Chapter 8 Chapter Eight: Jiang Ziya’s Skillful Fishing in the Panxi River

But she said that the woman saw Fang Weng coming back and said with a smile: "Fang Weng, I have agreed with your wife, I will ask for a night tonight, and I will go to the hermit country early tomorrow morning." Tang Wan said: "Her name is Thirteenth Sister. She is a woman from the country of chivalrous men. She came from the country of saints. She will only stay here for one night. I will leave early tomorrow morning. We will live in the East Wing. Let her live in this house." .” Fang Weng said: "Alright." When Hong Bo heard that Thirteenth Sister was going to the Hermit Country, he said, "Thirteenth Sister, the two of us are going to the Hermit Country tomorrow morning, how about you and us?"

Fang Weng said: "Mr. Chen, you two are leaving after just two days in Shike Country. I think Shanxi Village treats you badly." Hong Bo said: "It's bad to let the old man go. The two of us are only traveling and can't stay for too long. The thirteenth sister just happened to go to the hermit country, and we don't know the way. Wouldn't it be good for her to take us there? Taibai and the others will be guests in the Hermit Kingdom again, just for a while." Fang Weng was speechless, Hong Bo and Xiao Zhi came to the west chamber and slept separately.Before going to sleep, Xiaozhi whispered to Hong Bo: "I think this thirteenth sister is like the assassin who assassinated the Jade Emperor in Guanghan Palace that day." Hong Bo said: "This is not a nonsense matter, just hurry up tomorrow morning."

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Thirteenth Sister woke up Hong Bo and Xiao Zhi, and Fang Weng and his wife bid farewell to them in tears. The thirteenth sister led the two of them eastward for five or sixty miles, and when they came to the river, it was still the Fuchun River. It turned out that the Fuchun River went straight down to the southeast along the country of poets, saints, hermits, and Jianglou. go. There happened to be a ferry by the river, the three of them called a boat, the three of Thirteen Sisters boarded the boat, and the boat reached the other side, Thirteen Sisters paid the boatman, and the three of them came to the market.

When the three of them came to the middle of the street, they saw a restaurant in the middle. Behind the restaurant, there was a small stream with trickling water. Next to it was a stone tablet with the word "Panxi" written on it.There was an old man sitting on the stone tablet. He was bare chested and exposed, holding a fishing rod. The fishing rod was high above the water surface, and the bait was still three feet above the water surface. However, he heard the words in the mouth of the comer: The thirteenth sister said: "This old man is Jiang Ziya. He has been fishing in Weishui for a hundred years. He met King Wen of Zhou to pay homage to him. Now he has come to the kingdom of heaven to fish for officials."

At this time, an old woman came down from the restaurant, holding a pig knife in her hand, and angrily scolded the old man: "Good old coffin bastard! What kind of dream are you having? You still want to meet King Wen of Zhou!" Ah, bah! Dreaming of marrying a daughter-in-law! What do you call that broken pole a soul? Don’t shed that pig hair for me!” When the old man heard this, he muttered in a low voice: "What do you know as a woman?! There is no wise king these days, I don't believe that!" Talking about still fishing. The old woman was furious when she saw it, and shouted: "You went fishing here early in the morning, and it cost me a lot of meat, but how many did you catch? Why don't you just run here to hide and relax! You...you get out of here Go back!" The old woman became more and more angry as she spoke, and kicked the fish tank into the water with a "plop".

The old man has a good temper, as if nothing had happened, just smiling slightly.Seeing that the old woman added fuel to the fire, she couldn't help but cursed: "Look I broke this bamboo pole for you!" As she said that, she came over and wanted to grab the bamboo pole. At this time, a middle-aged man came over from the street, stepped forward and persuaded: "Sister-in-law Jiang, forget it, forget it! Ziya is not easy. After waiting for more than a hundred years, he is about to be buried. It's a pity that he has a lot of knowledge." , now that he has old teeth and gray hair, how can he not be annoyed? He is also annoyed himself!"

