 Chapter 333: Show of Filial Piety

Ye Muyu looked up and saw Lin Fuzi, the village teacher, coming out. He wore a gray-white robe, his beard neatly trimmed, exuding an elegant scholarly aura. In his hands, he held a book of a thousand characters.


Seeing Ye Muyu, Lin Fuzi nodded "Madam Chu, is there something you need today?"


"Just came to check on Xiao Jin and ask Master about his recent studies. I thought he must have troubled Master in the school, so I brought some homemade pickles for Master. It's not worth much silver but it's more appetizing." Ye Muyu explained and Zhang Shu handed over a small jar of pickles from the cart.


Ye Muyu gave it to Chu Jin.


Let him present it to Master.


At this moment, being filial to the teacher was important.


Although Chu Jin was having a hard time carrying it, he didn't complain. Slowly ascending the steps, his steps were slow and his movements were shaky.


Ye Muyu was worried but she was more satisfied with the child's performance. He hadn't been overly pampered and his limbs were diligent and his knowledge diverse.


Lin Fuzi quickly said, "This won't do, I teach the village children as my duty. How can I accept any gifts?"


By now, Chu Jin had trembled his way to Lin Fuzi, handing the pickle jar to him. "Master, this was made by the student himself. Although Mom helped a bit, it's the student's sincerity."


"You silly child." Lin Fuzi quickly took the pickle jar from him. Worried that he might drop it, not to mention the weight, he didn't know how Chu Jin managed to carry it.


But like Ye Muyu, he was very satisfied with Chu Jin's response.


"Actually, Xiao Jin has done very well during this period. I am very pleased." Lin Fuzi's face was filled with satisfaction. After all, Chu Jin used to be a mischievous student in his class. Although smart, he lacked concentration and his previous grades were not impressive.


During this period, he had been very attentive in class and even raised some questions. Lin Fuzi helped him answer not only inspiring the other students to be more attentive but also helping Chu Jin memorize the texts faster and more accurately.


"But these pickles, I heard they are sold at a high price in the county. Many families make pickles to sell and I heard they can sell for over thirty wen a jar."


Thirty wen a jar, considering the cost of ingredients such as cabbage and salt, they could earn at most seven or eight wen.


This was the lowest price for pickles.


The pickles made by the Chu family were obviously the most expensive batch.


And what Ye Muyu brought was also homemade. It was indeed the product of Chu Jin learning with her.


"Master, please don't be polite. Xiao Jin said it's made by him. The taste may not be perfect but it's the child's intention. Master has spent a lot of energy teaching him. Accepting the student's filial offering is only natural. Master doesn't need to be polite." Ye Muyu smiled.


Chu Jin looked up at Lin Fuzi and said, "Master, it's just a jar of pickles. Didn't you invite me to eat meat before?"


"Is Master only allowed to provide food for students and students cannot reciprocate? Master, this seems different from what you taught me." Chu Jin was genuinely puzzled. He hadn't learned about such deep concepts yet but in the past few days when talking to Ye Muyu, they discussed filial piety and principles.


Filial piety was taught by Master and principles were taught by Chu Heng to correct his previous temperament. Of course it was also in the form of anecdotes. He learned and remembered them because his parents wanted him to.
