Chapter 880: Illiterate

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Apart from that, there was also Madam Hu, a personal nanny of the Chu family. Ye Muyu was not stingy and directly gave her a set of cream, a pot of fruit wine, and one tael of silver.

Other than that, there were also the manservants at home.

The manservants were different from the maidservants. The amount of money given was the same, but the items given were more practical, such as shoes.

As for the guards, since they were always outside, Ye Muyu prepared ointment and silver.

She also needed to send New Year gifts to the servants at the estates.

After arranging the New Year’s gifts for the servants, Ye Muyu was panting from exhaustion. It would be difficult to arrange for too many people, so she really needed help.

Ye Muyu called Madam Hu, Su Mei, and the others to come in.

“Madam, I just cooked some spicy vermicelli soup for you. Do you want some?”

“There’s also crispy meat pie, milk cheese, and your favorite flower tea.”

Ye Muyu rubbed her stomach. She was really hungry. She spent most of the afternoon drinking fruit wine.

“I want to eat vermicelli soup and a pot of flower tea.” Ye Muyu rubbed her stomach and decided not to make things difficult for herself. She could work after eating.

“Madam, please wait a moment. I’ll be right there.” Madam Hu nodded with a smile.

“Madam, what do you need me to do?” Su Mei and Su Lan helped her pack up the account books that she had written.

“Write what I say,” Ye Muyu said.

“Madam, we are illiterate.” Su Mei and Su Lan were slightly stunned.

Ye Muyu was speechless.

“Is there anyone who can read?” She really did not think of this and touched her forehead with a headache.

Coincidentally, Madam Hu came over and brought over the cooked vermicelli soup. Behind her was a little servant girl carrying a teapot. freēwēbnovel.com

“Madam, there is a little bit of tofu skin in the vermicelli soup that you asked this servant to make last time. Try it.” Madam Hu placed the bowl and chopsticks in front of her, took the teapot, and poured a cup of flower tea.

Ye Muyu sniffed the rice noodles and the chili oil inside. She felt that it was extremely fragrant. She pursed her lips and smiled. “Madam Hu, your vermicelli is getting better and better.”

“It’s Madam who taught me well.” Seeing that she liked to eat, Madam Hu had a loving smile on her face.

Ye Muyu took a bite and was not disappointed.

“Madam Hu, since you know how to make braised food, get the kitchen to stew some in a while and bring it to the old residence for dinner. You guys should keep some too. Eat well during the New Year. It’ll be a blessing in the coming year.”

“Alright, this servant will go and prepare it now.”

Madam Hu was about to turn around and leave when Ye Muyu suddenly remembered something important. She patted her head and called out to her. “Madam Hu, wait. Zhang Cong is in the old residence, right?”

“Madam, that kid is here.”

“Call him over to help me write something,” Ye Muyu ordered.

Madam Hu was a little surprised. She did not immediately accept the task. “Madam, Cong’s handwriting isn’t very good. There are some words that he might not know. Will it delay Madam’s work?”

“No, I’ll just need him to write the gift list,” Ye Muyu explained the tasks that she needed help with.

When Madam Hu heard this, she was relieved and quickly went out to call for help.

She also brought a manservant to follow Chu Jin.

Ye Muyu ate the vermicelli slowly. The tofu skin was very tasty. After soaking it in advance, it was soft and tender. After eating a few mouthfuls of the hot vermicelli, she felt a wave of heat rising all over her body. The cold air was dispelled. After drinking a sip of the greasy tea, she felt very comfortable.

Su Mei and Su Lan knelt on the ground nervously.

Ye Muyu only saw the two of them after eating three or four mouthfuls of vermicelli.

She came to her senses and quickly called for the two of them to get up. “Why are you kneeling? It’s so cold. Get up quickly.”
