Otherwise, with the Xie family’s wealth, they would have opened shops around

the entire South Origin Prefecture.

Mrs. Xie said frankly, “I used my dowry to open the shop. Actually, I was worried that my third son would not be used to the food when he went out for his exams, so I wanted to open a specialty restaurant. When he goes to the prefecture or even the capital, he can also eat his hometown dishes.”

“You’re so good to Third Young Master, Mrs. Xie. Third Young Master will definitely be very happy if he knows.” Ye Muyu smiled sincerely.

However, logically speaking, Xie Yu should have brought a chef with him when he went to take the exam. It would be easy to eat hometown dishes. There was no need to open a restaurant.

However, Ye Muyu felt that opening a specialty restaurant was also a selling point. If the taste was good enough, it could still be operated. As long as it was a business that could earn money, it was not a bad idea to try it.

“As long as he does well in the exams, it would be the greatest reward for me. If a family like ours can’t produce scholars, things will only get harder and harder. I’m doing this for his own good.” Mrs. Xie sighed slightly.

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Xie,” Ye Muyu said. “I heard from my husband that the Third Young Master is very knowledgeable. It won’t be a problem for him to pass the exam.”

“Did Scholar Chu really say that?” Mrs. Xie’s face was filled with joy.

Only then did Ye Muyu realize that her husband was really knowledgeable. “My husband did say so. Mrs. Xie, don’t worry.”

“I just hope that he can pass the exam smoothly this time. Actually, my third son is still young and can wait. However, his second uncle suggested that he should go to the examination hall to try and gain some experience.”

“Look at me, I’m going off topic. I’ll get someone to prepare the account book for this shop first. Then, we’ll discuss how we should cooperate.”

“Your cooking skills are good. If you’re willing, just focus on cooking. My Xie family doesn’t lack money.”

“Ah Yu, the Xie family might have a lot of money, but money can’t buy craftsmanship. So, your culinary skills are really good.” Mrs. Xie patted the back of her hand.

Ye Muyu thought that although her cooking skills were not bad, it was not that good. It was just that she was a little more unique than others. It was not as precious as Mrs. Xie said.

However, the other party was obviously giving her face by saying this. She felt ashamed to accept it. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, “You’re flattering me, Mrs. Xie.”

“I’m telling the truth.” Mrs. Xie could not help but laugh.

Fifteen minutes later…

Ye Muyu left the backyard.

Coincidentally, it was when Master Xie returned.

She saw Master Xie pointing at the flowers and asking why a pot was missing.

Ye Muyu paid attention.

“Madam gave it to Mrs. Chu,” the servant beside Mrs. Xie replied.

“I see. Then I’ll go find similar flowers tomorrow to make up for it. These few days, those madams will definitely find an opportunity to visit. I can’t be mocked for missing a pot of flowers.”

“Yes, Master.”

Ye Muyu walked far away, but she could still hear the low laughter of the maids.

Clearly, Mrs. Xie’s words were not fake. Those flowers were indeed used to enhance their family’s foundation. Perhaps Mrs. Xie had been secretly mocked by those madams in this aspect and suffered a loss. Otherwise, Master Xie would not have such an attitude.

However, the other party had given her such an expensive flower just like that. It made her feel guilty.

Ye Muyu returned to the courtyard.

She heard the sound of two children playing.

The servant girl who sent her back stopped at the door. “Mrs. Chu, this servant will send you here. If you need anything, just look for the others on duty here.”

“Sorry for the trouble.” Ye Muyu nodded. After thinking for a while, she took out an unused handkerchief from her waist and handed it to her..
