Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2529: Chapter 2526: Plenty of Ideas

Chu Heng squeezed her hand. “Be careful.”

“Don’t worry.”

Lady Su was a bit envious. “My lady and Lord Chu are truly affectionate.”

“Thank you.” Ye Muyu would never say something like “you’ll have this too someday,” the kind of words that poke right at a person’s heart.

Compared to commoners, these Officials’ Wives at least had status and silver; she had no need to pity them.

Besides, feelings were a matter of knowing cold and warm for oneself; if they chose to marry for benefit, her not saying “serves you right” out loud was already being polite.

Seeing that Ye Muyu obviously did not wish to dwell on the topic, Lady Su sighed inwardly but was tactful enough to change the subject.

The two of them reached the entrance together and indeed saw a wooden sign, with a servant boy standing beside it.

“My ladies, is there something you require?” The servant boy wore just the right degree of a smile, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.

“That’s right. This is a board for people to submit suggestions, isn’t it?” Ye Muyu came over to look for herself, thinking inwardly: as expected.

So she cooperated even more, and said at once, “I’d like to have a separate horse field dedicated to pitch-pot. I’d like to know what needs to be done in order to section one off.”

The servant boy’s smile deepened. “In answer to my lady, regarding this point, several ladies have already come to inquire before. However, the Steward has set a rule: only when more than twenty ladies apply in a single day, and purchase a silver card, can such a field be established and made accessible.”

“My ladies, please look. Right here, there is already a suggestion concerning this item. A total of six ladies have purchased a silver card, and so it has been confirmed.” The servant boy lifted off one of the slips of paper, on which this matter was clearly recorded, with six stamped seals beneath it to indicate the six people.

When Lady Su heard this, she hadn’t expected there to really be a chance. But when she heard “silver card,” she hesitated a little and asked, “How many taels of silver does this silver card cost?”

“Thirty taels of silver will suffice to obtain a silver card. Not only does it grant this particular privilege, there are other locations where entry is free. My ladies, please look; this is the list.”

The servant boy was obviously prepared. He directly took out a few more slips of paper from the wooden box at the side.

The content listed various entertainment items and their specific locations.

And indeed, there was quite a lot in there.

Just looking at it made Ye Muyu eager to give it all a try; she wanted to go play. There was even mountain climbing with a glass walkway.

“Is this silver card for life, or does it have a time limit?” Ye Muyu asked.

“It’s for life.” The servant boy praised it to the skies. “Not only is there a silver card, there is also a gold medal. Previously, even The Minister’s Family’s lady came and bought a gold medal. With it, she can go up the mountain to the temple to worship Buddha and even taste vegetarian fare.”

“My ladies may not know: although our Ping’an Temple on the mountain has only recently become known, Master Yuanhe once personally recited Buddhist scriptures here on site. Otherwise the horse ranch would not have been located here.” The servant boy was quite eloquent, and his words clearly hooked Lady Su in. She was extremely astonished. “Really? Master Yuanhe has been here? Then when can I see Master Yuanhe again?”

“The great master’s movements are naturally not something the likes of us small folk can know. However, what I do know is that as long as you have the fate, my lady is certain to see him.” The servant boy was clever as well.

He made no promises, yet still used Master Yuanhe as a selling point.

No doubt Master Yuanhe himself had a hand in this as well.

That man was unlike ordinary masters; he clearly did not shy away from whether it was making silver to do good deeds, or raising silver to do good deeds.

“Since Master Yuanhe has been here, then this must surely be a place of deep blessed fate.” Ye Muyu had already had the idea in mind; with this reason to back her up, it was all the easier to justify.
