Chapter 45: Fishing
In the evening, Ji Ling came to Ji Qiao's room and whispered: "After I entered the city today, I learned from Fan Dan that someone was secretly inquiring about a black boy and a young man, and it should be King Qi's people who are investigating us. ”
Ji Qiao immediately became worried: they still found Linzi!
However, he comforted: "If you come, you will be safe!" Moreover, thou hast become much whiter now, and thy countenance and movements are no different from those of a woman, and thou shalt not be able to find out from us. Now even I almost treat you as a woman! ”
Ji Ling suddenly said: "Brother Qiao, in fact, I was originally a woman, but my father and mother deliberately dressed me as a boy, in order to hide my identity after escaping from the island." ”
Ji Qiao was surprised at the same time! It felt normal again, and sighed, "Hey! I should have guessed that the first time I saw you, you were a boy, so I didn't think about it all the time. Since you are a real woman now, we don't have to be afraid, even if King Qi's people find out, I will have a way to deal with it. ”
Ji Ling believed that Ji Qiao had this ability, so he smiled and said, "I also know that I can't hide this matter from Brother Qiao for long." ”
Ji Qiao suddenly warned: "You are not allowed to sneak into my bed in the future." ”
Ji Ling held his mouth and said, "I'm only ten years old, what are you afraid of!" Besides, sleeping with you is also worthy of you. ”
Ji Qiao shook his head desperately, resolutely disagreeing.
......
Lin Yan was saying to Dongfang Jiao at this time: "Madam, the more I look at Qiao Gongzi, the more pleasing I become, or we will take the initiative to propose marriage to him and marry Shi'er to him." ”
Dongfang Jiao sighed: "Why don't I want to!" But Qiao Gongzi is a little confused, I don't know if he really likes poetry? What's more, the princess also has a deep affection for Qiao Gongzi! If Gongzi Qiao is interested in the princess and doesn't look down on poetry, wouldn't it embarrass everyone if we bring up this matter! ”
Lin Yan immediately shook his head and sighed: "Alas, the princess's appearance is not inferior to Shi'er, and her brain is stronger than Shi'er, especially this identity is much stronger!" I used to think that the conditions of poetry were very good, but I didn't know that it couldn't be compared at all! What worries me the most is that the princess still has a special appreciation for Qiao Gongzi, but Shi'er doesn't take it to heart. ”
Dongfang Jiao smiled again: "You don't understand this, Shi'er actually admires Qiao Gongzi!" Although he disobeyed him on the surface, when he encountered important things, he obeyed his words. Maybe Shi'er is young and playful, and she doesn't understand the affairs of men and women! ”
"Alas, play again, this good man will be gone! If it doesn't work, let Shi'er be a concubine! ”
Ziyan shook his head and sighed again, and said in his heart: If Gongzi Qiao really succeeds with the princess, he will retreat and seek the next best!
......
In the next few days, Ji Qiao has been leading everyone to be busy. The wasteland has been reclaimed in great numbers; Soldiers are training intensively; Iron-smelting technology has improved a lot, which is much higher than the level at that time.
Ji Qiao was thinking: There are not many people in the fiefdom, and a few hundred men have been recruited out, and there will be fewer people engaged in agricultural production, but in order to quickly develop the army and be able to protect themselves, this is also a last resort! However, through its own reform of agricultural production tools, it can also make up for this problem.
......
During this time, Lin Shi and Ji Ling went into the city every day to play, and sometimes called the princess out.
But now all the expenses are Ji Ling's expenses, because Lin Shi and the princess both know that Ji Ling has more money than herself.
Now, the competition has been over for half a month.
Xuanwu Hou was obsessed with this matter and wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge.
......
After a few days of work by Mrs. Dongfang and Steward Chen, the matter of reclaiming wasteland has reached a certain scale, and the area of cultivated land in the fiefdom has increased by nearly half.
Dongfang Jiaoxin said: In another two or three months, the cultivated land area can be increased by at least two times, and the efficiency of one-person work has also increased by more than three times. If you can really plant two crops of rice, Qiao Gongzi's grain output will increase tenfold, which is still a very conservative statement!
When Ji Qiao was walking around the field in the past few days, he saw some dug canals, and there were many fish in the water, and he couldn't help but sigh: The current ecological environment is really good!
