Chapter 430: Banquet

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation      Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The other relatives did not stay any longer. Since Chu Heng had invited them to the banquet, they naturally did not want to miss such a happy occasion.

All the families were prepared.

After the other families went home to change their clothes and prepare to go to the county, Ye Muyu and Madam Hu cleaned up the tea cups and the house.

She quickly changed her clothes and went out to take a carriage to the county.

Madam Liu stopped Ye Muyu. “You guys go to the county first. Clean up the shop. I’ll go back with your father and take this ox cart.”

“Mother, do you need to use the mule cart at home?” Ye Muyu asked gently.

Madam Liu waved her hand. “No need. There aren’t many people coming. Your elder brother-in-law and sister-in-law have to stay at home to prepare for Qingxiang’s wedding. It’s just me, your father, and your second brother-in-law’s family with a child. The ox-cart is enough for us.”

Ye Muyu could tell that Madam Liu was telling her the number of people that her family was going to attend. The other families did the same. Knowing the number would be good for arranging the banquet.

Chu Heng had already gone to the Fragrance Restaurant yesterday to book a banquet. This time, there would probably be many people coming.

Just by inviting Third Young Master Xie, many students would probably come.

However, Ye Muyu did not feel bad at all when she thought about the books and test papers that she would sell. The more people there were, the more the reputation of the bookstore would spread. If the books were sold, it would be a

large sum of money.

However, she also knew that in the future, when Chu Heng entered the officialdom, there would be many such banquets.

It was not a bad thing to get familiar with it first.

“Father, Mother, we’ll wait for you in the county.” Chu Heng lifted the curtain

of the carriage.

“Alright, go ahead.” Chu Zhiwen said with a smile. When Chu Heng explained the matter of the bookstore to him, he felt a sense of pride in him as he basked in the glory of his son.

When he was in a good mood, he would naturally do everything smoothly and would not be calculative.

Madam Liu nodded her head and watched Chu Heng’s carriage leave. She quickly looked at Chu Cai and said, “Ah Heng, bring Brother Zhang with you later. Come to the old residence and change into our new clothes. I reckon that we will meet many scholars today. Let Brother Zhang go and broaden his horizons.”

“Hurry up. We’ll go and help earlier. Even if it’s a banquet, someone has to help arrange it.”

“Alright, Mother.” When Chu Cai heard this, he quickly went home.

Chu Zhiwen was a little surprised when he heard his wife’s words. “Didn’t Ah Heng just say that the banquet in the restaurant has been arranged? Why do we need to greet the guests?”

“The guests are here, so don’t we need to toast? You can go with Heng. There are male and female seats. Do you think it’s the same as in the countryside?” Madam Liu rolled her eyes at him helplessly. “I think you’re too happy.” She mumbled.

“Oh, I see.” Chu Zhiwen was not angry at his wife’s disdain. He was happy in his heart. With his hands behind his back, he happily went home.

She changed into a new set of clothes and even took out the leather shoes that she had not taken out to wear. She used a small brush to brush them until they shone.

Over here.

Ye Muyu and Chu Heng were already halfway there.

“Have you already informed my mother?” Ye Muyu was doing the accounts while Chu Ziluo was learning from her.

She suddenly remembered and asked.

Chu Heng noticed that she did not need to use an abacus to keep accounts. She always did mental calculations. He was a little surprised. When he heard the question, he nodded. ‘Yes, I’ve already informed my relatives, including my mother-in-law. She said that she’s coming to the county. I think she’s already on her way..”
