The head of the Mu family

Chapter 75 Sending a Bride to Da Mao in Panlong

At the end of November, Mu Huaisheng bid farewell to his handkerchief.

It was explained that he needed to return to Panlong for a relative's wedding.

Although we've been best friends for almost three months, she's in good health now.

But because it was my first pregnancy, I was always unsure of myself.

Mu Huaisheng repeatedly assured her that she was perfectly healthy and there was absolutely nothing to worry about.

Everything, including the food, has been arranged.

And they'll come back after the New Year holidays there.

However, she returned home in January, and her best friend made her promise again and again.

"I promise!

I will definitely return to you before the end of the first month of the lunar calendar.

"I'm not taking any of my luggage, so please don't worry, madam."

The Crown Princess was relieved after hearing this.

He found an opportunity to take half a day off and bid farewell to the noblewoman.

I checked the pulses of the wealthy lady and her family to ensure their well-being and then changed their medicinal diet.

One day, when Xiaoqian was taking a break...

I instructed him to take care of the shop during his time off while I was away.

Before the Lunar New Year, we will be promoting one of our three prized items, numbered 5, 15, and 25.

Let him keep an eye on these things.

He also explained to everyone in the store:

"This time, Brother Wu and Qingyue are traveling with me."

After I went to Panlong, something happened at the shop, and Uncle Dong, Wanxing, and Uncle Li discussed it.

If the three of them can't decide, they'll wait for Xiao Qianyan to take a break or vacation before making a decision.

Before leaving, the lady gave her a plaque.

"Any official post station that sees this sign will treat you with great hospitality."

Hang it on the carriage when you travel, and you'll have a safe journey!

Mu Huaisheng was extremely grateful to the noblewoman.

When he left, his confidante also gave him a plaque from the Duke's mansion, which Mu Huaisheng declined.

"Madam, thank you so much~"

The Marquis's wife has already given you one, so don't worry about your journey~

The handkerchief-wearing woman scolded playfully:

"You can always have more of these, take them with you~"

More appropriate~

Mu Huaisheng didn't want to refuse her kindness, so he accepted it.

The group only bought some food for the journey, leaving the other necessities in the carriage.

He brought enough loose silver for the journey, as well as additional banknotes.

The house deeds, land deeds, and personal deeds were all locked with a Luban lock, and Xiao Qianyan was asked to help put them away.

He strung the keys together and hung them around his neck.

In addition, both Qingyue and Mu Huaisheng were wearing normal men's clothing.

Brother Wu was in charge of driving the carriage, and both horses were harnessed.

Mu Huaisheng looked at this scene:

Hehe, does this count as buying a used 7 Series?

Because her best friend was extremely uneasy, she left on the last day of November.

This means they've been inseparable for three months.

With only a dozen days to travel, we were constantly on the move, getting up early and working late. Fortunately, when we arrived at the official post station, we saw two signs, and both were incredibly polite.

Mu Huaisheng sighed inwardly:

The taste of power is truly intoxicating.

Who wouldn't covet this!

The journey, which usually takes about twenty days, was completed in fifteen days.

We arrived in Panlong on the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month and checked into Tingshan Villa.

Twenty days ago:

"Go to Panlong and stay at Tingshan Villa."

"Madam, there's no need to trouble yourself."

"What's the trouble?"

"The villa is just sitting empty anyway, are you trying to play games with me?"

"Of course not!"

"That's good then. Uncle Liu and the others will be happy to see you."

It's settled then!

They arrived late that night.

Upon seeing them, the gatekeeper quickly ushered them inside.

Brother Wu stayed in the outer courtyard, Mu Huaisheng stayed in the same old place, and Qingyue slept on the kang (heated brick bed) where she kept watch at night.

The three of them slept soundly until dawn, and didn't wake up until noon the next day.

It took me a while to realize that I was in Panlong after I opened my eyes.

At noon, Uncle Liu called us to lunch. After lunch, he asked about Da Mao's wedding progress and what was still missing.

