His parents would coax him every now and then. As for Sir, he had to coax her from time to time, and now that he had a cousin to coax, she was still a cousin. If this were his own younger brother (she didn't know for sure that he wouldn't have one in this life), Wei Zhao would feel that he could go crazy.
After talking about this after returning to the Du Family, Boss Du burst into laughter, "You guys can't possibly fish for shrimp all day, can't you fish for shrimp in the morning and go to the Ji Family to listen to a play in the afternoon?"
Wei Zhao dragged his cheeks with a frown on his face. "We'll see about that later …"
As it turned out, she had a foresight.
Early in the morning, Mr. Qian came to the door with Mr. Wang too often, and the two old men spoke in unison, "Didn't we agree to go fishing for shrimp today?"
Boss Du: & … "$…" &% $* @
Dusu: Heh heh … I have never heard of it (which is what I thought, that she would only dare to smile openly, that the husband of a child should be treated with more respect than his in-laws).
Wei Zhao: "Sorry."
The two old men embarrassedly snuck into the Du Family's breakfast, then thought that Xue Qianyun had come too late, "Go early, the shrimp fishing is a skill book, you don't have the ability to put so much effort into it …"
Boss Du lowered his head to rearrange the fishing tackle for the two old men. The two of them had come with arms over their heads, so they had already bickered quite a bit along the way.
Wang Taichang said, "Hey, why aren't you wearing yesterday's new summer jacket?" Keeping it hidden isn't like you, Little Qian? "
Mr. Qian said, "When I go to the river today, I will inevitably get wet and dirty. My clothes are Wei Zhao's mother's intentions. Although she doesn't care about this, it's still disrespectful to be dirty …" Although the words sounded serious, but when Wang Taizhuang heard it, he just wanted to get into his jute bag and beat him up.
This was only the beginning of the story. Today, Xue Li Yun wanted to come to the Du Family to play, and this was the first time in many years that he said he wanted to be a guest in front of Lady Xue.
As a result, Mrs. Xue left her family affairs and came to the Du Family with Xue Qianyun.
Eldest Brother Du could only make Lady Xue and Du Su's fishing tackle again.
It was fortunate that the Du Family didn't have too many disciples and that they had sufficient resources.
The prawns in the river had just grown to a good level. At this moment, the rain was not heavy, and the flowing river was neither fast nor slow. It was good to fish for prawns.
However, fishing for prawns here was not as simple as going to the fishing for prawns in the future.
Big Bro Du didn't fish, he was in charge of baiting, baiting some of the water that he used as bait, and so on. Wang Taichang was the oldest, he was first, Mister Qian was second, and Xue Kangyun was third.
"Cousin, I don't know how to." Showing off without the slightest bit of shyness.
Wei Zhao had no choice but to put down his fishing rod and accompany him.
The two youngsters huddled together, talking. Wei Zhao actually didn't have much experience in the field of shrimp fishing. Normally, her father would come over to take the bait, so she just sat there, but Xue Qianyun would ask, which made Wei Zhao a good teacher.
After a while, Xue Shuiyun whispered, "Cousin, I think the fishing rod has sunk."
Wei Zhao hurriedly pulled, but didn't pull.
Boss Du saw Wei Zhao as soon as he stood up and hurried over, "What a guy, you actually caught a big one." He took the fishing rod and somehow managed to throw a large catfish onto the grass.
In the beginning, it was quite smart, knowing that it was bait, it swallowed it without even taking a bite. However, in the end, its greedy nature was exposed, and it couldn't bear to part with the last bit of bait, so it was caught.
Xue Chaoyun and Wei Zhao were extremely happy, and the rest of the people came over to take a look as well.
Du Su's wife quickly used a net and placed the fish into a bucket of water, "This brother got lucky fishing for a big fish the first time. I don't think we need to eat this fish, take it back and let me play with it."
Lady Xue's smile was incomparably brilliant. "Then I'll really take it back. Cousin, don't laugh at me."
After a long day of fishing, Xue Qianyun and Wei Zhao fished a lot, and Wang Taizhuang often hung onto the back of Mr. Qian's cart, while Lady Xue simply accompanied her son from behind. When Dusu came home, he took a few more buckets and separated them from the ones carrying the prawns so that they wouldn't be eaten by the fish.
The adults and the two children were tired, and there was still a lot of food left in the basin.
Boss Du scooped up a few ladles of water, stirred them, and then slowly sprinkled them downstream.
Mr. Qian and Wang Taichang had already returned, and Xue Chaoyun was about to leave when Wei Zhao stopped them, "Wait a moment."
After a while, the number of fish and prawns in the river began to increase, slowly gathering towards the place where there were plenty of fodder.
Wei Zhao hurriedly ran to Boss Du's side. "Dad, I want it, I'll get it."
Big Boss Du carried her, and Wei Zhao grabbed a net bag. He'd fished out at least twenty large prawns and a few small fishes in one go.
Xue Xianyun was also hugged and tried it out, and was extremely happy, "Thank you, Uncle."
Boss Du scooped two more bags before stopping.
"Cousin, if only the net was a little tighter, many of the shrimps would have fallen out of their pockets."
