Those Years When I Was Cannon Fodder Chapter 8

Chu Yu's little days were enjoyable.

In the morning, she followed Mr. Mo to read in the study, and in the afternoon, she completed her homework.

Mr. Mo arranged five big characters, and the rest of the time was hers.

She focused part of her attention on the many flowers and plants in Qinglan Garden.

Because she discovered a lot of plants with medicinal value.

Some, she recognizes, some she doesn't.

But just by intuition, Chu Yu marked them spontaneously, and specifically told Qinglan Garden's only maid, Qingyu, not to remove the plants she marked as weeds. Although Qingyu was puzzled, she agreed.

The only pity is that,

Her golden finger of taste was probably destroyed too hard, and it has not been launched yet.

Or change the world and never go online.

Chu Yu was depressed for a while, and quickly cleared up her mind. After all, she has achieved so many achievements in her previous life, which cannot be achieved by a single golden finger.

Time went by so slowly, and after two months, Chu Yu only knew three hundred common words.

It is no longer necessary to write a bad calligraphy with a bad hand, otherwise it will become a mess.

The font can be roughly seen.

It must be said here that it took only two months to know 300 commonly used words. It is not that Chu Yu is deliberately hiding, but that the words in this world are too complicated.

It is many times more complicated than traditional Chinese characters.

Just like the oracle bone inscriptions written by uncivilized primitive people, from the font, it can be inferred what it means.

But that level of complexity can make people vomit blood.

Chu Yu once pretended to be naive and asked Mr. Mo, how difficult it is to read and write, isn't it possible that few people recognize it?

Mr. Mo smiled a little mysteriously, "The characters recognized by ordinary people are naturally not so complicated."

She casually wrote Chu Yu's name on the paper with a brush.

It is very close to the simplified characters in Chu Yu's previous life.

At that time, she was shocked, "Why don't you teach me this, Mr. Mo?"

Mr. Mo said, "There's no need to learn those simple words. When Miss San recognizes them all, just flip through the book and you'll know. The words I teach are different."

"What's the difference? The words are simpler, aren't they more practical?"

In Chu Yu's perception, words are a tool.

Is there any special meaning?

Mr. Mo laughed without saying a word, and was frightened by her, and finally said, "If not, why would the city lord pay three hundred gold a month to ask me to teach Miss San?"

Chu Yu's face was as steady as an old dog, but she was very shocked. Three hundred gold, does this gold mean gold?

Later, she learned from Mother Xu that the gold was indeed gold.

But gold doesn't seem to be worth much.

Mother Xu's monthly chart is one tael of gold, which is about ten taels of silver.

Of course, it is also possible that the level of the City Lord's Mansion is relatively high.

The city owner's father was wealthy, and offered a high salary to Xu's mother, and he could also afford a tutor who could afford 300 gold per month.

Thinking about what she found out later, the three hundred gold was enough for a year of food and clothing for a small rich family in the city, and Chu Yu realized the importance of the position of the city owner.

She finally has the concept that she may not only be a little prostitute, but also a daughter of a noble family.

During this period, the city owner's father only came three times.

The first time she was caught by the third lady, she probably couldn't stand her enthusiasm. The next two times she came here in the afternoon, pretending to pass by and take a look at Chu Yu, who was tinkering with flowers and plants in the yard.

Seeing that she liked it, he even gave her some seeds, and he was especially alert and slipped away before the third lady found out.

It's like putting a radar on the third lady.

For the first time, Chu Yu hadn't found out yet. Seeing him leave in a hurry, she thought it was the City Lord's Mansion that he had to deal with.

The second time they left, Chu Yu saw the third lady hurriedly running after her, but unfortunately, she came back disappointed not long after.

Outside Qinglan Garden, although there are no two guards guarding them, they are not allowed to go out.

But whether the backyard managed by the second lady or the front yard managed by the city lord father, there are maids guarding them, and the third lady will never break through.

Of course, the third lady always has her own way, just like the time when she went to find Chu Yu.

It's a pity that the city owner will find someone to block it afterwards.

The more times, the third lady became more cautious and did not dare to easily reveal her trump card.

After all, no matter how many loopholes there are, it will be almost the same after five years.

Then, the third lady chased after Chu Yu and asked what the city lord father said to her all afternoon.

She also took away Chu Yu's bag of seeds.

If she hadn't picked out some seeds and planted them intentionally, she might not have been able to keep the third.

Madam's reason is very legitimate, "You are a child, you know what kind of seeds, mother will plant them for you, and you can look at whatever you want."

What can Chu Yu do?

Although she was dressed like a child, she really couldn't do things like being coquettish.

You can only silently remember this lesson.

Probably because Chu Yu's health has improved a lot, and the third lady is not staring at her as much as before. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Chu Yu was squatting in the yard to play, while the third lady was doing needlework in her own room.

She also concocts herbs.

When Chu Yu first discovered it, she went to ask her mother to come over for dinner, and what her mother was handling at that time was a herb that Chu Yu had seen in the yard.

Chu Yu asked curiously.

The third lady said that her father was a doctor. She used to be by her father's side when she was a child, and she also knew how to handle medicinal materials.

"If it weren't for your mother, I still have the skill to make medicinal materials, how could I raise you so big?"

"It's a pity that your grandfather is a barefoot doctor and doesn't know much. I only grow these kinds of plants."

Chu Yu couldn't help asking about the medicinal herbs that she didn't know.

Some, the third lady recognized it and told her in detail, and some, the third lady didn't know either.

"It seems to have been there since I lived in this yard. I don't know what it is. I was going to pull them out, but I found that keeping them can prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants."

"Anyway, I lived in this yard for five years, and I only found a slightly venomous snake, which was quickly killed by your Aunt Qing, and later sold to a pharmacy."

"I'll keep it."

"These kinds of plants don't grow very long. Five years later, they still look the same."

Chu Yu couldn't help but said, "Maybe it's an underground root."

The third lady was taken aback for a moment, and then said,

"It doesn't matter what it looks like, since it's protected against snakes, insects, rats and ants, I'll keep it. Don't pull it out from your child's house. We women live here. If there are a few poisonous snakes, you Mother, I can't stand it."

Chu Yu angrily agreed.

But I couldn't help thinking in my heart, can I ask Mother Xu to bring her a medical book?
