Chapter 931 Fishing and Eating Fish.

The prince said, as if he was a little surprised: "There's more? I want to see it..."

Jiang Fan suddenly stopped him: "Your Highness, the gift is interesting only when it's a surprise. Why don't you wait until I leave to see it?"

His mysterious demeanor made the prince very interested. He looked at him meaningfully, nodded slightly and smiled: "Okay, that makes sense. I... will wait until you leave to see it."

"Thank you, Prince." Jiang Fan said and sat back.

The prince said: "Why thank me? You came from afar, I should express my gratitude, but it was too sudden and I was not prepared. Let me think about it in the next two days."

"Your Highness, there is no need to do this. Jiang Fan is a minister and should be filial."

The prince shook his head slightly and was about to speak, but suddenly shook the fishing rod: "Oh? There is a fish on the hook."

While speaking, he swung the fishing rod, slid a few times, and lifted it up. It was indeed a big fish. The golden scales were shining, and it was extremely fierce. It weighed three pounds.

Jiang Fan smiled and bowed: "Your Highness, you are lucky."

"It seems that I won this time." The prince was in a good mood.

At this moment, someone suddenly came in and reported: "Your Highness, the King of England wants to see you."

Jiang Fan was stunned. King of England? Isn't that the third prince?

Emperor Ping of the Great Zhou Dynasty had three sons and two daughters. The eldest prince, Ji Zongyi, is the current Crown Prince. The second prince, Ji Zongyun, became a monk because of his dream of Chanjuan. The third prince is the current King of England, Ji Zongyao.

Jiang Fan didn't know much about this King of England, but he had heard that he attached great importance to ethics and filial piety, respected his father and brother, loved the elders and loved the young, and his virtues were widely spread.

Looking at the prince, he saw that his eyes were calm and he said slowly: "Oh... just when a big fish was caught, the third brother came... please come in."

Not long after, a tall and handsome man in his thirties strode in, and laughed loudly as soon as he entered the door: "How are you, brother?"

Jiang Fan took a look and couldn't help but praise.

This King of England is indeed handsome and extraordinary.

He is nine feet tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist. He wears a royal robe and a golden crown on his head. His forehead is full and his chin is round. He has sword-like eyebrows and tiger eyes, and his nose is tall and straight. He walks like a dragon and a tiger. Compared with the prince, he looks more like a dignified heir.

The prince raised his head slightly and glanced at him: "Fortunately, Third Brother is in a good mood today?"

The King of England smiled and said: "Good news, today I got a thousand-year-old ginseng king, I think it will be good for your health, so I specially sent it to you."

As he said that, he handed over the wooden box in his hand and opened it. It was indeed a top-grade ginseng with complete roots and full of spiritual energy.

The prince nodded: "Third brother, you are thoughtful."

The King of England put the ginseng aside and looked at Jiang Fan: "Does my brother have guests here today?"

Jiang Fan had already stood up and bowed: "Jiang Fan, meet His Royal Highness the King of England."

"Jiang Fan..."

The King of England thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Oh my! Isn't this Jiang Xiaoyao who was just conferred as the King of the West by my father?"

Jiang Fan had no choice but to say: "It is my humble servant."

The King of England hurriedly stepped forward and helped Jiang Fan up with his arms: "You are not a humble servant, you are a great minister, the King of the West appointed by my father, good, good, I have heard of you, the world's number one young talent, and I didn't expect to meet you here today. It's an honor, an honor!"

He is warm and cheerful, and his tone is sincere and unpretentious. It is indeed easy to make people like him. Compared with the cold and gloomy His Royal Highness the Prince, anyone would be willing to associate with such a person.

Jiang Fan hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I am so ashamed of your praise. It is my honor to meet you."

The King of England waved his hand: "Hey - what are you talking about? He is the most talented person in the world. Everyone wants to write a poem but cannot get one. He was awarded the title of double king at the age of twenty. This kind of person, I have admired for a long time."

He took Jiang Fan's hand and turned to look at the prince: "Brother, you are really a fool. You didn't inform me that such a person is a guest so that I can prepare a gift for the meeting."

Jiang Fan said: "Jiang Fan just arrived yesterday. He came to visit suddenly today, and His Royal Highness the Prince didn't know in advance."

"Oh? No one of them reported to my brother? This is a fuss! However, I just heard about it yesterday, but I didn't meet him because he was awarded the title yesterday. I thought I would go to see him after meeting my brother today, but I didn't want to go on the way. Come, Come, sit down and talk. "

The prince smiled faintly and said, "Third brother, you came just in time. I am competing with Mr. Jiang in fishing. Mr. Jiang will show his skills later and prepare to cook the harvest. You will have a good time."

The King of England clapped his hands: "Haha, it's better to come at the right time than to come early. Jiang Xiaoyao's food is unparalleled in the world, and it's not inferior to poetry. This king is lucky. I won't say anything more. I must drink all the good wine that my brother has hidden away today!"

The prince smiled and said, "You are really lucky today. Mr. Jiang sent me a few jars of peerless wine, which is enough to satisfy your craving."

The King of England said, "Jiang Xiaoyao's wine? My brother, you are really generous. If it were me, I would have dug a hole and hid it long ago. Haha..."

With this cheerful King of England, the atmosphere suddenly became much better. Although the prince was still taciturn, at least it was not as dull as before.

The King of England also wanted to participate in the two-person fishing competition, saying that since he was eating and drinking for free, he should always make some contribution.

But he couldn't sit still, so he chatted with Jiang Fan while fishing.

As they talked, they talked about Prime Minister Zhang.

"With a person like Mr. Jiang, it's no wonder that the Prime Minister values ​​him and takes him in as his disciple. When I heard the news from the Grand Master, I was very envious. Do you know that the old Prime Minister only had one registered disciple in his life, and that was Mr. Zhong today. Mr. Jiang is the only successor."

Jiang Fan said, "I am honored to be loved by the Prime Minister."

"This is luck. The old prime minister had no disciples in his life, and retired in his later years. He actually got a person like you. I am really happy for him. I wonder if the prime minister is doing well in Qin?"

"Thank you for your concern, Master is in good health, can eat and sleep well, and is happy fishing and talking about books every day."

"That's good. By the way, the Spring and Autumn Brush and Black and White Inkstone have also been passed on to the young master. With successors, you should naturally enjoy your old age. Oh, by the way, I heard last night that the young master also used this brush and inkstone to write a poem, which shocked the court."

Jiang Fan said modestly: "It is all your majesty's favor. Jiang Fan is ashamed to accept it."

"It's deserved, it's deserved. Since the prime minister retired, the Spring and Autumn Brush, Black and White Inkstone have been passed on to the young master. Bai Yan has not appeared in the court for more than two years. I believe that his father will miss him when he sees the things. Master Jiang knows that this pair of pens and inkstones represents the inheritance of the prime minister. It’s a pity that the master went to Qin, otherwise, Taiyue’s generation would have to be the master. "

Jiang Fan smiled and said, "Fate and fate, who can fully predict it?"

"That’s right, but I feel sorry for Taiyue that such a talent was not obtained. Oh, forget it, anyway, Master Jiang has entered the imperial court, and there will be opportunities sooner or later. However, I have to warn you that the Spring and Autumn pen and the black and white inkstone should not be written lightly."

Jiang Fan was stunned. Prime Minister Zhang had never said this, and he couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.
