Chapter 30 Join
Cheng Weiyao was a person who couldn't sit still. After sitting next to Wen Liyu for a while, she walked to the river.
There were still a lot of small fish caught by the children in the wooden barrel by the river. Because they were small and at the level of fry, they were not counted at all when grilling the fish.
Looking at the occasional fish shadows swaying in the bucket, her mind moved, and she activated her spiritual sense to try to catch the fish and put it into the bucket of QQ Farm.
The fish pond in QQ Farm needs to be unlocked at a high level. She plans to stock up on some river fish fry first. After all, they are river fish, different from the products of modern farms. The natural taste cannot be missed!
Cheng Weiyao's busy and secretive appearance of collecting fish fry appeared in everyone's eyes as she was staring at the river in a daze, feeling lonely. Wen Liyu felt a little soft-hearted when she saw this, and took the grilled fish that Cheng Weiyao had put down earlier and walked over.
"Eat something. I barely took a few bites of the hot food before the officials called me away to serve them. Although it's definitely not as good as when it was freshly baked, it's still better than dry food..."
Her movements in handing the fish were stiff and her tone was arrogant, but Cheng Weiyao still smiled with relief.
After these days of careful training, the changes in my sister-in-law are still very obvious. At least, now she knows how to care for others...
She took the grilled fish from Wen Liyu's hand, and voices of people praising its deliciousness came one after another. Cheng Weiyao was looking at some unfinished river fish in the wooden barrel, thinking about the next steps.
The officials' harassment will only get worse. I don't know if I will have the chance to fish leisurely like I do now. It would be a pity to throw the remaining fish back into the river. Why not make them into dried fish?
Cheng Weiyao finished the grilled fish in two bites and picked up the knife again. She removed the head and scales of the fish, cleaned it, cut it open from the back, and put it in water. She waited until it cooled down before taking it out.
While waiting for the fish to cool down, Wen Chengming had already finished eating the grilled fish. He jumped from the side of the imperial concubine to the side of Cheng Weiyao. His clear big eyes looked at the water in the pot and the processed fish meat on the side, and asked curiously.
"Auntie, are you going to make fish soup?"
After all, there was steam coming out of the pot, so it was not surprising that Wen Chengming would think so.
"Little greedy creature, I see you want to drink fish soup? It's a pity that my sister-in-law is making dried fish. After the water cools down, she needs to soak the fish meat in water for about half an hour, then take it out to dry and string it with a rope to hang it in the sun..."
Cheng Weiyao was patient. She reached out and rubbed Wen Chengming's little head, explaining gently.
This intimate interaction was seen by the Imperial Noble Consort who was resting nearby. These days, Wen Chengming would run to Cheng Weiyao whenever he had time. The little girl who used to be the most attached to her suddenly changed the person she was attached to. As a mother, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
"Mother, do you want me to call Cheng Ming back?"
Wen Liyu was sitting right next to the Imperial Noble Consort, so she could naturally see her expression. Although she had a good impression of Cheng Weiyao now, it was absolutely impossible for her to surpass her mother!
She was not like her younger brother who was young and easily fooled. She was attracted by anything new, so she stood up immediately and planned to call Wen Chengming back.
"No need, let them go. We are all family. It doesn't matter who takes Cheng Ming. The most important thing is that Cheng Ming is happy." The imperial concubine waved her hand and gently pulled Wen Liyu's sleeve to signal her to sit down.
In the past, she lived a life of luxury in the deep palace, facing the square sky every day, and the children were basically taken care of by nannies. Not to mention that Wen Chengming, who was young, found it boring, even she, who was almost numb, felt annoyed, and naturally had no intention of competing for favor.
In the first days of her exile, she was indeed a little at a loss, and for a while she missed the beautiful cage in the deep palace, but as time went by, she gradually let it go.
Although life was a bit hard these days, Wen Chengming was obviously smiling more often. Besides, training with Cheng Weiyao wasn't a bad thing. If things got tougher in the future, he would be able to adapt better...
"Mother! Just spoil him. You're just too good-tempered. Father's perfunctory approach is fine, but why did you allow even your younger brother to abduct Cheng Weiyao, an outsider?"
Wen Liyu originally had no opinion on this matter, but when the Imperial Concubine spoke on Cheng Weiyao's side, her rebellious heart arose.
It’s okay that my younger brother is attracted by new things, after all, the two of them have a lot of contact, but my mother has never had much communication with Cheng Weiyao, so when did she win her heart?
When she was in the palace, she noticed that her mother had no intention of competing for favor. Strangely enough, her father would come over from time to time and never completely forgot about her...
But if he could seize the favor, at least this time of exile, his mother would not have to suffer with him and could just stay in the palace and enjoy herself.
"What's the point of snatching or not? She's an outsider or not. After all, she's your sister-in-law and a member of the Qingping Palace. Why don't we just join her?"
The Imperial Concubine stood up, patted her clothes, and walked towards Cheng Weiyao and Wen Chengming.
The dried fish couldn't be prepared in a short time, so Cheng Weiyao and Wen Chengming started to wander around the area looking for wild vegetables. Grilled fish is a meat dish after all, so it's better to eat a balanced diet of meat and vegetables...
The most common wild vegetable in the wild is shepherd's purse. It occupies almost half of the wild vegetables and can survive tenaciously in most areas.
Cheng Weiyao first set an example for Wen Chengming by digging up a mustard plant herself. She had intended to share one with Wen Chengming as a reference, but when she turned around, she saw Naituanzi running away excitedly. It was obvious that he had learned a new skill and was eager to brush up on his proficiency...
"Sister-in-law, look at this, it looks very similar to me!"
Not long after, Wen Chengming found the target, squatted in front of a pile of plants, waved excitedly and asked questions. He didn't know what wild vegetables were, and this was the first time he heard his sister-in-law talk about them.
"No, Cheng Ming, look carefully. The one in your sister-in-law's hand is different from the one under the tree..."
The gentle voice of the Imperial Concubine came from behind. When Cheng Weiyao came to her senses, she found that the Imperial Concubine and Wen Liyu had joined the team looking for wild vegetables at some point.
"You are weak, why don't you take a rest?"
Cheng Weiyao was a little surprised, her brows furrowed slightly. If Wen Chengyun saw this, wouldn't his favorability with her decrease? Currently, he only knew that increasing favorability would increase points. If it decreased, would the points be deducted?
Seeing Cheng Weiyao frown, the Imperial Concubine thought she was worried about her health, so she gave her a reassuring look: "It's okay. It's not good to be inactive all the time. It's a good opportunity for me to learn from you so as not to drag you and Cheng Yun down..."
