Chapter 351: Fishing

"What? Going fishing? Brother Li, take me and Yuru together! "Lu Shiya heard that she was going fishing, so naturally she wouldn't stay at home honestly and draw drawings of those mechanical parts. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Xiang said with a smile: "Although it is said that it is fishing today, in fact, the prime minister has something to discuss, Shiya, you should not go." Besides, isn't the concubine going to summon you to the palace to talk? ”

Lu Shiya smiled: "That's tomorrow." ”

Li Xiang said: "Tomorrow will be here soon." You'd better prepare first, if the concubine is happy, maybe she will taste some of your fun things again. ”

Lu Shiya shook her head and said: "The concubine Niangniang tastes some rouge, lipstick or something, and it's not fun." Saying this, he knew that he couldn't go with Li Xiang today, and his face showed a look of disappointment.

Li Xiang smiled: "Actually, do you want something fun, I think of one thing." A few days ago, I asked Master Fan to make a fun thing, and I guess it will be ready in a while. And he said, "Don't ask now, but you'll know then." ”

Lu Shiya smiled: "I naturally know this." Don't ask now, there will be surprises then. Li Xiang nodded and smiled, turned around and walked out. Zhao Er and the others had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and the group went straight to the West Lake.

In the past year, Li Xiang has developed the habit of thinking about problems in the carriage. In fact, he already felt that he was a little different from before. Two years ago, no seventeen or eighteen-year-old would have had so many things on their minds, maybe every day, playing games, or reading novels. But at this time, Li Xiang was very busy every day, and he had already devoted all his energy to the development of the industry and economy of the Great Song Dynasty. Even in the Song Dynasty at that time, few people of his age would be so tired. Li Xiang even felt a little old, even though he was less than twenty years old.

Although Li Xiang guessed somewhat, it was just a guess. Perhaps the court's control of the common people mainly relied on literati, not military generals. Li Xiang thought so.

I don't know how long it took to walk, but the carriage finally stopped on the south bank of Xihu Lake, which was not far from Jingci Temple. Jingci Temple is one of the four ancient temples in the history of West Lake in Hangzhou, because the bell in the temple is loud, and the 'Nanping Evening Bell' has become one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake. However, this temple has been repeatedly destroyed and built, and a fire a few years ago, Jingci Temple was not spared. The current temple, the mountain gate, the bell tower, the apse, are all re-modified in the past two years, and a bronze bell weighing more than 100 kilograms has been re-cast, of course, this is also the last big bell cast in Lin'an in the past two years.

For Jingzi Temple, Li Xiang doesn't know much, only knows that there is a poem "Nanping Bell Evening", which was also written by people in the Ming Dynasty, as for the "Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law" written by Zhao Puchu, it is more than 700 years later. Li Xiang was not interested in this kind of cultural landscape, so he only thought about it for a while, and then left it behind.

At this time, Ding Daquan and others had already arrived. Li Xiang looked from afar, and saw Ding Daquan sitting by the lake, and several other people were also with him, two of whom he knew.

Li Xiang thought wildly, and unconsciously got closer, and when he looked closer, he saw a straw mat with exquisite workmanship spread on the grass by the lake, and Ding Daquan was sitting on the straw mat, holding a fishing rod in his hand, staring at the lake motionlessly. Lu Yu saw Li Xiang and nodded slightly, but did not speak, obviously not wanting to disturb Ding Daquan. Li Xiang also made a gesture, signaling himself to wait on the side.

After a while, Ding Daquan always sat upright on the seat, and even his posture never changed. At this time, the surface of the lake is as horizontal as a mirror, and the float floats on the water, as if it is integrated with the lake, and there is no movement at all. Li Xiang was surprised, thinking that there were not a few fish here, why did nearly ten minutes pass, and there were still no fish to bite the hook? Could it be that the prime minister is also learning Jiang Ziya's straight hook fishing? Jiang Ziya fished an emperor, who is the prime minister fishing? Could it be me?

At this moment, the float moved slightly, Li Xiang was in a hurry, and was about to remind him, but he saw Ding Daquan suddenly raise the fishing rod, and someone next to him had already picked up the fishing hook, looked at it slightly, and said in a low voice: "Prime Minister, the bait is missing again." ”

Ding Daquan sighed, said no more, turned to Li Xiang and said with a smile: "The old man is concentrating on fishing, but there is no nephew Juexian who has come." However, it seems that luck is not good today, and no fish have been baited yet. ”

At this time, someone had already brought another fishing rod and handed it to Li Xiang. Li Xiang hurriedly thanked him, thinking that the prime minister was fishing here today, and the rest of the people were standing aside, and as soon as I came over, someone immediately sent a fishing rod, which seemed to be specially prepared for me, and said busily: "The juniors don't fish for a while...... It's been a while, I'm afraid today will make the prime minister smile. ”

Ding Daquan said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew might as well give it a try, today's fish is extremely difficult to catch." As he spoke, he held the hook in his left hand, raised the rod lightly with his right hand, and then released his left hand and steadily threw the hook into the lake.

Li Xiang also followed for a while, put the fishing hook behind him, held the rod in both hands, and only heard the sound of 'whoosh', the fishing rod was thrown straight out of the top of his head, and the hook fell far into the lake. It's just that his strength is not light this time, and he actually caused a violent ripple in the calm lake water, and it took a long time to disperse.

After another cup of tea, Li Xiang had already started twice, but he didn't get anything. Ding Daquan said with a smile: "Do you know the virtuous nephew, why is there no fish taking the bait every time the rod is raised?" ”

Li Xiang was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know the meaning of Ding Daquan's words, thinking that he might think that my fishing skills were not good, so he hurriedly said: "The junior obviously looked at the top hook twice, although he started the rod in time, but the bait was still on the hook, and he obviously didn't bite the hook. ”

Ding Daquan said strangely: "What is a top hook? Li Xiang said: "The word top hook is just a saying. This means that when the fish swallows the bait, it will try to spit out the hook, and the float will float up, which is called the top hook. Ding Daquan smiled: "I see." The anglers on the edge of the West Lake call it a spit bait, and it seems that it is also the top hook that the virtuous nephew said. ”

Saying this, Ding Daquan had already put the fishing rod back and stood up. Li Xiang also hurriedly stood up. Ding Daquan said: "Some time ago, the virtuous nephew went to Lanxi, I heard Lu Yu say that everything is going well in Lanxi, presumably the virtuous nephew has given a lot of guidance in the past." As he spoke, he turned to a pavilion not far away, and Lu Yu followed.

Li Xiang also followed behind and said as he walked: "The junior stayed in Lanxi for five days, and finally handled everything properly. In fact, even if I don't go over, Lord Zhao will arrange everything in an orderly manner. ”

At this time, Ding Daquan sat down on the wooden chair in the pavilion, and motioned for Li Xiang and Lu Yu to sit down opposite, and said with a smile: "I heard Lu Yu say, you also went to Liudong Mountain for a visit?" ”

Li Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, after all the things are done, two days have passed." According to the arrangement, the scholars will teach some experience, so Lord Zhao took me and Mr. Lu to Liudong Mountain. Speaking of which, Li Xiang had already guessed that Lu Yu must have told Ding Daquan about the situation in Liudong Mountain that day, and he insinuated that Zhao Wenyuan did not respect the teacher, and it is estimated that Ding Daquan also knew.
