Together with Madam Liu, they toasted the guests at the female table.
Chu Heng toasted the guests at the male table one by one.
When it was Luo Dahai’s turn, he smiled brightly and stood up to greet him. “Ah Heng, congratulations on passing the exam.”
“Thank you.” Chu Heng raised his glass lightly, not clinking glasses with him.
Seeing this, the others hurriedly stood up and toasted.
Chu Heng naturally would not let the elders stand up. “Uncles, you’re too polite. You’re the elders, so just sit.”
“Then we won’t stand on ceremony. Ah Heng, we uncles can’t help you much. Instead, we’ll be basking in your glory. Today, we’ll toast to you. May you prosper even more in the future.”
“Right, right, right. Maybe Ah Heng will be able to get the top scorer in the future.”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
Everyone was so happy that they immediately smiled and praised Chu Heng.
Chu Heng had a faint smile on his face. His gentle appearance made Luo Dahai narrow his eyes. He did not expect Chu Heng to have such a good personality.
“Ah Heng, Uncle Luo felt very guilty for not being able to support your studies in the past. You have to give me a chance this time. I have some good paper, ink, brush, and inkstone in my shop. Ah Heng, when you are free, come to my house as a guest. I’ll give you the best. When you go to Jing City to take the exam next spring, if you pass, I’ll be able to brag to outsiders for the rest of my life.”
“Uncle Luo, you’re too polite.” Chu Heng did not say yes or no.
Luo Dahai could not figure out what he meant.
However, his words made the other relatives present also have thoughts. They said one after another, “Ah Heng, if you go to Jing City in the spring, I’m afraid it will be very cold. Third Uncle will make sheepskin boots for you.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I’ll make a hand stove.”
Chu Heng smiled faintly. “Thank you, uncles. Don’t worry, I’ve prepared everything. Uncle Luo, you don’t have to stand on ceremony either. The government will prepare the ink and brush for the exam.”
This was a clear rejection.
Luo Dahai was a little unwilling. “Ah Heng, you don’t have to be so polite with me. I don’t have any other abilities, but I have a small shop. From time to time, I’ll have some rare goods.”
“Ah Heng, are you willing to come over?”
“Since Uncle Luo has invited me so warmly, I’ll pay you a visit when I’m free.” Chu Heng’s smile was as gentle as jade, completely different from his usual indifference.
Luo Dahai was delighted when he saw that he had agreed. He quickly said, “Alright, alright. When you have time, give me a message. I’ll send someone to pick you up.”
Chu Heng agreed with a faint smile.
After Ye Muyu and Madam Liu had finished entertaining the guests, they sat down to eat.
Ziluo and Lil’ Jin were already alone in the kitchen. Madam Hu had prepared food for the two children, so they were not hungry.
At this moment, the two children were accompanied by Nenya and Zhang Cong.
Perhaps the children had been warned by the adults, so when Chu Jin and Ziluo went out to play, the children basically listened to them.
Ye Muyu’s attention fell on Luo Qingxue and Chu Hongmei from time to time. She thought that the two of them would have some action, but who knew that until the end of the banquet, the two of them actually obediently said goodbye and left.
Ye Muyu narrowed her eyes as she watched the carriage leave. She could not tell what the other party was planning.
After that, other relatives who were far away left because of urgent matters.
In the end, there were still quite a few left. They continued the banquet at night.
After a busy day, Ye Muyu did not forget to wash up at night.
Chu Heng only returned when she was already sitting on the bed and was about to rest.
Seeing that his hair was still wet, Ye Muyu got up and took a clean towel from the cabinet. After letting him sit down, she began to slowly dry it.
