Chapter 709: Panicking

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Mrs. Xu, you flatter me. I’ll bring you in.” Ye Muyu did not understand why Mrs. Xu was so nice to her, but she did not think too much about it. After all, Ye Muyu knew the power behind her.

Xie Yu’s footsteps were light as he followed Old Master Xie, speaking to Chu Heng from time to time.

Seeing that the two of them had a good relationship, County Magistrate Xu sighed in his heart. He felt that his situation in the future was a little delicate. At least, from the looks of it, the Xie and Chu families were the only big families in the county.

If he was not the county magistrate, he would not have known about the title deed. However, it was precisely because he was the county magistrate that he found out how much property had secretly appeared under Chu Heng and his wife’s name after checking the yamen’s records.

If the relationship between the Xie and Chu families was not good, he could still sit by and watch the fight.

However, the relationship between the two families was clearly very good. His only choice was to be on good terms with both families. He might as well… The Xie family had a bottom line and did not make things too difficult for him. As for Chu Heng, if the information he had was correct, he should not be too difficult to get along with, right?

Chu Heng had long noticed County Magistrate Xu’s gaze from time to time.

However, he did not say anything and pretended not to see it.

“Eh, Ah Heng, your house looks really good this time. Although it’s not spacious enough, it’s not too small either. It’s been hard on you.” Xie Yu had been to the village before, so of course he knew what the small farmhouse looked like.

This time, it gave him a new experience.

“Sir, Old Master Xie, how about the two of you sit here?” Chu Heng brought the two of them to the main table.

The two of them could naturally tell that this was the best seat, so they nodded and sat down.

“I want to go to the students’ seats. I can’t join in much in the topic that my father and the others will talk about.”

Old Master Xie laughed and scolded, “You brat, you’ve already passed the high scholar examination, yet you’re still so willful. You should learn from Ah Heng.”

“Father, I understand. Can I go to the next table?” Xie Yu could see that his father was in a good mood and deliberately reprimanded him for showing off. He would just let him be. Anyway, he would not lose a piece of meat.

“Go, go.”

When Xie Yu heard this, a smile instantly appeared in his eyes. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Chu Heng called MadamHu to serve the sweet soup.

There were many types of sweet soups. As there were only eight tables at the banquet, and there were eight tables for men and women, there were not many people. The desserts were basically handled by Madam Hu with Old Madam Zhang’s help.

Some of the sweet soups were cooked in advance.

For example, there were grass jelly, milk cake, milk cheese, small taro balls, milk tea, and milk custard.

These names had all changed. They were given names that suited the atmosphere today, such as Wealth and Fortune, Red Bean Yearning, Magpie Singing, and so on.

Soon, County Magistrate Xu, who had no idea what to say to Old Master Xie, had something to divert his attention.

“What are these?” County Magistrate Xu asked curiously.

Lu Chuan told them their names one by one. He and Han Zhuang were here today to serve the dishes to the male table. Because they were skilled, they could guarantee that they would not cause any trouble even if they were busy.

“Lord Xu, give it a try.” Old Master Xie loved delicious food, especially desserts. Now that there was something delicious, he naturally did not stand on ceremony and quickly tasted them one by one.

“Yes… Each has its own taste. There’s even crushed ice inside.” Old Master Xie was eating the fruit taro. It was a pleasant surprise as if there was everything inside.

County Magistrate Xu smelled the fragrance of milk and thought of the cake shop opened by the Xie family. He could not help but ask, “Was the pastry shop opened by the Third Young Master previously a collaboration with High Scholar Chu?”
