Chapter 81: Eighty-one is in a dilemma
Although in the battle, Zhao Jinyan took the upper hand and occupied the advantageous position on Fleur's side, and also won Fleur's favor.
But when it came time for the fishing competition to compete in real kung fu, the situation was completely reversed.
I don't know if Xia Yuelang was lucky enough to occupy the position, or because the fish food developed by the people below attracted the fish to the bait more than the earthworm, and the hook was thrown into the pond for only half a while, Xia Yuelang's hook began to shake violently. Xia Yuelang directly lifted the rod and jumped as wide as an adult man's feet with a fish flicking its tail and struggling, and also pressed the fishing rod in Xia Yuelang's hand half bent.
Xia Yuelang couldn't hold his breath either, as soon as he took off the fish and threw it into the bucket beside him, he showed off to Fu Hui and Zhao Jinyan: "Why are you two so unhelpful, you don't make any noise at this moment?" โ
Zhao Jinyan didn't speak, just stared at the water quietly, but Fu Hui replied angrily: "This is just the beginning, whoever catches more in the end is called the real skill!" โ
With that, her gaze looked more earnestly at the buoys floating on the water.
After Xia Yuelang didn't get it, he was ridiculed by his sister, so he had to touch his nose in amazement and continue to pretend to be an earthworm bait.
Who knows, the hook with the bait has just been put down, and there is movement immediately, Xia Yuelang lifted the rod, but it was a fish that was bigger and fatter than Fang Cai. Xia Yuelang was overjoyed, afraid that the fish would escape, so he hurriedly asked the people below to take the fishing net and put the fish into the bucket.
After a long time, Xia Yuelang's bucket was already full of these two big fish, and the two buckets placed between Fu Hui and Zhao Jinyan were quiet and pure at this time.
Xia Yuelang was not in a hurry to release the bait this time, he personally touched the bucket, swayed between Fleur and Xia Yuelang, and said with a smile: "I said that earthworms work, but you don't believe it." โ
Zhao Jinyan still didn't speak, still staring at the water quietly, and Fu Yuan, who couldn't hold her breath to refute, stopped making a sound at this time, frowning and staring at the calm water with bitter hatred.
"How can there be no fish, this bait smells so good!"
When she opened the bowl with the bait, she smelled a fragrance, it didn't make sense that the fish would give up the fragrant bait to eat Xia Yuelang's ugly earthworm with muddy smell! Fleur thought to herself, looking at the still calm water, and the expression on her face became more and more tangled.
Xia Yuelang was bored again, so he had to move back to his position and repeat the action of hanging the earthworm and throwing bait...... As a result, the bait was thrown into the water, and before Xia Yuelang's ass was hot, the hook shook violently again.
This time, the fish caught was bigger than the previous two times, and it was fat, Rao is Fuhui didn't want to give Xia Yuelang face, and at this time she couldn't help but look at Xia Yuelang's side, seeing that Xia Yuelang was unhurried to load the fish, she was anxious, jumping to her feet and only shouting and telling the people below to hurry up and hand over the bucket.
Xia Yuelang got Fleur's reaction, and his mood naturally became sรจ again, after he put the fish away, he smiled at Fleur and said, "Sister, look, I said that this earthworm works, you still don't believe me." โ
Fu Rui pursed her mouth, naturally she didn't want Xia Yuelang to be so proud, she thought about it and said, "Nonsense, it's clear that your position is good." โ
After she said this, she nodded thoughtfully, but she believed her conclusion more and more, and couldn't help but pull Zhao Jinyan to stand up, and said to Zhao Jinyan: "Your Majesty, let's go over and let my brother come over." โ
Furao is like this, in fact, there is a bit of a vexatious taste, but the people present, Zhao Jinyan don't have to say it, everything is up to Fleur, and Xia Yuelang has always loved Furao's sister, so naturally he is obedient and obedient and gives up his position.
But...... After the position was relinquished, after only a cup of tea, Xia Yuelang's bucket was emptied and filled with two big fish again, while Fu Yuan and Xia Yuelang still found nothing.
This time, the most unconvinced Fleur took the lead in betraying, but she didn't dislike Xia Yuelang's fishing earthworms, so she directly threw down her fishing rod and didn't care, and came to Xia Yuelang's side to command Xia Yuelang.
Xia Yuelang really wanted to take the opportunity to ridicule Fu Hui a few words, but his mind turned a corner smartly at this moment, and he only secretly raised his eyebrows and demonstrated against Zhao Jinyan.
Zhao Jinyan faced Xia Yuelang's provocation, still sitting quietly in his position, staring indifferently at the water where the fish hook was placed, but listening to the noisy and lively scene on the left side, what he thought in his heart is unknown.
As Xia Yuelang catches more and more fish, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the sun is getting more and more intense.
Zhao Jinyan and Xia Yuelang are okay, two big men, there is nothing to bask in, but Furui is a delicate little girl, naturally she can't be allowed to bask outdoors. So he asked the people below to pack up their things and plan to go back to the village.
