It's probably just a coincidence.
Prince Su fishes all year round. As an old fishing enthusiast, he has seen this kind of situation before.
Generally speaking, when you are a novice, it is not uncommon to catch fish without knowing why. However, once you become proficient and learn the real skills, the number of times you catch fish without knowing why may decrease.
Therefore, Prince Su did not take this scene to heart.
In his opinion, doing it occasionally is not a real skill.
However, Xiao Luzi and Xing Yucheng on the side were a little surprised. They hadn't even turned the page of the book in their hands, but His Highness had taken the bait so quickly?
Xiao Luzi and Xing Yucheng originally wanted to help, but they saw Ye Shuo easily remove the hook by himself, and then put the one-pound fish into the wooden barrel.
The fish struggled a few times, but when it saw it couldn't get free, it quickly gave up.
"I'll give you a snack when we get back tonight." Ye Shuo said as he put bait on the fishhook again.
Ancient times were different from modern times. There were few pollution problems in ancient times, especially in the royal gardens, which were well protected. Therefore, although the carp in the lake have many spines, the water quality is good, so the fish raised here are particularly plump. You can tell that the carp meat is good just by looking at it, and it must taste great when you eat it.
"By the way, I remember your father is here too, right? I'll bring you two when I go back tonight."
In his previous life, Ye Shuo often followed the friends mentioned by Mr. Gu to drive to reservoirs and mountains all over the country to go fishing in the wild and the sea. Ye Shuo and two of them were considered good fishermen. Unless they were particularly unlucky, they often could not eat all the fish they caught. They could take them to the market to sell them. They were not short of money, so there was no need.
They go fishing mainly for fun. After a day's fishing, they will release most of the fish and share the remaining ones with whoever they meet. After all... not everyone in a team can catch fish successfully. Well, strictly speaking, except for the three of them who never catch anything, the others almost always catch nothing. The contrast is so terrible that others have always suspected that the three of them hired divers in advance to squat in the water and hook fish on their hooks.
Otherwise, the hook-up rate is unscientific.
The water is the same, the place is the same, even the formula of the bait is the same. The best among the three had long been forced to hand over the exclusive formula, but for some reason, only the three of them could do it, while the others just couldn't catch any fish.
Some of them refused to believe it and thought they had chosen the wrong place, and insisted on switching places with them. After Ye Shuo and the other two were forced to switch places, for some reason, the fish that had been biting the hook suddenly became quiet, making those people almost vomit blood.
Ye Shuo could catch nearly 100 kilograms of fish in four hours, and it was not uncommon for him to catch two fish in a row or two on one rod. However, that was in an artificial fishing ground, and the fish were relatively large, each weighing more than two or three kilograms. The quality of the fishing rods and hooks was also incomparable.
The fish density in the lake in front of him was probably enough, but the quality of the fishing rods was far from enough. If he used separate rods, the strength of the fishing line would probably not be enough. So he didn't want to catch two or three fish with one rod. Ye Shuo could only fish one by one.
After Ye Shuo finished fishing, he habitually shared the fish with everyone, so he casually said this.
Xing Yucheng didn't feel anything, and even felt a little touched. After all, His Highness was still thinking about him at this time.
Although His Highness was not very serious, he had nothing to say about him and Xiao Luzi. Otherwise, Xing Yucheng's first reaction when he felt that his future was uncertain would not be to study instead of running away or giving up.
Xing Yucheng didn't think much about it and thanked him directly: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness."
However, this scene made Prince Su standing by feel both amused and confused.
A seven or eight-year-old child spoke so arrogantly, and more importantly, other people actually took it seriously. Prince Su couldn't help but find it a little funny.
Fishing is not that simple. If you catch the first fish, you will definitely catch the second one.
There are countless people who had high hopes but ended up being disappointed.
Things are still uncertain, he even arranged for family members to be his study companions. This kid is really arrogant, and his personality is exactly the same as the rumors say... huh???
Prince Su has always been taciturn and solitary, and he doesn't interact much with his nephews, so he had no intention of talking to Ye Shuo at the beginning.
Seeing that the kid was fishing there seriously, it didn't seem like he was just fishing on a whim. It didn't seem like he was just playing around. Prince Su was excited to see the prey, so he thought of giving him a few reminders and planned to teach him some fishing skills. After all, this was the only nephew Prince Su had ever met who had the same hobby as him.
Prince Su has been fishing for many years. Although he cannot say that he is the best in the world, at least he can be called an "expert".
He took a look into his bucket and saw two carp swimming happily inside. Just as Prince Su was about to speak, he discovered that his nephew's fish float had moved again.
Prince Su was obviously stunned for a moment.
Noticing the movement, Ye Shuo reeled in the club again.
This time was the same as last time, also a carp weighing more than one kilogram.
Ye Shuo put it into the bucket with a calm expression.
Prince Su was silent for a moment, then looked away.
Prince Su felt that it was time to speed up the process. After all, he had only caught two fish in the whole morning and noon.
Perhaps it was the nephew's actions that stimulated Prince Su. Although Prince Su had no intention of talking to him, he still unconsciously paid a lot of attention to him.
