The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Wang Lin always stayed by her side and played, so Shen Yan drove her to the yard, saying that such a young girl should not learn embroidery, otherwise it would hurt her eyes.

Wang Jun was older and more sensible. He took his sister around to collect firewood, catch fish, chop wood, etc.

Wang Lin followed him like a little tail, calling him "brother" all the time. The brother and sister were very happy.

Wang Jun and Wang Lin held hands and came to the stream.

They were wearing simple clothes, with innocent smiles on their faces, looking very childlike.

"Brother, can we catch a lot of fish?" Wang Lin asked excitedly, her eyes sparkling with a desire for adventure.

"Of course, let's set up traps and we're sure to catch a lot!" Wang Jun said proudly, and he pulled his sister under the shade of a tree.

Wang Jun found a thin branch, picked up some thin rope and straw, and started to make a fishing tool. He bent the branch into a small bend, tied the rope at one end, and cleverly tied some straw to it, as if he had built a small fishing device.

"Brother, what is this?" Wang Lin asked curiously. She moved closer to her brother and stared at Wang Jun's hand.

"This is our fishing tool. When we put it into the water, the fish will be attracted and we can catch them!" Wang Jun explained proudly, showing off his masterpiece.

Wang Jun and Wang Lin carefully placed the fishing tools beside the stream, and then sat on the bank and waited. After a while, a small fish was attracted and rolled up by the rope wrapped with straw.

"Wow, we caught a fish!" Wang Lin shouted happily and jumped up excitedly.

Wang Jun took the small fish out with a smile, and then put the fishing tool back into the water, ready to catch it again. They played and learned, constantly trying various methods, sometimes catching with their hands, sometimes with a net, sometimes with fishing tools, and then dug a small hole by the water to make a trap.

They spent a pleasant afternoon with laughter and caught baskets of small fish.

It was soon dark.

Only then did Shen Yan realize that she had been embroidering for the entire afternoon.

She was preparing to cook when Wang Jun came back with a small bucket in his hand.

"Sister Shen, look, we're back from catching fish."

Shen Yan looked down and saw that the buckets in the hands of the two children were full of lively little fish.

"It's just right. We can have crucian carp soup tonight."

Shen Yan took the bucket, shook it gently, and watched the fish playing in the water with joy. She smiled slightly, admiring the innocence and liveliness of the brother and sister. Then, she picked up the bucket and walked into the kitchen, ready to start making delicious crucian carp soup.

She first took out some fresh vegetables, including carrots, cabbage and potatoes, washed and sliced ​​them for later use. Then, she lit the stove, placed a large pot on the fire, and added water. When the water temperature rose to a suitable level, she gently put the small fish into the pot, listening to the sound of the small fish playing in the water, as if telling the joy of the day.

Then, Shen Yan grabbed a handful of salt and sprinkled it into the pot to season the crucian carp. She stirred it gently, allowing the fish meat to fully absorb the salt and keep it fresh and tender. Then, she added the chopped vegetables and boiled them with the crucian carp, releasing a strong aroma.

The crucian carp soup slowly cooking in the pot exudes an alluring aroma that fills the entire kitchen. Shen Yan gently closed her eyes, enjoying the tranquility and warmth of this moment.

When the soup became thick, the vegetables were tender and tasty, and the fish was fragrant and tempting, Shen Yan put out the firewood, took out a pottery pot, and ladled the crucian carp soup into it. She blew gently to let the hot steam rise, then picked up the pot and slowly poured the soup into the bowl.

"Wang Jun, Wang Lin, the crucian carp soup is ready!"

Shen Yan called out to the two children softly. They smelled the fragrance and ran over with smiles on their faces.

She pickled some vegetables a few days ago and just served some out to eat in the evening.

The rice steamed at noon can be made into porridge in the evening, which is another delicious meal.

Shen Yan placed the bowl of crucian carp soup on the table. The fragrance was so fragrant that it made people salivate.

She then took out a large bowl and prepared to make porridge.

She poured the steamed rice from noon into a bowl and rinsed it with clean water several times until the water became clear.

Then, Shen Yan soaked the rice in clean water, allowing it to absorb moisture and give off a sweet flavor.

She gently stirred the rice grains, letting them slide in the water, feeling the warmth between her fingers.

Then, Shen Yan placed the large bowl on the fire, lit the flame, and let the water temperature gradually rise.

She kept stirring the rice to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. When the water began to bubble slightly, she turned down the heat and let the rice cook slowly.

Beside the fire, Shen Yan was concentrating on watching over the large bowl, stirring the rice grains from time to time to ensure that they were heated evenly.

Her movements were gentle and skillful, as if she was playing a melodious piece of music.

When the rice grains in the large bowl became soft and transparent, Shen Yan took out a wooden spoon and gently scooped the porridge into the bowl.

She felt the temperature of the porridge and smiled, as if she felt the warmth and happiness of home.

"Wang Jun, Wang Lin, the porridge is ready!"

Shen Yan called the two children softly. They smelled the aroma of rice and immediately ran over, sitting at the table with smiles on their faces, looking forward to tasting this delicious meal.

Shen Yan watched the two children eating porridge, feeling satisfied and relieved.

On the other hand, seeing that Shen Yan's life was getting better and better, Zhao couldn't sit still anymore.

She came to apologize hypocritically and acted very ugly.

Zhao carried a small basket filled with some rotten fruits and rice cakes and carefully knocked on Shen Yan's door.

She was a little hesitant, after all, her intention of coming this time was a bit hypocritical, but in order to curry favor with Shen Yan, she decided to go and apologize.

When Shen Yan heard the knock on the door, his heart moved slightly and he got up to open the door.

When she saw Zhao standing at the door, her brows frowned slightly, but she still politely invited her into the house.

After Zhao came in, she looked around and noticed that Shen Yan's stool had been kicked and broken, so she pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah, what happened to this stool? Who is so careless?"

Shen Yan smiled faintly, knowing Zhao's intentions, but still keeping a calm attitude, "This stool was kicked and broken a few days ago, but it doesn't matter, I have fixed it."

In fact, this was deliberately broken when Mr. Shen came a few days ago, and Zhao was just pretending.

Seeing this, Zhao pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah, how come I didn't know? I'm so sorry that you took the trouble to fix such a small thing."

Shen Yan looked at Zhao coldly, secretly alert in her heart.

She knew Zhao had bad intentions, but she didn't want to get entangled with her.
