The head of the Mu family

Chapter 79 Returning from Vacation to Continue Starting a Business

As they were talking, Wanxing came in carrying water.

Xiao Qianyan took great care of Mu Huaisheng.

Mu Huaisheng smiled helplessly:

"At your age, it's good enough if you take good care of yourself."

You don't need to take care of me~

"I just wanted you to know that I can take care of you."

"I know, I knew it a few years ago in Panlong~"

After Huaisheng finished washing up, Wanxing helped Xiaoqianyan wash up as well.

The room's underfloor heating came on, and Mu Huaisheng lay on his bed, falling asleep peacefully.

The next day, when I got up, the sun was already high in the sky.

Only Xiao Qingxing was there, and Xiao Qianyan went to school; everyone else went to the shop.

Seeing that Mu Huaisheng had gotten up, the little boy quickly brought water to wash up, and Mu Huaisheng quickly reached out to take it.

"Master, although I am young, I can do it!"

"I know you can do it, but the patriarch wants to do it himself."

He pinched the little baby's cheek as he spoke.

After washing up, the little girl brought over a bowl of water.

Mu Huaisheng had a habit of drinking a bowl of water first thing in the morning, and then going to get some pastries.

Mu Huaisheng tasted it; it was Wanxing's cooking.

Delicious food! It fills me with happiness!

After finishing my meal, I went to the outhouse to use the toilet.

I came out to greet the sunlight and stretched at the entrance of the courtyard.

It's so much more comfortable at home!

I went to my desk to continue drawing, and suddenly I had a flash of inspiration.

I looked at the three pictures on the table, and they were not up to my skill level.

But with some modifications, it becomes incredibly ingenious and beautiful.

Mu Huaisheng was overjoyed:

You've really struck gold, but you can't rely on others; you have to have your own abilities to stand on your own two feet!

That did give me an idea.

You can let everyone in the shop try drawing it themselves.

Regardless of the size of the item, if it is accepted, one tael will be given for every five hundred taels.

Several people can also work together and split the reward equally.

Huai Sheng first drew out his inspiration and got two.

There's another one, which uses the name of a simple statement, but with some modifications.

When the child came to call him for lunch, Mu Huaisheng didn't even look up and told the child to eat by himself.

Keep the remaining two safe for future emergencies; by the time I look up again, the sun will be setting.

Hurry up and take the blueprints and Xiao Qingxing to the shop.

I delivered 'Taoyao', 'Xingjiao', and 'Mianmian' to the store and talked to the staff about the design and commission.

Everyone was a little confused, so Wanxing explained it again:

If everyone in the store contributes to designing a signature item, it would be a great deal!

"Also, I think business is a bit slow in the mornings."

From then on, Qingyue and the other children in the shop, as well as Niu Niu from Wang Niangzi's family, would learn to read with Uncle Li in the mornings.

The other people in the shop also had to learn to read from Wanxing and Uncle Dong.

The more characters you know, the more you'll have to talk about with ladies and young women.

Ah Jin and several other uncles also need to learn to read.

Wanxing, you should train Ajin. There are four uncles parking outside, which is quite good.

Ah Jin is clever; she'll be assigned to the shop from now on to serve male customers who come to buy jewelry for their wives.

His wages and commission were the same as the other women's.

Ah Jin was a little excited. He didn't know how much silver his wives and aunts had received, but he could see the changes in them.

If I work hard in the future, I might be able to earn the same amount as them.

Ajin immediately knelt down and kowtowed:

"Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!"

After dinner, we went back together and had another comfortable day.

On the 28th, Uncle Mo drove Mu Huaisheng to deliver the noblewoman's local products and signboard.

Mu Huaisheng reminisced with the noblewoman, and Mu Shuping and Bo Ping also reminisced.

When Pingbo saw Uncle Mo, he was like a completely different person.

He looked much younger, which filled me with even more emotion.

On the 29th, I had Brother Liu drive me to the Imperial Hospital for my shift.

