 Chapter 301: Teaching His Son

Chu Heng walked directly to Ye Muyu and took a seat beside her.


There was already a bowl of food in front of him.


"What is this?" Chu Heng picked up a spoon and took a sip. The soup contained various vegetables like radish, Chinese lettuce, cauliflower, potatoes, meatballs, tofu, etc.


All ordinary ingredients, but the soup was surprisingly flavorful.


"It's a vegetable stew I made. I haven't come up with a name yet." Ye Muyu pushed the question back.


Chu Heng tasted a piece of radish and commented, "It's quite tasty."


"Mother made it because she had radish bone soup at Granny's place yesterday. She said it was a reward for me ranking in the top hundred." Chu Ziluo's voice was full of joy. If there were outsiders present, she would have started bragging about her mother's cooking. As she continued talking, her joy turned into a bit of uneasiness, unsure if her father would find her ranking too low.


Chu Heng looked at her and said, "Well done. I also brought a gift for you as a reward for your efforts in the competition."


"Really?" Chu Ziluo widened her eyes in surprise, sitting up straight. The excitement in her eyes was evident and her fingers curled unconsciously in happiness.


Chu Heng nodded. "Yes."


"Thank you, Father!" Chu Ziluo felt ecstatic. She continued to drink the soup, unable to contain her happiness. Her entire face lit up with a silly smile unable to close her mouth.


Chu Jin was completely absorbed in eating the Oden and paid no attention to whether there was a gift or not. For him, as long as his father didn't punish him to copy books, it was a happy event.


With his rough nerves, he was very confident and wouldn't be moved to tears by a few words.


Regarding Zhuge Suo's matter, he said, "Father, Zhuge Suo made quite a bit of money. When I came back in the afternoon, Uncle Chu Xing had already returned and the Zhuge Suo I brought was sold out."


"Starting tomorrow, Uncle Chu Xing will go to sell in other county towns. Can I come back at night to finish writing and memorizing books and then draw three Zhuge Suo?" Chu Jin calculated. Drawing three Zhuge Suo would earn him sixty wens a day. Thinking that one wen could buy a steamed bun and two wens could buy a meat bun, he was quite satisfied with sixty wens.


Chu Heng didn't immediately answer him. Instead, he turned to Ye Muyu and inquired about Zhuge Suo's situation.


Ye Muyu explained, "It's a rule set by Ah Xing. Helping draw patterns on the Zhuge Suo sells for twenty wens. These days, Little Jin has been helping with drawing. This is the money he earned himself. I won't take it for now."


In other words, the money from selling Zhuge Suo won't be given to Chu Jin temporarily.


Chu Heng understood her intentions and naturally wouldn't object.


"Father, is it okay?" Chu Jin looked at him again, asking eagerly.


Chu Heng only looked at him now. "Starting tomorrow, you'll begin your studies. You only have one hour of free time each day. Be a man of your word. If you can draw three Zhuge Suo in an hour, go ahead. But if you promise something and can't deliver, it's a breach of trust, not something a gentleman would do."


Chu Jin hesitated for a moment. Over the past month, under Chu Heng's personal guidance and Ye Muyu's indulgence, he became more sensible.


"Father, I'll try. If I can't do it, I'll reduce the quantity." After thinking for a while, Chu Jin responded seriously.


"That's acceptable." Chu Heng agreed.


Having settled the official business, Chu Jin once again immersed himself in eating Oden, not caring about the matter of the gift.
