The head of the Mu family

Chapter 74 Another person joins the Mu family; the woman must become a cat.

There was a lady who was waiting in line and wanted to get both items.

The store did not agree.

The two ladies at the top of the line were overjoyed and declared that those behind them should stop queuing.

Evening Star, exuding confidence and politeness, said:

"Our shop operates according to its own rules!"

All the ladies went to inquire, but none of them knew the owner of the shop.

There's no way to get in through the back door.

Many of the ladies were knowledgeable enough to recognize that the plaques hanging at the entrance and the calligraphy displayed inside were imperial gifts.

Although the people in the store never talk about the salary or benefits.

However, once they had money, their behavior, speech, and clothing changed noticeably.

Other shops in the same industry, seeing this, would inevitably have some guesses.

However, this shop is not hiring!

From the perspective of large stores, the scale is not bad.

However, only a few pieces of expensive jewelry were made each year, and there was even an imperial plaque at the entrance.

All talk and no action; the reputation is there, but without substantial follow-up orders, it's all for naught, a waste of the signboard at the entrance.

In October, we paid everyone an extra month's wages. Everyone worked hard during the busy September.

The poems and paintings copied by Qi Luan were also framed and hung on the second floor.

An old wintersweet tree in the mountains is blooming in the cold, and a deer is resting under the tree.

The following is an excerpt from the poem "White Hair on Fragrant Plum Mountain" in the upper right corner:

Mountain birds display their carefree demeanor, while plum blossoms gently sway in the breeze.

We've already made a pact, a promise to grow old together.

Although it lacked a signature and seal, it still attracted a lot of attention from ladies and young women.

Every day when Mu Huaisheng saw Qi Luan, his heart was filled with money, and he had no more resentment.

Huai Sheng invested another 40,000 taels into the shop to prepare goods for the New Year.

I gave the two gentlemen the three blueprints from before the New Year.

Two thousand taels of silver were spent on creating three flagship stores for the year-end: 'Xuanmeng', 'Xuancai', and 'Xuanning'.

When Lady Liu received the silver notes after selling "Yuenong", her hands trembled so much she could barely hold them, and she was speechless.

Just keep saying extra food! Extra food!

Qin Niangzi was not very happy about the extra meals Feng Niangzi had provided for half a month.

Wanxing gave her more training.

Because among those waiting in line, the first person in line was the lady she was greeting.

Other women who had sold the store's signature items also helped her explain them, and things gradually got better.

On October 8th, the two ladies, as expected, couldn't wait and came to take the 'New Moon' and 'Full Moon' home.

Wanxing sold one, and Qin Niangzi got what she wanted.

Another Fan Jin has passed the imperial examination!

In November, Qin Niangzi received her monthly allowance and was also given an extra twenty days of meals.

Wanxing said he was in charge and would receive an extra meal for a month.

Zhou Li and Da Mao got married on the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month this year, so they had to go back to Panlong before the Lunar New Year.

I must return to Yedu immediately next year; Lan Yaoshen will get married on the eighth day of the second lunar month.

It is said that some people are willing to pay more money to buy the store's prized possession.

However, those who buy the store's prized possessions are never short of money.

Many people want it even more now, and some who already own one want to own more.

Mu Huaisheng was overjoyed to be making money and was wondering whether he should expand his business further.

Expanding too much will attract attention, but it lacks a solid foundation.

When you go to a place, there are always century-old shops that you can't find anywhere else. The shops are neither too big nor too small, but they are always doing great business.

Try to think positively, just work hard, and you can make your shop into this kind of business.

When you do the math, the income is surprisingly good.

My best friend got pregnant in October; she was pregnant in September.

It had been more than a month since the discovery.

With a determined look in her eyes, the woman holding Mu Huaisheng's hand was filled with anticipation for the future.

When the pregnancy was discovered, Mu Huaisheng was given double the monthly allowance that same month.

