Chapter 175: Fishing
"Hey! You guys are here too."
When Xu Zhilan saw them, she raised her eyebrows and smiled sweetly, and took the initiative to come forward to say hello to them.
Chu Xinyu and Yang Qianjun frowned at her words, "You are here, as if they are coming to Zhuangzi, and she doesn't know they are coming."
Yang Qianjun also imitated Xu Zhilan, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Yes, you are here too, it's very surprising."
After hearing what she said, Lin Yu, who was standing beside him, coughed awkwardly and said to Chu Xinyu and others: "There are more lively people, and Funing is here too. Don't you mind, right?"
It turned out that Funing was also here. Chu Xinyu couldn't help but remember the date Yang Lianxin sent someone to negotiate with her to the Hou Mansion to draw a portrait. She didn't change her words, but now she appears here. If she really agrees, wouldn't she be released?
She then said, "How could it be? It's better to have more lively people."
Princess Zhaoyang smiled and held Chu Xinyu's hand and said intimately: "Don't say this for now, I'll take you down to rest, and then go fishing."
Chu Xinyu nodded, greeted them, and went down with Princess Zhaoyang with Yang Qianjun and Sun Ruoya.
After seeing Chu Xinyu and the others leaving, the girl standing next to Xu Zhilan asked Xu Zhilan in a low voice: "Why did she come? Why did she have the face to come here to play?"
"She was invited by Princess Mingxi, don't talk nonsense."
"Didn't the eldest princess invite us to play? She was disappointed when she came."
Her voice was a little high. Because she was focused on talking to Xu Zhilan, she didn't notice Lin Yu coming over. When she heard her words, she immediately lowered her face and said, "Xu Jingen, it was Yang Qianjun and Chu Xinyu who came to the village to play. If they hadn't nodded, there wouldn't be any of this event."
It means that you have the chance to come to Zhuangzi after taking advantage of Chu Xinyu and the others, and you are so embarrassed to exclude them here.
It was said that Chu Xinyu and the others were disappointed. If it weren't for the sake of her grandmother being good sisters, she wouldn't let her in.
"I'm sorry, I don't know." Seeing that Lin Yu was unhappy, Xu Jingen hurriedly apologized. She really didn't know that it was agreed by Mingxi and Chu Xinyu.
"If you don't know, don't talk nonsense."
Xu Zhilan glanced at Lin Yu and didn't say anything, but she was unhappy. Lin Yu and Chu Xinyu and the others were so good. They also made an appointment to come to Zhuangzi in private. If the eldest princess hadn't given her an invitation, she wouldn't know that they had made an appointment to come to Zhuangzi. Now that others say Chu Xinyu is not, she is unhappy. At that time, she has protected herself like this.
She couldn't help but clench her fists with both hands, and when she lowered her eyes, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
...
Besides, Lin Yu arranged for Chu Xinyu and others to live in Juyuan, with Princess Zhaoyang, Chu Xinyu and Yang Qianjun lived in the west wing, An Qilan and Sun Ruoya lived in the east wing, and the main room was naturally the Princess Zhaoyang lived in the main room.
On the way, Princess Zhaoyang explained why Fu Yinghua and others would come. It turned out that the eldest princess gave them Yu'er's post and allowed them to bring friends.
At that time, she and An Qilan were also shocked when they saw Fu Yinghua in the village. Ming Xi did not tell her that in addition to them, they also invited others. You should know that before the rumors came out, Fu Yinghua had a relationship with Lin Chenyao, everyone was just secretly guessing, but after the rumors came out, Chu Xinyu and Fu Yinghua became an unscrupulous rival.
Although Lin Chenyao was protecting Chu Xinyu at that time, the people in the aristocratic circle in Jinjing knew it well. In this way, in addition to the unscrupulous banquets between Chu Xinyu and Fu Yinghua, the two should avoid meeting in private parties, which would prevent them from being embarrassed.
But the eldest princess knew that the village was from Lin Chenyao, and Princess Mingxi invited Chu Xinyu. What is Fu Yingfu's post privately? Is it to let everyone know that she likes Fu Yingfu as her daughter-in-law?
After hearing this, Yang Qianjun complained: "I thought it was us who played it, but why did Fu Yinghua and Funing come? It's really not fun at all. If I knew it was them, I wouldn't have come at that time."
Princess Zhaoyang also knew that they were unhappy, but there was something that needed to be told to them, so she said, "It's not just them, Lin Huan is here too, she also invited a few girls."
"What?" Yang Qianjun became even more unhappy when she heard this. It wasn't them being stingy. This was originally an outing plan that they discussed together. Now that they have added a few unpleasant people, how can they have fun?
Sun Ruoya was not happy either, but she didn't say anything.
Princess Zhaoyang said, "Since we are here, we can't help but save Lin Yu's excitement. She has been busy for this outing for a few days."
Chu Xinyu said, "That's all. Even if you are unhappy, don't put your emotions on your face."
Things are all like this. Do you have to pack up your bags and leave? Lin Yu and Lin Huan are both masters. Who do they want to invite to be happy with them? As the saying goes, since they come, they will be at ease.
In fact, they were nothing, they were just worried that those people would cause trouble for Chu Xinyu. Since she thought so, they would treat these people with a normal mind.
...
Tianyin Lake is located at the foot of Lingfeng Mountain. The lake water is green and there is an open space by the lake. Lin Yu asked his servants to set up two tables here, with some snacks and pastries on them for them to fill their stomachs when they are tired of playing.
Lin Yu asked them to work together. Those who like fishing would go to the side to get a fishing rod and go to the lake to fish. Those who don’t like fishing would go to find wild vegetables nearby, or go to the orchard and vegetable fields to pick fruits and vegetables. She also found a chef to build a stove and a grill, and there were cutting boards and knives next to it, which were used to slaughter fish. It seemed that the preparation was very complete.
