Chapter 1539: Chapter 1536: Purchase Limit
Liu Zhe’s face showed no sign of surprise, and he curled his lips: “Hmm, don’t worry, I’ll make it clear to Mother, and I owe Miss Huo an explanation.”
Seeing the smile in his eyes, Ru Mo was so startled that her mouth slightly opened, with thousands of words in her heart, but she dared not say them in front of the young master. After all, the young master seemed to think too much; things weren’t as smooth with the lady as they appeared on Miss Huo’s side.
Scratching his head, Ru Mo felt as if he would scratch his scalp off, while still needing to pay attention to the young master’s mental changes.
Meanwhile.
Chu Heng’s unexpected return made Ye Muyu very happy. Not only did she personally prepare dinner, but Chu Ziluo also gave Chu Heng a scarf she made herself.
Looking at the care from his family, Chu Heng had never felt so calm.
That night, as he walked out of the residence, he had an extra slip of paper from a flying pigeon courier in his hand, with two addresses written boldly.
Two boxes of gold were still missing, Chu Heng murmured.
As the New Year approached, the festive atmosphere grew stronger.
Even the Chu family had started preparing for New Year’s goods, from various foods directly transported from the manor to small items for rituals, including red lanterns, celebratory couplets, and firecrackers.
After the New Year, cleaning was forbidden, so the Chu family had already begun a thorough house cleaning, with all the servants busy, and Ye Muyu reminded the big kitchen to prepare ginger soup and brown sugar water to warm the stomach.
Many female maidservants resided in the house, and while cleaning, they had to use water to wipe various utensils. If they met a minor issue, it would surely be a burden. She did not explicitly say it, but everyone had a bowl, and the kitchen fire burned constantly, not fearing the cold.
With this rule, whether servant boys or maidservants, they were full of energy, understanding it as the master’s reward—a treatment not found in other homes—and naturally, efficiency improved greatly.
“Lady, over at the shop, many people are ing to buy cotton clothes.” Chun Xing was straightforward; Ye Muyu had assigned her to watch over things, and she was determined to plete the task.
Therefore, upon learning that business at the Ready-made Clothing Shop suddenly became excellent, and the cotton clothes were in short supply, she quickly came to find Ye Muyu excitedly.
Ye Muyu listened without surprise, smiling as she asked, “What’s the situation? Speak slowly.”
Chun Xing’s face flushed with excitement: “Lady, you wouldn’t know, the shop is packed with customers, several circles deep even outside the door. Moreover, all the cotton clothes in the shop have sold out.”
“Because the price is very affordable, a piece of cotton clothing is only fifty or sixty wen, no wonder the folks are scrambling for it.”
“The servant girl saw the people, wishing they could buy more. What’s more, word spread quickly from ten to a hundred, and now even County City and village residents have heard, guessing more people will e.”
“Just as there’s nothing much to do, I’m going out to take a look.”
Chun Xing quickly said, “Lady, the servant girl will acpany you.”
Ye Muyu did not refuse, getting on the carriage, which stopped outside the shop.
The Chu family’s Ready-made Clothing Shop was located in the southern city, where residents were impoverished. Such a cheap ready-made clothing store suddenly appeared, quickly drawing attention.
One follows another.
The clothes in the shop, controlled by Ye Muyu, only had thirty new pieces daily, from being snatched up at night to being bought out as soon as the shop opened later.
Ye Muyu restricted each person to only one piece, minimizing the impact caused by those looking to profit at the opportunity.
