The head of the Mu family

Chapter 115 Granted the Right to Attend the Palace Banquet

Mu Huaisheng immediately realized what he had said and slapped his own mouth.

Seeing her like that, the old man couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Golden waist badge, golden waist badge~"

"Miss Mu, have you heard of this?"

"Your Excellency is too kind. I was just overwhelmed by Your Excellency's grace and became flustered, which caused me to lose my composure."

"It's alright~ It's alright~"

Now that the imperial decree has been delivered, we will depart.

Our family still has to go to other homes to deliver imperial edicts~

Mu Huaisheng subconsciously started patting his body again for silver, but naturally he couldn't find any.

The old man couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

He turned and walked away with a smile, and Mu Huaisheng quickly followed to see him off.

Upon reaching the hanging flower gate, Qingyue bowed and held the purse above her head with both hands.

With his head bowed, he caught a glimpse of someone approaching out of the corner of his eye, and immediately knelt down, saying respectfully:

Please accept this, Father-in-law.

The old man couldn't help but smile and took the purse.

Turning his head, he smiled at Mu Huaisheng, who had come to see him off:

"Miss Mu searched for her purse twice, and it turns out she lost it here!"

"Hehe~ Please excuse my poor attempt, Father-in-law. Please accept this as a token of your appreciation."

Upon hearing this, the old man smiled, took the purse, and left.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as Qingtian emerged from the South Study next door.

Qingtian rushed over and helped Huaisheng, whose legs were a little weak, while Qingyue collapsed onto the bluestone road.

A little while later, Grandpa Huang slowly walked back.

When the group saw Grandpa Huang return, they finally came to their senses and helped each other back to the shop.

"Miss Sunny, could you please teach us some manners in the future?"

Qingyue walked and paused for a while before speaking.

Why be so unorthodox?

That's just a matter of a few words!

"So that's why Qingyue was so quick-witted just now, it turns out Qingtian taught her!"

Even though you'll probably never use it in the future, it's always good to learn it.

While the group chatted idly, they arrived at the shop.

There were a few customers in the shop, while the others were busy cleaning and tidying up.

Huaisheng and Qingyue sat behind the counter, watching others work for a while before finally catching their breath.

After cleaning up at noon, we ate the reunion dinner that Wang Niangzi and Aunt Wu had worked on together.

As usual, Mu Huaisheng distributed reward money to everyone, and after that, he gave each person a tael of silver as a reward.

The crowd was puzzled.

Mu Huaisheng took out a gold waist tag from his pocket, which was not visible.

Everyone was a little excited, and no one dared to touch it with their hands.

After giving extra rewards to the few people guarding the warehouse, Huai Sheng and everyone happily went home for the New Year.

As soon as everyone returned home, Madam Lan's personal maid, Hongcan, was waiting for them in the outer courtyard with a servant.

He bowed to Huai Sheng and said:

"Miss Mu, my mistress asked me to deliver this."

The lady instructed:

She and my family are also going to a banquet tonight, and she will come to pick you up to go together.

You only need to bring one maid.

Huai Sheng took a look and saw that it was an ordinary set of clothes, but the color was similar to that of the physician's official robes, and it also had a belt.

"Thank you so much, sister-in-law! I was at my wit's end!"

I am deeply grateful for the thoughtfulness of Brother Lan and his wife.

The lady also instructed me to stay and help the young lady bathe and change, and to comb her hair.

Huai Sheng did not refuse:

"In that case, I'll trouble Miss Red Ginseng."

As he ushered the person inside, he gave Qingyue a wink.

Qingtian immediately pulled Qingyue into the inner courtyard.

As the group of women arrived at the main courtyard gate, they saw Qingyue emerge with a smile.

He walked up to the head maid of the Lan family, took out a gold ring, and said:

"Thank you so much, Sister Red Ginseng!"

When my sister is combing her hair, we'll help her out too!

"Okay~ I'll tell you all about it while I comb your hair~"

The head maid replied with a smile.

