Chapter 280: Offering Fish
Bai Jingyuan finally arrived in Qishui - a city he thought he would have come several years ago.
This is the fief of Qishuizhang. Although it is located on the border and has been developed for hundreds of years, it is very prosperous.
It is still hundreds of miles away from the real Qishui City. As soon as I entered the fief, I saw that the people here live and work in peace and contentment, and most of them rely on water to get water. They either make a living by shipping or fishing.
Along the way, Bai Jingyuan has seen countless fishermen.
Some people would hide in fear when they saw his convoy from afar, while others were very brave and ran to block the frame with a fish basket and said they would present the fish he had just caught to the king.
If he meets the sincere and truly weathered fisherman, he will accept the fish and reward them with something so that they can live a good life while making them happy.
If he encounters someone who takes advantage of the opportunity and wants to get along with him by offering fish, he will smile and say a few nice words, then accept the fish and give nothing.
Someone was dissatisfied and asked him: "Why do others give fish and I don't have one? Does the king look down on a lowly person like me?!"
This is how the king of this era is difficult to be a good person. Chinese people always want to reason with you, but you can’t beat someone up!
He didn't get angry because of this, but he just vaguely realized that someone was actually making arrangements for all this, so he said, "Aren't you here to offer fish? Your fish, I have already taken it away."
If he only had the matter of offering fish in his heart, he should have left happily now, but he didn't.
Then what he calls fish offering is just a lie.
To deceive the king, the king has never been angry. He is already kind and dares to ask for so many things?
The man immediately ran away with shame with his sleeves covering his face.
Then Bai Jingyuan said to the people around him: "This person has white face and soft hair. He is obviously not a fisherman. What's more, a real fisherman will not cover his face with his sleeves."
These are all the faults of the nobles.
Everyone will give them all kinds of rainbow farts, which will make people feel very happy after listening to them!
But next, there will be a real fisherman to take advantage of it.
As usual, he offered fish and questioned, but Bai Jingyuan frowned and asked, "How do you know that others have it?"
When I saw the man before, I felt that he was more slick and less down-to-earth. Even a real fisherman would not be a living person.
He could not help such a person, so naturally there would be no gift.
When he questioned him, he found something was wrong.
Every time he rewarded something, except for the servants around him, only the fisherman himself knew that no matter how stupid a person was, he knew that he was guilty of possessing a treasure. He didn't want the matter to spread and was always stopped. He told him not to talk about it everywhere. Those people were afraid of being evil and did not dare.
Unless someone pays attention to his behavior at all times.
But ordinary people are not qualified to pay attention to him?
Secretly monitoring the king, he was kind and he wanted no one to get angry.
Bai Jingyuan sneered, and the man retreated again in shame.
In this way, Bai Jingyuan encountered countless things along the way, but it was not difficult to bear.
Zhang Yuan was already very old, but on the day Bai Jingyuan arrived in Qishui, he still welcomed him dozens of miles outside the city. He thought he set out before dawn.
It was very hot at that time. Bai Jingyuan was wearing shorts and short jackets, holding a cool pebbles in the car. He stared blankly at the scenery retreating outside the window and was fascinated. He felt his bones all over his body were sore, and he wished he could lie on the side of the road and ended his journey immediately.
Seeing the convoy stop, he immediately asked what happened to Yuman?
Yuman said, Zhang Lai of Qishui welcomed the king.
Bai Jingyuan immediately cheered up and lifted the curtain. Xianglianer was pushing Zhang Yuan in the wheelchair.
Now Xiang Lian'er has grown up and doesn't like others to call him nicknames, but the king only has the pleasure of calling him like this, which means the king remembers him!
After both sides bowed, Bai Jingyuan invited them into the car and walked with him.
After each of them sat down, they began to talk about the interesting things that happened during this period.
It has been a long time since we parted last time, but we didn't expect to see each other again in this life. Zhang Yuan was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night and came to greet him in the middle of the night. If it weren't for the difficulty of walking at night, he would probably have been able to meet him further!
Compared to the last time he parted, he was much older, his white hair began to turn yellow, his age spots were almost blocked, and his wrinkles on his face were almost unable to squeeze out. However, when Bai Jingyuan saw him, he waited until both sides treated him, the first sentence was:
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to get fat!"
If a person who is not good at doing things has a good attitude, he should eat and drink every day, and he should not put it in his heart when encountering problems. It is difficult to not be fat!
Zhang Yuan was crying, but he immediately laughed when he heard this!
This is a compliment to him that he has a good mentality and a comfortable life!
"There is no worries every day, and I am not afraid anymore, so I will naturally gain weight."
This smile revealed his bare gums - his teeth were almost falling off.
Bai Jingyuan's mood suddenly became heavier.
Time will not let anyone go.
Zhang Yuan has reached the final stage of his life.
Seeing that he was in a low mood, Zhang Yuan smiled and compared him to his height, praising him for growing taller.
He is so open-minded, and Bai Jing is the source of it that it is impossible for him to continue to be sad about spring and autumn.
The two of them were back in the same car like old friends. On the way, Zhang Yuan talked about the interesting things about the younger generation in his family, and his words were full of satisfaction with life. Bai Jingyuan listened carefully and found it interesting.
Such ordinary family matters are already a long-standing thing for him. It would be great to listen to them occasionally.
However, when Zhang Yuan tactfully mentioned that a woman at home was very gentle, Bai Jingyuan pretended not to understand and changed the topic.
Marrying Liu Sang is enough to get married. She is young and doesn’t care about her health. What can I do in the future?
If he wants to marry him in the future, he will marry him who he likes. He doesn't know the name, it's meaningless.
Seeing that he politely refused, Zhang Yuan was very disappointed, as if he had been aged a few years later. Bai Jingyuan was angry and helpless to see that he could only pretend not to see it.
When a person is old, he will not suffer for life span. He wants to leave more benefits for his descendants. Bai Jingyuan understands it, but he still doesn't like such things.
Even if Zhang Yuan just tried it.
He left the city early in the morning to greet Bai Jingyuan, and the touch he brought to him disappeared without a trace.
I walked into the city in the night, with only the torches shaking in my eyes. I didn’t see clearly what was in the city.
Zhang Yuan knew that he was unhappy, and then he was much more careful when speaking and doing things. Until now, when talking about the residence prepared for him, he said proudly: "This place has been prepared for the king for many years, and now it has finally welcomed its owner."
Seeing that he was old, it was getting dark and tired for another day, and he still had to be a competent "tour guide" here, Bai Jingyuan also felt soft and kept him for the night to show that the relationship between the two was indeed very good.
He still remembers the first time he saw Zhang Yuan.
Alas! Time flies!
Even though he has been young again, he is still there.
Chapter completed!
