“Sir, please wait a moment. This servant will inform Madam now,” Nenya said softly.
Wang Chuan smiled gently and nodded. “Sorry to trouble you.”
Nenya turned around and ran into the courtyard.
After a while, Ye Muyu and Madam Hu walked to the entrance of the courtyard.
“Brother Chuan, are you here to give me shoes?” Ye Muyu asked expectantly.
You guys are really punctual. It’s earlier than I expected.”
“Sister-in-law, you’re too polite. Father and I thought that since the provincial examination is coming soon, we didn’t dare to delay.”
“It’s good that I didn’t delay Brother Heng.”
“Sister-in-law, I’ll take the shoes out now.” Wang Chuan turned around and took the bundle from the mule cart.
Madam Hu followed up to help.
After a while, the few of them had already entered the central room with the shoes.
Madam Hu put down her shoes and quickly took Nenya to the kitchen. She called her daughter to wash the teacup and bring it over. She quickly boiled the tea herself.
In the central room…
Ye Muyu asked Wang Chuan to sit down.
She then turned to the side and opened the five packages one by one.
The first was the deerskin boots.
Ye Muyu was stunned when she saw it. Because it was handmade, it looked very beautiful. The style was the kind of riding boots that were very popular these days.
There were also nomads in the north of Great Chu. They had already belonged to Great Chu, so naturally, the customs and habits there had slowly spread to the Central Plains.
The entire Great Chu was bustling with business, and the requirements for clothing were not strict. Usually, the clothing was influenced by different regions, and there was a variety of clothing.
For example, there were peddlers and soldiers wearing boots. Most of the commoners still wore cloth shoes.
After all, leather was made from real animal skin. It was expensive and most people could not afford it.
“Sorry for the trouble. This is very well made. I wonder how waterproof it is?” Ye Muyu did not know much about the characteristics of the leather boots at this time, so she asked modestly.
“Deerskin boots are very light,” Wang Chuan answered patiently. “Not only are they tough, but they’re also very comfortable to wear. Although they look soft, they’re very sturdy and water-resistant.”
Ye Muyu was relieved.
This was what she had prepared for Chu Heng to wear on rainy days. In this day and age, catching a cold was a serious illness. He had to be in his best condition for the exam, so he naturally could not catch a cold.
Putting down the deerskin boots, Ye Muyu looked at the other two. The next two were ordinary cloth shoes, and the other was a pair of fine mesh cloth shoes.
“Good.” Ye Muyu could not help but laugh when she saw that Wang Chuan had really done it. “Very good. I’m very satisfied.”
Wang Chuan’s slightly embarrassed expression disappeared. He heaved a sigh of relief. After hesitating for a moment, he advised, “Sister-in-law, if you wear this pair of shoes outside, it might be a little outstanding.”
Not only would she be outstanding, but she would also be a laughing stock.
Ye Muyu could not help but laugh when she saw him carefully choosing his words as if he was afraid that he would say something wrong and make her unhappy.
“Don’t worry, I’ll only wear it at home. I won’t wear it outside. Don’t worry, Brother Chuan. ”
Seeing the smile in Ye Muyu’s eyes, Wang Chuan knew that he had been overly worried. He coughed awkwardly. “I was overthinking. Please don’t blame me, Sister-in-law.”
“You have good intentions. I won’t blame you.”
The atmosphere was very good.
Ye Muyu opened the other two bags.
There was a pair of women’s riding boots and two boots that were one size smaller.
It was obvious that it was the size of two children.
“Brother Chuan, these three pairs of shoes are…” she was a little surprised.
She only asked Wang Chuan to make three pairs for Chu Heng. Hers and the child’s shoes could just be bought at the clothing store..
