The sun is very warm.
The school captain drove a carriage and took Lin Linyou and the four of them through Liren Street and along Sanshan Street to Sanshan Gate. After exiting Sanshan Gate, they went north along the Qinhuai River. After walking for a short time, they saw a large lake with blue waves. The waves are called Mochou Lake.
The carriage slowly stopped by the Mochou Lake. Lin Linyou and four others got out of the carriage. A man and a horse were standing by the lake, waiting. The horse was a sweaty horse, swaying its tail and grazing leisurely; the man was also dressed in red, wearing Yan Xian is wearing a python robe with two sleeves, a gold and jade net scarf on his head, a thick beard and a long beard, and two knives, one long and one short, on his waist. The elder is embroidering spring, and the short is pressing clothes. He is Li Chun of the Qianhu of Jinyiwei.
Zhang Bi and Lin Linyou took the lead to step forward and salute Li Chun.
Li Chun slightly raised his hand in return, pointed to a lake boat parked by the lake, and said with a smile: "Duck prophet, the water in the Spring River is warm, it is just when the puffer fish are about to come up, the weather is warm and clear, and they suddenly come. I wonder if you two would like to join me." Let’s go boating on the lake together and share the joy of fishing and woodworking?”
Zhang Bi also smiled and said: "It is a blessing for Mr. Lin and I to have Mr. Qianhu welcome you! It is truly a blessing to be able to accompany Mr. Qianhu to fish and to be a fisherman!"
Lin Lin thought to himself, "Old guy, we're both here, and you still ask if you're willing. Aren't you talking nonsense?" The eldest brother is so flattering that it doesn't matter whether the idiom is used correctly or not, as long as the other person feels comfortable listening to it!
But there was also a smile on his face: "Yes! I am an official of Lord Baihu, otherwise I, a little general, would be so virtuous and incompetent that I would dare to fish with Lord Qianhu!"
That’s fine, let’s go fishing! Later generations of Eunuch Wei also liked it and treated it as a rehearsal.
Seeing that Li Chun was very pleased with what he heard, he laughed twice, raised his hand and said: "Please! Get on the boat!"
Zhang Ben bowed: "Master Li, please go first."
When Li Chun got on the gangplank, Lin Linyou quickly waved to Yue Rong and Lin Long to come closer, and led them to follow Zhang Bi and board the lake boat.
The captain stood behind him, put away the gangplank, sat at the stern of the boat, and directed the boatman to push the boat away from the shore and into deep water. The boatman lowered the long pole and worked hard to raise the oar with another boatman.
Lake boats were first popular in the West Lake of Hangzhou and were quite famous as early as the Song Dynasty. At that time, the large lake boats were about ten feet long and could accommodate forty or fifty people; the smaller ones were four or five feet long and could accommodate twenty or thirty people.
Li Chun's boat is estimated to be about four feet long.
There were many types of boats in the Ming Dynasty, and the lake boats were slightly smaller than those made in the Song Dynasty, but they were more ornately decorated and had wide sills for easy viewing.
Famous lake boats at that time included "Shuiyue Tower", "Wangji on Lakes and Mountains", "Floating House on Smoke and Water" and so on.
Taking this kind of lake boat, as the name suggests, is the most suitable for traveling on the lake.
Lin Linyou did take a boat ride across the West Lake when he was in the West Lake, but the boat he rode in should not be called a boat, but a small boat. It was nowhere near as big and luxurious as the one he takes now.
Although the boat is small, it is not cheap. The price per person per hour is 100 oceans. That was the price a few years ago. I heard that it has now increased to 150 oceans. However, the boatman's virtue has not changed, as if he was rushing to reincarnate. It was said that he had been sitting for an hour, and he came back in a circle in two "swish"s. Except for two water ducks and a few snails, Lin Linyou didn't look at anything.
"This boat is great! Beautiful!" Lin Linyou couldn't help but admired being in this luxurious cruise ship. "I think taking this boat for a night cruise on the lake will have a unique flavor, especially at night in late summer and early autumn. , entering the lake at night, drifting with the waves, as faint as a lotus leaf. The moon is bright, the water is clear, and the dew is falling. I play a cave flute among the reeds, and the mountains and valleys echo. The listener feels cold and has the thought of leaving the world. "
I closed my eyes and couldn't help but feel intoxicated: "It is said that when you are drunk, you don't know the sky is in the water. A boat full of clear dreams overwhelms the stars. You can imagine the beauty of the moment."
Li Chun, who was playing with the fishing rod at the bow of the boat, heard this and turned around to continue: "You can't tell that Mr. Lin Qi actually has poems and books in his belly. He has such an elegant taste!"
"Thank you, Lord Qianhu." Lin Linyou said, he was originally showing off to Yue Rong.
