Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Great Prince 3
In the early years, when Chen Jinye went to the south to study, in order to have the opportunity to go to sea, he deliberately went to a fisherman's village, where he met a very experienced old fisherman, Chen Jinye bothered him at home for a long time, and after getting acquainted with some of them, the old fisherman agreed to take Chen Jinye out to sea to see, at that time the old fisherman often held the rudder and looked at the sea, the sea was very turbulent, and the huge waves of several feet high surged one after another, the old fisherman looked at the magnificent sea without panic, and calmly muttered: "Get a point and a point, Score a point and return a ......".
At that time, Chen Jinye felt very confused, he asked the old fisherman what it means to 'get a point and return a point', the old fisherman grabbed the rudder steadily, and explained calmly in a hoarse voice: "God is the most upright, he will neither take advantage of you nor let you take advantage of it in vain", seeing that Chen Jinye was still quite puzzled, the old fisherman immediately took out a hand and pointed forward, Chen Jinye looked in the direction he pointed, only to see that the person who collected the net at the bow of the boat threw all the small fish caught back into the sea.
Chen Jinye was still very puzzled, so the old fisherman told Chen Jinye that although the river would flood the crops and destroy part of the farmland after each rainstorm, leaving farmers with less harvest and food, as the water level of the river and lake rose, the fish that were originally in the river would be carried to the well water that had been flooded by the rain with the heavy rain and flowing water. Of course, God will take away some of your things, but he will also give you some other things to make up, which is the so-called principle of getting a point for a point.
At present, the water that Chen Jinye hit was mixed with the unique fishy smell of fish, so Chen Jinye concluded so.
"But how do you get the fish out?"
As soon as Hong Ling asked, Chen Jinye looked at her with the corners of his mouth hooked, and replied to her two words: "Fishing!" βγ
Then Chen Jinye sent Xiao Si to inquire around in the disaster victims' pile to see if there were any ready-made fishermen, if there was no knowledge of the residence of the fishermen in Xicheng, Xicheng was so close to the Xicheng River, there must be people who made a living from fishing.
Soon Xiao Si came back with the news, saying that he had lived in a fisherman in the alley south of Xicheng, but now he had moved away, after learning the news, Chen Jinye immediately sent Bai Ju to the fisherman's house to search to see if he could find a fishing net or fishing rod, and after a while, Bai Ju collected five or six fishing rods and two big nets back, and the fisherman didn't take it away before leaving Xicheng.
"Little Si, do you know how many wells there are in Xicheng right now?"
Xiao Si tilted his head, frowned, and folded his fingers for a moment of distress, and then said excitedly: "If you don't say anything, you have to have thirty or forty mouths, maybe more."
Chen Jinye bowed slightly, and then took the two big nets in Bai Ju's hands, looked at them carefully, and then asked Xiao Si to take a pair of scissors, and divided a large net into two small nets, and then submerged one of them into the big well in front of him, and then submerged the other three small nets into the other wells in the same way.
Because there was no suitable bait at the moment, Chen Jinye put the fishing rod collected by Bai Ju into a small room in the post station first, and then settled Xiao Si and told him not to tell the other victims about this matter first, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes. After explaining what was going on, it was already evening, and the sky was getting dark, so Chen Jinye said goodbye to Xiao Si.
Walking on the way to the palace of the feudal king, the shadows of the three people were stretched out by the sunset, and the clouds under the reflection of the sunset were like blooming Fuso, red through half the sky.
The three of them entered leisurely through the side door, and just a few steps away, the maid in the small courtyard anxiously greeted them, and bowed very properly, and then hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Prince Qiqi, the prince of Jinsong has set up a banquet for you to catch the wind at night."
Chen Jinye nodded slightly calmly, and Hongling couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, according to her inference, she thought that Chen Jinsong would not meet Chen Jinye so soon, she had already arranged her residence so remotely, and thought that Chen Jinsong would use this to embarrass Chen Jinye and deliberately snub him, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.
Hong Ling didn't want to participate, but Chen Jinye said that even if she didn't go, the eldest prince would find another reason to summon her, Hong Ling thought that she might meet Chen Jinsong alone, and her heart was relieved, and then she immediately rushed into the room to change into clean and elegant clothes.
After the three of them changed their clothes, it was almost time for Chen Jinsong to settle, and the two maids invited Chen Jinye and the others to walk to the banquet place, and Hong Ling really had the opportunity to browse the vassal palace roughly.
Hong Ling thought that this feudal palace would be very large, but she didn't expect it to be so big, just walking four floors from where they lived, if they had already reached the center of the palace, it would mean that there were five layers of courtyard walls inside and outside the palace of the feudal king, two more floors than the Nanzhao Imperial Palace, which showed the size of this feudal palace.
