Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1132: Chapter 1129 Going Out

Ye Muyu loosened the cloth on her head as she spoke, “Help me bring the hot pot noodles to the dining hall, and tell everyone else to come eat too.”

Madam Hu and the others naturally nodded repeatedly.

After washing her hands and face and applying cream to her face, Ye Muyu lit incense in the dining hall before she began to eat.

“Mother, this is really delicious,” Chu Jin ate quickly, her little mouth all red, especially fond of the meat, which Ye Muyu had prepared in abundance.

Chu Ziluo, with sweat on the tip of her nose, asked, “Mother, the weather in Yanjing is cool, should I start wearing autumn and winter clothes?”

She was worried that dressing too warmly would make her a laughing stock when going out.

...

“I just saw that many of the people in the capital are dressed rather lightly,” Chu Ziluo said with some indecision.

“I remember, last year I made a few goose-down clothes for you, which are thin but warm,” Ye Muyu understood the children’s desire to not stand out and thought for a moment.

“But, Mother, those clothes have a down exterior and look thin in winter, but even if they are thin, they seem thick in autumn,” Chu Ziluo wiped her sweaty nose and took another bite of hot pot noodles, with meat, feeling completely comfortable. After sitting in the carriage for so long, her whole body was sore.

Eating unsatisfactory food all this time, and now finally being able to eat her mother’s cooking, Chu Ziluo realized that having a mother meant being treasured. In the past, she thought Aunt Zhao was exaggerating, but now, after half a month without her mother’s cooking, she understood what happiness meant!

“Silly child, have you forgotten that the lining can be changed?”

Chu Ziluo slapped her forehead, “Mother, you’re right, I completely forgot. I’ll add the lining later, so that wearing normal autumn clothes won’t feel cold.”

“I’m not afraid of the cold, I won’t add a lining,” Chu Jin hurriedly raised his hand to declare, his little face flushed and his head full of sweat.

Ye Muyu knew that he had previously trained with Chu Heng in swordsmanship during the winters, and his body was also strong. Chu Jin, who was almost ten, had grown tall like bamboo, a lot taller, and now he was already up to Ye Muyu’s neck. He probably would reach Chu Heng’s height in another two or three years.

Chu Ziluo was almost twelve, already a slender and graceful young girl.

At the age when she loved beauty, but as a girl, Ye Muyu did not want her to develop a tendency for cold, so she usually had her dress warmly.

“If you don’t want to wear it, it’s fine, your body is strong, and enduring the cold is possible. Boys are different from girls after all,” Ye Muyu did not insist.

“Mother, I’m finished eating. Can I go out to the capital with you later?” Chu Jin hurriedly asked.

“Sure, if you want to go, just come with us. But I’m going to buy household items, so don’t complain about it being boring,” Ye Muyu warned him in advance.

Chu Jin patted his chest, “I won’t mind at all, Mother. Don’t worry, I actually want to explore around.”

After finishing the meal, they waited for Chu Ziluo to change clothes.

The family then left the house.

They still took the carriage.

The streets of Yanjing were spacious, and traveling by carriage was not at all crowded.

Ye Muyu first visited the flower and bird market, choosing several pots of plants to place one in each room and some for the yard. She needed to pick large potted plants as Yanjing’s climate was dry, and these items were all necessary to add a touch of greenery.

“This pot is ten taels, this one is twenty taels. Lady, do you want both?”

Chun Xing, upon hearing the prices, was startled and whispered, “Lady, in Yuzhou, a pot of plants would only be three to four taels of silver at most. Why are they so expensive in Yanjing? We have a manor outside Yan Capital that could grow our own; wouldn’t that be better?”

Since knowing the income from the Capital’s Rouge Shop, Ye Muyu was aware of the high cost of living in Yanjing.