In this way, for the entire afternoon, Prince Su watched Ye Shuo catch fish and fish and fish non-stop. He could catch at least seven or eight fish every half hour. The four buckets he brought were not enough to hold them and were full in a short while.
Then Prince Su saw him pick and choose again, throwing fish into the water, throwing fish, throwing fish, throwing fish. He didn't want the ones that were too small, too big, ugly, with fish eggs in their bellies, or too skinny... Despite this, his four buckets were never empty.
What Prince Su could not accept the most was that, perhaps because he felt it was boring, his nephew simply put away the fishing rod, broke off a willow branch from the willow tree, and then shook it over the water. Just when Prince Su could not help frowning, he saw a fish suddenly jump out of the water and was caught by his nephew's quick eyes and hands.
Prince Su: “…………”
Prince Su exerted force suddenly and almost broke the fishing rod in his hand, which he usually treated as a treasure.
“It jumps so high and is so motivated. It looks delicious at first glance... It’s decided! It’s you!” So when it comes to being a person, no, when it comes to cooking fish, you must not be so outstanding. Otherwise, the first bird to stick its head out will be shot at. Without absolute strength, there will be no good results.
Ye Shuo picked out a fish from the bucket and threw it away. He then tied the one he had just caught into a bow with a willow branch and kept it as a mark, preparing to leave it for his mother to eat in the evening.
After everything was settled, Ye Shuo looked at the brilliant sunset in the distance and the sparkling water, then looked at the four full buckets under his feet. After a long while, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Few people come to fish in the royal gardens. Those who can come here to fish are not ordinary people. There are not many people in the whole Zhou who are qualified. For fear of spoiling the interest of the nobles, people feed the fish every day, and the fish have been fed silly.
Ye Shuo felt that when he was a child, fishing for goldfish in the park was more difficult than this.
"Oh... it's really boring..."
Hearing these words suddenly, and looking at the five little fish in his bucket, Prince Su couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He gave two of the buckets to Xing Yucheng and told him to do with them as he pleased. The remaining buckets were given to Ye Shuo and Xiao Luzi, each with one. They were going to take them back and kill two fish to eat first, and have the rest kept in the small kitchen and eaten later.
Things that are not challenging are naturally not interesting, so Ye Shuo was naturally not very interested.
When passing by Prince Su, the disappointment on his face hurt his eyes.
On the way back to Xiangjingzhai, Ye Shuo happened to meet Prince Jin who was out for a walk.
Although he had only met King Jin once, the two of them got along quite well at the time, so Ye Shuo asked him if he wanted to eat fish.
"This... let's forget it..." Prince Jin has eaten too much fish in recent years, and now he feels nauseous at the sight of fish, so he waved his hands repeatedly.
Ye Shuo didn't force him. After chatting with him for a few more words, he took Xiao Luzi away.
During the whole process, Ye Shuo's attitude was very natural, as if they were good friends who had known each other for many years. After Ye Shuo had left for a long time, King Jin finally realized that he had just met this nephew once.
Hey! This guy is really interesting.
King Jin knew King Su's preferences, and soon found him at the old place. Having just seen his nephew's fishing rod and the two buckets of fish he carried, King Jin subconsciously asked, "How's it going? Was the catch good today?"
Prince Jin didn't think so much. In his opinion, if a child could return with a full load, Prince Su, who was an expert at this, would surely burst all the buckets he brought today.
"Huh? Why aren't you talking?"
Seeing that his master hadn't received a response for a long time and was still asking questions, the accompanying eunuch couldn't help but reach out and tug at his master's sleeve.
Finally receiving some information, King Jin read on belatedly.
When he saw the five pitiful little fish in the bucket, King Jin blurted out: "Why have you changed your ways? Why did you let all these fish go?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Su, whose already unhappy complexion, turned green.
etc.
That's not right. King Jin doesn't remember that he had this habit. He always took whatever he caught and never refused anyone.
This time he finally reacted, and King Jin couldn't help but burst into laughter.
It was so sudden and the noise was so loud that a large number of birds that were temporarily resting on the willow trees were scared away. The guards and palace servants passing by could not help but look over.
Prince Su: “…”
The other side.
As it was already evening, the sun was not as scorching as it was at noon, so the ladies from various palaces began to come out to stroll around the gardens.
The guards were patrolling constantly around, and the ministers consciously avoided this time period. Occasionally, one or two of them passed by and saw the concubines there, and they avoided them from a distance.
Ye Shuo, carrying two buckets of fish, was too conspicuous to hide, so almost everyone knew that he was going fishing in the afternoon.
It’s okay, as long as my cheap dad doesn’t know about it.
Ye Shuo couldn't help but pray like this.
However, sometimes, the more people fear something, the more likely it is to happen.
Emperor Jingwen never imagined that after he had finally finished dealing with state affairs and came out to relax, he would coincidentally run into his son who kept saying that he was almost exhausted to death.
Now the little bastard is full of energy, how can he not look tired at all?
At both ends of the road, under the shade of trees, a father and son stood facing each other, their eyes meeting, and their expressions changed to varying degrees.
As for the woman following Emperor Jingwen, she was a little curious. Could it be that this woman... was the legendary Ninth Prince?
