Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 425 Winter Hunt
After the Winter Solstice Festival, the first snow of winter fell in Chang'an. The snow was not heavy, and accompanied by light rain, it was not only muddy, but also colder.The weather was cold, but the cotton goods store named "IKEA" suggested by Xue Lang had a very good business. In just a few days, many cotton beddings were sold.

Every winter, Xue Lang misses the modern times very much.There are inexhaustible vegetables and fruits, only picky eaters don't want to eat, and there will be things that you can't eat.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no smog, the river water was clear, and the drinking water standard could easily be reached. The environment was excellent. However, the lack of supplies and the inconvenience of transportation, these two points alone were enough to make Xue Lang, a time-traveling youth, feel pain. !
But if you wear it all, what else can you do?I can only work hard to make my life better and more comfortable, and for the rest, it all depends on adaptation and accommodation.For a bite to eat, Xue Lang felt that his heart was really broken!

After the winter solstice, before the winter hunt, Ye Qing and Jiang Lin finally came back!
Come back with a big victory!

The saint ordered the south gate to be opened wide, and Prince Jiancheng led all the civil and military officials to welcome him at the south gate.The Suzaku Street is dressed in red and colorful to welcome the returning soldiers.

Naturally, Xue Lang also participated in the welcoming ceremony. He was tall, and standing in the ranks of officials did not prevent him from scrutinizing Jiang Lin and Ye Qing after a long absence——

Jiang Lin's visibly thinner face is much thinner, but his eyes are much more confident than in the past, his expression is firm and steady, because of the change in his demeanor and temperament, he looks more mature than before, and no longer has the youthful feeling of the past.

A man's self-confidence is mostly built by his career.Jiang Lin is very skilled in martial arts, but he is only humble. He used to look a bit ignorant, but now, after going through wars and leading soldiers, he can be regarded as a real man!

You can no longer treat him like a child in the future!
Xue Lang smiled as he watched Jiang Lin step onto the horse, and accepted the compliments and cheers from the crowd. Today's glory belongs to Ye Qing and Jiang Lin. They fought hard with their lives and deserved it!

He was not in a hurry to bid farewell to Jiang Lin, the sage would hold a celebration banquet in Linde Hall, at that time, he should have a drink with Jiang Lin to congratulate him on his return from victory.

I thought so, but because it was a big banquet, there were many courtiers participating, and Ye Qing and Jiang Lin were the protagonists. Ye Qing was a cool guy as always, taciturn and not good at words.

In contrast, Jiang Lin, who kept smiling, seemed more friendly and lively.Xue Lang watched, the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding perhaps because of their cooperation in the battle. Several times, after Ye Qing's silence, it was Jiang Lin who took the initiative to liven up the atmosphere and cooperated quite tacitly.

This can be regarded as an unexpected harvest, right?

Xue Lang was amused watching it, and was happy to watch.

"Big brother, little brother is back! Finally lived up to big brother's expectations and returned victorious!"

Finally, Jiang Lin was able to get away, and when he saw him, he wanted to salute, Xue Lang hurriedly supported him, and said: "There is no need for so many vain courtesy between you and me. This is not the place and timing for talking. Let’s talk again! Come, you and I have a drink, and congratulate you on winning and returning to court!”

"Here! Thank you, big brother, I'll do it first and respect you, little brother!"

After the two brothers had a drink, Jiang Lin was called away to persuade him to drink again——

He was victorious and returned to the court, with military exploits in his body, he was the protagonist of this banquet, and he was also an upstart in everyone's eyes. Whether it was for fun or sincere admiration, he was naturally the focus of the crowd.

The timing is not right, Xue Lang will naturally not hinder Jiang Lin, after thinking for a while, he took the initiative to approach Ye Qing: "Ziming, come, let me toast you, congratulations on your safe return, victory and victory!"

"Thank you Duke Xue!"

Ye Qing raised his wine glass without hesitation, and Xue Lang laughed: "I call you Ziming, but you still call me Duke? Since you and Ah Lin have become good friends, why don't you call me big brother?"

