091 Fishing
The spring breeze is like a woman's hand, slowly blowing through the imperial capital in March. Under the emperor's instruction, the fraud was jointly investigated by the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites, Chu Ye, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, should have discussed this matter with the remaining two Shangshu adults in the palace at this time, but she really couldn't stand Sima Jin's trials, and got into the carriage to the outskirts of the city with him.
If there is still a trace of the chill left over from the cold winter in the imperial capital, then the suburbs of the city have completely fallen into the warmth of spring. The wicker has already drawn new shoots, flying and swaying left and right with the spring breeze. Qingqing Xiaocao was already tired of her old yellow clothes, and couldn't wait to put on the new green clothes. The sun is warm, the spring is just right, Rao is Chu Ye, who was originally a little reluctant, saw this early spring scene, and couldn't help but smile, his eyes were shining, so unhappy.
Sima Jin looked at Chu Ye's appearance, and knew that she had come to the right place for her to come on a spring outing!
Although the bamboo is a temporary driver of the horse, it is also a kind ......of wood to drive the horse. The carriage carrying Sima Jin and Chu Ye stopped steadily beside a small lake on the outskirts of the city. In early spring, there are still a few places on the lake where the thick ice has not completely melted, but the thick ice layer cannot stop the nobles of the imperial capital from going out to the footsteps.
Sima Jin thought that he had come early enough, but he didn't expect that there would be someone who came earlier than them.
Chu Ye looked at Sima Jin funny, she still remembered clearly, the carriage came all the way, and Sima Jin said all the way:
"Little Yezi, we will definitely be the first to arrive!"
"Don't worry, we'll be fishing by the lake when the time comes, and the fish we catch will be cooked and eaten on the spot......"
"Little leaf, my grilled fish is delicious......"
But now......
Sima Jin looked at those noble ladies of the family whose faces were lightly veiled and crowded, and his inner thoughts were by no means clear to be explained by the word grief.
Looking at Sima Jin's dejected appearance, Chu Ye laughed out loud.
Sima Jin tried his best to leave Xiaoshan in the palace, in the name of "accompanying the queen more", but in fact, he wanted to go out alone with her. I tried my best to get this result. If she were Sima Jin, she would definitely be very depressed.
Chu Ye nodded.
Sima Jin helped her a lot, and deliberately so that she could escape from the cumbersome official documents, so she said that she wanted to go out. If she stood aside and laughed at it without righteousness, it would be too unkind.
With such an idea, Chu Ye stepped forward, following Sima Jin's previous appearance, the two brothers took his shoulders and said open-mindedly: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with this. This place is so big, it would be too lonely for just the two of us. Now that there are more people, it's good to have more fireworks around. ”
Sima Jin blinked, looking at Chu Ye with some grievances and some self-reproach.
"Don't you think you're too much?"
Chu Ye was slightly stunned, it turned out that Sima Jin had been worried about this!
Since the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the fraud in the imperial examination, rumors suddenly spread in the imperial capital that she and Sima Jin had hooked up and became adulterous, which was contrary to human ethics. Chu Ye only took it as a joke, her left ear went in and out of her right ear, but if she didn't feel disgusting, it was also false.
It's not because of Sima Jin, but because the thoughts of the people behind the scenes are really sinister, which makes her feel very uncomfortable. The mood has been a little low in recent days, and it is indeed because of this incident. didn't expect Sima Jin to take this matter so seriously.
Chu Ye was really moved for a while.
Sima Jin's eyes were scorching, and the sincerity in his eyes did not look like a fake.
She sighed, looking at Sima Jin's eyes with disgust, she hated a little iron, and learned the nickname Sima Jin gave her and said, "Xiao Jinzi." If you don't mention this matter, I might forget about it, but you just mention it, and I think of sad things again......" Chu Ye paused, looked at Sima Jin's suddenly tense face, and couldn't help smiling in his heart, only to hear her continue: "You have to bake me a few fatty fish in a while, if it's not delicious, you won't want to enter my Shangshu Mansion again!" ”
After speaking, Chu Ye also patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, and then walked towards the lake.
