After drinking tea, everyone left the village gate and saw that several merchants had already been riding on tricycles and waiting outside.

Mei Xun smiled and said to Xu Ping: "It is said that Xu Taijian has a wealthy family and is a handful of wealth in the capital. When he went to the village today, he saw that it was true. Even in the imperial city, ordinary officials could not sit around the yamen. I didn't expect that in your countryside, you just used it to treat guests normally."

Xu Ping said lightly: "The bachelor has said it, this car was made in my farm, just like the crops grown by myself in the field. Naturally, you can eat whatever you want and use whatever you want."

Mei Xun was amazed and got into the car first, followed by Xu Ping, and then Han Ju and Su Shen.

It took a while to arrive at the garden. After getting off the car, Mei Xun looked around and saw that the flowers and trees in the garden were hidden, and there were also various fruit trees mixed in between. The green apricots were still small, and the top of the peaches with big fists had pink. The lotus flowers bloomed in the pond not far away. The citrus and crabapples bloomed vigorously.

He nodded repeatedly as he walked: "This garden is really a paradise. What a pity, it's a pity that this place is a little far away from the capital. Otherwise, if you are visiting the park in your spare time and relaxing your body and mind will be a fun thing in your life!"

Xu Ping echoed with him, and it was really hard to say anything. Now he regretted it very much. He wouldn't have gone to Mei Xun if he had known it. He went straight to a memorial and did whatever the group hello department should do. He would have no choice but to save the effort of accompanying Mei Xun to appreciate flowers and grass. With this time, it would be great to spend time with his family.

When he sat down inside the pavilion, he saw Xu Chang walking around outside the pavilion. Xu Ping guessed that he might have something to do, so he found an excuse to get up and go outside the pavilion.

Xu Chang asked in a low voice: "How do you treat the entourage brought by Junhou, Master Mei? There are quite a few people. Do you want to kill pigs, sheep, wine and meat? Do you have to make some special dishes for him?"

"Just be good wine and meat, but it's done."

"I understand." After Xu Chang said that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

It was the first time that Xu Ping was not used to receiving important officials in the court like Mei Xun, but not only Xu Chang and the people in the village were not used to it. If they eat poorly, they were afraid that others would pick up gifts, which would affect Xu Ping's career. If they eat too well, they would seem to have never seen the world.

When the shopkeeper came to tea, Xu Ping asked Mei: "The bachelor uses tea, and my shop always drinks loose tea, which has a unique flavor."

"It's nothing, loose tea is less troublesome." For these rich and leisurely scholars and officials, the beauty of the bun tea lies in the cumbersome steps when making tea, and the taste is second. This loose tea is not as good as any other.

After drinking tea, some shopkeepers brought fruit. On the plate was a plate of cut watermelon, which was planted in advance by various grafting techniques in the village, and now it is just ripe. In Xu Ping's eyes, the watermelon is too small and black, and it doesn't taste very sweet. It can be said that it is not good to be good, but it tastes bad, it is just a strange thing.

The shopkeeper put a few plates down, and Mei Xun pointed to the plate of watermelon and asked Xu Ping: "Special, what kind of fruit is this? I have never seen it before. It is so big that I don't know how it tastes."

"This is watermelon. Deputy Envoy Li was sent to Khitan and brought the watermelon seeds back to the court. I asked some back and planted them in this garden. These precocious ripening are not very sweet yet. The bachelor is here, let's try it first."

"Is this watermelon? I have heard that the Khitans have obtained seeds from the Uighurs. They are extremely precious and taste sweet and delicious. Especially when the summer is hot, eating a few bites can relieve heat and thirst. Unexpectedly, they were planted in the farm. Today, they just happened to be able to enjoy the food. Fortunately! Fortunately!"

While saying that, he used two fingers to hold a piece in his hand very elegantly, and took a small bite into his mouth, nodding repeatedly: "It turns out to be as sweet as honey, it lives up to its reputation! And it is extremely crispy, and there is no more fruits and vegetables to compare with!"

After taking a few bites, his face was full of intoxication. He said to Han Ju and Su Shen beside him: "You use them together. This is a rare thing for ordinary people. If you didn't come to Xu Waijianzhuang, you would have a rare bite!"

Xu Pingxin said that he had grown a lot in the mansion outside the west gate of the capital, and many people could eat it when they matured, but he didn't say it out loud and could not ruin the scenery at this time.

Han Ju and Su Shen each took a piece and praised them while eating.

To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is a rare thing to eat, and the taste is actually just that. Xu Ping ate it in his previous life. I don’t know how sweeter it is than this one. When the good melon is cut into pieces, the surface is covered with a layer of sugar. Where does the watermelon of this era have that sweetness?

He just held a piece in it and pretended to accompany everyone to eat melons. He was really disappointed with the watermelon, but in the eyes of others, he thought he was modest.

After eating the watermelon, everyone was satisfied after calming down.

After drinking tea for a while, Xu Ping saw that the sun in the west had already reached the top of the mountain, and the day was about to pass. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. The day's effort had just passed. He thought about seeing it tomorrow and rushing back to the capital in the afternoon. At this speed, the day's effort was only enough for Mei Xun to walk on the road, so he didn't think about anything.

Perhaps this is the common era of this era, everything is slowly going on, and it is not normal for me and a group of subordinates to do things in the three departments every minute.

Since it was almost evening, Xu Ping had to ask Xu Chang to prepare supper. In the countryside, there were good things that could not be made ingenious colors. It was just large pieces of meat, either roasted or cooked. Only fresh vegetables grown in the garden were fried on high heat. They were refreshing and delicious in other places, which were not found in other places.

While waiting for the meal, Mei Xun sat bored and said to Xu Ping: "You said before that a horse could conceive hundreds of horses. This stallion must be extremely majestic. Now that I have time, why not bring me a look?"

After hearing this, Xu Ping couldn't help but open his eyes wide. After a while, he said, "The bachelor needs to see it, so of course it can."

After saying that, he ordered the shopkeeper to take the carefully selected Qingtang horse.

But I kept complaining in my heart that I asked Mei to come to see how majestic this stallion is, but how the male and female conceived so many mares. The most important thing is not the stallion, but the technique of conceiving the mare. What does this Maestro mean? If you don’t look at what you should see, you will be very interested in things that are useless.

But he didn't know that what Xu Ping thought was important was not needed in Mei Xun's eyes. It was enough to let Han Ju go over and take a good look and report it to him. Today, he came to the village just to show that he valued the matter. In his opinion, he didn't send a public official to learn about the incident, but it was already for Xu Ping's sake.
