Other than that, there were also many students.
Everyone smiled and congratulated Chu Heng when they saw him. It was very lively outside the door.
When Xie Yu arrived, he even gave Chu Heng two small gifts.
Du Heng was not bad either.
Every student had more or less given gifts.
Zhang Yan was at the side registering the guests’ names.
“The auspicious time has arrived-” Ye Zhao, who was the ceremonial officer, knocked on the gong and announced loudly.
Zhang Shu went to light the firecrackers, and instantly, crackling sounds could be heard.
When it was time to pull the silk cloth, Chu Heng wanted to call Ye Muyu over, but Ye Muyu shook her head at him in private. Seeing that the man had agreed to go alone, she was relieved.
Du Heng, who was standing beside Ye Muyu, heard their whispers.
“Sister-in-law, I didn’t expect Brother Heng to be so clingy to you at home,” he teased as soon as Chu Heng left.
“Cough, cough…” Ye Muyu’s face turned red from his bold words.
Those who did not know better would think that the two of them were very close.
“It’s just that this shop is under my name,” Ye Muyu explained patiently.
Du Heng, however, pretended to not listen to her.” He smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, you don’t know. Usually in school, Brother Heng never takes the initiative to talk to anyone. Moreover, he’s so gentle now.”
“That’s not right. If Chu Heng was really a loner, why would the dean admire him?” Ye Muyu retorted without batting an eyelid, catching the loophole in his words.
The loophole in Du Heng’s words was very obvious. Chu Heng would not take the initiative to talk to others, but he would not refuse others to talk to him. Therefore, no matter from which aspect, Chu Heng was not a loner.
“Sister-in-law is indeed smart.” Seeing that he could not tease Ye Muyu, Du Heng could only give up.
“Oh right, thank you for bringing me food recently, sister-in-law. It’s delicious. Two days ago, my mother was asking me who cooked my food.”
Ye Muyu smiled. “Young Master Du, you’re too polite. They’re all home-cooked dishes. It’s just that your mother is worried about you. She’s afraid that you won’t be able to eat well outside.”
“Mothers will always be worried.”
The smile in Du Heng’s eyes deepened. He had not misjudged the person. It turned out that the person Brother Heng liked was so intelligent.
“Sister-in-law, my mother even asked me to invite you to our house as a guest.
She wants to specially entertain you. I wonder if Sister-in-law has time?”
Ye Muyu was a little surprised. “Is Young Master Du serious?”
She had never considered entering the circle of madams in the county. Firstly, Chu Heng had nothing to do with them. Naturally, she did not need to do anything unnecessary. Moreover, the provincial examination was coming soon, and everything was focused on the provincial examination.
“Of course. Sister-in-law, don’t worry. My mother won’t make things difficult for you. I’m just thanking you for bringing me lunch many times. If you don’t mind, I’ll go back and inform my mother. She’ll find a time to send you an invitation.” This time, Du Heng’s expression became very serious.
Ye Muyu did not agree immediately.
Instead, she said that she needed to discuss with Chu Heng first before giving him an answer.
Du Heng was not surprised and nodded with a smile.
He began to whisper about how Chu Heng was like in the school to Ye Muyu.
Soon, after the excitement, the opening ceremony ended.
Ye Muyu and Chu Heng were busy arranging for the guests to go to the Fragrance Restaurant for a feast, and Madam Liu helped out.
Zhang Yan and his apprentice Zheng Chun were helping out at the bookstore, so they were not in a hurry to serve the customers. Everything was on track.
After entering the Fragrance Restaurant…
The second floor was reserved for drinking, and the third floor was the private room where the rich and noble sons of the county usually ate.
The first floor was for the common people.
Xie Yu, Du Heng, the elders in the clan, the teachers in the school, Dean Zhang, and others were all invited to a private room to eat..