After lunch that day, the soldiers were being rather awkward, as if they had something to say to Mu Huaisheng.

Mu Huaisheng remained silent and waited.

Finally, Brother Wu came and bowed:

"Master, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"Brother Wu, you're such a grown man, why are you being so hesitant?"

Speak your mind!

"us...

Many of our brothers are gone, and many of their wives have run away, but what about their children...?

Yes, don't worry, the children are all whole.

That's right, they're just a bit younger~

Before, my brother and I barely managed to get jobs together.

When everyone was starving to death, they met the head of the family.

There are three children, aged six, eight, and nine, one boy and two girls.

Didn't you say last time that you wanted to buy rough servants?

Although they are young, they can do everything!

Don't you have any servants?

There's a boy here; he'd be perfect to be your servant!

Before we encountered the head of the family, even if we fought desperately, we never betrayed them.

Now I'd like to ask the head of the family, is it possible to buy them?

Upon hearing this, Mu Huaisheng said:

Hey, it's no big deal.

With a quick glance, she thought for a moment:

Try to cheer them up; they're usually too stressed.

"Me? A servant? I don't want a servant!"

"Those two girls are fine as maids!"

She's quite diligent in cleaning the house, boiling water and cooking, and serving tea and water at the shop.

"Master, if absolutely necessary, one!"

"Hehe~ Just kidding, any three are fine."

However, I can't just buy things for anyone because they seem pitiful in the future.

"This time, I'll give you face. How much silver?"

"Twenty taels for a child!"

Or, fifteen taels for a child.

We don't want the money from selling them into servitude; we'll save it all for when they grow up.

"Okay, twenty taels each."

When you have time, have them come and sign the indenture, and move their belongings back to their place to live.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!

The next day, three children arrived, including an eight-year-old boy named Aping, who was renamed Ping An.

The two girls had similar names; the girl changed her name to Qingxing at age six and to Qingyue at age nine.

The children were overjoyed to have decent names.

Normally, I help out in the shop by serving tea and water, and I do whatever chores are available.

The monthly salary is two hundred. If Mu Huaisheng goes back, the two girls will work as maids.

Let Wanxing train them, and in the evening, except for the two guarding the warehouse, they all went back to the Mu residence together.

November arrived in the blink of an eye, and we received an extra half-month's wages in October.

Qin Niangzi's eyes disappeared with laughter as she held the silver note, looking at it again and again!

As expected, Brother Wu and his group bought two retired warhorses.

It doesn't look that good, but Brother Wu patted his chest and said:

"Master, they're very clever; they'll definitely run well."

"Okay, okay, I believe you!"

Let's keep them then~

They also bought a set of horse-drawn carriage equipment, which they didn't usually need, but occasionally used the horse to go out and buy things.

They lived too close to the shop; it was more lively walking together.

Since becoming pregnant, Shoupa Jiao has stopped taking the contraceptive soup that her two aunts had given her.

The prince, on the contrary, often came to keep her company.

My close friend was filled with emotion:

She had always been devoted to the Crown Prince, but as a result, she ended up with a lot of illness.

Now I often push him to my aunt's place, but he comes here often on his own.

I'd rather just sleep with myself in my arms.

The author says:

This is just my personal opinion!

Women should learn to be like cats, keeping themselves looking shiny and healthy every day.

Then learn to be subtly manipulative towards men.

If you're happy, give a man a smile; if you're unhappy, scratch him or ignore him.

However, many girls in life learn the loyalty of a dog when they meet someone they like.

Think about dogs, they are indeed very loyal; if their owner tells them to go east, they will never go west.

But look online, men are seen spending time with dogs and cats.

Dog: They're all just showing off how well they've trained their dogs to be obedient.

Cats: People who own cats often call themselves cat slaves.

Various people are showing off the scratches they got from their cats, complaining about how disobedient their cats are.

Occasionally, the cat would snuggle into his arms, and the man would laugh like a dog.
