In the evening, the King of Qi, the prince of Yu, and the prince of the county came to the Yuan Mansion with some ginseng supplements.

The appearance of Yuan's mansion is a common house style in the capital, but it is simple and exquisite inside. There are many gardens of flowers and plants, plus trees and rocks in them, and the octagonal pavilions of flower corridors are all built on the streams. Occasionally, a few raised waterfowl pass in front of you, and they all show a lush and moist atmosphere.

"This Yuan Mansion ...... I didn't expect this to look like this......" Prince Yu muttered.

"How?" King Qi was puzzled.

"I just think it's ...... with our husband There is something wrong with the awesome temperament. Prince Yu whispered again.

King Qi was silent, and the little guy who led the way in front of him said with a smile: "Our Yuan Mansion is a house that Mrs. has repaired and rectified, and the adults are from Hangzhou, so Mrs. has added some sense of Jiangnan water town to the house." ”

Yuwang Shizi said that this is the case, but I don't think that Mr. is like that Jiangnan person, who is clearly from the capital.

The little guy smiled and didn't argue, and took the two nobles to the water pavilion.

At this time, the sun hung on the west mountain, dyeing the water pavilion warm and golden.

A few women in blue clothes on the water pavilion seem to be cooking tea on a fire, busy and having their own rules. On the warm and smoky lake, there are two small boats, and there are two leisurely idlers on each boat, each with a fishing rod in his hand, and the fishing line is long, which hides the appearance and is also a trace of gold dyed with the sunset.

Before long, one person let out a low cry, tightened the fishing rod, and lifted it up, and it was a fresh yellow carp with a reddish back and tail.

"Oh, the yellow carp that King Gong caught looks like it has to weigh three or four pounds!" A crisp and sharp voice above the water pavilion pierced the tranquility, making the scene in front of him suddenly lively.

"It turns out that King Gong and they arrived early." Prince Yu said with a smile, seeing those people fishing, he would inevitably be gearing up.

"Sir, sir......" Prince Yu shouted above the lake, Yuan Zhiheng saw the three of them, got up and shook slightly, this is not Jingyang Palace, as a courtier, he has to salute when he sees the prince of the prince.

"Three distinguished guests, can you prepare a small raft to come over?" The little guy hurriedly asked.

King Qi didn't expect his brother King Gong to come a long time ago, so he couldn't help frowning slightly, and snorted coldly and thought that he was recuperating at home, who knew that he still had the leisure to fish, and it seemed that he was not injured at all.

"Okay, a raft, three fishing rods, one bag of fish food, do you still have a fish basket?" King Yu smiled and flew away.

"Yes, yes, all of them, the little ones are going to get ready." The little girl took the gift from the hands of the three of them, handed it to an errand girl on the side, and asked her to hand it over to the winter snow girl, and he went to fetch the raft and get the fishing rod and fish food.

Although King Qi frowned and had a cold face, he endured it and did not brush his sleeves away. When the raft was on the water, the three of them really took it and slowly drove towards the center of the lake.

It was late autumn, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the mountains were far away, and the fish were particularly fat, and several people were transferred up one after another, and almost everyone's fish basket was not empty.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhiheng simply abandoned the fishing rod and used a crab net instead. King Gong, who was in the same boat with him, looked at this crab net very interestingly, and couldn't help but accept the fish tank and came to help.

"Sir, can this net really catch crabs? I've only heard of people fishing for crabs with chicken intestines, and this is the first time I've caught crabs. ”

"This net is made by my wife to the craftsman, called the iron foot net, she said to look at the ancient books of the previous dynasty, there are Wu people to lead the boat to take crabs, sink the iron foot net, there is also a reason." Yuan Zhiheng mentioned his wife, and there was a faint smile on his face.

King Gong also smiled and said: "The master is highly talented, well-read, and even knows how to catch crabs." ”

"She's just reading idle books." Under the gold-sprinkled sunset, Yuan Zhiheng's eyebrows became more and more soft, he was originally good-looking, but he was used to being cold-eyed and cold-eyed, and others couldn't see the real chapter.

