Today was a rare good day; the continuous overcast skies had finally cleared, and Chu Jin along with Chu Bo jumped down from the horse carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Sheng and Chu Zhang were to go and entertain the son of the County Magistrate’s family, Young Master Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Wang and Madam Zhang were meeting with Old Madame Du, the county magistrate’s wife, and the young maiden of the county magistrate’s family, Yang Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Female relatives mingled with female relatives, while the men walked separately; because the relations were good, there wasn’t much need for formalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Qingyu was younger than Yang Shan, but she was tall for her age, and she seemed older than the delicately raised Yang Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Sister Yang, my name is Chu Qingyu, you can just call me Qingyu from now on.” Chu Qingyu had been instructed by Madam Wang before leaving the house; she might not have many strengths, but she excelled in being obedient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Wang had told her to talk more with Yang Shan, so Chu Qingyu was very proactive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, Qingyu,” Yang Shan said with a shy smile. She had a round face that was very cute when she smiled, her eyes sparkling like stars. Perhaps it was because she was so doted on, her manner of speaking was very naive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your skin is really nice,” Yang Shan said with envy in her eyes, asking, “May I touch your face?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course,” replied Chu Qingyu, thrilled to be praised and boasting, “I use the cream sold in my Third Aunt’s shop every day, that’s why it’s so nice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Shan, her fingers itching, reached out and touched her face, which was smooth and tender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it the cream sold at the Mei Mian Rouge Shop?” Yang Shan poked her fingertips and asked, “I only heard about this shop when I came to the County City. It was not available in the Northern Region, and each time, our maidservants had to rush to buy it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You should go to the shop first and see what suits you best before buying blindly—it’s a waste of silver,” Qingyu advised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Shan blinked in surprise, “I didn’t know you could try it before. I only followed what Mother said, they’re all very effective but quite expensive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not too expensive because one bottle can last a long time; you don’t need to buy a new one for half a year, and you don’t need to use too much each time. My Third Aunt says it has a long-term effect; using too much in a short period won’t make the results notably better,” she explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Shan counted on her fingers, “That’s really great, I’ve saved enough monthly salary to buy two jars.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shan Shan, come over and greet the ladies,” Lady Yang called her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Shan walked over with small steps, greeting Mrs. Du, Madam Zhang, Madam Wang, and others respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Qingyu was also called over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their children weren’t part of the adults’ conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exchanging glances, Chu Qingyu said, “Mother, I’ll talk with Elder Sister Yang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, our adult conversations might be boring for the children; better to let them go and play by themselves for a while,” Lady Yang agreed, nodding her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Wang earnestly instructed her daughter, “Qingyu, take good care of Shan Shan, don’t run around.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know, Mother. Don’t worry. Besides, the brothers are nearby composing poetry and discussing scholarly matters; I’ll just talk with Elder Sister Yang,” she responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Qingyu, saying this, took the lead and walked ahead with Yang Shan, whose cheeks were a bit red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrangement was tacitly understood by all families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The matchmaking was indeed initiated by the Du families, which is why they were together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, look quickly,” urged Chu Bo, more enthusiastic than anyone upon seeing Yang Shan approach, making faces at Chu Zhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhang, who was by nature honest, blushed a deep red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t make a fuss,” Chu Zhang said, scolding Chu Bo.\u003C\u002Fp>",712,"2026-06-05T23:54:28.214Z",1,"novelbin.me","66ddf5ad7802e6fd982019815e83fdc55d98f1f0fcc5e084c6db9c4831e6c182","peasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-chapter-1382","peasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-chapter-1380",2499,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpeasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-cover.jpg"]
