“You’re welcome. You look good in anything. It’s also very pleasing to the eyes.” Ye Muyu deliberately said this seriously, but in fact, she was observing Chu Heng’s emotional changes.

As expected, a certain someone’s ears turned even redder.

Coupled with his serious expression, those who did not know better would think that he had encountered some difficult problem. In fact, he was just shy.

“Go carve the blessing cake.” Ye Muyu took the opportunity to arrange work for him.

“Yes.” Chu Heng walked over and pressed the cooked blessing cake into the mold.

After lunch, Chu Heng brought his family to the county to participate in the female arts competition.

Lu Chuan had returned a long time ago. He was in charge of driving the carriage.

Zhang Shu drove his family’s mule cart to Chu Cai’s house to pick up his family.

Chu Cai’s family did not have a mule cart or an ox cart. They had already borrowed a mule cart from Chu Heng.

Soon, they arrived at the old mansion.

When they arrived, Madam Liu and the others were boarding the ox-cart. This time, the two sons of Madam Zhang, Chu Sheng and Chu Ming, were also on the ox-cart.

The first branch’s ox cart was a handcart without a shed.

This was also for the convenience of pulling goods.

Therefore, she could see what the first branch had brought with him at a glance.

Gifts were wrapped in cloth bags. There was also a stool for each person and some dishes.

The reason why they brought the stool was to sit down and watch the competition. There were a total of 521 women who had registered in the county this time. If 100 people were competing at once, they would need at least 5 rounds.

This was not a short time.

Those who were watching the show definitely could not stand that long.

That was why the county magistrate had arranged for them to bring stools. On the other hand. Chu Oincxianc was wearing new clothes and had Dut some makeup on her face. She had already taken good care of herself and her skin was not too dark. She also knew how to use rouge and makeup, so she looked quite good.

Not only that, but even Madam Zhang even used makeup.

Chu Jin was playful. He opened the curtain and called out to everyone.

Ye Muyu had already called out to her elders when she saw them. When Chu Jin was done, she gently patted Chu Ziluo, who obediently called out to her as well. “Alright, let’s go. If we’re late, we won’t be able to find a good spot to watch.”

After Madam Liu spoke, the group of people rushed to the county.

15 minutes later, Ye Muyu and the others appeared in the county.

Looking at the bustling county town, he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. There were too many people.

Every street in the county was full of people. It was only a quarter past noon, but there was already a long queue at the city gate.

This time, they had to pay a city entrance fee, which was one coin per person.

If the mule cart did not have a house in the county, it was not allowed to enter.

Ye Muyu and the others were lined up in the distance.

“Have the Third Young Master of the Xie family and the county magistrate discussed the matter of the Soft Fragrance Cake?” she asked Chu Heng after taking a look outside.

“Yes, the entrance fee collected will be used to make Soft Fragrance Cakes.”

“What?” Ye Muyu was surprised. “Isn’t it the Third Young Master of the Xie

Family who’s giving them to the county magistrate in the name of the Xie

Family?”

Although the county magistrate of Nanchang County was not known for corruption, ignoring government affairs, drinking, or only enjoying himself, he would usually accept gifts from rich families.

It was not uncommon for people to receive gifts in the Great Chu Dynasty. However, whether they had the luck to receive them or not to enjoy them was another matter.

In short, Ye Muyu subconsciously felt that she had wanted to use the county magistrate to promote the Soft Fragrance Cake. She had never thought that the magistrate would give her money. After all, they would be the ones who benefited in the end.

To be able to get the county to distribute the Soft Fragrance Cake before the competition began was already equivalent to owing the county magistrate a favor…
