I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 253

Chapter 253

As the saying goes, after serving in the army for three years, a sow is better than Diaochan.

Lin Xuan went out for a few months, although he didn't feel this way.

But after all, he had eaten meat before, and he didn't have a woman around him before, so he didn't feel much.

But when two flowery maids, wearing faintly visible little clothes, waited for him to take a bath, Lin Xuan only felt his blood surge.

If it weren't for Yuhe's presence, he might have been unable to bear it.

Seeing that Lin Xuan's face was flushed, Chunyue asked with some concern: "Master, what's wrong with you, why are you so hot?"

"It's okay, the water is too hot."

What's wrong.

It was not caused by you.

Chunyue was a little puzzled, it was summer, and they only added a little hot water.

She tried it before, but it was just a little warm, but it was not hot at all.

Chunyue still wanted to ask again, but when he saw Lin Xuan's hideous underwater weapon, his face was so red that it was about to bleed, as if he understood something.

Sensing Chunyue's gaze, Lin Xuan froze, somewhat embarrassed.

After finally taking a shower, Lin Xuan said: "Yuhe, I'm a little hungry, you go and ask my mother if the meal is ready, I'll go over to eat later."

Zhang Qing said before that he should prepare some delicious food for Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan asked Yuhe to ask, just to drive her away.

"Yes!" Yu He didn't think too much, she answered and left.

Chunyue took the clothes and prepared to serve Lin Xuan to get dressed.

Lin Xuan picked up Chunyue and walked to the bed.

Of course Chunyue knew what Lin Xuan wanted to do, her face blushed, and she whispered, "Young Master, you're hungry, let's eat first."

Lin Xuan laughed evilly: "Young Master is hungry, but Young Master wants to eat you first."

After finishing her work, Yuhe went back to the bathroom, but she didn't see Lin Xuan, which was a little strange.

Seeing that the bathroom was not cleaned up, she cleaned it up.

After finishing her work, she came outside Lin Xuan's room, and heard a voice from inside that made her blush.

For a moment, Yuhe's complexion was rosy, and she didn't know whether she should leave or not.

Lin Xuan came to his parents' yard refreshed. Seeing Lin Xuan, the maid hurriedly saluted and said, "I have seen you, Master and Madam are waiting for you in the dining room."

Lin Xuan nodded and came to the dining room.

Seeing Lin Xuan coming in, Zhang Qing got up and said with a smile: "Xuan'er, come quickly, mother made these according to your taste, see if there is anything else you want to eat, mother will make it later."

"As long as it is made by mother, children will like it."

Lin Xuan was a little ashamed, he patronized that and made his parents wait for him for so long.

"My brother didn't take me when he went out to play. I don't like my brother anymore." Lin Duoduo said a little unhappy.

Lin Duoduo was young, Lin Dongyang and the others never told her about Lin Xuan going out to fight, they kept telling her that Lin Xuan was out to play.

She resented Lin Xuan deeply for not taking her when she went out to play.

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "It's my brother's fault. My brother will take you to play after he's busy these days, okay?"

"Really?"

The child was quick to get angry and left quickly. Hearing that Lin Xuan wanted to take her out to play, there was no need to be angry.

Lin Xuan rubbed Lin Duoduo's head and said with a smile, "Of course it's true."

"Then I will forgive my brother." Lin Duoduo said generously.

Lin Dongyang said: "Xuan'er, sit down and eat."

Lin Xuan had a warm meal with his family, and after the meal, he chatted with his parents all afternoon about the daily routines.

It was late in the evening before I changed my clothes and went to the palace to attend the banquet.

When they came to the gate of the palace, there was an endless stream of people entering the palace for banquets. Lin Xuan met some people he knew and greeted them warmly.

Just as Lin Xuan was about to go in, when he saw Niu Jinda approaching, he stopped quickly, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Long time no see, how is Uncle Niu?"

"You kid, you've done a great job this time." Niu Jinda patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Lin Xuan smiled wryly. Normally speaking, as a pioneer, the credit will not be low in terms of meritorious deeds.

The problem is that he, as a pioneer, has not played a role at all, just like going on a trip.

