On the other hand, Old Madam Zhang and Old Madam Jiang saw that Ye Muyu and Ziluo had personally washed up and quickly sped up their actions, hoping to reduce the burden on their two masters. Otherwise, it would not be good if Chu Heng were angry and sold them away.
Chu Heng had become a high scholar, and his status toward the servants had become even higher.
Previously, he could only be considered a scholar, but now he could be addressed as Old Master. It was enough to show that his social status had risen.
Although Ye Muyu could tell, she did not say anything. It was a good thing that the servants were diligent. It was better than raising a group of lazy people.
After cleaning up the dishes, Chu Ziluo went out to play.
Ye Muyu returned to her room and took out some cream to wipe her hands.
It was lunchtime, but the room was too small. The students were still drinking tea in the courtyard and talking about the provincial examination questions. Among the few scholars who went to consult this time, only Chu Heng and Xie Yu passed.
Xie Yu was a Young Master, so most students could not come into contact with him.
They all came to look for Chu Heng.
Ye Muyu was also embarrassed to take an afternoon nap at home when there were so many guests.
After thinking about it, she did not sleep.
After drinking some green tea, Ye Muyu thought for a while and informed Madam Hu. Then, she went out and went to the old residence.
As soon as she walked out, she bumped into Madam Qian, who had just come out of Chu Xing’s room.
“Ah Yu, where are you going?” Madam Qian walked up to her enthusiastically when she saw her.
“By the way, Ah Xing’s furniture and gifts are still there. I’m worried about so many things. I’ll ask my eldest son to come over and sleep with Ah Xing tonight and watch over the place, in case anyone sneaks in.”
“Sorry for the trouble, Fifth Aunt. The house is too small and I don’t think it can fit in. However, there will be a banquet in the next few days, so I’m afraid it will have to be closed for a few days. However, there’s no need to trouble Brother Xueqin. I’ll call the servants in the house to guard it. They are skilled. Ordinary thieves won’t dare to come.”
“That’s fine too. I’m just afraid that there are so many valuable things. You didn’t see it, but the furniture is made of very good materials. I’ve never seen it before. Sigh, there’s also the fortune cakes. I’m afraid it won’t last long.”
Ye Muyu patted her head. “I would have been busy if you hadn’t mentioned it, Fifth Aunt. I thought there were only dead things here. I thought I could keep them forever.”
“Then I’ll call someone over to bring out the pastries.”
“Sure.” Madam Qian could not bear to see waste. Hearing this, she smiled and nodded in agreement.
Ye Muyu turned around and called Lu Chuan over to help.
There were really a lot of fortune cakes. There were a total of seven or eight baskets. Basically, every family had given them.
With so many dishes and the weather not too cold, the taste would not be too good even if he wanted to leave it for the banquet three days later.
With a wave of her hand, Ye Muyu sent some to each family. She gave some to all her close relatives in the village.
Ye Muyu did not need to be bothered with the delivery of the pastries. Lu Chuan called Zhang Shu, Han Zhuang, and a few others, and it was done.
Ye Muyu followed Madam Qian to the old mansion.
Madam Qian was speechless. “That’s a lot. But it’s good that you gave it to me. It’s a favor. I can’t finish it at home. It will go bad sooner or later.”
“It’s a big day, so everyone should be happy together. It’s only right.” Ye Muyu smiled.
“You have a good personality and are generous. Unfortunately, some people are just greedy.” As Madam Qian spoke, she suddenly thought of something and smiled. “I’m afraid you don’t know. After Chu Hongmei was chased out, she still didn’t want to leave. However, with Ah Heng’s words, no one dared to keep her.”
“She could only get on the carriage and leave. However, when I saw her leave, her eyes were filled with hatred. I’m afraid she’s going to find trouble with you.”
Ye Muyu frowned slightly, but soon calmed down. “I’ve already offended her. I’m not afraid of her revenge.”
