My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 156 Fishing Bait
Zhu Quan was young and had a stubborn temper, and Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoyu were both children.

So when they talk, it doesn't carry that much weight.

As soon as this was mentioned, Zhu Quan refuted it without thinking. It can be seen that if you want to convince Zhu Quan in Daning this time... it is almost impossible.

Zhu Gaoyu still looked like a child, overly lively.

But when the three were trying to persuade King Ning, he mentioned something as if he hadn't meant to:
"Uncle Seventeen, when will my cousin return to Daning? When we left, he was the only one left in Yingtian Prefecture. He is younger than me, and you are so relieved..."

As he spoke, Zhu Gaoyu began to mutter about the time when he and Zhu Panyu wandered around in Yingtian Prefecture.

As Prince Ning listened, he seemed to see his own son.

After all, he was his first son. How could King Ning have no feelings for Zhu Panyan?

It's just that he couldn't express it on weekdays. Now that Zhu Gaoyu came, he could reveal some of his emotions.

However, the more Zhu Gaoyu spoke, the more uncomfortable Prince Ning felt.

Yes.

How old is Zhu Panyan?

Zhu Quan was such a tough guy who could kill enemies on horseback and write articles on foot, but he ended up feeling sore in his nose and eyes.

His throat seemed to be choked.

After a long while, Zhu Quan finally spoke:
"When I left, he hugged me and cried. He must have not eaten well or slept well when I was away..."

Uh……

Zhu Gaoyu thought about it carefully and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Actually, if you really want to say it...it's not that exaggerated.

At least when Zhu Gaoyu was still in Jinling, Zhu Panyu was like a little tail following Zhu Gaoyu's butt. The two of them walked on the streets of Yingtian Prefecture like street urchins.

At that time, Zhu Gaoyu would sometimes do some serious work, connect with some nobles, go to the old man Geng Bingwen's house to chat, or act nice in front of his uncle Xu Huizu.

But Zhu Panyan was just having fun.

It doesn't seem like she was sad or crying.

But after Zhu Gaoyu glanced at his uncle Seventeen who was already in a state of self-blame, he chose to remain silent.

Zhu Gaoyu took a deep breath, patted Prince Ning on the shoulder in a mature manner, and said:

"Uncle Seventeen, there are some things that you should think about for your cousin even if you don't think about yourself..."

Zhu Quan's expression changed again and again.

When Zhu Gaosui saw this, his brows immediately raised.

He looked at Prince Ning, then at his younger brother who had an innocent and harmless look on his face. He felt a little surprised and a little bit unbelieving.

He spoke for so long, using reason and action to persuade people.

In the end, you’re not as good as just a few short sentences from me?
At this moment, Zhu Gaosui finally felt the disparity in the world.

After a long time, King Ning let out a long sigh.

Because he was too entangled, his eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot.

"Let me think about it..."

It can be said that this answer was within the expectations of both Zhu Gaoyu and Zhu Gaosui.

Faced with the many arrangements made by King Ning, the two looked at each other and accepted them readily.

When they came out of Prince Ning's Mansion, Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoyu looked at each other and both realized that this mission was not so easy.

Even Prince Ning, who had always had a good relationship with them, was in such a difficult situation.

It would be even more difficult to convince the three Uriankhai guards who are Mongolians.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoyu patted his third brother on the shoulder.

Although he was young, what he said at this moment was extremely mature and appropriate:

"Third brother, nothing can go smoothly all the time. Now that we are in Daning, there won't be a fight with Dad for a while, so let's just relax."

"Relax?"

Zhu Gaosui looked at him suspiciously and couldn't help wondering:
"It's early spring, the ice on the river has just melted, and the cold wind is blowing. What's there to relax about?"

Zhu Gaoyu scratched his forehead, and suddenly, a very bold idea popped up:
"fishing!"

"fishing?!"

……

"In spring, the river water has just thawed. After being frozen for a winter, the fish consume less in low temperature conditions. In addition, spring is here, so they have more food to eat. The fish are the fattest at this time..."

Listening to Zhu Gaoyu mumbling there, Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but laugh and poked his wrist.

Zhu Gaoyu's exposed wrist was plump and full of flesh. When it was poked, a dimple of flesh was revealed.

