Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 41: five taels less

  Chapter 41 is missing five taels

   Then a new question arose, why did Mrs. Yeh's personality change suddenly?

  From a vulgar village woman to a... Mrs. Chiri Uchitaku...

  Chu Heng thought deeply, and found a stool to sit down.

  Ye Muyu felt that the light was flickering, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover it. After the light stabilized, she raised her head to look at Chu Heng, with suspicious eyes: "Going to rest?"

  Chu Heng nodded: "Yes."

  Ye Muyu thought for a while, got up and put away the sewing basket, and put it on the table by the window.

   "Have you washed your feet?" Ye Muyu turned around and asked.

  Chu Heng shook his head: "No, wait for you to wash together."

  Ye Muyu nodded when she heard the words, then turned and went into the kitchen.

   There was warm water in the pot in the kitchen, and it was already a bit cold, so she added another fire to heat up the water.

  Chu Heng followed from the east wing and put the basin for washing feet into the room.

  Chu Ziluo and Chu Jin share one.

  Ye Muyu filled the water first, and supervised the two children to wash their feet.

   When I came back, I found that Chu Heng had just poured hot water on it, as if he was waiting for her to come back and wash her feet.

   "Wash it." Chu Heng glanced at her and said softly.

  Ye Muyu didn't know what this man was thinking again, he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't want to, and found a stool to sit down.

  She took off her cloth shoes, and saw that the white brocade dress on her feet was already dark brown, which showed that she had been wearing it for a long time.

  Socks are similar to close-fitting small clothes, and they need to be washed and changed frequently.

  But the original owner was reluctant to throw away the socks made of brocade, so he kept wearing them until they changed color.

  It is to show the nobility of being a scholar wife. From the analysis of memory, it is known that many ordinary people have no conditions to wear footwear, and the materials of footwear are also different.

   To be able to use silk and satin, isn’t that superior to others.

  Ye Muyu took off the socks calmly and threw them aside, intending not to use them any more.

  Put her feet in the water, Ye Muyu began to soak her feet slowly.

  Chu Heng's eyes kept falling on her, with no emotion in his eyes. After washing his feet, seeing Ye Muyu was still soaking them, he wiped them first, sat on the bed, and held a book in his hand.

  Ye Muyu is not affected by him. Although Chu Heng is indifferent and severe and difficult to get along with, Ye Muyu is a person who doesn't talk much. She feels that getting along with such a smart and self-disciplined person is actually much easier.

   What's more, when getting along today, Chu Heng is very clean, so she is even more satisfied.

After patiently soaking her feet, Ye Muyu got up and poured out the footwashing water, washed the footbath, went to see the two children, made sure they were all asleep and covered them, then checked the courtyard door before returning to the east. Wing.

  In the room, Chu Heng sat cross-legged on the bed, looking directly at her.

  Ye Muyu opened her eyes slightly and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Is there something wrong?"

  Chu Heng pushed a money bag in front of her.

   "This is the living expenses for the next three months."

  Ye Muyu remembered that Chu Heng did pay the original owner once every three months for living expenses.

  She sat down after him, stretched out her hand very naturally, took the money bag, and poured out the silver inside.

  She counted, and there were roughly fifteen taels.

   Five taels less than the twenty taels given before.

   Could it be that Chu Heng has a financial problem?

  Ye Muyu wanted to ask clearly, but felt that this was Chu Heng's private matter. This man might not be able to tell, but he hesitated.

  Chu Heng saw that she was not angry and asked why there was less money, and felt strange.

   "Well, I got it." Ye Muyu decided to earn money by himself. Chu Heng will continue to take the imperial examination in the future, and he is afraid that it will cost more.
