The warm summer breeze is blowing slowly, and the greenery is reflected in the blue waves.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were not ready to go back in Xincai County for a while. They wanted to organize the preliminary work in the county so that it would be convenient for others to take over.
As for whether they were absent from work or not, the two were not at all worried. They took three days of personal leave, and two days of monthly leave for this month. After five days, they took another ten days of sick leave, so they could stay outside for a total of half a month.
Of course, if the two people didn't say anything, they wanted to show up more. It's best for Feng Changgong to find out that writing an impeachment memorial would make him sick and sick even if he couldn't do anything wrong with him.
On the third day after arriving in Xincai County, the two of them ran to the Rushui River, looked for a spot on the bank, and sat there watching an old man fishing there.
The water is rushing and there is no fishing float. The old man brought three rods and several lead mounds with many hooks on them. Hook up live bait one by one, and then threw it into the water with a swish, straightening the line. , Even one pole is completed on the stone.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't talk, so they just looked at it, and it was difficult for others to know what they were thinking.
The old man wore a hat on his head, probably because he was afraid that he would get lost in the sun. When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came over, he glanced at the two of them. They saw that the clothes they were wearing were not made of moss or silk, and they couldn’t guess that they belonged to them. "Family" situation, but looking at the manners of the two people, I think it should be something different from ordinary people, so I didn't take the initiative to talk to each other.
There are boats passing by from time to time on the river. Fortunately, the ground hook under the old man is not far from the shore, and it has not been hung by the boat. This should have been considered for a long time.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan stayed for half an hour during this stay. From time to time, Zhang Xiaobao would stand up and look around with the monoculars from the pocket that Wang Juan was slung on his body. Wang Juan was in his hand. A relatively hard grass stick, occasionally draws on the ground.
The old man was lucky today. In half an hour he caught more than a dozen fish, and three of them were worth two catties. The three of them always stayed silently, so that the old man couldn’t help but wait for a while. Take a look at the two older children.
Suddenly I felt something was wrong. I caught a fish by myself. Some kids watched it before, and they would yell with joy. When I left, I would give the kids a few more fish. Everyone didn't come in vain.
These two are weird today, so why are they not like others? I caught the fish, but I just glanced at it, and then I continued to sit. The two babies may have been hot just now, and they pulled up a lot of grass beside them, weaved them into a big hat and put them on their heads. Look, I really can't find two people here.
The fishing rod trembled violently twice, and the old man hurriedly took up the line. This time he actually caught a fish weighing three catties. The old man happily said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, "Who, do you want to eat fish? Bring a big fish when you leave. Go home."
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were already busy with their own affairs. When they heard the old man talking, they turned their heads and looked over. They saw that it was a catfish. Wang Juan glanced at Zhang Xiaobao and said to the old man: "Grandpa, this is the one in your hand. I bought it with Xiaobao, and we went back to braise it and ate it."
The old man didn’t want to give this big one. The rod I brought today was more difficult to fish for catfish. I said it was a big one. In fact, this one in my hand is much smaller than the real big one in the river. , I wanted to raise it all night and sell it tomorrow.
Seeing that two people are now talking about buying, he hesitated for a while, "The money is no longer needed. Take it to eat. It's strange looking at you two, hehe, staying with my old man for so long is not easy."
"Thank you grandpa, then." Wang Juan did not refuse. It was just a fish. When the factory and workshop were repaired, he had to find a night watchman. By then, many okay old men would basically have that kind of leisure. Work, arrange a good job for this old man.
Listening to Wang Juan's voice, the old man nodded happily: "Then I will put it in the net first, and then take it when I leave, and see if you two are good babies."
"Grandpa is also a good person, and a good person is rewarded. Grandpa, are there many catfish in the water?" Wang Juan also replied.
"Many, there are big ones too. I have to throw the rod when I really meet big ones, but I don't dare to pull up. If you drag people in, you won't see the shadows, and there are stick fish." The old man was willing to listen to Wang Juan's words With a crisp voice, he said with a smile.
Wang Juan thought for a moment, "There are so many idlers in Grandpa's house? It's better to dig a pond and specialize in cobfish. The fish is delicious and will make a lot of money."
"There are a lot of rivers, so I have nothing to do. I just have nothing to do, catch a few fish, and use the money to buy sweets for my grandson. I will take it back and stew as much as I can." The wrinkles on the face are piled together, looking very kind.
Wang Juan heard that the old man’s life was not bad at his home, so he stopped persuading the old man to raise fish. There were a lot of fish in the river, but he didn’t feel comfortable to raise.
In this case, the old man may not be able to come to watch the night, Wang Juan again proposed, "Grandpa, it is better to build a house near here, maybe it will be of great use in the future."
"That won't work. I heard people say that a workshop is going to be built here. Don't take up people's space." The old man knows a lot. He didn't know that Wang Juan just wanted him to make an order after he built the house and give it to the people in the workshop. People can make more money if they eat.
Seeing that the old man disagreed, Wang Juan refused to persuade him to continue, lowered his head and continued to paint his own.
