The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1710

Zhao Xu had been fishing by the water for a whole morning, not to mention really rewarding. There was actually a fat carp in his fish basket. It was not just luck to catch such a fish at this time It was so simple, and Zhao Xu was very happy. Besides, there were not many people who could come to the river to fish at this time. People who passed by looked at Zhao Xu strangely.

"Oh, I'm bored, where should I go?" Xu stood up and stretched himself. He was very tired from sitting this morning, but fortunately, he had a good harvest. Zhao Xu was about to return to the city and wanted to let the people in the inn give him a hand. I made this fish myself.

Just when Zhao Xu was packing up his things and was about to leave, he saw a fishing boat on the river. It was either a ferry boat or a fishing boat. This boat looked like a fishing boat. Zhao Xu rolled his eyes and shouted:

"The boatman is here!"

The boatman thought he wasn't calling him, so he didn't care.Because usually, I'm just a fisherman, not a ferry, so they shouldn't be calling me.

"Boater, this way, this way." Zhao Xu waved his hand vigorously, and only then did the people on the fishing boat realize that the people on the shore were really calling him, and he started to drive towards the shore with the boat.

Zhao Xu saw that the person who punted the boat was an old man. Although he was wearing ordinary fishermen's clothes, he looked hale and hearty, no wonder he was so strong.

The old man was also getting closer and closer to Zhao Xu, and he was also looking at Zhao Xuxu. This man looked very young, but he felt that he had gone through vicissitudes, and he didn't look like a person of this age at all.

The old man has lived for decades. Seeing Zhao Xu dressed in gorgeous clothes, such a person is definitely not an ordinary person, so what did he ask himself to do?

"I don't know what the young master called the little old man?"

"You're being polite, old man. I think you're the only boat on the river. I want to go for a swim on the river. I wonder if it's convenient for the old man?" Zhao Xu bowed his hands.

Seeing Zhao Xu being so courteous, the old fisherman's affection for him increased greatly: "If you don't dislike the old man's rudimentary fishing boat, it's the old man's honor, please..."

When Zhao Xu entered the boat, he realized that it was not just as simple as the cabin, because there were also a lot of daily necessities here, which means that they lived here, which is not surprising because many fishermen live on the boat and in the water. There is nothing unusual about this either.

"Old man, is this your grandson?" Zhao Xu saw a child about eleven or twelve years old, staring at Zhao Xu, an unexpected visitor, with wide eyes

"Hehe, son, this is the grandson of the little old man, Bao'er, Bao'er has come to visit, and I have seen you." The old man waved his hand and asked his grandson to come over and greet Zhao Xu. Teenagers are also very strong.

"Okay, come here, this is a meeting gift from my uncle. When you grow up, you must be filial to your grandfather, you know, and you must study more." The gift Zhao Xu gave was a piece of gold. Now the Song Dynasty circulates copper coins and gold. Not commonly used, but it is also a hard currency.

"Young master, it's too expensive. The little old man can't earn so much money in his life. Besides, this will make the child develop the idea of ​​getting something for nothing."

The old man quickly declined, because this ingot of gold was at least 50 taels, and he didn't know that Zhao Xu still carried so much gold with him.

"Oh, old man, this isn't for you, it's for Xiaobao. You can't let Xiaobao stay on this boat for the rest of your life, right? When you get ashore, you can start a small business and let him read more books, yes He will benefit later."

Zhao Xu immediately stopped the old man. He knew that the old man was frightened. He had never seen so much money before. This Zhao Xu was really generous.

"No way, son, it's not worth so much even if you buy the old man, so please don't embarrass the old man." The old man shook his head like a rattle.

"Old man, don't refuse. This is a lot for you, but it is a drop in the bucket for me. Xiaobao and I are destined to be my gift to him. Don't refuse again."

What else did the old man say, Zhao Xu directly stuffed the gold into Xiao Bao's arms, and said:
"Little Treasure remembers what uncle said. From now on, you must be filial to grandpa, be a useful person, and never imitate bad ones, otherwise uncle will be happy."

"Hey, old man, don't be so stubborn. Don't say it for your grandson. It's settled like this. Why doesn't the old man invite me to sit down?" Zhao Xu took the opportunity to change the subject.

"Thank you so much, my lord. Please sit down, my lord. Please don't dislike the shabby boat." The old fisherman greeted Zhao Xu to sit down without any further excuses.

"Uncle drinks tea." Xiaobao is also very obedient, knowing that the person in front of him is very kind to him, so he poured a cup of tea for Zhao Xu without waiting for his grandfather's orders. Although it was clear tea, Zhao Xu didn't say anything What, what kind of good tea can you want from this fisherman?

"Okay, little treasure, by the way, what's your name, old man?" Zhao Xu moistened his throat and asked.

"Thank you for asking, the youngest old man's surname is Yang, and he is the fourth eldest. You can call me the fourth son of Yang. You don't want to call me the fourth son of Yang. You can just call me the fourth son of Yang."

"Then why do you think you are older than my father? Well, let me call you fourth uncle."

"Then how can I do it? The little old man is just an ordinary fisherman. It seems that the young master is not a simple person. How dare he be a young master like this. Please don't embarrass the old man." Young Master Yang kept shaking his head.

"Hey, fourth uncle, don't say too much. You are an elder, and you should respect the old and love the young in China at any time. Well, fourth uncle, don't say more. Didn't I let Xiaobao call me uncle just now? If you are more polite to me, then I will leave." Zhao Xu said as if he was about to leave.

This frightened Laosi Yang. Zhao Xu had just given him a big gift, and he was about to leave before he had time to thank Zhao Xu. Doesn't this mean that he was ungrateful?
In the end, Zhao Xu had to let it go, and he was still very respectful to Zhao Xu. At this time, he asked: "The little old man and the young master met by chance. I don't know why the young master gave the young old such a big gift?"

Fifty taels of gold is not a small amount. It can instantly turn a beggar into a rich man. A fish is only a few pennies. Zhao Xu has changed the fate of several generations of his family.

Could it be that this young man has some intentions for himself? Could it be that this young man is a good person who specializes in doing good deeds, but even if he does good deeds, he doesn't do so, then you have to ask carefully.

Zhao Xu also guessed that the fourth brother Yang would definitely ask, anyone would. Isn't this unreasonable?