The old woman said: "Uncle Jian, you judge and don't hide your jokes. This old coffin is getting more and more confused now. It doesn't fold the quilt, doesn't urinate, and talks about men being superior to women. Look at Yan Ziling's young couple." How harmonious, respecting and loving each other, rushing to do work when there is work. Yan Ziling also fishes, but he comes back every day with a big tow, at least a hundred and eighty catties, and he also helps his wife to sew and wash when he comes back. Shabu. It’s good for him, he always wants to be an official, always wants to be a prime minister, and then he will find a concubine so that he can leave me, bah! I’ve seen it a long time ago.” He sobbed.

Uncle Jian said: "Okay, okay, for my sake, go back and rest!" "Stop?!" The old woman became angry when she heard this. "The bowl hasn't been washed, the wine hasn't been heated, and the meat is gone, so he knows he's poor." "Okay, okay!" Uncle Jian urged the old woman to go upstairs. Jiang Ziya was still fishing, muttering: "Short pole and long line guard Panxi, who knows this institution?" "I know this mechanism best!" Meng Dingding came out of the water, grabbed the fishing rod, and almost dragged the old man into the water, and the water splashed Jiang Ziya all over.

Jiang Taigong was furious and scolded: "Zhu Yan, what are you doing here?" The man climbed out of the water and came ashore, with black hair on his chest, he said with a smile: "My Lord Hou treats you to a meal." Jiang Gongdao: "Tell Hou Ying that Feng Tang will invite me to play chess in a while, and I will meet your master another day." "Come on, come on, what kind of chess are you playing with that old man Feng?!" Zhu Yan couldn't help saying, picked up Jiang Ziya, and ran into the street. The three of Chen Hongbo laughed and walked into the street again.But seeing this hermit country has more general charm:

The clouds lock the green mountains, and the spring breeze blows fragrance to send warmth.The mist covers the rich spring, and the lotus welcomes the face and makes it more fragrant.The strange rocks are steep, and there are a few white geese playing in the water; the pavilions stand withered, and there are a few leaves of cold maple and black yellow.In Louhaili, who knows Tao Zhugong Fan Jin lives?In Maoyan, who knew that the elderly Feng Tang was lying there?In Huangshi Mansion, Le Taotao went to Zifang Zhang, the son of South Korea.In Wollongong, Zhuge Liang, a layman from Henan, fell asleep happily.When the flying horse is gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning ghost dies, the running dog cooks the general.Fame is hidden, and it is really wishful to be chic.Calling leisurely, I have been leisurely lying in my hometown for a hundred years.For those who are happy, their worries disappear; for those who are worried, they are joyously praised;Those who are busy run away; those who are famous are full of blood; those who are for profit hang their lives on the beam; those who are for wealth are always melancholy; when they ask the king where he is going, he travels in the hermit country, and it turns out that Wang Can is also at a loss!

