Chapter 500 Origin
Zhang Shu honestly said, "This is winter melon tea, it cools the body."
After saying this, as if remembering something, he added, "It was brewed by the madam herself."
There was a hint of surprise in Luo Xiaoqi's eyes. "Madam is so talented."
"Madam is naturally talented. She also handled the ink-making this time. Madam can read, so she gains something from reading any book. I don't know which details about ink-making Master Luo needs me to explain?"
"Madam wants me to inform Master Luo of all the details."
Zhang Shu was like a completely straightforward person. Basically, whenever someone asked, he would spill everything.
Luo Xiaoqi's eyes lit up at this. "Madam is also amazing. I only heard before that madam is good at cooking."
"I didn't expect her to know about ink-making too."
"Madam said it's thanks to the books Master brought back. Master Luo, if it's convenient, could you buy more good books in the future?" Zhang Shu asked sincerely.
"Of course, Master already instructed this. Once they arrive, they will be delivered to the house."
"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony. I'll ask you directly about the details of ink-making."
"Master Luo, please don't be so polite." Zhang Shu said earnestly.
Luo Xiaoqi then said, "But Uncle, I have a photographic memory..."
However, Luo Qisheng's expression suddenly changed, his tone becoming colder. "This matter concerning the master's household must be recorded. If there's a mistake, can you bear the responsibility?"
"Yes, Uncle, I was wrong." Luo Xiaoqi didn't expect his uncle, who seemed in a good mood just now to suddenly become angry. He felt uneasy and didn't dare to say anything more, obediently starting to take notes.
Zhang Shu was also startled by Luo Qisheng's sudden change in demeanor. He was so used to being honest that he didn't react for a moment, or else he would have made a fool of himself.
At this moment...
Ye Muyu left the main hall and returned to the east wing room.
Hu Shi helped bring in the account books.
She whispered, "Madam, I've already asked Zhang Shu to inform that Mr. Luo about the details of ink-making and also to find out about his background."
"Thank you."
"Doing things for madam is my duty, how can I say it's difficult?" Hu Shi said softly. She didn't interfere in other matters, continuing, "Madam, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare dinner. We should eat earlier today since it's quite a distance from the village to the county."
"Go ahead." Ye Muyu knew that Hu Shi had a sense of propriety, so there was no need for further instructions.
She sat quietly in front of the dressing table, looking at the stack of account books beside her, feeling very conflicted.
After thinking for a while, she decided to find something to keep herself busy. The canopy she was making to cover the carriage from rain yesterday was not yet finished, so she continued working on it.
About half an hour later...
Zhang Shu knocked on the door from outside, and only after getting her consent did he come in.
"Madam, I've asked everything."
"Luo Qisheng originally came from the former governor's family in Suzhou. Two years ago, the governor's family was confiscated due to an offense, and Luo Qisheng and others were sold again."
"But Luo Qisheng also has some ability. After the whole family was sold off, he was bought back by a local wealthy man."
"But later, the young master of that wealthy family tried to forcefully marry his daughter, Luo Qisheng tried a scheme, and the entire family was sent to a remote county to run a shop by the head of the family."
"I don't know what method the master used but he bought his entire family back from the wealthy family's hands afterwards and they have been serving the master ever since."
