Chapter 221 Seize the opportunity
"Why are you angry, you are still young, Haruka is six years older than you, she should be right."
"You don't need to be too stressed. In mother's heart, you are the best." Ye Muyu calmed her emotions, reached out and rubbed her face: "If you study hard, parents will be satisfied."
"Really?" The anxiety in Chu Ziluo's eyes returned to light, and she bent down to hug Ye Muyu's waist, "Mother, you are so kind, I will remember."
"As for the gossip that outsiders say, don't pay attention to it. You are mother's own daughter. It's too late to hurt you. It's not good for you. Is it good for outsiders?" Ye Muyu guessed that someone might have gossiped.
Not all of those children are as afraid of offending as adults, so they don't say the wrong thing.
Ye Muyu doesn't want her well-educated daughter to be lured into an unhealthy mind.
Squinting his eyes, he said, "Ziluo, did someone say something in front of you?"
"Mother, don't worry. If anyone says I'm not good enough in the future, I'll tell you back. Those people must be envious of my parents' ability." Chu Ziluo said proudly, all previous worries were gone.
Seeing this, Ye Muyu stopped asking questions.
After lunch, Chu Ziluo took a rest and went to Dafang Academy.
Chu Jin still has lunch break, accompanied by the elderly Zhang Cong, Ye Muyu is not worried at all that his son will be bullied.
Now Zhang Cong also goes to the school to study together, directly solving the problem of Zhang Cong's illiteracy.
Not to mention Zhang Cong's contract of selling his life in his own hands, but it is inconvenient for any of his subordinates to be illiterate.
As for Ningya, she usually reads characters with Chu Ziluo and works in the inner house, so it's okay if the progress is slower.
As for Zhang Shu, he is as illiterate as Hu.
Zhang Cong waited for the young master to fall asleep before entering his house, calling for his father to come over and take the brush that Ye Muyu gave him, and dip it in water to read on the table.
"Son, wait a minute, I forgot what you taught me yesterday... You know your father and I have a bad memory... Can I stop learning to read?" Zhang Shu's whole face was wrinkled, and he took Writing feels more tiring than working in the fields, and I feel that I am not so honored to know how to read.
Zhang Cong shook his head: "Father, no, this is what Madam ordered. You must read. Madam treats us so well. If you don't learn how to read well, will you be worthy of Madam?"
"And Ma'am's meaning is very simple. After you learn how to read, she will feel more at ease when doing things in the future. You see, Uncle Lu, not only picks up the master in the morning and at night, but Uncle Lu will do any important things at ordinary times."
"I know that Madam chooses people based on ability, so you must follow Madam's request. Otherwise, Madam will have more servants by her side. If we are still so useless, Madam, why should Madam keep us?" Zhang Cong cherished A chance to work for Ye Muyu.
How miserable he was before, how comfortable his life is now.
He doesn't think other people can live so well.
So, he will never let his wife dislike him for not being capable enough. In short, he will do whatever his wife asks him to do, and learn whatever his wife asks him to do.
Zhang Shu was a little timid at first. After all, learning to read characters was something he didn’t even dare to think about.
Now, after hearing what his son said, he was afraid for a while. That’s right, he is a servant. He must do what the master tells him to do, and he must do it well.
It seems that life is so good that he even forgot this basic requirement.
