 Chapter 189: Herbal Tea

"There are also brushes for the other rooms." Ye Muyu added.


Seeing this, Chu Liushi became even more satisfied. Although her third son had been obedient and studious, she always worried about Ye Yunlan. Now, seeing Ye Yunlan's changed attitude and improved relationship with her third son, Chu Liushi couldn't be happier.


"Alright, take a look at them." Chu Liushi smiled and accepted the brushes.


She also praised Chu Ziluo a few times, making Chu Ziluo smile happily.


"By the way, daughter-in-law how did you make this herbal tea? Can you make some tomorrow? The weather should be just right and having this herbal tea makes one feel comfortable. It's also good for entertaining guests."


Chu Liushi and Ye Muyu discussed the arrangements for tomorrow's banquet. Seeing Chu Liushi take the initiative, Ye Muyu felt even more pleased. She suggested making herbal tea to cool down, especially since the women in the family didn't drink alcohol.


"Alright, let's go with that. Tonight, prepare the tea and store it in the well. Tomorrow, take it out and it will be at the perfect temperature."


"Sure, if you think it's appropriate, we'll arrange it. Once it's decided, we'll boil the tea tonight and let it cool in the well. Tomorrow, it'll be just right." Ye Muyu suggested.


"Fine, let's go with that. The third son will probably bring back some wine and we women don't drink much. This herbal tea is just perfect."


As they continued to discuss, it took a whole hour to finalize the menu for tomorrow's banquet. Following the typical rural banquet format, there would be eight main dishes. Chu Liushi, being less familiar with the customs, deferred to Ye Muyu's understanding. After agreeing on the menu, Ye Muyu wrote down the dishes on paper.


Chu Liushi observed Ye Muyu calmly holding the pen, even though her handwriting wasn't particularly beautiful. It could be described as that of a beginner. However, Ye Muyu's hand didn't shake at all.


A hint of admiration flashed in Chu Liushi's eyes. "Daughter-in-law, how long have you been practicing calligraphy? Your progress is so fast."


"Mother, you're joking. After marrying my husband, I occasionally learned a bit from him. He said my writing is barely acceptable, not good enough. But you, Mother, my husband mentioned that you taught him how to read when he was a child." Ye Muyu felt no pride in her ability to write with a brush, after all, it was relatively easy to learn in the modern era. In the Great Chu, the opportunities for learning were limited. In this context, she respected Ye Muyu, a woman who managed to teach herself.


"Don't be silly, I haven't written for many years. Now, just holding a pen makes my hand shake." Ye Muyu waved her hand. The two women were talking when they heard someone knocking on the courtyard door.


"It must be Ah Xing, he's probably brought something back. Come, let's go take a look." Ye Muyu walked ahead.


Ye Muyu walked slowly and by the time she arrived, the courtyard door were already open and Chu Xing had just jumped off the donkey cart.


"Auntie Three, I'm back. Brother Heng is still waiting for me in the county, expecting me to drive the donkey cart to transport some things."


"Did you buy so much?" Ye Muyu was startled but her surprise was only momentary. "Ah Xing, go inside and have some water first."


Ye Muyu also noticed the number of items on the donkey cart.


With the items taken from the cart, Chu Liushi and Ye Muyu helped bring everything into the courtyard.


Seeing this, Chu Liushi is worried and reminded her, "Daughter-in-law, you don't need to work too hard. Take care of your own body."


"Mother, I know. Don't worry about me."
