Chapter 76
Ducks have plump feathers, glossy water, bright black eyes, and shake their tails from time to time, looking very energetic.

Such a vigorous duck must have firm meat and taste delicious.

The old man didn't look like an illiterate farmer, he should have read some books, and he still stayed here for some reason.

Judging by his attire, he should be raising chickens and ducks as well as fishing for a living?
Luo Chuchu secretly guessed.

Fearing that the old man's heart would be bad when he got old, he turned to the side and walked slowly towards the pool.

"Grandpa, are you fishing?"

Chen Yunzong was concentrating on waiting for the fish to take the bait, when a voice sounded beside him, scaring away the fish that was about to take the bait.

The old man's eyebrows are thick, gray like his hair, and he looks majestic when he frowns.

He was about to reprimand the ignorant little girl who ran out of nowhere, but Luo Chuchu didn't want to see his expression because of the angle, and squatted beside him familiarly.

Faced with the elderly over 60 years old, Luo Chuchu's social fear disappeared. He only thought that they were grandparents, and grandparents were of course kind and kind, so he was not afraid to talk to them.

"Grandpa, there are so many fish in your bucket, it's amazing." Luo Chuchu looked down at the wooden bucket at Chen Yunzong's feet.

One grandfather on the left shouted after another, the heart of the elderly softened, and Chen Yunzong's brows unknowingly loosened.

"The old man has been fishing here for three hours, and he only caught this much, which is not too much."

"Three hours?" Luo Chuchu exclaimed.

That's six hours?For a person of such an age, if he sits motionless by the pool for six hours, can his body really hold on?

Although the old man's clothes were old, they were very clean, and he didn't have the unpleasant "old man's smell" that ordinary old people exude, but his face was a bit stubborn, but with thick eyebrows and bright eyes, he should be a good person.

"Grandpa, how about I help you get up and walk?" Luo Chuchu held Chen Yunzong's arm, worried.

Although Luo's male and female defense is not as strong as in ancient times, it still exists.

Luo Chuchu just thinks that Chen Yunzong is an old man who needs help, and has no concept of his gender at all, but Chen Yunzong's concept is a bit old-fashioned.

He frowned again, glanced at Luo Chuchu, moved his arms, got rid of her support, and said, "The old man is in good health."

Luo Chuchu was a little wronged, she was obviously kind, why did this grandpa speak so harshly?

"Ok."

Since Chen Yunzong didn't need help, she stopped staying beside him and ran to the edge of the pool to look down.

The duck standing on the rock was attracted by Luo Chuchu for some reason, quacked twice, and ran towards Luo Chuchu with its orange flippers up.

"Why are you here? I don't have anything to eat here." Luo Chuchu stared at the duck.

The duck couldn't understand what she said, quacked, and flapped its wings to jump on her head.Luo Chuchu was unprepared and was caught by it.

"Oh, what are you doing!" A strand of hair was accidentally caught by the duck, Luo Chuchu burst into tears in pain, grabbed the duck's neck and lifted it half a meter away from her.

"Quack quack quack quack!" The duck fluttered its wings desperately, its long neck was struggling in her hands, and Luo Chuchu's thin arms couldn't hold it.

However, she didn't dare to let go, for fear that if she let go, the duck would jump on her head and peck her again.

"Is there any mistake, you are a duck, you are not a goose, so what do you do so fiercely?"

The commotion here made Chen Yunzong unable to catch any fish, and when he looked up, he saw the scene of Luo Chuchu pinching the duck's neck.

"Put Xiao Wu down!"

The owner of the duck had already spoken, Luo Chuchu could not let go, and tried to throw the duck as far away as possible.

The duck quacked and ran behind Chen Yunzong, and kept squawking at his feet, as if complaining.

"What's your name? You pecked me first!" Luo Chuchu said angrily.

Chen Yunzong glanced at her, packed the fishing rod and barrel, got up and took the duck away.

Although he didn't say a word to Luo Chuchu, but Luo Chuchu knew that Chen Yunzong must have mistakenly thought that he was the kind of brat who bullied ducks. It was true, but he shouted at his back:
"Grandpa, your duck bit me first! How could you misunderstand me?"

Chen Yunzong's back paused, and said: "If you don't provoke it, how can it bite you?"

What is this nonsense!

Luo Chuchu got angry, and said angrily: "You old man, I didn't do anything to your duck, how could I be wronged? Keep an eye on your duck, if you let it bite people, sooner or later it will be made into a roast duck !"

Luo Chuchu never imagined how much trouble would be brought to Shi Huaishan by acting on the spur of the moment.

Under Feng Dengyun's leadership, he became familiar with the Guozijian and its surrounding areas, and Shi Huaishan also bought a lot of needed pen, ink, paper and inkstone book annotations in the book shop with him.

There was one thing that puzzled Shi Huaishan. It stands to reason that Feng Dengyun didn't need to buy a lot of items, because his family is a Beijing official, and if he needs anything, he can just let his family deliver it.

Feng Dengyun smiled and replied casually: "There is no shortage of these Xu silver at home, just prepare a set in the academy."

Shi Huaishan could only sigh with emotion that there are so many wealthy people in Beijing, it is true that dropping a stone at random can hit an official.

But... his heart moved.

It sounds like Feng Dengyun's family should be a big official, and there is one less question maker in the miscellaneous official exam. It is about poultry, and I can't find a suitable candidate for a while. I wonder if he can provide some ideas?

"Brother Feng, I have something I want to ask for advice."

"Brother Shi, let's talk."

Shi Huaishan lied that a relative in his family wanted to be admitted as a miscellaneous official in charge of poultry, but he didn't know where to start, so he asked Feng Dengyun if he knew that people in this area could visit and inquire.

Feng Dengyun thought for a while, and said a few names that Huaishan had known but felt inappropriate.

"Anyone else?"

"There is one thing, that is, his temper is a little old-fashioned, and he has unique hobbies." Feng Dengyun thought of something, with a strange expression on his face.

"Who is this person?" Shi Huaishan asked.

"This person's name is Chen Yunzong. He used to be a civil servant of the third grade. For some reason, he was transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs on his own initiative. It's a strange story for him to be a miscellaneous official." Feng Dengyun said.

"I think there must be a reason for this adult to make such a decision."

"He has nothing else but likes ducks." Feng Dengyun said.

Shi Huaishan's eyes lit up, and said: "I understand!"

He likes to eat duck, so much that he is willing to resign from the third-rank official position and become a miscellaneous official. In order to match his preferences, he must prepare a good roast duck!

Feng Dengyun said: "As far as I know, this lord has resigned and is currently living outside the capital."
