Chapter 551 Leisure Fun
Same thing.
The persuasiveness of what one says in person and what others say are completely different.
Especially the person who relays the message has status and strength.
And since it is a retelling, there will be some deviations and gaps in the details, which is normal. The listeners will fill in the gaps in their own imagination.
This is what Yang Dongxiong planned.
"King Yue, what are you going to do? Even though you are only a nominal disciple, you should still let me know about this transformation."
"I will write a letter later? Have the post station pass it on?"
Yang Dongxiong tapped the table with two fingers: "Write here, I'll help you watch."
Liang Qu couldn't get what he wanted, so he ground ink and picked up his pen.
The content is average.
The first half talks about his own changes and conveys his joy, while the second half invites his disciple Wen Shiyun to come to Pingyang Prefecture to play and build relationships.
"The end of August and the beginning of September are good days for catching eels and crickets in the rice fields. Master has..."
Three pages are filled with a lot of writing, most of which talks about the fun of farming.
"Master, how is it?"
“It’s OK…”
The next day.
Master Guan Congjian and the great tiger hunter Helian Nianci came to the Monster Hunting Division to report for duty and happened to run into the innkeeper Yang Dongxiong and were about to greet him.
"Brother Nianci! It just so happens that I have something happy to tell you!"
"Isn't that a coincidence? I didn't expect it. It's probably the fate of a dragon crossing a river. I, as his master, don't usually take care of it."
"Who would have thought that the Saint Emperor would take a liking to him at first sight and think that this boy would be suitable for working in the Hebo Division! Sure enough, in less than two years, he has been promoted to the sixth rank!"
"The dragon girl you have seen is the most beautiful girl in the fight that day. Everyone has their own destiny. We elders cannot interfere too much."
"Bring Cong Jian home for a drink some other day!"
"?"
in the afternoon.
Helian Nianci cut the watermelon, squatted under the eaves, and talked about this matter while cooling off.
"What?" Guan Congjian looked up in astonishment. "Such a big thing has happened. Can we go to Master's house tonight for dinner to celebrate?"
"?"
……
It’s the beginning of September.
The carriage stopped in front of the door facing the scorching sun.
The little boy rushed out of the curtain, jumped down and knocked on the door.
"Master, Master, please open the door! I am Little Stone!"
creak.
"Zhang Jiazai? Little Stone?"
Liang Qu was quite surprised. It had only been a few days since he sent the letter.
Before the excitement in Pingyang Prefecture had completely died down, the grandson of the King of Yue had already arrived first.
"Master!"
Wen Shiyun bowed respectfully, then looked up and stared eagerly.
Liang Qu laughed and patted his head: "Go ahead."
Wen Shiyun cheered and rushed to the backyard. Wu Long followed beside him, wagging his tail and jumping as he ran.
"Zhang Jiazai is really resolute and decisive."
Zhang Xu smiled and said, "Ningjiang Prefecture's capital is to the north, and Pingyang Prefecture's capital is to the south. They are close to each other, and there is only Chizhou in between, so it is convenient for travel.
I received a letter three days ago. Shitou was clamoring to come. The Crown Princess couldn't persuade me, so she had to let me pack my things and bring them to Pingyang Mansion for a two-day vacation. I would like to congratulate Lord Liang on his success in martial arts."
"Zhang Jiazai is too polite. I wonder if the King of Yue..."
The two of them strolled along the corridor and greeted each other.
backyard.
Puff puff!
The fat catfish lies on its back in the pond, opens its mouth and spit out a column of water several meters high, performing the act of a whale spitting water.
"Unable to Move" disguises itself as an ancient tree that cannot move.
The scarred man in a yellow robe walked out of the kitchen carrying a boiling kettle and raised his paw in salute.
Wen Shiyun turned over and returned the greeting in a proper manner. He then hugged Wu Long's head and looked around. However, he found that for some reason, the big river otter who had been doing somersaults and clasping his fists before now ignored him.
An otter stood alone in the shadow of the corridor, with his arms folded, his head slightly raised, a defiant look on his face, as if waiting for something.
Think a little.
Wen Shiyun suddenly had an idea and clasped his hands together.
The otter's pointed tail trembled, leaving an afterimage, and he felt very comfortable. Before he could raise his hand, a knife suddenly fell and chopped him hard.
boom!
The otter's fur stood up and it squatted down in pain. "What a hard skull."
Long Yao rubbed his wrist.
