Chapter 801: Separation
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu Heng reached out and rubbed her hand.
“I’m not tired. I rested for a while in the carriage.” Ye Muyu tilted her head and saw Xiang Ling’er looking after the two children, so she let them be.
She followed Chu Heng into the bookstore.
The bookstore had been expanded. Now, the room on the left was someone else’s wine shop, and the room on the right was their own room for reading.
The walls that were originally separated in the middle were broken through and only separated with curtains.
It made the retail area clean, tidy, and spacious, but the sound of reading and talking could be heard beside it. It was a quiet place in the midst of chaos.
The shopkeeper saw the two of them enter.
She quickly walked out from behind the counter.
“Master, Madam, you’re here.”
“Shopkeeper Zhang, this is the book for this time. When can you arrange for the storyteller to talk about it?” Ye Muyu handed Zhang Yan the book about wood ears.
Zhang Yan quickly reached out to take it. “Madam, don’t worry. I will arrange it properly.”
“Lil’ Chun, serve tea for Master and Madam.” Zhang Yan put away the book, stretched out his hand to welcome Chu Heng and Ye Muyu, and instructed Zheng Chun to pour tea.
Zheng Chun quickly responded and went into the room to pour some hot tea.
Now that the bookstore’s business was doing well, they had recruited two more apprentices. However, they were all helping the storyteller in the room where he was reading. Only Zheng Chun and Zhang Yan were busy here.
Ye Muyu and Chu Heng sat down at the table beside them.
Some students came over to buy books.
Zhang Yan went to work.
Ye Muyu poured tea for the two children and looked around. “The bookstore is finally on the right track.”
“Shall we go and take a look at the new cosmetics shop later?” Ye Muyu asked with a smile.
In the short time they had been here, three or four customers had come in to buy books.
It could be seen that the business was good. As for the seats to read books, there were even more.
“Alright.” Chu Heng nodded.
After the two of them drank a cup of tea, Zhang Yan finished his work and walked over quickly with the account book in his hand.
“Master, Madam, this is the latest month’s account book.”
Ye Muyu took it from him. “Shopkeeper Zhang, you go ahead. I’ll take a look first.”
“Mother, I want to go to the county for a walk.” Chu Jin tugged at Ye Muyu’s clothes and acted coquettishly.
Ye Muyu thought about it. The two children had not been to the county for a long time. She looked at Chu Heng. “Why don’t we let Han Zhuang take the two children out for a walk?”
“Since you want to go, then go. Be careful.” Chu Heng reminded the two of them.
Chu Jin hurriedly nodded. He did not dare to disobey his father.
Han Zhuang got up with the two children. When Xiang Ling’er saw this, she stood up immediately. “Sister-in-law, I’ll go along with Ziluo and Lil’ Jin.”
“Brother Heng, I just remembered that I ordered some ready-made clothes from the shop and haven’t picked them up yet,” Du Heng immediately said.
Ye Muyu glanced at him. Seeing that his gaze had landed on Ling’er many times, she could not help but smile. She could not help but glance at Chu Heng to see his reaction.
“Since you’re going, help me buy two pieces of autumn clothing for Ziluo and Chu Jin.” Chu Heng glanced at him.
“There’s also Ling’er’s.” Ye Muyu added.
“Cousin-in-law, I don’t need it.” Xiang Ling’er blushed and waved her hand to reject.
“It’s alright, go ahead.”Ye Muyu smiled.
“Brother Heng, Sister-in-law, I’ll be leaving first. As for buying clothes, I still know how to do it. Don’t worry. When the time comes, do I send Lil’ Jin and the others back to the bookstore or my house?”
Ye Muyu raised her eyebrows slightly. Was he trying to take this opportunity to bring Ling’er back to meet her parents?
“Depends on the time.” When Chu Heng said this, Du Heng immediately smiled.
