Chapter 44 Fishing
In fact, Nangong Hua was no longer angry when he calmed down.
But when he thought about the trouble he and his wife had gone through, he really couldn't save face.
Unexpectedly, she forgot about this matter and even came to ask him if she could sell the flowers on the farm.
"Sell. It's just a few flowers and plants. You are the mistress, so you decide." He glanced at Pu Qiongzhi as if unintentionally, then looked at the book in his hand.
Hearing him say that, Pu Qiongzhi really smiled like a flower, "My husband treats me so well!"
Nangong Hua couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth, but his mouth was always one step faster than his brain, "How about comparing with the Ninth Prince?"
"Of course it's my uncle!" Pu Qiongzhi walked over with a smile.
Nangong Hua was ecstatic in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. "Shall we have fish tonight? Last year, I released fish fry in the Back Lake."
"Okay. I love fishing the most!" Pu Qiongzhi's problem was solved, and she was in high spirits.
Nangong Hua thought of his previous life, when the Ninth Prince told him that Concubine Pu had similar interests to him.
The Ninth Prince doesn't like fishing, but his wife just said that she loves fishing the most...
Madam must have been trying to coax the Ninth Prince that day, but now she is trying to coax him.
"It's okay if you don't like fishing. There are a lot of mosquitoes near the water." Nangong Hua spoke and paved the way for her.
Pu Qiongzhi was a little confused and didn't know what he meant by this.
"There's no need to force yourself to like something like this." Nangong Hua packed up his things and walked towards the back lake.
Pu Qiongzhi, Yan'er and Chunjing looked at each other in surprise.
"Did I force myself?" she asked.
Yan'er: "No."
Chun Jing: "Absolutely not."
Yan'er: "Hasn't Madam always loved fishing?"
Chun Jing: "Could it be that Uncle doesn't like fishing?"
Yan'er: "My uncle likes it."
Chun Jing: "How do you know Uncle likes it?"
Yan'er: "I asked Aunt Zhang from the village, and she said that Uncle comes here to fish from time to time."
"Okay, okay, stop thinking about it." Pu Qiongzhi rubbed his head. "It's better to do it than to think about it. Let's go fishing."
It was also the first time that Nangong Hua saw Pu Qiongzhi fishing.
She rolled up her sleeves with her arms, picked up a pole, wrapped the bait around it and threw it into the water. Then she fixed her beautiful eyes on the movements on the water.
"Madam, you won't catch any fish like this..." He shook his head helplessly and was about to say something to her.
Pu Qiongzhi's expression changed, and with a clever move, she picked up a lively fish and threw it into the fish basket beside her.
“???” Nangong Hua just froze in place, and all the words he was about to say were blocked.
Pu Qiongzhi then looked at him and smiled sweetly, "What does Uncle want to say?"
"It's okay." Nangong Hua's smile froze on his face. "I didn't expect you to really..."
"I was born in Jiangnan, a land of plenty, and traveled extensively with my father, often traveling by water." She explained softly with a smile, "My father even praised my natural ability to catch fish!"
As she spoke, she caught a fish.
Nangong Hua was stunned and even began to doubt his own fishing skills.
"Madam loves fishing! Especially those shop owners, many of them also like fishing. Whenever they want to discuss business, those shop owners who are usually arrogant, when they see our madam's skills, have to chase after her and ask for advice!" Yan'er boasted proudly for his wife.
Being a maid requires good judgment. She has said this many times and has become very proficient at it.
"..." Nangong Hua's thoughts were distracted at this moment.
If the Madam really likes fishing so much, then weren't all the words she said to the Ninth Prince in her previous life just to coax him?
Thinking back to his previous life, every time he saw his wife, she could not smile, and sometimes even sighed with sadness.
That time in the palace, in the back garden, she, as a noble concubine, almost said that she didn't want to be confined...
This is also the reason why he dared to make great efforts to plan and snatch people from the Ninth Prince after his rebirth.
He knew clearly that the Ninth Prince was not a good match for his wife!
However, he was not sure whether the lady was interested in him.
If not, he would be reluctant, but also willing to give her a free life.
He couldn't explain these words to his wife at the moment, but he was already trying, hoping that his wife could see his feelings.
But it was just a coincidence that he liked fishing and his wife liked it too.
The two of them are simply a perfect match!
Pu Qiongzhi didn't know that he was thinking of this at the moment. She just watched his rod shaking continuously. He was still staring at the water surface without being moved, so she went straight to help him reel in the rod.
“…Ouch! What’s wrong?” Nangong Hua was startled by her and came to his senses.
Pu Qiongzhi shook her head helplessly, "Uncle, you scared all the fish away! How can we catch any fish like this? What will we get for dinner?"
“…” Nangong Hua picked up his fishing rod and saw that the bait had been eaten up long ago.
Now I’ve made a big fool of myself in front of my wife. How embarrassing!
He quietly pinched his thigh to wake himself up and focus on fishing.
But this afternoon, apart from the fish that just escaped, there was no movement on his rod.
On the other hand, Pu Qiongzhi, who was sitting next to him, was fishing one fish after another, and soon her fish basket was full.
As the sky gradually darkened, Pu Qiongzhi lost interest. "Chun Jing, go give it to Granny Qian. You don't have to cook them all, leave a few for them to try!"
"Yes!" Chunjing happily carried a basket full of fish to the kitchen.
Nangong Hua didn't want to return home disappointed, but he really didn't catch any fish.
It was dark now and he was hungry.
Pu Qiongzhi lowered her head to look at him, "Uncle, shall we go back?"
"Master is truly kind. I've heard of monks cutting off their flesh to feed eagles, but I never thought Master would not even be willing to eat fish."
"However, I have already caught all the fish. Please leave some for them to reunite with their families."
Nangong Hua was almost amused by her words.
"What are you talking about? Did you separate the family by fishing?"
Pu Qiongzhi blinked, "Originally, this was a family's worth of fish. I caught this fish for my second uncle, so I have to keep some for my second aunt!"
"Spring is the season for fish to breed, so you can't fish too hard, otherwise it will be time to replenish the fry!"
After hearing what she said, Nangong Hua felt that there was some truth in it.
"In that case, I have to be a kind person today and give these fish some hope."
Pu Qiongzhi had fooled the man and said with satisfaction, "Master, you are wise."
"Let's go back quickly. I really feel a little cold here right now."
She was wearing thin clothes and felt chilled by the cold wind.
Nangong Hua knew that she was weak, so he quickly put the cloak he had prepared on her.
"It's a chilly night. I was so caught up in my fishing that I forgot my wife couldn't stand the cold."