Inside, the room was heated by an underfloor heating system.

Qingxing and Wang Niangzi quickly prepared the water, and Qingxing and Qingtian helped Mu Huaisheng bathe and change his clothes.

After drying her hair, Hongshen began to style it.

The hair was combed out, similar to a man's crown.

However, it has more elaborate designs, and it is clearly a woman's hairstyle.

Normally, when men wear crowns, Hongshen secures them with a beautiful gold hairband and inserts an elegant gold hairpin.

Then, when it was time to put makeup on Huaisheng, it was discovered that Huaisheng didn't have a makeup box.

"Miss Mu~ you...."

"Hehehe~ I don't usually need it."

"Qingyue, can I borrow yours for a moment?"

"Girl, please use mine~"

As Qingtian spoke, she turned and went back to her room to get it.

A moment later, she brought over an exquisite vanity box.

Upon opening it, everyone was shocked:

This box belongs to a young lady from a wealthy family!

"I haven't used any of these yet~"

He then took out a bunch of bottles and jars, opened them, and placed them on the table.

Mu Huaisheng was speechless:

When it comes to refinement, girls from the South are indeed much more refined.

Many years ago, I was a bit of a perfectionist too~

Hey!

"Just take what you've used; don't waste it."

"You flatter me, young lady. This was prepared by the young master."

He said that if the girl wanted to dress up during the holidays, and if she didn't need it, she could use it after the New Year.

There's no need to go anymore~

"Oh dear~ Qianyan, she always reports that she's safe and sound in her letters, I wonder how she's doing~"

After the makeup was done, everyone exclaimed that she looked beautiful. Qingxing said:

"I usually just think that Sister Wanxing is a beauty."

Today, the head of the family changed into women's clothing, and she's quite the beauty!

Mu Huaisheng took a look and saw that she was originally three or four points of beauty, but Hongshen was so skillful that she made her seven or eight points of beauty.

In addition, this uniform-style everyday wear, which resembles an official's robe, is somewhat more beautiful than some other styles.

"No! Red Ginseng Girl~"

Please change my makeup!

No need for powder, just lightly draw your eyebrows and eyes.

Your complexion is already great, so you don't need to wear lip rouge~

Everyone was puzzled, but Qing Tian quickly understood and replied:

"Girl, take a rest, I'll do it~"

It wasn't that the girl's makeup was bad, it was actually too good!

Our young lady Yunying is unmarried, and this time she's going to and from the palace. Her makeup being too elaborate might not be a good thing.

Everyone immediately understood, and Qingyue quickly brought over water and washed her face.

As Huai Sheng suggested, he slightly adjusted his eyebrows and eyes, making him look somewhat heroic.

Just as I finished tidying up, Niu Niu came to report:

"Master, Grandpa Huang said that Lord Lan and Madam Lan have arrived at the door."

Hongshen quickly tied the waist tag to Huaisheng's belt.

On the other side, Qingtian took a piece of high-quality jade pendant and hung it up.

"Tsk tsk~ Look at my outfit."

Give me another fan, and when I come back, I'll bring you back a young lady, no matter what!"

Huai Sheng shook his head and joked.

Everyone laughed and urged her to leave, but just before she exited through the hanging flower gate, they turned back and gave her instructions:

"Eat something nice tonight, and remember to set off fireworks!"

After saying that, Hongshen and Qingyue pulled her away, and Huaisheng got into the carriage of the Blue Medicine God and Madam Blue.

Madam Lan was surprised to see her and said:

"I'm not?"

He immediately realized it.

"It's better this way~"

After saying that, he took her hand and started chatting about everyday things.

Hongcan and Qingyue got into the small carriage behind them. Along the way, Hongcan said to Qingyue:

"We can't get into the palace. We'll go to the Lan residence for a while later."

You've been there a few times already. After we've had our meal, we'll wait at the palace gate.

Qingyue readily agreed, and soon the carriage arrived at the palace gate.

Everyone got off their carriages and went inside one after another.
