Chapter 598: Meng Yunzheng, the Hidden Talented Scholar

The official emissary had already received benefits from Meng Yunzheng, so he naturally recognized Shu Yu. Moreover, it wasn't a difficult task for her to go hunting, so he agreed without hesitation. Before parting, he reminded her, "Come back tomorrow at the hour of Mao to collect the tools. I will arrange for someone to accompany you."

"Alright," Shu Yu nodded in agreement. The hunting time was later than the clearing time. It was dangerous to enter the mountains when it was dark, as accidents could easily happen.

The main purpose of the government was to make the prisoners work and hunt, not to endanger their lives.

After leaving the village, Shu Yu was met by Hou Shi and the Sixth Miss, who had been waiting for her. They had known about her plan since early morning, but they still felt it was inappropriate for her to change her job.

"Have you really thought it through? Hunting is very dangerous," Hou Shi asked.

Shu Yu smiled and replied, "It's fine. My brother said he would prepare some tools for me."

That worked out well. Since she had acknowledged her family, having a bow and arrows would make her journey smoother.

Hou Shi thought about the Lu family, and since they didn't object, she felt it wasn't her place to say more. She nodded and didn't try to dissuade Shu Yu further.

The three of them arrived at the entrance of the Lu family's house. Shu Yu had originally wanted to introduce Hou Shi and the others to the Lu family, but Hou Shi declined. She still felt that Shu Yu had just acknowledged her relatives and was not yet familiar with them, so it was best not to disturb them too much.

Seeing her insistence, Shu Yu didn't persuade her further. After giving Hou Shi the food she had received, she bid them farewell and returned home.

Hou Shi didn't refuse the food. After all, they had worked hard all day and were truly hungry. But their abilities were limited, so the amount of food they received was not much. With Shu Yu having family now, even if they didn't have extravagant dishes, the food she ate would definitely be better than the coarse grains they were given. They figured the Lu family wouldn't want the food either.

After Hou Shi and the Sixth Miss left, Shu Yu pushed open the Lu family's door. As soon as she entered, a familiar fragrance tickled her nose. The exhaustion on her body seemed to dissipate in an instant, and she immediately headed towards the kitchen.

The old lady was setting the table with San Ya. When she saw Shu Yu enter, she hurriedly walked over and said, "You're back? Hurry and wash your hands. Let's eat first."

San Ya had already cleverly added half a ladle of hot water to the basin, and she came over to pull Shu Yu, saying, "Second Sister, come quickly."

Shu Yu smiled and washed her hands. San Ya even took out hand cream to help her apply it, muttering, "Mother said that Second Sister works hard, and her hands are calloused. So every time after washing your hands, you have to apply this and make them smell nice. From now on, washing hands is a very serious matter for Second Sister, and I'll take care of it."

Shu Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Washing hands has become a serious matter now?"

San Ya raised her head and nodded seriously, "Yes."

Shu Yu burst into laughter and then turned to see Zhao Xi and Da Hu entering the kitchen. Da Hu still had ink on his face, indicating that he had been practicing calligraphy.

This little guy couldn't go to school at the moment, but he didn't neglect his studies. When they returned from Jiangyuan County, Master Wen had given him several tasks and sent him several books to read in the meantime.

Although Da Hu didn't have Master Wen with him anymore, he could still study on his own. If there was anything he didn't understand, he could ask Zhao Xi. Although Zhao Xi was a doctor, he had also studied and could be a temporary teacher for Da Hu. And if he couldn't handle it, there was still Meng Yunzheng, the hidden talented scholar who was worth a fortune in a painting.
