"Why wait until the Dragon Boat Festival, you want to see it, just go see it tomorrow! This kind of important business, what do we have if we don't go to court for a day or two! "There are many programs in Meixun during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, how can it be possible to follow Xu Ping to the fields to see the scenery. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Ping naturally couldn't ask for it, and hurriedly said: "This is the best, if it is convenient, the bachelor will take a leave from the imperial court, how about we leave in the afternoon?" I'll see it tomorrow, and I'll be able to rush back to the capital in the evening. ”

"Okay, I'll go to the palace, and by the way, I'll go to the political affairs hall, you go back to the yamen to take care of chores, and we'll leave in a while."

In fact, the daily affairs of the herd division Mei Xun does not care, and he only goes out to the horse supervisor to inspect once a year as required, and it is the herd judge who is usually in charge. There were very few chores in the academy, and he didn't have any business to do when he went out for a few days.

The third division is not so idle, Xu Ping is going to leave for two days, and there are really a lot of things to explain to his subordinates. He said goodbye at the moment and hurriedly returned to the official office of the Salt and Iron Division.

After about half an hour, a miscellaneous official from the academy came to the Salt and Iron Division, saw Xu Pingyu and said: "To be made, the bachelor has already taken leave from the imperial court, went home to clean up, and said that he would meet outside the Xinzheng Gate in an hour." ”

Xu Ping nodded, sent the miscellaneous officials away, and thought that the person sent by Mei Xun did not say whether he had helped him ask for leave, so he had to send his entourage to the gate and ask about it. During the Tiansheng period, it became common for officials to ask for leave, and later the management became stricter, even if the sick leave must be guaranteed by a formal medical officer, and it is not possible to make a basket out of this kind of thing inexplicably.

It wasn't until the entourage came back to report that Mei Xun had helped Xu Ping take leave, and Xu Ping left the Yamen of the Salt and Iron Division.

went home and called Kou Liu and Xu Chang, Xu Ping saw that the time was not early, said goodbye to his parents and Lin Suniang, and took the two of them across the Bianhe pontoon bridge and arrived outside the new policy.

From a distance, I saw a large group of people gathered not far from the door, fresh clothes and angry horses, and the honor guard was distinct, which was particularly conspicuous.

Hell, this Mei Xun went out of the city with a guide, and he didn't bother. The status of the Hanlin Bachelor is respected, and even if he takes the guide, he can basically walk sideways in the capital, except for the prince of Zaizhi, everyone else has to give way to them. But going out of the city to the county below is never taken casually, it must be a business matter, it seems that Mei Xun is really not wronged at all.

When they arrived, Xu Ping and Mei Xun had a salute.

An official standing next to Mei Xun stepped forward and bowed his hand to Xu Ping: "Han Ju, the judge of the herdsmen, has seen the pending system. ”

Xu Ping hurriedly said: "Judge Han, we are not outsiders, so you don't have to be polite." ”

Han Ju is Han Qi's eldest brother, a jinshi in the Zhenzong period, who has been an official for many years, and now he is a group herd judge. Xu Ping had seen him many times when he was partying with Han Qi, and he was not a stranger.

Mei Xun looked at the sun and said, "It's not early, let's go on the road." Xu waiting, do you want to ride a horse or ride with me? It's been a few days since I bought this car, and it's very comfortable to sit in the capital, and I don't know how to get out of the city. ”

Xu Ping looked at the four-wheeled carriage with carved beams and paintings, the car looked luxurious, and the horse pulling the carriage looked extraordinarily wonderful. Obviously, Mei Xun's herd envoy is not in vain, at least this horse is carefully selected by the herd herding department.

This kind of carriage Xu Ping's family naturally has, but he doesn't like to swagger and never takes the car out to run errands. After listening to Mei Xun's words, he smiled and said: "I am a hard worker, I am used to riding horses, and the bachelor is at my own convenience." ”

Mei Xun didn't say much, beckoned Han Ju to get into the carriage, and the lead in front of him opened the way, and walked along the official road.

Xu Ping took Xu Chang and Kou Liu and a few of his own retinue to follow behind this huge guard of honor.

