Chapter 53

Mu Yunhan walked outside Gu's house and met Butcher Zhang head-on.

Butcher Zhang smiled when he saw her: "Come to work?"

Mu Yunhan smiled: "Uncle Zhang, is there something wrong?"

"It's done, it's done!" Butcher Zhang left humming a tune in a very good mood.

He has been worried about his daughter's marriage. Gu Fenglin asked Goddess Gu for him. Goddess Gu made a prediction and said that marriage is close at hand, so just wait and don't make any announcement, otherwise there will be changes.

He won't say it, and no one will say it, hehe.

Goddess Gu had just finished doing things for Butcher Zhang, and the room was full of the smell of incense, candles, paper money, and when she saw Mu Yunhan, she said, "Clean up and go do the laundry."

Mu Yunhan didn't say anything, neatly packed it up and went to collect the clothes for washing.

There were only a few snow-white silk robes in the basin, all of which belonged to Gu Fenglin. They were not dirty, but they were just a daily outfit.

The Gu family had their own well, so the work was not strenuous at all. Mu Yunhan quickly washed and dried it, and then went to help Goddess Gu with the kitchen work.

Goddess Gu handed her a basket: "I can do the kitchen work. When the cherries are ripe, pick them, wash them, and send them to Feng Lin."

Yes, I haven’t seen Gu Fenglin in the past half day.

Mu Yunhan then glanced into the study room and saw Gu Fenglin sitting across the window, lowering his head and writing, which was already a painting in itself.

The weather has been good this year, and the cherries have grown big and red. When you try one, it is very sweet. Mu Yunhan picked a basket of the ripe ones, washed them, put them on a white porcelain plate, and gave them to Gu Fenglin.

Gu Fenglin saw her, smiled slightly, and motioned for her to study the ink.

Mu Yunhan rolled up his sleeves and studied ink, and found two eyes falling on her wrists. He immediately slid his sleeves down to cover them tightly.

Gu Fenglin withdrew his gaze and handed over a piece of paper: "I heard that you and Mu An had a hard time collecting firewood and digging wild vegetables. From now on, my family will arrange all the firewood and water for your family."

Mu Yunhan was stunned and said that she and Mu An had no labor, so solving the problem of firewood and water was a big help.

But the Gu family didn't hire any other servants. Old Man Gu and Goddess Gu did many things themselves.

Firewood was bought with money. If she accepted it, she would be taking advantage of them.

Gu Fenglin paid her wages and also returned her body deed, so she couldn't push her too far.

He immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "No reward for no merit, I will do the work. The young master has already calculated the wages to me, so I can't take more."

Gu Fenglin's smile did not change and he stroked Xuan Jin.

Xuan Jin suddenly became furious, jumped off his knees, glared at Mu Yunhan with a depressed look, and ran away like lightning.

"Hey, what's going on with Xuan Jin?" Mu Yunhan chased him out and saw Xuan Jin lying down under the wisteria flower stand. He was relieved and said, "I'll make tea for the young master."

Gu Fenglin smiled brightly at her.

While making tea, Mu Yunhan said: "Master, I have obtained my house deed and land deed. I would like to ask you for a day off and go to the fields to have a look."

Gu Fenglin nodded absently, pushed a plate of cherries in front of her, and motioned for her to eat.

Mu Yunhan was already greedy, so he immediately picked up a cherry and put it into his mouth. After eating seven or eight cherries, he stopped eating and went to make tea. (To be continued)
