 Chapter 387: Educating Children

"Then, I'll start cooking."


"With guests here, let's make a braised pork dish for lunch." Since there was only pork and half of a chicken at home, Ye Muyu thought for a moment and added, "Let's also make a spicy chicken dish."


"Madam, the chicken was stewed by the master to make soup for you to nourish your body." Hu Shi instinctively reminded her. Compared to Chong Jin, whom she didn't know, she obviously felt that Madam's health was more important.


Ye Muyu smiled lightly, "Didn't we still have the chicken soup from last night? I'll finish it for lunch and tomorrow I'll buy a chicken to make soup again."


After hesitating for a moment, Hu Shi ultimately chose to follow orders without further objection, saying, "Madam, how about raising a few chickens at home? I can take care of them, and it won't be troublesome."


"If you've been thinking about it, and it's not too much trouble for you, then go ahead. Coincidentally, Mrs. Lin next door has some chicks." Ye Muyu didn't object, previously, she was unwell and had no energy to raise them.


Hearing this, Hu Shi eagerly said, "Madam is willing to let me raise them. I'll prepare a nest this afternoon. I've raised chicks before, it's not difficult."


Ye Muyu was willing to let her do it, so she thought about giving her a little more monthly allowance. She didn't object and said, "Help me wash and cut the chicken into small pieces."


"Yes, Madam." Hu Shi was skillful, pulling up half a chicken from the well. In this hot weather, keeping it in the kitchen, she feared it would spoil overnight. Having a well on the property made storing food much more convenient.


After spending about twenty minutes preparing lunch, Ye Muyu's forehead was covered in sweaty hair.


Seeing this, Hu Shi, who knew that Madam disliked the feeling of sweating, said, "There is hot water in the pot over there. You can freshen up. I'll take care of the remaining steamed pumpkin rice."


"That... thank you." Ye Muyu indeed couldn't stand the feeling of sweat. Holding a basin of hot water, she returned to the east wing.


Hu Shi called Zhang Cong to help. She placed the pumpkin and rice into the pot, covering it with a lid.


"Mother, if Master leaves, can I still study?" Zhang Cong had been holding this thought for a while.


Now that there were only Hu Shi and him, he hesitated for a moment before asking.


Hu Shi, engaged in the fire, paused her actions, "If there is no master in the village, the young master will definitely go to the county school to study. However, the tuition there is more expensive. How could you afford it?"


"If you really want to study, take the money from Madam's monthly allowance and buy the remaining books. When you have free time taking care of the young master, you can read them quietly. If you don't understand, ask the young master. As long as you can read, your future path will broaden and you can help Madam and Sir with more tasks."


"Mother understands now. Following Mau're rm and Sir will surely lead to a promising future."


"You just focus on learning privately." Hu Shi thought for a moment and added, "You are currently a servant. Although Madam and Sir treat us well, we are still servants. So, don't think too much. Just learning to read is enough. Do you understand?"


Towards the end, Hu Shi became somewhat serious.


She had always been self-aware. The good days now came from Madam and Sir. If it weren't for them, her son wouldn't even be able to go to school and might not have enough to eat or wear. Therefore, one should be content.


"Mother, I understand. I just want to recognize characters. I haven't thought about the imperial examinations. The young master is much smarter than me. In fact, I'm a bit slow in recognizing characters. The young master can already grasp multiple concepts when learning.
