Liu Che is in a good mood. After taking the elixir in the past few days, his health has been particularly good. He seems to have regained his former glory. His most beloved concubine, Mrs. Gou Yi, and her son are playing in front of Liu Che. The child is very tall.
Quick, now he can stagger around, making the surrounding servants, maids, including Mrs. Gou Yi and Liu Che burst into laughter. Among the bustle in the entire hall, only Liu Ruyi stood silently in the corner, observing quietly.
all of these.
Since Su Ren left angrily last time, he has never been to Quan Tai Palace again. Liu Che didn't seem to care much about this, but when he heard that many people had been to Su's house, he still felt a little unhappy. From that moment on
At first, Liu Che seemed to regret forcing Su Ren back. Five years was indeed a short time. For someone like Su Ren to erase his influence from the court, five years might not be enough.
Dangli rushed into the hall like a gust of wind, almost hitting the walking child. Everyone was so surprised that they rushed forward. Mrs. Gouyi even exclaimed and almost fainted. But Dangli didn't seem to see these people.
He walked up to the emperor, bowed first, and then stood up and said: "Father, I don't want to go to the princess's mansion, I want to go to the Su family. There is no point in living in the cold princess's mansion. The Su family is full of people and lively people."
Mrs. Gou Yi hugged her son to her chest, suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, looked at the color of the emperor's face, put on a smile and said: "How can any of my royal daughters live in the minister's house? Not all...
"
"You have no place to speak here!" Before Mrs. Gou Yi could finish her words, Dangli glared at her fiercely.
The eldest princesses of the Han Dynasty are all strong, starting from Liu whoring, not to mention Chang Ping, and the Dangli in front of him has inherited the tradition of the Han Dynasty. Gou Yi is just a wife, even the concubines in the palace must be careful when meeting Dangli.
Serve, not to mention her, a woman that no one likes.
Liu Che frowned. He could have an affair with Su Ren and even beat Su Kang, but there was nothing he could do about his daughter. Dang Li was Liu Che's eldest daughter and Liu Che's first child. From the bottom of his heart,
He loved her very much. In the Su family for so many years, both Su Ren and Dong Qian regarded Dangli as their daughter. If Liu Che had not stopped her ruthlessly, Dangli would have followed Su Ren to Shu County five years ago.
"Okay!" Liu Che took Dang Li's hand and said, "The princess's mansion is still needed. It's not like a majestic princess without her own mansion. As for whether you can live there or not, that's your business."
"Father, did you promise me to go to Su's house?" Dangli immediately put on a smile, acting like a little girl.
Liu Che smiled helplessly: "Huh! What's so good about that boy from the Su family? He charmed you like this. Next time you see your father, you have to deal with that boy!"
"Ah! How can my father embarrass Su Kang?"
Liu Che looked at his daughter and suddenly wanted to understand one thing. As Dang Li said, even if he built the princess mansion as the place where Su Kang and Dang Li got married, no one would live in it in the future. Look at his daughter now.
It seemed like she was eager to go to Su's house.
Without waiting for Liu Che's answer, Dangli raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Che, and timidly said again: "Father, Mr. Su would like to invite you to go fishing on the Weishui River."
"fishing?"
Dangli nodded: "Su Hou said that he had practiced fishing skills in Shu County for five years, and it could be said that no one in the world could beat him. The boy was unhappy and made a bet with Su Hou, saying that his father was the master of the world and could do anything.
It's not a problem for my father, and Su Hou also promised that if my father wins, he will allow me to beat Su Kang when he bullies the children."
"Hahaha..." Liu Che laughed and stroked his daughter's head lovingly: "So, for my son's future happiness, my father must win against that Su Ren?"
"Father is the most powerful. Not to mention Su Hou, even all the people in the world combined are no match for Father!" The advantage lies in his obedience: "Father, just agree to it!"
How could Liu Che not understand the meaning of this? Fishing is naturally just a cover. The bet between Su Ren and Dang Li is a stepping stone for Liu Che. As for whether Dang Li will beat Su Kang or not, this can be seen from a young age. I think back then I
When his daughter was riding on Su Kang and beating him, Liu Che was still cheering and cheering for her.
Liu Che stopped laughing and said, "Go and tell Su Ren, my son, that my father will make him look good. He will be waiting by the Wei River tomorrow!"
The Wei River is the largest river in the Guanzhong Plain. It is blocked by the Qinling Mountains to the south and the Loess Plateau to the north. It is precisely because of the existence of the Wei River that the 800-mile Qinchuan River is fertile. For thousands of years, humans have cultivated beside the Wei River
, Emperor Yan, and Qin all rose from the Weishui River. If the Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation, then the Weishui River is the source of Chinese civilization.
Today's Wei River is no longer what it used to be. The river is getting wider and wider, and the ships sailing on it are getting bigger and bigger. Fishing here has become a dream of many Chang'an people for decades. Su Ren led people towards the Wei River early in the morning.
