Chapter Ninety-Five: Ice Fishing

Just like the news brought by Gu Yueke, after Gu Yueke left that afternoon, His Royal Highness the Prince's invitation was sent to King Li's mansion.

When Emperor Sui gave Liang Qian the title at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, he also gave Liang Qian the mansion of the county lord in Kyoto. The county lord's mansion is very close to the Li Wangfu, just next door to the Li Wangfu.

That mansion has not been inhabited for a long time, and if Liang Qian needs to live in it, he should clean it up and recuperate.

Li Yu didn't want Liang Qian to leave the Li Wang's Mansion too quickly, and when he sent someone to tidy up, the time was very relaxed, and the speed of tidying up was very slow, and it was almost a month before it was sorted out.

So during this time, Liang Qian still lived in King Li's mansion, the courtyard where she originally lived.

For this reason, the invitation sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to the county lord's mansion for a while, and finally entered the Li Wang's mansion, and finally sent it to Liang Qian.

The agreed time is tomorrow morning.

Liang Qian is now a well-known figure in Kyoto, and in a way, she can even call a few princes a brother. It is reasonable for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to hand over an invitation to Liang Qian, and Liang Qian has no way to refuse such a reasonable invitation.

Since there is no way to refuse, I can only pack up and go to the banquet tomorrow morning.

Fortunately, Li Yu had an idea early in the morning, and was ready to find an opportunity to take Liang Qian to play in the ice playground, and Li Wangfu had prepared a lot of thick clothes that could facilitate going out.

On the morning of the banquet, Liang Qian got up and casually found a thick dress to put on, and then went directly to the banquet.

Li Yu still had to continue to go to the court today, and left early in the morning. Liang Qian could only sit in the carriage slowly and go to the ice fishing location set by His Royal Highness the Prince.

Ice fishing, in the most literal sense of the word, is fishing on ice.

Liang Qian's departure time was relatively early, and Gu Yueke hadn't arrived yet. She had never participated in such an event, and when she arrived at the event location, she stood aside with a confused face. Fortunately, because of her current identity, many young ladies of the family who were invited to the scene also stepped forward to talk to her, and Liang Qian's waiting time was not too difficult.

After a while, after Gu Yueke arrived at the scene, Liang Qian's nervous emotions completely disappeared.

Liang Qian and Gu Yueke stood by the river and chatted.

Looking at the thick ice surface of the river, Liang Qian said with some doubts: "This ice is so thick, how can you fish for a while?" ”

Li Yu pretended to smile mysteriously, raised his hand and pointed to a few people on the other side of the river who were digging the ice: "Ice fishing this winter is different from fishing on weekdays, you need to dig out one big hole after another in the ice in advance to facilitate fishing!" ”

Liang Qian turned his head to look in the direction of Li Yu's raised finger, and just saw several subordinates gathering in a corner of the river, struggling to open the thick ice on the river.

"With so many people, how many holes do they have to dig so that everyone can catch fish?" Liang Qian shook his head with some concern.

Hearing Liang Qian's innocent words in the past two years, Li Yu stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and laughed: "I'm so shallow!" This ice fishing is not what you think! Besides, do you think everyone is here to fish? Everyone gathered here just to find a chance to get together, take a good look at the ice fishing process, and eat the fish caught by the way! How is it possible for everyone to go fishing in person? ”

Echoing what Li Yu said, some of the ladies of the family standing next to the two of them also began to explain to Liang Qian the difference in this ice fishing.

This tradition of ice fishing has a long history, and it can be divided into two methods today.

The first method is to dig four ice holes in the ice before "hooking the fish", and dig through the middle one to let the river flow through this ice hole, so that it is easy to hook the fish from under this ice hole. The other three ice caves surround the area, and the ice is only thinned out, but not in the water, so that you can observe the movement of the fish. Although fish like to live in the water, when they swim to a place with ice eyes, they often put their heads out of the water and want to breathe more fresh air, so that they can catch fish.

The second method is similar, but slightly simpler.

In order to catch fish in large quantities, you must first prepare a fishing net, a wooden pole, and dig two ice holes in the ice, and the distance between the two ice holes should be determined according to the length of the prepared wooden poles. Secondly, the end of the pole should be firmly tied to the fishing net. Finally, slowly slide the pole into the ice hole, and then slowly progress to the next ice hole. Those waiting in the next ice cave hook the rope at the top of the pole and pull the pole out of the hole with force. As a result, a large number of fresh fish were caught in the fishing nets dragged out.

This time, the way of fishing ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the second method.

When the fishing officially began, Liang Qian saw such a fishing method for the first time, looking at the large number of live fish that came out of the fishing nets, Liang Qian opened his mouth in surprise: "Can it still be like this?" That's amazing! ”

Yi Yulang, who also received an invitation to participate in the event, didn't know when to walk to Liang Qian's side, Yi Yulang looked at Liang Qian who was shining in his eyes, and said softly beside him: "The wisdom of our predecessors is really powerful, and we have learned a lot from the wisdom of our predecessors!" ”

Not noticing who was standing next to him, Liang Qian nodded and agreed: "The people who lived in this land before us are indeed very wise and powerful people!" It is because of their previous research that we can have so many things to learn and continue to develop in the future! ”

After saying this, Liang Qian was still a little embarrassed, turned his head to look at the person standing next to him, and when he found that the person standing next to him was Yi Yulang, the smile on Liang Qian's face narrowed a little, and he just said hello to Yi Yulang lightly.

Liang Qian's change of attitude made Yi Yulang feel a little uncomfortable.

Yi Yulang looked at Liang Qian, who turned away and couldn't avoid him, and sighed.

Whether it is in the previous life or in this life, he is one of the people who hurt Liang Qian. Even if it was really uncomfortable, Yi Yulang also understood that he was not qualified to complain about Liang Qian's indifference to him.

By the time Yi Yingying, who had been looking for Liang Qian on the other side of the river, found Yi Yulang's side, Liang Qian had already walked so far that he couldn't even see his back.