Where can you go fast in this way? Xu Ping only felt anxious when he rode on the horse, and he was helpless, so he had to watch Mei Xun on the carriage drink wine from time to time, eat a few fruits from time to time, and swim beautifully, as if he had come out for a spring outing.

At noon, when he walked to Zhongmu County, Mei Xun ordered to stop the guard of honor and find a store to eat.

Xu Ping came up and said: "Bachelor, this is less than twenty miles away from Baisha Town, and less than thirty miles away from my Zhuangzi, let's go faster, let's eat together in Zhuangzi." The road has been delayed for a long time, and time has been wasted. ”

This year is the year of Dabi, and the surroundings of the capital are not peaceful, and Xu Ping still remembers that there were thieves around his Zhuangzi back then. Try to get to the place before dark, and it's hard to say what will happen when you walk at night.

Mei Xun didn't know Xu Ping's worries, but he was impatient on the road, and it was difficult to refute his face, so he ordered his entourage to buy some prepared food, take it to the carriage and wait for the road to eat slowly.

It staggered like this until the red sun drooped in the west, and it was only in the evening that it rushed outside Xujiazhuang.

Since the establishment of Zhuang, for so many years, even if Xu Ping has become a high-ranking official now, Zhuangzi has never seen such a big battle. Even Zhongmu Zhixian got the news that he didn't catch up in the county seat and arrived in Zhuangzi early.

After getting off the horse and arriving in front of the village, Xu Ping saw that it was not Lu Song who greeted him in front of the village, but Su Shen of Zhongmu Zhi County, and he was a little stunned. I have the impression that although this magistrate has been courteous to himself for several weeks, he has never come to the door like this. It seems that Master Hanlin and his own Longtu Pavilion are really heaven and earth, and if you think about it, Mei Xun at least has more power to recommend officials than herself.

stepped forward to meet Mei Xun, Su Shen came to Xu Ping, felt a little embarrassed, and said: "Xia Guan has served in Zhongmu for nearly half a year, and he has not visited the Zhuangzi to be made, so I am ashamed." Today, Mr. Mei came to this county, just taking this opportunity to go to the village to be made, and also a long-cherished wish. ”

Xu Ping didn't know what kind of face to give this person, but he said nonchalantly: "Su Zhixian has a heart." ”

After speaking, he led everyone into Zhuangzi first.

Xu Chang was obedient, and he had already quietly left, and went to Zhuangzi to arrange the reception. Over the years, Xu Chang has seen a lot of big scenes in the capital, and he is no longer the housekeeper outside the countryside back then, and he is very familiar with all kinds of etiquette.

Lu Song commanded Zhuang Ke, placed Mei Xun's honor guard entourage, and took him to another courtyard alone. Xu Chang led people out of the Zhuangzi, and only then did he welcome a few people to the Zhuangzi.

When they arrived at the flower hall, Zhuang Ke served tea, and Xu Chang stepped forward and said: "The farm is vulgar, how can a noble person like a bachelor sit here?" After a while, we went to the nearby amusement park to rest. ”

Mei Xun stroked his long hair and nodded: "Yes, I used to hear in the capital that there is a garden in this Zhuangzi in Xu Zhizhi, and it is particularly exquisitely built." It's just a little farther away from the capital, and few people come to play. It's happened to be here today, how can you not go and have some fun? And Xu Beizhi has always had some strange things, which is easy to open his eyes. ”

Xu Ping had no choice but to laugh and agree, but there was something unpleasant in his heart.

I didn't expect the people in the academy to live so leisurely, and when they came out to work, they still wanted to have fun, as if watching the horse had become a piggyback. It's no wonder that everyone sharpened their heads and wanted to be a noble minister, and the kind of yamen of the three divisions was not welcomed. The status of the ministers is high, they collect a lot of extra money, they live a leisurely life, and even the officials are promoted faster than others.

If he didn't know his strengths and weaknesses, after watching Mei Xun's days, Xu Ping would not want to work in the third division, and try his best to be a scholar in the middle school, which is much better than now. (To be continued.) )