When Chu Xinyu and his group came, it was already very lively.
Funing and others were already fishing by the lake, and there were still three or two people carrying small baskets and holding small hoes to find wild vegetables nearby.
"Xinyu, do you want to fish or find wild vegetables?" Yang Qianjun asked Chu Xinyu.
“Fish.”
Princess Zhaoyang saw a small boat docked by the lake and suggested: "It's better for us to row and fish in the lake."
Yang Qianjun clapped her hands in favor.
Chu Xinyu said, "No, it's not safe, so we'd better fish in the lake."
"Do you know how to fish?" Sun Ruoya asked Chu Xinyu.
"Yes, you won't?"
"Tell me."
"good."
Chu Xinyu went to the side to get two fishing rods and gave one Sun Ruoya, Yang Qianjun and Princess Zhaoyang also chose one, and Chu Xinyu looked for the best fishing position along the lake to sit down.
Chu Xinyu taught Sun Ruoya how to put the bait and asked her to put the fishing rod down in the lake as she watched her movements.
Fishing requires methods. How to catch big fish. It not only depends on the weather, the lake shape, the water quality, the wind direction, the bubbles, but also on the terrain and the harmony. However, she told Sun Ruoya that she would not understand these. Therefore, Chu Xinyu only taught her some simple and easy-to-understand methods.
The bait that Lin Yu prepared for them was earthworms, but Sun Ruoya did not hang it when she put the bait. Blisters appeared under her fishing. She thought that a fish was hooked. She was very happy and excited. She didn't know if she had caught it, so she shouted, "It's hooked, the fish is hooked..."
"Really?"
Zhaoyang gave her a thumbs up, praised her for being powerful, and told her to pull the fishing rod up quickly. As a result, when Sun Ruoya lifted the fishing rod, the hook was empty.
"Why is this the case?" Sun Ruoya was very disappointed.
Chu Xinyu said, "You screamed before the fish was hooked, and you must have scared it away."
Sun Ruoya was unwilling to give in and said, "But isn't my bait gone?"
"It's not necessarily the fish that you eat. Maybe you can't put it well and fall into the water."
As soon as Chu Xinyu finished speaking, Zhaoyang shouted: "The fish here are also hooked. It's so heavy. Who will help me?"
Sun Ruoya's fishing rod had not yet been put into the water, so of course she was going to help. As a result, they worked together to lift the fishing rod. The hook was not a fish, but an embroidered shoe.
It just so happened that Lin Yu and An Qilan came over and saw Zhaoyang catch a shoe, and they all bent over. The maids who were helping each other covered their mouths and laughed.
Yang Qianjun joked: "You caught a big fish, but you caught an embroidered shoe. Zhaoyang, you are amazing!"
Zhaoyang's face was flushed, and she said, "If you have the ability, just catch a golden beetle."
At this time, Chu Xinyu shrewd at them and whispered: "You guys are quiet, my fish is hooked."
Yang Qianjun and Zhaoyang immediately remained silent.
Lan Yi stood beside Chu Xinyu and saw her lifting the fishing rod. She saw a grass carp as thick as a bowl hanging on the hook. She stepped forward to help, took the fish off and put it in the bucket.
The girls are so envious!
Especially Zhaoyang and Sun Ruoya, they were unwilling to give up and continued to bait and fish.
Next, Yang Qianjun also caught a carp.
When Chu Xinyu and Yang Qianjun caught five or six jumping fish in the barrels, Zhaoyang caught a cup-sized croaker. Being able to catch it means she has made progress.
Sun Ruoya was not patient and fished for a while. When she saw that she hadn't caught it, she simply stopped fishing and went to find wild vegetables with Lin Yu and An Qilan.
When Chu Xinyu caught another white thorn fish of about seven kilograms, everyone around him was envious. They all said that the skills were good, and that the fish-burning banquet was settled tonight.
"Tsk! It's just luck. If you really have skills, it's not as good as our cousin." Behind him, a girl came over and sneered.
When Chu Xinyu and the others heard this, they turned their heads and saw that it was the girl who was following Fu Yinghua before. If she called Fu Yinghua the cousin, she would be the other party’s cousin Qin Wanrou. Chu Xinyu had seen her in the Duke E’s mansion.
"Is that true?" Yang Qianjun glanced at her and asked, "How many fish did she catch?"
Qin Wanrou raised her chin and said proudly: "More than you."
"That's great, you're lucky." Yang Qianjun was too lazy to tell her and asked Bi Qian to take the fish in the bucket to clean the cook who was specially called.
"Do you want to bet? We catch more fish than you." Qin Wanrou stepped forward and said.
"If you don't bet, you love gambling so much, why don't you go to great wealth?" Yang Qianjun refused, and her tone was very impatient, because this girl was full of trouble, and she hated others to ask for gambling the most.
Qin Wanrou snorted, turned around and ran away.
Zhaoyang whispered to Yang Qianjun: "Why did this girl Qin come here for? Why did she say she had a bet with us for no reason?"
"She came here to inquire about the situation and see how many fish we caught." Yang Qianjun said disdainfully, "Those people like to do such boring things."
At this time, Lan Yi shouted, "Wow, the girl caught another big fish."
It was a big carp with a bulging belly. She opened her mouth and was held by Lan Yi. She struggled suddenly, with great force, which almost made her unable to hold it and she was about to fall to the ground.
"We'll have a good time later."
They were all very excited. After catching so many fish, the maid immediately asked the chef to clean the fish and slaughter the fish.
The girls who were looking for wild vegetables were also back one after another.
