PWDLAW Chapter 638: Inappropriate
Chapter 638: Inappropriate
The maid happily accepted it. Although it wasn't valuable, the handkerchief was soaked in white orchid fragrance as mentioned by Madam Chu. Madam liked this scent, so if the maid kept it on her for a while, it might please Madam.
"Mother, I'm back." Ye Muyu didn't know the maid could think so much about a casually given gift. She walked straight into the courtyard and called out.
The siblings, Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo, who were playing in the room, ran out happily.
They both hugged Ye Muyu's legs and acted coquettishly, "Mother, you're finally back. Sister and I have been waiting for you for so long."
"You stayed up late just to wait for me?" Ye Muyu reached out and stroked his hair.
"Mother, we usually don't sleep this early, so we couldn't fall asleep." Chu Ziluo held onto her sleeve, following beside her, and asked, "Mother, the Xie family's house is so big. I'm afraid to wander around."
"The maidservants are so beautiful, but they are very strict. I noticed during dinner tonight, they couldn't say a word, everything they did was proper and disciplined. Our home is much more relaxed."
Ye Muyu smiled and lightly patted her head, "Growing up in the countryside is indeed relaxed, but life is not as comfortable as in these big households."
"Think about it. If this were your own home in the future, would you need to worry about these things?"
Chu Ziluo pondered for a moment, then hugged Ye Muyu's arm, "Mother, you're right. It seems I still know too little."
"You already know a lot. In the family, your older cousin... let's not talk about her." Chu Liushi felt a headache whenever she thought of the trouble caused by her eldest granddaughter. Of course, she also had some responsibility. Initially, she was too carefree, which led to letting the two of them solve the problem on their own.
"Grandmother, can you tell me more examples? I want to learn..." The more Chu Ziluo read, the more knowledge she gained, and the more eager she became to learn.
Chu Liushi was also happy to teach her, and the relationship between the two generations became closer.
Chu Jin held Ye Muyu's hand and walked into the house.
Qian came up with a smile on her face "Ah Yu, you're back? We were just talking about when you would come back."
"What did Madam Xie say to you?"
"She talked about opening a restaurant. She said she wants to open it in the prefectural city and the capital, hoping that Yu'er can also taste hometown flavors during his exams and not be affected by his appetite."
"Madam Xie is too good to her own children." Qian was amazed and exclaimed.
Chu Liushi also heard this in the inner room and spoke up, "Being good to your children at least indicates good parenting. Since Madam Xie has treated us today, we should think about what kind of gift to give in return."
"Otherwise, just some mountain produce from the mountain?"
"No, find a good-quality mountain pepper tree from Chai Mountain and cut off a branch to give to Madam Xie. She can keep it for giving gifts to others."
Chu Liushi shook her head, "No, although the crutches made from this mountain pepper tree are good, they are not particularly rare to wealthy families and the symbolism is not good."
Qian was at a loss when she heard this, "Then what should we give?"
"Mother, Fifth Aunt, you don't need to feel too pressured. Just give the usual gifts we give, but double the quantity. To be sincere, both families can get along without being too formal, which is more appropriate, don't you think?" Ye Muyu brought Chu Jin into the inner room, sat on the couch, and took out pen and ink to practice calligraphy. She guided him beside her.
