Da Suining

Chapter 159 Fish

I thought that Princess Guo was a golden branch and jade leaf, and others would worry about everything for her. I didn't expect her to be so thoughtful about things.

Fearing that outsiders would know Xiang Suining's identity as a medicine man, he even praised the monk of Huguo Temple.

According to Princess Guo's instructions, the monks of Huguo Temple went to Changxinhou's Mansion once a day, and chanted sutras as usual. The chanting was shrouded in clouds and mist. There is white smoke rising day by day, sometimes so thick that even the roof tiles are white, like a layer of autumn frost.

The sound of the wooden fish is also very loud, and it can be heard clearly across the street, so that occasionally an old woman with bad eyesight passes by on the corner of the street, smelling the fragrance of Buddha and listening to the wooden fish, thinking that Changxinhou's Mansion is a temple, she can't help but put her hands together. He folded his palms and knelt down facing the wall.

Xiangfu.

The plague outside became more and more serious. The doorkeeper didn't even dare to stand on the threshold, but stood inside the door. When someone knocked on the door, he shrank his neck in shock.

It is also rare to see any strangers.

The emperor refused to let him go to court again, which is really worrying.

When I was able to go to court before, I always felt that going to court was hard.

You have to get up before dawn. In summer, it’s okay. In winter, the north wind is blowing, snowflakes are floating, it’s icy and snowy, and there are ice skates on the eaves. From Xiang’s mansion to the palace, my mouth is white, but my hair is mixed with snowflakes It was frozen, and when we arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the earth dragon in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was roasted, and the snow and ice on the hair melted again, flowing down the hair into the neck, itching and cold, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

At that time, I was looking forward to every day, when I could not go to court.

Everything can't bear to be talked about, no, the emperor is gone, and five days after five days, I don't know when it will end.

At first I slept until noon and didn't wake up. After sleeping for a few days, I felt so bored that my head hurt from sleeping.

The days are long and there is no entertainment, so I play with Tang Xiaoniang.

First played leaf cards, Xiang Daying won against Tang Xiaoniang, Tang Xiaoniang lost three taels of silver, she was so angry that she kicked Xiang Daying several times when she was sleeping at night, one of which was almost kicked by Xiang Daying to the ground, making Xiang Daying I was terrified all night.

Later, we went to the kitchen to make old hen soup together. It was freshly killed old hen. The meat was fresh and tender. Putting it in a stew pot and stewing it for an hour, the taste was really smooth and soft.Tang Xiaoniang said that wolfberry and angelica should be added to the stewed chicken soup, and Xiang Daying said that pepper and star anise should be added. The two argued, and the salty person wanted to cry. In the end, the chicken soup was not finished, and he was blind for nothing.

When Tang Xiaoniang was angry, Xiang Daying naturally had no good results. In order to express his apology, and Tang Xiaoniang also wanted to give him a step, he asked Xiang Daying to draw eyebrows for her.It was a very romantic event, but Xiang Daying was so clumsy that he almost drew Tang Xiaoniang as a fierce Zhang Fei. Looking at the claw-like eyebrows in the bronze mirror, Tang Xiaoniang wanted to cry but had no tears.

The husband and wife are often not together, but they can get along well.

Now day and night are facing each other, sleeping in the same bed, and seeing him everywhere, the taste has changed.

Anyway, no matter how you look at it, it's not pleasing to the eye, and I want to find fault with it every now and then.

In order to avoid troubles, Xiang Daying went fishing in the small pond next to the garden.

Bring some bait, sit in the grass, and fish for half a day, which is quite pleasant.

In addition, Xiang Guoxin didn't have to go to the palace to study with him, this time he was completely liberated, he didn't need to study the books, and he didn't have to be afraid of asking questions from his husband. He was in a good mood, so he went to the small pond to watch fishing.

Xiang Yan embroidered a purse, she was dazzled by the embroidery, just came out to relax, and came to the small pond with a piece of fried sweet potato pancake in her hand.

In this season's small pond, the still water flows deep.

The leaves of the camphor trees on the shore fell, one by one, fell into the small pond, and was swirled by the water, swaying like small boats.

There are a lot of lotus in the pond. In summer, the lotus leaves are like a cover, holding water droplets, floating in the small pond, green and oily, not to mention how beautiful it is, and there are even more "little lotus just showing sharp corners, there has been a lotus for a long time." The beauty of the dragonfly standing above its head".

Autumn is deep, the lotus leaves are yellow, the branches are withered, and the season for picking lotus roots is over. The fish eat the things in the water and grow fat and white. Now they are drinking water around the lotus leaves.

Occasionally a fish jumped out of the water, and there was a "plop" sound, splashing a big splash. The fish was very flexible, and it dived into the pond and swam away in a leisurely manner.

