Chapter 1288: Chapter 1285: Departure Chapter 1288: Chapter 1285: Departure Su i understood and nodded, “Lady, the servant girl shall handle this matter well.”
Ye Muyu no longer paid attention to this matter; she devoted all her energy to arranging for Brother Chu, Chu Lin, to be sent back.
The children’s luggage was relatively easy to prepare, mostly consisting of books and the clothes they had worn during their long stay in the capital, including no small number of winter clothes.
This was due to the uncertainty of the upcoming exam results.
Therefore, only two suitable winter garnts were chosen, while all the sumr ones were taken back.
Moreover, there were gifts prepared long ago to be sent back to the hotown.
From the clan leader to distant relatives, down to the closer junior family mbers, there was a gift for everyone.
Ye Muyu was feeling well, and she made sure by checking the list of gifts to ensure nothing was missed.
She, together with Madam Liu and Chu Zhiwen, then saw off the three people.
Chu Sheng and Chu Zhang followed behind Chu Lin.
They bowed and paid their respects to the three.
“Grandfather and grandmother, please take care of yourselves. After the exams, I will write to you,”
As the eldest grandson, Chu Sheng was a focus of care for both Chu Zhiwen and Madam Liu. Seeing how polite and well-mannered the two children were, the couple could not be more satisfied.
“Be cautious on the road and do not hurry back. You can go directly to the Prefectural City and return ho after the exams as well,” Chu Zhiwen reminded them tirelessly.
Fearful that her grandsons were nervous, Madam Liu said, “Now that we are in better circumstances at ho, it doesn’t matter if you don’t pass the exam. You can always find other things to do later, so don’t be too anxious. Just take the test as usual.”
“Grandmother, we will do our best,” they said.
The two brothers exchanged glances, not promising too much, aware that they were indeed very nervous.
After all, having studied in the capital and even having Imperial Scholars as tutors provided excellent conditions. It would be unacceptable if they could not even pass the scholar examinations.
But studying has many unpredictabilities, and it was their first ti in the examination hall, which really did not give them much confidence.
The brothers also thanked Ye Muyu, “Third Aunt, thank you for your troubles these days. When we return, we won’t neglect our studies.”
“Very good,” Ye Muyu responded, her eyes smiling, while not putting too much pressure on the boys, “On your journey, pay attention to safety. If you are not in a rush, take the imperial road, and try to rest at inns at night.”
“Big brother, rember to write to us when you get back, so we can be assured,”
Chu Lin promptly responded, “I will, Ah Heng is busy, so we won’t delay. Dad and mom, please tell Ah Heng for ; we are leaving now.”
Chu Lin looked at the sky and was the first to board the carriage.
Chu Zhiwen and his wife watched the family depart until the carriage was out of sight, then they turned and walked back to the mansion.
Seeing Ye Muyu, who was also waiting nearby, Madam Liu felt the heat, and rembering that she was pregnant, hurriedly said, “Ah Yu, you must have been in the sun for a while now. Co inside with mother and rest.”
“Are you thirsty? What would you like to drink? I’ll have the kitchen send sothing over,”
Ye Muyu initially did not want anything, but when asked, she felt a bit empty, “Mother, I’d like so waterlon. Would you like so?”
“Isn’t waterlon too cold for you to eat comfortably right now?” Madam Liu herself didn’t have many pregnancy restrictions, but ever since Ye Muyu’s morning sickness incident, she always felt her daughter-in-law was sowhat frail.
Especially since a month of replenishnt hadn’t fully plumped Ye Muyu back up.
“Mother, I’ll eat those that haven’t been chilled in the well,” Ye Muyu said, “It’s hot these days.”
