The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

She took out the old books and arithmetic problems she had prepared, and guided the two children step by step, helping them to understand and master the knowledge.

"This is the character for 'sun', pronounced 'ri'."

Shen Yan pointed at the card and demonstrated the pronunciation. "And this is a simple question. Look, if there are three apples, plus two apples, how many apples are there in total?"

Wang Jun and Wang Lin listened carefully, thinking and learning hard.

They asked Shen Yan for advice from time to time, and Shen Yan patiently answered every question and encouraged them to explore and learn bravely.

During the learning process, Shen Yan also taught Wang Jun and Wang Lin some common sense and moral norms in life, such as how to be polite to others.

Time passed quietly, and Wang Jun and Wang Lin's eyes were filled with a sense of accomplishment and confidence.

After teaching Wang Jun and Wang Lin in the morning, Shen Yan continued her embroidery work.

She embroidered flowers and small animals, and every stitch was so delicate, as if she was painting a beautiful picture.

Time passed quickly and it was already noon.

At noon, Shen Yan and Nanny Zhang prepared lunch together.

They were busy in the kitchen, preparing some sumptuous dishes, including a dish of deep-fried pig brains.

Shen Yan first washed the fresh pig brain, removed the blood vessels and impurities, and then soaked it in salt water for a while to remove the fishy smell. Then, she took out the pig brain, rinsed it with clean water, and cut it into small, uniform pieces.

On the other side, Aunt Zhang had already prepared flour and egg liquid. Shen Yan dipped the cut pig brain pieces in flour, then in egg liquid, making sure each pig brain piece was evenly coated with a thin layer of flour and egg liquid.

Next, Shen Yan heated up a pan of oil, put in the pig brain pieces coated with flour and egg liquid, and fried them over medium heat until golden and crispy.

Remove the fried pig brain pieces from the oil, place them on a plate, and wait for them to cool before eating.

While Shen Yan and Aunt Zhang were frying pig brains together, they exchanged cooking experiences and daily trivia from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Finally, a dish of fried pig brain with fragrant aroma, good color and delicious taste was completed. It was placed on the stone table in the yard, exuding an enticing aroma, making people salivate.

Shen Yan herself didn't expect that she could win so many people's love by cooking delicious food.

But these days I've been eating meat, and the parts with more fat, which is really too greasy.

Shen Yan felt that if this continued, her plan to lose weight would be ruined.

That's why she took the children to the back mountain to pick wild vegetables last night.

Although a vegetable garden has been established at home, the seeds have not yet grown, and it will take a long time before the vegetables can be harvested.

In order to eat some vegetarian food, Shen Yan had to go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables.

Song Yunfeng said that he could buy groceries when he came back, but Shen Yan didn't want him to spend that money, not to mention that the family was not well off.

He was a small county magistrate of the seventh rank, with only a little money, and he had to deal with social interactions on a daily basis. Shen Yan didn't want to spend his money.

Despite this, when Song Yunfeng came back from the county government office, he would bring some for Shen Yan if he came across anything delicious or fun on the way.

Shen Yan originally thought that she was only his wife in name only, and that the two of them would get divorced sooner or later.

Unexpectedly, they are now living the life of a normal couple. Although they still respect each other, they feel much closer.

After finishing her breakfast in the morning, Shen Yan went to the backyard as usual to look for Aunt Wang.

But today, in addition to taking the two children over, she also had an unreasonable request.

"Mrs. Shen is here, come on, please take a seat." Aunt Wang was very enthusiastic when she saw Shen Yan, and she was like this for several days in a row.

"Aunt, today, in addition to bringing Wang Jun and Lin'er to my place, I also have something I want to tell you."

"Mrs. Shen, just tell me what you want to say. You've helped me so much, and I should help you since you let these two kids bother you every day."

Aunt Wang was very kind. She had always thought that Shen Yan was a nice girl, and she helped her take care of her children every day. She was very grateful to her.

Shen Yan nodded and said, "The weather is good now, but the vegetables I planted haven't sprouted yet. I was wondering if I could buy some vegetables from you?"

"Why are you being so polite? I grew them all myself. They're free." Aunt Wang agreed generously. "If you want to eat them, just come and pick them anytime. Eat as much as you want. It's free."

"No, Second Aunt, if you don't want money, I won't dare ask you for anything in the future." Shen Yan had a serious look on her face. She just wanted Second Aunt Wang to accept the money before she would eat her food.

After all, Aunt Wang's family was not well off, and they just had some vegetables.

Aunt Wang smiled, waved her hand and said, "Mrs. Shen, what you said is wrong. You are the eldest lady of the Song family. How can I charge you for such a small dish? Besides, you often help look after these two children. This little favor is nothing."

Seeing that Aunt Wang insisted on not taking any money, Shen Yan had to say a few more words, saying that she felt embarrassed to take it for free, but Aunt Wang still insisted on not taking any money.

Eventually, Shen Yan realized that it was useless to persist, so she thanked him politely and promised to help take care of the child more in the future.

"Okay, then I won't be polite, auntie. I'll come to your place to pick vegetables when I need them in the future."

Shen Yan looked at Aunt Wang Er and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

"Okay, let's do it." Aunt Wang smiled, picked up a kitchen knife and continued to work.

Shen Yan stood up and said to Aunt Wang Er, "Then I will take the children away first, and I will come to help later."

"Okay, take care." Aunt Wang said goodbye to Shen Yan and the two children.

On the way back, Shen Yan, Wang Jun and Wang Lin chatted about what had just happened, and happily talked about the fresh vegetables from Aunt Wang's house.

When they got home, Shen Yan asked the two children to go to the study to review their homework while she was busy cleaning up the mess from lunch.

This home, although simple, is full of warmth and happiness.

During this period, after communicating with Aunt Wang Er, Shen Yan learned about the situation of other people in the alley.

She plans to set up a stall at the entrance of the alley to do business in the future. After all, she can cook so many delicious foods, it would be a shame not to do some small business.

Although she is Song Yunfeng's wife, it is well known that the county magistrate has no money.

Shen Yan had just gotten married. As for some of the things that happened in the past, they all happened in her mother's home. Thinking about them now, it seems like a lifetime ago.

As a time traveler, it's a good thing that I traveled through time at the critical moment of getting married, otherwise many things would not match up and I might be suspected.

But it’s better now, I will have fresh vegetables to eat in the future.

Shen Yan saved a lot of effort by not having to go to the back mountain to dig wild vegetables. In the near future, he can concentrate on the painting of Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl.

After I finish embroidering this picture and get the final payment, my life will be much better.