Holding the fishing rod in his hand, Xiang Daying was leaning on a camphor tree, lying half-lying with his legs outstretched happily, but his eyes were meticulously staring at the fishing line: "Bite, bite, and you can catch it right away."

"Father, your bait doesn't work. Fish are vegetarians, they have to eat earthworms." Xiang Guoxin dug a few earthworms in the wet mud by the pond and threw them into the water.

A few earthworms disappeared without entering the water. This movement disturbed the fish under the lotus leaf, and several fish swam over with their tails wagging.

"Hush—" Xiang Daying patted his thigh, making Xiang Guoxin whisper.

"Father, do you want me to dig some earthworms for you? Use earthworms to fish, and make sure you catch them fast."

"Keep your voice down, it scares all the fish away."

"Father, what are you talking about? I can't hear you."

"You loser." Xiang Daying was so angry that he patted the grass: "Please keep your voice down, I finally attracted a fish, and I was about to catch it, but you just threw earthworms into the water, and the fish was caught by your movement." How can I catch it if I run away?"

"Father, you can't catch it because you are old and have bad eyesight. What you caught was not a fish at all, but a worn shoe."

"Nonsense, how could there be broken shoes in our small pond."

"Father, have you forgotten? You were drunk two years ago, and you were fishing by a small pond. You didn't catch the fish, and slipped and fell into the pond. Later, you were caught, but your shoes were lost. Only."

"If you don't talk, will you be regarded as dumb?" Xiang Daying put down the fishing rod angrily and glanced at Xiang Guoxin: "It's all about the old millet and rotten sesame seeds, so let's talk about it again."

Xiang Guoxin stuck out his tongue.

There is a small arch bridge on the small pond that can only be passed by one person. Standing on the small arch bridge to watch the scenery, the courtyard is deep and the autumn colors are thick, which is not a special taste.

Seeing Xiangyan standing on the small arch bridge, Xiang Suining decided to take another road to the backyard, even if it was a little further away.

Xiang Yan was feeling bored, and seeing Xiang Suining not far away, she leaned on the small arch bridge and said with a smile: "Second Miss sneaked out again? She came back so late, where did she go?"

"Go where I want to go." Xiang Suining shrank his hands into his sleeves on purpose.

Xiang Yan's eyes are always good, Xiang Suining's small movements can't escape her eyes, she squinted at Xiang Suining's hand: "The second girl is injured? Could it be that something happened outside?"

"Is there anything else you need? I'm going back to my room."

"Father—" Xiangyan yelled loudly, then lifted up her skirt and ran to Xiang Daying's side: "Father, Guoxin and I have always been obedient, staying in the mansion obediently and never going out, but why did the second girl put me on the bed?" Dad, your words fell on deaf ears. Look, she has gone crazy again. She hurt her hands, wrapped them thickly, and showed bright red blood. Going out at this time is not putting our whole family in a dangerous situation. Is it so ignorant, if father doesn't punish her, I won't obey."

"Really?" Xiang Daying looked at Xiang Suining on the small arch bridge from a distance, still dressed in an ordinary way, with a kind of frailty in the wind blowing lotus leaves, Xiang Daying told Xiang Yan: "Go and call her."

Xiangyan sent a message in the past: "Second girl, dad is calling you."

I know it's not good.

Xiang Suining moved step by step to Xiang Daying's side, slightly bent his knees, crossed his back and saluted: "Father."

"Where have you been?"

"I--"

"Father, your eyesight is too bad. I caught a shabby shoe just now, and now I caught a shabby clothes. You can't do this kind of fishing. Dad, you have to change to a place with deeper water, just in front of you." There are the most fish under the lotus leaves, maybe you can catch a big carp in a while." Xiang Guoxin happily pointed to the fish in the water to show Xiang Daying: "Father, look, those fish like to eat earthworms the most. .”

"Guo Xin, I'm talking to your second sister."

"Father, if you don't concentrate on fishing, the fish in the pond will swim away again."

Xiang Daying closed his eyes and calmed down slightly.

"I won't delay Dad's fishing." Xiang Suining wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but Xiang Daying grabbed her wrist directly, and with a twist of his big hand, the cloth wrapped in Xiang Suining's hand fell away, and the wound on her hand was exposed to everyone before.

"Second sister, what's wrong with your hand? It looks like it was cut by a knife." Xiangguo felt a little distressed: "Who did it, I'll find him right now."

"Guo Xin, you haven't gone to school for a few days, and you talk like this, is it because you are not controlled by Mr.?" Xiangyan straightened her hair on the sideburns, and pinched a half-bloomed pink crabapple into it. In the ear, I took a photo of the water in the small pond: "Grandmother and dad have repeatedly explained that it is very important now, and you should not run around without permission. The plague outside is so severe that it is said that the people who died in Qingcheng can't be exhausted with a car. If the second girl is infected and brings the plague back to the mansion, what shall we do? The second girl does not listen to father's words, so she should be punished."

