Ye Muyu remembered that ever since the servants came to the house, she had hung her underwear in the east wing room, so no one else could see it. Although Chu Heng saw it, he did not say anything.
Ye Muyu naturally did not realize what was wrong with this.
Now that he thought about it, Chu Heng probably did not pay attention to this matter at all, and naturally would not pay attention to this detail.
It was also fortunate that Madam Hu had reminded her today. Otherwise, if she was noticed by outsiders, it would inevitably spread and cause more trouble.
Ye Muyu planned to make a few new pairs of knee-length underwear. She also planned to make them for herself.
She was the only modern person there, so did not have to make her children follow her habits.
Time flew by while she did her needlework.
After lunch, many young people in the village returned.
Chu Jin and Zhang Cong ran back from Fifth Aunt’s house.
They entered without stopping.
“Mother, sister is in the top 100. There will be a reward!” Chu Jin shouted as soon as he entered the courtyard.
They arrived at the central room.
When he came in and saw Ye Muyu sitting in the main seat, he quickly ran over and told her the news excitedly.
“Mother, elder sister is ranked 80th. I heard that she will be rewarded with a silver hairpin worth 500 copper coins.”
“Cousin Qingxiang has indeed entered the top ten. She’s ranked eighth. She can get a golden hairpin, 60 sq meters of land, and a bag of sugar.”
“Cousin Qingyu is ranked 100th. She just barely made it. There’s a hair accessory as a reward. It seems to be worth 200 copper coins.”
“Fifth Aunt’s daughter, Cousin Chu Juan, didn’t make it into the top 100, but she’s not sad either. Because in the past two days, she’s helped Uncle Chu Xing make the Zhuge Lock and earned 500 copper coins!”
“Mother, I’ve earned quite a bit too. In the past two days, we’ve sold 63 sets of
Zhuge Locks.”
“I earned a total of 31 strings of 500 copper coins.”
“I haven’t counted today.”
“These two days, Uncle Chu Xing has found many people to make Zhuge Locks.”
“It’s just that I’ve been drawing so much that my hands are almost crippled.” Chu Jin hugged Ye Muyu’s arm and acted coquettishly. “Mother, am I good? I can draw five sets of Zhuge Lock’s patterns every day.”
“Yeah,” Ye Muyu nodded seriously. “Lilt Jin is great.”
“Thank you for your praise, Mother. I will be even better.” Chu Jin raised his small fist and puffed his chest out as he said confidently.
Chu Jin then continued, “Mother, I have to go to school tomorrow. I don’t have time to go to the county to buy gifts for you.”
“Can I ask Uncle Lu to buy it for me?”
He did not need Ye Muyu’s reply and continued, “I’ve already thought it through. I want to buy a purple dress for my mother. My sister likes pink butterfly headwear. Uncle Chu Xing told me that there are many beautiful butterfly headwear and gold jewelry in the shops in the county.”
“But sister doesn’t like gold, so I’ll buy pink.”
“Father likes to read, but the money I earn is not enough to buy a book. I should buy him a brush. Father writes every day, so he’ll need a lot of brushes.” “Oh right, there’s also Grandpa and Grandma’s.”
“I’ll get a pair of shoes for Grandpa and a bracelet for Grandma.”
“Granny will a bracelet too. As for Granddad… I’ll just give him two strings of coins so that he can have some private money. He can buy the buns he wants to eat whenever he wants.”
Ye Muyu watched him count the number of people he wanted to get gifts for. She had a feeling that this child was really smart, but she was not surprised.
However, when he heard that he was going to give this body’s father, Ye Dejiang silver.
She was a little stunned.
She did not know if she should say that Chu Jin was too sincere or that Ye Dejiang, as an elder, had a strange personality.
“How much money will you need to spend to buy these things?” Ye Muyu remembered Chu Jin’s extravagant spending in the past and asked worriedly..
