Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“There are some for the other branches.”
When Madam Liu saw this, she was even more satisfied. In the past, although
Chu Heng was obedient and knew how to study, she was still worried about Madam Ye. Now that she saw Madam Ye’s personality change and her relationship with Chu Heng had become better, Madam Liu could not stop smiling.
“Alright, you guys can do whatever you want.” Madam Liu smiled and accepted the brush.
Then, she praised Chu Ziluo.
Chu Ziluo smiled happily.
“By the way, Madam Ye, how did you make this herbal tea? The weather tomorrow was just nice, so the herbal tea was very comfortable. It was also good for entertaining guests.”
Madam Liu and Ye Muyu discussed the banquet for tomorrow.
Ye Muyu saw that Madam Liu had taken the initiative to bring it up. She thought for a while and said, ‘Mother, if you think it’s suitable, arrange it. If it’s decided, boil the tea tonight and put it in the well. When it’s taken out tomorrow, the temperature will be just right.”
“Alright, let’s do this. Old Third will definitely buy some wine. We don’t drink alcohol, so this herbal tea is just right.”
Madam Liu and Ye Muyu discussed for two hours before deciding on the dishes.
According to the standard of a banquet in the countryside, there should be eight dishes.
Madam Liu knew more than Ye Muyu. Whether it was her previous life or the memories of her original host, she did not know much about the rules of the village banquet. Seeing that Madam Liu obviously knew a lot, she did not interrupt. After discussing it, she found a piece of paper and wrote down the dishes. It was settled.
Madam Liu watched Ye Muyu pick up the brush calmly. Although her handwriting was not very beautiful and could only be described as beginner’s, her handwriting was not shaky at all.
Madam Liu’s eyes flashed with envy, ‘Madam Ye, how long have you been practicing writing? You’re making rapid progress.”
“Oh Mother, you must be joking. After I married my husband, I would learn a little from time to time. Husband said that my words were barely readable and not good.” Ye Muyu did not think that there was anything to be proud of about being able to write with a brush. In modern times, as long as one was willing to learn, it would not be too difficult. However, there were too few opportunities to learn calligraphy in Great Chu. Madam Liu was a woman, so under such circumstances, she respected her.
Madam Liu waved her hand. “It’s nothing. I haven’t written for so many years. Now, my hands are shaky when I hold a brush.”
As the two of them were talking, Chu Xing came back and knocked on the courtyard door.
“This must be Ah Xing. He probably bought something and came back. Let’s go and take a look.” Madam Liu walked in front.
Ye Muyu told Chu Ziluo to write in peace and she followed Madam Liu out.
Ye Muyu walked slowly. When she arrived, the gate was already open and Chu Xing had just jumped down from the mule cart.
“Third Aunt, I came back first. Brother Heng is still waiting for me in the county to drive the mule cart to pull things.”
“You bought so much?” Madam Liu was shocked, but she was only surprised for a moment. “Ah Xing, go in and drink some water first.”
Ye Muyu also saw many things on the carriage.
There were not many vegetables to eat at home, so Chu Heng bought some cheaper radishes and other vegetables.
However, the vegetables were the least of what he bought. After all, although they did not have any at home, they had some at the old residence.
Madam Liu moved all the items into the courtyard, and Ye Muyu helped.
When Madam Liu saw this, she worriedly reminded, “Third Daughter-in-law, you don’t have to be busy. Just take care of your own body.”
“Mother, I know. Don’t worry..”
