Wait, a favor.
Ye Muyu seemed to understand something.
As expected, Chu Heng said, “The county magistrate is not stupid. Rather than asking the Xie family to fork out some silver, he would rather make Xie Yu owe him a favor.”
“Xie Yu wouldn’t want the Xie family to owe the county magistrate a favor.”
“So, in order to reduce expenses, the county magistrate charged a single coin as an entrance fee. It wouldn’t be too expensive and cause criticism from the people, and he wouldn’t have to pay silver.”
“If Xie Yu had discussed with the county magistrate and said that the Xie family owed this favor, I’m afraid there wouldn’t have been a matter of collecting the city entrance fees.”
Ye Muyu understood. The county magistrate felt that Xie Yu’s personal favor was not enough for the county magistrate to pay for it himself.
“Is the Soft Fragrance Cake ready?”
There were at least twenty to thirty thousand people coming from the entire county, so the amount of Soft Fragrance Cake was probably not small. “Xie Yu has always been punctual. Don’t worry.”
Ye Muyu had always believed in Chu Heng’s ability. He was not a person who would shoot without thinking. He believed that the Soft Fragrance Cake would sell well in the future.
As they spoke, it was their turn to enter the city.
Chu Heng took out a copper coin from his waist and handed it to the guard at the city gate. He then reported the courtyard of the county before the carriage passed by.
Chu Lin and the others behind him did the same.
When they entered the city, the carriage moved with difficulty.
“Third Brother, let’s go to the courtyard first and put down the ox cart and vegetables.” Madam Liu called out to Chu Heng.
“What about you guys?” “Let’s go over too,” Chu Heng said.
“Alright, you guys follow the ox cart.”
“Is there a house in the county?” Ye Muyu asked out of habit.
As a manager in her previous life, she was used to knowing every detail. She asked this question out of habit.
However, not long after she said it, she frowned slightly and felt that she should not ask. This was no longer her previous life. Even if Chu Heng really had private property, if she asked, it would be somewhat unpleasant.
Chu Heng tilted his head and saw her frown. He thought that she was unhappy about him hiding the fact that he had a house in the county. He explained,” I bought this previously to run a business. It’s usually used by outsiders to rest. It’s very messy.”
“If you want to buy a courtyard in the county, we’ll go and take a look later.” His voice was clearly gentler.
“I don’t want to buy a house in the county,” Ye Muyu said. She knew that he had misunderstood.
“I’m just a little surprised. I shouldn’t have asked before. It’s just my habit. It’s good that you’re not angry.”
Looking at Ye Muyu’s serious expression, Chu Heng felt that guessing her sincerity would only disappoint her. Ye Muyu was a person with a bottom line.
“I don’t mind you asking. If you have anything you want to know in the future, just ask me.” Chu Heng did not want her to have any suspicions. He had been a scholar for many years and guessed the other party’s thoughts. He believed that he was not wrong.
However, in the end, he still cared about Ye Muyu’s true thoughts. He liked the way the two of them interacted with each other, so he tried his best to maintain it.
Ye Muyu was a little surprised by Chu Heng’s words. She had thought that Chu Heng was a scheming person and would not be willing to reveal everything, but she could not see any trace of him joking.
so…
Did he really want to tell her everything?
This kind of husband was very rare in her previous life.
“Alright.” Ye Muyu naturally would not refuse. It was her fortune that Chu Heng was willing to be honest with her.
“Mother, what are you talking about?” Chu Jin asked the two adults.
“The adults are talking. Children shouldn’t interrupt.” Chu Heng glanced at him indifferently.
Chu Jin was speechless. Father’s voice was so scary.. Did he say something wrong?
