A few people who came looked at the rice planting of Zhuangke for a while, and felt bored, Yin Zhu looked at Zhong Si who was beating the drum over there, and said, "Why hang a big drum and beat it there?" Just as I was about to take a look at the scenery of farmers planting rice in the middle of the fields, the sound of drums was annoying. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Mei Yaochen said: "Shi Lu is from the Central Plains, and I don't know that this is called Xugu Tiankou." I traveled with my uncle, and I knew that in some places it was time to plant rice, so I would go down to the fields with all my families, men, women, and children, and hang this drum on the ground, and set up this arrow to urge the peasants to work. In those places, when it comes to this solar term, the drumming is continuous from morning to dusk, which is also a scene. ”

Mei Yaochen's father, Mei Rang, never participated in the imperial examination in his life, and he followed his uncle Mei Xun everywhere as an official since he was twelve years old.

Mei Xun was proud of the young man, and he was very respected by Emperor Zhenzong, but in the most critical step, when he was promoted to Ren Zhizhi, he was blocked by Prime Minister Li Xin, and the position fell to Yang Yi. In the prime of life, Ding Wei was in power, and he belonged to the opposite side of Ding Wei's party, and he was even demoted, and he served as an official in many places. Li Xin saw that Mei Xun was not pleasing to the eye because he felt that he was frivolous, after all, he smoked two sticks of incense every morning to fill his sleeves, and not everyone thought it was elegant. However, after the fall of Ding Wei, Mei Xun will not come to Jitai, step by step, and now he has been appointed as a bachelor of Hanlin, it depends on whether there is a chance to serve as a ruler in the future.

Although Mei Yaochen has never been admitted to the Jinshi, he is taken care of by his uncle, and when he was in Luoyang, Xijing, his wife's elder brother Xie Jiang was the general judge of Henan Prefecture, and he was really in charge of Luoyang's government affairs, and he was also the leader of these young literati, so he still had his status.

Listening to Mei Yaochen's words, Yin Su shook his head and didn't say anything. I came out at the invitation of Wang Suzhi today, originally I wanted to use the spring light in the field to talk about some poetry, improve my knowledge, and deepen our feelings with each other.

When Wang Su saw this, he said to everyone: "We don't have to stand here, there are chairs under the trees on the riverbank over there, and we all go over to drink tea and take a look at this idyllic scenery by the way." In the future, the method of planting rice was popularized, and Kaifeng Mansion was no less than Jiangnan. “

Under the tree, there is a small house in the village that has already set up the tea set, and when he saw everyone coming, he was busy making tea.

Wang Su picked up the teacup and said: "The new southeast tea sold in the newly opened shop of the three divisions is made according to the Yongzhou tea system, although the taste is not as strong as the group tea, but it is fresh and elegant, and it is not a taste." And in the fields, there are many inconveniences in boiling tea, so today I will use this new tea to entertain guests, everyone try it. “

The flavor of the group tea is strong, not the taste of tea, but the taste of green onions, ginger and various spices added to it. To tell the truth, Xu Ping is still not used to drinking, and he always feels that the tea drinking habits in the frontier areas in his previous life are similar to those that are not to his taste.

Everyone took a sip of tea, and Ouyang Xiu said: "The taste of this tea is also okay, light and charming, just brewing like this, there is always a lot less fun in drinking tea." ”

Mei Yaochen said: "Tuancha is just a matter of tea, and this tea is only tasted, which is even better." ”

In fact, the most important thing is that this new tea is very similar to the cheapest loose tea in the past, and it loses its identity when you drink it. As soon as it is taken out, the person who drinks it first thinks of the cheapest loose tea, and before drinking it, he has a bad impression.

It was with this in mind that Xu Ping asked Fang Tianyan to make more fermented cake tea in the first year, which looked like a group tea, and the flavor was much stronger. As long as you don't add ingredients to brew, but just drink clearly, the advantages can be clearly demonstrated.