As the third elder brother, Zhu Gaosui could not help but speak:
"You usually eat a lot, why are you so concerned about these two or three fishes?"

When Zhu Gaoyu thought about the opportunity to show off his fishing skills, he couldn't help but feel proud and confident.

He glanced at Zhu Gaosui and snorted:
"The fish that Zhu Gaoyu caught himself tastes better than ordinary fish."

Zhu Gaosui: "..."

Childish little brat!

Seeing that his third brother didn't say anything, Zhu Gaoyu immediately became relentless:

"Third brother, at this time, you should say 'yes'!"

Zhu Gaosui had no choice but to respond perfunctorily:

"Ah, yes, yes..."

Zhu Xiaosi frowned, feeling that something was right, but also something was wrong...

What's wrong?

Zhu Gaoyu supported his head and thought all the way until he closed his eyes unconsciously and dozed off, but he still didn't figure it out.

The river that Zhu Gaoyu and Zhu Gaosui were heading to was actually some distance away from Prince Ning's Palace.

This river is called the Xilamulun River, and it flows through the border area between Daning and the three Wulingha guards.

The Xilamulun River originates from the Greater Khingan Range and is known as the "Grandmother River" of the Mongolian people. It occupies an important position in Mongolian culture, nourishing generations of Mongolians and providing them with fertile pasture.

When Zhu Gaoyu excitedly arrived at the bank of the Xilamulun River, he opened his eyes and found several children there.

There were some who were about eight or nine years old, a little older than him, and some who were about the same age.

At this time, they were all in a shallow tributary, struggling to catch fish.

In response to this, Zhu Gaoyu naturally withdrew his gaze.

Zhu Gaosui usually looks calm and steady, but he is, after all, a young man in his prime.

Looking at the vast expanse of water in front of him, he couldn't help but look relieved.

Although he had won many victories after leading his troops in battle for so many days, Zhu Gaosui still felt a lot of pressure.

Now that Zhu Gaoyu had gone out to fish and bait a bait, it was a blessing in disguise, as it helped relieve the pressure on his third brother.

the other side.

Zhu Gaoyu's arrival also attracted the attention of the group of children over there.

The clothes these children wear, the hats on their heads, and the ornaments hanging around their necks are clearly Mongolian style.

The leading boy was only nine years old, but due to the naturally strong physique of the Mongolians and the constant supply of milk from cows and goats on the grassland, he looked about the same age as a boy of twelve or thirteen. He narrowed his eyes and calmly looked at Zhu Gaoyu and Zhu Gaosui who were walking towards him.

Zhu Gaosui, who was behind, walked slowly. Although his robe was simple, it revealed an elegance that made people dare not underestimate him. Coupled with Zhu Gaosui's overall temperament, he looked even more extraordinary.

On the contrary, Zhu Gaoyu, who was three heads tall and round, moved happily with small steps and soon arrived at the river.

As soon as he heard the sound of his feet, several guards around him immediately took out the prepared tools.

It was at this time that the leading Mongolian boy, Baoyin, narrowed his eyes slightly.

The two attendants beside the little fat man, one had a fair face and no beard, and the other had a high nose and deep eyes, looking like foreigners.

Could it be that this little fat guy, and even the man behind him, are both... surnamed Zhu?

When Baoyin thought of this, she couldn't help but look at Zhu Gaoyu and Zhu Gaosui again, and a thoughtful look appeared on her face.

Zhu Gaoyu didn't feel anything and started stirring the bait on his own.

But when Zhu Gaoyu took out the bait, the children on Baoyin's side burst into exclamations again.

Zhu Gaoyu actually caught a huge bucket of earthworms, which were mixed with a bunch of chicken and duck offal.

The earthworms were crowded together in the bucket, moving around or twisting into a ball.

Zhu Gaoyu used violent means. He used a thing similar to a wooden pestle and pounded it several times to stir the mixture of earthworms and internal organs into a paste.

This scene...cannot be easily accepted unless you are mentally strong.

At least the leader Baoyin over there couldn't help but feel nauseous when he saw it.

Baoyin glanced at Zhu Gaoyu, and seeing that he did not react, she plucked up her courage, took a few steps closer, and tried to look at the "bait for nesting" he had prepared in the wooden barrel.

It's impossible that a child can accept it, but Baoyin can't accept it, right?