Wei Zhao held his hand and lectured like a teacher, "The fish and prawns are too small for us to eat. We might as well let them continue growing in the water. Don't you think those that can be held are all very big?"
Xue Xianyun nodded, "Cousin, you're quite knowledgeable."
Wei Zhao nodded, "It was all taught to me by my father."
Boss Du: I'm ashamed of myself. Hehe, hehe.
Even though the Human King was too often nearing eighty, his appetite was still as wild and unrestrained as before. When he was full and drunk, he relied on Mr. Qian to slowly walk back and eat.
Lady Xue carefully carried the bucket filled with catfish back to the house. Compared to the capital, this house was like heaven and earth. There was no place for Lady Xue to release her fighting experience.
"I can't complain about that hundred year old Ondoo in the countryside. Look at his life, then look at our residence, which family's house in Shang Jing City is it? It's not that you're disgusted, but I'm disgusted with you. I won't ask for anyone else, just watching my brother get better, and every day is happy. My heart is even more relaxed than if I ate a Tianshan Snow Lotus …"
Her wet nurse had come a few days ago to deliver the monthly orders, but she had stayed for a few days and hadn't left yet.
"Yes, perhaps brother will stay in front of madam all day, but madam doesn't think much of it. But if you tell this old servant to look, brother is truly different. This old servant can't tell you, but it's as if the poplar tree has grown green leaves all day, and I can see that it's lively …"
Lady Xue laughed proudly. "I've long seen it. Mother, why don't you stick your eyes on him? What's wrong with him? How can I not know?"
The wet nurse added, "That's not right. I've always felt wronged for Eldest Young Master. No matter what, Madame's energy should be divided in half to Eldest Young Master."
"I knew you were laughing at me," Lady Xue laughed and slapped her on the face, "I knew you were laughing at me. I had a good impression of my boss, and gave him a wife, and as a result, I was wronged in the womb," her face became more and more fierce, "If it weren't for the fact that the child was still young, I wouldn't have let those disgusting things stay in the clan."
Lady Xue had never been at a disadvantage. When the wet nurse saw that Han Yunxi had started talking again, she quickly changed the topic. In the end, she had served her for so many years, so she knew what kind of topic to start on to make Lady Xue happy.
"I heard that the two beauties from the Ministry of Rites found out that they were pregnant recently. His Majesty was very happy and wanted to pardon the world, but he was still persuaded by the Grand Preceptor and said it wouldn't be too late to celebrate when the imperial heir falls."
When Lady Xue heard this, she hurriedly clasped her hands and bowed to him. With His Majesty's heirs, it was definitely something to be happy about.
After saluting, Madam Xue's expression calmed down. She asked faintly, "The little sister of Third Master's wife and uncle over at the Second Branch isn't the legitimate son of the Minister of Rites. Are they pleased with themselves now?"
The wet nurse laughed. "Of course, I was overjoyed. I heard that anyone who goes to the Second Branch Estate for the next few days will be able to get a reward."
Just as she finished, Mei Xiang came in and reported, "Madam has reported."
"Bring it here," Lady Xue said coldly.
Since Ping County and Yan City were very close to each other, this period's report was sent out. However, after a few hours, Ping County received it, and the wet nurse had a hunch that her own wife might not be too happy about the news.
After she finished reading the newspaper, Lady Xue smiled mockingly. "I'm too happy. The decree of bestowal hasn't come yet."
According to tradition, if the concubine was pregnant, the mother would definitely receive a reward. However, both beauties were gifted by the Ministry of Rites, and even if they were, they would first reward the Minister of Rites. Right now, the newspaper only said that the concubine was pregnant, nothing else.
"The Grand Preceptor truly thinks for our country …"
Whether it was a direct or indirect blow, the ones that could hit their nemesis were their friends.
It was no sooner for Mr. Qian and Mrs. Xue to have the residence than it was for Mr. Qian and Mrs. Xue.
Wang too often looked at it, and Mr. Qian was once again holding it in his hand, carefully looking at it word by word. After a moment, he asked the silent man next to him, "What do you think?"
Although Emperor Qing He didn't directly say to them that he couldn't do it, seeing how serious he was towards Wei Zhao wasn't because of his attitude towards the princess, but rather because of the importance he placed on her.
Mister Qian was thinking far too much. If he really misdiagnosed that a beauty could conceive, then Wei Zhao's position would be awkward. The emperor's heirs were not numerous, and Wei Zhao was the king's seed of debauchery. Sigh …
"Don't worry, I'll go back and take a look." I'll let you know if there's any news. No matter what, I should be happy to have a son. " Wang Taichang said as he knocked on the table.
Mister Qian leered at him, "What's the rush? I'm very happy."
"Enough, I'm already this old, and you still want me to come with you?" "Aren't you just worried that Wei Zhao's position will be awkward? Let me tell you, I like this little girl too."
Mister Qian thought in his heart. Naturally, the fence-sitter was the strong one and the weak one.
Wang Taichang was very clear on what was going on, and knew what Mr. Qian was thinking. He slapped the table and said, "What I said was the truth."
Mr. Qian nodded. That's right, he was sincere for once, not in this life.
