The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 543: Suffering from a lack of study

Zhong Siyu suddenly grabbed Zhu'er's hand and said, "Zhu'er, go to the Marquis's Mansion and ask if there is any news about the Marquis. No one can help me except you."

Zhuer felt sorry for her young lady. If her young lady asked her for anything, she would definitely do it.

"Miss, you eat first. After you eat, I will ask for you."

After listening to Pearl's words, Zhong Siyu picked up her rice bowl and started eating.

Zhuer listened to the master and his wife, but what she listened to most was the words of their young lady Zhong Siyu. When she found an opportunity, she sneaked out secretly.

This time, the door of the Hou Mansion did not embarrass her, and went directly to see the old housekeeper on her behalf.

The old housekeeper is talking to Mr. Wan in the main hall.

Seeing Zhu'er hurried in, she asked, "Girl Zhu'er, why are you so anxious? What happened?"

Zhuer grinned when they met.

"Oh, don't cry. If you have something to say, please speak slowly."

"My young lady was locked up by the master and his wife because of the marquis."

The old housekeeper looked at Mr. Wan. After the two made eye contact, Mr. Wan said, "Then what can we do?"

Zhu Er shook her head and said, "The young lady and I left here yesterday and were locked up as soon as we arrived home. The master and the madam did not allow the young lady to have any further contact or involvement with the Marquis."

Mr. Wan said: "Marriage is originally the order of parents, and the matchmaker said that since Zuo Yuanwai and his wife do not agree with this marriage, I think the matter should be dropped here. Taking advantage of the fact that we are not deeply in love with each other, we can treat them separately at this time. The damage is small.”

Zhu'er shook her head desperately, "No, no, my lady must wait for Mr. Hou. She came here today just to ask if there is any news from Mr. Hou."

The old housekeeper looked at Mr. Wan, and Mr. Wan looked at the old housekeeper. Mr. Wan said, "No news yet."

The old housekeeper also said: "There is no news."

Pearl cried even harder, "Then how can I go back and explain to the lady? She has already gone on a hunger strike for the sake of the Marquis."

The old housekeeper said: "She also went on a hunger strike?"

Zhuer stopped crying immediately, "Who else is on hunger strike?"

The old housekeeper said: "There is no one left. It is rare to see someone as infatuated as Miss Zhong. Go home and tell your lady that when it is time to eat and drink, the Marquis will naturally come out when it is time to come out."

As soon as Zhu Er left, Mr. Wan said: "You have done evil, you have done evil, you have mistaken people, you have mistaken people."

The old housekeeper also sighed: "When I met the Marquis, my life was ruined. Alas! Why are these girls so persistent?"

On the other side, Shang Xi, who had retired to the mountains and forests, was not living a good life either. He was struggling to eat and drink every day.

"Mom, I found a river not far ahead. There should be fish in it."

Mrs. Wan said: "Is the water deep? Don't touch it. You don't know how to swim."

There are few women here who know how to swim, and I have never seen many women bathing in the river. Especially wealthy people, they all wash in wooden barrels at home.

Shang Xi said: "I tried throwing stones, but it wasn't deep."

Hearing that there were fish in the river, Cheng Youning was very happy. He picked up the wooden basin in the yard and ran to Shang Xi and said, "Mom, go wade into the water and hunt."

Shang Xi said: "It's not certain whether we can catch the fish. What are you doing fishing in such a big basin?"

Cheng Youning smiled and said, "I want to float on the water."

Shang Xi said, "Then you have to wait for a while while I find rope to build a net."

Mrs. Wan smiled and said, "You can weave a net."

Shang Xi said: "I can try, but whether I can catch fish is another matter."

Shang Xi found a bundle of rope from the warehouse.

Xing'er looked at it and said, "Is it just like this?"

Shang Xi said: "Isn't it too simple?"

Myolie nodded.

Shang Xi said: “This is how a real fishing net is knotted, but I don’t have such a thin thread.

Xing'er said: "Can I catch fish here?"

Shang Xi said: "As long as there are fish, that's enough."

"I'll help you."

The two worked together to build a small net.

According to Cheng Youning's wish, the wooden basin was also carried.

The river was really not big. When he reached the river, Cheng Youning took off his clothes first, and then carefully went into the water.

Fortunately, the river is not big or deep, otherwise Shang Xi would not be able to let him go into the water, because Shang Xi does not know how to swim, and the water is deep enough that she would not be able to fish Cheng Youning out, and she would not dare to do such a risky thing.

As soon as Cheng Youning entered the water, he started paddling with all his limbs.

After seeing her, Shang Xi said, "Your little grandpa really taught you how to swim. I heard he can't even swim."

Cheng Youning also turned over in the water, which really amused Shang Xi.

"Mom, take off your clothes and come down."

Shang Xi smiled and said, "Who is as shameless as you?"

Cheng Youning's giggles came from the water.

This put Shang Xi in a difficult situation. Cheng Youning splashed such a small river like this, and the fish didn't even know where to hide.

Shang Xi cast a net in a decent manner, but didn't catch anything.

She believed that wherever gold and sincerity reached, gold and stone would open up, so she cast several nets in succession with all her strength.

Finding nothing, she sat down on the river bank tiredly and out of breath.

At this time, Cheng Youning swam over and said, "Mom, are there any fish?"

Shang Xi shook his head and said, "I may not be able to eat this fish today."

At this time, Mrs. Wan and Xing'er came over, "Didn't you catch any fish?"

Shang Xi said dejectedly: "I don't know whether it's because the net is not working, or because there are no fish in the water."

Mrs. Wan smiled and said: "Where there is water, there will be fish. Your method is wrong."

Shang Xi said: "Isn't my method good?"

Mrs. Wan said: "I would say that you have suffered from a lack of reading." Why is reading mentioned everywhere.

Shang Xi said: "Then please give me some advice."

Mrs. Wan said: "The fishing methods I read in the book all use sharp tools for fishing."

Shang Xi said: "I understand, just use a pointed weapon to stab the fish."

Mrs. Wan smiled and said, "Yes."

Shang Xi said: "Then I'll go home and find a fork."

Mrs. Wan said: "Don't go back, I asked Xing'er to get it for you."

Only then did Shang Xi see the sharp weapon in Xing'er's hand. It was not a fork, but a sharp javelin. Where did it come from?

"Mom, you've already figured out that I can't catch fish, right?"

Mrs. Wan said: "Look at how big the holes in your net are. Fish of any size will have to escape. Besides, how big of a fish can there be in such a big river?"

Looking at her fishing net, the holes were indeed a bit big, but she had no intention of catching small fish. One big fish was enough, and she was not greedy.

Shang Xi took the javelin and said to Cheng Youning: "Go ashore, I'm afraid I accidentally hurt you."

Cheng Youning said, "Mom, put it in the basin for me. I'll float on the water. When you catch the fish, I'll hold it for you."

Okay, this river is small, like a bubble, and this basin can't float in such a big river. Shang Xi followed Cheng Youning's instructions and directly put the person in the basin and let him float on the water by himself.
