However, when Du Heng realized that there were people around him, he looked away regretfully.

“I haven’t seen him before.” Du Heng put down the fungus and smiled honestly. He did nit feel embarrassed at all. “Then I won’t stand on ceremony. I’ll stay and try this cold dish.”

Zhang Yue also went over to take a look curiously. After a while, he said, “I haven’t eaten this before either. As expected, all the wealth is in the mountains. There’s not as much food in the county as in the mountains.”

“You guys are so lucky.”

“Teacher, you should stay for dinner. I’ll send someone to inform your wife,” Chu Heng said. He had never seen this black plant before, but he trusted his wife so he did not suspect anything.

“Alright, I’ll go back with Yanxu tonight. I’m not worried about anything happening.” Zhang Yue was happy that his student had passed the high scholar examination, so he did not reject him anymore.

Ye Muyu let the three of them continue talking.

She brought Xiang Ling’er into the kitchen.

Du Heng could not help but look at Ling’er. Sure enough, her back view was lovely. He could not help but ask, “Who’s that girl?”

“Eldest Aunt’s daughter.” Chu Heng looked at him meaningfully.

Du Heng immediately understood. He quickly explained with a smile, “I just think that her eyes are pretty. There are no girls in the county who are as innocent as her.”

“I just admire her.”

“Cough, cough!” Zhang Yue coughed lightly and reminded him in a slightly serious tone, “Yanxu, don’t talk about women.”

“Dean… I was wrong.” Du Heng quickly touched his nose, feeling a little awkward. Usually, he would casually say it, but he would not really do anything. It should be known that he had never even visited a brothel in recent years. The main reason was that he was not interested. After all, he was on good terms with Chu Heng, who was very principled. He was also led by Chu Heng, so he was not interested in brothels.

“Yes.” Zhang Yue nodded slightly when he saw that he had admitted his mistake. “You have to work hard for the next three years. Try to pass the examination next time.”

“Dean, I will.” Du Heng’s eyes were also much more serious. His best friend’s passing of the high scholar examination had stimulated him greatly. In addition, he had gained some knowledge from his trip to the prefecture. He felt that if he could not even pass the high scholar examination in the future, he would probably have a boring life.

In addition, he also loved to study, so he would naturally work hard for this.

Old Master Du had two sons and was a merchant. He also wanted to be a scholar and was very supportive of Du Heng’s studies.

On the other hand, Ye Muyu had entered the kitchen.

She first asked Madam Hu to boil the water.

Then, she instructed Old Madam Zhang and Old Madam Jiang to prepare the ingredients needed for the pot for dinner.

Xiang Ling’er saw that the fungus needed to soak for a while, so she followed her to help wash the vegetables.

Ye Muyu went to look for Han Zhuang.

“Madam.” Han Zhuang was chopping firewood on the dam beside the yard. When he saw Ye Muyu coming over, he quickly stood up straight and wiped the sweat on his forehead with the coarse cloth towel around his neck.

Ye Muyu gave him a piece of silver. “Go to the county and buy me some pots. It’s best if they have a divider in the middle.”

“Madam, is it the kind of pot that the squires in the county use?” “What do you mean by it being divided in the middle?” Han Zhuang asked curiously.

“It means that one pot can hold two soup bases,” Ye Muyu said.

“Alright, Madam.” Han Zhuang nodded. “I’ll go now.”

“If you can’t come back before night, forget it. Just bring back an ordinary pot first.”

“Do you have enough money?” Ye Muyu thought for a while and added another two taels of silver. “If it’s a pot with a divider in the middle, we’ll buy two pots. If not, we’ll buy four pots.”
