Chapter 213: Gathering of Chu Family Women
While they were talking, Wang also joined them.
After meeting halfway, Chu Liushi saw that Wang was still wearing ordinary work clothes. She glanced at her and thought of saying something, but then thought better of it. Everyone in the village knew that the second son's family worked the hardest and lived frugally. They had never seen them spend money on expensive clothes. Chu Liushi originally felt that Zhang and Ye had dressed quite well. However, seeing Wang not caring about her appearance, she decided not to say anything. Useless comparison was just annoying.
When the four arrived at the main house, they found that many women from other branches had already gathered. This time, many were paying attention to the female art competition.
Chu Liushi went in, greeted Cao's sisters-in-law, and then went to sit on the side after exchanging pleasantries.
The three daughters-in-law naturally followed her to sit down.
When Ye Muyu entered, she was about to find a random place to sit, but she was called by Zheng, who had specifically reserved a seat for her.
Zheng was the wife of the eldest cousin Chu An. Chu An had helped a lot during the repair of the wall before and Ye Muyu knew his temperament. He was quite good, so when Zheng personally arranged a seat for her, it showed her appreciation for Chu Heng and acknowledgment of Ye Muyu as a wife of a scholar.
Ye Muyu had no intention of declining. She didn't need to step back and as for Cao's ideas, she wanted to hear them.
"Thank you, Eldest Hall Sister-in-law. Then I won't be polite." Ye Muyu found a suitable seat right beside Chu Liushi.
Except for a few elders, her seat was considered the highest. Among her peers, only Zheng was at the same level.
Although some young daughters-in-law were dissatisfied in their hearts, when they looked at Ye Muyu, they didn't dare to say anything openly.
After everyone had arrived, Zheng smiled and said, "We are all mothers. This time's female art competition has four categories: cooking, female handicrafts, tea art, and paper-cutting."
"Other families will definitely take the opportunity to teach these four skills to their eligible girls. Therefore, Mother and I plan to discuss with you whether these girls want to learn these skills on their own or if we should select those in the family who are good at these skills to teach together. As for the final results, it will depend on each person."
After saying this, Zheng glanced at everyone to see their reactions.
Although she was inclined to establish a female school similar to the male school, which would be the most suitable for the family and could take care of every household, she couldn't say such things herself.
Therefore, after saying this, she sat down and did not speak again.
The women started to discuss.
"Third younger sister-in-law, what do you think?" Zhang asked Ye Muyu subconsciously.
Ye Muyu didn't express her opinion and asked Chu Liushi, "Mother, what do you think? My Ziluo is still young and only her vinegar-making skills are commendable. I don't force her. I heard that the county will continue to hold female art competitions in the future. Maybe we can consider it in a year or two."
She lowered her expectations for her own daughter.
Zhang was a little surprised and reminded her subconsciously, "Even if it's next year the rewards might be different each time. It's probably difficult to match this year's one-acre land reward. Third younger sister-in-law, your cooking skills are excellent and I believe Ziluo's cooking skills can definitely get a good ranking."
In fact, an acre of land was awarded to the top ten participants. Higher rankings would bring additional rewards.
Ye Muyu shook her head gently "Ziluo's cooking skills are average. Among the girls in the family, there are many who are better than Ziluo. I don't really care if she can get a ranking."