Hong Ling originally thought that there might not be many maids in the vassal king's mansion, after all, there seemed to be only one doorman at the main entrance, and there were only two maids arranged for Chen Jinye to wait, but in fact, every time she went deeper, the maids and maids that Hongling saw multiplied, and the more she went to the center, the more people there were.
After a long and tortuous journey, Chen Jinye and his party finally came to the door of the banquet, and at a glance, all kinds of dancing girls had already filled the empty central venue, and a huge team of musicians surrounded the outermost part of the venue, and in the huge gap between the dancing girls and the band, three rows of banquet seats were arranged.
Such a big battle, Hong Ling couldn't help but swallow her saliva uncomfortably, since she came to this world, she had never seen a bigger scene than this, Hong Ling pursed her lips quietly, and secretly sighed that she still had less knowledge, this level of banquet is simply the sin of capital!
Chen Jinye slowed down a little by half a step and looked around, then continued to walk towards the banquet, Hongling was afraid of falling, so she hurriedly followed, followed the little maid who led the way in front of her for a long time, and the group of three finally arrived at the first position on the right side of the guest seat.
Looking slightly towards the left front, the position where Chen Jinsong was about to sit was already three feet tall from the guest seat, and the golden position was almost blinding the eyes of the guests present, and then looking back at the people who sat down, Hong Ling couldn't help but wonder in her heart, how could there be so many officials in this West City?
After secretly glancing at Chen Jinye for a long time, Hong Ling finally couldn't help but ask: "The life of the eldest prince should have surpassed the level of the king, right?" Isn't it a crime? βγ
"Doesn't count"
It didn't count, Hong Ling remembered that she used to see on TV that those ancient ministers and princes didn't dare to eat and wear so much at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and if they exceeded a certain standard, it was a signal to be recognized as rebellion, but I didn't expect that this was not the case in this world, Hong Ling shook her head slightly and sighed, it seems that she has time to give Chen Jinye advice, let him discuss with the king to add this article.
"The lord of the vassal has arrivedβ"
After one loud announcement after another, the dancing girls in the center of the banquet knelt down on one knee, the musicians also put down the instruments they played, and many guests got up together, bowing their heads slightly towards the chairman's seat, but Chen Jinye sat on the seat majestically, should drink tea and drink tea, eat side dishes and eat side dishes, and did not delay at all.
Hong Ling and Bai Ju stood up with everyone, facing the golden position, the voice of the announcer was silent for a long time, and Chen Jinsong, who was wearing a four-clawed python embroidered with a bright and bright golden silk hook as a totem and a dark red silk cloth as the base, appeared on the stage.
He is eight feet tall, with a tall and muscular figure, a pair of sky-splitting eyebrows covered with a pair of single-skinned peach blossom eyes, a hooked nose with an evil hooked mouth, there is neither indifference nor height in his eyes, all of them are full of straightforward greed.
He raised his head and held his hips and let the maid help him walk to the seat step by step, and then sat down casually and comfortably, during which he did not forget to hook up a bunch of grapes and handed it to his mouth, proudly looking at the guests under the table and saluting respectfully, and then slowly locked his eyes on Chen Jinye and his party.
As the grape seeds in Chen Jinsong's mouth landed, Chen Jinsong didn't even bother to say anything and slowly raised his hand to avoid everyone's courtesy.
"I don't know what the relationship between this little beauty and this king's brother is?"
Hong Ling was slightly stunned, quickly brainstormed, and replied: "Lord Qi, the little woman was rescued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the hands of the thieves, and since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saved the little girl, the little woman promised to ask for the position of a concubine of His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Oh? Looks like you're very fond of this king's royal brother? β
Hong Ling pretended to hide her face and nodded, Chen Jinsong let go of Hong Ling, motioned for her to sit down, and then pointed the finger at Chen Jinye, who had been drinking tea quietly, the banquet was silent, everyone held their breath, and did not dare to move and waited for Chen Jinsong's next move, Chen Jinsong did look at Chen Jinye for a long time, but he never said a word.
I saw him raise his hand lazily again, and the musicians on the periphery began to play lively, and the dancing girl kneeling on the ground in the middle immediately got up and continued to dance.
Hong Ling secretly glanced at Chen Jinye a few times, he neither looked up at Chen Jinsong nor admired the dancing girl in front of him, only occasionally pinched a few fruits and sent them to his mouth to eat, most of the time, he just sat and played with the teacup in his hand without changing his face.
Chen Jinsong is also a calm master, Chen Jinye doesn't talk to him, doesn't look at him, he is not in a hurry to talk to Chen Jinye but stares at him tightly, Chen Jinsong's straight eyes seem to lock Chen Jinye, and occasionally hook the corners of his mouth and hum a few times, Hongling had to swallow saliva secretly, pretending to be stupid.
