“It should be. At that time, Ah Heng’s family probably needed money, so he found Ah Yu to do business. I don’t know the exact situation. That child used his private property to do a small business.”
“Come, come, come. Continue eating. Lord Xu, try it. It’s just nice that it’s hot. You’ll feel good after eating it.”
County Magistrate Xu could not take it anymore. He felt that he had indirectly proved that the relationship between the Chu family and the Xie family was not ordinary.
He did not know what to eat and felt a little irritated, so he took a bite too. Then…
Old Master Xie said, “This dessert is delicious. If we develop it as a specialty snack in our county, I wonder if it can become as famous as Dongpo Pork.”
“If it’s done properly…” County Magistrate Xu understood that the other party was deliberately reminding him that the Xie family would maintain their status and that he did not have to worry.
County Magistrate Xu heaved a sigh of relief and went to taste the desserts with Old Master Xie. He did not want to think about those troublesome things.
Very quickly.
The students, the rich, and the gentry came one after another.
Very soon, everyone had arrived. The Chu family’s courtyard was quickly filled. Because the seats were arranged according to the number of people, there was no shortage of seats.
This saved Ye Muyu a lot of trouble.
There were even fewer people in the female seats, so they were joined together by four tables. A group of madams and young ladies sat next to each other.
The seating arrangement was reasonable. Ye Muyu consulted Madam Xie and discussed it with Chu Heng.
Madam Liu was seated at the front.
Ye Muyu accompanied Xiang Ling ‘er down the table and looked at Madam Liu from afar.
On both sides sat the various madams and young ladies. The closer they were to Madam Liu, the higher their status would be.
“Mrs. He, Mrs. Hong, try these desserts. If there is anything you need, just let me know. I will arrange for the servants to prepare.” The He family and the Hong family were considered the average landowners in Nanchang County, which was why they were at the end of the line. However, with Ye Muyu sitting beside them, they could not bear any resentment.
With the high scholar’s wife accompanying them personally, what was there to be dissatisfied about? Although they could not get close to Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xie, their husbands would definitely be satisfied to have a good relationship with the new high scholar’s wife.
“Young Madam, you’re too polite. I heard Mrs. Xie call you Ah Yu just now. Why don’t we call you that too? It also makes us seem closer.”
“Of course.” Ye Muyu nodded with a smile. “As long as you don’t mind.”
“Quick, call Big Sister Ah Yu.”
The two were a generation older than Ye Muyu, so their daughters were naturally of the same generation as Ye Muyu.
Both of them had brought along a daughter of the right age. Ye Muyu vaguely felt that there was a deeper meaning behind it, but she did not mention it. She just smiled and nodded, and introduced the names of each dessert to them, as well as the taste.
“Ah Yu is indeed smart. We haven’t eaten these desserts before.”
“Try it.”
The two madams gave face, but they only had a small taste. Ye Muyu had also prepared beforehand, so the portion was not too much.
“Ah Yu, who is this lady beside you? I remember that your child is still young, right?” Mrs. He found a topic to chat about with Ye Muyu.
Perhaps the two of them wanted to be on good terms with the Chu family, so they did not make it hard for Ye Muyu/ Naturally, she was willing to get along with them. “This is my cousin-in-law. She came to congratulate my husband this time. I wanted to bring the child here to broaden her horizons. My daughter, though young, took her brother out to play.”
Chu Ziluo and Chu Jin had indeed gone out.
The two of them usually ate quite a lot of pastries and desserts, so they were not greedy. However, they still had some good friends in the village, so Chu Jin took the desserts out to share.
