Zhao Qiluo glared at his friend with some dissatisfaction.

said that he would come to help him, and now he only cares about pleasing Xie Mingxi.

What a forgetful friend!

However, no matter how hard he stared, his gaze could not be turned into substance. Sheng Hong leisurely went to the bow of the boat and sat down, skillfully put on the bait, and began to fish. Xie Mingxi sat beside Sheng Hong.

The two didn't get too close, and they were three feet apart, to say the least. They didn't speak, only occasionally smiled at each other. But the thick sweetness that could not be dissolved floated from the bow to the stern of the boat.

Gu Shanchang turned a blind eye, thought about it for a while, and then put pen to paper.

Zhao Qi didn't dare to be distracted anymore, and immediately concentrated and thought about it.

However, he was born with a baby face, even if his expression was dignified at this time, he didn't feel serious when he looked at it, but he was a little cute.

Yan Zhenzhen glanced at the bow of the boat with some envy, and then glanced at the cute young man with a baby face, and somehow, a trace of sadness welled up in her heart.

If she responds to the Zhao family's affairs, she will marry Zhao Qi in the future...... Others shouldn't think that she married a husband younger than herself!

Zhao Qi didn't know Yan Zhenzhen's complex and subtle thoughts, and wrote a song about Mingyue Lake.

Gu Shanchang took a closer look and nodded secretly in his heart.

Zhao Qi's poetry is indeed outstanding, and he writes vigorously and powerfully, and he has a lot of skills. It formed a strong contrast with the tender appearance of the face.

Gu Shanchang praised in his heart, his face was silent, and he greeted Yan Zhenzhen and looked at it too.

Yan Zhenzhen is used to seeing people who are talented and outstanding. Especially after being a classmate with Xie Mingxi for five years, he was often abused by Xie Mingxi to the point of incompleteness, and he did not react particularly when he saw Zhao Qi's poems. Just give a few polite compliments.

Zhao Qi, who is full of confidence: "......"

……

The boatman rocked the boat slowly to the middle of the lake.

Sheng Hong said that he was good at fishing, not to brag, but in less than half an hour, he had already caught two carp about an inch long.

The fish is not big, so it can only be used to make some fish soup.

Xie Mingxi looked quite interesting, and also asked for a fishing rod and bait from the boatman, and did the same, in a decent way.

Sheng Hong took the opportunity to come over and give some advice, and did not forget to comfort and encourage Xie Mingxi a few words: "To learn fishing for beginners, you must have patience and perseverance." Even if you can't catch a fish in half a day, you don't have to worry, and you don't have to be discouraged. This fishing may seem simple, but it's actually quite exquisite......"

Xie Mingxi suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, and his wrist pulled the fishing rod violently, and the crystal fishing line drew a graceful arc in the air. A large herring more than a foot long fell on the board of the boat with a clatter.

Sheng Hong: "......"

Haven't you ever fished before?

Why did you catch a big fish for the first time you fished?

Let him put his face, who claims to be good at fishing, where to put it!

"Wow! This herring is really not small! Yan Zhenzhen saw that it was so lively, where could she still be reserved, and immediately put down her pen and walked over quickly, and marveled: "Sister Xie, you are so good, you caught such a big fish as soon as you made a move." ”

Zhao Qi is also naturally lively and loves to join in the fun, and he tried very hard to pretend to be calm and serious. Now I couldn't hold it anymore, and came over with a cheerful face:

"Miss Xie is really a beginner in fishing! I look so much more powerful than His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince! His Royal Highness was busy for a long time, and he only caught two small fish, which was not enough to even make soup. The fish that Miss Xie caught was quite fat, enough for a full meal. ”

Sheng Hong, who was stabbed in the chest again: "......"

Looking at Sheng Hong, who was congested, Xie Mingxi chuckled.

She really didn't mean to embarrass Sheng Hong.

Born smart, you can learn it, and you can't keep a low profile if you want to! I can't help it!

……

Yan Zhenzhen was greedy when she heard this, and immediately smiled: "For such a big fish, boiling the fish head and bones into soup, making fish balls from the fish meat, and putting some fresh and tender vegetable leaves, it must be sweet and delicious." ”

Zhao Qi nodded again and again in agreement: "What Miss Yan said is true." You can also cut the fish into thin slices and soak it in a piping hot fish broth before eating. The fish is tender and does not need to be dipped in any ingredients. ”

As soon as you hear it, you are a person who loves to eat and can eat.

Yan Zhenzhen's eyes flashed, and she smiled at Zhao Qi: "You are good at tasting food." ”

Zhao Qi was numb by those big watery eyes, and said with a smile: "I not only taste, but also occasionally cook and make a few dishes." ”

Gu Shanchang also walked over, and said with a smile when he heard this: "It is said that the gentleman is far away from cooking." Zhao Gongzi is an exception. ”

It is not uncommon for children of the family to like horseback riding, archery, reading, and playing the piano, and it is really rare to like cooking.

Zhao Qi admitted a little shyly: "I am the youngest son in the family, and my father and mother have always favored me. I was afraid that my brothers would be jealous, so since I was a child, I would cook some food and send it to my brothers and sisters-in-law, which was also my brother's heart. ”

Then, he glanced at Yan Zhenzhen with some concern.

Wouldn't she think she likes to cook and is particularly unmanly!

Unexpectedly, Yan Zhenzhen's eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, and there was finally a smile in his eyes: "What dishes will you make?" ”

Zhao Qi was overjoyed, straightened his chest and replied: "There are several famous chefs hired in Zhao's mansion, and I often ask them for advice, and I know how to cook home-cooked dishes." ”

After thinking about it, he implicitly boasted: "If I don't have a career, I can support myself with only my cooking skills." ”

Yan Zhenzhen's face was full of exclamation: "In this way, your cooking skills are not weaker than any famous chef." ”

Zhao Qi smiled modestly: "Where, where." ”

Xie Mingxi and Sheng Hong looked at each other and smiled.

I really didn't expect that what touched Yan Zhenzhen's heart was not the talent of her family, but the cooking skills she practiced when she was young.

……

An hour later, the ship docked.

Zhao Qi and Sheng Hong sent Gu Shanchang and the others back to Lotus Pond Academy.

Xie Mingxi has gained a lot from this trip. In addition to a few small fish caught by Sheng Hong, Xie Mingxi caught another three-foot-long black fish.

In terms of quantity, Sheng Hong is worthy of the name of a fishing veteran. However, those inch-long small fish, compared with the two big fish caught by Xie Mingxi, are a little cold no matter how you look at them.

Come with excitement and return satisfied.

It was Gu Shanchang, who was also in a very happy mood today, and said with a casual smile: "There are so many fish, so as you said before, boil a pot of fish soup tonight, make half of the fish into fish balls, and cut the other half into fish fillets, and eat them." ”

"Yan Zhenzhen, you send the maid to send a message back home, stay for dinner tonight and go back."

Yan Zhenzhen immediately responded with a smile.

Sheng Hong said cheekily: "I will also stay, and I will have dinner with the mountain chief before returning to the palace." ”

Anyway, it's the disciple's fiancé, and it's not the first time that he has come to eat with a cheeky face. Gu Shanchang nodded with a smile.

Zhao Qi stood behind Sheng Hong, quietly reached out to Sheng Hong, and signaled Sheng Hong that he wanted to stay.

Sheng Hong was about to open his mouth, but Gu Shanchang had already looked at it and said gently: "It's getting late, so I won't stay with Zhao Gongzi anymore." ”

Zhao Qi: "......"

Sheng Hong: "......"
