Chapter 1198 Annual ceremony

  He reminded that as for Fu Ming's incessant listening, it's not his business to change.

  Chu Heng was congratulated by many officials throughout the day, and even many officials sent gifts to the Chu Mansion.

  Ye Muyu was ordered by Chu Heng to only accept insignificant gifts.

  As the New Year approaches, there will also be a dinner party in the palace. Naturally, it is inconvenient for the Chu family to hold a banquet at this juncture, so Ye Muyu is going to send it back to each family at the annual ceremony.

  Although the current Chu Heng has been promoted, he is even less suitable for extravagance and lust. Even large banquets are not suitable for his own family. Both of them are low-key and well-proportioned people.

  First, each family sent a message to explain the reason, and then picked some fresh fruits from the greenhouse on the Zhuangzi and sent them to each family. The Chu family finally gained a firm foothold in the capital.

  Although the current situation in the court is somewhat complicated, it is precisely because of this that each family does not want to offend people at will. The people Ye Muyu sent out all received replies from the wives and mistresses of each family, with good or bad attitudes and business affairs.

  In any case, this level has passed.

  Ye Muyu breathed a sigh of relief. With Chu Heng's status, it is very inappropriate in the capital to hold a banquet just after being promoted. It gives people the illusion of being favored and arrogant. If it falls into the ears of the emperor, he might not like it.

  Thus, she found an excuse to cancel the banquet, and confiscated the valuable gifts, so the situation of the Chu family was much better.

   I have to say that Ye Muyu is very grateful for the coming New Year.

   Waiting for Ye Muyu to deal with the contacts with various families in the capital, he was busy for four or five days.

   Wait until the solution is over before relaxing and resting.

   "Ah Yu, your father and I bought these. I want to send them back to my hometown and give them to my relatives. Do you see if they are suitable?" In the morning, Mrs. Chu and Liu came over with a piece of rice paper filled with densely written words.

  Chu Zhiwen is in the front yard, and doesn't just go into the upper inner courtyard of the mansion.

   Now that it has been a long time, he has learned to find things to do for himself. The main thing is to find someone to teach him how to read, but he is busy enough.

   "Mother, come in and have a seat." There is plenty of charcoal fire in the room, which makes it very warm. Although Ye Muyu is no longer cold, she is still afraid of the cold, so the temperature in the room is higher.

  Ms. Chu Liu walked in, saw her sitting on the soft couch writing something, and walked straight over.

   "Ayu, what are you writing?"

  She sat down next to it and looked at it twice, but because she didn't know many words, she didn't read it.

  Ye Muyu stopped writing, and explained: "I'm writing a list of New Year's gifts."

   "Mother, I prepared these for my hometown, take a look."

   As she spoke, she looked at the list brought by Chu Liushi. There were a lot of things in it, and they were all bought when Chu Liushi and Chu Zhiwen went out to get familiar with the capital these days.

   As big as a potted plant, as small as a button, as long as it is a new thing, they have never seen it before, and the price is right.

"Your father and I thought about these things, and sent them back home for the children to learn more about." Chu Liushi explained with some embarrassment. In addition to knowing the way, she also got to know some big families in the capital these days day.

  Most of them are dignitaries who have been rooted for hundreds of years, completely different from upstarts like the Chu family, not only in terms of rules, but also some knowledge.

   "I have inquired a lot. I heard that those officials and eunuchs in the capital will hold classes in the mansion. Not only that, but also special ethnology. Those families with rich heritage have many outstanding clansmen."
