Chapter 14 Fish Catch
In the Buddhist temple, Song Jinhe was dressed in plain clothes, kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, holding a pen in his hand, copying Buddhist scriptures.
"Madam! Madam—"
The housekeeper's hurried voice came from a distance.
Nanny Jin, who was serving nearby, rushed out and quietly scolded, "Housekeeper Zhou! Madam is copying Buddhist scriptures for the Duke, please don't shout!"
Butler Zhou raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead and quickly lowered his voice.
"Madame Jin was right. I was reckless, but there was a reason for it. In Yuzhu Garden, the golden carp that Madam had us carefully care for was snatched away by the cat that the prince brought back!"
Song Jinhe heard whispers coming from the door and vaguely heard the words "Prince" and "Cat".
"What's going on?"
A cold voice rang out, causing Butler Zhou to bow hastily. "Madam, the golden carp in the pond you asked us to take good care of just got snatched away by the prince's cat!"
Butler Zhou's mind was still replaying the scene of the cat catching the fish. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.
The cat that Zi Yang brought back appeared in Song Jinhe's mind.
The body is round and the eyes are bright.
And now the housekeeper says that the cat took away the fish she raised?
Song Jinhe went to see the fish in the pond a few days ago. Every one of them was growing well, and some were even almost stronger than the cat.
"The cat took the fish?"
The expression on Song Jinhe's face froze, and there seemed to be some disbelief in his voice.
Butler Zhou nodded frantically, "It's true, Madam! Not only did I see it at the time, but everyone around the prince also saw it."
This pond of golden carp was bought specially to please his wife when the Duke was still alive.
Therefore, the lady attaches great importance to it.
Song Jinhe could hear the tension in the housekeeper's words, but without much anger on her face, she said calmly, "It's nothing. If the cats like it, catch two more and send them to Zhanmo Courtyard."
It was just a few fish. The cat saved her son Zi Yang. Let alone a few fish, even if she wanted other rare treasures, she would have someone find them for her.
When the butler heard what his master said, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. He said nothing more, just said "yes" and walked out.
When Nanny Jin heard that her wife was going to catch a few more fish to send over, she said with reluctance in her eyes, "Madam, those were found for you by the Duke. You..."
Song Jinhe gathered the shawl around her arms and said calmly, "If he knew that this cat saved Zi Yang, perhaps all the golden carp in the pond would be sent to Zhan Moyuan."
Nanny Jin said no more, her heart filled with pity. Yes, the Duke was such a good man, how could God be so cruel, leaving this orphan and widow to support this family for a hundred years.
Everyone envies the Duke of Wei's mansion for its boundless favor and precious wealth, but who knows that since ancient times, the favor of the aristocratic families has always been resigned to the imperial power.
Such grace is sometimes a sin.
At this moment in Zhanmo Courtyard, Wei Rong took a fine handkerchief, dipped it in water, and carefully wiped the paws of the cat in his arms, even the gaps between the nails were not spared.
The porcelain-white jade hand pinched the cat's paw, and the sharp nails were exposed from the fleshy pad.
Shen Shi, who was holding a basin of water, also noticed Ah Fu's sharp claws.
"Prince, does Ah Fu need some scissors to trim his claws?"
Yun Fu, who was lying in the man's arms with her belly exposed, couldn't help but struggle when she heard these words.
This is a cat's instinctive physiological reaction.
"No, this is Ah Fu's capital for self-defense. If I cut it, I won't be able to catch anyone who doesn't have eyes."
The words coming from above her head instantly calmed the struggling Yun Fu. Looking at the man with lowered eyebrows, wiping her claws carefully, Yun Fu couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster.
My ears felt a little hot and had a faint pink tint.
"Meow~" You're right~
Yun Fu was right about the guy. She had spent half an hour squatting by the pond to catch this fish to nourish him.
This man is handsome and gentle, and now he is still thinking about her. He is simply in Yun Fu's heart.
Yun Fu decided to catch a few more fish to nourish Wei Rong!
Shen Shi looked at this scene and felt that the prince in front of him had refreshed his cognition again and again since he raised this little thing.
Looking at the half-dead golden carp on the table, Shen Shi spoke carefully.
"Prince, what should we do with the golden carp that Ah Fu brought back? It was brought back from the pond in Yuzhu Garden~"
Shen Shi specifically emphasized the three words "Yuzhuyuan" to remind the prince that this was the golden carp that his wife treasured most.
Wei Rong wiped Ah Fu's paws. The pads of his paws were pink and soft. After wiping them clean, he did not let go and still held him.
After hearing Shen Shi's words, he looked at the fish on the low table and ordered calmly, "Send it to the kitchen and stew it. Use less oil and salt. I will talk to mother myself."
As soon as Wei Rong finished speaking, the voice of a servant reporting came from the door.
"Sir, Steward Zhou requests an audience."
Soon, Zishi brought Butler Zhou into the yard.
Behind Butler Zhou followed two young and strong servants.
Two servants were carrying a green fish tank with lotus patterns.
Butler Zhou bowed, "My Lord, Madam sent me three plump and strong golden carp, saying... for your cat to enjoy."
After saying that, she accidentally glanced at the cat in the prince's arms.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this cat was so beautiful, even more beautiful than the Persian cats and other cats from foreign countries that he had seen.
No wonder the Madam and the Prince dote on her so much.
Yun Fu immediately realized that the fish she caught was raised by Wei Rong's mother!
Not only was she caught, but Wei Rong's mother didn't blame her and even had someone send a few more for her to play with!
The beauty's mother is not only a great beauty, but also so kind-hearted!
Yun Fu felt like she was about to faint from happiness~
This was the first time Yun Fu felt that there was nothing wrong with becoming a cat.
Not just good, it's great!!
It’s simply the pinnacle of a cat’s life!
Wei Rong looked at the three golden carps sent by Butler Zhou. Each one was fat and strong, which showed that they were all well caught.
"Thank mother for me. I'll accept the fish on Ah Fu's behalf."
Butler Zhou quickly agreed and then took his men away from Zhanmo Courtyard.
At this time, Yun Fu had already broken free from Wei Rong's arms and came to the large green fish tank. She stared at the three big fat fish swimming in the tank with her eyes wide open.
One steamed, one braised, one fried!!!
Wei Rong looked at the cat standing upright beside the fish tank, and his eyes couldn't help but become a little softer. He leaned on the door railing and looked at the cat lying on the fish tank, using its claws to play with the water.
This scene was so harmonious that even the secret guards hiding around the yard couldn't help but watch secretly.
Just as everyone was immersed in this heartwarming scene, a big fat fish in the bathtub suddenly jumped out of the tank, opened its mouth and bit the evil claw that was teasing them.
Yun Fu was half lying next to the fish tank. The sudden change caught her off guard and she was directly dragged into the fish tank by the fish.
The people who witnessed this scene——
Wei Rong:!!!
Shen Shi:!!!
Zishi: ...
