Chapter 083: Sailing
Although they have only met for a long time, Sun Qing and Sun Yu knew Hou Ruifeng's general personality and hobbies from their conversation with Liu Ding. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
So it doesn't feel strange at all.
And although the respectful attitude of the two of them shocked the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids, they didn't dare to show a different look at all, because the situation in the palace has been very tense recently, for fear that they will be dealt with carelessly.
Sun Qing was not verbose, and left a few handwritten edicts for the eunuchs, and after they were promulgated, the three of them set off with many guards.
The route out of the palace is from the side gate of the palace, and directly take a boat to take the royal waterway and enter the Yangtze River.
This made Hou Ruifeng a little disappointed, he also wanted to see the situation in the city, but now there is not even a hairy figure, they are all the guards of Yishui, even if they see people enjoying the shade under the big trees on both sides of the river more than 10 meters wide, they are scared away from afar, and those who are not scared away are sleeping, except for the tattered linen clothes, they can't see the appearance of people, even if they are holding binoculars.
All the way to the deep water area of the Yangtze River, change boats.
On the fairly smooth water, a large boat drove out one after another.
On the bow of the largest of them, Hou Ruifeng stood on it and looked around, and said to Sun Yu beside him: "Your ship is really not bad, so stable." ”
Sun Qing was a little old and in poor health, so after getting on the boat, he apologized and went to rest, leaving Sun Yu to accompany Hou Ruifeng.
Sun Yu said with pride on his face when he heard this: "Returning to the immortals, these are the two most proud weapons in my country, smelting and shipbuilding. ”
Of course he is proud, because in recent years he has been taking care of the fleet, leading the navy to stop Cao Fu, except for the truce in the last two years because of the changes in the sky, although he is only 29 years old, but he has been leading the army for 10 years, which is enough to be called a qualified veteran, and successfully won the support of the sailors, becoming the biggest capital after ascending the throne.
Shipbuilding is understandable, but smelting Hou Ruifeng was a little strange and asked, "What are you good at refining?"
"Both iron and bronze are good, and our weapons are well-known in the three countries. Sun Yu said.
Yes, Hou Ruifeng nodded, wrote down the news, and came to them if he had any needs in this regard in the future.
At this time, the water quality on the river surface is much better than that of later generations, although it is not crystal clear, but it seems that people cannot think of the source of pollutants such as factories, which is enough to drink.
After Hou Ruifeng looked at the situation on the riverbank for a while, he was seduced by a big fish that jumped out of the water because of the boat.
"I want to catch a fish, are you coming?" This time, Hou Ruifeng brought two casting rods suitable for sea fishing, and asked Sun Yu.
"Well, it's been a long time since I've been fishing. Sun Yu immediately turned around and shouted, "Let someone bring a fishing rod." "This is a royal boat, and the things prepared on it are very complete, and Sun Qing and Sun Yu both have a hobby of occasional fishing, so fishing rods are indispensable. ”
"Don't, it's a little uncomfortable to fish here with a bamboo pole, so use mine. Hou Ruifeng immediately stopped the eunuch who was about to turn around, and took out a fishing rod and bait from the backpack on the side - fishing here is more convenient than modern bait, unlike in modern times, where earthworms are better used.
The eunuch suddenly didn't know what to do, the emperor and the crown prince's respectful attitude towards this strange immortal made their group of people around them very shocked, they had never seen Sun Qing like this, and now in the face of this strange monk's words, they were suddenly a little embarrassed.
Sun Yu nodded slightly, let the eunuch stay, looked at the throwing rod that Hou Ruifeng took out, and was instantly attracted.
After Hou Ruifeng became rich, he entered the fishing tackle shop and bought a lot of fishing rods that he could only envy before. The increase in price is not only shown in the feel and durability, but also in the shape of the upgrade.
This time, the two throwing rods he brought were both sea-blue, reflecting a glass-like luster in the skylight, and dazzling the eyes around him.
"It's beautiful. Sun Yu couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"yes, it's expensive. Hou Ruifeng also secretly praised, he hadn't used it since he bought it, so he opened meat in the Yangtze River first.
Telling Sun Yu how to use it, Hou Ruifeng experimented in the river and said, "That's how to use it, this one is very strong, don't be too careful." Sun Yu on the side seemed to be holding a gem, afraid of falling down and breaking this magic weapon of the immortals.
"Hmm. Sun Yu replied, first watching Hou Ruifeng fish a few times before using it carefully.
Because the water in the river is a bit big, and they are still trending boats, using ordinary bait is afraid that it will disperse when it is launched, so Hou Ruifeng uses the bait fishing method, which is just in the boat, and he doesn't need to pull the rod back and forth, just pay attention not to be hung on the boat.
Soon.
There was a big catfish of more than ten catties on the bait, and was directly pulled up by Hou Ruifeng.
"The rod is really strong. Watching the slender fishing rod pull the catfish from the water onto the board, Sun Yu praised. The eunuch on the side was very eye-catching, and directly stepped forward to take down the fish and put it in the wooden basin that he had just brought over.
Seeing that Hou Ruifeng was very talkative, Sun Yu couldn't help but endure and asked, "Shangxian, what is this fishing line made of, it's so beautiful." ”
"Carbon. Hou Ruifeng replied, anyway, Sun Yu didn't know how to write these two words, and it could also increase the sense of mystery.
"Talking about books?" Sun Yu was really confused, and didn't ask any more questions.
Time passed as the two talked and fished.
It's dusk.
Sun Qingcai walked out of the cabin and saw Hou Ruifeng and the prince happily talking about aquatic products and catches, as well as the situation on the beach, he was very comforted and happy.
If the current situation continues, and the war with Cao Wei can be delayed as much as possible, then the pressure on the crown prince after he ascends the throne will be much less, and if the south is cleaned up, then even if the immortals no longer pay attention to them in the future, the situation has changed, and they will not be afraid of Cao Wei.
Thinking like this, Sun Qing walked behind the two of them, looked at a few big fish in the wooden basin and the strange fishing rods used by the two, and said, "Shangxian, you are about to enter the small river." ”
"Ah, didn't you leave the Yangtze River?" asked Hou Ruifeng strangely.
"There's a bit of silt at the mouth of the sea, the beach is too dirty, we're going to go a little north, and it's a lot of time to go through from the front. Sun Qing explained.
"That's right, then do as you say. Is it the estuary in front?" Hou Ruifeng saw a group of people frolicking by the water in front of him, and there were also a few small boats paddling by the river.
"Yes, there will be a lot of people on the shore, all of whom depend on fishing for their livelihood. Sun Qing said in advance.
"Got it, I was trying to see what you're doing here. Hou Ruifeng put away the fishing rod, took out the binoculars from his backpack, and looked at it to see how this place compared to the other two.
