Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife-Chapter 1101 - 1098: Du Heng Gets Married

Chapter 1101: Chapter 1098: Du Heng Gets Married

“Has the Young Master Xie’s family received this news yet?” Ye Muyu had also received the New Year’s gift sent by the Xie family, and she exchanged letters with Madam Xie, who rarely mentioned anything about Xie Yu’s official position. However, from the very little that Madam Xie mentioned, Ye Muyu could tell that the other party didn’t mind Xie Yu only holding an external position.

For most non-official wealthy families, becoming an official of the capital was something unattainable, unless one became the top scholar or the like.

Xie Yu passing the imperial examination was already very satisfying for the Xie family.

“They know; he has already discussed it with the elders in his family,” Chu Heng nodded.

Ye Muyu patted her head: “No wonder, this year’s New Year’s gift from the Xie family was exceptionally generous. I was even thinking that the return gift wasn’t enough and wanted Mother and the others to add something more from back home.”

“By the way, Xiang Ling’er has been betrothed to Du Heng. The wedding is set for next year, in March after the New Year. It was initially planned for this year, but Du Heng had gone on a business trip and only returned a few days ago.”

...

“Du Heng is a good young man. Xiang Ling’er marrying him could be fortunate if they have a good relationship,” Chu Heng mused. Now his head was filled only with his knowledge of Du Heng from his previous life, and even what he knew of Xiang Ling’er came from information collected by government sources.

But what one sees in letters is invariably different from the emotions felt when truly interacting with someone.

“This is good news. I plan to give them a Together-forever Lock, a peony-bloomed screen, and a set of jewelry. Ah Heng, what do you think, would that be too little?” Ye Muyu was not short of silver to spend. She was one to seldom spend money, so she had quite a savings.

When it came to close friends and juniors she was acquainted with, she was sincere in her gifts.

“That’s more than enough. Du Heng is quite the businessman, and his family does not lack silver. With you adding to Xiang Ling’er’s dowry, if she’s capable, she’ll gradually buy manors and stores and manage her own dowry,” Chu Heng said.

“With you and me here, she won’t be bullied by anyone.”

“Besides, there are quite a few juniors in the family. If I’m not mistaken, there are many young ones in the family getting married next year.”

Ye Muyu twisted his clothes in her hand, “Okay, then I’ll send those gifts.”

Actually, she was laid-back by nature, and the gifts she gave entirely depended on her relationship with the person. As for those relatives in the family, she did not personally need to give gifts but could simply do so in Chu Heng’s name.

Seeing that she was not happy, Chu Heng reached out and grasped her fingers, speaking in a deep voice, “I will also give gifts and will not let her be treated unfairly.”

“As for whom you give gifts to, that depends on Ah Yu’s mood.”

This meant that he would handle the formalities for giving gifts, while Ye Muyu could act as she pleased.

“Thank you,” Ye Muyu said happily, turning her head and smiling at him.

Seeing her happy, a faint smile also crossed Chu Heng’s lips. It was subtle, but it also softened his delicate face.

That evening.

Ye Muyu’s family hosted Xie Yu, learning that he would be setting off for the county government to take up his post in three days.

That night, Xie Yu and Chu Heng went into the study to talk.

The following day, Chu Heng arranged for bailiffs to personally escort Xie Yu to take up his post in the County City below.

Three days later, Chu Heng returned.

Ye Muyu took out the clothes she had made for Chu Heng from the clothing store and went out herself to welcome him at the entrance.

The sound of horse hooves grew closer, and seeing the familiar carriage, she stepped out towards the gate.

The carriage stopped, and Chu Heng got down directly from it, his familiar eyes and brows, but Ye Muyu felt he was in a good mood.

“Ah Yu, why have you come out?”

It was still snowing today; Su Mei held an umbrella for Ye Muyu, but as she stepped out, Chu Heng took the umbrella from her.

Su Mei did not dare to interject and quickly retreated.
