Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Yes, Madam.” Madam Hu had already washed the dishes. She wiped her hands on her apron and walked to the cutting board. She picked out the rice dumplings from the comb and divided them into three portions.
Fortunately, when she was in charge of storing them, she had categorized them, so she could distinguish them now.
After choosing the dumplings, Ye Muyu called Chu Heng and Zhang Shu to send the dumplings to the old mansion and Second Brother.
When Chu Heng returned, he met Chu Xing, who was carrying wood.
“Ah Xing, please help me look after Lil’ Jin today. He doesn’t want to go to the county anymore. He’s very curious about you selling the Zhuge Lock.”
“Brother Heng? I see. Sure, no problem. Lil’ Jin is quite sensible and won’t run around. Coincidentally, I bought some new wood.”
After Chu Xing found out that Zhuge Lock could earn him money, he went back to his clan and found some of his close brothers to help make the Zhuge Locks.
With more people, he found more wood.
He would need to spend a lot of time just to paint.
The Zhuge Lock was very expensive, so he could earn money no matter what. He could only say that making one more would earn him more money.
“Yeah, but don’t be too ostentatious. It’s easy to attract people’s attention,” Chu Heng warned.
“Brother Heng, I know. Are you still going to the county to watch the competition today?” Chu Xing nodded.
“I heard that Brother Lin’s niece, Qingxiang, is doing very well. Ziluo is already in the top 100 at such a young age. In another two years, she might even be in the top 10.” Chu Xing had earned money and felt that everything was pleasing to the eye. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was happy.
“Then you can go back. I’ll accompany your sister-in -law to the county,” Chu Heng said.
By the time Chu Heng returned, Ye Muyu had already packed the carriage.
This time, they only brought Zhang Shu to drive the carriage. Hu Shi, Nenya, and Zhang Cong stayed at home.
An hour later, they arrived at the county.
The number of people was still the same as yesterday. It was not chaotic, and clearly more orderly.
After entering the city gate, they once again parked the carriage in the courtyard of the first branch in the county.
It was not long before the competition, so the whole family went to the competition venue first.
Today, Madam Liu and Chu Zhiwen stayed in the courtyard and did not come over. Chu Lin was waiting at the city gate for his uncle’s family. Because of the Wang family’s incident yesterday, the Lin family said that Old Master Lin would also come.
Since they had received the letter and it was about the only daughter of the Lin family, Madam Liu naturally had to let her son go over to guard her in case he missed it. One had to know that her father was not young anymore, and his legs were not agile.
In the morning, they would compete in the tea ceremony.
During the competition, Chu Heng had left twice and by the time he returned, Chu Ziluo had already finished her match.
After picking up the child, Chu Heng did not return to the first branch’s courtyard lived.
He was informed by Xie Yu’s people to meet at the Fragrance Restaurant.
Chu Heng stood by the street, waiting for Ye Muyu to come over.
“Are we going back to the courtyard now?” Ye Muyu held Chu Ziluo’s hand and saw Lu Chuan standing behind Chu Heng. He must have heard about the Wang family.
Chu Heng’s gaze fell on her. “Lu Chuan will accompany you back later. I’ll go to the Fragrance Restaurant to see Xie Yu. You can ask Lu Chuan directly about the Wang family. He already knows everything.”
“Eh?” Ye Muyu was a little surprised. She had thought that she had found out about the grudge between the two families, but now it seemed that she had already thought of a way to resolve the matter between the two families. It was much faster than she had imagined.
Although she was surprised, she did not show it on her face. She nodded lightly. “Okay, go ahead. Don’t drink too much. It’s easy to get into trouble with too many people.”
“Alright.” Warmth flashed in Chu Heng’s eyes.
Lu Chuan waved his hand and nodded..
