Chapter 387 Educating Children

   "Then I will cook first."

   "With a guest coming, let's make a bowl of braised pork at noon." There is only pork and half of the chicken in the house for the time being. After thinking about it, he said: "Make another spicy chicken."

   "Madam, the chicken is what the master asked the servants to make soup for your health." Hu reminded subconsciously, she obviously thinks the wife's body is more important than Lin Chongjin, a child she doesn't know.

  Ye Muyu smiled slightly: "Didn't you finish the chicken soup stewed last night?"

   "I'll just finish the leftover chicken soup from last night at noon, and I'll just buy chicken if I have to cook chicken soup tomorrow."

  Mr. Hu hesitated for a while, and finally chose to obey the order, and did not object again, only said: "Madam, otherwise, how many chickens will you raise at home?"

   "Usually slaves can take care of them, it's not troublesome."

   "You have wanted to raise it for a long time? If you don't find it hard, you can raise it. It just so happens that Aunt Lin's house next door has a little chick." Ye Muyu didn't object. She was in poor health before, so she didn't have the energy to raise it.

   Upon hearing this, Mrs. Hu hurriedly said: "Madam is willing to let the servants take care of them, and the servants will go to make a nest that afternoon. In the past, the old slaves are used to raising chickens, so it is not difficult."

  Mr. Hu herself is willing to raise her, Ye Muyu thought, if she gave her a little more monthly money, she would not stop her.

  Ye Muyu said: "Help me wash the chicken and cut it into small pieces."

"Okay, ma'am." Hu quickly went to the well to pull up half a piece of chicken. It's hot now, so if you put it in the kitchen, it might go bad after one night, and people with wells can save food. It will be much more convenient.

   It took two quarters of an hour to prepare lunch, and Ye Muyu's hair was wet with sweat on his forehead.

   Seeing this from the side, Mrs. Hu knew Madam's love of cleanliness, so she hurriedly said: "There is hot water in the pot here, you go and wash it, and the rest of the steamed pumpkin rice will be brought by the servant."

   "Then... thank you for your hard work." Ye Muyu really couldn't bear the feeling of sweating, and she was more likely to catch the cold if she didn't change her underwear when she was sweating. She went back to the east wing with a basin of hot water.

  Mr. Hu called Zhang Cong to get up. She put the pumpkin and rice into the pot and covered the pot.

   "Mother, if the master leaves, can I still study?" Zhang Cong held this thought in his mind for a while.

  Seeing that only Mrs. Hu was there at the moment, he hesitated and asked.

  Hu’s movement of lighting the fire paused: "If there is no master in the village, the young master must go to the county school to study, but the beam repair in the county school is more expensive, how can you go?"

"If you really want to study, I will take your mother's monthly money to buy you the rest of the books. When you are free to take care of the young master, you can read them with peace of mind. If you don't understand, you can ask the young master. As long as you can read, you can read them in the future." You have to walk a little bit, and you can help your wife and master do more work."

   "Mother understands now, following Mrs. Madam, there will definitely be a future."

"You just need to learn more in private." Hu thought for a while and then said: "You are a servant now, Madam and Master treat us well, but you are a slave after all, so don't think too much, just know how to read and write, understand? ?”

   At the end, Mrs. Hu was a little serious.

  She has always had self-knowledge, how did the good times come about now, if there is no Mrs. Master, the son, let alone studying, is afraid that he will not have enough food and clothing, so he is content.

   "Mother, I understand. I just want to read, and I have never thought about the imperial examination. The young master is much smarter than me. In fact, I am usually slower to read, and the young master can already draw inferences."
