Chapter 339: Gossip News
"Really? I've never heard of using it as a seasoning before."
"It's from miscellaneous records." Ye Muyu explained with a light smile.
Qian's face instantly lit up with a smile. "I knew that studying could broaden one's knowledge. Eldest daughter-in-law, second daughter-in-law, listen, ever since Muyu learned to read, she knows so many things. You shouldn't say that women studying is useless."
"Mom, why are you bringing this up again?" Shen Shi smiled a bit forced but she didn't want to say much in front of Ye Muyu. Her brows were slightly furrowed indicating that there was something on her mind.
Qin Shi complimented with a smile, "Younger sister must be more capable than us. We just farm the land and it's good if we can grow a bit more grain. After all, Ah Heng is a scholar and we only have one in our family. Who can compare to him?"
"That's not how it works. Our family has been better off than others because we've always had a business-minded person. Most people in the village rely on those few acres of land to eat. If the weather is good, it's fine, but when it's not and the heavens don't grant us food, we've experienced years of famine where we went hungry. I just want to provide more options for the children. Why can't you all understand?" Qian spoke with some helplessness, but she also argued forcefully. However, these were her two daughters-in-law who usually did well, so she could only negotiate with them.
This was about whether to let the girls learn to read and Ye Muyu had no intention of getting involved or offering any advice, even to Qian, whom she got along well with. In the long run, it was undoubtedly beneficial for women to learn to read.
Chu Liushi and she herself were literate. Chu Liushi, in particular became gentler towards people because she could read and she raised a son like Chu Heng who was also literate.
It depended on the individual.
In fact, reading books was undoubtedly beneficial but it depended on one's personal choices to make it more suitable for themselves.
Qian changed the topic when she saw Ye Muyu and it turned to the temple on the mountain.
"Did you hear? There's a rumor that there are monks in the distant Thunderlight Temple who say they want to send children down the mountain."
"What?" Ye Muyu was puzzled, not understanding where Qian had heard this piece of news.
Qian clapped the dust off her gloves, speaking while continuing. "It's Ah Xing. He's been selling Zhuge Suo everywhere these days, right?"
"He went to the Thunderlight Temple yesterday. It's said that the number of pilgrims there has been increasing and those who go to burn incense usually have some extra money. They would definitely be willing to buy these little trinkets, especially since Zhuge Suo are used to test whether a child is intelligent."
Qian had a high opinion of Zhuge Suo. Even if Chu Jin mentioned that they were made by ancient celebrities, the game itself required a certain level of intelligence. It easily aroused a child's interest.
"And then?" Ye Muyu had a good impression of Chu Xing's business acumen. Seeing that he had finished selling in the nearby county and found a temple to sell Zhuge Suo, it showed a certain level of cleverness. She was quite optimistic about him.
"Heard from Ah Xing that it was successful. Many people were interested and he sold a lot of them. It's probably a good business opportunity." Qian said.
She found out that she could buy fresh mountain peppers from Qian and planned to use them to make some dishes when she got home.
