EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Knowing that money was not as important to her brother as relatives, Chu Ziluo left with a smile on her face.

Meanwhile, Chu Jin had already pulled Zhang Cong along to plan how to continue earning money.

After Ye Muyu had settled the matter of the child, she entered the east wing room and placed Chu Jin’s silver into the wooden box where the silver earned from the Zhuge Locks was placed.

Someone from the village came to deliver lotus roots and fish.

There were two big rivers in Xingshui Village. The rivers were relatively clean, and they could usually catch some fish. However, the fish in the river and the fish in the pond had different tastes.

For the villagers, the fish in the pond were bigger. The fish in the river were difficult to catch. Usually, they could not catch them themselves. They could only buy them from the families who were good at fishing.

The fish in the pond had to be divided equally every year. They had to fish four times a year. If there was a disaster, the number of times they would fish would be even lower.

However, over the years, the weather in the village had been good, so the number of times had been fixed.

When Ye Muyu reached the door, the eldest son of the village chief, Li Shun, had already left with his eldest son.

She glanced at the fish in the bucket. Most of them were grass carp and crucian carp. These two types of fish were the most common in the river fish.

“Madam, the village chief sent three crucian carp and two grass carp.” Seeing Ye Muyu come over, Zhang Shu told him the number and said, “There are still seven or eight lotus roots. The lotus roots are growing well this year. Master told me to buy some last time.”

“They say that boiling soup is good for Madam’s health, but Madam can’t eat it raw with lotus seeds. It’s cold in nature.”

“Madam, I’ll go over and wash the lotus roots now.”

“Alright.” Ye Muyu didn’t expect Chu Heng to pay attention to the function of each ingredient and remember clearly which ones she could not eat.

Those who did not know better would think that he had specially found a book to read about it.

Ye Muyu was slightly stunned. She pursed her lips. For some reason, her mind was filled with the image of Chu Heng sitting in the study and reading a book seriously.

Chu Heng would look exceptionally serious.

It was said that serious men were the best-looking, and Ye Muyu had to admit this.

Her cheeks were slightly hot, and she heaved a sigh of relief from her chest. She silently looked at the wide road outside the courtyard and the fields, her thoughts wandering, wondering where Chu Heng was now and how things were going.

After Zhang Shu washed the lotus roots, he placed them in a wooden bucket in the well and kept them at a low temperature. They would be fresher tomorrow.

As for the fish, he found a basin to raise them first.

They had dinner early and the sky was not dark yet. Ye Muyu and Madam Hu sat in the central room and continued to make the curtain for the carriage.

Zhang Shu was responsible for feeding the chickens and cows at home, cleaning the cowshed, yard, and so on.

Chu Ziluo was also helping Ye Muyu with her needlework.

Chu Jin had lost his savings and was currently working hard on painting on Zhuge Locks.

Chu Heng’s exam had been postponed.

Time slowly passed as everyone busied themselves. The moon had climbed up at some point, and the oil lamp had been lit. The night gradually darkened.

In the next few days, Ye Muyu was busy at home.

As promised, Luo Qisheng sent over silk clothes the next day. Everyone in the house had two sets, and the size was very suitable. Ye Muyu also had less trouble making clothes.

He also sent two sets of clothes to Chu Zhiwen and Madam Liu.

Ye Muyu only told them that Chu Heng had people transport it back from Hangzhou and specially chose the best material.

Madam Liu was frustrated by Chu Qingxiang’s marriage, but after seeing her son’s filial piety, she finally felt better..
