C12

While Lady Liu and Mr. Xue were chatting, Princess Pingyang picked up her dagger, opened its sheath and took out her dagger.

Dagger only took a glance at it and threw it to the side. However, the sheath had caught her attention, "This material for making a sheath is quite special. I wonder what it is? It seems to be made from the same material as Youyang's bag. It seems to be a type of cloth? "

Youyang didn't know how to react when he was called. Cough, I've been calling Mr. Xue for a long time. Suddenly, I changed my name, but I couldn't react in time.

But, Princess, shouldn't the main point be the saber? Why was he paying attention to the scabbard! Also, he remembered the style of his backpack, which Princess thought was also a meticulous and memorable type.

Sensing Princess's attentive gaze, Mr. Xue quickly came back to reality and replied, "This is a material called chemical fiber, an item made by chemical process. The principle behind this is something the students don't understand since it has never been explored before."

Princess Pingyang nodded, seemingly regretful. "This material seems quite sturdy, so its usage should be quite extensive."

Seeing that Mr. Xue didn't understand how to make the materials for the scabbard, Princess Pingyang turned her attention to Dagger. Mr. Xue couldn't help but explain the function of the sword again.

Princess Pingyang then revealed a different expression, as if she was taking things seriously. She touched the edge of the blade lightly and praised, "It's made well, it's a good knife." In that case, I shall gladly accept it. "

"As long as the general likes it."

Mr. Xue answered in a simple and sincere manner. Being able to receive gifts like this was naturally excellent.

Princess Pingyang seemed to be interested in the present Mr. Xue gave her. She asked someone to bring the gift sheet over. Looking at what was written on it, she asked, "What is this chocolate?"

"It's a type of food, refined from a fruit called Coco. It's good for replenishing stamina. Carrying it on a long journey would solve many of the urgent needs. "It's a pity that Keke only has a few places to grow it. I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it in China, and my students haven't brought their seeds back either."

Hearing that it was food, Princess Pingyang didn't have any regrets. She just ordered someone to bring the gift box to her, opened the gift box, and saw the transparent plastic bag.

Mr. Xue naturally told him that this was a chemical product, without any manufacturing process or raw materials. Princess Pingyang didn't mind. She opened the bag carefully and asked, "What is chocolate?"

"It's this!"

Princess Pingyang took out a piece and ate it gracefully with a nod. "The taste is quite wondrous. There's a special kind of fragrance, sweet in bitterness but not greasy, bitter but not astringent. It's quite delicious."

As he spoke, he handed a piece to Lady Liu, who praised him as well.

Mr. Xue didn't eat it, it was already too late. He was already used to eating it, so he could just leave it for the two girls who have never eaten it before to have a taste.

After eating the chocolate, Princess Pingyang took the handkerchief from Lady Liu and wiped her palms. She suddenly asked, "Youyang, are you willing to come as a student?"

This time, Youyang came to his senses. However, the crux of the problem stunned Mr. Xue for a moment.

Princess Pingyang was Princess, who had real power, and Princess, who had military power, who had already opened a government office and could set up a subordinate officer. So, was he willing to work at Princess's?

Mr. Xue hesitated. He knew that Princess Pingyang died in the next year according to historical records. However, history only recorded that she was buried in a military ceremony when she died. As for the cause of her death, it was not recorded at all.

China's history has always had some "patriarchs and daughters", and there were many outstanding women in history. However, the records about them were only a few words, with almost no detailed records.

His personality and character were all unknown. Even the only female emperor in the future, the Great Sage Emperor, was the one who wrote the most about him, such as her appointment as a cool official, his parents and children being persecuted.

Is it because all history writers are men?

"Youyang."

Princess Pingyang called to him. Mr. Xue's rare old face turned red. He was once again suffering from the problem of the otaku's diverging thoughts. He hoped that Princess wouldn't be able to see it.

Princess Pingyang didn't know if she had noticed, but she said slowly, "It's not easy to live in the Chang'an. Since Youyang is talented, it shouldn't be difficult for him to survive. However, since Youyang has just arrived, his foundation is weak.

Honestly speaking, this persuasion was quite reasonable and accurate, and it hit the nail right on the head. Mr. Xue wavered a little when he heard this. Should he resolutely go to the Chang'an or stay as an official in Princess's residence?

Mr. Xue asked himself —

He wanted to help Princess, but for no other reason than that Princess was his savior.

Mr. Xue was very grateful for what the licorice had told him about the time he was saved, and how his bag had not been touched while he was unconscious.

If he was in charge and met some strange person of unknown origin, could he have the courage of Princess Pingyang and save Princess Pingyang without searching for anything?

