Chapter 1647: Chapter 1644: Idea
First, she kissed his lips, then followed with kisses on his eyes.
She kissed behind his ear, and Ye Muyu’s voice was gentle, carrying her unique tone, “Ah Heng, as long as it’s you, I won’t mind the age difference. I’m only afraid of a world without you.”

With the establishnt of the workshop, Tang Dongfeng was very efficient, bringing in a number of carpenters who constructed temporary accommodations directly within the workshop. The place was spacious enough to accommodate everyone.
Weaving machines were already being built, and everything was getting on track.
anwhile, Ye Muyu spent most of her ti carving longevity gifts.
Just as January was about to end, an incident involving Princess Weisaiya occurred.
Rumors started circulating in the city that Princess Weisaiya had invited Prince Rong to play soccer.
Soccer was very popular in Great Chu, with high officials and nobles often organizing gas for fun.
Especially as the weather ward up after the New Year, these large banquets beca even more sought after by various families.
That day, Ye Muyu also received an invitation. The soccer banquet was organized by the Qingguo Duke’s Mansion.
Many ladies, young misses, and young masters from the high officials and nobles’ families in Yanjing were invited.
No officials were required to attend, but as the Elder Princess was attending, the households that received invitations basically did not consider refusing, even if they had other engagents, they would send their younger mbers.
“Mother, I don’t need new clothes, last year’s soccer outfit still fits, and I have plenty of everyday clothes.” Chu Ziluo, upon hearing the news, reported to Ye Muyu that sa day.
Ye Muyu, seeing this, didn’t waste ti finding any embroiderers to make new garnts. After all, the embroiderers in the capital were likely very busy at this ti. Since Ye Muyu didn’t plan on doing anything special at the banquet, wearing sothing appropriate was enough, not needing to stand out too much.
However, families with marriageable daughters would seize this opportunity to dress them up well, in hopes of arranging a match and thus settling a significant family matter.
Thinking about matchmaking, Ye Muyu couldn’t help but think of Chu Ziluo.
With the passing of the year, Chu Ziluo would soon be twelve, which seed young to her, but in the capital it wasn’t. At fifteen, there’s the hairpin ceremony, and after that, a girl is expected to marry. Waiting until eighteen is considered an old maid.
The best example is Huo Hongyan, who, despite needing to observe mourning, had her marriage delayed, yet families with a bit of status in the capital were reluctant to arrange a match for her.
Of course, there were exceptions, but they were very few, where the families were suitable, but the individuals might not be.
Ye Muyu thought deeply, with an idea flashing in her mind. If it didn’t work out, she could insist that her daughter must wait until eighteen to marry. If there were families with good character willing to agree, she could then select an appropriate match from their sons.
Once the idea ca up, she couldn’t stop thinking about it.
She felt an urgent need to discuss it with soone, but Chu Heng had returned to the yan, leaving her with no one to talk to, so she had to hold back.
The soccer banquet was set for the next day.
It wasn’t hastily arranged, yet the invitations were only sent out that day.
Upon hearing the news, she learned that at the post station, the Beirong Prince and Princess Weisaiya had long had a plan, and they had negotiated with Prince Rong, even inviting King Qi and two other Princes.
Even the Great Prince, who clearly wouldn’t get involved, received an invitation, leaving others guessing his plans.
The entire day passed quickly.
In the evening, as soon as Chu Heng returned, Ye Muyu eagerly shared with him what had been on her mind all day.
Chu Heng listened and gently rubbed her delicate fingers.