At this time, a small boat with a warehouse sailed out of the water pavilion and shuttled between three rafts. There were two maids standing on it, one holding the oar, and the other carrying a large straw basket in her hand.

"My lord, Madame asked us to collect the fish. The pot has been set up, and we will eat a whole fish feast on the water pavilion tonight! "It was the letter of the oars that spoke.

Rose jumped from their boat into the boat with the straw basket, and King Gong handed the basket over with a smile. Rose took the fish basket, poured a few yellow carp into her big straw basket, and handed the fish basket back to King Gong.

"Tell Madame, take a steamer, prepare some Huadiao wine, and eat the steamed crab later." Yuan Zhiheng said as he stared at the movement of the crab net.

"Yes, sir." Rose jumped into the boat, and the two of them made their way to the next raft.

King Qi handed over the fishing rod in his hand to King Yu, walked over and said, "Show me what good things Mr. and King Gong have caught?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness King Qi, His Royal Highness King Gong caught two yellow carp and one chariot head oil bream; My adults caught a large silver carp weighing more than six catties, and five lake catfish, a total of six! ”

The maid was not stunned and returned with a smile.

"Haha, this girl is interesting, these three fished by His Royal Highness King Gong are the most conspicuous, and I want to show off your family." King Yuwang also came over to take a look, and couldn't help laughing.

The maid was not annoyed, took the fish baskets of the three people, poured them into the straw baskets one by one, returned to the boat with a smile, and then went to the "next family" to receive fish.

A breeze with water vapor blew, and there were slight ripples on the surface of the lake, and a few waterfowl that had been seen in Yuan's house skipped the water. attracted the prince of Yuwang, who was fishing, to hurry away, for fear that they would startle the fish under the lake.

King Qi was lying on the bamboo raft, suddenly feeling that the world was far away and wide, and it was really comfortable and comfortable.

On the boat over there, there was the voice of the little maid who exclaimed: "What a big white eel!" That's seven or eight pounds! The king of the county is so lucky! ”88

The white eel meat is fine and thick and not fishy, but it is difficult to catch, and this kind of seven or eight catties is even more rare.

"In this way, such a big white eel can make two dishes." Over there, King Gong smiled heartily.

King Qi sighed, his elder brother didn't have so many words in the palace on weekdays.

"This white eel is very big, there should be more than two dishes, my fourth sister is very good at cooking, green onion burning, boiling, broiling...... At least three can be made. "The white eel is heavy and fierce, it was pulled up by Yue Xu and the county king, and he doesn't know if he is proud of catching the big white eel, or proud of his fourth sister.

"Yo, is it possible that the master is still in charge of the spoon today?" King Yu has a lively temperament, and immediately clapped his hands and said happily.

"Really? Do you want to cook by yourself? I heard that my wife is talented in taking care of the shop, but I didn't expect to be able to cook. "King Yuwang is the younger brother of the prince, and his son is favored in the prime of life, and he is a person who can enjoy it, and he can eat it deliciously.

"If it doesn't taste good, I won't eat it." King Qi didn't know where to get a thin grass, put it in his mouth, and said leisurely looking at the sky.

"My lord, Madame called you and all the distinguished guests to go to the water pavilion."

At dusk, the maid shouted, and a few people on the lake were still unsatisfied, but they also felt hungry in their stomachs, and returned according to their words.

"Light up!" The maid changed again, and lanterns were lit up on the water pavilion and along the shore of the lake, and more than a dozen bamboo rafts swished up the lake, stopping around the water pavilion, and there were thirty or forty big red lanterns on it slowly lit up.

"Wow!" The maids couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

"Yo!" Yue Xu also exclaimed: "Such a big battle, but it's beautiful, beautiful, so beautiful!" ”

The bright red light reflected on the surface of the lake, and the bright color became more and more numerous, not to mention the day.

