The head of the Mu family

Chapter 145 Try it

"Then I'll take this waitress's kind words as a congratulatory message."

Qianyan said with a heart full of joy.

Wishing you both a long and happy marriage, and many children and blessings!

Huai Sheng hurriedly put on his cap and, with Qing Tian in tow, boarded the carriage first. A moment later, Qian Yan came up carrying a brocade box.

Huai Sheng intended to dress as a man when he went out, but later changed back into women's clothing when he took the carriage.

To avoid trouble, I slightly altered my hairstyle and added two pearl flowers as a token gesture.

In the Daliang region, unmarried girls often wear their hair loose, which makes them look more gentle and graceful.

Due to differences in customs and habits, a big misunderstanding occurred, and it was getting dark.

"It's getting late, shall we go to a restaurant for dinner?"

After Qianyan got into the car, knowing that she was too shy to continue shopping, he suggested that she go out for a meal.

"No, I'm not going. Let's go home today."

Huai Sheng was somewhat embarrassed: This is too shameful!

The group then headed back home, changed into casual clothes, had dinner, and the two of them strolled hand in hand in the garden to digest their food.

Qianyan chattered on and on to Huaisheng about what had happened after the Great Liang.

After Qianyan arrived in Daliang, the Regent explained to him:

Back then, in order to maintain stability in the imperial court, the entire Cui family had no choice but to be used as bait and sacrificed.

Back then, the other party supported the young fifteenth prince to seize the throne.

To secure their rule, the Regent and the Empress Dowager used the Cui family's supposed treasure and extensive intelligence network as bait, leading to the family's downfall.

The Regent's explanation was weak:

The matter from back then was his decision after discussing it with the Empress Dowager, and he had also spoken to Mr. and Mrs. Cui in advance, and they had agreed.

But they were all focused on the well-being of Daliang, and there was no other way to make sacrifices.

Later, the regent was also very sad, as she was his own sister, and he had already avenged the Cui family.

He also showed Qianyan the letters about what happened back then and the documents after the revenge was taken.

Now that Qianyan has been found, she was made to start high-intensity martial arts training, and she endured four years of inhumane and arduous training.

Later, he was asked to contact the old subordinates of the Cui family and rebuild the Qingtianwang website.

After returning to Daliang, Qianyan had already secretly contacted the old subordinates of the Cui family.

The Cui family's intelligence network is real, and they do have some treasure; the Cui family has been mining all along.

I returned home for a few days that year and learned from Wanxing that Huaisheng had returned from the border.

Having just gained some freedom, he hurried back home for a few days.

Later, after learning what had happened to Huaisheng at the border, I secretly rejoiced for a long time:

Huai Sheng is so kind, but the people on the border are uncivilized.

The men in Yedu are quite different; if I don't seize the opportunity, I won't have another chance to be happy.

Sure enough, this morning I heard Qingyun report on what Huaisheng had been up to over the past year.

If it weren't for that part of the journey with Li Rongchuan at the border, Jing Tang, that brat, would definitely have snatched it away when we got back.

And that young master Liao who didn't end up together due to unforeseen circumstances—if I hadn't seized the opportunity first, hmph~

Since Huai Sheng has already made it clear that he's engaged, Liao Gongzi's intentions are obvious!

Huai Sheng couldn't see it, but he, being a man himself, could see it clearly.

After listening to Qianyan recount her experiences over the years in a evasive manner, Huaisheng hugged her with heartache.

Qianyan was stunned for a moment, then immediately hugged Huaisheng tightly.

After a while, Huai Sheng's eyes were red, and he took the initiative to put his hand in Qian Yan's hand.

"Don't worry, I'll stand by you through thick and thin from now on."

The two of them stood in the garden, holding hands and gazing at each other for a long time, until Huai Sheng became a little shy, turned his face away, and withdrew one hand. The two then walked hand in hand back to the main courtyard.

