The head of the Mu family

Chapter 65 Earning Money to Improve Corporate Image

"Lord Yuanzheng~

Today, could we take a walk from Luming Academy?

Just stop over there for a moment~

"Okay~"

After saying that, he knocked on the carriage frame and gave the order:

"Take the road from Luming Academy!"

You were all smiles when you got on the bus this morning, just because you wanted to take the detour to Luming Academy.

"What brings you over there?"

Mu Huaisheng then respectfully explained the reason:

“There is a child who has helped me a lot, and I want to repay him.”

He had a talent for studying, so I sent him to an academy.

"I'm just going to pay the tuition and miscellaneous fees in a bit."

After hearing this, Ruan Yuanzheng said no more and told Mu Huaisheng to go over there and take care of the tuition and meal expenses.

Upon arriving at the Imperial Medical Academy, Huai Sheng sighed and rubbed his forehead.

The latest episodes of Blue Medicine God are simply unwatchable!

This isn't spring, is it?

The splash screen is getting a bit annoying, ugh~

Before they could exchange more than a few words, they began talking about Caiwei.

Mu Huaisheng sighed inwardly:

I'm going to lose this friend...

It's been quite a while!

In the afternoon, someone from the Marquis's residence announced that Third Master Qi had arrived.

The old Marquis went to receive them and said he had brought an imperial edict.

The whole family knelt down to receive him.

The oral decree was:

The Marquis's family was commended for their good deeds, even after their two children went to the battlefield.

The Marquis's two children were each given a jade ruyi as a reward.

In addition, the young doctor who made the consultation was given four characters and a plaque.

Once the characters are given out and the plaque is ready, it's natural to burn incense and set off firecrackers.

The people of the Marquis's residence expressed their gratitude!

Mu Huaisheng felt a little regretful:

A jade ruyi bestowed by the emperor?

I regret saying those four words; who knew there would only be four words.

Imperial order to make a jade ruyi!

Who wouldn't want that?!

Master Qi then said politely:

"My father was very envious; the old Marquis had another great grandson."

When I saw her at the full moon, she was already as healthy as many babies around two months old.

He then planned to wait until after the cold winter months, in March, to invite Doctor Mu to the Duke's mansion to treat the Crown Princess.

The old Duke naturally respected the noblewoman's opinion, and the noblewoman smiled and said after hearing it:

"That's no problem at all. I also hope that Qingwu can have another son!"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, he said to Mu Huaisheng as he left:

"Xiao Huaisheng, the name bestowed by the emperor, should be framed."

"Ordinary local prostitutes are no good; ruining them can cost you your head. Do you need my help?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Huaisheng knew there was no reason not to accept it.

They hurriedly handed the calligraphy and painting bucket back to Qi Luan, who smiled, said goodbye to everyone, and left.

Two days later, Pingbo told Mu Huaisheng that the house matter was settled and that he only needed to go to the government office to complete the formalities after lunch!

Mu Huaisheng greeted the noblewoman and then took the silver notes and went with Uncle Ping.

Mu Huaisheng brought 3,500 taels of silver, and gave 1,000 taels for the house!

This time, Huai Sheng was stunned!

Even after completing the formalities, Mu Huaisheng was still somewhat incredulous.

I quickly realized that it must have been Uncle Ping who had helped me a lot!

"Uncle Ping, is that you?"

This... what am I supposed to do?

"It was just a matter of saving face, but thankfully I don't do it easily, so at least I haven't let down your sincere feelings for them!"

Mu Huaisheng felt somewhat guilty:

While there was no pretense, it's hard to say if there was any genuine sincerity involved.

It turned out that Pingbo had used his connections.

When seeking connections, they publicized their act of taking in the elderly, weak, and disabled soldiers in a way that was incredibly moving.

People in this era are more easily moved by these kinds of things.

After discussing it, the group went through the proper procedures and got a dilapidated old house. It did meet the age requirement, but it wasn't actually dilapidated.

"Uncle Ping, I'll have to trouble you to find someone to renovate the house."

"Even if you hadn't come to me, I would have taken on this for you."

The ownership of the dilapidated house is questionable.

I can't cause them any trouble, so I need to renovate the house as soon as possible.

