The young couple looked at each other as they ate, the meal feeling like a novel experience.
Zhu Yun told him about taking on apprentices that afternoon.
Chu Shenyu smiled in acknowledgment and then sighed. "After all my years of study, you're the one who gets to enjoy an apprentice's offering first."
"That's right. I got twelve apprentices out of the blue. So, is the master's husband happy?" Zhu Yun teased him with a grin.
Her jab hit home, but Chu Shenyu actually gave it some serious thought before nodding. "I'm pretty happy about it. Before, people just knew me for me. When they talked about my family, they'd say, 'Oh, isn't that so-and-so from Chu Shenyu's family?'"
"But now, my wife is bringing me glory. From now on, when people mention me, they'll say, 'Oh, my goodness! Isn't that Director Yun's husband, the master's husband to all those apprentices?'"
