Chapter 2094: Chapter 2091: Design
Every household has several concubines, and there are even more illegitimate sons and daughters. If the family’s customs are good, it’s not a big deal; at most, there might be so jealousy and rivalry, but if the family’s customs are not good.
For example, if the head of the household is soone who likes to play favorites, the grievances and feuds hidden beneath the surface glamour can be quite frightening; in scheming, lives might be entangled.
“Father, Mother, where’s Little Brother?”
Chu Ziluo did not go over to the soft couch to disturb the two of them; instead, she sat properly at the dining table behind the screen.
At this mont, there were slices of waterlon on the table. Chu Ziluo had just finished washing up and had not yet had a chance to drink water, but she rushed over eagerly. Seeing the waterlon, her mouth watered, and she impolitely took a piece and began eating.
“He was learning horseback stance from your father earlier and got so tired that he’s still sleeping.” Ye Muyu spoke with slight amusent. That child was precocious and sowhat stubborn. In modern terms, it was called self-discipline.
Chu Ziluo was not surprised at all. Eating the sweet waterlon, she found it too delicious and, before she knew it, had eaten two pieces.
“Little Brother has that kind of temperant, much better behaved than Big Brother. I wonder where Big Brother is now.”
This referred to Chu Jin, who was bold enough to go out to sea.
Ye Muyu and Chu Ziluo were sowhat worried.
Chu Heng, however, remained calm: “It’s sothing he enjoys, so even if he suffers, it’s sweet. If he endures it, he can make progress; it’s his destiny.”
“Father, even though you’re right, when Big Brother returns, will you persuade him to study?” Chu Ziluo asked sowhat hesitantly.
Chu Heng respected Chu Ziluo more than he disciplined her. After all, she was getting older and was also wise, so he naturally wouldn’t impose too many restrictions on her; thus, he never dismissed her questions offhand.
“It depends on him; he doesn’t necessarily have to beco an official. I’m still young and can protect you all for many years. As for your future, it’s entirely up to your own choices. Your lives are ones you walk yourselves, and as your father, I won’t ddle too much.” Chu Heng made it very clear.
Chu Ziluo’s eyes brightened.
Not only did she herself breathe a sigh of relief, but in fact, there was also a hint of testing her father’s attitude, although she used Big Brother as a pretext to ask.
Previously, Father would never have answered so clearly. On the contrary, Mother was even less restrictive with them.
It was unclear why Father gave such a direct answer this ti.
Even though Chu Ziluo was very smart, she had too little life experience. If she couldn’t figure it out, she simply wouldn’t think about it.
After dinner.
Chu Ziluo continued to be busy designing plans for future mahjong etup gardens.
Chu Ziluo played with Nuanbao for a while and then returned to her own courtyard.
Chu Heng picked up his pen to draft a morial, preparing to submit suggestions regarding comrce to the north.
“Ah Heng, what do you think is the most popular fruit among people in the capital?” Ye Muyu had been drawing so design plans, which beca sowhat tedious and ntally exhausting.
After all, to be outstanding, even ancient gardens could be a headache. Fortunately, she had ten to fifteen days to think it over, so there was no rush.
Chu Heng’s pen was dipped in ink, and while writing the morial, he answered Ye Muyu’s question, truly multitasking without any errors.
“Apples, grapes, and red dates are quite common here, as well as pears and persimmons. If you had to say which fruit sells best, it’s naturally waterlon.”
Ye Muyu thought of the waterlons that were sent from the Manor to the grain shop for sale, which could sell out in basically fifteen minutes, even though their price wasn’t cheap. Her mood was sowhat complicated.
But upon careful thought, it all made sense.