The three of them came to a thatched hut in the east of the street, and they saw two officials chatting with a middle-aged scholar. The official said: "We are the envoys of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xiu cares about his classmates. Please go." When the country." The scholar said: "I only want to fish here at Qili Beach on the Fuchun River, and I don't want to be a prime minister. Liu Xiu knows all the good intentions, so I will go back and report." The officials saw that it was useless to talk too much, so they had to lead the horse and go away bored. The Thirteenth Sister said, "Yan Ziling, since Liu Xiu invited you to be Prime Minister, why don't you go?" Yan Ziling said: "I really can't bear the turmoil in the officialdom! Didn't you see King Yue kill Wen Zhong, Han Gaozu kill Han Xin?" After that, he went to clean up the fish basket. A woman in the nunnery came out to help him tie the bait, and Yan Ziling carried the fish basket on his back and walked to the river. The three of them were about to ask again, when they heard a young man behind him shout loudly: "Sister Thirteen, since you are in the Hermit Kingdom, why don't you come and sit in my house?" Thirteenth Sister looked back at the young man and said with a smile: "I was going, but you came." That young man was Zhang Liang, Xiang Nian had met Thirteenth Sister, and now Thirteenth Sister introduced him to Hong Bo and Xiao Zhi, Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Just now I heard Taibai Layman and others talking about you, I didn't expect to meet you here, I am very happy to." Hong Bo said: "Is Taibai still there?" Zifang said: "I just sent the three of them away. Let's go and sit in my Huangshi mansion." A few people turned around a few streets and came to a mansion. When they entered the house, they saw only flowers and grass, rainy pines and sweet osmanthus, which was somewhat elegant.Ovary led several people to a hole in Xianglian Jingbao, and called the family boy to hold the crescent eyebrow tea.Hong Bo said: "Xiang Nian, did you come here after saying goodbye to the great ancestor Liu Bang?" Zifang said: "Exactly, I resigned from Liuhou and went to find my teacher, Mr. Huang Shi, who brought me to heaven. Now he has traveled to nowhere. In memory of the teacher, I call this mansion Yellowstone Mansion." After a few cups of tea, Zifang ordered the family to serve rice and tea. After several people had used it, Zifang took the three of them to the quiet garden to enjoy the moon.At night, after the breeze, you will feel happy. In the quiet garden, there are purple bamboo forests, clear waves, beautiful bridges, and steep strange rocks.There is a jade pavilion on the hillside, and a beautiful woman is sitting on the pavilion in the middle of the lake, shouting. Xiao Zhi said: "Who is that woman?" Zhang Liangdao: "Over there is Tao Zhugong Fan Li's Pearl Garden. The lake is connected to this lake from the bottom of the wall. Mr. Fan and I are friends, but I don't know who that woman is? Let's go and have a look." The four of them went out the back door and came to the back door of Pearl Garden. The gatekeepers saw that Zhang Liang was visiting and let them in.The four walked into the garden and saw the woman asking in panic, "Who are you? How dare you enter my garden without authorization." When Fan Li heard the movement, he led a few family members out early, and he was relieved when he saw that it was Zhang Liang and others.Zhang Liang introduced Hong Luo and others to Fan Jin, and said with a smile, "I don't know who this woman is?" Fan Li welcomed them into Yangxin Pavilion, and said: "This is my daughter, named Fan Juanjuan. In Xiangnian, I fled away with Xi Shi. With this daughter, Xi Shi is now the king of beauties. Because of my old love, I sent my daughter Visit me every year." He introduced Fan Juanjuan to everyone.That Fan Juanjuan has more general charm: There are two spring mountains in the thrush, and a pair of bright moons in the autumn waves.Wrapped in plain white clothes, she looks even more charming and unrestrained; with a high bun in a cloud bun, she is ashamed of the eternal romance.Snowy skin is white, better than pear pistils in the rain; limbs are finely woven, like tender willows in the cloud.It's a pity that the descendants of Xizi are seven points more beautiful than Xizi; it turns out that the descendants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have traveled all over Jiangsu and Zhejiang without such gentleness. Fan Juanjuan said: "I heard that there are two tourists who have traveled to the kingdom of heaven. They are very happy to meet each other today. I only saw our beauty country for a visit." Zifang said: "Doctor Fan, why didn't you tell me about your illegitimate daughter?" Fan Li said: "Family ugliness should not be publicized, what's the use of telling it? At that time, I fled with Xishi for the sake of Yue King Goujian, please don't mind." Fan Juanjuan said: "My mother Xi Shi only gave me ten days off. I