Seeing Lin Xuan's expression, Niu Jinda asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

"Uncle Niu can't explain this matter in one or two sentences, but you should understand it in these two days." Lin Xuan said.

This kind of thing is really not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.

He and Hou Junji had conflicts in the first place, if it was said from his mouth, it would inevitably make people feel that he deliberately discredited Hou Junji.

Now that the army has returned, it's just that Hou Jun's plundering has attracted so much attention, and other things haven't been spread yet.

After two days, it is estimated that some of the process of the expedition will spread throughout Chang'an, and Niu Jinda will naturally know by then.

When Niu Jinda saw what Lin Xuan said, he knew there should be something inside, so he didn't ask any more questions, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go in first."

Lin Xuan and Niu Jinda entered the palace together, and walked to the banquet hall under the guidance of the eunuch.

"Uncle Niu, are Uncle Cheng and Uncle Yuchi back?" Lin Xuan asked.

Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong were sent to the border by Li Shimin to frighten the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo.

Lin Xuan only knew that Li Shimin also ordered them to come back, but he didn't know if they had returned to Chang'an now.

Niu Jinda shook his head, and whispered: "Not yet, now that the grassland is fighting, His Majesty asked them to find a way to buy some war horses from the grassland."

Lin Xuan was taken aback, and asked, "There's a war on the grassland, and the shortage of war horses is even greater. Will they sell them?"

Niu Jinda laughed and said, "You don't know much about grasslands. There are many horses in the grasslands. It's just that you don't want to sell them to Datang in order to control Datang."

"Now they are fighting, and other supplies are in short supply. They just need to send some food, and they are naturally willing."

Lin Xuan nodded. Western Turks and Xue Yantuo were usually able to guard against Datang, but now that they are fighting, there is no time to care about controlling Datang.

Li Shimin was taking advantage of the fire to rob. Anyway, food is a consumable. As long as you pay attention to the limit, they will consume it when they fight, and it will not increase their strength.

"Uncle Niu, isn't my Tang Dynasty short of food? How come there is still food to sell to the grassland?" Lin Xuan asked a little strangely.

For this expedition, a large amount of grain was used, and now it has to be sold to the grasslands. How can Datang get so much grain.

Niu Jinda looked around, and said: "This is the grain and grass reserves in various places, and the autumn harvest will come soon. It only takes this time. If there are no natural disasters, there will be no food shortage in the Tang Dynasty."

Of course Lin Xuan knew about the food reserves.

Datang has granaries all over the country, which are used for disaster relief when natural and man-made disasters occur.

However, Datang has been suffering from natural disasters in the past few years, and there is not much food in reserve.

Now that even this bit of grain and grass has been sold, Datang doesn't have any grain and grass in reserve.

Whether there is a disaster, or the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo are both in danger, Datang wants to provide disaster relief and send troops, but there is no food.

But the autumn harvest is coming soon, and the southern side has already harvested earlier.

As long as it lasts for a while, it's fine.

Lin Xuan and Niu Jinda chatted and came to the hall where the banquet was held.

Because of their identities, the two separated after entering the hall.

"Lin Xuan, here, here!"

Lin Xuan heard the reputation, saw Cheng Chumo and the others, and hurried over.

"You guys came quite early." Lin Xuan said with a smile.

Cheng Chumo said a little speechlessly: "This is a celebration banquet specially prepared by His Majesty for us. Can you come earlier?"

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, do we have any credit?

However, he knew that Cheng Chumo had been brooding over him because he hadn't made any contribution, so he didn't want to hit him.

Lin Xuan looked at Xue Rengui and said, "Rengui, this is the first time you come to the palace, if you don't understand something, ask them more."

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for your concern!"

Xue Rengui was a little cautious at first, but after hearing Lin Xuan's words, he relaxed a lot.

"His Majesty is here!"

Everyone in the hall hurriedly retreated to the two sides and stood bowed.

"Join Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin walked up to the head and sat down, waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, today is a celebration banquet, everyone can do whatever they want."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After everyone was done according to their respective positions, Li Shimin raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "The army is victorious, Zhu Qing and I will drink this glass to the full!"

"Great Tang Wansheng!"
