Mu Wanqing looked at him for a long time, which made him feel uneasy. Then she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "You are still in mourning."

Du Shaoxuan has only two dreams in his life. One is to lead the Du family army to guard the border and protect the people at the border. The other is to marry Mu Wanqing.

"Have a low-key engagement first, and then get married after the mourning period is over."

Looking at the eager man, Mu Wanqing's heart softened, "Okay."

Du Shaoxuan jumped up excitedly as if he heard heavenly music, "You agreed, you agreed, I will go and ask my uncle for marriage right now."

After finally waiting for Mu Wanqing to confess, he couldn't wait to finalize the marriage immediately and couldn't wait even a moment.

Mu Wanqing looked towards the bustling banquet area and said, "Tomorrow, today is not suitable."

Du Shaoxuan was a little disappointed, but he smiled very brightly and was very happy. "Okay, I'll do as you say."

He couldn't stay any longer and left in a hurry to prepare the betrothal gifts. He couldn't let his beloved woman down.

Mu Wanqing also wants to have what others have.

Mu Wanqing also wants to have what others don't have.

Mu Wanqing looked at the empty seat and couldn't help but chuckle. Although love is not a necessity, it is certainly better to have it.

A voice suddenly sounded, "Sister."

It was Mu Zicheng. When he came over, he saw Mu Wanqing's mouth corners slightly raised, and her whole aura softened, making her look more like her former sister.

Mu Wanqing greeted him with a smile, "Brother, why are you here? Come and sit down. Someone, go and get some of your favorite dishes."

Although there was a big banquet at home, she did not spend money lavishly. She only ordered a few of her favorite dishes, in small quantities but with a wide variety.

The maid cleared away the leftovers, replaced them with new bowls and chopsticks, and served a few steaming dishes.

Mu Zicheng is now a fifth-rank official and has some official authority, but compared with Mu Wanqing's bossy aura, it is still not enough.

In the past two days, Master Mu and his wife have been hanging around Mu Wanqing, and the clansmen are not to be outdone, and those little brats are also following Mu Wanqing.

Mu Zicheng had never had the chance to sit down and chat with his sister alone. He was very happy to finally have this opportunity. He kept calm and said, "Sister, where are you going next?"

Mu Wanqing casually picked up a piece of braised pork trotter with chopsticks and said, "I'll go to Xiliang for a tour and then return to the capital. Along the way, I saw that every household has planted kapok and worn cotton cloth. Brother, you have made an invaluable contribution."

She examined the situation in all aspects, with kapok, corn and potatoes being the top priorities, as these three items are related to the food and clothing of thousands of households.

Mu Zicheng felt very happy because he was praised by his sister.

He was a little embarrassed, "It's your good leadership and the result of everyone's concerted efforts."

Mu Wanqing raised her lips slightly, "Brother can also speak politely now."

Mu Zicheng built the Xiliang Kapok Promotion Office from scratch and achieved great results step by step. He put in a lot of effort and gained a lot of experience.

"It's all from the bottom of my heart. The more I experience over the years, the more I feel that I'm very lucky. I have a sister like you who taught me step by step and helped me plan my future. It's all thanks to you that I can get to where I am today."

His peers were still seventh-rank county officials, but he was already fifth-rank, several steps ahead of them.

Mu Wanqing was very pleased that her elder brother was a very pragmatic person and the key was to listen to her.

"If you can't help me, I can't help you. Fortunately, you didn't let me down."

The brother and sister talked a lot. Although they kept writing letters to each other over the years, many things could not be explained clearly in the letters.

"The promotion of Kapok has reached a certain peak in recent years, and the market is saturated. There is not much room for growth." Mu Wanqing took a sip of tea, her eyebrows curved, "Next, do you want to move?"

"Where do you want me to go?" Mu Zicheng knew very well that if he followed his sister, he would have meat to eat. Anyone could harm him, but his sister would not.

Mu Wanqing didn't play tricks with him. "I intend to set up a bank, which is an upgraded version of a money house. However, a money house is for individuals and its business is relatively simple. A bank is opened by the court. As long as the court does not fall, the bank will not go bankrupt, and its business scope is more diversified."

"It is used nationwide and has blossomed everywhere. It offers more flexible lending and more ways to make money. It is also the place where people can deposit money with the greatest confidence."

If we talk about which industry is the most profitable in today's society, it is undoubtedly the banking industry, which is a guaranteed profit.

"You are one of the best students in mathematics at Mu's Academy. You are qualified for the position of bank president, and you should be a fifth-rank official."

The fifth rank in the capital is half a level higher than that in the local areas, so it is a promotion.

Mu Zicheng nodded without hesitation, "I'll listen to you. I'll go wherever you tell me to go."

"Okay, don't worry, let's wait until I deal with those old stubborn people." Mu Wanqing already has a plan, but it still needs to be improved.

"Take your time, don't be anxious. I know you are in a difficult situation in the court, and many people are against you." Mu Zicheng has his own channels, and his classmates are natural allies.

The second and third place winners of this year's imperial examination are both in the Hanlin Academy and are well-informed.

Mu Wanqing smiled slightly and did not tell him that it was just on the surface. There were not many people who would really fight to the death. Most people were just pretending. After all, many officials' children were in her hands.

There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

As for the emperor, he would not refuse anything that was beneficial to the country and the court.

And this bank plan...the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her smile was particularly bright.

Mu Zicheng saw this and shuddered. Someone is about to be in trouble. Tsk tsk, so miserable.

