“Mother, I’ve never milked a cow before.” Chu Ziluo squatted beside her and watched curiously.

“This cow is so strange. It’s completely different from Grandma’s old yellow cow.”

“Mother, is this kind of cow only found in the grasslands?”

“Are grasslands very big? Is it even bigger than our village? I’ve never seen a grassland before.”

“Grasslands are filled with grass everywhere. There are no tall trees. Some are flat, and some have tall mountains. However, the tall mountains are also filled with grass and no trees,” Ye Muyu explained gently.

Chu Ziluo rubbed her chin. Realization dawned on her. “I see. It must be huge. If there are no trees, I’ll be able to see very far at once.”

“Not bad.” Thinking of the scenery of the grassland, Ye Muyu also missed the freedom of riding a horse on it. This kind of freedom was felt in Jiangnan.

“Mother, how did you know that the grasslands were like this? Mother should not have been to the grasslands like me.” Chu Ziluo was confused.

Ye Muyu did not expect her daughter to suspect her just because of her casual words. She had a flash of inspiration and came up with an excuse. “I read a book and also heard it from your father.”

“As expected.” Chu Ziluo hugged Ye Muyu’s arm. “Mother, you really have a lot of books. I want to read them too.”

Ye Muyu tapped her nose. “It’s not a problem if you want to read. But can you read?”

“If you don’t recognize the words completely, you won’t understand it.”

Chu Ziluo was a little disappointed. “Mother, can I read while I learn the words?”

“Sure.” Ye Muyu’s gaze had already fallen on Madam Huts action of squeezing the milk. Although she wanted to try it herself, it was definitely not possible now. She could only watch Madam Hu doing it.

“Really?” Chu Ziluo exclaimed happily, pulling Ye Muyu’s sleeve and spinning around.

“In a while, I’ll get a book for you to read. If there are any words you don’t know, you can ask Mother, or you can look up yourself.”

Ye Muyu was deliberately teasing her. Girls did not need to study the four books and five classics. They could read more miscellaneous notes. However, they should not read the novels to avoid having unrealistic expectations.

In this era, the most common story in novels was for a poor boy to take the imperial examination and marry the Young Miss of a big family.

It was not that she was mocking the poor boy for having high standards but low abilities. She just felt that it was not practical. Moreover, there were some values in the novels that were not right. For example, when the elders of the rich lady did not agree, the poor scholar would elope with the lady.

Now that Ye Muyu had become a mother, one could imagine how much she hated this kind of man. This was clearly kidnapping someone else’s delicate flower.

In order to increase her daughter’s knowledge, Ye Muyu had to collect some miscellaneous notes and include what she wrote.

“Thank you, Mother.” Chu Ziluo grinned happily.

Ye Muyu patted her head and stood up. “Follow me.”

“Yes, mother.” Chu Ziluo happily followed her.

Madam Hu had also finished milking the cows. The daily milk production of the cows was very high, and there were very few people in the Chu family. There was no way they could finish it.

“Child, what are you still doing here? Hurry up and serve Miss.” Madam Hu drove away Nenya.

Nenya finally realized what was going on and turned around to follow.

Madam Hu came out of the cowshed with milk. She said to Zhang Shu, “Feed this cow more good grass. Madam said that we have to give the Master, Young Master, and Young Miss milk every day. We can’t let its milk run out.”

“Then I’ll go to the river to cut some fresh grass later. The food that this cow used to eat is not quite the same as other cows. I don’t know if it will affect the milk production. There’s only a little left from the previous food..”
