The weather is getting colder in October. Li Li is fishing on the water pavilion near Guanyutai in the western suburbs of Poyang City.

The water pavilion is surrounded by many servants, and there is a handsome man sitting behind the table and slowly tasting crab roe and crab paste.

He is a tall and wide-belt person, and is a typical figure of a literati. He is about thirty years old. He is Xu Junqian, the consultant of the Xiangdong Prince's Mansion who came to Poyang to visit.

Xu Junqian lived in Poyang for a while and handled government affairs in the county party committee on weekdays. She naturally wore official uniforms. Today she went out and wore casual clothes. She lost her official power and became more elegant.

He ate crab paste and enjoyed the crab roe. Next to him, a beautiful woman peeled crabs for her.

After taking out the crab roe and crab paste, several young women kept turning around and took up steamed crabs and then took down piles of crab shells.

While the woman was walking, she rolled up a faint fragrance. When the wind blew, she drifted everywhere. When Li Li smelled it, she felt refreshed, but she didn't dare to look around.

The case of Zhan Liang was settled. After he was released from prison, he had paid the exemption from service, so he did not need to serve in the county and could go home.

As a result, he was found by the county party committee and said he wanted to fish for Xu Shenjun.

It is said that Xu Zhanjun would return to Xunyang within a few days, so Li Li didn't think there was anything. Besides, Xu Zhanjun, who participated in the trial of the case, was considered his benefactor to restore his innocence.

It is natural to show your benefactor the technique of bait fishing.

With a "slam", Li Li caught a mandarin fish, which was worth ten kilograms. After finally catching it with a net, he quickly presented fish to Xu Shenjun.

Xu Junqian looked at the fat mandarin fish, nodded, signaling the servant to bring a Hu bed and let Li Li sit down, but Li Li said consciously: "What a villain's identity, how dare he sit down."

Not to mention sitting, even looking at each other is rude, so Li Li lowered his head and spoke slightly.

Xu Junqian didn't say much. After eating a plate of crab paste and crab roe, he slowly drank a cup of tea and said, "The prince has caught mandarin fish, but it is difficult to catch."

The "prince" mentioned by Xu Junqian is of course the prince of Xiangdong, and Li Li said with a slight voice.

"You can not only fish, but also use... iron sheets to fish, which shows that the fishing technique is great and well-deserved."

"Shangguan was joking, the villain is just lucky today..."

Xu Junqian looked at Li Li who was standing with his head down, "On the front-end days, I am busy with official business. Now that I have time, I can take a look at you seriously."

This was strange, and Li Li could only continue to listen carefully.

"You are very strong. At the beginning of the year, you were falsely accused of torture and pleaded not guilty, and you even overturned the case."

Li Li replied: "Return to Shangguan, this is the wise man of Liu's family. The villain dare not claim to be backbone."

Regarding this answer, Xu Junqian refused to comment and said, "Fishing is not good, you are really capable."

"When I go back to Shangguan, the villain is just a trick of fishing, and he is just a trick of chewing insects."

"A little trick to carving insects?" Xu Junqian's eyes narrowed when she heard this, looked at Li Li, and asked, "You know how to write insects?"

Li Li felt inexplicably: "A villain can't do calligraphy."

"But I can talk about the tricks of carving insects..." Xu Junqian laughed, then shook her head, and for a moment, the laughter gradually became colder: "The world only talks about carving insects and seal carvings. This is the first time I heard people say the tricks of carving insects."

Li Li felt more and more confused and complained: I just said the "small tricks of carving insects". Are you the ones?

"Mei'er, do you know what is a 'eul worm'?"

When Li Li heard this, he thought the other party called him "Mei'er", so he felt goose bumps all over his body. Unexpectedly, Xu Junqian was talking to the beauty around him.

The beauty is in her prime and has outstanding appearance. When Xu Junqian said this, she frowned: "I know, but I haven't heard anyone so arrogant and dare to say that the eagle is a trick."

Xu Junqian pointed at Li Li: "This Li Sanlang thinks that the eagle is a trick."

The beauty looked at Li Li and saw that she was shabby and looked contemptuous on her face: "Maybe, this is a summer insect."

Xu Junqian stood up, flapped her hands, her sleeves waving, and she was making a sound. Li Li couldn't help but look up and then was shocked.

The person in front of him has fluttering sleeves and a dignified appearance, standing in the wind, like a god.

When I looked closely, I saw that it was "smoked clothes, shaved face, and pursed powder and vermilion", which means wearing aromatic clothes, with "foundation" on my face, white face without beard, and rubbed with rouge.

This is how the children of the gentry dressed in this era, shaving their faces, slimming their faces, pursing their pinks, traveling on ox carts, talking nonsense all day long, despising practice, and being ashamed of riding horses.

In Li Li's opinion, dressing up like this is just a man or a woman, and there is no masculinity at all.

Then he complained: I was ashamed of riding a horse, no wonder the Southern Dynasty could not recover the Central Plains...

