Chapter 2535: Chapter 2532: Bringing Chu Jin Over
Just heard someone visiting from outside.
“Sir, Lady Su has brought a few dishes over, saying she heard the lady likes them and wants her to try them.”
“Also, it’s Young Master from the Wang family, saying the Young Master was startled, and has brought some pastries over to apologize.”
Chu Heng said: “Accept them all. Return a few dishes to Lady Su; as for the Wang family, tell them not to worry about it.”
He didn’t like people ing to disturb the family meal, so he dealt with it quickly.
It wasn’t long before the dishes and pastries from the Su and Wang families were sent over.
“It really is something I like to eat.” Ye Muyu raised an eyebrow.
“Nuanbao’s are more like new-style pastries.”
“Since they’re sent over, let’s eat them. The Su family’s master is quite skilled in handling affairs, after all, he’s been immersed in the official circle for years, and need to observe his character further, just wait for July or August to know the situation.”
Ye Muyu understood that Chu Heng wanted to try to select some officials with high standards, which Ye Muyu agreed with, as it could lead to future promotions, benefiting both the Chu family and the imperial court.
After finishing lunch.
Ye Muyu took Nuanbao for an afternoon nap.
She was just getting ready to tidy up and head to the mountain’s Buddha Hall to offer incense and ask for guidance.
“Lady, Young Master has arrived.” Su Mei’s voice came in from outside.
Ye Muyu said: “Let him go to the guest room first, I’ll be out shortly.”
Ye Muyu dressed Nuanbao, her own clothes were simple, while changing, Chu Heng emerged from behind the screen, carrying Nuanbao out, then turned back to help Ye Muyu b her hair.
“Your hair has gotten tangled from the wind and sand.” Ye Muyu frowned, very displeased with this.
“I’ll help wash your hair tonight.” Chu Heng’s voice was gentle.
“Alright.” Ye Muyu was pleased; in Great Chu, a woman’s hair was not only for aesthetics but also represented her status.
The higher the status of a woman, the more hair she has, the more elaborate her hairstyles, and even wigs were popular.
Ye Muyu’s hair was cultivated by herself, although not extraordinarily thick, it was quite black and looked beautiful when bed.
The downside was that washing it was quite a chore, yet she couldn’t cut it.
Seeing Ye Muyu’s troubled expression, Chu Heng suddenly said: “Otherwise, I’ll help you cut your hair? If you need to attend a banquet, just use a wig.”
“…Is it possible?” Ye Muyu was somewhat tempted.
“Don’t you like short hair? On regular days, you don’t have to worry, it’s also easier to wash.”
Ye Muyu touched her hair, thought for a moment, and said: “Forget it, it took a lot of effort to grow it this well. After all, no wall is pletely airtight, and if it gets out that I have short hair, who knows how they’d ridicule me behind my back.”
“Moreover, this hair is protected by you personally, Ah Heng, I can’t bear to cut it.” Ye Muyu would never admit it’s because of the last reason that she discarded the idea of cutting her hair.
Chu Heng smiled, “Alright.”
After finishing bing her hair, the two of them walked out hand in hand.
By the time Chu Jin had already had two cups of tea in the guest room. He had finished sharing brotherly care with Nuanbao and, seeing that his parents hadn’t e out yet, couldn’t help but smack his lips, thinking his parents were really lovey-dovey.
Just as he thought this, he heard footsteps.
Chu Jin quickly turned his head, saw the two of them, hurriedly weled them, and went to close the door personally.
Sitting obediently on the chair by the table, he asked: “Father, why did you call me here?”
“I want you to oversee the stables and organize a few petitions.” Chu Heng poured a cup of tea for Ye Muyu.
