Capítulo 1994: Chapter 1991: Attention to Detail
Now, Ye Hao is doing quite well in the Northern military camp because of his abilities, and he has already been promoted to a fifth-grade general.
The two elders, Old Woman Ye, didn’t suffer any grievances, though they rarely saw each other once a year, Ye Muyu often corresponded with them.
After dealing with household chores.
Ye Muyu also asked Madam Wang if she wanted to bring the kids along, but Madam Wang refused, saying she wanted to take advantage of the current ti to tidy up a shop in the capital and prepare to open another one.
Ye Muyu did not insist and instead had Chu Ziluo invite a few close friends.
Huo Hongyan and Zhou Jiaojiao both went.
Also, the second Young Mada from the Xie family, Wang Yuanyuan, accompanied by her young son.
Ye Muyu didn’t have much contact with the wives and young misses of officials in the capital, and among her close friends, only the Xie family was more casual.
First, the personalities of the Xie family mbers were sowhat compatible with hers.
Second, the Xie family was currently not as influential as the Chu family, and as they hadn’t ventured deeply into the official circle, they didn’t have so many concerns.
After preparing for a day.
Early this morning.
Ye Muyu, along with Nuanbao, boarded the carriage first.
Chu Heng did not enter the carriage, but sat on a horse.
The Chu family’s carriage convoy was followed by Huo Hongyan’s carriage.
The whole family left the capital.
At the city gate, they saw the Xie family and Zhou Jiaojiao, who had been waiting for a long ti.
Going by carriage to the Manor wasn’t far but took over an hour.
The Manor is not large, with only a bit over a hundred acres of land.
At this ti, it was harvest season, with various crops being planted and grown in succession.
Upon reaching outside the Manor, Ye Muyu only felt sore and impatient from sitting in the carriage, eager to get out.
Ye Muyu was dressed in simple attire, which wasn’t complicated, making it easy to walk. Her shoes were soft leather boots with relatively thick soles, making them comfortable to wear without hurting her feet.
But it was quite hot.
“Mother, mother.” Nuanbao hadn’t slept inside the carriage.
Seeing Ye Muyu get out, he called to her in a milk-toned voice, wanting to follow her down.
Ye Muyu quickly reached out to hold him.
The carriage behind also stopped.
Wang Yuanyuan, along with Zhou Jiaojiao’s mother, Lady Zhou, got out of the carriage as well.
Lady Zhou and Zhou Jiaojiao looked sowhat similar, both with round faces, making them appear younger.
Zhou Jiaojiao had a lively and cheerful personality, while Lady Zhou was gentler, allowing Ye Muyu to see the virtuous and filial nature of won of this era in her, acting as a good wife and mother.
If not discussing so matters of etiquette and the like, Ye Muyu thought Lady Zhou was truly suitable for being a wife.
As for perspectives and views, they are products of this era.
Perhaps, if they reached modern tis, it would be unlikely to have a wife like Lady Zhou, considering the different education received.
“Ah Yu, your Manor seems quite productive,” Wang Yuanyuan greeted Lady Zhou, walking over alongside her.
In fact, Wang Yuanyuan also brought her daughter, but as she was younger, she was left with Chu Ziluo, Zhou Jiaojiao, and Huo Hongyan.
However, her young son wasn’t very old, even younger than Nuanbao, accompanied by the Wet Nurse, so there was no need to hold back.
“Don’t you grow these on your Manor?” Ye Muyu didn’t find it odd. In her view, the produce from her Manor was quite ordinary, not even as modern and high-yielding as corn.
She simply planted according to so agricultural books she had read and what she had seen as a child in her late grandparents’ rural ho.
In modern tis, farming was actually quite scientific and ticulous.
