dream of red mansion

Chapter 476
"Since the garden gate is closed, how can he get in?"

"This servant doesn't know..." Zhou Rui's family replied with a smile.In fact, she knew how Jia Qing entered the garden, but it was hard to tell.

Jia Mu didn't think much about it. Seeing that the whole room was full of people, she said, "Since that's the case, I just want to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva in the Jade Emperor Temple. Why don't you close the gate of the garden today?" , let's all go in and take a walk.

Today is Qiqiao Festival, you sisters also go in, and sacrifice to the God of Flowers. "

"Yes." Sanchun and the others were happy when they heard this. Although it's autumn now, the weather is still a bit stuffy. If they stay in the house like this all the time, they've already gotten bored.What's more, at this time Jia Qing is still in the garden, where there is Jia Qing, it will definitely not be boring, this is the consensus of all of them.

……

"Ho ho ho ho..."

"Hahaha."

From the Qinfang Pavilion with its newly emerald green walls, bursts of laughter came from it, almost covering the sound of rushing water in the Qinfang River.

"Second Master, look quickly, I caught another one."

Jia Qing cast a glance at a little goldfish that was still struggling in the air before being taken off by Pei Feng, and said nonchalantly: "Your one is useless at all, you can't eat it, it's still so small, cut..."

Even though Jia Qing was like this, Pei Feng still took it off carefully and put it into her small wooden barrel.Inside, there are already several small fish, which are her half morning harvest.

Jia Qing sat on the two-wheeled cart specially customized for him, holding a fishing rod, squinting his eyes slightly, enjoying the leisure time.

"Second Miss and Third Miss, they are here!"

Looking back, Jia Qing saw the delicate and bright Daiyu, the gentle and approachable Yingchun, the graceful Tanchun, and the beautiful and lovely Xichun in front of them, followed by several big maids, all coming to Qinfang Pavilion.

Jia Qing looked overjoyed, and handed the fishing rod to a maid beside her, who was pushed by Xie Luan towards them.

"Second brother."

"Why are you here?"

"Hee hee, the old lady brought us in." Xiao Xichun was very happy, walked to the side of the cart, and offered to serve as a guard for Jia Qing.

Jia Qing nodded and asked, "Did Sister Bao come with you?"

Jia Qing just asked casually when she saw that Baochai didn't come out to play with them, but Daiyu, who was walking towards the pavilion, immediately said after hearing this: "Sister Jiabao is not like you, who has so much free time to go out and wander around every day." .

People's time is used to learn how to make soup, or to send ginseng to others..."

Uh.
Jia Qing, who knew that Daiyu was running on him, just pretended not to hear anything, and said, "Oh, since Sister Bao is so busy, let's leave her alone. Look, is that fish fat?"

Regarding Jia Qing's avoidance of talking about it, Daiyu twitched her mouth, but didn't say anything else, and followed everyone's gaze to look at the big wooden barrel in the middle.

what……?
Daiyu and the others were immediately attracted by the strange fish swimming in the vat.

"Is this a fish?"

No wonder they were surprised, just because the fish in the bucket was really different from the fish they had seen before.The whole body is black, the trunk of the body is rod-shaped, the mouth is big and flat, lurking in the water, there is a sense of treachery.

"Of course it's a fish, and it's a delicious fish..."

Hearing Jia Qing said that it was indeed a fish, Xichun, who squatted down to watch, suddenly lost her guard, and stretched out her fingers to touch its smooth and cold body.

"Sister, be careful."

Clinker Jia Qing suddenly reminded her, and Xichun hurriedly withdrew her hand.

Yingchun didn't understand what he meant, and asked, "Second brother, can this fish still hurt people?"

Jia Qing nodded and said: "There are two rows of sharp side teeth in its mouth. If you accidentally put your fingers into its mouth, you may be bitten by it."

In order to prove his words and let the sisters see and see, Jia Qing said to Ping'er: "Little wood, catch it, open its mouth and let the second sister and the others have a look."

"Huh??... oh..."

Pinger stepped forward hesitantly, and stretched out her hand tremblingly to catch the fish.In fact, she wasn't afraid at first, she and the other two maids took the hook out of its mouth and put it into the bucket just now.But now after hearing Jia Qing's words, she was already afraid of this weird-looking breed.

"Let me come!"

Seeing that Mu Ping'er was struggling to catch the fish, Third Sister You, who came out with her, couldn't see it. She took the initiative to step forward, put both hands together, and caught the fish with one effort, and then took advantage of the situation to break open its large body. Mouth……

Sure enough, in its cavity, fine teeth are densely covered, small and sharp, coupled with its black body, it is really scary.

"Wow, it has so many teeth and looks so sharp, it's scary!
Brother, how did you catch it? By the way, what kind of fish is this? Why have I never seen it before? "

Xichun really felt a little afraid of the fish, so she hurriedly asked.

Jia Qing looked at the faces of the girls and said with a calm smile: "As it looks, this fish is called black fish or stick fish. It is fierce and cruel by nature, and it feeds on other small animals and fish in the water. It is the king of fish.

They can live out of the water for days without dying.If there are black fish in a pond, they can often eat all the other fish in it, and then escape to another water area, where they continue to run amok and do evil. "

"Ah, are they so bad? Brother, if you can catch it, it means that there are also such fish here. Will they eat up all the fish in Qinfang River in the future?

If that was the case, Qinfangxi would not look good at all. "

Jia Qing smiled and said: "No, Qinfang River is so big, there are so many fishes, big and small, and it is connected to other rivers, so the fish will never be extinct.

What's more, all things in nature are born with each other and restrain each other. If there is a long, there must be a short.Their small size and their unfavorable ability to reproduce are the flaws that God restrains them from unscrupulous. "

While admiring Jia Qing's understanding of the habits of these special fishes, Tanchun couldn't help asking: "Why does the second brother know so much about this, and why have we never seen this kind of fish?"

"These are just descriptions in books, and I accidentally caught one when I was fishing in the Imperial College. I have verified it, so I know. By the way, the black fish is just a name among the market. Its real name should be snakehead. .”

"The snakehead, so this is the snakehead. I have read "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", in which there is a record about the snakehead, which is said to be the top grade of insect fish. No wonder I heard the description of the second elder brother a little familiar, so it is so .”

As soon as Jia Qing reported the name, Daiyu, who frowned for a long time, suddenly spoke.

Jia Qingdao: "Sister Lin is well read and has an extraordinary memory, which makes my brother admire."

Jia Qing's compliments made Daiyu very helpful. Seeing that Tanchun and others also showed strange expressions, Daiyu continued: "Although this snakehead is vicious by nature, it is also one of the most protective fish. It is said that this When the snakehead gives birth to offspring, the fish father and mother fish will accompany them for as long as a year until the young fish can hunt on their own.

In addition, snakehead is also known as filial fish. It is rumored that the mother fish will be blind for a period of time during childbirth and cannot hunt for food, so the little fish will swim into the mother fish's mouth first during that time until the mother fish recovers. , its young fish are running out..."

When Daiyu said this, she felt inexplicably sad.
