Wang Yi wanted to speak and stopped, but Zhou Nan still looked discolored, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing that he accidentally frightened his wife and concubine, Han Gang sighed helplessly and smiled with relief: "Don't worry." It's just for your father, a few of you, as well as Kuiguan, Jin Niang and the second brother, after the husband goes outside, he will definitely be cautious in his words and deeds, and he will not talk nonsense. Think about the past, when the husband did wrong. ”

Wang Yi cautiously persuaded Han Gang a few more words, and together with Zhou Nan, got up and walked back to the tent on the shore to watch the children.

Han Gang sat quietly, and the fishing rod in his hand did not move. Half a day passed, and there was no movement, like a statue.

It's not a rebellious statement, it's just a revelation. Even in front of the Son of Heaven, Han Gang actually dared to say it, and he would not be offended by this. If you really want to talk about it, Han Gang vaguely remembers that Bao Zheng said even more mean things to Emperor Renzong. And the courtiers who bluntly said that the Son of Heaven was lonely and cold also had it.

What really rebelled was Han Gang's mind.

It is impossible for him to maintain a reverence for the Son of Heaven like the people of this era.

But even if it is only for the sake of his wife and children, Han Gang has no intention of embarking on the dangerous road of nine deaths. But even if he is on a safe road, Han Gang will work hard towards his goal.

Han Gang was confident that he had enough time to get to a place where he could achieve his goal.

It's not just power.

Power is not enough, and no matter how great the power of the prime minister is at this time, it is also built on the beach. Reputation is more important - it is not Wang Anshi's reputation, the reputation is all from the mouth of the scholar, and in one day, the thirty-year renaming suddenly turned into ashes. It's a higher level.

You have to learn from Zhou Gong, and you have to learn from Wang Mang.

Although the results were good and bad, the two sages had something to learn from Han Gang.

The first thing is to do something in the ordnance superintendent.

"Third brother, have you caught a carp?" Han Yunniang ran over happily, interrupting Han Gang's gloomy thoughts.

His face was red from the cold, and he smiled like a flower. The tip of the pretty nose was also red, which made Han Gang can't help but want to pinch it. Staying at home all year round and not going out at will really stuffed her. Han Yunniang is only seventeen years old this year, although she is already a wife, she is still at the most lively age.

Han Gang looked back at the tent on the river beach, where Wang Yi and Zhou Nan were both looking. If you want Han Gang to recover her good mood, Han Yunniang, who has been with her since childhood, is the most suitable person.

Turning his head, he faced a fancy face: "Not yet." ”

Han Yunniang held her skirt in one hand, squatted down in front of the ice cave, and looked inside curiously: "When will you be able to catch it?" ”

Han Gang Ha Lu Ha smiled: "How can I know the Dao? Your third brother can't pinch and count. ”

As he was saying this, suddenly the fishing rod in front of him sank and bent up.

The fishing rod was bent like a crescent moon, and Yun Niang hurriedly said: "Bite the hook!" Biting the hook! The third brother bites the hook. ”

The little hand pulled Han Gang's sleeve down, very anxious for Han Gang.

Han Gang smiled bitterly: "I didn't bite the hook, it was the fish that bite." ”

Although he was joking, his hands holding the rod did not let go at all. The fish that bit the hook struggled so hard that the force of pulling the rod even made Han Gang stand up from the sleigh car.

Han Gang suddenly became excited: "It seems to be a big fish"

Han Yunniang was also anxiously urging beside her: "Hurry up." Third brother, hurry up. ”

Han Gang pressed his arms hard and lifted it hard. The fishing rod he used did not have as many bits and pieces of equipment as later generations, but a strong twine tied to the bamboo pole. But such a fishing rod was bought by an old fisherman, and catching fish did not delay things at all, but was very convenient.

There was a lot of movement here in Han Gang, and Zhou Nan and Wang Yi both ran over to see if this Han Gang could catch a big fish.

The fish on the hook struggled for a long time, and finally relented, and Han Gang saw the opportunity, and with both hands, he pulled it up at once.

With a bang, the fish scurrying back and forth in the ice cave were finally lifted out of the water. Jumping up and down on the hook, the rod shook for a while.

This movement was very loud, and Han Gang was sweating. But the prey that caught the bait was unexpectedly small, just a small trash fish the size of a palm. wrestling back and forth in the air, splashing the water on Han Gang's face.

Han Gang shook his head stupidly, took the fish off the hook, and threw it on the ground next to the ice cave. Wang Yi and Zhou Nan next to him both smiled and bent over, and the depression in Fang Cai's heart dissipated a lot at once.

Han Yunniang took the fish basket and watched Han Gang throw the fish onto the ice, and also threw the basket down. She looked forward to it in vain for a long time, pouting a little unhappily, very childish.

Han Gang gave up at this time, feeling that it was no fun to fish any longer, and returned to the tent on the river beach with his wife and concubine. He fished for a long time, and the two or three he caught were not carp, and he didn't know it. They were all thrown on the ice, and in a moment they were frozen and stiff.

Fortunately, there were a few of the entourages brought by Han Gang who knew about fishing, and they were guarding the periphery from afar, and by the way, they also made holes in the ice, and got seven or eight Yellow River carp for Han Gang.