At the palace gate, the local produce was given to Nguyen Yuan-cheng, and then directly loaded onto his carriage.

After a while, they saw the Blue Medicine God and moved the local products onto his carriage.

He went in with the Blue Medicine God and looked at the Blue Medicine God's face, which couldn't hide his smile.

He said jokingly:

"Blue Medicine God~ You're getting married in a few days, aren't you excited?"

"To be honest, I'm actually quite excited."

Lately, I feel energetic no matter what I do!

"No need to say anything, I can tell just by looking at your face."

"When treating the ladies, keep your excitement to yourself!"

Don't worry~

My older brother understands perfectly well!

"Mmm~ I'm glad you understand!"

At noon, only this unregular apprentice was on duty at the Imperial Medical Academy.

Stepping out of the palace gates and into the now-warm sunshine, I marveled at how hopeful life truly is.

Mu Huaisheng was skipping and hopping back.

"Little Huaisheng? You're back?"

A carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and the prince's face, the one that had broken the woman's heart, was revealed.

"Your Highness? Greetings, Your Highness."

I just got back and I'm planning to go find the Crown Princess to start work the day after tomorrow night~

"Get in the car, are we going to that shop again?"

"Alright~ Thank you, Your Highness~"

Mu Huaisheng got into the car, and Qi Luan was also there. He hadn't made a sound, so they thought it was just the young master alone.

"Greetings, Third Master Qi!"

"You're back?"

Was the trip successful?

"It went smoothly~ Thank you, Third Master!"

I also brought some local products for your family; I'll take them with me when I start work the day after tomorrow.

"Your Highness, are your wives and children well?"

"Qingwu is doing well~"

She feels uneasy when you're not around; she gets nervous easily.

"It's alright, I'm back. Don't be nervous, Princess Consort."

"Hmm~ I'll go back to the manor today and talk to her, so she can rest assured~"

The three chatted about everyday things, and before they knew it, they arrived at the shop, where Mu Huaisheng got out of the carriage.

After arriving at the Mu residence that evening, Mu Huaisheng said that he would not be home for the New Year and thanked everyone for their hard work.

Two taels of silver were given to each person living in the Mu residence.

They said it was a belated gift for the New Year, and they also gave Wang Niangzi's daughter two hundred coins.

Everyone was astonished:

I already posted it during the Chinese New Year~

Lady Wang whispered:

“Master, all the New Year's red envelopes have already been distributed while you were away.”

Everyone agreed, and Mu Huaisheng said with a smile:

"This wasn't issued by the shop."

This belongs to someone from our Mu family.

This was sent by me as the head of the family!

Everyone was having a hard time adjusting:

Is there really such a head of the family?

Another day passed, and Mu Huaisheng began packing his things, preparing to go and report to his confidante that evening.

In the morning, I brought my things to the shop. When I finished my shift, I waited for the Duke's carriage at the palace gate.

Tell them to stop at the shop entrance, and Wu Shishuai will bring out the items and a bunch of local products for her.

After taking the things, they went to the Duke's mansion.

When her best friend saw her, she was visibly relieved.

Mu Huaisheng gave her the local produce, took her pulse, and said she was fine.

And so began another orderly life in the Duke's mansion.

The next day, when I went to distribute wages to everyone, I told them they could take a break.

It went in one ear and out the other:

Let whoever wants to take a break take a break; I'm not taking one.

On the eighth day of the second lunar month, I went to attend the wedding banquet of the Blue Medicine God.

I gave him a pair of jade pendants, the kind that come together as a pair.

Blue Medicine God tapped her head:

"At least you still have a conscience, girl. If you ever need anything, just let me know."

"Don't worry, if I didn't send something so thoughtful, I'd still have to come to you if I needed anything."

When the series sold out in March, everyone gave Mu Huaisheng a sketch.

It was said that everyone brainstormed and came up with a design for the store's signature piece, but it still felt like something was missing.

For the next series, Mu Huaisheng only provided two drawings.

What's lacking, let them work together to fix it.

We just need to get it revised before the two masters make the third one.
