Chapter 1292: Wash away the smell of fish
On the sparkling lake, a small boat is drifting with the waves.
Liu Wei sat at the bow of the boat, holding the fishing rod in both hands, staring at the goose feather tube float floating on the water without blinking.
As the water ripples, the float also rises and falls.
In the hull of the boat, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen were guarding one side, and they were also watching the floats on the water intently.
None of them spoke, waiting for their first fish to take the bait.
used the bait brought by Liu Wei and the guards, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen were very bottomless in their hearts.
They had fished in the past, but the bait was all worms dug out of the ground, and they had never used dough soaked in sesame oil.
The two sisters have no bottom in their hearts, and Liu Wei, who is sitting on the bow of the boat, is flat and stable, looking like he is sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.
Holding the fishing rod, he sat on the boat for a while, and there was still no fish to bite the hook, Wang Liu couldn't bear to ask Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, ...... this bait?" ”
"Shh Turning his head to look at her, Liu Wei raised a finger and covered her lips, asking her not to say anything.
Seeing him like this, Wang Liu pursed his lips, and sure enough, he didn't say anything more.
"Take the bait!" As soon as she turned her gaze to the float on the surface of the water again, Liu Wei at the bow of the boat shouted, and with a strong arm, he threw the fishing rod up.
The fishing line was provoked, and Wang Liu and Wang Zhen both saw that at the end of the fishing line, a fish less than half a foot long was fluttering and was picked up by Liu Wei to the boat.
When the fish fell into the boat, Wang Zhen hurriedly stepped forward, pulled the hook from its mouth, looked up and said to Liu Yile: "The bait used by His Majesty really works!" ”
"It works!" With a grin, Liu Wei said: "I used this kind of bait to catch more than twenty or thirty catties of big fish back then!" ”
Hearing that he had caught a big fish with this kind of bait, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen didn't believe it.
"What, don't you believe me?" Seeing the disbelief on the faces of the two sisters, Liu Wei said to them: "If there is a big fish in this lake, I will definitely catch one!" ”
Glancing at each other, Wang Liu said to Liu Wei: "What His Majesty said, how dare the last general not believe it, but although there were big fish in this lake that day, I haven't seen a slightly larger fish since then, and I want to be disappointed if I come to My Majesty today!" ”
After following Liu Wei for a long time, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen talked to him quite casually without outsiders, and Liu Wei would definitely not be unhappy because they said something slightly arrogant.
With a grin, Liu Wei didn't say anything, and threw the hook into the lake again.
Two or three hours passed, and seeing that the sun was about to set, although they all caught some fish, the fish they caught were not very large, and the largest one was only more than a foot long.
Turning his head to look at the fish on the boat, Liu Wei showed a touch of disappointment on his face, and said to Wang Liu and Wang Zhen: "It's getting late, if I have leisure tomorrow, I'll come back later......"
"Your Majesty, there are fish!" Before he finished his words, Wang Zhen, who was holding the fishing rod in both hands, shouted.
Hearing her shout, Liu Wei and Wang Liu hurriedly put down their fishing rods, ran to her side, and looked into the lake with the side of the boat.
Wang Zhen held the fishing rod, the fishing line was straightened, and the water surface also turned up from time to time.
Seeing this scene, Liu Wei hurriedly said: "Grab the fishing rod, don't fight it!" By its strength, wait until it has no strength and then pull! ”
Listening to Liu Wei's words, Wang Zhen sent the fishing rod out slightly, and let it drag the fishing line to swim with the strength of the fish.
The fish in the water fluttered, and at first the waves were only relatively gentle ripples, but later, the waves became bigger and bigger, and it was obvious that the fish were getting closer and closer to the surface.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he slammed it on the side of the boat, looking at the waves on the water, Liu Wei also looked very nervous.
From the fluttering of the fish, he could see that this fish was definitely not small, at least thirty or twenty catties.
What he was worried about was whether a fishing rod made of thin fishing lines and bamboo rods could withstand such a heavy fish.
"Whoa!" With a sound of water, the fish finally jumped out of the water and jumped out of the air.
Accompanied by a huge splash of water, a big fish with scales shining golden in the setting sun appeared in the sight of Liu Wei and the others.
Seeing this big fish, Wang Zhen couldn't help but have a smug look on his face, while Wang Liu and Liu Wei looked nervous, for fear that the fish would run away.
Seeing the hard work of Wang Zhen and the fish, Wang Liu stretched out his hand to grab the fishing line and give her a handful of strength.
Before she could catch the fishing line, Liu Wei's hand grabbed her wrist and shook his head at her.
The wrist was grabbed by Liu Wei, and Wang Liu's cheeks instantly turned red, but he didn't dare to withdraw his hand.
Just caring about the fish in the water, Liu Wei didn't notice the strangeness in her expression, stopped her from catching the fishing line, and shouted to Wang Zhen: "The fish is already boring, hold on, but don't let it run!" ”
Seeing the big fish jump onto the water, Wang Zhen of course didn't want it to run away, holding the fishing rod with both hands, competing with the fish in the water.
