The head of the Mu family

Chapter 183 Mu Su's Wedding

"Oh dear~ Madam Cai said that Miss Liu looks just like the two ladies back then."

He actually took a liking to Mu Su! If this works out, we'll have such a beauty to look at every day!

Tsk tsk~ Just thinking about it makes me happy!

You!

Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the one who married her.

Seeing her so happy, just like when she was getting married, Qianyan shook her head helplessly.

"Don't go tell Mu Su, I'll talk to him instead."

"Okay~ I'll listen to my husband!"

Actually, I came to you hoping you would speak to me.

The main issue is that Mu Su had a long-standing misunderstanding when she was little...

"Um, the chores you'll be doing at our house."

"I know I need your help, but I'm more vigilant than you are when it comes to these things."

That evening, Qianyan went to check their homework and called Musu out.

"Mu Su, your family head has arranged a marriage for you today."

"what?!"

Mu Su felt a mix of emotions after hearing this. It was something she had expected, but she still felt a pang of sadness.

Shallow words, yet secretly harboring resentment:

If only everyone were like Mu Xu, so simple and straightforward, family is family.

He had no ulterior motives and was wholeheartedly devoted to living his life with Qingchen.

In the autumn, they happily arranged his and Qingchen's wedding.

Sigh~ Reading too many books makes you have too many ideas~

"You know Huai Sheng, she has always valued you highly."

This time, it's the sixth young lady of Lord Liu's family, who is also a censor.

Even disregarding his family background, his character and appearance were among the best in the entire Ye.

With such a family by your side, you should be able to return home to reunite with your family after only a few years of being sent to serve as an official in a remote area.

Huai Sheng has taken care of you. If you want to leave the Mu family after you get married, you can buy your own place and live independently.

We naturally feel that since we are all family, it's better to stay at home.

If you wish, after you are assigned to a post outside the city, Huaisheng and I will prepare everything for you in the garden.

Of course, it also depends on your own wishes.

"I am a member of the Mu family, and I always will be!"

"Alright, then I'll have Huaisheng arrange a date for the meeting."

If it works out, I'll prepare a courtyard for you.

Mu Su: Why is the conversation getting a little off-track?

"My current courtyard is the largest one besides the main courtyard."

That's all~

"Okay, I understand. It needs to be repaired too. You should go back and study first!"

Mu Su returned home feeling somewhat uneasy, unable to concentrate on reading another word.

Qianyan spoke to Huaisheng, and Huaisheng delivered the message to the two ladies the next day.

The two ladies sent a message:

Two days later, we went to the Duke's Mansion to admire the lotus flowers.

On that day, Huai Shengqian took the child and went with Mu Su.

Qi Luan invited Qian Yan and Mu Su to play chess. The two ladies brought their children, and the young lady and her family also came.

They greeted each other and exchanged a few pleasantries.

The Qi family's children were very fond of Huaizhi and Huailian, so they went to play together.

When Huai Sheng looked at Miss Liu, he realized that although she was not as famous as the two ladies in the capital back then.

However, she is now on par with Wanxing and Qingxue back in the day.

Her speech and manners were both poised and charming, yet retaining a touch of girlish grace.

After lunch, they went to the garden to admire the lotus flowers and met each other in the pavilion.

Miss Liu looked at it shyly again and again, and was very satisfied.

Huai Sheng: Mu Su's face is indeed attractive to young girls.

Mu Su glanced at Huai Sheng's beaming face, and then at the beautiful Miss Liu.

He thought to himself:

She really went to great lengths to find such a wonderful woman!

Even a younger brother wouldn't be this good, would he?

That's enough! That's enough!

After a few more casual words, both sides were even more satisfied.

Huai Sheng pulled Mu Sula aside and asked:

"How about it? Isn't she a rare find, even with a lantern?"

"Yes, I'm satisfied."

"It's entirely up to the head of the family to decide!"

"Mu Su, I have something to say to you:"

Men of the Mu family are forbidden from taking concubines after marriage.

If you change your mind in the future, just let me know, and I will remove your name from the family genealogy.

"Hmm~ I've never thought about taking a concubine. I haven't forgotten what you've been telling us all this time!"

"You little rascal, you've got a sharp tongue now!"

Huai Sheng then told Madam Liu that he was 'satisfied,' and everyone dispersed, satisfied.

The next day, Huaisheng went to the Liu residence to deliver a betrothal letter, and after consulting the horoscopes, presented the betrothal gifts.

When Huai Sheng took Mu Su to present the betrothal gifts, he told the Liu family about the Mu family's rule that men do not take concubines.

The Liu family had no more worries and were extremely satisfied.

Because Mu Su was about to take up his post, Lord Liu and Madam Liu discussed and proposed:

"Why not hold a wedding ceremony so that the young couple can go to their posts together?"

"But wouldn't that be too unfair to Miss Liu?"

Is this a case of acting expediently out of necessity?

I have faith in the Mu family's traditions, and I believe in the noble character of Mr. and Mrs. Cui!

"In that case, we'll go back today and make preparations, trying our best not to cause Miss any inconvenience."

Fortunately, they had prepared quite a few things in advance for Qingchen and Muxu's wedding.

That way, we can prioritize Mu Su's side first, and then get another copy for the other side.

Seven days later, the wedding was held in a lively and festive manner.

Over the years, Mu Su has accumulated considerable wealth and received rewards and stipends after passing the imperial examinations.

Like the other unmarried members of the Mu family, Huai Sheng manages everything on a daily basis, as long as they are willing.

The day after their wedding, the newlyweds served tea with beaming smiles in the morning, and Huaisheng gave them the account book and keys.

Because the young couple went to their new posts together, they entrusted the matter to Huaisheng.

"You must keep the account books and deeds yourselves."

When you go to Gufeng, write back often.

The weather there is harsh and cold, unlike Yedu. Mu Su, you must take even better care of Ni'er~

"Thank you so much, sister!"

Don't worry, I know.

I will definitely take good care of Ni'er~

The young couple went to their new posts the next day, and the Liu family came to see them off. Seeing their daughter's happy face, they were relieved.

After seeing the young couple off, Huaisheng took Qianyan to a pleasure boat on the lake to celebrate her birthday again.

Huai Sheng used very little red fabric to make a special outfit.

When I went to the pleasure boat in the evening, I simply put on a black cloak.

Qianyan, unusually smiling, gave everyone a heads-up in advance:

"Today, Huaisheng celebrated my birthday. You may all go and rest. There's no need to keep anyone here."

"Settle Huaizhi and Huailian as soon as possible."

Knowing that the couple wanted to talk alone late at night, everyone smiled jokingly and went about their business.

After taking a bath, Qianyan couldn't wait to cross the garden and go to the painted boat.

Stepping onto the painted boat, the vessel rocked slightly, and a coquettish voice immediately rang out:

"Whose young master is this? How dare he be so rude!"

With a broad smile, Qianyan lifted the curtain and went inside.

Under the lamplight, a beautiful woman gestured for him to look to his left, where a cloth strip was tied to a hook on the bulkhead.

The beauty's eyes were alluring:

"Young master, it's your birthday! Unwrap your birthday gift!"

Qianyan took the cloth button and gently tugged it.

Huai Sheng's black cloak suddenly fell into the cabin.

A few strips of red cloth draped over her unusually shapely, smooth body.

Every place that should have been covered was not covered!

"This servant will give to the young master... um... um..."

*Play... Ugh... Ugh...*

"No... nothing compares to my wife's..."

The phoenix's cry... is even more... beautiful... than before...

Whenever Huaisheng wanted to rest, these clothes that didn't need to be removed always shattered his hopes.
