Chapter 631: Xie Family Banquet
Ye Muyu was startled by her own thoughts. Bandits were already unlawful entities and colluding with them in Da Chu, similar to raising private soldiers was a serious crime of rebellion!
No more investigations, Ye Muyu decided decisively. With her current abilities, she couldn't compete with such behemoths.
"It seems that my husband is safe in the capital. The Wang family is all in prison, so the Zhao family naturally has no reason to target my husband." Ye Muyu was most concerned about this point. As for more complicated matters, she brushed them aside and stopped thinking about them.
Instead of worrying about other people's private affairs, she might as well focus on making more money.
"Manager Luo, please take good care of my husband." Ye Muyu reiterated.
Luo Qisheng naturally nodded repeatedly. "Madam, this is what I should do."
That evening.
The Xie family had prepared the banquet and invited General Shen and others.
Other wealthy merchants in the county also sent invitations, hoping to attend.
However, they were all rejected by Mrs. Xie, and the reason was straightforward: this was a family banquet, and they would be invited on another occasion.
The wealthy merchants in the county were desperate. After all, General Shen's eldest son, Shen Qin, was only twenty-five years old and already held the rank of fourth grade official. Although he was a military officer, he was not someone ordinary wealthy merchants could befriend.
Those with more flexible minds directly approached Ye Zhao, hoping to meet General Shen Qin.
Ye Zhao was approached too many times and was annoyed. He could only inform Shen Qin of this matter.
"Junior General, the wealthy merchants in the county want to pay their respects to you. What do you think?" Ye Zhao bowed and asked.
Shen Qin sat behind the desk in the county office, holding some files from interrogating those bandits.
"Not interested." Shen Qin said indifferently.
Ye Zhao didn't say much and was about to leave.
"Wait," Shen Qin stopped him.
Ye Zhao turned around and waited on the side.
Shen Qin pointed to the files. "Bring these families to the county office tomorrow to see me..."
Ye Zhao wanted to say that it might not be appropriate to bring them to the county office, but considering the Junior General's personality, he chose to remain silent.
"Yes, Junior General." Ye Zhao exited and delivered the messages to the respective families.
Some were happy, and some were worried.
That night, Mrs. Xie indeed hosted a family banquet, and it was not a false claim.
The male and female seats were separated by a folding screen.
There weren't many people on the female side. Mrs. Xie, Ye Muyu, Chu Liushi, Qian, along with the two children, Miss Xie, as well as the female relatives of the eldest and second young masters of the Xie family, totaling two tables of people.
On the male side, there weren't many Xie family members, just Ye Zhao, the county magistrate, General Shen, and a few others. Mrs. Xie had arranged it this way deliberately after learning about General Shen's temperament from Ye Zhao.
"Please enjoy." Mrs. Xie served the female side.
With her words, others started eating.
Ye Muyu was also interested in the food, as it was her first time experiencing the meals of a wealthy family.
After tasting each dish, Ye Muyu concluded that indeed, the people of Nanchang County preferred light and sweet food.
She had originally wanted to try making spicy hot pot and other spicy dishes, but it seemed inappropriate.
However, oden would be suitable for winter.
It was light in flavor and could warm the body.
"Mrs. Scholar's wife..."
"Madam, if you don't mind, you can call me Ah Yu." Ye Muyu said softly.
Mrs. Xie smiled. "Since you said so, I won't be polite. I'll call you Ah Yu from now on."
"Ah Yu, are you satisfied with the food tonight?"