Baoyin opened her eyes wide and looked...

"vomit……"

The sound of vomiting suddenly occurred.

Baoyin's face was alternating between blue and white.

Just a worm... Ugh... How could he... Ugh...

Well, he really couldn't accept it.

The key point is that catching the earthworms would be fine, but Zhu Gaoyu "cruelly" crushed them.

It can be said to be madness...

Baoyin retreated again and again, until his skin touched the still somewhat cold river water of early spring again, he finally realized that he came here to catch fish for a snack, not to watch Zhu Gaoyu "pounding earthworms".

He looked back and saw a group of playmates following him.

Except that he himself was the grandson of Toerhuochar, the leader of Doyan Guard, the rest of his playmates were either from Taining Guard or Funing Guard, and their fathers had relatively high status among the three Wulanha Guards.

And these playmates are now not even as good as Baoyin’s reaction just now.

Everyone looked at Zhu Gaoyu as if they were looking at a hideous executioner, their eyes full of fear and disbelief.

How could Zhu Gaoyu do such a cruel thing at such a young age?
Zhu Gaoyu faced their gazes, seemingly unaware that he was still stirring the carefully prepared bait and even put a little rice wine in it.

The main attraction is hodgepodge!

He just couldn't believe that with such a pot of bait, he still couldn't catch any fish today!
……

The bait falls into the water.

Zhu Gaoyu began to wait calmly.

Zhu Gaosui was killing time with his fishing rod, while he was joking with Zhu Gaoyu, saying:
"You've used all these good things, including earth dragons and rice wine. If you still can't catch any fish, then that's really your problem..."

Zhu Gaoyu snorted coldly:
"Third brother, you know nothing about my strength!"

Zhu Gaosui said nothing, just chuckled twice.

This little brat!

It would be nice if he could catch some fish...

If you fail to catch it, be prepared to be ridiculed by him!

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Zhu Gaoyu's fishing rod jump.

Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but widen his eyes.

How long has it been?

Have you caught a fish yet?

He doesn't believe it!
It must be a blind cat catching a dead mouse, Zhu Xiaosi just got lucky!

Zhu Gaoyu didn't care about that and shouted to Zhu Gaosui:
"Brother, hurry up, come and help!"

Zhu Gaosui's heart skipped a beat.

How big is this fish?

Even with Zhu Xiaosi's great strength, he couldn't even pull the fish up...

He no longer hesitated, strode forward, pressed down on Zhu Gaoyu's hand, and the two of them pulled him back with force. Under the surface of the water in front of the beach, a shadow flickered faintly, splashing water on the surface.

Except for Baoyin, almost everyone in Baoyin's group exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

It’s not that they haven’t seen the market.

Although this fish is big, they have seen it before.

What really amazed them was that Zhu Gaoyu caught a big fish not long after he put down the bait.

By the time the big fish jumped ashore, it was a crucian carp with tender meat.

Although Baoyin, Bater and others were still catching fish in the shallows, their eyes were already glued to the crucian carp that Zhu Gaoyu had just caught.

Battelle's face was still a little pale because he had just vomited.

He looked at Baoyin beside him. His spirits had also become more alive because of the fish, and he was beaming with joy:
"Baoyin, don't you think it's because of the bait? Why do I feel like they're fishing faster than we are with a spear?"

When spearing fish, due to refraction on the water surface, the position of the fish underwater will deviate from the position seen by people. Therefore, spearing fish is not as easy as it seems.

As he was talking, there was another fat guy next to him, who spoke with envy on his face:
"These two were able to catch fish so quickly, could it really be because of the bait?"

Although they have high status, they are still children after all.

Although Baoyin, Bater and others were wary of the existence of Zhu Gaoyu and Zhu Gaosui, they still unknowingly approached the direction of Zhu Gaoyu because the big crucian carp weighing seven or eight kilograms was so enviable.

"Ouch!"

"Another one! Another smelt!"

"It's so big! Baoyin, why don't we go ask him how he did it?"

Baoyin was a little annoyed.

He glanced at Zhu Gaoyu with a sour look:

"It's just fishing..."

The little follower next to him opened his big clear eyes:

"Then Baoyin, can you do it?"

Baoyin became angry and said:
"Even though I can't do it, can I still not say it?!"