They were all more than a foot long, and they had been frozen in the cold wind.

Yan Suxin held the kitchen knife in his hand and commanded the two cooks who came with him to deal with the carp on the river beach.

The fish soup began to boil in the small pot on one side, and Yan Suxin began to cook the other fish with their gills and gutts removed on the cutting board. It is made of nothing else, but the most popular fish in Beijing today, that is, sashimi.

One is to look at the freshness of the fish, as well as the species. The Yellow River carp is one of the best river fish, and it has just been caught, so it couldn't be fresher.

Equally important is the knife work. Yan Suxin is the best at this matter. The fish slices she came out were as thin as cicada wings, so white that they were almost transparent, and they seemed to float up when they blew on it.

Han Gang picked up a slice, took up some spices and put it in his mouth, and the cold and tender taste suddenly spread in his mouth.

Putting down the chopsticks, Han Gang smiled at Su Xin and said, "If Ouyang Wenzhong and Liu Yuanfu are still there, if they can taste Su Xin's craftsmanship, they will not always carry fish to visit Mei Shengyu's house [Mei Yaochen]." ”

Mei Yaochen's maid is good at making fish, Ouyang Xiu and Liu Chang, 'every time you think about food, you must mention the fish past'. Although he had not tasted the craftsmanship of Mei Yaochen's maid, Han Gang was sure that Yan Suxin's methods were definitely not under him.

"Mei Shengyu? Is that the catfish on the bamboo pole? Wang Yi asked.

"Yes!" Zhou Nan smiled and nodded, she was more familiar with the story of Beijing than Han Gang and Wang Yi, "It's Mei Yaochen Mei Shengyu who put the catfish on the bamboo pole and the fox into the cloth bag." ”

Mei Yaochen has been famous for his poems for 30 years, and has a close relationship with Ouyang Xiu and other important ministers, but unfortunately he has never been allowed to work in a museum. In his later years, he participated in the revision of the "Book of Tang", and said to his wife Diao: "My book repair can be described as a sack of cloth." Diao replied: "Jun's eunuch is no different from a bamboo pole on a catfish." ”

Mei Yaochen said that it was as easy for him to revise history books as it was for a monkey to drill a cloth bag, but Diao laughed at him for being an official, but it was more difficult than a catfish climbing a bamboo pole. The conversation between Mei Yaochen and his wife was a good pair, and after being listened to, it quickly spread.

Whether it is Han Gang, or Wang Yi, Zhou Nan and Yun Niang, they are full of praise for Su Xin's craftsmanship. Today's fish sauce is a testament to her cooking skills.

Han Gang ate half of the chopsticks and stopped chopsticks. Although the fish is good, you can't eat too much, especially in winter, eating too much will hurt the spleen and stomach. And the others didn't eat much,

Han Gang's two sons and daughters were clamoring to go down to the ground at this time. When the two children reached the river, they were always carried by the nursing mother, and they were not allowed to go down to the ground for a moment. After all, it's on the ice, and the hole has been hewn, and adults can't fall down, and children can't say for sure. Especially children around the age of three still like to run around, and it is easy to get into accidents.

Han Gang hugged his children to his knees, and smiled at his wife and concubine: "I have stolen half a day of leisure, but today is a rare leisure." ”

Yan Suxin smiled a little sadly: "But after two days, the officials will be busy again." ”

"And it was only for a while." Han Gang smiled at her comfortingly: "I don't want to get involved in the current affairs of the court. Han Zihua and Lu Jifu are selfish, why should they wade into the muddy waters for their husbands. Do what you like, and your heart will be more relaxed. In the coming days, I can also accompany you more. ”

……………………

"Han Gang still refuses to obey the edict?"

"If you go back to the official's house, the government will mention that Han Gang really refuses to be summoned."

Tong Guan, who was ordered to go to Baima County, didn't even dare to raise his head, he went to Baima County for the second time the day before yesterday and ordered Han Gang to take over, but Han Gang refused again and did not let go at all.

Zhao Ji sighed secretly, after all, he was not worried.

He had also heard a little bit of news from Sun Yong before, Han Gang only wanted an ordnance supervisor, but he was unwilling to accept the inspection of the Chinese book. Although it is easy to be promoted if you go to Zhongshu, it will be mixed into the current chaotic court situation, which is indeed not a good thing from Han Gang's point of view.

But Han Gang's calculations, Zhao Ji can also see it clearly.

What is this?!

Seeing that Wang Anshi is gone, it is just time to make waves in Beijing?

Send Guan Xue to the capital, and let Zhang Zai preach the truth of learning from things in Kaifeng City. If he is given a chance, maybe he will turn his head and make another suggestion to let Zhang Zai enter the Jingyi Bureau.

The courtiers have selfish intentions, and Zhao Ji can also measure it, Han Gang's selfishness is good, it is for his teacher and his academics. It's better to be more upright than for money and grandchildren.

But selfishness is selfishness, for the court, for the Son of Heaven, in fact, it is the same.

Zhao Ji is not intolerant of the selfishness of his courtiers, but if he wants to be selfish, it is better not to show it so obviously.

"Tong Guan!"

"The slave is here!"

"You go to Baima County, spread my message, and Xuan Hangang will enter the Hajj immediately. I'm going to ask him personally! ”
