It's a blessing for us that Amu is willing to teach now; you should cherish it.
Especially Asen, if you want to pursue a career in the government, you should learn a lot from Amu!
The young men of the Chi family, upon hearing their eldest brother's words, all looked at Qin Mu with eyes full of respect for their teacher.
"Big brother, don't worry, we will study hard!"
Chi Sen immediately followed Qi Mingyu's example when he came to Chijia'ao and shoveled the shovel into his second brother's hands.
He then flicked off non-existent dust from his fur coat, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and bowed to Qin Mu with his hands clasped together.
"Master Qin, this student greets you!"
Qin Mu: "..."
Disliking Qi Mingyu's manner, Chi Deng struck him on the back with an iron palm the moment Qi Mingyu straightened up.
"Why imitate that person?"
"If your aunt sees this and makes her sad, your parents will skin you alive!"
Chi Sen winced in pain, but didn't forget to defend himself.
"Aren't all the scholars in the city like that?"
Shen Kai, who was originally low-key and didn't want to attract attention, quickly replied, "That's really not it! It's just the behavior of a few scholars."
He even smirked and flicked his clothes. What kind of weird rule is this? It looks kind of creepy.
Chi Sen looked at the other three coachmen and, seeing that they also agreed with Shen Kai, gave up!
Well, that just shows his limited knowledge.
If you make a mistake, correct it immediately. He said, "Okay, I was wrong. I won't do it again next time."
After saying that, he muttered to himself, "No wonder I didn't like that person. It turns out he did it on purpose to show off his uniqueness."
"Pah, what a piece of trash! No wonder my aunt has such a good temper; she can't stand him!"
Qin Mu: "..."
If you don't say anything, no one will think you're mute.
With this child's temperament, it will be difficult for him to pursue a career in government!
However, if you can pass the imperial examination to become a scholar and be exempt from corvée labor and taxes, then you might as well give it a try!
Because of this incident, no one spoke afterward, and everyone braved the torrential rain to dig holes and bury poles.
Chi Qing and the others carried a total of six poles over this time, three poles on each side, extending all the way to the outside of Old Chi's house.
When Chi Yu and Chi Qiao finished cooking, they hadn't yet set up the tarpaulin shed.
The oilcloth has been sewn up, and the seams have been brushed with tung oil three times, both inside and out.
They then dug holes, threaded ropes through them, and tied them to the poles, based on the poles' locations.
After all that work, it was completely dark.
For dinner tonight, Chi Yu's family made stir-fried cured pork with cabbage and stir-fried bean sprouts with scallions.
Spicy and sour shredded radish, steamed sausage, pan-fried dried ribbonfish, and stewed pheasant with dried mushrooms.
As soon as the dishes were served, everyone enjoyed them immensely.
At the suggestion of her eldest sister, Chi Yu even went to the west wing and opened a jar of wine weighing ten catties.
It's cold today, and everyone has been working in the rain. Having a few drinks will warm us up.
Shen Kai sat next to Qin Mu, drinking and eating while taking the time to whisper to Qin Mu:
"Brother Mu, about half of the dishes on this table tonight were made by the young lady from the Chi family."
Look at her, she's beautiful, has a good personality, isn't afraid of your misfortunes, and cooks delicious meals.
A girl like that is hard to find. Seriously, you need to seize the opportunity.
Otherwise, someone else will beat you to it, and you'll regret it.
I heard that not everyone in Chijia'ao has the surname Chi.
It's perfectly normal for someone to be interested in her.
Qin Mu didn't speak, but just glanced at him sideways.
Shen Kai smiled in response, then turned to Chi Yu, who was also eating in the main room, and said:
"Young lady of the Chi family, we just heard that you intend to have your nephews learn to read, is that right?"
