PWDLAW Chapter 434: Invitation

 Chapter 434: Invitation

Apart from them, there were also many scholars.


Everyone congratulated Chu Heng with smiles, making the front of the house lively.


When Xie Yu arrived, he also brought two small gifts.


Du Heng was no exception.


Every scholar more or less brought a gift.


Zhang Yan registered them on the side.


"The auspicious moment has arrived~" Ye Zhaoming acted as the master of ceremonies, struck the gong, and loudly announced.


Immediately, Zhang Shu went to ignite the firecrackers, causing them to crackle and pop.


When it was time to pull the cloth, Chu Heng wanted to call Ye Muyu over,
but Ye Muyu shook her head at him in private. Seeing him agree, she went alone, feeling reassured.


Du Heng stood beside Ye Muyu and overheard their whispered conversation.


As soon as Chu Heng left, he immediately teased, "Sister-in-law, I didn't expect Brother Heng to be so attached to you at home?"


"Cough cough..." Ye Muyu was embarrassed by his bold words.


Those who didn't know might think they were too intimate.


"It's just that this shop is under my name." Ye Muyu patiently explained.


Du Heng, with an expression that said, "I won't listen, I won't listen." smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, Brother Heng never takes the initiative to talk to anyone at school, let alone be so gentle."


"Wait, if Chu Heng were really reclusive, how could the dean appreciate him?" Ye Muyu calmly countered, seizing on the flaw in his words.


The flaw in Du Heng's words was obvious. Chu Heng wouldn't actively engage in conversation but he wouldn't refuse anyone who approached him either. So, no matter how you looked at it, Chu Heng was not a recluse.


"Sister-in-law is indeed wise." Du Heng admitted defeat when his teasing didn't work on Ye Muyu.


"Oh, thank you, sister-in-law, for the meals you've been bringing me lately. They're delicious. My mother even asked me the other day whose cooking it was that made my mouth water." Ye Muyu smiled lightly. "Du Young Master is too polite. They are all home-cooked dishes. It's just that Madam is worried about you and afraid you won't eat well outside."


"As a mother, she always worries." Du Heng's eyes were even more amused. It turned out that Brother Heng's favorite person was so clever.


"Sister-in-law, my mother asked me to invite you to our house for a visit. She wants to entertain you specially. Do you have time?" Ye Muyu was somewhat surprised.


She hadn't considered entering the circle of the county's ladies before. First, because Chu Heng had no relationship with those gentlemen, there was no need for her to go out of her way. Moreover, with the township exam approaching, everything should focus on the exam.


"Of course, sister-in-law, don't worry. My mother won't trouble you. She just wants to thank you for bringing me lunch several times. If you don't mind I'll inform my mother when I go back and she'll find a time to send you an invitation." This time, Du Heng's expression became very serious.


Ye Muyu didn't immediately agree.


Instead, she said she needed to discuss it with Chu Heng first before giving him an answer.


Du Heng was not surprised and nodded with a smile.


He began to whisper in Ye Muyu's ear about Chu Heng's affairs at school.


Soon, after the lively celebration, the opening ceremony ended.


Ye Muyu and Chu Heng were busy arranging for the guests to go to the Piaoxiang Tower for a banquet, with help from Chu Liushi.


With Zhang Yan and the apprentices helping out in the bookstore, everything proceeded smoothly.


Once they entered the Piaoxiang Tower, the second floor was reserved for drinking, while the third floor was the private dining area for the wealthy young gentlemen from the county.


The first floor was for ordinary commoners.


Xie Yu, Du Heng, as well as elders from the clan, scholars from the academy, Dean Zhang Yue, and others, were all invited into the private dining area for dinner.
