Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Jinming Pond,

Located in the west of the city,

The water surface is wide and roughly square,

The entrance for carriages and horses is on the east side facing the city wall, near Xinzheng Gate.

The tents of the princes, nobles, nobles and their families are also in the southeast corner of the pool, which is close to the Linshui Hall. The lottery pole is inserted between the two places, which is the best place to watch the lottery in the water.

From here, walking north along the edge of the pool, you will see tents arranged according to the relationship between the holy family members, official positions, etc.

When you reach the northernmost point, turn left and continue walking west along the edge of the pond. You will see the Okuya where the huge dragon boat is placed.

There are many small docks near Owu, where the cruise ships of Bianjing Xun's noble officials and eunuchs are parked.

After passing Owu, walk a little further and you will reach the northwest corner of Jinmingchi.

This is the entrance to Jinming Pool. If you can dive into the water, go through the Yuan Wall Sluice and go upstream, you can reach the 'Fishing Recreation Area' near Lady Wu's Polo Ground.

Because Jinming Pond is only open for more than one month a year, fishing is only allowed during this time, and there is live water at the water inlet in the northwest corner.

Therefore, the fish here are plentiful, fat and stupid. It is simply a paradise for anglers. You can catch fish with your eyes closed.

There is still some distance from the southeast corner to the farthest northwest corner.

In order to save effort and time, Xu Zaijing and others had to come over on horseback with fishing gear.

After getting off the horse, everyone paid money, took the sign, sat down, baited, and swung the hook as before

A quarter of an hour later,

After Liang Han smiled at Xu Zaijing with a smile full of pride, he used his hands to pull a fish over one foot out of the water and swung it vigorously on the hook.

The boy fishing on the side came over quickly and put the fish into the barrel with a net.

Xu Zaijing didn't pay attention to Liang Han's appearance. He was staring at the swaying fish float with bright eyes. Just say, how could he do it every time?

After a while,

Xu Zaijing shook his head and put bait on the fishhook again.

After a while,

Liang Han already has the third fish in his bucket.

Gu Tingye and Qiao Jiulang also gained something, but only Xu Zaijing and Qi Heng had empty buckets.

"Master, don't worry, Brother Jing hasn't caught anything yet."

Buwei stood beside Qi Heng and whispered comfort.

Xu Zaijing scratched his forehead with his index finger, took a deep breath, and looked at his inaction with a flattering smile.

At this time, Qi Heng's fish kept floating, Buwei said quickly:

"Sir, don't move yet."

Buwei's words attracted everyone on the side to look over.

"Master! Hold back!"

Qi Heng: "."

Liang Han: "Pfft."

Gu Tingye: "Shut up"

Xu Zaijing looked at the fish jumping on the fishing line, which was no longer than a finger. He nodded and said: "Tsk, Brother Heng, it's very good!"

Qi Heng nodded and put it into the barrel with Buwei's help.

The shore became quiet again,

Xu Zaijing continued to sit boredly on the chair, holding the fishing rod in one hand and resting the elbow on his knee with his other hand, holding his chin and looking at the water.

At this time,

His fish bobber moved violently,

The violent movements also attracted Liang Han's attention, and Liang Han said urgently:

"Wow! Such movement, big fish!"

Xu Zaijing's eyes lit up, and without saying a word, he suddenly raised it!

"Snapped!"

Xu Zaijing held the broken fishing rod in half blankly.

A huge fish figure turned over underwater,

Then Xu Zaijing's other half of the fishing rod spun on the water and he 'swam' towards the depths of Jinming Pond.

Liang Han pretended to be uncomfortable and patted Xu Zaijing's shoulder: "Brother Jing, don't worry."

The people sitting on the side burst into laughter again.

Xu Zaijing shook his head, changed his fishing gear and continued fishing.

"Oh~"

Liang Han stood and whistled, then put a big fish about one and a half feet into the bucket.

Then he asked the fishing cart to hang bait for him and said to Xu Zaijing and others:

"A few talented people, such a beautiful scene at such a beautiful time, I occasionally got a wonderful sentence, do you want to hear it?"

Gu Tingye on the side said sideways: "Thank you, I don't want to!"

Qi Heng didn't even move his head. He looked at the water and nodded in agreement: "Second uncle said yes."

Qiao Jiulang nodded: "Liu Lang, there's no need for that!"

Liang Han rolled his eyes at them:

"Tsk! You are so jealous!"

"Brother Jing, you didn't say anything! You must want to hear it!"

Before Xu Zaijing could speak, Liang Han stretched out his hand and chanted:

"ah!"

"Rokuro is a handsome and handsome young man, holding up the brocade lin and looking at the sky."

"Your Majesty, you can't get on the boat, so I call myself the Immortal of Fishing!"

Looking sideways at Xu Zaijing, who was squinting into the distance, Liang Han said:

"Brother Jing, is this poem good?"

Xu Zaijing smiled warmly at Liang Han, pointed in the distance and said:

"Rokuro, let's talk about whether the poem is good or not!"

"Look at the girl on the shore."

Liang Han was stunned: "Girl? What girl? Is she good-looking?"