Perhaps it really complied with Wang Juan’s words. The old man’s three fishing rods were fish on the ground one after another. After a while, the net that he brought into the water to fill the fish was full. That net of fish, to say nothing, was fifty catties. Squeeze each other back and forth.
Just when the old hair was worried about how to go back and gave Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan a big fish, a group of people came on the shore.
There were carts and horses, and after they stopped to the shore, people in yaman clothes came to the front, crowded with three men in official uniforms.
"My lord, what do you think of this place? Let His Royal Highness leave the workshop here." A knife and penman asked beside the officials surrounded by it, bowing.
"Well, yes, it's just what I want, huh? A lot of fish, it's better to eat fish at noon today, don't go far, find two pots in the nearby people's house, and stew the live fish with lively water."
The surrounded officials glanced at this place, thinking that a workshop could be built, and seeing the old man struggling to trawl up the net, he wanted to eat fish.
Hearing what the officials said, the old man looked at it again and quickly bowed his head to see the courtesy. "The magistrate Feng is here, magistrate Feng, you can’t build workshops here, and holes are drilled out by sticks. If the rain becomes heavy today, it’s easy to collapse. A big piece, the workshop needs to choose a good place."
"What do you know about cement? Don't you know about cement? No matter what the hole is, just pour the cement in. Leave the fish, take the money, and buy some meat dumplings."
A servant next to him was dissatisfied with the old man's many things, so he took out more than twenty cents and threw it on the ground to buy all the fish and reach out to catch the fish.
The old man was obviously unwilling. He didn't dare to say anything, but he clenched his hands very tightly. This is not just a problem with fish, but also a net. It takes more than a day to make a net. The twine is so easy to rub.
When the stalemate was in progress, a voice suddenly sounded, frightening County Magistrate Feng Haoxuan into the river.
"Grandpa, he wants to buy a fish and just sell it to him. I didn't expect Feng County Order to be so elegant and run to the river to eat live fish in live water. This is the southwest, so Feng County Order is not worried about sudden accidents. Lost your life? What is the crime of forced buying to Xiaobao?"
Following the voice, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan stood up with big straw "hats", and the magistrate Feng Xianjiao stepped back and stood still. Only then did he take a closer look at the people who suddenly appeared, and at first glance, the good mood just disappeared.
Zhang Xiaobao also said: "It's probably a capital offense, right? At least it has to be distributed to Lingnan. Well, when I go to Luzhou, I have a kind heart."
"Hurry up." Feng Changgong was not in the mood to listen to Zhang Xiaobao's humor, and shouted to the bureaucrat who was still clutching the fishing net tightly. If two people were to impeach them, it wouldn't be a big deal, aggrieved.
It's not that the Ya Ya didn't recognize Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. It was because he knew who they were that he was frightened. He forgot to hold the net in his hand and heard the voice of the county magistrate. It seems that what I caught just now was not a net, but a red wire.
While stepping backwards, while staring at Wang Juan, watching Wang Juan smile and not smile, he would rather believe that there is something than nothing.
The old man was surprised, oh, the baby is so powerful, and the magistrate Feng was scared like this by one person, who's from
"It turned out to be Zhang Zhu and Wang Xiancheng. The two Yaxings are not bad. They ran to the river to hide and play scary. Then they didn't force the purchase, but asked them to help the old man fish."
Feng Changgong still felt that his heart was beating fiercely, so he said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in an uneasy manner.
Regardless of whether he was angry or not, Wang Juan ran two steps to the place where the yaman threw the money just now, bent down and picked them up one by one, and waved at Zhang Xiaobao: "Little treasure, money, I don’t know who dropped it. Buy some meat later. Make dumplings to eat."
"Then you have to ask who accidentally dropped it. What if the owner is there, who dropped it? Who dropped the money? No one agrees. Take it."
Zhang Xiaobao looked good at the terrain today, he was very happy, and he was crazy with Wang Juan.
The old man finally knew who the two eldest children were. Baoxin County’s new master book and Xian Cheng, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, no wonder they looked different from ordinary children, and they didn’t care about the fish. He quickly said to the two people: "Little treasure, cuckoo, you can't repair the workshop here. I heard that you are good with the princess, tell him, you can't repair it."
"Is the old man familiar with this place?" Wang Juan smiled at the Ya Ya who threw the money just now, collected the money and asked the old man.
"Familiar, it's unusual here. Someone said, my old man, I don't have any other skills, look at the earth and my eyes are not good." The old man finally met someone he felt could contend with the county magistrate Feng, and immediately patted his chest. ensure.
"Ground Qi?" Wang Juan didn't expect to meet an expert, and he would have the legendary ability, mysterious and mysterious thing, but many people still believe this. It is said that some mines are not measured by any instrument, but invited people. It can be seen that even the officials at the time believed this.
He moved in his heart and said, "Grandpa, why don't you do me a favor, or hire you, and help me see more. Grandpa, don't worry, where is the workshop? Feng County orders him to say nothing, Feng County Ling, what do you say?"
