Chapter 2136: Chapter 2133: Learning to Swim
When Ye Muyu returned to the residence, she saw Nuanbao humming as he learned to walk, with Chu Ziluo by his side, using a rattle drum to attract his attention.
“Have you tired yourself out today? Your little face is all sweaty, stop walking now, let’s go take a bath.” Ye Muyu reached out and picked him up.
Nuanbao wrapped his short, chubby arms around her neck, his smooth and tender touch utterly adorable to Ye Muyu.
“Mother, what would you like for dinner? I’ll instruct the kitchen to prepare it.” Chu Ziluo asked with a smile.
“Hmm, today is a good day, let’s have a dry pot dish.” Ye Muyu stroked her chin. “Oh, and there’s this year’s new rice, we can have a taste. Also, fetch a jar of grape fruit wine.”
Ye Muyu had never made grape wine before, simply because it’s too unique in ancient tis; if she did, it would inevitably have to be presented to the Emperor.
Previously, the Chu family’s position was unstable, and bringing out such good stuff would also cause trouble.
But grape fruit wine wasn’t much of a problem.
When she brewed it, she deliberately added sugar and removed many grape skins, naturally resulting in very little alcohol flavor, so it could only be called fruit wine, not grape wine, and similar grape fruit wines were available in the market.
“Okay, Mother, I’ll go prepare it now.” Chu Ziluo orderly went to handle it.
Ye Muyu asked Su Lan and the other maidservants to prepare the bathwater for Nuanbao first, brought out strengthening and bathing dicine from the clinic, put it in the bathtub, and had Chun Xing watch over Nuanbao.
After being busy in Jingyuan all afternoon, she was also hot and dusty, so she went behind the screen to wash up.
Once finished, she changed into a clean set of clothes and felt completely refreshed.
Nuanbao was still soaking in the bathtub at this ti.
Although the autumn heat was still intense and the weather hot, Ye Muyu still wouldn’t let Nuanbao soak in cold water, so hot water was added from ti to ti.
Nuanbao saw her, blinked his adorable eyes, and reached out to her.
Ye Muyu squatted down and held his hands.
Nuanbao then stood up, walking around in the bathtub. Due to the buoyancy, he walked easily and couldn’t help but giggle.
“By the way, let’s find an hour to teach Nuanbao to swim.” Seeing this scene, Ye Muyu suddenly thought of swimming and said.
Chun Xing reacted: “Is it swimming? The Young Master quite likes swimming, but this servant is worried that if the Young Master gets used to playing with water, he would often run to the pond, so usually, we don’t let him play too much with water.”
“It’s okay, learning to swim is a skill.” Ye Muyu isn’t the kind to avoid things. Since she worried about sothing happening if he fell into a river, rather than keeping away, knowing how to swim could also solve the problem.
Chun Xing quickly nodded: “Lady, this servant understands, we’ll start teaching the Young Master to swim tomorrow. Lately, the Young Master has been getting livelier, he loves walking, so surely he can swim.”
“Hmm, not bad.”
“Oh, Chun Xing, you’re not too young, turning eighteen this year, right? Do you have anyone you fancy?”
Being suddenly asked about her marriage prospects by Ye Muyu, Chun Xing blushed and stamred, “I, I don’t know.”
“Don’t know?” Ye Muyu was amused by her response.
Seeing her smile, Chun Xing relaxed a lot and, after seriously thinking, answered: “Lady, this servant hasn’t interacted much with outside n, so I truly don’t know.”
“Hmm, alright, I noticed that the maidservants, servant boys, and guards at the residence are also not young anymore.”