The sun had mostly set below the horizon, and the sky was getting darker and darker, but the three people in the boat were all concerned about the big fish that had not yet been caught, and did not think that they should return to the shore.
"You can drag it!" Seeing that the splash of the big fish was getting smaller and smaller, Liu Wei grabbed the fishing line and shouted at Wang Liu and Wang Zhen while dragging it to the boat.
Hearing him say that he could be pulled, Wang Zhen held the fishing rod and didn't dare to relax at all, but Wang Liu didn't dare to reach out to help lightly.
Fishing is not as good as anything else, there are many people, and sometimes they will help the fish run.
Pulling the fishing line, he pulled the fish in the water to the side of the boat, and Liu Wei grabbed the gills.
When his hand reached into the gills, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Grabbing the gills of the fish, he pulled it up and pulled the fish onto the boat.
Falling into the boat, the big fish was still fluttering freely, shaking the boat around.
This fish is not very big, at least it is smaller than the one that took a lot of manpower to catch that day.
It was about two or three feet long, but it was only twenty or thirty pounds, and it was not the kind of catfish that was picked up that day, but a carp with silver scales.
Glancing at the bait that was caught, Liu Wei grinned at Wang Liu and Wang Zhen and said, "I've been fishing for a long time today, and I don't want to be the biggest one that Wang Zhen has caught!" The two of you have not eaten, and we will wait for the servants later, so we will set up a table in the harem and drink two together, to celebrate Wang Zhen's catch of a big fish! ”
"No!" Although he followed Liu Wei all day long, there were not many opportunities to eat with him, he proposed to drink two together, how could Wang Liu and Wang Zhen do more pushing, and hurriedly responded with a fist.
They got up in the boat and returned to the lake with half a boatload of fish, and a group of guards who had been waiting by the lake hurriedly met them and pulled the boat for them, and when they got out of the boat, two guards jumped on the boat and threw the fish to the shore.
"Your Majesty has gained a lot today!" The two guards lifted the largest fish, and one of them said, "Such a big fish, even in the Yellow River, is rare!" ”
The guard's words were obviously patting Liu Bian's ass, but Liu Biao didn't care, and said with a smile: "You wait to send the fish to the dining room, pick the fatter one, and ask the cook to make a few for me and the two generals, and I'll wait for a few raw drinks tonight." ”
"No!" The guards answered, packed the fish into a large cloth bag, lifted it and left.
"Wait!" As soon as the guards took two steps, Liu Wei stopped them again and said to them: "Don't make the biggest one, the big fish has a lot of oil and gas, and it is not delicious!" ”
"Order!" At his command, the guards answered again, lifted the fish, and headed in the direction of the dining room.
Looking at the backs of the guards leaving, Liu Wei put his hand on his nose and sniffed it, and said to Wang Liu and Wang Zhen: "I have been fishing for a long time and have a fishy smell, I will wait and wash it, and the guards will send the fish that has been done!" ”
Wang Liu and Wang Zhen answered and followed Liu Wei towards the bathing place.
In the Imperial Palace, each dormitory has a bathing room.
The room is not furnished with a large wooden barrel, but a bath made of solid wood.
Since it is not very easy to boil water, the bath is not very large, but it can accommodate two or three people to soak together.
Following Liu Wei, to the dormitory where he rested on weekdays, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen sent him to the bathhouse, and the two turned their backs to the door, crossed their waists with one hand and pressed the hilt of the sword with the other, and opened the door for him.
If the two are not women, Liu Wei can also ask them to take a bath together.
After all, they are daughters, and it is absolutely impossible for Liu Wei to make such a proposal.
On weekdays, there will always be some hot water in the bathhouse, so that there is no hot water supply when Liu Wei wants to take a bath.
Back in this dormitory, Liu Wei had not yet ordered the palace maids to prepare hot water for bathing, so several palace maids took hot water from the water room and added it to the small bath.
It's just a small half of the tea, and the palace maids mix up most of the pool of water.
"Your Majesty, you can wash it!" After preparing the bathing water, a palace maid walked up to Liu Bian, blessed him, and reported softly.
Nodding, Liu Wei went straight into the bath, while Wang Liu and Wang Zhen stayed outside the door and guarded the door for him.
Following Liu Wei into the bath room, there were also two young and beautiful palace maids.
The two palace maids, one of them held a tray for dry clothes, and in the tray in the other's hand, there was a silk handkerchief for bathing and a few leaves of honey locusts.
"Prepare a dry shirt for the two generals Wang Liu and Wang Zhen!" Walking to the pool, Liu Wei untied his clothes and gave an order to the two palace maids standing behind him.
"No!" The two palace maids responded softly, and did not leave immediately, but put the tray in their hands on the wooden shelf in the house, walked behind Liu Wei together, and gently helped him remove his clothes.