Don't even mention the lock on the bag, the lock was only used against gentlemen and never villains.

Although Mr. Xue would sometimes speak nonsense in a serious manner, he was always right and wrong. He was never a heartless, ungrateful person. In matters of right and wrong, he adhered to the principle of being a person with one heart and one heart. After all, a person only had one face.

However, Princess Pingyang, a woman, was able to build a team of "bandits, criminals, merchants, and domestic servants" under the ancient environment of being inferior to men and women. She was also able to make this team famous, make it stand out in all directions, and her ability to recognize people and use them was not lacking.

It was also because this kind of person was not easy to fool. Mr. Xue didn't want to fool her and said sincerely, "Youyang is naturally willing to be favored by the General. "But, to tell Princess the truth, Youyang doesn't know a thing about arranging troops and marching and fighting."

This honesty seemed to please Princess Pingyang. Princess nodded and said calmly, "I know, Youyang, don't worry. I can't bear to put a talent like Youyang on the battlefield. That's not where Youyang can play his role."

Mr. Xue felt a little embarrassed. Could it be that Princess Pingyang already knew that he was a weak chicken?

Princess Pingyang said confidently, "I would like to invite Youyang to take up the post of Clerk."

Clerk?!

Mr. Xue had heard of Clerk's position, but he did not know what he was doing. He carefully asked: "I wonder what Clerk's job responsibilities are?"

"He's in charge of food and money." In the future, Youyang would be in charge of the distribution and consumption of the household's money. In addition, since I have also held the position of a general in charge of Weize Pass, and have troops under my command, Clerk is also in charge of the military's money and grain. Is Youyang clear? "

So he was an ancient treasurer.

This was not difficult. Mr. Xue had taught himself in finance, management, mathematics, and other fields. He considered himself competent. Therefore, he agreed with a loud and clear voice: "General, don't worry. Youyang understands."

Princess Pingyang nodded: "That's how it is. From now on, I'll be counting on Youyang."

Mr. Xue: "Understood!"

Princess Pingyang was stunned for a moment. Lady Liu chuckled, "Clerk Xue, you should have said yes."

Mr. Xue was slightly embarrassed. Princess Pingyang seemed to be very happy, her expression became more lively: "Youyang, don't mind me. This is a small matter, it doesn't matter. Today, I have a hearty chat with Youyang, so I'll stay at home and use my feeding. "

"Thank you, Princess. However, I didn't come alone. licorice root will accompany me as well …"

Princess Pingyang didn't say anything, but Lady Liu reminded her with a smile, "Clerk Xue, don't worry. Someone will make the arrangements in the mansion."

Clerk said the two words slowly and heavily. Mr. Xue knew this was a joke that he called himself a student, a joke that he forgot to change his words. However, even though this Lady Liu was intelligent, she seemed a little tricky from here.

Princess's house had better food than her Clinic: a bowl of millet rice, a bowl of roasted rabbit meat stewed with dried radish and a plate of roast lamb. Mr. Xue's mouth had almost lost its taste for the past few days. He was quite happy to see the roast mutton. When he tasted it, he put pepper in his mouth. It was more delicious than he had expected, and he had a good grasp of the heat.

Before moving the chopsticks, Princess Pingyang said, "Youyang had the licorice deliver the rabbit meat every day. I heard that it was hunted by the four professional Dog?"

professional Dog … Recalling Steamed Bun's idiotic look, Mr. Xue only had one thought —

Stop teasing me!

However, Mr. Xue was still very happy to hear that Steamed Bun and the others were praised. "Thank you for your praise Princess, Steamed Bun and the others are just a little smarter than normal dogs, they can't be considered to be any kind of professional Dog. "In addition, thanks to Princess's help, giving us some food is nothing."

"Steamed Bun?!"

Princess's eyes darted around. Mr. Xue introduced the dog honestly, "Yes, my dog's name is Steamed Bun, Steamed Bun, soy milk and fried dough sticks."

"Pfft!"

This was Lady Liu spouting out loud with a strange expression on her face!

Princess was obviously more capable than Mr. Xue and only looked at Mr. Xue with a faint smile. Mr. Xue reacted slowly. Ah, aesthetic differences and the like, it was really sad!

Lady Liu smiled until her eyes curved into crescents. "Steamed buns, steamed buns, soy milk — you know it's for eating. The fried dough sticks are …"

Mr. Xue bluntly said, "It's all for food!"

Lady Liu laughed. Her laughter was crisp and Mr. Xue was unmoved. On the topic of aesthetics, he should be able to sing a song —

I think I'll always be alone, this whole life!

It was really enough!
