Chapter 94 Fishing Well

... OK.

If she doesn't want to use the method, then she won't. She has now accepted an order from the county. The tofu shop needs to expand its scale and increase production. In this way, it should be easier to obtain diligence points.

It's just a matter of waiting a few more days.

It just so happened that she had to stabilize the orders from the county during this period of time. She also had other ideas in the town, and all of these required time to do.

Just remember to remind her to redeem it when her diligence value is high enough.

【Okay host, no problem host. 】

Xiaowu agreed very quickly.

Zhuang Qingning didn't say anything more, just washed the dishes and went back to sleep. ——At this moment, a boat was floating on Cuiwei Lake.

Although the sun was shining brightly, the breeze brought with it a wisp of moisture from the lake, and there was no dryness at all. Instead, it made people feel very comfortable. There was a small stove burning on the boat, with tea simmering over charcoal fire. Along with the subtle gurgling sound coming from the pot, wisps of tea fragrance rose from the pot.

There were two people on the boat, sitting at the bow, each holding a fishing rod in their hands, staring intently at the extremely calm lake.

Chu Jinzhou, in particular, didn't dare to breathe a single breath, not even blinking, staring straight at the fishing rod.

Chu Jinnian on the side seemed much more relaxed. He sat cross-legged on the ground, supporting his chin with one hand, yawning from time to time, looking lazy and leisurely.

Suddenly, the fishing rod at hand shook slightly. Chu Jinnian's eyes darkened. He reached out to pick up the fishing rod and lifted it up lightly.

A large carp flew up from the lake and finally landed steadily in the cabin.

Ning Feng excitedly untied the fishing hook hanging on the fish's mouth and hung the bait again. Chu Jinnian then raised his hand and threw it, and the fishing hook sank into the water again.

"Young Master is really lucky today. In just a short while, he has caught four or five..." Ning Feng said with a smile, but when he raised his eyes and saw Chu Jinzhou's extremely depressed face, he couldn't say anything.

It’s bad. Why are you talking about this?

Although Chu Jinnian had good luck, Chu Jinzhou hadn't caught any fish at the moment, and he was still talking here. It was obvious that he was trying to make Chu Jinzhou feel unhappy.

"Don't panic, Third Young Master. I think the big fish are all behind. In my opinion, Third Young Master will definitely catch the biggest fish later..."

"I hope so." Chu Jinzhou was not happy with Ning Feng's comfort. Instead, he sighed even more, frowned, and looked at the fishing rod in front of him with his chin in his hand.

What was wrong with the fish? Why weren't they biting his rod?

Isn't this the same fishing rod, the same bait? Why can't he...

Not looking attractive enough to fish?

Chu Jinzhou picked up his fishing rod, lifted it up, looked at the bait carefully, frowned and looked at Chu Jinnian for a while, then simply picked up his fishing rod and went to the stern of the boat.

"Are you going to separate from big brother?" Chu Jinnian laughed, his pair of extremely beautiful eyes narrowed into a long and narrow shape.

"Brother, you are so lucky. We can't catch any fish here, so we can only go to the stern." Chu Jinzhou replied, "Brother, wait for me for a while. I will go to another place and I guarantee that I can catch more fish than you!"

"That's great. We'll have a fish feast tonight." Chu Jinnian's smile remained unchanged. He watched Chu Jinzhou go over there, but his eyes glanced at the lake.

I finally brought Chu Jinzhou to the lake to fish, so that I could spend more time with him and make him happy. But the fish just kept biting his hook and didn't bite Chu Jinzhou's at all. It was really annoying.

As he was muttering, the fishing rod shook again. Chu Jinnian lifted the rod and caught another carp, which was bigger than the previous one.

Chu Jinnian thought about it, then unhooked the fish and threw it back into the water.

The fish plunged into the water, gained its freedom, and quickly disappeared.

"Young Master, you have always had good luck when fishing since you were a child. There is nothing we can do about it..." Ning Feng muttered to the side.

Chu Jinnian glanced at him.

What he said was true. Ever since he started fishing, he had never failed to catch any fish. Maybe it was because the fish particularly liked him?

If I had known this earlier, I would not have come to the lake to fish. It is also nice to go sightseeing and outing.

Chu Jinnian's eyelids drooped slightly: "How is the investigation going?"

He would have to go back after staying here for a few days, so it would be best if the weather here was calm and peaceful, and there must not be any rough waves to disturb the peaceful boat.

"The courtyard has been cleaned up inside and outside, and anyone who is suspicious has been sent away. Don't worry, young master."

Ning Feng said, "As for the suspicious Miss Zhuang, I have already asked someone to investigate her thoroughly."

"This girl is called Zhuang Qingning. She lost her parents a few years ago and was sent to live with her younger sister in the care of her eldest uncle. She was treated harshly. Some time ago, she fell ill. After she recovered, she begged the village head to set up a female household for her and then started grinding tofu for a living."

"There is nothing wrong with her origins, and she has never come into contact with strange people. From what the villagers said, she is an honest and decent child. Even though she was treated harshly and didn't have enough food to eat in the past, she never stole anything from others. I think this girl is just kind-hearted and doesn't ask for anything in return."

"That's good."

Chu Jinnian nodded slightly and didn't ask any other questions.

As long as there is no potential danger around Chu Jinzhou, he doesn't care about anything else.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But this Zhuang Qingning...

Such people are indeed rare.

Somehow, Chu Jinnian's mind suddenly emerged the thin little girl he saw in the town earlier, with the determined look on her face when she threw copper coins into the air.

Somewhat interesting.

Chu Jinzhou touched his chin.

"Brother, come quickly..." Chu Jinzhou suddenly shouted from the stern of the boat, "A fish has taken the bait. It's so big, I can't pull it out. Brother, come and help me."

"I'll be right there." Chu Jinnian strode over and saw Chu Jinzhou's small body pulling the fishing rod desperately. The fishing line was stretched straight and seemed about to break at any time.

It looks like a really big fish.

Chu Jinnian walked over and reached out to lift the fishing rod.

Gloomy was Chu Jinnian’s first reaction.

Even though he used a lot of his strength, he still couldn't pull it up, but if he loosened his grip, he could feel the thing sinking slightly.

This weight is far beyond the weight of the fish, and through the lake water, one can roughly see the appearance of the "big fish".

Chu Jinnian's heart suddenly sank, and his expression changed.

"Brother, is the fish particularly big?" Chu Jinzhou looked at it excitedly, even tilting his head to look into the water.

"Take the Third Young Master back to the boat."

Chu Jinnian raised his arm to block Chu Jinzhou's sight, and turned to instruct Ning Feng.

The voice was low and slightly chilly.

Obviously, things are not going well at this point.

Ning Feng immediately understood and replied "yes", then hugged Chu Jinzhou and returned to the cabin.
