Chapter 678: Teaching
Song Lu accompanied Chu Heng and other students to have tea together.
They were mainly discussing the topics of the recent provincial examination.
Chu Heng didn't hide anything and shared all the exam questions with them, along with his own insights.
Dean Zhang listened nearby, nodding in satisfaction.
In a way, Chu Heng was considered his student, while Xie Yu didn't count.
Now that his students had passed the imperial examination, it was also a matter of honor for him.
Almost the entire process didn't involve anyone mentioning Chu Hongmei's matter again.
After seeing off the guests, Ye Muyu didn't disturb the students' discussion either. She instructed Hu Shi to serve tea on time and then changed into ordinary clothes. Together with the assisting servants, she tidied up the dishes and cutlery in the kitchen.
Chu Liushi wanted to stay and help, but Ye Muyu said, "Mother, go back and rest. We have people here, you don't need to worry. It's been a long time since you've seen Big aunt. Go talk to her."
"If I'm busy, I'll ask Luchuan and the others for help."
The only ones helping in the kitchen were two maids brought over from the fruit forest area, Zhang Pozi and Jiang Pozi.
Zhang Pozi was the wife of Zongfu, who managed the fruit forest. The couple had only one daughter, who was already married. Jiang Pozi was the wife of Niu Rong, who had a son, Niu Hao. Today, Niu Hao also came over to help.
The two maids were quick and efficient in washing dishes and other tasks, naturally doing whatever Ye Muyu the lady of the house, instructed them to do.
With the two of them there, and only seven or eight tables of dishes, it wasn't too much. Plus, the weather wasn't too cold at this time, so warm water could quickly clean everything.
Seeing this, Chu Liushi didn't refuse anymore and told Ye Muyu to call her if she needed help.
Ye Muyu nodded to indicate she understood.
"Mother, I don't like Second Aunt today." Chu Ziluo came over to crouch beside Ye Muyu and help her wash dishes. Her brows were lightly furrowed as she spoke.
Seeing Ye Muyu looking over, she immediately smiled widely and leaned against her arm, acting cute. "But, Mother is amazing. I saw Second Aunt was really mad, she bullied Mother and should be driven away."
"Mother, Second Aunt won't come again in the future, right?" Ziluo asked with some concern.
Ye Muyu took the opportunity to teach her daughter a lesson. "What Mother did today was because your Second Aunt has thick skin. When dealing with such people, we need to be even tougher than them."
"As long as she reveals her true colors, it's an opportunity to kick her out."
"Mother, how do you tell if someone has thick skin?" Ziluo asked curiously.
Ye Muyu replied, "People with thick skin will say unpleasant things but still advise others to listen to them. They act very familiar even when meeting for the first time, get involved in our family affairs, and if you treat them politely, they'll become even more arrogant and continue to mock and ridicule you."
"So, we shouldn't tolerate it and should bring up similar topics. If they get angry and make a scene, we can kick them out." Ziluo took over the conversation, her eyes shining brightly.
Ye Muyu understood these principles, and her daughter would gradually understand them too. She nodded, "That's about right. In the future, you'll see more. If you don't understand anything, just ask Mother."
"Mother, I will." Chu Ziluo squeezed her little fist. She had wanted to rush out today, but Mother stopped her, saying she was too young and not suitable to get involved. So, she would strive to grow up quickly and not let Mother suffer losses anymore.
"Well, go play with your little friends." Ye Muyu said.
Chu Ziluo shook her head. "Mother, I'll help you finish washing the dishes before I go play."
Seeing her daughter's serious expression, Ye Muyu didn't stop her.
