Seeing this, Qian Zhuo was a little surprised. "What's this for?"
"The fish tank." Yun Shang walked over and said, "It's rare for me to catch a fish, so I have to keep it as a souvenir."
Qian Zhuo opened her mouth slightly, turned around and looked at Yun Shang. She couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes, "Raising fish?"
"Didn't you say that we would cook it?"
Yun Shang lowered her eyes and chuckled, "Are you afraid that there is no other fish in the kitchen? I will keep the fish I caught, and we can still have crucian for lunch. "
As Yun Shang spoke, she lowered her head and stroked the fish tank. "Is it the fanciest fish tank? Mr. Ming Hong is so considerate. I just keep a crucian that can be seen everywhere, but he specially get me this fish tank to raise it. "
Then she looked up at the servants who carried the fish tank and said, "Please express my thanks to Mr. Ming Hong."
The servants waved their hands and gestured for something.
It suddenly occurred to Yun Shang that Qian Zhuo had told her that the servants in the mansion were all deaf and illiterate. Yun Shang was afraid that they didn't know what she was talking about at all.
Yun Shang was in a daze for a moment, and a sneer appeared on her face. She waved her hand and said, "Nothing. You can leave now."
Those men seemed to understand what Yun Shang meant, so they bowed and left in a hurry.
Yun Shang squinted, lowered her eyes and thought for a while. Then she turned around and ordered Qian Zhuo, "Go get a basin of water and pour it into this fish tank. I've put the crucian in the bucket in the living room outside. After pouring the water, put the fish in it."
Qian Zhuo nodded and took out the washed handkerchief to hang it. Then she took two buckets of water, filled the fish tank and put the crucian in.
The crucian wagged its tail in the tank and swam quickly.
Yun Shang stood aside and watched for a while. Then she smiled softly, turned around and sat back on the chair.
At noon, the kitchen brought the food. Yun Shang walked to the table and glanced at it. She smiled, "Look, the crucian salad."
Qian Zhuo smiled and fetched Yun Shang a bowl of rice.
The second day, Mr. Ming Hong came again.
