Chapter 468 A blind cat meets a dead mouse
"puff……"
Jiang Wan almost spit out all the tea in her mouth. She didn't expect Song Jiuchi to be so direct.
That's true. People in ancient times were very reserved. There was no such thing as dating. If they liked someone, they would just marry him or her.
Facing Qi Chu's red-eared and thick-necked face, Jiang Wan was still in the mood to tease:
"Did you promise him?"
"No."
Qi Chu let out a sigh of relief, “Actually, I don’t know how I feel about him.
I always feel that I can’t easily agree to this kind of thing, otherwise my parents will break my legs.”
In fact, Qi Chu is not stupid. She knows that her and Song Jiuchi’s identities are somewhat awkward.
Even if the families of both sides are willing, I am afraid that the royal family will not be happy.
Hearing this, Jiang Wan sighed, took Qi Chu's hand and said:
"But Chuchu, it's hard to find a true person in this world, especially someone who likes you and he also likes you."
"Sister Jiang."
Qi Chu's eyes turned red, "Actually, I know, when he said he wanted to marry me, I almost agreed.
But I do have concerns. My grandfather has close ties with you and has always been on guard against those people in Kyoto.
If I marry Song Jiuchi, wouldn't that mean I'll be roasting you and the prince on the fire?"
"If you don't try, how do you know what your family thinks?"
Jiang Wan gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, "Chu Chu, you can cultivate your relationship first.
There is no rush to get married. Let's see how the elders of both sides discuss it."
"Sister Jiang has a point."
Qi Chu thought about it and said seriously, "Just like you and the prince, right?"
"right."
Jiang Wan's face also showed a hint of happiness, "Chu Chu, I can see that you both really like each other.
Grandpa Chu loves you so much, he must want you to be happy."
"Then I'll go discuss it with Song Jiuchi?"
Qi Chu blushed, "He was afraid that I would misunderstand his relationship with Lian Qiao.
That’s why I’m so anxious to express my feelings, otherwise I wouldn’t know that this idiot wants to marry me.”
"Go quickly, or they'll go look for Lian Qiao again."
Jiang Wan pushed Qi Chu, and upon hearing Lian Qiao, Qi Chu quickly stepped forward and forced her to walk in a way that was unrecognizable to her six emotions.
Seeing her walking so fast, Jiang Wan said with a smile: "Chu Chu, I'm going to go fishing for crayfish in a few days.
Bring Song Jiuchi with you, I'll prepare some delicious food for you."
"Okay."
Qi Chu waved to Jiang Wan without even turning his head and ran away very fast, fearing that the man would be snatched away by someone else.
“What crawfish?”
Fuling walked in with a confused look on her face. Jiang Wan didn't expect her to get up so late today.
"You didn't go to the senior brother's place?"
"The master disliked me for being fussy and timid, so he wouldn't let me go."
Fuling smiled awkwardly. She didn't expect that such a cold and aloof girl was actually afraid of insects.
Hearing this, Jiang Wan explained, “I’m going to go fishing for crayfish in a couple of days.
If you are interested, come along."
“What are crayfish?”
Fuling really didn't know what this thing was, but when she heard that she was going to play it with Jiang Wan, she immediately became excited.
"Okay, I'll go."
"How dare you go there when you don't even know the crayfish."
Jiang Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, go back and prepare well."
After confirming the people who would be going this time, Jiang Wan confirmed the location with Song Jiuyuan.
Three days later, Jiang Wan and his companions left the city in a carriage.
Jiang Wan, Qi Chu, Fuling and Song Jiuli took a carriage, while Song Jiuyuan, Cheng Jin and Song Jiuchi chose to ride horses.
They were going to the Zimu River not far away, and they arrived at their destination when Jiang Wan and her friends finished eating a plate of candied fruit.
It was everyone's first time fishing for lobsters, so they all looked confused.
