 Chapter 472: Going to the Old House

The sound of pounding echoed in her ears.


Ye Muyu quickly finished writing.


Afterwards, she meticulously recorded the steps of making ink without missing a single detail.


When she finished her work, Zhang Shu had already finished pounding the ink paste and had just put it in a box to press and shape.


Seeing Ye Muyu coming out, he was so hot and sweaty that he didn't react until Hu Shi reminded him. He quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to bow respectfully.


"Zhang Shu, you can take a rest now. You've been busy enough today." Ye Muyu instructed.


Zhang Shu smiled genially. "Thank you, Madam."


Saying that, he quickly left. As he approached Madam, he could smell the faint fragrance of flowers. Unlike him, who smelled of sweat after pounding the ink paste.


The usually rough Zhang Shu suddenly felt ashamed of his appearance.


He hurriedly went to clean himself up.


"Madam, I heard Old Lady Liu say just now that there are ripe honey pomelos again. Do you want to buy some?" Hu Shi asked while tidying up the dried vegetables in the courtyard.


Ye Muyu thought for a moment. Since she had some free time, she could make more honey pomelo tea to sell.


There weren't many dried vegetables in the courtyard, just a bagful.


Hu Shi took some coins and went quickly to buy the pomelos from the villagers.


After cleaning himself up and changing his clothes, Zhang Shu went to water the Sichuan pepper tree.


Everyone was busy with their own tasks. Ye Muyu brewed three jars of honey pomelo tea, and the sky gradually darkened.


When Chu Jin returned home, she began preparing dinner with Hu Shi.


Chu Jin ran into the kitchen in two or three steps and whispered, "Mother, Uncle Xing gave me my wages."


"Are all these silver coins mine?" Ye Muyu nodded gently, a smile in her eyes. "Yes, they are yours. If you want Mother to keep them for you, it's fine."


The last sentence was deliberately teasing.


Sure enough, Chu Jin took a step back, waving his hands frantically. "No need, Mother. It's too troublesome for you to manage so much money. As your son, I should share the burden for you."


"Alright, Mother was just teasing you. Go to the study and study. Your father will come back in the evening and he will check on you. It's almost time to have dinner after you finish your homework."


"Mother, I know." Chu Jin hurried back to his room and put all the coins in his small treasury.


Watching the wooden box with most of the coins in it, Chu Jin fiddled with it for a while, feeling more and more satisfied as he looked at it.


After feeling satisfied, he hid the wooden box again.


Even when he went to do his homework, the smile on his face never faded, occasionally laughing foolishly.


Ye Muyu heard about Chu Jin's small actions, but she didn't intervene.


Today, Chu Heng came back earlier than usual, before it was completely dark.


Ye Muyu didn't see any signs of fatigue on his face, indicating that the Queen Mother's death in the palace did not affect the provincial examination.


"Dinner is ready. Go wash up and come eat." Ye Muyu came out of the kitchen, carrying a plate of stir-fried string beans.


Although they were forbidden to slaughter animals, they had pork fat, and stir-frying vegetables was also flavorful.


She prepared different dishes for the two children and Chu Heng.


There were no fresh meat and vegetables in the evening, only the wild chicken meat left over from lunch.


Ye Muyu simply shredded the chicken into chicken strips and made a cold chicken dish.


It was well received by the whole family.


After dinner, Chu Heng turned to Ye Muyu and said, "I'm going to the old house later."


"I want to talk about the ink-making business. I was too busy during the opening ceremony last time and I didn't have time to talk to Big Brother and Second Brother about it." Chu Heng explained.


Ye Muyu understood and knew that in this era, personal matters and family matters were intertwined.
