Chapter 2013: Chapter 2010: Dragged Into the Water

In the afternoon, they were busy playing mahjong.

In the evening, a few of them planned to soak in the hot springs again, have the servants give them a massage, and then rest.

This time, Ye Muyu stayed out traveling for a full five days before returning to the capital.

When she returned to the capital, she received a letter from Chu Jin.

Chu Jin was still planning to go overseas with the merchant ship, not wanting to come to the capital to study, but promised to study diligently on the journey and to learn and take the imperial exams when he returned.

Ye Muyu mentioned this to Chu Heng, feeling a bit impressed by the child’s bravery: "When I was his age, I never thought about going so far."

After all, in ancient times, going to sea was a very dangerous endeavor.

Speaking of this, Ye Muyu started to feel a bit worried.

Even though she knew her worries couldn’t sway the child’s determination.

"If he is willing to go, then we’ve already investigated the dangers involved; I’ve sent some help over, and it might indeed reap unexpected rewards." Since Chu Heng agreed, he wasn’t going to waver.

He had already sent people over early on.

This time, the ship Chu Jin went on was a big one, collaborating with Third Master Zhou. Besides the Zhou Family Member, it was just the Chu family themselves, traveling together with other caravans, but by being separate, they could avoid some troubles.

Ye Muyu thought about it and felt that the only thing she could do was to provide some first aid knowledge.

Back when Chu Jin went to Hangzhou to build ships, now Chu Zhang had to go too. Three months ago, Chu Zhang married the daughter of the county magistrate’s family, and at the time it was quite lively in the County City.

Now, it’s heard that Chu Zhang’s wife is already pregnant, and Chu Zhang himself has learned a lot of shipbuilding knowledge. For him, who struggled to pass as a scholar, he turned out to have quite a talent for shipbuilding; who knows how the couple discussed it.

Chu Zhang was preparing to go along with them.

Seeing that Chu Zhang had settled things with his family, with no opposition, and his wife and child were taken care of by the parents, Ye Muyu, even if she thought that as a husband he should ideally be with his wife and child, wouldn’t speak out to stop him.

She merely looked at Chu Heng with even more tenderness, after all, Chu Heng generally didn’t like being separated from her for too long.

Knowledge of the sea, as well as maps and geography, Ye Muyu had conveyed to Chu Jin some time ago, making him figure them out himself. Although they didn’t exactly match some world maps of later times, they were more comprehensive than the understanding of this era and suited the actual situation of the time.

In fact, it was more suitable for Chu Jin to use since the information had been gathered from overseas sources, making it more practically significant.

Ye Muyu also had the clothing store hasten to make some clothes.

Sent them along with the letter to Chu Jin.

"Ah Heng, are mother and father planning to come to the capital?" Ye Muyu organized the letter, placing it in the envelope, then asked.

If they were planning to come, she would arrange for someone to clean the courtyard where they used to live in advance.

Even though it was regularly tidied, after being unoccupied for so long, some things inside needed replenishing.

Chu Heng was just finishing up amending his official duties.

Recently, things have been quite intense between Minister Qi and the Deng Family.

King Qi somehow learned of the Deng Family plotting against him, and seized the opportunity to drag the Deng Family into trouble.

This directly reached the attention of Emperor Xuanming.

Emperor Xuanming, who hadn’t handled the Deng Family before, now directly assigned the follow-up of the King of Huainan’s case to the Deng Family.

Even publicly declaring the crimes of the King of Huainan and others.

And the descendants left behind by the King of Huainan.
