Chapter 670: Sending Off the Maid

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chu Hongmei did not like the others, but she wanted to befriend Chu Heng.

However, Chu Heng actually taunted Qingxue like that just now. Chu Hongmei was a bit angry and deliberately threw a tantrum. Since this matter started because of Ye Muyu, she naturally wanted to find a chance to step on her.

Originally, she wanted to get along with Madam Liu, her third sister-in-law. After all, the two families might be in-laws in the future. Who knew that the other party would be as ungrateful as before, wasting all her effort.

Naturally, she could not tolerate it anymore and mocked back.

However, after hearing Chu Xingjun’s reminder, she thought about it and agreed. There was no need to waste her breath on these people. It was better to please Chu Heng than anything else, so she quieted down and did not speak anymore.

However, she could not calm down at all. After sitting down, she pointed at some girls of the right age and asked Chu Xingjun who they were.

Chu Xingjun did not want her to make a fuss, so she was still cooperative. In any case, she did not think that Ah Heng was the kind of person who would go along with this Second Aunt’s temper. Since that was the case, what was there to worry about?

It was enough to help stabilize her.

Luo Qingxue found an excuse and went to the door with her personal servant girl to see the situation.

At this moment…

The door of the courtyard was wide open.

Landlord He spoke to Chu Heng, praising him for being young and talented.

He also asked about his relationship with the Xie family.

There were many gifts, all kinds of new furniture, even fields, and food.

Chu Heng did not reject them and accepted them all. In the future, if the family wanted to develop in the county, it was necessary to interact with these squires. These gifts would be returned when the other party’s family held a wedding.

Although Landlord He’s family had average assets, they had developed in Nanchang County for over ten years and had some foundation. However, many of their fields were distributed under the jurisdiction of several neighboring counties, and they also had over 60,000 square feet of land.

Currently, Chu Heng’s and Ye Muyu’s combined land was only around 3500 square feet. It was not a lot, but there were quite a few shops. After all, the Landlord Wang’s family mainly relied on shops.

Landlord He was very happy. Chu Heng invited him in for tea and booked a table for him alone.

Landlord He did not stay for long. Ye Muyu took the opportunity when he left to give him an invitation.

When Chu Heng sent Landlord He off, he was still smiling kindly.

The arrival of Landlord He was like opening a gate.

Following closely behind was Landlord He, who had the same assets as Landlord He and opened a rice shop in the county.

After them were the Sun family, the Chen family, and the Hu family, which had more assets.

Then, it was the Xie family and the Du family.

Xie Yu did not come personally. He had also passed the high scholar examination, and now there were many people visiting the Xie residence. Madam Xie was so busy that she could barely take a break, and Xie Yu also needed to be responsible for entertaining guests.

However, he had called Butler Xie over to give Chu Heng enough face. The gift was a real estate, a second-class residence in the county, and countless other things.

Du Heng came personally. He had broadened his horizons in the prefecture city and had the intention to participate in the exam three years later.

Apart from the squires, County Magistrate Xu also sent someone to send gifts over.

The teachers and classmates of the academy also came to congratulate him one by one. They gave him many gifts, and Chu Heng accepted them all.

Other than that, there were also beautiful maids.

However, Chu Heng rejected them.

If it was someone superior giving the maids to him, he would have handled it differently. However, it was just a local squire. He did not have to accept it.

Because of this, the women in the village joked that Chu Heng loved his wife, so he was unwilling to accept those beautiful maids.

Ye Muyu also sent invitations to all the guests and confirmed the date of the banquet.

Along the way, she heard many people discussing Chu Heng’s rejection of the beautiful servant girl.