At the same time, he was also interested, and said to Lin Qing after returning home: "Son, this matter of reclaiming land and forming an army is being carried out in an orderly manner, it is better to have a day off tomorrow, and I will go fishing." ”
"Okay." Lin Qing agreed.
Ji Qiao hurriedly asked people to make a few fish hooks, cut a few bamboos, prepared some clues, and asked people to dig up some earthworms, and made all preparations.
......
After breakfast the next day, the two set off on horseback.
But after not walking for long, Lin Qing suddenly said that his stomach was uncomfortable and he wanted to go back, so he asked Ji Qiao to go first.
Ji Qiao had no choice but to leave first.
When I got to the place, I fished it first.
Soon, Lin Shi suddenly rode over and shouted: "I thought you were busy with business, it turned out that there was something fun and didn't call me, but fortunately my brother let me come." ”
"Where's Childe?" Ji Qiao hurriedly asked.
Lin Shi said angrily: "My mother suddenly asked my brother and Ji Ling to go into the city on errands, and she didn't let me go." ”
"Oh." Ji Qiao's heart is happy! I wish Lin Qing didn't come.
Lin Shi said casually: "If you want to eat fish, call someone to catch it." ”
Ji Qiao smiled: "You know a fart, it's like I like a woman, it's so boring to grab it directly, it's fun to chase it slowly." ”
Lin Shi immediately scolded: "You rascal, you also think of women when fishing." ”
As he was talking, Ji Qiao suddenly caught one, then took it off and put it in the barrel.
Lin Shi became energetic, immediately pushed Ji Qiao aside, and fished with dried fish by himself.
Ji Qiao was a little angry: "Then what am I fishing?" ”
Lin Shi smiled: "You make another one." ”
Ji Qiao couldn't help it, anyway, there were fish hooks, bamboo, and ropes, so he hurriedly went to do it.
......
After Lin Shi saw that he was ready, he hurriedly asked angrily: "I've been fishing for so long, why haven't I caught the bait?" ”
Ji Qiao just laughed and didn't speak.
Lin Shi threatened: "You don't say yes, do you?" I kept throwing rocks into the water, and no one wanted to fish. ”
"If you don't get bait, how can you catch it? I thought this fish was like me, and when I saw a beautiful woman, I took the initiative to take the bait. "Ji Qiao was really afraid that she would make trouble, so she had to tell the truth!
When Lin Shi heard this, she was angry and happy, but she asked again: "Where is the bait?" ”
Ji Qiao pointed to the half-cut bamboo tube next to him.
Lin Shi walked over to take a look, and suddenly shouted: "What is this?" It's disgusting! ”
"Earthworms, fish delicacies." Ji Qiao replied.
Lin Shi suddenly sent the dried fish to Ji Qiao: "Help me get the bait." ”
Ji Qiao said angrily: "If it weren't for your good looks, I would kick you into the water." ”
But after saying that, I went to help her get on the bait.
Lin Shi actually said with great contempt: "Why don't you kick it down now." ”
Ji Qiao knew that this woman couldn't be provoked, so he sighed in a low voice: "Alas! So fierce, how will I soak you in the future! ”
I didn't know that Lin Shi heard it, but I didn't understand what "bubble" meant, so I asked, "What do you mean?" You still want to soak me in water. ”
"Soak you big-headed ghost, I don't mean to sleep with you." Ji Qiao said loudly.
Lin Shi suddenly flew and kicked Ji Qiao into the water, and scolded loudly: "Dead pervert!" ”
"Can't you talk about it?" Ji Qiao was very unconvinced, and at the same time crawled out of the water.
Lin Shi ignored him and rode back directly.
It's October, and although there is sun, it's still a little cold.
Ji Qiao hurriedly carried the wooden bucket, took the dried fish, and rode away, wanting to go back to the house to change into clean clothes.
Lin Yan didn't go to court today, and when he saw Ji Qiao coming back, he was still carrying a wooden bucket and a bamboo pole, and his whole body was wet. Busy asking: "What are you doing?" ”
Ji Qiao said with a hippie smile: "I personally went into the water to catch fish and make up for the Hou Ye and his wife." ”
But after that, I hurried to the room.