Ye Qing's eyes lit up, she glanced at Xue Lang silently, seeing the sincerity in his words, she quickly changed her words: "Brother Xue, please!"

Xue Lang smiled and clinked glasses with him.Xue Lang only had a drink with him, not because he didn't want to drink more, but because there were already many people respecting Ye Qing and Jiang Lin's wine, and with the two of them drinking, they must be drunk today!It's just that sooner or later, Xue Lang won't add fuel to the flames, well, he thinks it's his brotherhood for the two of them to stand on the sidelines!
After the celebration banquet, Jiang Lin didn't have time to visit him, and the saint ordered the soldiers who returned from victory to participate in this year's winter hunting.Over the years, the purpose of winter hunting is not to enjoy the fun of hunting, but mostly to inspect the troops, so the triumphant troops are often allowed to participate, to boost the morale of the troops and popularize, and to promote the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

Naturally, Dongshou Xue Lang also wanted to participate. He ordered his own trilogy, took the buns and they set off——

In winter, Baozi still showed no signs of trying to conceive, nor did soy milk.This also proves from the side that all four dogs have been transmigrated to change their genes.Thinking about it, he also traveled here together. I don't know how time travel will affect him?Xue Lang was a little nervous!

This year's winter hunting was held in the paddock outside Chang'an City, and the ministers in Chang'an, both civil and military, participated.The mighty team went out and walked for a day before reaching the paddock.

Everything has been prepared in the paddock, except for the prince and some ministers staying in Chang'an, everything is here.However, with so many people, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, which showed that the organization was good.

As soon as Xue Lang arrived, someone came to guide him to the designated location, and ordered the trilogy to set up a tent. He let the dogs out, and took a brush to brush the fur of the four dogs.

"Youyang!"

Next to the site assigned to Xue Lang was Pei Ju. Seeing that Xue Lang was his neighbor, the old man was very happy, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect to be neighbors with You Yang this year. It seems that this year I will be lucky!"

Xue Lang smiled and cupped his hands: "If you don't mind Mr. Pei, after harvesting the prey, you can bring it over and let the officials marinate it for you before roasting it."

Pei Ju said happily: "Great kindness! This old man has the audacity to bother you!"

Xue Lang's skill in hunting is not good. Although he has been practicing his bow skills, his hit rate is not good, let alone shooting live animals. Therefore, hunting has to be played step by step. Just pretending to be a number———

Of course, he is the one who is pretending to be a fool, not the dogs!Cover your face!
Xue Lang was already used to the routine, and when the hunting started, a team was left to guard him, and the rest of them spontaneously took their tools and went into the mountain with a tacit understanding.

Xue Lang wiped his face, and said to Mantou: "Mantou, go hunting by yourself, be careful when entering the mountain, don't be accidentally injured!"

"Wang!"

Mantou let out a cry, and led its little buddy into the mountain.

Pei Ju was old and only let his subordinates go hunting. He and Xue Lang stayed at the foot of the mountain, watched Xue Lang fiddle with the seasoning, and said with a smile: "It is said that you can't get tired of fine food, and you can't get tired of fine meat. The old man thinks You Yang is quite fond of it." Sanwei."

Xue Lang said: "Mr. Pei has won the award. In fact, I am not a picky eater. It is just a habit and taste I have developed in the past. I have brought people back, and my heart has returned. However, my mouth has not followed, and I still need to get used to it."

Pei Ju laughed and agreed: "You Yang said so, it is true!"

The two chatted for a while, and after a while, Moqu brought down prey, most of which were small prey. Although they were not big in size, they were all roasted and delicious. Obviously, Moqu all knew the master's taste.

Pei Ju looked at Xue Lang's cooking with a smile, and asked with a thoughtful expression, "Are these the parts of Youyang?"

Xue Lang nodded.Pei Ju said: "The old man looks at these boys, their actions, sitting and lying are all extraordinary. I heard that Youyang is also good at training soldiers. I think this is true."
