Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

  Chapter 472 Go to the old house

  I heard the sound of beating in my ears.

  Ye Muyu finished writing quickly.

  Afterwards, the steps of making ink are also recorded verbatim.

  By the time she finished her work, Zhang Shu had already beaten the ink clay, and just put it in a box to hold it in shape.

  Seeing Ye Muyu coming out, he was so hot that he was sweating profusely. He didn't react until Mrs. Hu reminded him that he hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and saluted respectfully.

   "Uncle Zhang, go down and rest for a while, you are busy enough today." Ye Muyu ordered.

  Zhang Shu smiled honestly: "Thank you, madam."

   As he said that, he walked away quickly, and when he got close to his wife, he could smell the light fragrance of flowers. How could it be like him, his whole body smelled of sweat after spraying the ink.

  Zhang Shu, who had always lived a rough life, suddenly felt ashamed of himself.

   hurried to wash himself clean.

   "Ma'am, I just went out and heard from Mrs. Liu that there are grapefruits with yellow skins, do you want to buy them?" Mrs. Hu asked while cleaning up the dried vegetables in the yard.

  Ye Muyu thought, since she has nothing to do now, she can make more honey citron tea and sell it.

   There are not many dried vegetables in the yard, and they are gathered together, only a cloth bag.

  Hu took the copper plate and hurried to the villager's house to collect grapefruits.

  Zhang Shu cleaned up, changed his clothes, and went to water the sansho tree.

  Everyone was busy with their own work, Ye Muyu brewed three cans of honey grapefruit tea, and the sky gradually darkened.

  After Chu Jin got home, she started preparing dinner with Mrs. Hu.

  Chu Jin ran to the kitchen in two or three steps, and whispered, "Mother, Uncle Xing paid me my wages."

   "The money is mine, right?"

  Ye Muyu nodded lightly, with a smile in his eyes: "It's yours, if you want your mother to keep it for you, that's fine."

   She was joking on purpose in the last sentence.

  Chu Jin really took a step back, and frantically waved his hands: "No need, mother, it is very laborious for you to manage too much money. As a son, I should help you share it."

   "Okay, mother is kidding you, you go to the study to read, your father will check when he comes back tonight, and dinner is almost ready after finishing homework."

   "Mother, I understand." Chu Jin quickly ran back to the room and put all the copper coins into the small treasury.

  Looking at the wooden box filled with more than half of the copper plates, Chu Jin pawed for a long time, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

   After seeing it to my heart's content, I hid the wooden box again.

  Even if I went to do my homework, the smile on my face never came down, and I was silly for a while from time to time.

  Ye Muyu had heard about his little move, but did not intervene.

  Chu Heng came back early today, and got home before it was completely dark.

  Ye Muyu didn't see fatigue on his face, so it can be seen that the empress died this time, and it really didn't affect the rural examination.

   "The rice is just cooked, go wash your hands and eat." Ye Muyu came out of the kitchen, holding a plate of stir-fried green beans.

  Although slaughter is prohibited, there is lard at home, and stir-fried vegetables are also delicious.

  She prepared meals for the two children and Chu Heng in different ways.

  No fresh meat dishes at night.

  There is only the pheasant meat that was not finished at noon.

  Ye Muyu simply tore the chicken nuggets into chicken shreds and made them into cold chicken shreds.

  Successfully received the satisfaction of the whole family.

  After dinner, Chu Heng turned his head to Ye Muyu and said, "I'll go to the old house later."

   "Tell me about the ink making. Last time I opened the business, I was busy, so I didn't have time to tell the elder brother and the second brother." Chu Heng explained.

  Ye Muyu knew it well, and also knew that in this era, individuals and families complement each other.
