Chapter 670 Sending the Maid
She didn't look up to anyone else, but she wanted to get along with Chu Heng.
However, just now, Chu Heng actually ridiculed Qingxue like that. Chu Hongmei was a little angry, so she deliberately acted up. Since the matter started because of Ye Muyu, she naturally wanted to find an opportunity to step on her.
Originally, she still wanted to get along with Chu Liushi, the third younger brother's wife of Chu. After all, the two families might be related in the future. Who knew that the other party would be as ungrateful as before, wasting so many of her expressions.
Naturally, she couldn't tolerate it anymore and sarcastically retorted.
But after hearing Chu Xingjun's reminder, she thought about it. There was no need to waste words with these people. It was better to please Chu Heng. It was stronger than anything else. So she quieted down and stopped talking.
However, she couldn't really calm down. After sitting down, she pointed to some eligible girls who came over and asked Chu Xingjun who they were.
Chu Xingjun didn't want her to make a scene, so she cooperated. Anyway, she didn't think Ah Heng was the type to indulge this second sister's temper. Since that was the case, what was there to worry about?
Helping to stabilize her was enough.
Chu Qingxue found an excuse and took her personal maid to the door to see what was going on.
And at this moment.
The courtyard gate was wide open.
Mr. He, the landlord, was talking to Chu Heng, praising him for being young and promising.
He also inquired about his relationship with the Xie family.
There were many gifts sent, various new styles of furniture, and even fields, not to mention plenty of food.
Chu Heng didn't refuse and accepted them all. In the future, it was necessary for the family to develop relations with these local gentry. These gifts would be returned when the other party had a happy event.
Although Mr. He's family property was average, they had been developing in Nanchang County for more than ten years and had some foundation. However, many of the fields were distributed in the jurisdictions of several adjacent counties, totaling thousands of mu.
Currently, combined under Chu Heng's and Ye Muyu's names, they only had five to six hundred mu, which wasn't considered much. However, there were many shops, after all, the Wang family mainly focused on shops.
Mr. He was very happy, and Chu Heng invited him in for tea, setting up a separate table.
Mr. He didn't stay long. When he left, Ye Muyu gave him an invitation.
As Chu Heng sent Mr. He away, he smiled benevolently.
Mr. He's arrival was like opening a floodgate.
Immediately following was Mr. He, who was similarly well-off, running a rice and grain shop in the county.
Afterward came the even wealthier families of Sun, Chen, and Hu.
Then it was the Xie and Du families.
Xie Yu didn't come in person. He had also passed the imperial examination and now had many visitors at the Xie Mansion. Madam Xie was busy, and Xie Yu also needed to entertain guests.
But he sent the steward of the Xie family, which was considered giving enough face to Chu Heng. The gifts were substantial, including a second-grade mansion in the county, and numerous other items.
Du Heng personally came. This time he went to the capital to broaden his horizons and seemed to have some intention of using it for reference in three years.
In addition to the gentry, Xu County Magistrate also sent gifts.
The scholars from the academy, as well as his classmates, all came to congratulate him and sent various gifts, which Chu Heng accepted without refusal.
In addition to these, there were also some pretty maids sent.
But Chu Heng refused to accept them directly.
For this matter, the women in the village joked that Chu Heng was pampering his wife, so he didn't want to accept those pretty maids sent by others.
Apart from arranging to entertain guests, Ye Muyu also gave an invitation to each guest, confirming the date for them to come over for the banquet.
Along the way, she heard many people discussing Chu Heng's rejection of the pretty maids.