have been in this hermit country for two days, and I will leave tomorrow morning. There is still a friend waiting for me in the Red Chamber country." Thirteenth Sister said: "Then Hongbo and Xiaozhi are going there too, why not go with them." Fan Juanjuan said: "That's great. I also took this opportunity to travel to some countries, but unfortunately I only passed through Jiuxiang Country and Red Chamber Country. My mother disciplined me very strictly." Several people chatted once, and Fan Li stayed with Thirteenth Sister, Hong Bo, and Xiao Zhi, and Zhang Liang bid farewell and returned to Huangshi Mansion. On the second day, several people bid farewell to Fan Li, Fan Juanjuan, Fan Li's father and daughter were reluctant to leave, and Fan Li did not return until he was sent to the Duanchang Pavilion ten miles away. The four of them walked for twenty or thirty miles, and it started to rain lightly.The green mountain and cold temple, the green trees and the flowers, are even more fresh after the rain.There is another river far away. That river is called Xiaojiang, which is a tributary of Fuchun River. There is a restaurant by the river. Fan Juanjuan said: "This building is Yueyang Tower. My friend is waiting there." The four came to the building. A while ago, it was drizzling and there were few drinkers, but I saw a lady upstairs calling out, "Juanjuan, I'm here." Fan Juanjuan said: "Su Xiaoxiao, come down quickly and meet these few friends." Then Su Xiaoxiao paid the money and went down lightly, and Juanjuan introduced it to everyone. Whatever happens, the boat is already rented, just waiting for you." Hong Bo saw that Su Xiaoxiao also had character, but he saw: Small and exquisite, she was originally Wu Daimeiwa.The shameful flower Jiaoyue held out the famous flower of the Southern Dynasty.If you don't say anything, you will be shocked; if you are drunk but not drunk, you can go to the end of the flower in your dream. When the five people came to the dock, they could only see a vast expanse, and there was not a single boat left, and the owner of the boat disappeared without a trace. "How do we get there?" Luo Xiaozhi asked. "It's not difficult. There is a boat hidden under the pipa pavilion, which can carry five of us." Su Xiaoxiao came to the bottom of the pavilion and pulled out a small boat. It turned out that the four of us competed because we couldn't see clearly because of the night. not found.Several people boarded the boat with Su Xiaoxiao, Su Xiaoxiao skillfully steered the rudder, and the boat sailed towards the opposite bank like an arrow. Gradually approaching the opposite bank, the sky gradually became clearer, and I saw a lake and mountain pavilions, criss-crossing and densely packed. The four couldn't help applauding, as evidenced by their gifts: The stamens of the plow are white, a little bit cold and fragrant, delicate and weak.The lotus root pool is green, and the flying fish are making dark noises.Under the green screen window, famous girls and talented women lie drunk.In the Zhuhua grove, the prince and literati hold the piano and sing.In Yihong Courtyard, golden candles are faint.Xiaoxiangguan, sister Tingting.In Hengwu Courtyard, there are faint chrysanthemums; in Daoxiang Village, there is smoke from cooking.There are tens of thousands of pieces of music in the Red Chamber, and there are countless organs of Cao Gong's 10,000 pieces.I can't tell my heart's content about the affairs of Bo Guoning's mansion, and I can't sing about the shameful feelings of talented women with hundreds of flowers.There are big and big difficulties, and small and small cries. When the boat approached the shore, Su Xiaoxiao led the crowd up the grassy slope, and saw a girl in plain clothes walking out from the Moon Gate in front, carrying a wooden barrel, walking out slowly, Su Xiaoxiao greeted: "Zicuckoo, where are you so early?" go?" The girl named Zicuckoo frowned and said, "Miss Lin hasn't returned to Xiaoxiang Pavilion all night, so I don't know where she went? I went to Yihong Courtyard to inquire about it in the morning, but Baoyu didn't know. Go to Mrs. Wang and report it." After saying that, he left in a hurry. Su Xiaoxiao didn't ask any more questions, and led the crowd into the Moon Gate, only to see that it was a courtyard, through the courtyard, and off the small bridge, Su Xiaoxiao said: "I will take you to see Baoyu, Wang Xifeng went to Quanshu Kingdom the day before yesterday Now, here is Jia Tanchun on duty, but Baoyu is the person in power, Mrs. Wang and others in the Grand View Garden never come, Baoyu must be very happy to see you." At this time, they suddenly heard the whimpering and sobbing of a woman crying in the flowers behind the small bridge, and there was still green smoke from time to time, and everyone couldn't help being surprised.Su Xiaoxiao said: "Come on, let's go over there and have a look." exactly: The eternal mystery of the Red Chamber is revealed by the white smoke. Crazy or Crazy, I don't know who explained it?
