Chapter 1567: Chapter 1564 Rewards
This is how a woman with protective relationships can live well in this era.
She scoffed sarcastically and turned to leave.
In the morning, Chun Xing went out to gather information.
Su i continued to oversee the servants at the residence in their thorough cleaning.
The cleaning progressed quickly, and by today, it should be almost done, with the New Year fast approaching.
Chun Xing returned an hour later, carrying Dequan Building’s beggar’s chicken in her hand.
“Lady, good news, those few shops have closed down. I went to other ready-made clothing shops, and most of them no longer dare to talk about our shop.”
Seeing her feet covered in snow, Su i quickly raised her hand, took the beggar’s chicken, and asked her to clean her shoes at the door before entering the house.
Chun Xing busily stood outside, stamping her feet, while a nearby maid swept the courtyard until it was spotless.
Ye Muyu sat on the window-side soft couch, with the window half-open, revealing a gap, making the air fresh and less stuffy.
On the small desk lay red paper, as Ye Muyu prepared to do paper cutting. The residence needed many new spring couplets and “Fu” characters. In past years, Chu Heng was responsible, but this year he’s too busy, and Lil’ Jin isn’t ho, so Ye Muyu decided to write them together with Chu Ziluo.
The two weren’t in a hurry, writing slowly but not too slowly.
“Don’t worry about the shop for now; by the twenty-fifth of the twelfth lunar month, you can take turns to rest.” Ye Muyu knew the closing of the other shops was due to Chu Heng’s efforts, but didn’t know if there might be any negative consequences.
Just waiting for Chu Heng to return and ask.
The New Year’s atmosphere grew stronger, with shops all around the capital starting to hang red lanterns outside.
Soon it was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar new year.
Ye Muyu had been busy with various tasks lately, dusting, offering incense, and ancestral worship. These chores didn’t seem many, but all needed to be done. Ye Muyu together with Chu Ziluo prepared early on, so they were busy yet orderly.
“Mother, the lunch preparation includes stead pork, braised pork, and boiled pig’s feet; will Father co back? If not, I’ll have Aunty Hu prepare a food box to send to the yan.” Chu Ziluo ca from the kitchen, saw Nuanbao, and couldn’t help but pinch his cheeks.
“Nuanbao, call Sister.”
Nuanbao, who now had a few baby teeth, was teased and raised his face, babbling incoherently: “Sis… Sis…”
“It’s Sister.” Chu Ziluo helplessly pinched his chubby little face.
Ye Muyu was beside her combing her hair, hearing this, felt sowhat envious: “That’s fine, Nuanbao still doesn’t call Mother.”
“Haha, indeed.” Chu Ziluo secretly covered her mouth to laugh.
Nuanbao took one look at his mother and sister before obediently went back to playing with his toys, not causing any trouble at all.
Ye Muyu said, “I asked Steward Luo to send soone to the yan to inquire about your father; he should be back soon.”
“Then I’ll go divide the New Year’s gifts for the servants.” Chu Ziluo didn’t mind doing anything, actively taking charge, while Ye Muyu only needed to give a few pointers, which surprisingly made her feel relaxed, almost as if she were ready for retirent.
“Okay, you and Su i go ahead, if you’re tired, take a break.” Ye Muyu tirelessly reminded her, feeling that no matter how good Chu Ziluo was, she was still a young girl, and she always had the feeling of ordering around a minor.
Chu Ziluo happily waved her hand and quickly turned away.
Here, in the outer courtyard.
The servants of the house had already started forming lines.
The servant boys lined up, the guards ford a row, and the maidservants ford another.
The rules at the residence were different from other residences.