Seeing that the main courtyard where he had slept the previous night was probably where Qianyan usually lived, Huaisheng said:

"I arrived in a hurry yesterday, but the side room is ready today, so I'll stay there."

"In our family, whether it's the south side or the north side, you will naturally live in the main room."

Since you agreed to our arrangement, everyone in our household knows that you are the 'head of the family' of this 'young master'~

"What... what are you talking about all day long?"

Let's go to the study and read for a while. I read a travelogue a while ago, but there are a few words I don't quite understand.

Come on, go take a look!

The two then went to the study to read, and Qianyan provided annotations and explanations for Huaisheng, who listened attentively.

The speaker, however, only had half his mind on the book.

Cui Qianyan: A beautiful woman listening attentively under the lamplight is even more captivating!

The next day, Huai Sheng didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky, and Qian Yan went to work.

Qingyun served Huaisheng some breakfast, accompanied her for a stroll, and told her about the local customs and culture of the capital.

When they returned to the main courtyard, Qingtian stood at the study doorway carrying a stack of account books, smiling as she said:

"Miss, these are the accounts and matters to be handled from yesterday and the day before. Please review them and I will make the necessary arrangements."

Huai Sheng was completely bewildered: He had never taken the shop's accounts with him when he went out before!

Qingtian smiled and explained:

"Since you've decided to come, then the south is your home too~"

"Regarding the family business here, we'll ask whoever is in charge, you or the young master. We need to decide before we can make any arrangements."

Qingyun half-pushed Huaisheng to the study, where the two began to explain the family business in the south to her:

Two iron mines, two copper mines, one gold mine, and one silver mine.

The Cui family used to own an iron mine and a copper mine, and the southern region was generally prosperous.

When the Regent sacrificed the Cui family, he also considered that their economic strength was not as good as other supporters, and that Qingtianwang could be rebuilt.

The Cui family was also very loyal to the country, and they would not complain even if it was said that they might be sacrificed as pawns.

After returning, Qianyan secretly consolidated her position and then rapidly developed her current strength.

Mu Huaisheng: Do the most brilliant minds also find it so easy to make money?

Huai Sheng looked through the accounts and found them clear. After considering the several matters to be handled, Huai Sheng offered his suggestions.

"Um... This is the first time I've handled something like this. See if you have anything to add."

"Young Master knew the young lady would prioritize reinforcing the mine, and sure enough, she did!"

"You two naughty girls, didn't you say Qianyan wasn't dealt with?"

“It really wasn’t dealt with. When the young master was having breakfast this morning, I told him a couple of things, and he got impatient.”

The young master said: "Since the head of the family has arrived, we can ask her when Huaisheng wakes up."

As the young master finished his meal and left, he said with a grin:

Huai Sheng will definitely prioritize the second matter.

Then the young master went to his duty.

After Qingtian finished speaking, he went to write a message. After writing it, he showed it to Huaisheng and then called Tianjin to send the message by carrier pigeon to various places.

Huai Sheng asked curiously:

"Are the people in charge of the Heavenly Department skilled at raising carrier pigeons?"

"Yes, all of them have excellent lightness skills. They can hardly use high walls for leverage. There are three women inside."

They usually lead their respective groups to handle matters related to sending messages by carrier pigeon from various places, and take turns coming to the main courtyard to report.

The people of the Earthly Division are strong and robust, and there is also a remarkable woman among them.

They are very familiar with the geography of each country and usually lead their respective groups to protect the mines.

Xuanbu, young lady, I've met you. Your martial arts are quite good; you're part of the guard.

The Huang family consists of extraordinary individuals.

The Golden Team is a master of feng shui.

Huang Mu's team studies celestial phenomena.

The Yellow Water Team studies various water qualities, tides, etc.

The Yellow Fire Team can make all sorts of strange objects out of wood.

The Loess Team studied metallurgy and iron smelting.

The young master had already told everyone that the young lady was the head of the family, but she had been living in the north for a long time.

So, nobody knows what the girl looks like, but everyone knows her name is "~".