The next day was the family reunion. All the tribesmen were there. The newlyweds came together sweetly, both wearing bright red clothes, and were the undisputed protagonists.

First, greet the parents-in-law and serve them tea with both hands.

Mr. Mu gave a precious Duan inkstone as a gift, and Mrs. Mu gave a set of sapphire head ornaments.

Mu Zicheng and his wife gave a pair of snow-white jade pendants. As for Mu Wanqing, she was the youngest, so it was the newlyweds who gave her the gift.

Next came the clan members. This time, each family sent a representative to Fufeng City to attend the wedding banquet, so there were quite a lot of people.

Everyone was polite and no one made things difficult for the young couple.

When it was the third aunt of the seventh room's turn, she gave a jade hairpin and said, "Since you have become the daughter-in-law of the Mu family, you must abide by your duties and observe the three obediences and four virtues. Don't show up in public wearing androgynous clothes all day long and bring shame to our Mu family..."

Yun Shu was stunned. Her parents-in-law didn't say anything, so how could she, a member of the Outcast tribe, put on airs?

Mu Ziang frowned, "Third Aunt, you..." This is too much.

Mu Wanqing, who was sitting at the dining table like a wallflower, cleared her throat and said, "Ahem, Third Aunt, you are blaming me for something else. When did I offend you?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense and everyone looked at each other.

The third aunt's face changed drastically, and she waved her hands desperately, "No, no, I didn't, I definitely didn't mean that, don't think too much about it."

Mu Wanqing looked at her expressionlessly, her bossy temperament revealed, "I just like to wear androgynous clothes, like to show up, like to compete with others, three obediences and four virtues? Haha."

It is a tradition for men to suppress women, so what is the point of women being harsh on other women?

Third Aunt was trembling and sweating with anxiety. She had some small thoughts in her mind, but she would never dare to offend Mu Wanqing.

"Chief, I swear to heaven, I really didn't say what you meant. I dare not."

She also looked around for help. Please say a good word for her.

But no one dared to speak, and their mouths were tightly shut.

Who dares to jump out and attract Mu Wanqing's attention? Are you crazy?

Who doesn't know Mu Wanqing's methods? Do they think her thousands of Qingping troops are just decorations?

Yun Shu's eyes were wide open, and little stars were twinkling in her eyes. Wow, he looked so dignified and prestigious with a stern face. Even the elders in the tribe didn't dare to say a word.

This is the power of the head of a clan.

Mu Wanqing looked very serious. "The Mu family struggled to come here from exile. They started out as snack bars and are now prosperous. This is all thanks to the efforts of everyone. Both men and women have contributed. The contribution of women cannot be erased. Have you forgotten the scene when the whole family was involved in the business?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, all the clansmen stood up and listened obediently. The new wives were all confused. This was too exaggerated.

"Now that you have money, don't be arrogant. Don't discriminate against women and trample on women. The clan rules are above all else. You must obey them. If I find out that someone is breaking the rules, I will be very unhappy and the consequences will be serious."

Some people couldn't help but feel nervous and sweaty.

Mu Wanqing looked at everyone coldly one by one, and finally her eyes fell on Third Aunt. Third Aunt's eyes were red, "I didn't..." Why was she so rude?

"Then why didn't you tell my second brother to do his duty?" Mu Wanqing remembered that this third aunt used to be very simple and honest, and her family conditions were not very good, but now she seemed like a different person. It can only be said that money can change a lot of things.

"Do you think I'm stupid enough to not understand?"

If she is stupid, then everyone present is stupid.

The third aunt regretted it so much, "I was wrong, I won't say nonsense again next time."

Mu Wanqing looked at the other tribe members with an extremely strong attitude, "Men and women are equal and have the same rights as written into the tribe rules. If any of you are dissatisfied, you can either leave the tribe or kill me and take my place."

She has no control over others, but as the patriarch of the Mu family, she sets the rules of the Mu family.

Both boys and girls must go to school and have the right of inheritance. No one objected to this in the beginning, but now they cannot say no.

She has always been strong and decisive, and her reputation in the clan is unmatched.

All the young people were brought up by her and they admire her very much.

Everyone expressed their opinions, "No, no, you are the best clan leader and have done us a great favor. If it weren't for you, we would still be exiles."

"Don't be angry. We all listen to you. If you say one thing, we dare not say another."

"You have protected us all the way. It is all your credit that we are where we are today. Everyone remembers it. Whatever you say is right."

Without Mu Wanqing, the Mu family is nothing.

Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, "Also, don't cause trouble for me. You all know the consequences of violating the clan rules. You also know what kind of person I am."

She snorted coldly, "Just because you're surnamed Mu doesn't mean you're immune from death. You should understand why you should put justice before your relatives."

Everyone was trembling.

Mu Wanqing will give some warning today, and then when she returns to Xiliang, she will severely punish those who trouble themselves and clean up the mess.

"Okay, go ahead."

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Keep going, keep going."

Nothing happened after that, and no one dared to do anything bad under Mu Wanqing's nose.

As soon as the kiss was over, Du Shaoxuan came in and knelt before Master Mu, frightening him so much that he stepped back repeatedly, looking terrified, "What are you doing? Get up quickly, how can a prince like you kneel down to me?"

Du Shaoxuan looked extremely sincere, "Please uncle marry Wanqing to me. I will treat her well and listen to her in everything. If she says go west, I will never go east. I will never marry two women in this life."

Mr. Mu’s frightened face turned dark in an instant. This brat was here to steal his precious daughter!

hateful!

Please ask, is it illegal to kick a prince out of his home?
