Chapter 516: Riding Boots
"Please wait a moment, young man. I'll go inform Madam." Nenya said softly.
Wang Chuan smiled gently and nodded, "Thank you, miss."
Nenya turned and ran into the courtyard.
In no time, Ye Muyu and Hu Shi walked to the courtyard gate together.
Seeing Wang Chuan, Ye Muyu smiled and asked with some anticipation, "Chuan, have you come to deliver the shoes to me? You're so punctual, even earlier than I expected."
"Sister-in-law, you're too kind. My father and I thought that the local exam is approaching, so we didn't dare to delay."
"As long as Heng is not delayed."
"Sister-in-law, let me get the shoes for you." Wang Chuan turned and retrieved a bundle from the donkey cart.
Hu Shi stepped forward to help.
In no time, the group of them had entered the main hall with the shoes.
Hu Shi put down the shoes and quickly took Nenya to the kitchen. She called her daughter to wash the teacups and brought them over while she brewed the tea herself.
In the main hall.
Ye Muyu asked Wang Chuan to sit down.
She then leaned over and started to unwrap the five packages one by one.
The first one was a pair of deer leather boots.
Ye Muyu's eyes lit up with admiration when she saw them. They were handmade and looked very beautiful, in the style of riding boots that were popular nowadays.
There were nomadic tribes in the northern part of Da Chu, which had now been incorporated into Da Chu. Naturally, their customs and habits had gradually spread to the central plains.
Da Chu was prosperous in commerce, and there were no strict requirements for clothing. People's attire was influenced by different regions resulting in diversity.
For example, most commoners wore cloth shoes, while leather shoes were considered expensive as they were made from real animal hides, which most people couldn't afford.
"Thank you, these are made very well. I wonder how waterproof they are?" Ye Muyu was not very familiar with the characteristics of leather boots at this time, so she modestly asked.
Wang Chuan patiently replied, "Deer leather boots are very lightweight, not only durable but also very comfortable to wear. Although they look soft, they are actually very sturdy and waterproof."
Ye Muyu felt relieved upon hearing this.
These were the boots she had prepared for Chu Heng to wear on rainy days. Catching a cold in this era could lead to serious illness, so he had to be in the best condition for the exam and couldn't afford to catch a cold.
After setting aside the deer leather boots, Ye Muyu looked at the other packages. The next two pairs were plain cloth shoes, while the last pair was made of fine mesh for ventilation.
Seeing that Wang Chuan had indeed made them, Ye Muyu couldn't help but smile, "Very good, I'm very satisfied."
Wang Chuan's expression softened and he heaved a sigh of relief. After hesitating for a moment, he advised, "Sister-in-law, if you wear these shoes outside, they might attract attention."
Not only would they attract attention but they would also invite ridicule.
Seeing Wang Chuan hesitatingly remind her as if afraid of saying the wrong thing and upsetting her, Ye Muyu couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't worry, these are only for wearing at home not for going out. You can rest assured, Chuan."
Seeing the smile in Ye Muyu's eyes, Wang Chuan knew he had been overly concerned and felt a little embarrassed. He cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "I was being overly cautious, Sister-in-law, please don't mind."
"You mean well, I won't blame you."
The atmosphere was very pleasant for a while.
Ye Muyu then opened the other two packages.
Inside, there was a pair of women's riding boots and two smaller-sized boots.
It was clear at a glance that they were for the two children.
She was somewhat surprised, "Chuan, these three pairs of shoes are..."
She had only asked Wang Chuan to make three pairs for Chu Heng, herself and the children. She could simply buy ordinary shoes for herself and the children from the ready-made clothing store.