"You are ignorant, but you speak wildly..." Xu Junqian said, showing disappointment: "It seems that you are not suitable for you, let's go, let's go."

Li Li really felt inexplicable: I just said the 'small tricks', are you?

Also, what is ‘inappropriate’?

Seeing an official wavering to him and signaling "Get out of packing up, get out of packing up." Li Li was unwilling to let it go, and wanted to figure out what he had done wrong, so he raised his head and asked:

"Shangguan! The worms are just worms. The villain is idle when he is free, and often uses a knife to carve wood, carve fish, and insects. This... isn't this a trick?"

When the beauty heard this, she covered her mouth with a round fan in her hand: "Oh, Xu Lang, what he is talking about is carving fish and insects."

"So that's it." Xu Junqian looked at Li Li and smiled: "So that's it. This 'geek' is not that 'geek', so it's fine."

He walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and then said to Li Li: "Chew, insect, is the crayon book, crayon, which refers to calligraphy..."

Li Li suddenly realized: "Ah, the villain is ignorant, he speaks nonsense..."

"Do you open your mouth and open your mouth and open your mouth and open your mouth and open your mouth and open your mouth?" Xu Junqian thought about these four words and became interested: "Li Sanlang, are you talking about mercy or river? What is the explanation? Why did the dictionary come from?"

Li Li felt that he was in bad luck today, so why did he just say two idioms casually and be so frustrated by this man and woman?

Aren’t you a family from a noble family who is well-read in poetry and books? Why don’t you even understand these two idioms?

Li Li complained in his heart, but did not dare not not answer: "Back to Shangguan, it is the river of the river..."

He carefully considered the words and tried not to use idioms, so as not to attract the other party to ask questions again. After a moment, he said: "When talking nonsense, it means that a river can appear with just a word, which means 'saying randomly'."

"So that's it, but..." Xu Junqian looked at Li Li and asked with interest: "You said casually and said two good words. Could it be that you have studied?"

"Return to Shangguan, the villain has never read a book."

"Is that..." Xu Junqian pondered and said for a moment: 'Well, let me see your fishing gear."

"yes."

Li Li brought the fishing gear he brought and first placed it on the ground. Xu Junqian saw that the carriage fishing wheel was quite unique, and saw that Li Li had a wide variety of "baits" and became interested:

"This...beat...are so many baits?"

Li Li replied: "Yes, different baits can catch different fish."

He introduced the uses of various baits to the other party, namely the different fish that these baits are targeted.

Bait 1. The iron-shaped bait with an iron hook is actually a long iron piece that has been polished to make Cheng Liang reflect in the water. It is also called a "sequin". Any predatory fish can be caught, such as mandarin fish and black birds.

Bait 2, the bait is very similar to a small fish's bait, carved from wood, with iron sheets sandwiched in the middle as a counterweight, and also with an iron hook. From a distance, it looks similar to a real fish. It can be used to have some predatory fish that move in the middle of the water, such as turtle fish.

Bait 3, a fake worm made of fish bladder glue, looks like an earthworm, soft, also known as "soft worm". When used, hook the fish hook on the "soft worm" to catch omnivorous fish, such as grass carp, carp, and catfish.

There are several other types of baits with unique shapes that look very strange. Xu Junqian thinks that the fish will definitely not bite the hook, but Li Li said it will definitely do it.

Xu Junqian looked carefully and smiled and said, "Sure enough, I have specialized in my skills."

Li Li could only sue him: "The villain was frightened and dared not say that he had specialties, nor did he dare to say that he could catch fish every day."

Xu Junqian just waved her hand: "The joy of fishing doesn't have to catch fish."

After saying that, he hugged the beauty and watched the setting sun on the lake: "For example, looking at the sunset with the lake and the mountains and the sunset is also a pleasure."

Li Li stood aside and remained silent. He only heard Xu Chanjun start chanting poems, and the beauty picked up her pen and wrote the poems on paper.

Li Li didn't quite understand the literature of this era and couldn't hear the artistic conception of this person. Anyway, he felt that it was a little worse than "Tang poetry and Song lyrics".

Just when he was bored, he heard a cheering around him. Li Li looked up and saw that it was the officials who accompanied Xu Chanjun on a trip and praised Shangguan Xin for writing a poem.

That is to flatter and flatter.

Li Li didn't want to look too different, so he also applauded. When the beauty saw it, she looked down upon it: "Li Sanlang, do you understand?"

Li Li replied: "The villain doesn't understand, but he just saw everyone applauding, that should be good..."

After hearing the word "Everyone", the beauty's face froze, then her face turned red and turned white, her body trembled slightly, and her eyes turned red. She seemed to be angry and very angry.

Seeing the other person like this, Li Li felt a little shocked: What's going on? What did I say wrong again?

"You..." Xu Junqian looked at Li Li with a sharp look and a cold tone: "What did you say just now?"