Sima Jin didn't seem to expect Chu Ye to say this, he looked at Chu Ye's back farther and farther away in a daze, and his eyes, which were originally full of haze, gradually brightened again. The bamboo tied the horse and parked the car. He took the rod out of the carriage and walked in the direction of his two masters. found that there was something wrong with his former master.
When the bamboo passed by Sima Jin, he even wanted to grow two more legs and flew over. When he panted and handed the fishing rod to Chu Ye's hand, Chu Ye was still a little shocked.
Bamboo: Is this a car parked on the opposite hill? Why are you still running?
However, Chu Ye didn't ask at all.
The moment Sima Jin came over, Zhuzi's subconsciously stiff body was already the best reply!
Chu Ye held back his laughter, and he didn't know what stupid thing Sima Jin had done to make Zhu Zi scared like this.
However, Sima Jin didn't realize it, and while snatching the fishing rod from Chu Ye's hand, he also chased Chu Ye to keep her away from the water, and be careful of accidentally falling down.
Chu Ye nodded again and again. He took a few steps back on his feet and watched as Sima Jin skillfully threw the fishing rod out of the distance.
Sima Jin was heroic, and the ordinary fishing rod in his hand was obviously just an ordinary fishing rod that could be seen everywhere, but he was thrown out of the meaning of a sharp weapon and a long whip.
Chu Ye was so excited that she directly ordered the bamboo to spread the picnic cloth they brought not far behind Sima Jin, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many people around, she would even have to directly light a fire, looking like a well-behaved cat waiting to be fed.
Sima Jin felt Chu Ye's scorching gaze, and the action of hooking the bait on the fishing line was much faster, like a hound inviting merit. But in fact, it is only early spring, and there are not many live fish in the lake that have grown up. Those ladies of the family who came to the green were just here to step on the grass and spring, and no one would come with a long fishing rod with the intention of fishing. Sima Jin's behavior has obviously become a conspicuous outlier among the crowd who came to out. For a time, it also attracted the attention of many noble ladies of the family.
Laughing and pointing, as if Sima Jin had done something that was not tolerated.
"Miss Fang, look at the little boy by the lake, the weather hasn't fully warmed up, so he can't wait to fish."
A noble girl pulled Fang Linlang's cuffs a little timidly, and stretched out her finger to point at Sima Jin, her tone full of yearning.
Fang Linlang looked at her hand on her sleeve and frowned.
Today's youth meeting is the post of the Marquis of Dingyuan.
The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has a great cause, there are countless concubines in the house, and there are many concubines and concubines, many of whom have also reached the age of saying marriage. And today's outing is to let the concubines in the mansion see the daughters of other mansions more. But because it is a concubine, most of the people invited are the daughters of concubines in other high-ranking noble families. Fang Linlang prides himself on being a descendant of a family, so he naturally looks down on it.
The ladies have their own small circles, and the play between the concubines and the concubines, and the games between the concubines and the concubines, are clearly distinguished, and they can be seen at a glance. If it weren't for Fang Linlang looking around, his heart would be full of dissatisfaction. If it weren't for her mother's strict order, asking her to come and see some of the concubines in the house today, she wouldn't have gone out of the city with these inferior people.
"Miss Weisi, although we are out to go out, after all, we are all women from a family, and it seems that it is unseemly to always stare at foreign men."
The concubine who was originally holding Fang Linlang withdrew her hand in embarrassment, and the disgust in Fang Linlang's eyes was completely visible, why should she be bored with herself.
It has only been a few years since the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was completed, and if it wasn't for a concubine Fang sent to the palace, it wouldn't have become a climate now. If you really want to be more serious, their Wei family is a first-class national mansion, which has been established for a hundred years and has the same life as the Western Jin Dynasty. What if she is a concubine, if it weren't for the fact that the family gradually moved away from the government and did not hold real power, otherwise only she would have had her share!
The corners of Miss Wei's mouth were slightly raised, and she glanced at the figure who was throwing the fishing rod from afar, and her smile was full of sarcasm.
"Miss Wei Si," a noble lady cautiously approached. "What did you just tell Miss Fang?"
Miss Wei Si looked at her, laughed coquettishly, and whispered a few words in her ear.
Seeing that the noble goddess was becoming more and more eccentric, she looked at Miss Wei Si and asked in disbelief: "Really? ”
