Chapter 1312 -1309: Zhong Yan Comes to the Shop

Chu Sheng asked, “Is everything in the shop taken care of? We can help.”

Chu Lin waved his hand, “There’s nothing much, your cousin and I can handle everything. Besides, there are servants from our old home who are experienced hands. The shop will also arrange for two apprentices, and we have Shopkeeper Zhang.”

“Then, Father, Third Uncle, we’ll go rest now.” Upon hearing this and confirming there was no need for help, Chu Sheng nodded and agreed to go rest,

Chu Zhang, seeing his older brother agreeing, also nodded in assent.

He was indeed tired, influenced by the other students, he had not rested well these past nine days and was struggling to hold on, but he did not want to worry the elders and had been enduring it.

Before leaving, he said somewhat sheepishly, “Uncle, if there’s anything that needs to be done, just wake me up.”

“Go rest, you have dark circles under your eyes. There’s nothing pressing now, just get some good rest,” Chu Lin understood his shyness and felt the child was sincere, patting him on the shoulder.

The two went back to their room which had been prepared earlier, and not long after lying down, they fell asleep, putting aside any shyness.

The brothers rested for an entire day and did not wake up until the next morning.

In between, they had gotten up to eat a little dinner and had gone straight back to sleep without any delays.

The next morning.

As they came out of their room.

Hearing the lively noise outside the shop, Chu Zhang looked at his big brother somewhat sheepishly and scratched his head, “Big brother, I’m sorry for waking up late.”

“Ahem, let’s wash up. I got up late too.” Chu Sheng’s ears turned red with embarrassment, thankful that it was the honest Chu Zhang witnessing it, otherwise it would have been noticed long ago.

“Father and the others left some food for us in the kitchen, let’s eat before going to help in the shop,” Chu Sheng said as he led Chu Zhang to the kitchen.

There were porridge and side dishes in the pot.

After eating quickly, they washed the dishes and then went to the front of the shop.

At this time, there were quite a few customers in the shop, many of whom were students who had come for the exam and also some servants from local gentry families, who came to curry favor with Chu Heng.

However, Chu Lin firmly refused to accept any gifts from anyone, so these people naturally could only buy more ink, hoping to make a good impression on the Chu family, because after a few days, probably only the Chu family’s servants would be here.

Chu Lin and Chu Xing were well aware of these people’s intentions, but both behaved according to the rules, offering discounts for bulk purchases and taking care of every customer meticulously, leaving no room for faultfinding.

Chu Lin was somewhat busy.

Seeing the two come out, he instructed Chu Sheng, “You can choose to go out or stay in the shop and help with the customers.”

“We’ll talk about everything else later.”

Chu Sheng nodded.

Together with Chu Zhang, they chose to stay in the shop and assist in serving the customers.

They recognized many of the students and effortlessly helped with introductions.

“Brother Chu Sheng?”

Just as Chu Sheng finished assisting a student, he turned around to see Zhong Yan, holding a geomancy painted fan, entering the shop with a dashing manner, fanning himself casually, and a smile on his face.

“Brother Zhong?” When Chu Sheng saw him, his heart skipped a beat, subconsciously feeling a bit reluctant to interact, but he quickly regained his composure and greeted him with a smile, “How come you’re here?”

“Didn’t we say before, Brother Chu Sheng, that we have a connection? Besides, I’ve heard that this Oil Smoke Ink is researched by Lord Chu, it must have its special points. Here I am, just to have a look,” Zhong Yan said straightforwardly while selecting the ink, also inquiring with apparent concern.
