Chapter 406: Carried Back

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Ye Muyu was done with the ink for a while, Madam Hu and Zhang Shu each carried a basket of vegetables back.

Ye Muyu waved at Madam Hu.

“Madam, what’s the matter?” Madam Hu quickly stepped forward.

“On the 16th of July, my sister-in-law’s daughter, Qingxiang, is getting married. I’m afraid you’ll need to go to the old residence to help. When the time comes, you can go directly. Someone should arrange work for you directly. Just do it quietly. No one should make things difficult for you.” Ye Muyu told her everything.

When Madam Hu heard this, she knew that Ye Muyu was protecting her, so she naturally nodded with a smile to show that she understood.

“Madam, then I’ll go cook.”

Madam Hu and Zhang Shu carried the basket full of vegetables to the well. Zhang Shu washed the vegetables, while Madam Hu took the vegetables into the kitchen and put them into the pot to cook. Then, they dried them in the courtyard.

Ye Muyu was also busy making ink.

The three of them were busy with their own work.

Many villagers passed by the courtyard. When they heard about Chu Qingxiang’s marriage, Chu Xueqin and the others, who were repairing the house next door, were pulled by the villagers from time to time to talk.

It was close to noon.

Madam Hu and Zhang Shu were about to go out to pick up more vegetables when they opened the courtyard door.

Halfway through the harvest, they heard the sound of a mule cart.

Madam Hu straightened her back and looked toward the village entrance. “Is this a mule caravan?

Zhang Shu also looked in that direction. He could not see clearly from afar. When he got closer, he suddenly reacted. “It’s the mountain pepper tree that the Master told me about yesterday. The one in front of the convoy is Lu

Chuan.’

When Madam Hu heard this, she also reacted and clapped her hands. “Then quickly go and inform Madam. I’ll go back and help after picking the last vegetables. ”

“Alright.” Zhang Shu turned around and ran into the courtyard.

When he passed by Chu Xing’s house, he almost tripped over the gravel in front of the door.

“Zhang Shu, be careful. Is someone coming over there? Who are they? They seem to be all mule carts.” Chu Dongyu did not forget to find something to say as he worked.

Now that Chu Xing’s house was almost completed, it would probably be done by the end of the month.

In addition, Chu Xing did not have time to look at the houses because he needed to sell Zhuge Locks. It was also Madam Qian who usually helped to look after the houses. It was precisely because of the money from selling Zhuge Locks that he hired three people to do the work during this period.

Therefore, the progress was not slow at all.

Madam Qiang had to cook for these people every day, plus pay them 75 copper coins.

Zhang Shu knew that Ye Muyu had a good relationship with the fifth household. Naturally, he was willing to answer him. “It’s the mountain pepper tree that the Master bought outside. This old servant is going to inform the

Madam.”

“Mountain pepper tree?” Chu Dongyu was stunned for a moment. He remembered that his family also planted mountain pepper trees. Last time, his sister-in-law bought some mountain pepper at home. At that time, his mother said that she would find an opportunity to send more back to his sister-in-law. She did not want to take money from Ye Muyu.

However, Ye Muyu insisted on giving it to him. Because of this, his mother came back and nagged about it for a long time.

He did not expect Chu Heng to buy mountain pepper trees and plant it after such a short period.

Although Chu Dongyu was curious, he said, “Zhang Shu, you should go back quickly. I won’t delay you any longer.”

After Zhang Shu apologized, he did not stand on ceremony and quickly went home into the courtyard.

Ye Muyu was drying ink sticks in the yard. She had made quite a lot of them, most of which were finished products, but the effect could only be seen after they were set.

Zhang Shu went straight to Ye Muyu after entering the courtyard. He stood beside her and slowed down. “Madam, Lu Chuan is back. He has brought the mountain pepper trees. They will be here soon. They are at the door..”