"How should I be punished?" Xiang Suining asked her back.

"Of course...of course..." Xiang Yan's voice was crisp and clear, "of course...it's a family law."

"I'm fishing right now. I'll talk about family law later." Xiang Daying may be addicted to fishing, or he wants to give Xiang Suining a break. Anyway, what he said seems to be unwilling to pursue it: "Leave quickly. Here, my fish are scared away by you."

"Father, you are biased. Every time we are asked to abide by the family law, why don't you punish the second girl for being disobedient?"

"Why is the second girl disobedient?" Mrs. Xiang's voice came from behind the rockery.

Mrs. Xiang was wearing a dark purple double-breasted wide-sleeved shirt and a silver swing on her head. Supported by Madam Su, she slowly walked across the rocks, crossed the small arched bridge, and came to the grass by the small pond.

It's rare to gather so neatly on the grass.

Seeing that Xiang Suining hadn't come back after going out for so long, Mrs. Xiang was really worried, so she came out to meet him, but she was supported by Madam Su, and walked around the small pond.

I had seen Xiang Daying fishing in this area with his children a long time ago. Mrs. Xiang had nothing to say to him, so she didn't come over. She just looked at the withered flowers in the garden and the water in the pond. The wild ducks in the place and the osmanthus tree planted in the old year are also alive. After a while, the osmanthus will bloom. At that time, the golden color of Kazuki and the charming fragrance will be pleasant to think about.

Just as he was enjoying himself, he heard Xiang Yan saying something in a high-pitched voice.

In this mansion, Xiang Yan fights the most is Xiang Suining.

I don't know if it's a disagreement, but when these two people get together, they have to grind a few words.

Seeing Mrs. Xiang coming, Xiang Suining wanted to salute, but Xiangyan had already shed tears, wiped her tears with a small handkerchief, and supported her maid Chunyu's arm, as if she couldn't stand without Chunyu Like: "Grandma, you come to judge."

"It's not like the third girl doesn't know what grandmother can judge. Grandma is the most partial."

Xiang Yan was devastated.

Xiang Daying winked at her hurriedly, and then told Chunyu: "The third girl is tired, why are you still standing there, why don't you help the third girl to rest?"

Xiangyan broke free from Chunyu's arm, but said to Xiang Daying with tears in her eyes: "Father, our Xiang family is also a second grade, don't we have any rules to follow? We set the rules at the beginning, not letting you go out for a stroll, why not?" Did you count?"

Xiang Daying blushed, and looked at Mrs. Xiang with some embarrassment.

"I'm old and have a bad memory. Have you ever made such a rule?"

Su Momo was a little embarrassed, she just supported Mrs. Xiang's arm and didn't answer.

Xiang Yan blushed: "Is grandma trying to protect the second girl?"

"I'm old, and your father won't listen to what you say, so who else can I protect?" Mrs. Xiang smiled coldly: "If the third girl thinks that the second girl should be punished, how can she be punished?"

"Twenty lashes."

"Then the third girl went to the bridge to relax last night, so what should I do? The fried sweet potato pancakes in the hands of the third girl were bought from outside, right?"

"I..." Xiang Yan blushed, then stared at Xiang Suining and said, "You...follow me."

Xiang Suining couldn't argue with a hundred mouths.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xiang made a rescue: "If you don't want people to know, you have to do nothing. If the third girl wants to bite others in the future, she must first check if she is standing upright and sitting upright."

Xiangyan was speechless.

Seeing Mrs. Xiang taking Xiang Suining away, she could only squat on the grass in frustration and throw a piece of sweet potato pancake into the water.

As soon as the water in the pond was shaken, there was a sound of "wow", and the water splashed up half a person's height.

Then, a foot-long carp came out of the water and was caught.

The fish was white and its scales were silvery in the sunlight.

When the fish was caught on the shore, it kept rolling on the grass. Xiang Guoxin and Xiang Daying could hardly hold on to it. The fish was so slippery that it slipped under Xiang Yan's skirt.

Xiang Guoxin was still smiling: "Third Sister's sweet potato cake fried a big carp."

Xiangyan was so frightened that Huarong turned pale, the fish rubbed back and forth on her legs, and she felt that her skirt was bulging, like a snake stuffed, and slippery, so Xiangyan cried: "What are you doing, you are bullying me? People, I knew that you all bullied me, even fish bullied me."

"Third sister, don't move around, don't let the fish run away." Xiang Guoxin prostrated himself on the ground and prepared to catch the fish.

Xiang Daying was also very happy: "Oh, I don't have to choose this fish, it was braised in soy sauce at night.