"You confirmed the purchase a few days ago, and I've already made the arrangements. Construction will begin tomorrow!"

"Thank you so much! This time you didn't let my brother take a cut, so I'll give you two hundred taels first. If you need more, just ask me!"

"That house doesn't need two hundred taels!"

I won't stand on ceremony in this regard; giving me a hundred taels would be more than enough.

"Besides renovating the house, we'll also renovate the furniture."

Could you please find someone to help me clean up and get some bedding and other necessities?

Besides, since you helped us this time, we should treat our friends to a meal.

If you don't accept it, we still have a long way to go.

I'll be too embarrassed to ask you for help in the future.

Please accept this; I'll need your help a lot in the future~

Seeing that Pingbo had said that, he did not refuse any further.

During the Spring Festival, in addition to his work at the Marquis's residence, Mu Huaisheng racked his brains every day to come up with flower patterns.

I don't know if it's because I've been drawing a lot, but I've gradually become less troubled.

When Mr. Tong came to work, Mu Huaisheng brought two new floral patterns that were the store's prized possessions.

After discussing the production schedule with Master Tong, we decided to finish one piece before the end of March, and named it "Competing for Beauty".

There's also a 'Lianguang' (潋光) piece. After the 'Zhengyan' (争艳) piece was finished, we started working on the 'Lianguang' (潋光) piece. The patterns were collected into the warehouse every day along with the other items.

This time, 15,000 taels of silver were invested, with 8,000 taels used for initial stock and 7,000 taels used to make two prized possessions for the store.

With spring just around the corner, and in response to the theme of a spring banquet, elements of flowers have been incorporated into the store's signature dish.

Once everything is finalized, we'll start advertising whenever someone in the store asks.

Other colleagues also came to ask, but they only got a name and only had one item.

Then no one from the industry came to ask anymore.

In February, Mu Huaisheng distributed a month's wages and commissions, and then started having the store staff take turns resting every ten days.

Just one thing: when Xiao Qianyan takes a break, Wanxing should also take a break.

Everyone in the store was astonished:

Another day off? You took so many days off during the first month of the lunar year!

We won't stop, we're going to make money!

Hey boss, why don't you take a look at the other places? They're not taking a break at all!

Four burly men came looking for Mu Huaisheng, pulled her aside, and spoke first to the one-eyed Brother Wu:

"Young master, are you being too kind-hearted and have you been deceived by your servants?"

Mu Huaisheng was completely bewildered.

“Young master, all the workers in the shop have signed contracts with you, and you have the right to kill or beat them.”

"We've signed a contract of servitude; we're your possessions for life."

"That's what Uncle Mo, who has a slight limp, said."

"We're here!"

Putting aside everything else, even though he's crippled, dealing with a few wicked servants is no problem for him, and the martial arts master is even more capable!

We are all your servants; you give the order, and we'd gladly give our lives!

Brother Liu said, and Uncle Li nodded in agreement.

"Brother Wu, Brother Liu, and Uncles, I know you mean well."

Don't worry, no one is lying to me!

You've been here for so many days, have you seen anyone who has been disrespectful to me?

These rules in the store were established after I took over the business.

After you've spent more time together, ask them if any of them are willing to redeem themselves and go home.

Finally, removing the word "small," I am the head of the family, and there is no one else~

Mu Huaisheng: Ah~ Regardless of the size of the family, you're at least the head of the household now~

The four people looked at each other, and after thinking about it carefully, they realized it was true.

Mu Huaisheng then arranged work clothes for the four people.

The four main men, all of whom were disabled, looked out of place wearing the same work smocks as Ah Jin.

Huai Sheng discussed with Wan Xing and suggested that they make work uniforms in the same color scheme, but in the style of military uniforms.

Have the women in the shop embroider the shop's name on the clothes.

I also made two new work uniforms for Wanxing, the same style, but made of silk.

The four veterans cleaned themselves up and looked presentable in their new clothes.

Even when not moving, standing straight, he exudes the heroic air of a soldier.

Everyone felt a sense of regret:

If Brother Wu hadn't injured one eye, he would be so dashing!

Not to mention Wanxing, who wore her work clothes like a proper lady.

Sure enough, the beauty effect is amazing!
