Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 102 I'll Teach You to Fish

Wang Mu's words made Jia Qiong so frightened that she even broke out in cold sweat.

When Emperor Longqing pointed out that he was practicing martial arts, Jia Qiong had suspected that the Wang family had spies from Jin Yiwei.

He couldn't help but look around, fearing that the Jin Yiwei would suddenly fall from the sky.

Wang Mu smiled at his expression, stood up and said, "You come to Beijing this time, you don't know when you will come back.

Let’s go for a walk and go fishing with grandpa.

I recently found a good place where the white fish are big and delicious. "

Jia Qiong was confused. She didn't understand what the old man was going to do and why he suddenly wanted to go fishing again.

However, since Wang Mu mentioned it, Jia Qiong could not help but accompany him out of the house and came to a secluded riverside.

It is sparsely populated, shaded by willow trees, and has beautiful mountains and rivers. It is indeed a good place for fishing.

The servants prepared the fishing tools, and after setting them up, Wang Mu kept them away from him.

The two of them each had a bamboo pole, sat on rattan chairs and started fishing, which was quite leisurely and comfortable.

Wang Mu saw Jia Qiong's clumsy movements and asked with a smile: "Boy Jia, have you never fished before?"

Jia Qiong nodded and said, "This is my first time fishing."

Wang Mu said: "Then I have to teach you.

If you want to get more from fishing, you must first spread more bait to gather all the fish.

If there are too many fish, they will naturally compete for food. They don't care whether there is a hook in the bait, so they are particularly easy to get hooked. "

Jia Qiong nodded and said, "Grandpa is indeed proficient in fishing. What he said makes sense."

After a while, Wang Mu asked again: "How is your work on "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" going? I'm still waiting to see it."

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "I have been busy with the imperial examination recently, and I didn't bother to write. I just started."

Jia Qiong did not write much in the past year, and spent all her time refining her articles.

Anyway, since the Wang family started selling sugar, his income has been very generous, and he no longer has to make money by publishing books.

Old Man Wang said displeasedly: "You have to hold on tight.

It’s been two years since you wrote about the Three Kingdoms. Why are you so procrastinating? "

Jia Qiong was speechless by the sudden reminder and quickly promised that she would find time to write.

Old Man Wang asked casually: "There are many heroes in the Three Kingdoms. Who do you admire the most?"

Jia Qiong was just looking at the fish float and didn't notice the flash of light in Wang Mu's eyes.

He replied without thinking: "Cao Cao."

Wang Mu Youyou asked: "Everyone in the world says that Cao Cao is a traitor, but they prefer Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu more. Why do you prefer Cao Cao?"

Jia Qiong said: "Without Cao Cao, when would the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty end?

The alien races from the north may also wreak havoc on the Central Plains, and I don’t know how many more people will die. "

Wang Mu added: "But Cao Cao usurped the Han Dynasty, and he was despised by everyone in the world."

Jia Qiong came to his senses at this time, secretly thinking that the old fox had tricked him into talking. He thought for a while before replying.

"Cao Cao was only the king of Wei until his death, so how could he usurp the Han Dynasty?"

At this time, Wang Mu raised the bamboo pole, and he caught a big cocked mouth that was more than a foot long.

The old man laughed and said: "Haha, Yu'er, Yu'er, you are so stupid.

If you don't bite the hook, I will keep spreading the bait, and you will eat more by then.

But you couldn't wait any longer and insisted on taking one more bite. You deserved to end up in my belly now. "

Listening to Wang Mu talking to himself, Jia Qiong always felt that something was not right with him today, and there was always a deep meaning hidden in his words.

He was thinking about the meaning of the old man's words, but he heard him ask again.

"Is Cao Cao the protagonist in your book?"

Jia Qiong said: "Of course not, my book is not written by one person.

If I had to talk about the protagonist, it should be Zhuge Liang. "

Wang Murao said meaningfully: "That's good, then the saint will be happy after seeing it. But I actually like Cao Mengde quite a lot. He was also a loyal minister and good general who helped the Han Dynasty in the first half of his life.

Even though he had the idea of ​​plotting to usurp the throne, he still endured it for more than 20 years.

When the Han Dynasty's energy is not exhausted, life and death means not taking action.

If he couldn't keep calm, like this fish, he would probably have become food in other people's mouths long ago, and there would be no Cao Wei later.

Remember, if you want to eat more, don’t bite the hook in a hurry.

When the fish grows bigger than a human being, no one can catch it. "

Jia Qiong was shocked when she heard this and looked at Old Man Wang, who was half lying on the wicker chair with his eyes narrowed.

After a while, he nodded silently. I don't know if Old Man Wang saw it.

After a long time, Wang Mu said faintly: "You are about to enter the capital. Let me tell you about the past events of the Holy Emperor."

Jia Qiong said hurriedly: "My grandson is all ears."

Wang Mu looked at the sky, as if lost in memories.

After a while, he said: "The emperor is kind-hearted by nature, diligent and self-denial, and can definitely be regarded as a wise king.

It's just that he is quite suspicious. This should be related to his concubine's ascension to the throne. He lacks confidence and is naturally prone to suspicion.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. The emperor's mind is naturally more secure.

The first time I met the Holy Emperor was in the spring of the 13th year of Hongwu.

At that time, I was serving as the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and was selected by the Supreme Emperor to lecture the princes at the Chongwen Hall.

......"

On the last day of August, Jia Qiong's family said goodbye to many relatives and friends and boarded a passenger ship heading north to Chang'an.

Chang'an City, Daming Palace.

The situation of the provincial examinations in various provinces has begun to be reported to Emperor Longqing's imperial records.

When he saw the list of those who passed the provincial examination in Jinling Province, his eyes fell on Jia Qiong's name and did not leave for a long time.

Although Jia Qiong was not in the capital these years, he could often hear news about this kid.

Emperor Longqing never expected that the little boy he saw at the Lantern Festival would grow up so quickly.

Nowadays, he is really famous all over the world. Whether he is a scholar or an ordinary person, no one knows about Jia Yujing. Even he himself admires this young man very much.

Jia Qiong's reputation was too high, which made the suspicious Emperor Longqing murmur in his heart.

But considering that he is the grandson of the direct minister Shen Yan and the grandson-in-law of the loyal minister Wang Mu, he should not be a traitor and traitor.

Emperor Longqing has been paying attention to him these years. From the time he went to Jiangnan, he ordered the Jin Yiwei to pay attention to Jia Qiong's movements.

Judging from his behavior in the past few years, Jia Qiong is indeed a man of good character and worthy of his great responsibility.

Moreover, he also has the heart to serve the country and secure the people, and he is truly a famous minister.

Now that Jia Qiong has passed the provincial examination, the next step will definitely be to return to Beijing for the Spring Festival.

If you perform normally, it is a sure thing to be a Jinshi.

For Emperor Longqing, Jia Qiong will be a very important chess piece once he enters the court.

His role may be greater than all the Jinshi in this subject combined.

If Jia Qiong was not of noble birth, Emperor Longqing would not hesitate to train him carefully and entrust him with important responsibilities.

However, because of his background, he still had some doubts.

Emperor Longqing thought that he needed to be carefully inspected before using him again.

One is to see what his practical ability is, and more importantly, to understand what he is thinking.

If Jia Qiong can be of one mind with him, he will spare no effort to train him and make him play his role as soon as possible.

If he still wears the same pants as Jia Zhen and the others, he will have to hold them down first.

Only when you have complete control over the situation can you let him take the lead.

　It will be on the shelves tomorrow. Those who like it will continue to support it. Thank you.