After wandering for thirty miles, I found a quiet place. I chose a location that looked good, made a nest, threw the hook, and waited. Everything was done in an orderly manner.
There were no fish in the Wei River, so even at noon, Su Ren didn't catch a single fish. However, Su Ren was still unhurried, wearing a huge bamboo hat, holding the fishing rod and quietly watching the fish floating on the water rippling back and forth in the water.
.The weather is good, it can be said to be sunny and windy, but it is a bit hotter here than the warm water, especially at noon, when the hot sun comes down directly and it hurts my back.
It was the hottest time of the day when Liu Che came. Liu Che did not bring a huge emperor's team, and only Liu Ruyi was beside Qing Yi Jian Cong, but everyone knew that there were countless terrifying people ambushed within ten miles. If
Even a fly would come in without Liu Che's instructions.
"Sit!" Su Ren licked his lips at the low stool next to him, and handed the kettle beside him to Liu Che: "Take a few sips first. I didn't expect that it would be late autumn soon, and Chang'an City would still be so sultry."
Liu Che was naturally not polite. He followed Su Ren's example and sat down, took a sip of something sour and sweet, grabbed the fishing rod on the side and threw it into the river. He turned to look at Su Ren's empty fish basket and curled his lips: "
He claims to be the best in fishing in the world, but why haven’t he caught a fish even after a long time?”
Su Ren smiled slightly: "It's about fishing, not about fish. How can you know the happiness in this?"
"Nonsense? Is it possible that you still want to imitate Jiang Shang?"
Su Ren shook his head: "I'm still young, and no one wants me as a fisherman in this situation. Even if I want to be Jiang Shang, I can't meet King Wen of Zhou."
Liu Che was convinced by Su Ren's words: "That's right! I haven't seen you for five years, and you really show signs of enlightenment."
Su Ren laughed loudly: "I've always been lazy. Now that I think about it, I didn't know what the reason was, and I was running around here and there. In the past five years, I have been accompanied by my old wife and children and grandchildren. I am really happy. I
You seem to be having a hard time."
"Hey...!" Liu Che let out a long sigh and suddenly raised his wrist. A large carp nearly a foot long swayed left and right at the end of the fishing rod, and it looked like the fishing rod was about to lose its support.
Su Ren quickly dropped his fishing rod, grabbed Liu Che's hand, put the carp back into the water, and started sliding the fish according to the changes in the fish's strength. The fishing rod Su Ren used was made of ordinary bamboo rods, but the fishing line was carefully crafted by Shi Manzhu
I don’t know what special method was used to make it. Let alone a foot-long carp, even a pig would not be able to break if it was caught by this thin thread.
After slipping for a quarter of an hour, the big carp was exhausted and then dragged to the shore. Liu Che laughed and said, "Look, you haven't caught one for most of the day. I've only been here for a while, and a big fish took the bait."
, everything in this world needs to be given a bit of thin noodles, hahaha..."
Su Ren smiled bitterly and sat back in his seat: "That's just because you're lucky." As he spoke, he felt his wrist sink, and a fish took the bait. Just like the action just now, he caught a one-foot-long fish without losing time.
carp.
Perhaps it was really God’s blessing, or perhaps it was because the weather was sultry and the fish began to move out. The first fish was followed by the second and third fish. Liu Che and Su Ren harvested one after another like a competition. Seeing the sky getting dark, Su Ren
Ren stood up and stretched: "Hey! I'm still getting old. After sitting for a while, my back hurts and my legs cramp."
Liu Che glared at Su Ren dissatisfied: "Are you still old? You are ten years younger than me. Your hair is still black now, and your face is the same as when I saw you forty years ago. If you look at me again, your hair has turned white.
More than black hair."
Su Ren smiled and said: "I have a method, do you want to use it?"
Liu Che immediately shook his head: "No! Your method is never a good one. It seems to be able to solve the temporary difficulties, but it is a pity that the consequences are endless. I have not done anything else in the past few years. I have only wanted to resume the things you have spared."
Return to the right path, but it’s a pity that we haven’t succeeded yet! Tell me the truth, are there really nothing those merchants can do?”
Su Ren looked up at the sky, thought for a while and shook his head: "Do you still remember what I told you in the backyard of my house when I left? At that time, I also invited Sima Qian, who was castrated by you, to come and testify."
Liu Che nodded. Su Ren said: "That is true and true. Over the years, His Majesty has reduced the agricultural tax to a dispensable level. Haven't you clearly seen the role of merchants in this?"
"It's precisely because I can see clearly that I'm afraid!"
Su Ren smiled and said: "One more thing to say to you: the people are the center, the country is the second, and the king is the least!"
Without waiting for Liu Che to answer, Su Ren grabbed the small stool and fish basket next to him, picked up the fishing rod and walked back, shouting as he walked: "I will marry Su Kang and Dangli in one month, at my home, Your Majesty.
Those two clowns, stop it! Otherwise I will kill them!" The last few words seemed so light that they had no weight at all, but they made Liu Ruyi on the side break into a cold sweat.
