When drinking with the brothers below, this idea came to him.
Then he took the silver in his hands, bought a pretty large courtyard, and invited the families of familiar brothers to make some wool yarn, then took this wool yarn to discuss business.
That’s right, he didn’t do much at all, only had samples, and went off to negotiate business deals.
After persuading many people to sign contracts and receiving some deposits, Ye Zhao began to look for people to start working.
And he used the silver received from the deposits to buy back raw materials.
In this way, the funds could circulate, and the business began to take off.
Besides, Ye Zhao had another daughter named Yun ’er; Ye Muyu had felt this child would be born soon, and this letter confirmed it.
When Chu Heng came home in the evening, he was somewhat surprised to see Ye Muyu making clothes with yarn.
"What are you doing?"
He didn’t approach Ye Muyu directly; instead, he sat by the fire basin in front of the soft couch, warmed his hands, and then changed into clean clothes before climbing onto the heated platform.
That’s right, the Chu family had long since made a heated platform for the living area. The winters in the capital were very dry and cold, and not warming oneself by the fire was certainly unfortable.
This type of heated platform was very fortable, didn’t require much firewood, and could warm the entire room.
Of course, this was because warm paths were also built into the walls.
"This is for second brother’s little daughter, Yun ’er." Ye Muyu couldn’t help but smile at the thought of the adorable child.
Nuanbao had long since fallen asleep; if Chu Heng came back earlier, Nuanbao would be beside them.
"Is this a neck warmer you’re making?" Chu Heng recognized it immediately and couldn’t resist reaching out to touch the wool yarn. It felt cozy and fortable; surely it wouldn’t scratch when worn around the neck.
"There are quite a few furs in the Northern Region; do you want to prepare some hides as well?" Chu Heng looked at the neck warmer in her hands, with a somewhat wistful expression.
He hadn’t received a handmade neck warmer from Ah Yu this year.
All the ones used at the residence were delivered from Yonghe Clothing Shop.
"But this neck warmer is made from the most fortable wool I personally selected. You said they don’t lack fur, giving them hides would lack thoughtfulness." Ye Muyu found his words a bit contradictory.
"No, what I mean is, we can send someone to the Northern Region to buy high-quality hides as gifts, something the Ye family probably can’t buy easily." Chu Heng glanced again at the neck warmer in her hands, speaking softly.
"No, good hides are too rare, they’d draw too much attention, something simple and suitable is enough for them. Besides, I had Su Mei pick out a piece of fine fox fur from the storehouse, it’s imperial bestowed, it can help second brother make an impression." Ye Muyu explained earnestly.
Chu Heng just felt more dejected, as she seemed entirely oblivious to his underlying meaning.
"Ahem, what about me, do I get one?" Chu Heng straightforwardly asked, realizing that sometimes Ah Yu was smart, but sometimes if things weren’t spelled out, she wouldn’t get it.
He wondered whether to call her silly or purposeful.
Ye Muyu suddenly understood, raised her head and began to smile slowly, her lips curving upward: "Ah Heng, so you’re jealous."
Her words made Chu Heng’s ears grow a bit warm, but he pretended to cough lightly, maintaining his aloof appearance, and gave her a glance: "Stop it."
"Hahaha." Seeing him force this act, Ye Muyu laughed even more happily, collapsing into his embrace with laughter.
