If you're not good at striking up conversations, you don't have to!
After Jin Huihuang finished speaking, everyone fell even more silent.
Lord Su thought he had become quite calm after experiencing so many ups and downs, but he never expected that this wealthy middle-aged man could still easily provoke him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? My little chick is the cutest!"
Lord Su, with a fierce expression, was determined to make the other party admit that Qiuqiu was the cutest.
"That's not quite right..."
Although Jin Huihuang came to make friends, there were some things he wanted to fight for. His son wasn't ugly...
"Actually, I think my son is pretty good."
No, that won't work.
Your son has a sharp tongue!
Lord Su was slightly taken aback. Did Qiuqiu know this man's son?
Who is your son?
"The Year of the Golden Phoenix!"
"I don't know him."
Jin Huihuang chuckled dryly: "We can get to know him. He's going to take the imperial examination. He's a promising person."
[Quite successful, and looks very wealthy!]
She was genuinely envious!
Money isn't always everything.
"But you absolutely can't do without money!"
But you absolutely can't do without money!
Lord Su: “???”
The task of educating Chiu Chiu is arduous and has a long way to go!
Jin Huihuang regretted his words as soon as he said them. These officials didn't like businessmen making profits. He had made a mistake!
He immediately changed his tune, saying, "The old man is right; having money also has its troubles."
Over the years, Lord Su has seen all sorts of people. He could tell that Jin Huihuang was intentionally getting close to him, but he could also tell that this man wasn't very bright.
How did such a person manage to be so wealthy without being swindled out of all their assets?
If Qiuqiu knew her grandfather's doubts, she would definitely tell him that there are some people in this world who are born to be favored by the God of Wealth. The King of England is one, and the current Jin family father and son are also one.
The Jin family father and son may not have pure motives, but they are not bad people; at most, they are just a bit glib.
Chiu Chiu was very interested in Jin Huihuang and kept staring at him. Even someone as shameless as Jin Huihuang felt a little embarrassed.
"that……"
Let's go together.
Old Marquis Su interrupted Jin Huihuang before speaking further, saying, "If this person runs away, who will his granddaughter be observing?"
"Huh?" Jin Huihuang was slightly taken aback, then realized what he meant, "Okay, okay!"
The ease with which this was achieved seemed almost unbelievable to him. Did that mean his men stationed underwater wouldn't need to bait their hooks?
These four old guys are serious about fishing; although they barely caught anything, their attitude was absolutely top-notch.
Old Marquis Su felt different today. He brought Qiuqiu along, and with Qiuqiu's good luck, she was sure to leave with a full load!
"Old Su, how can you catch fish like that?"
In the blink of an eye, General Zhang turned around and saw his old friend had already tied his chubby granddaughter to his chest.
Look at this weight...
"Even if you can't catch fish, you shouldn't use children as bait, especially since fish don't eat people."
Lord Su wasn't angry. "Hmph, don't be so naive. This is my secret weapon!"
"Chirp chirp, let's show them what you're made of today!"
He leaned close to Qiuqiu's ear and whispered to her, "If I catch a fish today, Grandpa will make you an extra bowl of porridge when we get home."
Chiu Chiu raised her right hand high, her thumb and forefinger forming a circle, the other three fingers sticking out so high they almost touched Grandpa's nostrils...
【Okay, okay, no problem!】
Lord Su opened Qiuqiu's hand and pressed his own large hand on it, "Deal!"
After receiving permission, Jin Huihuang had his butler move his deck chair to their vicinity, but his purpose was not to fish but to attract people; he was just waiting for them to catch a fish so he could clap his hands loudly.
The shimmering water looked even more dazzling under the sunlight.
Anyone who's passionate about fishing knows that fish are hard to catch and require patience. Today, the group's patience was almost exhausted, and they still hadn't caught a fish.
Although the four old men claimed that there were no fish in the capital, they were not so badly unable to catch even small fish fry.
"Is the fish food spoiled?"
"Don't talk nonsense, fish food can't be bad."
"Didn't you pour enough? Go, go, go, bring the rest of the boxes."
Even someone as wealthy as Jin Huihuang would feel the pinch if he poured box after box of fish food into the river.
Didn't they consider that this was due to human factors?
He knew this little girl was no ordinary person just from that powerful strike from the carp. She's certainly not someone fish like!
Chirp chirped and stared intently at the water's surface, while the fish below munched on their food, ignoring the hook completely.
[Little fish, eat, eat, take the bait!]
Chirp puffs out her round face and blows air onto the water. A gentle breeze creates ripples, and even the slightest ripple makes Chirp laugh so hard her eyes disappear.
Hehe, little fish, come with me! I'm Chiu Chiu!
Lord Su remained seated, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Staring intently at the water's surface, a whirlpool suddenly appeared on the previously calm river, the water in the center spinning rapidly. Jin Huihuang suddenly jumped up: "Whirlpool!"
Fish shadows could be seen swimming in the middle of the whirlpool, and suddenly a golden koi leaped out from the middle, shimmering with a unique brilliance under the sunlight.
[Lucky Koi!]
How can there be koi fish here!
Chirping was excited and struggled to rush towards the water. Old Marquis Su, fearing she would fall in, pulled her back a few steps, saying, "Be careful."
Be careful, that's a lucky koi!
[Catch it, take it home, and raise it; good luck will come your way!]
If she said that, even the old Marquis Su wouldn't be able to sit still.
The koi leaped up and then fell back down, and then several swimmers jumped out of the water again, but this time they could clearly see the koi's dead fish eyes...
It looks down on me! Grandpa, catch it!
The koi carp, which has not yet become sentient, has lived in this river for an unknown amount of time, but it has already developed a bit of spirituality and is able to sense the good and evil of humans.
These people meant it no harm, but it just inexplicably disliked that little brat!
As the koi swam closer, Old Master Su settled Qiuqiu in a safe place and slowly approached the river with a net, waiting to scoop up the koi that his granddaughter had been longing for.
He bent over, and the koi leaped out of the water again. Just as he was about to get close, the koi slapped his face with its tail.
It really hurts!
This time, however, the koi carp disappeared without a trace after entering the water.
He turned around with a bitter expression: "Chirp chirp, didn't catch it."
Chou Chou, who was being held down by General Zhang while lying on the shore, strained to stick her head out, [Grandpa, you have to make it big!]
hair?
Old Marquis Su raised his hand to touch his left cheek, which was still throbbing from the beating. "How do I make it rise? Do I make it rise like a steamed bun?"
Jin Huihuang waited so long only to end up in an awkward situation, but he is a person who is good at seizing opportunities.
His eyes lit up: "Grandpa, the koi fish brings good fortune! Your family is about to have a joyous occasion!"
Old Master Su rubbed his left cheek and, thinking of his second grandson taking the imperial examination, burst into laughter: "I'm grateful for your good fortune. If my grandson passes the exam, I'll invite you to my home for a drink."
"That's my honor, your grandson...your grandson is also participating in the scientific expedition?"
