Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1472: Revised: Chapter 1469 Concerns

“Mother’s culinary skills are excellent. It’s evident in the village. Even Father was won over by her. Mother not only cooks well but is also very good at doing business. I just want to learn two or three of her skills, and that would be enough.”

Huo Hongyan realized that her words were filled with sincere praise for Ye Muyu. Gradually, her feelings towards ‘Madam’ had changed. Although she didn’t know why Madam had changed, it did serve as a reminder that she couldn’t just rely on old impressions to jump to conclusions.

“Ziluo, can you cook too?” Huo Hongyan asked curiously.

Seeing her attitude towards Mother change, Chu Ziluo was satisfied, and her voice became more lively while speaking.

The two young children chatted over here, while Ye Muyu also took care of the guests over there, occasionally explaining the preparation and taste of each dish.

The banquet continued until the evening. Ye Muyu had Su Mei arrange for people to see the guests off. Filled with food and drinks, and having consumed a fair amount of fruit wine, she was a bit tipsy.

She quickly had hot water sent up from the kitchen. Comfortably soaking in the bath barrel, she didn’t forget to give Nuanbao, who could only smell the food but not eat it, a fragrant bath.

Nuanbao lay on his back in the smooth, polished wooden basin. Ye Muyu only needed to support his back to immerse his body without covering his eyes, mouth, or nose.

“Madam, this bath basin seems to be designed according to the human body shape?” Chun Xing, considering herself clumsy, did not handle things, instead held Nuanbao’s clothes and waited by the side.

Liuye maintained the charcoal fire on both sides, preventing the room from getting too cold and causing Nuanbao to catch a cold, basically acting as a human-made heater.

Ye Muyu smiled and nodded, “Yes, this bath basin is specially designed for children. It can be used from birth up to the age of five.”

Chun Xing’s eyes immediately brightened, “Can it be sold? I’m sure it would sell well.”

Su Mei calmly lifted her head, “Of course, anything Madam makes is guaranteed to sell well.”

Chun Xing couldn’t help but smile proudly at Ye Muyu, evidently proud of her. If she wasn’t instructed to be low-key, she would have liked to run around the capital shouting for everyone to admire.

Su Mei was even more of a fan of Madam, brimming with an inexplicable confidence in Ye Muyu.

Liuye saw it in her eyes, noticing how gentle Ye Muyu’s smile was. She didn’t enforce a strict master-servant relationship with the maids, an unheard-of sign of respect in a wealthy household.

After her initial shock, she felt relieved. As an orphan, following such a kind master was the happiest thing she could wish for.

“Let’s wait a bit longer before opening a shop. No need to rush,” Ye Muyu was still wary of Duke Zheng. Currently, the Xie family didn’t lack silver, and with the Emperor’s occasional rewards, they had more than enough. It would be foolish to give Duke Zheng an opportunity just for silver.

“Sure, I’ll note it down,” Chun Xing said seriously. “Previously, I thought items for the shop could include soft cotton cloth chairs, animal-shaped pillows, glazed glass cups, and grape wine….”

Chun Xing counted a few items on her fingers, her eyes lighting up with each one, “We could sell all these items, and business would surely boom.”

Ye Muyu chuckled softly, “You silly girl, you truly remembered them all. It must have been hard for you to hold it in for so long.”

Chun Xing pouted slightly, feeling a bit aggrieved.
