 Chapter 475: The Nascent Form of a Famous Ink Family

Affected by the atmosphere, Chu Cai felt a bit awkward and couldn't help but touch his nose. He occasionally glanced at his older brothers and noticed that his niece, Qingxiang, only took a sip of soup and a bite of rice before saying she was full.


He suddenly realized that it might be related to his niece Qingxiang's marriage? He usually liked to bury himself in work and minded his own business, but it seemed that his wife had mentioned something during the day.


Chu Cai vaguely felt that he had guessed right and became even more reluctant to speak up.


He decided not to intervene in such matters. If his parents needed his help, they would tell him and he was better off helping carry a dowry.


By the time Chu Heng finished a cup of tea, Chu Liushi and the others had finished their meal.


The two children, Chu Sheng and Chu Ming, also stayed behind moving small stools to sit at the lower end of the table.


Chu Liushi wiped her hands on her apron before sitting down and looked at Chu Heng. "Ah Heng, did you come today to discuss something important?"


"It's something I mentioned last time, a business venture I've been considering."


"I'm not sure if it will succeed, so I'll tell you adults about it first."


"After all, if it doesn't succeed, it's not something I want to publicize." Chu Heng spoke calmly, actually hinting to Chu Liushi that they should let the children leave for now. It wasn't appropriate for them to hear what the adults were discussing to avoid accidentally spreading the news.


Chu Liushi instantly understood and looked at Zhang.


Zhang had also vaguely heard about this from Chu Lin last time but she hadn't heard it clearly then and was now a bit curious.


She patted her two sons on the shoulder. "You two, go back and do your homework. Don't you want to go to the county school to study? If you don't pass the seasonal exams, you'll be sent back."


Chu Sheng and Chu Ming immediately became nervous upon hearing this and got up to go back to their rooms to study without Zhang having to urge them. 


In fact, Zhang deliberately mentioned this to indirectly inform Chu Heng of this news.


Chu Heng looked at her as she spoke.


Knowing that her younger brother was clever, Zhang realized, due to her daughter's marriage, that the benefits of her third brother's academic success were clear. Without her third brother, the Song family would probably have bullied them even more!


"Third brother, it's like this. Master Lin is leaving, right? I was thinking, we should send the two children to the county school you're attending now. As for sending pickled vegetables, just let your older brother handle it." Zhang finally brought up this matter. She had wanted to mention it earlier but hadn't found the opportunity as she was busy with various matters.


Chu Heng wasn't surprised at all. "Alright."


Seeing Chu Heng agree, Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.


Chu Lin also relaxed when he saw that his third brother didn't say much, indicating that he agreed with their idea.


In this aspect, Chu Heng was better than him and he also wanted his two sons to succeed, so he naturally valued Chu Heng's opinion.


"Alright, let's get to the main point." As soon as Chu Liushi spoke, everyone looked at Chu Heng.


Chu Heng said, "Last time I mentioned making ink. I want to discuss it with you parents. Making ink is a very long process, ranging from half a year to two years."


"To start this business, a considerable amount of money will be needed."


"I have two ideas and I want you to listen to both."


"First, I will establish an ink-making workshop under my name. After I pass the imperial examination, I can officially start operating. Without an official position, even if I have the skills, I won't be able to sustain it. I want to build a famous ink family, not just be an ordinary ink merchant."
