitting down in the guest seat, the servant said politely: "The princess will come later, please wait a moment!"

"Yes, my servant."

"Don't dare."

The servant took his leave politely, and after a while, two cups of sour plum soup were served. The servant said: "The weather is very hot, please drink sour plum soup to dispel the heat."

"Thank you."

"Please enjoy."

In the large hall, the furnishings are not luxurious, on the contrary, compared with the identity of Princess Pingyang, it can be described as simple, but very elegant and unique.The father and son drank the sour plum soup slowly, and just after taking two sips, they heard the servant outside singing: "The princess is here!"

The father and son got up quickly, and saw a young woman in a dark red dress coming out from the right and sitting on the main seat.The father and son hurriedly saluted: "Cao Min Chai Guang pays homage to Her Royal Highness Princess An Guo Pingyang."

"Uncle, please take a seat."

"Here."

Everyone sat down, and Chai and his son sat upright.Princess Pingyang said indifferently: "Let's be looser."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After each sat down, Princess Pingyang said: "I haven't seen you for many years, is everything all right, uncle? Is this Ah Tong?"

When Chai Tong heard that Princess Pingyang still called him uncle as always, and did not rely on his status just because he became a princess, he felt relieved, and his expression became more and more determined, and said: "His Royal Highness asks, although I have been sick occasionally these years, but in the end I have survived. Hearing that His Highness is going back to Chang'an and will be getting married soon, I brought Ah Tong here to greet you."

Princess Pingyang: "Thank you, uncle."

Along with the greeting card, there is also a list of gifts. Princess Pingyang read it, pondered in her heart, and looked at the young man who came with the uncle of the Chai family——

In her early twenties, with slender eyebrows and narrow phoenix eyes...Princess Pingyang paused, her eyebrows and eyes were quite similar to Chai Shao.Such a pair of eyebrows and eyes for a man from the Chai family.

Princess Pingyang said: "Is Ah Tong wearing a crown? Can I get married?"

Chai Tong got up quickly and saluted Princess Pingyang respectfully, his face was flushed red, but he couldn't speak a word.Uncle Chai hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness please ask, the dog has already been crowned and married, and already has a son under his knee."

A smile appeared on Princess Pingyang's face: "You don't need to be restrained, sit down. That's great! A harmonious family, nothing could be better."

Uncle Chai laughed and said, "The sage has already recruited a son-in-law for His Highness, and the grass-roots wish His Highness and his son-in-law a happy family."

Princess Pingyang smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you uncle. Speaking of which, what is your plan for coming to Beijing this time?"

Uncle Chai lamented, and said: "Your Highness Lao asked, and to tell you the truth, this trip to Beijing also meant that fallen leaves returned to their roots. I think it's because I am old, and dreaming back in the middle of the night, I can't help but often think of the years when I lived in Daxing City when I was young. Jiangnan In the water town, the humidity is heavy, and the old people can't stand it!"

With a respectful expression, he quietly waited for Princess Pingyang's next words.Princess Pingyang's tone was the same as before, so flat that there was no trace of emotion leaked out: "Uncle, did you move back with your family or...?"

Uncle Chai hurriedly said: "Dalang, Erlang, and Sanlang are still in Jiangnan, only my old wife and I came to Chang'an with Ah Tong."

After finishing speaking, he waited quietly for Princess Pingyang's reaction, almost holding his breath.The high-ranking Princess Pingyang just looked at Uncle Chai quietly without saying a word, and she could see beads of sweat on his forehead, obviously under a lot of pressure.

Just when Uncle Chai was worried, thinking that Princess Pingyang would not agree, he calmly said, "Good. Chang'an is getting more and more prosperous, and it's the place where uncle's ancestors lived. It's good to come back."

Uncle Chai was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you for your care, Your Highness."

Princess Pingyang said: "Pingyang still calls you Uncle, and it is right to take care of you once or twice. Living in Chang'an is not easy. After Uncle returns to Chang'an, if you have anything, you can come to the mansion to find me."

Uncle Chai said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, I dare not bother Your Highness, Ah Tong is a man, and I, Chai, belong to a family of generals. Ah Tong has practiced bow and horse since he was a child, and his family intends to let him join the army to find a way out. "

Princess Pingyang looked at Chai Tongtong, and she was indeed strong and tall, and said: "The Chai family has a long history, and enlisting in the army can really show its talents."

As he said that, he actually took Chai Tong to the school on the spot.Although Chai Tong was overwhelmed by Princess Pingyang's aura, he was still able to talk eloquently when it came to his strengths.

After asking for a while, Princess Pingyang nodded, and after pondering for a while, said: "A Tong is worthy of being the son of a general. He is quite skilled in military affairs and has his own unique features. If Ah Tong is willing, I can recommend him to the Sixteen Guards of Nan Ya."

Chai Tong blushed with excitement, there was no reluctance.Uncle Chai hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Your Highness, I have not yet thanked Your Highness."

Chai Tong hurriedly saluted: "Cao Min thanked Your Highness, thank you for your recommendation."

Princess Pingyang smiled and said: "No need to thank you, I also think you are quite talented, and I can't bear to waste talents. I hope you will work hard in the army, and don't let me down."

"Here!"

Chai Tong answered loudly.

The two purposes of the visit have been achieved, and after a few more words, Chai and his son took the opportunity to leave.Princess Pingyang glanced at Chuxue beside her, and said, "Chuxue, send uncle off for me."

"Here."

Chuxue came down immediately, and politely said to Uncle Chai, "Master Chai, please."

Seeing that Chuxue had been following Princess Pingyang all the time, Uncle Chai knew that this was the person in front of Princess Pingyang, so he politely thanked Chuxue for not daring to take advantage of her, and then left the mansion with Chuxue.

Princess Pingyang sat quietly, and was not in a hurry to go back to the backyard. Her eyes flickered and she didn't know what she was thinking. After a while, she said, "Akoo!"

"Slave here!"

A Kou flashed out from behind the screen.Princess Pingyang said: "After the Chai family enters the capital, let's take a look."

"Here!"

A Kou took the order.Princess Pingyang nodded, got up and went back to the backyard with Mu Xue's support.

Naturally, Xue Lang didn't know what was going on at Princess Pingyang's mansion, and an uninvited guest also came to his mansion——

Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and his colleague Wang Xian came to the door with his nephew to apologize.

Xue Lang's expression was a little weird, and his mood was a little complicated: "Wang Shilang came to the door, and he was full of splendor. However, when I apologize, I don't know where to start?"

In Xue Lang's view, as long as rumors are not taken seriously or responded to, they will naturally dissipate after a long time.So that day, he just frightened the two boys, he didn't take it seriously, and he didn't care too much about it.But now Wang Xian brought someone directly to the door to apologize, which is interesting!Xue Lang looked at the uninvited uncle and nephew inquiringly, did they come to mess things up or did they really come to apologize?

Wang Xian said with a serious face, "Two days ago, my nephew, who was worthless, offended the princess and Xue Shilang verbally, and was bumped into by Xue Shilang face to face, and criticized behind his back. It's not strict, let Xue Shilang see a joke! Although someone is not talented, but my Wang family's reputation for hundreds of years, how can it be ruined by one son! That's why I came to apologize with my bad nephew after I found out , Nizi, don't ask Xue Shilang for your sins yet!"

The little prince got up immediately, and apologized to Xue Lang with shame on his face: "My nephew doesn't know people well, believes in other words, and makes false comments on others. Please wait for servant Xue to let me down!"