As he said this, Liang Han quickly turned around and followed the direction of Xu Zaijing's finger, tiptoeing and looking for a while.

Then Liang Han put the fishing rod in his hand into the fishing hand, walked to the side where the horse was tied, and ran towards Owu on horseback.

Seeing Liang Han looking a little anxious, the others who were concentrating on fishing hurriedly said:

"Brother Jing, what's wrong? What girl?"

Xu Zaijing lifted up the fishing rod leisurely, looked at the empty fishhook and shook his head helplessly. He was indeed the kind of fish-feeding fisherman who would help restore the ecology of fish stocks.

Xu Zaijing said nothing, but Qi Heng looked at him and said:

"It seems to be a girl next to Mrs. Wu."

"She belongs to the eldest brother and daughter-in-law of Rokuro's concubine"

Xu Zaijing hung up the bait and continued fishing.

Then, Gu Tingye turned his head and looked at Liang Han and Chun Ge, who were arguing with each other, and said:

"Rokuro is quite smart. He knows how to be careful about other people's eyes and takes people to talk behind Okuya."

"Only we can see what they do."

Looking at the boys and girls standing very close in the distance, Qiao Jiulang said with envy:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how old is Sixth Brother this year!"

"Yo yo! Hug me!"

"Hahaha, this girl got rid of him!"

"Mukuro, what does he mean by waving at us? Let us pass?"

Qi Heng said doubtfully and was about to get up from his chair.

Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye looked at each other and stood up with a smile.

Then Liang Han in the distance bowed repeatedly and waved.

The fishing cart on the side looked at Liang Han who was trying hard to signal to him in the distance, bowed and raised his hands, and said embarrassedly:

"Young Masters, my Young Master may want to ask some of you to turn around."

As he spoke, the fisherman bowed repeatedly.

Gu Tingye sighed and said, "Okay! Let's face the west and continue fishing without looking at them!"

With that said, everyone sat down again.

Seeing Xu Zaijing and others turning their backs to them,

Liang Han stood in front of the crying girl Chun Ge.

Love words are soft and boring, and they are finished.

After Liang Han swore some oaths, he sent Chun Ge on the way back to his tent.

Watching Miss Chun Ge walking away with the female envoy, Liang Han turned around and saw Xu Zaijing and the others looking straight at this side.

Xu Zaijing also waved towards Liang Han.

Liang Han got on his horse and returned to the fishing place. After dismounting, he bowed to everyone and said:

"These are all my close brothers, Liang Han. Please brothers, please keep it a secret for me!"

"Otherwise, if my mother finds out, she will definitely beat my brother to death."

After saying that, Liang Han bowed deeply and when he stood up, he saw that everyone except Xu Zaijing nodded.

"Brother Jing?"

Xu Zaijing smiled slightly and said: "Liu Lang, just now you said you love to write poems? Why don't you write one? I'm satisfied, and I will definitely help you hide it!"

"Are you not satisfied?"

Liang Han: "Uh"

Rong Feiyan was pacing along the side of the tent near Jinmingchi.

Along the way, there were tents from various houses to cover the road, and it was also convenient to wear a curtain hat to block the willow velvet.

Rong Feiyan walked around a few times and nodded slightly as she looked at the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liang family who was waiting not far away and looking towards her.

At this time, Miss Haruge, whose face was still a little red, came from the direction of Okuya with the envoy.

Ningxiang, who was standing beside Rong Feiyan, whispered:

"Girl, aren't there a few guys fishing over there? She just said she was taking a look at the shore. Why does it look like she has walked there?"

Rong Feiyan curled her lips behind the curtain and said:

"Who knows."

After saying that, Rong Feiyan reined in the horse lightly, turned around, and continued to pace along the shore.

When she returned to the Rong family's tent, Rong Feiyan watched curiously as a group of hurried Imperial Guards escorted a person towards Linshui Palace.

In front of Linshui Palace,

In the big tent,

The emperor was sitting behind the imperial desk, smiling and talking to the important ministers of the court.

Give something as a reward from time to time.

At this time,

The chief minister stooped over and said something in the emperor's ear.

The emperor's face did not change, he was still smiling, but there was not much smile in his eyes.

The emperor turned sideways, said a few words to the queen beside him, then stood up and walked towards the Linshui Palace at the back with the chief minister.

Afterwards, several important officials in the court were notified by the junior ministers, got up and left the table, and also walked towards the back.

Sheng Hong, who was sitting at the bottom, looked at the scene in the tent with confusion, his eyes full of curiosity.

In Linshui Hall,

In a large room,

At this time, there were only the emperor and his personal ministers.

The emperor sat on the chair, squinting at the memorial in his hand, looking slightly nervous.

"Your Majesty, Li Shangshu and Huangfu Shangshu have arrived."

Hearing the communication from the junior minister, the emperor put away his nervous expression. After taking a deep breath, his whole expression became relaxed, as if he had a pearl of wisdom in his hands, and said:

"Let them in."

The emperor and ministers talked,

Soon, there were many important civil and military officials from the Great Zhou Dynasty in the room.

