Hongzhi looked at the ink stick Ye Xinyan handed over and was startled. Was she asking him to grind ink for Liu Qing? Hongzhi had only ever ground ink for the Sixth Master and it seemed he had never served anyone else in this regard.
Hongzhi was just stunned for a moment but soon thought that it indeed wouldn't be fitting for Miss Ye of the Ye Family to attend to the ink for the manager. He quickly took it over and started grinding with water in the ink stone.
When Ye Xinyan pushed the paper and brushes forward, Liu Qing gave her another look, admitting that his handwriting was not fit for others to see, and speaking frankly about it. The woman's behavior and manner were actually quite generous. However, he still doubted whether such a village woman had the ability to manage affairs.