"Lord Yue doesn't know, these lanterns today are specially prepared by my family for my wife." Xin'er picked up the silver charcoal on the side and said with a smile.

Yue Xu laughed and said, "In this way, then I wait to come today, and I don't know if it's a coincidence or not." ”

"Fifth Brother Yue, don't laugh anymore!" Diancui brushed a layer of oil under the pot with a brush, put the noodles in the pot and cut it, while instructing the little maid over there to quickly twist the handkerchief for the nobles to clean their hands.

"I'm going to help the fourth brother!" Yue Xu smiled and strode onto the stone steps under the water pavilion, Yuan Zhiheng was quickly scrubbing the crabs that were about to be caught.

The princes who were originally seated on the water pavilion were also a little unsettled at this time, looking at Mr. Yuan and Assistant Teacher Yue squatting over there and scrubbing the crabs hard, this scene made people want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

"I'm going to help Mr. too." The taste of fried fish fillets here is too fragrant, and ordinary people really can't stand it, so Prince Yu got up and said.

"Shizi, please sit down, you're welcome, eat some tea first," Dian Cui put the fish fillet into a large porcelain white cup, and was helped up by the maid beside him. Now she is four months pregnant, and this time she should be pregnant with a well-behaved baby, quiet and gentle without making a fuss, so Diancui basically did not suffer any crimes, and what she should do every day is still as usual.

The maid put on two tea boxes and a large box.

When the box is opened, there are six compartments inside, sesame seeds, salt bamboo shoots, walnut kernels, which are all salty and burnt, and ghee pickled snails, candied oranges, and milk lotus cakes are all milky and sweet.

"The courtiers don't know the taste of your guests, so they prepared tea and snacks and fruits for tea, the snacks are made by the maids when I brought them at noon, and the tea is sent from Hangzhou to the West Lake Longjing, which is the tender shoots before the rain, and please don't dislike the vulgar things." Diancui greeted with a smile.

"Master, don't be polite, I'll be a harasser today." King Gong is the biggest in this, so naturally he will speak.

The rest were polite and greetings, King Qi looked at the gentleness and kindness of Diancui's face, and only felt a little embarrassed, that day in the palace she in order to save herself and save her child, she fell into the water with a clever tongue, deceived everyone and looked like he was still in a hurry. Why is it so room-friendly today?

Everyone ate a few sips of tea, twisted a few fruits, and chewed gently, and the cool breeze passed, but it was also pleasant.

"This situation and this scene actually make people want to recite a few poems." King Gong is in a very open and happy mood today, and there are many words.

"Bard? All right. Yuan Zhiheng came over with a clean net of crabs, and happened to hear someone say that he wanted to recite poetry.

"Who wants to chant poetry, there is pen and ink in this water pavilion." Yuan Zhiheng said with a smile, these people are not so unteachable.

King Gong hurriedly shut up, and recited poems to pay the most attention to this situation and this scene, as soon as Mr. came, those scenes and scenes all changed their taste. The original poetry was also so frightened that he forgot about it.

Seeing King Gong's embarrassing appearance, King Qi was overjoyed, and his face was lowered after holding it for a long time.

"Washed?" Diancui greeted him, which was regarded as relieving King Gong.

"Washed up." Yuan Zhi said in a constant temperature voice: "It's a little heavy, don't carry it." ”

Yuan Zhiheng propped up his pockets with both hands, and Diancui sandwiched those big crabs with teeth and claws into the steamer one after another with tongs.

The husband and wife stood side by side, under the lantern, the stars and the moon were visible, and their shadows were reflected on the surface of the lake, stretching for a long time.

Yuan Zhiheng's side face is very gentle, with a bit of homely timidity and leisure. Diancui pinched out a tooth and claw and waved it in front of him, as if to scare him, causing him to chuckle and laugh nonsense.

At this time, King Gong only felt a little blushing when they saw it, and avoided their eyes. King Qi touched his nose, and also blushed and looked up at the moon that was rising far away.
