Chapter 245 are all smart people

   "You're a clothes hanger, you look good in everything you wear, and you're also very eye-catching." Ye Muyu said this deliberately, but she looked serious on the surface, but she actually looked at Chu Heng's emotional changes.

   Sure enough, someone's ears turned redder.

   Coupled with his serious expression, those who didn’t know thought he had encountered some kind of problem, but he was just shy.

   "Go and carve lucky cakes." Ye Muyu took advantage of the opportunity and arranged for him to do the work.

   "Yes." Chu Heng walked over and pressed the finished blessing cake into the mold.

  Wait until after lunch.

  Chu Heng took his family and set off to the county to participate in the female art competition.

  Lu Chuan came back a long time ago, and he is in charge of driving the carriage.

   Zhang Shu drove his family's mule cart to Chu Cai's house to pick up his family first.

  Chu Cai’s family doesn’t have a mule cart or an ox cart, so they have already borrowed a mule cart from Chu Heng in advance.

   Soon arrived at the old house.

  When they arrived, Chu Liu and others were getting into the bullock cart. This time, Zhang's two sons, Chu Sheng and Chu Ming, were both in the bullock cart.

  Dafang’s ox cart is covered with a cart, not the one without a shed.

   This is also for the convenience of pulling goods.

  So you can see at a glance what Dafang brought.

  A gift wrapped in cloth, a stool for each person, and some dishes.

  The purpose of taking the stool is to sit down and watch the competition. This time, there are a total of 521 women who signed up in the county, and it takes five times to compete with one hundred people at a time.

   This comparison, the time is not short.

   Those who watch the excitement, just stand still, they will definitely not be able to stand up.

   Only the county magistrate arranged for them to allow their own stools.

  Chu Qingxiang, on the other hand, was wearing new clothes, and her face was covered with rouge and powder, which gave her a little more color. She was already in good health, her skin was not too dark, and she knew how to use rouge and gouache, so she looked pretty good.

   Not only that, but Mrs. Zhang even used makeup.

  Chu Jin was very playful, opened the car curtain, and called people one by one.

  Ye Muyu had already yelled when she saw the elder, and when Chu Jin finished yelling, she patted Chu Ziluo lightly, and Chu Ziluo quickly yelled obediently.

   "Okay, let's go, I can't find a good place to watch it when I get there late."

  After Mrs. Chu and Liu spoke, a group of people rushed to the county.

   Two quarters of an hour later.

  Ye Muyu and his party appeared in the county.

  Looking at the county town with people coming and going, I couldn't help taking a breath, there must be too many people.

  Every street in the county is full of people, and this is just the gate of the city, but it is only a quarter of noon, and there is already a long queue.

   This time, you need to pay the city fee to enter the city gate, one penny per person, and if the mule cart does not have a house in the county, it is not allowed to enter.

  Ye Muyu and his party lined up in the distance.

  Glanced outside, then put down the curtains, and asked Chu Heng: "Did the third young master of the Xie family discuss with the county magistrate about the soft cake?"

   "Well, the city fee is collected for the purpose of making soft cakes with the collected money."

  Ye Muyu was a little surprised when he heard this: "Could it be that the third young master of the Xie family gave it to the county magistrate in the name of the Xie family?"

  Although the county magistrate of Nanchang County has not been stigmatized for corruption, ignoring government affairs, drinking and enjoying pleasure, etc., he usually accepts courtesy from wealthy families.

  When one is a person, the ceremony of harvesting festivals is not uncommon in the Great Chu Dynasty, but it is another matter whether there is a life to receive or not to enjoy it.

  In short, Ye Muyu subconsciously felt that she wanted to use the county magistrate to promote the Ruanxiang Cake, but she never thought of asking the county magistrate to give money, after all, they were the ones who benefited in the end.

   Allowing the county to distribute soft cakes before the start of the competition is already equivalent to owing a favor to the county magistrate...