"My boat has a name, it's called 'Yanbo Fishing Raft'." Li Chun turned around and looked at the lake. "It's just a small fishing boat. If you two want to go out on the lake at night, just borrow it." .”
Zhang Bi stepped forward and straightened the fishing line together: "Well, thank you, Master Qianhu!" Lin Linyou was busy looking at the boat, but Zhang Bi secretly looked at the two boatmen with his eyes. The tendons, especially the arms, and the brachialis muscles are bulging, making them look like living unicorn arms!
If you just punt an ordinary boat, you won't be able to develop such strong arm muscles as steel. Even if an ordinary boatman has muscles and cannot keep up with the food, he will still be thin. It is said that the poor are rich in culture and martial arts, and martial arts training requires financial support. , only when you have meat to eat, and only when you eat meat can your body grow meat. As the saying goes, the economic foundation determines the muscles in the body...
Even today's Jinyiwei people with "tiger arms, wasp waist, and mantis legs" rarely have such arms. These two guys might even be Jin Yiwei. At least, they are definitely from the Lian family!
Originally! If you think about it, you know that Li Chun would never take them out fishing for no reason.
We will never take them out without arranging someone to protect them.
Perhaps, it was the two of them that Li Chun wanted to catch...
Li Chun had already arranged the fishing line, which was actually made of fine silk. The fishing rod was also made of purple bamboo, and there was a hand-cranked wheel at the root with only the fishing line wrapped around it. It was no different from a modern fishing rod.
The difference is probably that the buoys are made of peacock feathers, the baits are earthworms, grass blades, bugs, and flour dumplings; the fish protection is a fish basket with a narrow mouth and a fat belly.
Zhang Bi and Li Chun sat on the bow of the boat and threw down the pole. Perhaps they were afraid of startling the fish, so both of them remained silent at the moment.
The Peacock Feather Buoy is also quiet, eerily quiet.
There are tables and chairs in the cabin, as well as tea, wine and cakes and fruits.
Since he was out to play, Lin Linyou didn't want to wrong his little sister and Yue Rong. Seeing them standing stiffly, he motioned for them to sit down and grabbed an apple on the table - the big one was called Ping Po at the time. The fruit, the little one was named Lin Jiao - started to bite it and looked at Yue Rong Lin Long, meaning they would eat it too, you're welcome, if anything happens, big brother will take care of it.
Biting an apple and looking at the backs of Li Chun and Zhang Ben, Li Chun said in a calm voice: "Why don't Mr. Lin come over to fish together?"
"Haha." Lin Linyou bit the apple, walked closer, and said respectfully: "Back to Qianhu, I don't know how to fish."
"Mr. Lin's excuse is good." Li Chun looked at Zhang Bi with a smile, "How do you say that poem? A childish child with unkempt hair..."
"The unkempt child learns fishing." Lin Linyou took the initiative to answer.
"That's right! A six-year-old can do it, but you can't?" Li Chun then turned back to look at Lin Linyou.
Lin Linyou saw a hint of intimidation in his eyes. Perhaps this intimidation was not caused by him, but by the ordinary expression of a high-ranking military attache like Li Chun.
It can’t be said that an eagle looks down upon a wolf, but it definitely shows the ruthlessness of a wolf!
This look was seen by Lin Linyou’s original owner in the eyes of Mobei Lang at the border gate, Lin Linyou himself saw it in the eyes of the superior director of the company, and also in the eyes of the dog barking at passers-by at the door of his home. Pass……
Li Chun stopped looking at him and looked at the buoy on the lake: "Fishing is probably the simplest thing in the world. Just throw in the bait and the rest is just waiting for the fish to take the bait."
"I'm just afraid that the fish won't take the bait." Lin Linyou smiled and took a bite of the apple, "In a humble position, I've always been a very impatient person..."
"What kind of bait, what kind of fish to catch." Li Chun faced the lake, and stretched out his left hand towards Lin Linyou without holding the fishing rod: "Give me the Ping Po in your hand."
Lin Linyou didn't know why, but he instinctively stood at attention like a reflex, held the apple he had bitten off most of with both hands, bowed and placed it in Li Chun's palm.
Li Chun retracted his hand, took another purple bamboo fishing rod, hung an apple on the hook, still facing the lake, raised the fishing rod: "What kind of bait can catch what kind of fish? The fish will not take the bait." , it means that your bait is not fragrant enough, or it is fragrant enough but not to its taste.”
After finishing speaking, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Lin Linyou.
As if he had just come to his senses, Lin Linyou quickly took the fishing rod with apple bait from Li Chun's hand, thanked Mr. Li Chun, sat down on the other side of Li Chun, and threw down the rod.
This time it was Yue Rong and Lin Long's turn to bite the apple and look at the three people sitting side by side on the bow of the boat, motionless and silent.
Like three wooden stakes...
The lake is very quiet.
It's quiet on the boat underwater.
It's a bit scary...
