PWDLAW Chapter 430: Banquet Invitation

 Chapter 430: Banquet Invitation

The other relatives didn't want to linger any longer. Since Chu Heng had invited them to a banquet, they naturally didn't want to miss such a joyous occasion.


Everyone was already prepared.


As the other relatives went home to change their clothes and get ready to go to the county, Ye Muyu and Hu Shi tidied up the tea cups and the house before changing into their own clothes.


They quickly got ready and left in a carriage for the county.


Chu Liushi stopped Ye Muyu from walking away "You two go to the county first and tidy up the bookstore. Your father and I will come after."


"Mother, do you need to use the family's mule cart?" Ye Muyu asked softly.


Chu Liushi waved her hand "No need, there won't be many people coming. Your older brother and sister-in-law need to prepare for Qingxiang's wedding at home, so it's just your father, me, and your second brother's family with a child. The ox cart will be enough."


Ye Muyu understood from Chu Liushi's words how many people were expected to come from their family and it was probably the same for other families. Knowing the numbers would help with arranging the banquet.


Fortunately, Chu Heng had already booked the banquet at Fragrant Tower Restaurant yesterday. There would likely be a lot of people coming this time.


Just inviting Xie family's Third Young Master alone would probably attract many scholars.


However, thinking about the books and test papers that would be sold at the opening, Ye Muyu didn't feel sorry at all. The more people came, the more the reputation of the bookstore would spread. Selling the books would bring in a lot of money.


However, she also knew that in the future with Chu Heng entering the officialdom, there would be many more banquets like this.


It wouldn't hurt to get familiar with it first.


Chu Heng lifted the curtain of the carriage "Father, mother, we'll go to the county first and wait for you there."


"Okay, go ahead." Chu Zhiwen smiled and said. After Chu Heng explained the affairs of the bookstore to him, he felt proud and felt a sense of pride in basking in his son's glory.


With a good mood, everything would go smoothly, and there would be no fuss.


Chu Liushi nodded and watched Chu Heng's carriage leave. Then she turned to Chu Cai and said, "Second son, later you and Lin come to the old house, change into our new clothes and get ready to meet a lot of scholars today. Let Lin broaden his horizons."


"Hurry up, we'll go help earlier. Even if it's a banquet, there still needs to be someone to help arrange it."


"Okay, mother." Chu Cai quickly went back home upon hearing this.


Chu Zhiwen was a little surprised to hear his wife's words. "Didn't Third son just say that the banquet at the restaurant was already arranged? Why do we need to go greet the guests as parents?"


"When the guests arrive, don't we need to serve them drinks? You and Ah Heng can handle it together. The male and female guests are separated. Do you think it's the same as in the countryside?" Chu Liushi shook her head helplessly and grumbled, "I think you're just happy."


"Oh, I see." Chu Zhiwen didn't mind being criticized by his wife. He was just happy and went home with his hands behind his back.


He changed into a new outfit and even took out the leather shoes that he hadn't worn out yet and brushed them until they shone before stopping.


Meanwhile, Ye Muyu and Chu Heng's group had already reached halfway.


"Did you already inform my mother?" Ye Muyu was calculating, and Chu Ziluo was learning beside her.


She suddenly remembered and asked.


Chu Heng noticed that she was calculating without using an abacus, and he was a little surprised. He nodded when he heard her question, "Yes, I have already informed our relatives at home, including my mother-in-law. She said she would come to the county. I estimate she has already set off."