In history, green tea replaced group tea, and a very important point is that Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang banned group tea, only let loose tea be made, and green tea had the opportunity to improve the process step by step, and finally overwhelmed the steamed green group tea, and also changed the habit of drinking tea. In this era, Xu Ping did not have the ability to ban group tea, so he could only rely on advanced technology to squeeze out the market of group tea little by little.

Putting down the teacup, Mei Yaochen said to Wang Su: "Zhongyi was not in the capital yesterday, but he missed a big event!" ”

Wang Su was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What happened to the court?" ”

"It's not the government, it's Uncle Ouyang Yong's lifelong event!" Mei Yaochen waved his hand again and again. "Yesterday, Master Yan of the Academy invited a few of us to his house for a banquet and kept a matchmaker for Uncle Yong."

Xu Ping knew that Yan Shu had said a few days ago to be a matchmaker for the daughter of Xue Kui's family, so he smiled and said nothing. Wang Su didn't know, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "I don't know which little lady it is?" Such a blessing! ”

Yin Zhu smiled slightly: "It's the second lady of the Xue Shilang family, a scholar of the Senior Administration Palace, and her age is just right." Uncle Yong had such a family affair not long after he entered the capital, and he was a talented woman and a good woman, which was indeed a blessing. Moreover, Master Yan not only did this matchmaking, but also promised the three ladies of Xue Shilang's family to Wang Gongchen, the former champion, and he was overjoyed. ”

Because of Xu Ping's relationship, Wang Su and Wang Gongchen are also familiar with each other, and when they heard the news, they couldn't help but move their eyebrows, and picked up the teacup on the table and said: "It's really a great joy, come, replace the wine with tea first, Uncle He Yong!" In the evening, we went home drunk! ”

Putting down the teacup, Mei Yaochen said: "It's a pity that Fu Yanguo was retained by Bachelor Yan, and he can't come out today, there is one less." ”

Yin Zhu said: "Nothing, with Zhongyi's place, we will meet for many days in the future." ”

Fu Bi is Yan Shu's son-in-law, since he went to his father-in-law's house for a banquet and his wife went back to her parents' house by the way, where would he casually let him out to party with friends? Today he is missing.

When they were in Luoyang, Xijing, these people were used to drinking and feasting every day, and when they arrived in the capital, because they had to pay for themselves, they couldn't afford to go to those luxury restaurants every day, and they were uncomfortable. Outside the city, in the countryside, the cost will be reduced, and he will not lose his identity in vain, and he has already tacitly accepted that Wang Su is a meeting place in the future.

There are three gangs of a hero, and there must always be like-minded people in the officialdom to help him, and Wang Su has nothing to say.

Drinking tea and chatting about gossip, Yin Zhu and Ouyang Xiu discussed the poems with Wang Su, but Xu Ping couldn't interject.

Talking about the principle of bigness, Xu Ping has historical knowledge of his previous life, what ancient literary movement, articles should pay attention to the content rather than focusing on words and sentences, these Xu Ping can speak more advanced than them. But if it is specific to which article, which sentence is flashy, and which sentence is both rhetorical and meaningful, Xu Ping really can't talk about it. Anyway, they belong to different political groups from these people, and there is already a layer of estrangement, and there is no need for Xu Ping to rush to them and have nothing to say.

Others also knew that Xu Ping was not good at this aspect, and although they maintained enough respect, they rarely spoke to him, but a few people spoke enthusiastically.

At this moment, Liu Xiaoyi took the two villagers on Xu Pingzhuang, carrying a small cage in their hands, and holding the altar jar to the river. Seeing Xu Ping sitting here, he hurriedly came up to salute.

Xu Ping looked at the small cage in the hand of the Zhuang Ke and asked, "How is it, are there any gnats around this Zhuangzi?" ”

Liu Xiaoyi replied: "Yes, yes, but they don't shout very loudly, but I'm afraid that Panpan Little Lady won't like it." ”

"Then look for it, it's best to find a few ones that scream strangely loud and look like gods."