Uncle Liu said with a smile:

"Da Mao is making a lot of money now, not only selling ready-made clothes but also doing embroidery work."

Occasionally, she would even embroider patterns herself and sell them; she had everything prepared.

When she came to me with a message for you, I took her to the house.

He gave her the keys, the land deed, and the rent.

The child cried and said she didn't deserve it.

He said that he only mustered up some courage when he saw you were almost beaten to death.

"Oh dear, Uncle Liu, I've already come to terms with it."

My surname is now Mu, and my relationship with them is only...

They were relatives before!

Uncle Liu paused for a moment, then said:

"That Er Ya, I didn't realize she was so formidable~"

She's practically a manager at the clothing store now, and the two younger girls are doing quite well too.

"As expected, she has been smart since she was a child."

Aside from me not being around much, she was the one who got hit and scolded the least.

I can go out and earn money to bring back, but she's just plain smart!

Later, when I taught them arithmetic and literacy, I could tell.

Although she felt that what she learned was not very useful, she learned it more easily than the other three people.

I guess the thing I regret most now, the one thing I didn't judge correctly, is that I survived after that incident.

Ah~ I'm glad they're all doing well~

“That’s all in the past. Your foundation isn’t here now, kid.”

Uncle Liu offered a word of advice: you live your life, and they live theirs.

Aside from being a relative visiting for a drink, there's no need for any other entanglements.

“I know what you mean, where I am is none of their business.”

If they encounter any difficulties, please let me know, and I'll ask you to lend a hand.

You know what I was thinking about that matter.

Who knew plans would change? I'm even better now, and I can do whatever I want without restraint.

"When one person is full, the whole family isn't hungry."

"Yes! After everything you've been through, you're a sensible child~"

"I'll have to bother Uncle Liu again this afternoon to find someone to take the three of us to buy two sets of ready-made clothes each."

I'll go to the shop again and buy Da Mao a set of jewelry to complete his makeup~

"Alright, I'll have Madam Tang take you there in a bit."

In the afternoon, we went to the clothing store first and met Er Ya. Er Ya immediately called over the other three girls.

When the four of them met, Mu Huaisheng was very excited. They had all grown a lot since they last saw each other more than a year ago.

Da Mao asked Mu Huaisheng to move into the house he had bought, and Mu Huaisheng said he already had a place to stay.

The doctor who treated this lady before was staying at her house.

Mu Huaisheng immediately got down to business.

I bought myself two sets of embroidered brocade clothes.

I bought two sets of fine cotton clothes for Qingyue, and I also bought two sets of fine cotton clothes for the centurion.

I said goodbye to them and told them to work hard. I told them we could have dinner together whenever they had free time in the evenings.

I originally brought back two elegant gold hairpins as a congratulatory gift.

After thinking about it, he asked Madam Tang to take him to a gold shop and spent more than two hundred taels of silver to buy a set of gold jewelry in the local style.

The packaging is good, and it definitely looks much more presentable. The main selling point is that it's affordable and comes in a large quantity.

I bought a lot of gifts, planning to visit Dr. Qian the next day.

I also bought a small but expensive gift for Uncle Liu.

When Uncle Liu presented him with the gift, Uncle Liu couldn't hide his joy.

Gift-giving tips:

If the conditions are generally good, then the main selling point should be affordability and large quantity.

If the recipient is a leader or manager of a large corporation, choose a small but valuable gift.

In the evening, I went to have dinner with Da Mao and the others at a small restaurant next to that house.

At the beginning, Wu Shishuai and Qingyue were standing on the side.

Mu Huaisheng called them to sit down and eat, and Wu Shishuai said solemnly:

"How can I dine at the same table as the head of the family?"

That's against the rules!

Qingyue stood respectfully to the side, while the four maids, unaware of what was going on, stood up awkwardly.

"Now you won't listen to me anymore?"

"Please sit down and eat together, sit down!"

The martial arts master then sat down in the lower seat, and the four girls also breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

Qingyue sat next to Mu Huaisheng and began serving him when the meal started.
