She Imew that Song Lu was only temporarily poor. With land, exemption from taxes and corvee and a job as a teacher, she would have a good life in the future.

In particular, Song Lu was also very polite. Even Madam Liu did not say anything about his character, so he was naturally very good.

The more dowry she had now, the more opportunities she would have to help Song Lu. At that time, her status in her husband’s family would also be higher. Even if Song Lu became rich in the future, he would not mistreat her.

Song Lu had also seen the Chu family.

Song Lu first nodded at Madam Liu, Madam Zhang, and the other elders then greeted Chu Heng. Because there were too many people, he did not come over.

Soon, the first round of the competition ended.

There were not many who had good results, but those rich girls were also good at needlework and were all in the top 20.

There were also girls from the countryside who had good craftsmanship and a good ranking.

With the experience from the previous round, it was obviously faster.

By the time Chu Ziluo went up on stage, two hours had passed.

This time, it was Ye Muyu who went over, followed by Madam Zhang, Madam Wang and other sisters-in-law.

Ye Muyu found a seat and sat down. After a while, she heard Madam Han’s name.

Madam Han was her maternal sister-in-law, and her daughter, Ye Mengjie, was also going up for the competition. Previously, the original host valued boys over girls, so she gave many good things to her maternal family.

Most of them fell into the hands of Madam Han.

Although Old Madam Ye did not say it, Ye Muyu asked later and knew that Madam Han had always been gloomy.

She, who never liked to go out, was actually willing to come to the county?

Ye Muyu felt that she might have underestimated her sister-in-law, but because she was sitting in front, she did not turn around to greet her.

Chu Ziluo went up the stage and was a little far away from Ye Muyu. She looked back at her mother and saw Ye Mengjie who was not far away. Worry and inferiority flashed in her eyes.

However, when she thought of how well her mother had treated her these days, Chu Ziluo clenched her fists and looked at the embroidered cloth in front of her. Her eyes were full of seriousness.

When she heard the bailiff say start, she seriously began to bring out her best skills and began to bury herself in embroidery.

Ye Mengjie also saw Chu Ziluo. A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. However, when she saw that the others around her had also started to make their moves, she hurriedly lowered her head and started.

However, looking at her movements, it was obvious that her skills were not that good.

30 minutes later, time was up.

Chu Ziluo and the others followed suit.

Chu Heng was already waiting at the front door.

Ye Muyu retreated from her seat. As soon as she got back to her seat, someone bumped into her.

Lu Chuan quickly went over to separate the man who had knocked her down.

Ye Muyu instinctively lowered her head to look at the sachet at her waist. She didn’t bring her money pouch, and all the silver was with Chu Heng. However, she felt a force on the sachet just now.

As expected, she looked down and saw the sachet on the ground, just two steps away from her.

However, there were people all around, and there were many women urging him from behind. In just a short while, the surroundings became crowded.

Ye Muyu was cautious by nature. She asked Lu Chuan for a copper coin and handed it to the little boy sitting on the chair next to her. “Help me pick up the sachet. Little boy, this copper coin is yours.”

“Really?” Although the little boy was suspicious, he did not hesitate. He bent down to pick up the sachet and handed it to Ye Muyu. At the same time, he reached out for the copper coin.

Ye Muyu took back her personal belongings and felt relieved. She said to Lu

Chuan, “Let’s go back first..”
