PWDLAW Chapter 710: Reception

 Chapter 710: Reception

"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 specific situation, but that child did a small business with his own private funds."

"Come, continue eating. County Magistrate Xu, try it. It's just been heated, eating it will make you feel comfortable."

County Magistrate Xu was somewhat unable to eat. He felt that he had indirectly confirmed that the relationship between the Chu and Xie families was not ordinary.

Feeling somewhat disinterested in the food and a little annoyed, he took a bite and then...

He heard Old Master Xie say, "These desserts are delicious. If we promote them as a local specialty snack in our county, I wonder if they can become as famous as Dongpo Pork."

"If handled properly..." County Magistrate Xu understood. The other party deliberately said this to remind him that no matter how the Xie family was in the past, it would be the same in the future. He shouldn't worry too much.

County Magistrate Xu breathed a sigh of relief, put aside his worries, and tasted the desserts with Old Master Xie, no longer thinking about those troubling matters.

Soon after.

The scholars and wealthy gentry arrived one after another.

Before long, everyone had arrived, and the Chu family's courtyard was quickly filled up. Because the seating arrangement had been made according to the number of people, there was no shortage of seats.

This also saved Ye Muyu a lot of trouble.

There were fewer people in the female section, so four tables were combined, with a group of ladies and their daughters sitting together.

The seating arrangement was reasonable and had been consulted with Mrs. Xie after discussing with Chu Heng.

Chu Liushi sat at the top.

Ye Muyu accompanied Xiang Linger to the lower section and looked at Chu Liushi from afar.

On both sides were various ladies and young misses, with those closer to Chu Liushi naturally having higher status.

"Lady He, Lady He, please try these desserts. If there's anything you need, just let me know, and I'll have the servants prepare it." The He family were relatively ordinary landlords in Nanchang County, so they were ranked last. However, with Ye Muyu sitting by their side, they didn't feel any resentment.

With a prominent lady accompanying them, what was there to complain about? Although they couldn't get close to Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xie, dealing well with the new lady was definitely satisfying for their master at home.

"Lady, don't be so polite. Just now, I heard Mrs. Xie calling you Ah Yu. How about we call you the same way? It'll make us feel closer." Ye Muyu naturally nodded with a smile, "That's fine, as long as the ladies don't mind."

"Quick, call her Sister Ah Yu."

The two ladies were a generation older than Ye Muyu, so their daughters were naturally of the same generation as Ye Muyu.

Both ladies had brought a daughter of suitable age. Ye Muyu vaguely sensed some deeper meaning, but she didn't mention it. She just smiled and nodded, introducing each dessert's name and taste.

"Sister Ah Yu is indeed clever. We've never tasted these desserts before."

"Quick, try it."

The two ladies were very courteous and only tasted a little, so Ye Muyu had prepared accordingly and didn't serve too much.

"Ah Yu, who is this young girl next to you? I remember your children are still young, aren't they?" Lady He found a topic to chat with Ye Muyu.

Perhaps because both parties wanted to get along with the Chu family, Ye Muyu basically didn't hear any difficult words. She was naturally willing to get along with them, "This is my cousin. She came to congratulate my husband this time. I thought I'd bring her along to broaden her horizons. As for my daughter, although she's young, she's gone out to play with her younger brother."

Chu Ziluo and Chu Jin had indeed gone out of the house.

They usually ate quite a few pastries and desserts, so they weren't craving them. However, there were still some good friends in the village, so Chu Jin took some desserts out to share.
