Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Help me do something. Go and investigate that woman just now, ” Chu Heng said.
Lu Chuan was a little surprised. He did not expect Chu Heng to know that he had some skills. After all, ever since he was sold, he had never shown it. Even when Chu Heng bought him, the seller only said that he was stronger, so the price was two taels of silver more.
If they knew that he was skilled, the price would probably double.
Chu Heng was obviously a scholar, so how could he see through his disguise?
“What’s wrong?” Chu Heng turned around and looked at him.
Lu Chuan was shocked and quickly lowered his head. “Yes, your subordinate understands.”
Lu Chuan turned around and left. Chu Heng was not worried about him at all. He said to Zhang Shu, “Follow me with the carriage.”
“Yes, Master.” Zhang Shu and Madam Hu were genuine ordinary servants. They did not dare to have the slightest doubt about Chu Heng’s words, let alone ask more questions.
In the village, not long after Chu Heng left, Madam Liu had arrived.
This time, she did not bring Madam Zhang along and came alone.
“Madam Ye, how’s your health?” Madam Liu followed Ye Muyu in the study.
Seeing that Chu Ziluo was practicing her calligraphy obediently, she sighed.
“Ziluo is a smart child. It’s a good idea for you to come up with this method.” “However, won’t the handwriting look bad if she practices using water?” “Mother, take a seat first. I’ll pour you some tea.”
Madam Liu reached out and pulled Ye Muyu. “No need. I’m here to see how the banquet is prepared. I should at least arrange the tables and chairs first.”
“Your body has just recovered a little. Don’t torture yourself. Isn’t there herbal tea here? I’ll just drink a little.” Madam Liu took a clean cup and poured herself a cup of tea.
After taking a sip, Madam Liu was a little surprised. “What kind of tea is this?” “Mother, this is herbal tea. It’s made from Chinese herbs. It’s very comfortable to drink in summer.” Ye Muyu tried his best to explain it in a common way. Hearing this, Chu Liushi took another sip. “It’s indeed quite cooling.”
Ye Muyu smiled. Herbal tea was used to cool down the body. They usually ate a lot of chili at home. Coupled with the fact that the weather was getting hotter, she thought of herbal tea. She flipped through the medical book given by
Doctor Lu and asked Chu Heng to buy herbs for it.
There was not much, so they only drank it at home.
In the past, she would definitely drink the most common buckwheat tea in the summer because she had eaten too much meat to relieve her boredom and quench her thirst. However, here, she really had never enjoyed the time when she was tired of eating meat.
“Oh right, Mother, there are a few brushes here. Husband brought them back from school. He said that he made them himself. They are made of ordinary rabbit fur and are not worth much. However, they are very suitable for the children to practice writing.”
Ye Muyu opened the wooden box. There were many rabbit fur brushes inside.
Chu Heng really did bring the brush back. He said that he made it himself. Ye Muyu wondered since this man could cook and make brushes, could he even make clothes?
She did not know how he had the time to learn so many skills when he was studying in the county.
When Madam Liu heard that it was Chu Heng who made it and it was cheap, she instantly smiled from ear to ear. “Then Mother will thank you on behalf of the children.”
“Mother, there’s no need to be polite. With more scholars in the family, my husband will not be alone in the future. Moreover, this is my husband’s gift to thank the clan for their help..”