When counting the loot, Zhao Jinyan didn't find nothing, and there were two small fish the size of a palm, but these two small fish, compared to Xia Yuelang's big bucket of records, were naturally not good-looking.
Xia Yuelang, who was partial, did not restrain himself, and looked at Zhao Jinyan with a smile on his face.
Fu Rui was excited, but she also felt that her approach to turning against the wall grass seemed to be a little unkind, so she had to pull Xia Yuelang to signal him to restrain himself. But if Xia Yuelang knew what convergence was, it wouldn't be him.
He didn't dare to show off at Zhao Jinyan in front of Fleur, but as soon as Fleur turned his head, he didn't restrain at all.
"It seems that the emperor is really a real dragon emperor, you don't dare to take the bait when you look at this fish. Fortunately, we don't have such an agreement that we only eat the fish we catch at noon, otherwise the emperor would not be hungry? โ
In Xia Yuelang's words, there was obviously a mocking meaning.
When Zhao Jinyan heard this, he didn't seem to hear it at all, but just smiled slightly, which also made Xia Yuelang feel like he had punched the empty cotton.
However, soon, Fleur cleaned up and walked over with a smile, and when she walked over, she also faintly felt that the atmosphere was different, but at this moment she would not be stupid enough to poke it, just smiled and whispered: "What are you talking about?" โ
"Nothing."
Without waiting for Xia Yuelang to speak, Zhao Jinyan immediately replied with a smile, he took a closer look at Fu Yuan's complexion, and asked in a gentle tone, "Have you caught the sun?" โ
"No, we all stayed under the shade of the trees!"
Fu Hui smiled, in fact, although it was drilled under the shade of the tree, how could she have been so tanned on weekdays, and her face was naturally a little uncomfortable, but in front of Zhao Jinyan, she naturally would not say it like this.
Zhao Jinyan looked carefully, and naturally saw that the skin on Fu Yuan's face was a little red, but he didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.
The chef on the village moved quickly, and on this side they had just cleaned up, and on the other side, lunch was also delivered.
In the morning, since they caught a lot of fish by themselves, most of the lunch at noon was naturally based on these fish.
Sweet and sour fish balls, braised fish, fresh bamboo shoots and fish soup...... As far as the eye can see, almost the table is full of fish, of course, in addition to fish, there are also a few fresh vegetables, eggs and meat.
The craftsmanship of the chefs in the village is naturally not as fine as that of the palace or even the chefs in the mansion of the eldest princess, but it is better than the original, and the materials for cooking are even fresher. At least Fleur likes it very much.
Although Zhao Jinyan and Xia Yuelang don't see their preferences, they are men after all, and the requirements for meals are always simpler than women's, just like Xia Yuelang, his favorite is not the fish he caught himself, but meat.
But today, he was unusual, and only vigorously recommended the fish he caught to Fluffie.
"Sister, can you taste the fish that my brother caught for you, is it delicious?"
After that, Xia Yuelang scooped the soup for the hibiscus again, and sandwiched the fish for the hibiscus, looking like he was diligent and prepared.
Fu Hui naturally enjoyed Xia Yuelang's love for her, but now after all, it was not in her own home, and Zhao Jinyan was still sitting at the dining table, and it was definitely not the time for them to express their brother-sister friendship. After Fu Yuan nodded towards Xia Yuelang, she immediately smiled at Zhao Jinyan and said, "Your Majesty, I tasted this fish soup very delicious, you can taste it too." โ
"Good ......"
Zhao Jinyan smiled and nodded, but before his words fell, he could hear Xia Yuelang, who was sitting on the side, say coldly: "Yes, the emperor has to taste it, I caught it with my own hands." โ
When Xia Yuelang spoke, he especially emphasized the word "hand". provoked Fleur to roll her eyes for a while.
However, Xia Yuelang pretended not to see the white eyes given by his sister at this time, and said with a smile: "I remember that the emperor also caught a fish, why didn't I see it at this table!" โ
"Brother!"
Fu Hui called Xia Yuelang angrily, signaling him to stop. She looked at Zhao Jinyan a little nervously, lest the other party be angry, but saw that Zhao Jinyan was just smiling and listening, and she didn't care. But Zhao Jinyan's appearance made Fu Hui more and more embarrassed, and he also tilted the rod in his heart more and more in favor of Zhao Jinyan.
She said to Xia Yuelang: "Didn't you just shout that you were hungry, hurry up and use it, don't talk too much!" โ
Xia Yuelang couldn't hear Fu Yuan's intention to maintain, and when he heard Fu Yuan say that he was too talkative, of course he was not convinced, and looked at Zhao Jinyan sitting opposite him silently pretending to be pitiful, and couldn't help but mock again: "It's also my clumsiness, isn't this the fish that the emperor fished?" โ
After that, Xia Yuelang used chopsticks to order the small plate of crispy fried fish in the middle.