Panpan has been held in the palm of her hand like a baby by her family since she was a child, and Xu Ping is even more pampered after returning to Beijing, what strange playthings have you never seen? A few ordinary gnats are afraid that they will not be able to arouse her interest, and they must be particularly outstanding.

Liu Xiaoyi sighed: "Brother Sun Qi is the best at this kind of thing, it would be nice if he was here, but unfortunately he has been entangled in business recently, and he can't spare time." Liu Fugui and Shi Erlang are still looking for it in the ditch over there, let's come to this ditch to see if there are any outstanding and good-looking small fish, catch a few and go back to the little lady to raise. ”

After speaking, he said goodbye to Xu Ping and took the two Zhuang guests to the small river ditch next to him.

Ouyang Xiu looked at the figures of the two and asked Xu Ping: "What, Xu Zhizhi is still here to catch these wild things today?" Not all of them are sold in the capital, and they don't cost a few pennies. ”

Xu Ping shook his head and sighed: "How did the ones sold in the capital get into the eyes of my daughter?" Only if you come to the field in person to catch her, can you please her if you are particularly good. ”

Ouyang Xiu was taken aback: "Ah, why is the daughter of the waiting family so pampered?" Children, you can't give whatever you want. Teaching her to read and write, and having good manners, is the greatest cherishment. ”

"My daughter can also read and write, and there is no shortage of etiquette when she meets people, but other than that, I still want to give her the best things in the world and let her live happily. The heart of parents in the world, Uncle Yong, you don't have children yet, so you can't experience this kind of feeling. In two years' time, when you have children of your own, you will know. ”

After speaking, Xu Ping stood up and said to a few people: "I'll go over and take a look, I only rely on the next people, and I don't know if they can help or not." When I went out today, my daughter held my leg and didn't let me go, and if I went back empty-handed, I was afraid that she would be more and more unhappy. ”

It is human nature to cherish children, although a few of you may not understand, but thinking that Xu Ping went to Lingnan to serve as an official when his daughter was not born, and he went for a few years, and it was reasonable to redouble his love after coming back, so he got up to say goodbye.

Xu Ping was not in the mood to listen to them looking for chapters and sentences here, it was not that he looked down on poetry and articles, but there were too many things at this time, and he was really not in the mood to pay attention to them. If you wait until one day to live an idle life, you may be like they are now, without worrying about it, and find a few friends to talk about literature for a day.

But I don't know when that day will be, if you are content with a happy nature, you can feel this mood at any time. However, Xu Ping was a human being in two lives, and he couldn't be satisfied, and his heart was always filled with all kinds of things.

When he arrived at the river, Liu Xiaoyi was leading people to catch a few fish, and carefully held them and put them in the jar containing water. Seeing Xu Ping coming over, he hurriedly saluted: "Official, you see that these little fish are lively, I don't know if the little lady will like it." ”

Xu Ping looked at it, it was a few red-eyed pond horn fish, and nodded: "It's okay, you catch a few more slightly bigger ones, wild enough, and it's best to have more red circles under your eyes." Panpan is used to raising goldfish, and she is tired of watching it, so it is best to be the lively and active one to her liking. ”

Glass is now a luxury, but Xu Ping's family is not lacking, with gold wrapped in silver hoops, Xu Ping made several large glass fish tanks for Panpan, in which goldfish are raised. However, the goldfish of this era are not as colorful as Xu Ping's previous life, and they also have unique characteristics, which are adorable at first glance. The current goldfish is still in the process of domestication, in addition to the red and yellow ones, they are also precious and abnormal, and they are veritable goldfish, even Xu Ping has only heard of them and has never seen them.

This kind of monotonous red fish Panpan will inevitably get tired of watching, so Xu Ping wants to catch a few wild good-looking small fish and raise them with goldfish to make Panpan happy. (To be continued.) )
