Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 894: Woodworking

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Don’t give your father too much pressure. The top scorer can only be obtained by the first place in the entire Great Chu Dynasty’s imperial examination.” Ye Muyu felt that this was even more difficult than becoming the national top scorer in the future. She thought about the two children’s words and couldn’t take them too seriously. What if it really affected Chu Heng’s exam?

“Ah Yu, what ranking do you want me to get?” Chu Heng put down his chopsticks and looked at her.

“As long as you can pass, it’s fine. I don’t have high requirements.” Ye Muyu quickly lowered her expectations and told the truth. With Chu Heng’s character, he would definitely do good for the people after he passed the imperial examination and became an official. As long as he became an official, he would bring honor to his ancestors. She believed in his ability. Chu Heng saw the sincerity in her eyes, her eyes warm and clean, and a faint smile on her lips. He reached out and patted her head, not saying anything else.

After breakfast, the family went to the old residence to fetch Madam Liu and Chu Zhiwen to the county.

After that, Chu Heng would not be at home for a long time. He brought his parents to the county to live with Ye Muyu and the children.

If there was really something, the family could discuss it.

Ye Muyu and Chu Heng decided after a discussion.

“Father, Mother, you don’t have to worry about the family. We have a house in the county. If we really miss you, we can move to the county,” Chu Lin said.

Chu Cai and his wife listened on from the side, feeling somewhat desolate.

Most of their silver had been invested into the dozen sets of furniture. However, after Master Xu deceived them for the furniture, he still did not give them any money.

Now that he was locked up in the county jail, the case would have to wait until the new year. He might have to wait for at least a month. By then, the outcome would still be unknown.

In short, they could not afford a house.

Madam Wang thought about it and felt a little sad. However, her house was in the village and was not bad. She would still make more pickled cabbages and earn more money.

“You guys should be more honest first. If you don’t know how to do business, don’t be stupid. Why don’t you learn a skill? Madam Wang, see what you can do. If you learn, you won’t be afraid of not having the opportunity to make money.” Madam Liu reminded the two of them.

Chu Cai and Madam Wang quickly nodded obediently and did not dare to mess around anymore.

Ye Muyu heard this from the carriage and had some thoughts.

After Madam Liu boarded the carriage, the carriage rushed to the county.

Only then did she say, “Mother, when you mention Second Brother, I thought of something. We have quite a number of shops now, and the cosmetic shop’s business is quite good. Usually, we also need some exquisite wooden boxes to store rouge. Perhaps Second Brother can take up this job?”

“In the past, the business in the shop was average. Now that it’s slowly getting better, I’m not afraid that Second Brother won’t have any work to do.”

“Then I’ll find a chance to tell your second brother?” Madam Liu knew that the cosmetics weredeveloped by Ah Yu, so she naturally had to respect her opinion. No matter what, she had to ask for her opinion first.

“Mother, alright. Just tell Second Brother that it will be more convenient for me to request some special wooden boxes in the future. Other than that, it would be best if the wooden boxes were painted with some paintings.”

“I wonder who in the clan can do this job?” Since she wanted to help her clansmen, she had to plan slowly.

Previously, it had taken two months just to deal with the estates.

The shop was also slowly getting on the right track. Now, it was safer to arrange for the clansmen to do work.

“I really don’t know about this. However, there aren’t many scholars in the clan, and there are probably even fewer people who know how to draw. I’ll find time to ask.”

“Sigh, look at me. I shouldn’t have gone to the county now. Now I need to make a trip back to the village.” Madam Liu patted her head and said.