It is said that the chef in the village is also doing his best, perhaps because of the orders of the people below, the two small fish that Zhao Jinyan caught, if they were on weekdays, even the people in the village themselves could not look at them, so they caught them, and most of them were thrown back, or they simply fed the cats and dogs in the village. But today, these two small fish were caught by Zhao Jinyan himself, and they are naturally worth an extraordinary amount, no matter how difficult they are, they have to rack their brains to make them.
The cook is smart, such a small fish, no matter what, can't make up a dish, so simply fry the small fish head into a small plate of cold dishes and serve it, which is rare and exquisite.
However, if there were no Xia Yuelang's words, it would be true, Xia Yuelang's words would seem to be extremely cold to Zhao Jinyan, and it would also seem that the people below were simply smart.
The people who stood behind Zhao Jinyan and came out to serve today listened to Xia Yuelang's words, and they couldn't help but sweat coldly, and scolded Xia Yuelang in their hearts.
The people below secretly looked at Zhao Jinyan, only to see that Zhao Jinyan did not have any embarrassment on his face, but smiled and picked up a piece of fish and put it into Hibiscus's bowl, and said with a warm smile: "Yue Lang's eyesight is good, I didn't even recognize that I caught this fish, Hibiscus has to taste the fish I caught." โ
The more Zhao Jinyan said that the cloud was clear and the wind was light, the more he seemed to be weak, and Zhao Jinyan was a noble person, and he was only willing to endure Xia Yuelang's anger for the sake of Fu Yuan, so it was naturally self-evident which side Fu Yuan's heart was more inclined to.
Fu Hui hurriedly picked up the fish pieces that Zhao Jinyan had put into her bowl, and put a bite into her mouth, but before she could taste it, she nodded again and again.
"Sister, this fish is so small, it is full of spines, what is delicious, be careful of stabbing you."
Xia Yuelang said sourly, and couldn't help but send the plate containing the fish he had just caught to the side of the hibiscus. Fu Hui really couldn't help but give Xia Yuelang, a brother who couldn't speak, a big eye, and only said angrily: "No, this fish is very delicious, and the fish bones are very crispy, you can bite it directly." โ
What Fu Hui said is indeed the truth, the two fish that Zhao Jinyan fished, the varieties are spiny crucian carp, naturally it is not easy to eat, but the cook can't stand the brain, the fish bones are also fried to eat, the taste does not have to be unpalatable, of course, this is what they dare to eat like this, to eat the oil used to cook these two fish, it is enough to make a table of dishes.
Fleur tasted this small fish, probably never tasted it, and felt very fresh, and Zhao Jinyan was happy to see Fleur taste the fruits of his labor, and in the end, this small dish of crispy fish was all in Fleur's mouth. Fleur's appetite is so big, a small dish of fish is not much, and it is enough for her to eat it, and in the end, Xia Yuelang worked hard to catch these many fish, except for drinking a few mouthfuls of fish soup, Fleur has not tasted a mouthful, and it is cheap Zhao Jinyan.
Xia Yuelang beat his chest in his heart, and on the way back, he was sullen and eager to find Zhao Jinyan to fight.
After Zhao Jinyan sent Fu Hui and Xia Yuelang back to the mansion of the eldest princess of Jinyang, he said goodbye and returned to the palace after saying goodbye to the eldest princess of Jinyang.
The eldest princess of Jinyang still had a light attitude towards Zhao Jinyan, not indifferent, but she was by no means enthusiastic.
After sending Zhao Jinyan away, the eldest princess of Jinyang didn't leave Fu Rui much, and only let Fu Hui go back to the house to rest. And Xia Yuelang was in the house of the eldest princess of Jinyang, and after waiting for Zhao Jinyan and Fu Hui to leave, he vomited bitterness.
For a while, he was proudly talking about how to tease Zhao Jinyan, and for a while, he complained that Fu Yuan was helping Zhao Jinyan, and when he finished speaking, he was about to pick up the cup to moisten his throat, but he saw the eldest princess of Jinyang looking at him with a gloomy face.
Xia Yuelang chuckled in his heart, thinking that the eldest princess of Jinyang was unhappy......
In fact, since the death of the first emperor, Xia Yuelang has become more and more sensible, not as ignorant as before, and knows that what he did today is somewhat inappropriate, and even a little indistinguishable from inferiority, but he also understands that Zhao Jinyan does not dare and will not be angry with him, so he dares to be so unscrupulous, and there is such a factor as Zhao Jinyan's ill intentions towards his sister in it, he can't help but go more and more excessively.
But in fact, my heart is still empty!
"Mother, if I do something wrong, then I ...... I can go and make amends to the emperor. โ
Xia Yuelang said reluctantly.
When the eldest princess of Jinyang heard this, she suddenly laughed, she shook her head with a smile, and said softly: "No need, you did a good job today, and if your mother asks you to accompany your sister to see the emperor in the future, you will continue to do this." โ
"Ah......h
Xia Yuelang listened to the words of the eldest princess of Jinyang, and was a little confused in his heart.
But the eldest princess of Jinyang didn't explain the reason, just chuckled.