Holding the memorial and looking at everyone, the emperor smiled and said:

"My dear friends, I have received a letter from the Kingdom of Jin. They promised to conquer the Great Bohai Kingdom next month."

"Both the Imperial City Department and the Rongji Department have received a secret report from Fei Ge, and the Jin Kingdom has ordered the gathering of troops in late February."

Hearing this, the important ministers in the room started talking.

Most of the distinguished military commanders looked happy, while the civil servants frequently looked at the emperor.

If a war were to begin with Bai Gaoguo, not only would the military attachés have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, but the civilian officials responsible for coordinating the rear area would also be able to share the credit.

The leader of the Hai family was already in Taiyuan Mansion behind Marquis Yongyi.

Whether there will be changes in the other directions, such as the Duke of England and Marquis Ningyuan, depends on the emperor's thoughts.

Three quarters of an hour later, the emperor came out again with his important ministers.

But the atmosphere in the big tent was slightly tense.

The time of application (after 4 p.m.)

The emperor's guard of honor has returned to Bianjing.

On the streets of the city,

It’s still bustling,

But there were many more carriages and horses running back and forth than usual, with signs of various families hanging on them.

Later,

Jiying Lane

Shou'an Hall

The two mothers, Fang and Cui, stood at the door,

Only Sheng Hong and the old lady were in the hall.

The old lady sat on the Luohan bed, on which was a small table.

The old lady rested her left hand on the small table, slightly clenched her fist, and rubbed her thumb and index finger slowly.

Listening to Sheng Hong's detailed account of today's events.

After Sheng Hong finished speaking, the old lady's thumb also stopped, and after a moment of silence, the old lady sighed and said:

"Hong'er, after you said this, the great masters looked serious?"

Sheng Hong nodded.

The old lady said:

"Officials are all very smart. If they can do this, it must be a big deal."

"Eighty percent of the time, the north will be in turmoil."

Looking at the several long wooden boxes on the small table with a worried look, which contained the Xuancheng tribute pens, the old lady continued:

"If we really have to do it step by step, there will be too many tough battles and strong cities to fight!"

"It's not easy! I don't know how many people will die"

"Hong'er, your elder brother Wei is purchasing things in the south now."

"Write to him and tell him that as long as it doesn't lose money, choose the best things. People will not treat him badly in the future."

"Yes, mother."

Sheng Hong bowed slightly and replied, then looked at the old lady and said:

"Mother, then this offering pen"

The old lady waved her hand and said:

"Tell the eldest lady that the Xu family does not lack these things, just leave them for the brothers and sisters at home."

"Yes, mother."

At this time, Cui Madam at the door lifted the curtain and came to the door, saying:

"Old lady, the eldest lady is here."

As she said, Wang Ruofu walked in with a smile, followed by Liu Madam holding a bundle in her hand.

"Mother, this is the nourishing treasure that His Majesty and the Queen asked my daughter-in-law to bring back."

"My daughter-in-law's mother's share, my daughter-in-law has asked the Feng family to take it away!"

Fang Madam smiled and took the bundle from Liu Madam's hand, put it on the table in front of the old lady, and untied the bundle.

The old lady looked at it and said with a slight smile: "Madam, you are thoughtful! Suqin, put it away."

After talking to the old lady for a while, Sheng Hong and his wife left Shou'an Hall.

In the hall,

The old lady stood up from the Luohan bed, walked around the hall with her hands behind her back, and sighed.

Then the old lady came to the Buddhist hall in the back room, lit a stick of incense on a spirit tablet, and said:

"Suqin, divide some of the things just now, find an excuse to cover it up and send it to Jin'an Zhai!"

"Call Minglan back on the way."

"Yes, old lady."

Quyuan Street

Yongyi Marquis's Mansion,

When Xu Zaijing accompanied his mother and sister-in-law to enter the door, there was already a smell of rain in the air.

The mistress's courtyard,

After dinner,

Xie and Zai Zhang and his wife had left and returned to their own courtyard.

Sun smiled and looked at her youngest son, saying:

"Jing'er, what's wrong? Why don't you go back?"

"Mom, is there something wrong?"

Sun was stunned:

"What can happen to your mother?"

"I just feel that you are a little depressed."

"Nonsense! Go, go back to your own courtyard."

"Oh!"

Xu Zaijing scratched his head and walked out.

Watching Xu Zaijing walk out of the house with the maid,

Sun smiled with relief and took Zhu Mama into the inner room.

Zhu Mama helped Sun take off the hairpins and rings. Sun sighed:

"My youngest son still loves his mother. Zai Zhang's eyes are all on his wife."

"That's the daughter-in-law you asked for yourself."

Sun smiled and shook her head, then sighed deeply, hoping that her husband would be safe and sound.

When Sun was about to lie down to rest,

Mother Dan came to the bedroom in a hurry and said:

"Madam, Madam Pan of the Huyan family sent someone."

The next day,

In the misty spring rain,

Xu Zaijing brought Qingyun and rode to the gate of Ningyuan Marquis's mansion.

A quarter of an hour later,

Xu Zaijing asked Ren Yiniang, who had taken care of Pingmei before, to follow him in the Gu family's carriage and rushed to Huyan's house.
