 Chapter 402: The Effect of Rice Grains

She was very meticulous, even taking a handkerchief to help wipe the ink stains off Chu Jin's desk before leaving.


Chu Heng, seeing his daughter sensible and meticulous, felt a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.


Suddenly, he thought of Chu Ziluo in his previous life, who was spoiled by the Ye family. How could she compare to the current Chu Ziluo?


He couldn't help but feel fortunate and satisfied. Looking at the tea in front of him, he stirred it with a wooden spoon for a moment, took a sip, and savored the sweet and refreshing taste in his mouth.


A sudden smile appeared on his face.


Outside, Ye Muyu was currently changing out of her outer clothes and apron.


While making ink in the afternoon, her hands and apron were stained with a considerable amount of ink.


After changing her apron, she took it to the wooden basin near the well and was about to put soapberry into it.


Hu Shi happened to come out of the kitchen and, seeing her actions, hurriedly approached to stop her.


"Madam, are you washing clothes?" Hu Shi whispered.


Ye Muyu nodded, "Yes, there's a lot of ink on the apron from this afternoon. I plan to soak it for a while before washing it."


"Although it's not too cold in the evening, Madam's body is not fully recovered. Please don't touch the untreated water."


"Also, putting soapberry in will deplete it quickly and it won't wash away the ink. Let me go get some steamed rice grains later and rub them on the ink stains. That should slowly clean it." Hu Shi smiled as she explained to Ye Muyu.


Ye Muyu only knew about using chemical agents to wash off ink stains and had never heard of this traditional method.


A bit curious, she asked, "Can it really clean it?"


"It can. This servant has heard other women talk about it before. I noticed that the ink stains on Madam's apron are not too large, so I thought rubbing them off would be simple. If the area is too large, this servant cannot guarantee that it will be completely clean."


Ye Muyu understood. Rice grains had some effect, but the effectiveness was limited. However, it was enough to clean her apron.


"Hu Shi, you really know a lot. Well done." Ye Muyu praised with a smile.


Where could Hu Shi dare to be complacent? On the contrary, she was grateful to be able to contribute to Madam. The more useful she was, the more confident she was about staying in the Chu family.


"Madam, this servant will work hard to learn more skills in the future." Hu Shi took the wooden basin and helped soak it in hot water.


Ye Muyu followed her and sat down on a small stool next to the wooden basin.


Learning how to rub the cloth with rice grains from Hu Shi.


As the night slowly fell, the study was lit with an oil lamp.


Chu Ziluo had seen Hu Shi and her mother washing clothes earlier. She had run with Nenya to the main hall and brought an oil lamp. Nenya had brought a tall stool.


Putting the stool next to the wooden basin, placing the oil lamp on the stool the room instantly brightened.


"You've worked hard, Ziluo." Ye Muyu smiled lightly.


"Mother, I'm not working hard. Is there anything I can do?" Chu Ziluo squatted nearby, not worrying about her skirt getting wet on the ground due to her pants.


"No need. With just this piece of clothing, both me and Hu Shi are enough to wash it." Ye Muyu glanced and said, "But…"


Chu Ziluo listened and nodded. After thinking for a moment, she took out the small Buddhist bead bracelet from her wrist.


"Mother, this is a gift from Brother."


Hearing this, Ye Muyu looked over. With one glance, she could see that the Buddhist beads were made of sandalwood. Although the beads were not large, the craftsmanship was excellent. If sold, the price should not be less than twenty taels.


Ye Muyu's eyes flickered. "Did he tell you the origin of these Buddhist beads?"


"No, I asked Brother and he said they were not too valuable. I was afraid they were too valuable, so I hesitated to accept them." Chu Ziluo said.


Ye Muyu, upon hearing this, understood that her daughter knew her limits, which was good.
