“Wait for me to come back,” Chu Heng said in a hoarse voice. He tightened his grip on her arm as if he was trying to squeeze her into his body.

His slightly cold lips landed a kiss on her smooth forehead.

Even though Ye Muyu was reluctant to part with him, she forced herself to control her emotions. She stood at the side and let the two children say goodbye to him.

“Ah Heng, quickly get on the carriage. Be careful on the road.”

“Father, I will wait for you to come back on your horse.” Chu Jin waved his hand happily.

Chu Ziluo ran to his side and placed a safety talisman on his hand. “Father, you have to come back early. When spring comes, we can go out and fly kites together.”

“Alright.” Chu Heng nodded at the children, his eyes glued to Ye Muyu for a long time before he turned around and got into the carriage.

Ye Muyu stood where he was and looked at the carriage that was leaving. She felt a little melancholic.

Chu Heng would probably be gone for half a year.

It was even longer than the last time he went to the prefecture city for the exam.

“Ziluo, Lil’ Jin, let’s go back.” Ye Muyu patted the shoulders of the two children.

After Chu Heng left, the entire residence became quiet for a long time.

Ye Muyu basically accompanied the children for breakfast in the morning. After that, she went to the backyard to arrange some chores in the residence and check on the recent developments in the estate.

However, after the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, she started to get busy.

Chu Cai had been making the wooden boxes for ten days and finally met the requirements of the cosmetics shop. freewebnσvel.cøm

Ye Muyu went out and turned a corner from the back door. She saw a small courtyard by the river.

Opposite was the bookstore.

Speaking of the bookstore, Lord Xu of the bookstore had returned to Jing City for the New Year before the New Year. He had not returned yet. He had gone back with him, as well as the new type of oily black ink that he and Chu Heng had developed together.

“Second Sister-in-law.” Ye Muyu went straight into the courtyard and saw that there were wooden planks everywhere.

Because the courtyard was not big, Chu Cai and his wife used the house to store wood, leaving only a sleeping wing, a central room, and a kitchen.

“Ah Yu, you’re here? Sit down.” Madam Wang was washing her clothes. She wiped her hands and stood up to bring her a stool.

“Second Sister-in-law, you don’t have to entertain me. I’m here to see Second Brother’s progress,” Ye Muyu said as she walked over to see the finished products that Chu Cai had just finished.

It was still new wood, so it needed to be painted with paint and painted with a portrait of a beautiful woman. After drying it, it could be used.

All kinds of boxes, big and small, were exquisitely made. Chu Cai had gone to the shop to look at the original batch of materials, so he tried his best to make them the best. There was basically no difference in the finished products.

As for those who came to paint, no one in the clan knew how to do it, so they could only find painters outside. Usually, when the Wang family was free, they would learn from them.

“Third Sister-in-law, how is it? There’s no mistake, right?” Madam Wang asked nervously.

Ye Muyu smiled.” Second Brother is indeed a carpenter. He did everything I said well.”

“In the past, I thought that your second brother’s ability was useless. It seems that we are too stupid and don’t know how to be flexible. If we put in more effort, we might be able to supply those shops in the past.”

This was not wrong. Jiangnan’s economy was good, and there were also big families, but they would not cover the sky with one hand. There were also countless small families below. A good economy meant that there were many ways to make money.

Ye Muyu did not dampen her enthusiasm. “It’s not too late for Second Sister-in-law to realize that now. As long as you have a good craft, you won’t starve to death.”

“You’re right.” Madam Wang nodded and said, “Speaking of which, I want to send Qingyu to learn embroidery at the Junyue Building. She has a lively personality and grew up in the village, so she’s always attracted to beautiful pieces of jewelry when she sees them. I want her to gain some experience and become more mature in the future.”