Jiang Wan waved her hand, and Qiu Niang brought the bamboo pole that Jiang Wan had made herself. Cheng Jin was a little suspicious.
"Jiang Wan, are you sure this thing can catch lobsters?"
"Why, you don't believe it?"
Jiang Wan knew that Cheng Jin's old illness had recurred, so she handed Song Jiuyuan a bamboo pole.
"Song Jiuyuan, do you believe me?"
"Of course I believe you."
Song Jiuyuan took the bamboo pole and said in a good mood: "Wanwan, can you teach me?"
"OK."
Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows at Cheng Jin, "How about we have a competition?"
"Is there any reward for winning?"
Qi Chu picked up a bamboo pole excitedly. She had never eaten lobster before, but she thought this was fun.
"The loser..."
Jiang Wan chuckled, "How about the loser buy me Li Ji's shortbread for a month? You can't let someone else do it for you."
People start lining up for Li Ji's shortbread at the hour of Mao every day, and there are a lot of people buying them.
Hearing this, Cheng Jin's eyes lit up, "What if I win? Can you make me three meals of crayfish?"
He still misses the taste.
Jiang Wan said generously: "Okay, whoever wins, I will make three meals of crayfish for him."
"Can you add me?"
The sound of horse hooves was heard not far away. It turned out to be Sheng Yi, who was carried off the carriage by Yinquan.
Although he didn't know what the crayfish they were talking about were, Sheng Yi wanted to try it.
"sure."
Jiang Wan did not refuse and distributed bamboo poles to everyone one by one. Fortunately, she had prepared a few extra ones when she was making them.
Now one for each of the eight of them is just right.
Jiang Wan, Song Jiuyuan, Song Jiuchi, Qi Chu, Cheng Jin, Fuling, Song Jiuli, Sheng Yi.
Seeing them sitting together in pairs, Song Jiuli realized belatedly that she and Sheng Yi seemed a little redundant.
"Sister Li, can we be companions?"
Sheng Yi raised his peach blossom eyes slightly, and Song Jiuli's depressed mood seemed to have improved a little.
"OK."
"Come, come, come."
Jiang Wan took out a small bucket, took out the pig liver from it and tied it to the cotton thread under the bamboo pole.
Cheng Jin wrinkled his nose in disdain, "What...what is this?"
“Pork liver.”
After Jiang Wan hung it up, she threw the bait directly into the river, then sat on a small bench and began to wait.
Cheng Jin looked skeptical, "Will this thing work? Or should we try something else?"
"Noisy."
Song Jiuyuan glanced at him calmly and said, "Be quiet and don't disturb me while I'm fishing for lobsters."
He was still thinking about Jiang Wan's three meals of crayfish.
Speaking of this, Cheng Jin also became interested, but he still disliked pig liver and asked the servant next to him to help him tie it.
"Hey, my bamboo pole seems to move."
Fuling pulled the rod hard in confusion, and everyone was stunned to see that there was indeed something on her bait.
"I'll go."
Cheng Jin was stunned. "It's really a blind cat catching a dead mouse."
"Shut up and put your mouth on me."
Fuling glared at Cheng Jin fiercely, but looked at Xiaolongxia with some confusion.
This thing...is it really edible?
She didn't dare to scratch it for fear of being bitten.
"Fuling, grab its back with your thumb and index finger, and it won't be able to bite you."
Jiang Wan spoke loudly to ensure that everyone could hear her.
The next second, her line straightened, and Jiang Wan pulled it hard and also caught a crayfish.
She swiftly grabbed the crayfish and threw it into the bucket that had been prepared long ago.
But Fuling was still a little scared.
Seeing this, Cheng Jin took action directly, "I didn't expect you to be afraid of this thing."
He threw the lobster caught by Fuling into the bucket at Fuling's feet.
"Don't get me wrong, I just don't want a delicate girl like you to queue up every day to buy shortbread for Jiang Wan."
