ah!

watermelon!

Grape!

Even though he was used to seeing the world, when he saw the fruit in the basket sent by Shi Yiwen, Song Renjie still opened his eyes wide in horror.

Staring at the jasper-like watermelon, round and big as agate, Song Renjie couldn't speak for a moment.

"This is what Zhiyuan sent it?"

With wide eyes, Song Qiyu's eyes were full of incredible expressions.

"Well, it was the gift he ordered to send him."

In fact, Song Renjie didn't care much about returning gifts. After all, Shi Yiwen returned from overseas and did not understand the rules of the Ming Dynasty. But now, the return gift he sent made Song Renjie speechless for a moment.

"Looking at the same time, watermelons, grapes and other fruits, this time the gift seems light, but in fact it is very rare. Even if the princes and nobles want to eat watermelons in April, they are afraid they can only think about it."

Fruits are not rare, what is rare is that eating fruits are not produced at this time.

A watermelon, a few bunches of grapes, and a few bunches of unknown things with long yellow fingers. They look inconspicuous, but they are very rare.

"Watermelon is in June, grapes are in July, as for this..."

Song Qiyu said in surprise after folding a banana.

"Dad, you are very knowledgeable, do you know what this is?"

Not to mention, it really stumped Song Renjie. Even though he was knowledgeable, he had never seen this thing before. He had to shake his head and said.

"I haven't seen it before, maybe it's a overseas success."

Overseas results?

Since the opening of Longqing, there have been many fruits coming from overseas in recent years.

In a while of doubt, Song Qiyu said curiously.

"I wonder how the overseas fruit tastes?"

As he spoke, he picked up the banana and took a bite.

"Ph, what's the matter..."

The bitterness that penetrated her mouth made Song Qiyu spit it out quickly.

“How does it taste?”

"It's a bit sweet, but it's bitter and astringent in your mouth... Huh?"

Before he finished speaking, Song Qiyu looked at the banana in his hand. The bitten part of the banana emitted an attractive fragrance. The fragrance was very strong and far from comparable to ordinary fruits.

"Is this thing like an orange, and you have to peel it and eat it?"

Peeling the skin of the banana, Song Qiyu tried to take a bite, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her face showed joy.

"Dad, this thing is really delicious, sweet and fragrant! Try it quickly."

After two or three bites of eating the banana, Song Qiyu quickly peeled a banana for his father.

"Dad, look, this thing is like an orange, and it needs to be peeled and eaten."

The sweet fragrance of the banana when it enters the mouth made Song Renjie's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed.

"This overseas fruit tastes really good, sweet and fragrant, it's really not an ordinary product!"

While admiring, looking at the fruits in the basket, Song Renjie said again.

"It's rare that Zhiyuan is so thoughtful. This fruit basket seems to be light, but it's all rare. You're so thoughtful!"

Tasting the fragrance and looking at the watermelon like jade, Song Renjie ordered his son.

"These fruits are rare and rare things, please give them to Pei'er."

"Dad, how can this make such a rare thing be filial to the elders."

"Not worry, no matter, your father, I live so big, I haven't eaten anything before!"

He said this, but when he looked at the watermelons, grapes, and fruits in the basket, he felt that Song Renjie, who was emitting water from his mouth, forced himself to hold on.

"Why don't you give it to Pei'er and let her taste the freshness!"

"Oh, thank you dad, that kid is gone..."

Seeing that his son took the fruit basket away without hesitation, Song Renjie felt regretful in his heart, staring at the watermelon that was leaving, thinking.

"When the watermelon is on the market, I will have to eat it happily then!"

Thinking so much in my heart, Song Renjie looked at the banana peel on the table, smelled the sweet fragrance it emitted, and thought to himself.

"I don't know, he brought it from there. Could it be that he brought it from overseas? Are watermelons and grapes too?"

Song Qiyu, who came to the back house with a fruit basket, happened to be the moment when Lin Peier had just coaxed the child to bed. Seeing him coming with a smile, he asked with a smile,

"Why are you so happy?"

Song Qiyu raised the fruit basket in her hand and said with a smile.

"Peer, what do you think this is?"

"Ah, watermelon!"

Lin Peier said in surprise,

"At this time, where did the watermelons, my husband, this watermelons, and this grapes come from?"

"It was a return gift from Zhiyuan."

Lin Qiyu told Lin Peier all the time, and couldn't help but praise her.

"Zhiyuan is really interested. Now it's just when the green and yellow are not available. The watermelons, grapes, and fruits they sent seem to be worthless, but they are rare things that are hard to buy with money. There are more than a hundred nobles in Nanjing. Have someone ever eaten watermelons and grapes in April. By the way, Perl, this yellow fruit tastes sweet and is really a rare thing to see. You must try it."

"It turned out to be a gift from Doctor Shi."

Lin Peier smiled when she heard this.

"It is rare to see you praise others like this on weekdays, that is, doctor Shi, who can make you appreciate it so much. If you feel that the gift is heavy, you will send a post to come to your house another day."

After saying that, seeing that there was no one around, Lin Peier sat on Song Qiyu's lap and said.

"Speaking of this, I should thank Doctor Shi for his good thanks to him. If he hadn't used his magic skills to protect us, we would probably have..."

Thinking of his blood transfusions saving his life, Lin Peier said with a slightly red face.

"This kind of kindness is always to be paid back."

"What my wife said is so much, I will send you appointment to my house another day. Pell, try this fruit quickly."

When she invited her wife to eat the fruit, Song Qiyu looked at the watermelon and said.

"Oh, it's a pity that there is only one watermelon. Otherwise, I'd send one to my father-in-law and his elder brother, so that he can taste it fresh."

"My father is not easy to eat. Maybe he will give this watermelon to him, but it will make him unhappy. In the end, it will be cheaper to my younger sister."

Lin Peier smiled,

"Besides, I see that the watermelon and grapes are all in this basket, so how can the father-in-law stay? "

"It was my father who told me to bring it all over and let you taste something fresh."

Song Qiyu's answer made Lin Peier's pretty eyebrows slightly locked, and she said immediately.

"There is a reason why I can taste good things in the world. My husband, you have to send them back. Even if your father loves you, you can't break the rules."

Lin Peier, who came from a scholarly family, always valued etiquette. After she reminded her, Song Qiyu realized that she had been so busy that she could taste the freshness of her wife, but she forgot her father's side. She said repeatedly.

"What my wife taught me is that I will send it to my father now."

Song Renjie did not refuse the watermelon sent by his son, but instead ordered the servant to cut the watermelon in half, send half to his son, and keep half of it himself.

"Master, this watermelon looks so beautiful!"

Looking at the concubine looking at the coveted look of the watermelon, Song Renjie smiled.

"Guifen, come and try it. The watermelons in April are very rare. Even the emperor may not be able to eat them..."

Eating watermelon, the sweetness of the teeth and mouths left, made Song Renjie say repeatedly.

“This melon is so sweet.”

Seeing that Guifen was about to throw the rind after eating the watermelon, he immediately refused to give up.
