Heaven and earth die out How could someone use such a nickname!
Even if he is not keen on social intercourse, Xue Lang also knows that there will be a lot of rumors about himself in Chang'an city. Xue Lang did not dare to say that he had made great contributions. However, in Chang'an City, if he said that a saint's family member was prosperous, he was afraid that no one would have any opinion.
His father-in-law, the sage, really treated him very well. And Xue Lang is out of thin air. If he is fond of social intercourse, others will always know him. However, he is not keen on social intercourse at all.
It's not surprising to be curious about people like him. Xue Lang didn't find it strange that there would be rumors like this and that. Human nature is so. So Xue Lang was not angry at all.
During the two years when his parents died one after another, and Xue Qing and he were ignorant of the world, he could say that he had seen the world's coldness and warmth, and had seen many kinds of malice under the sweet sugar coated package of ”for your good” and ”we are relatives”, as well as how ugly people can be for the sake of interests.
Heaven and earth die out Such a nickname, compared with what he has experienced, is too childish! If someone says it in front of him next time, he will come up and seriously express his opinions --
this nickname is too bad to hear! Not at all!
forgot to make complaints about it today. It was a mistake. Xue Lang thought with regret.
However, Xue Lang's regret will not stay too long, because there are always things that will make him forget this trivial matter to him. Yes, as soon as I got home on my horse, I was stopped by the official of the Ministry of rites before I entered the house --
”Mr. Xue, please stay!”
It was the yuan wailang of the Ministry of rites, surnamed Zhou: ”I have met Xue Jun Gong.”
”Councilor Zhou wailang is very polite. Stop me. What can I do for you
Councilor Zhou wailang said with a wry smile, ”to be honest, the magistrate has been waiting outside the county government for many days. Today is the first time I met the county magistrate. The county magistrate is really valuable and the personnel are busy.”
Hearing that others have been waiting for him for so many days, Xue Lang felt a little embarrassed and bowed his hand and said, ”I'm sorry, I'm too busy these days. I've been waiting for you for a long time. What can I do for you? Why don't you let the porter inform me? I'll wait for you
Councilor Zhou wailang said: ”the lower officials know that the county magistrate has been busy recently, and it is not easy to do so. After the porter's inquiry, the Shangguan has made an account, and he needs to inform the county magistrate in person.”
”I see. However, since I'm at the door of my house, I'll go in and sit down first. To be honest, I've been busy outside all day and I'm very tired. Let's go in and sit down and talk about it. ”
Welcome people to the house, also busy to change a dust clothes, two people sit in the living room. As soon as he sat down, someone immediately brought up the cooked mung bean soup. Xue Lang said with a smile, ”summer heat is heavy. Drink a bowl of mung bean soup to cool your thirst and get rid of the heat.”. Councillor, please
”Thank you, sheriff.”
They were talking while drinking soup. Only then did councilor Zhou wailang explain his intention.
Xue Lang's wedding to Princess Pingyang is scheduled for the spring of the next year. People from the Ministry of rites asked Xue Lang when he would have time to practice the etiquette process of the wedding.