Taotao covered his head with his hands, feeling extremely ashamed and angry. His eyes were wide open and he jumped up, opening his claws in the air that flashed with cold light.
Suddenly.
A dark shadow flashed.
The fur on the otter's body tightened, and its limbs drooped, feeling sore and weak.
Liang Qu grabbed Taotaokai by the scruff of the neck, put him back on the ground, and patted his head.
"Go, get out the fishing gear you prepared two days ago!"
The dragon girl turned her wrist and smiled without saying anything.
Otter looked back every few steps and gritted his teeth at the smug dragon girl who was hiding behind the god.
The fat catfish holds its belly high and its long whiskers ripple like waves.
When Wen Shiyun heard that he had to get fishing gear, he thought of what was written in the letter and his eyes lit up: "Master, are you going to fish for eels and crayfish?"
"Yes! Master, I have a few acres of paddy fields. This year, I planted rice and black-spotted frogs. Go and see how they are growing. In summer, the water is deep and there are eels and crayfish everywhere! Catch them and I'll make you fish noodles and crayfish!"
"Elder~" The dragon girl opened her eyes wide.
Liang Qu waved his hand and said, "Those who want to go can come together! I asked Big Beaver to make a lot of fishing rods! One for each person!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a great response in the courtyard, and all the dragon girls and dragon men wanted to go.
A few moments.
Otter carried several small fishing rods on his shoulders, put his left and right arms through the handles, and carried two small buckets on each back. He put another bucket upside down on his head and hooked his chin. He walked out of the beaver house with a clang.
The otter arrived with a bucket.
"set off!"
Liang Qu led the team, followed by the dragon people, and they passed through the small gate behind the pond and headed towards the endless fields.
The wind comes from the surface of the river.
Seven people strolled along the ridge of the field, accompanied by reeds, followed by a few river otters wearing wooden buckets on their heads, running and stopping to catch dragonflies.
On the right is the vast Jianghuai Lake, and on the left are green seedlings submerged in clear water.
The lush rice fields cast shadows on the sky.
The figures of people, otters and black dogs flashed by one after another, and small fish hiding among the seedlings floated on the water and spit bubbles.
Crack!
Wen Shiyun came down from the ridge of the field, grabbed a reed stalk, stepped on the head of the fat catfish, and swam across the lake, riding the wind.
Wulong swung his tail and ran along the river bank.
"If the elder wants to eat eels, why not just ask someone to go to the fishing station to buy some? Why bother? Even if it's a good eel, we can catch it in the big lake."
The Longping River is sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, and it's unclear why.
Long Binglin's ears twitched slightly, and he turned his head and stared back.
"Brother Binglin, why are you looking at me? I'm an expert at catching eels! Even precious eels, I can catch dozens of kilograms a day without even getting out of breath!"
Long Pingjiang looked at the dragon girl beside Liang Qu, thoughtfully, and pulled Long Pinghe and smiled.
"This is a rural hobby. Besides, it's an adult's business, so we just need to accompany them."
"Fun?"
Long Pinghe doesn't understand romance, but he listens to his elder brother.
After walking for several miles on the lush green grass, we saw large rice fields surrounded by nets, which was completely different from the open-air rice fields before.
There are two small wooden houses built on the edge of the field, far apart in front and back.
"I am deeply honored to trouble Lord Liang to take the time out of his busy schedule to show his concern for me." The steward trotted out of the wooden house and bowed to greet him.
"It's alright, rice frogs, how are the rice leeches growing?"
“This year, there is enough moisture and the rice frogs have to dig ditches in an orderly manner, so we have to plant less rice, but overall, we will still make money.
When raising frogs in the past, we had to change the water and feed them every few days. Now that we grow rice, there is almost no need to change the water unless we regularly drain and ventilate the rice.
The demand for fertilizer and pest control for rice has also dropped sharply, and even the input of feed for frog farming has been reduced a lot...
My Lord, my Lord?
"Ok?"
Liang Qu looked back.
The manager couldn't help but glance sideways, and saw several beautiful women fishing for frogs with bamboo poles by the rice field, and he quickly became serious.
Don't look at anything inappropriate.
"The rice frogs are on the right side, which covers one hundred mu. As long as the adults don't break the net bag, they can do whatever they want. On the left side are the rice leeches. I see that the adults have brought the children with them, so it's better to stay away from them.
The hundreds of acres outside are ordinary rice fields, which are also our land, but we didn't plant them this year. If you want to fish for eels, this land is the best, but adults need to be careful, there are many eels and water snakes. "
