Qiao Lian'er went back into the house: "Brother Xinghe, don't take it to heart. The Mu family can't possibly control you on this."
"It was the Mu family that went too far and was intolerable. The higher-ups can't possibly be unable to distinguish right from wrong."
Mu Xinghe thought about it and felt relieved.
The wedding day arrived quickly. The Qiao family also made some arrangements for Mu Lao Si's family. They went there first to pay their respects before bringing the young couple back.
If the shepherd family hadn't been so outrageous, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths, even for a wedding.
The Mu family didn't come for the banquet, but the Shen family did.
Shen Liang silently drank his wine. He hadn't expected Mu Xinghe to have such strength, or that Qiao Xier was so lucky.
He used to be a self-important person, but now he feels insignificant.
A person's talent is also limited; there are some people you can only look up to forever.
"The Qiao family is truly blessed. Anyone who gets involved with them will be lucky. Just look at Mu Xinghe; he might even become the top scholar in the imperial examination. Shen Liang, are you regretting it?"
The villagers sitting next to Shen Liang patted him on the shoulder, their faces showing amusement.
"Oh, everyone has their own fate." Shen Liang's face was somewhat ashen, and he didn't want to say more.
The Qiao family is very generous with their ingredients; the tables are laden with lavish dishes, and you can even take home any leftovers.
With the Qiao family's wealth, they didn't care whether the gifts the villagers displayed could recoup their costs.
As long as the atmosphere is lively, festive, and grand, and everyone enjoys the food, the banquet will proceed smoothly.
Qiao Lian'er brought the Chu family, including Wei Chi and Gao Shuying, and also brought the Qiao family from the capital, including the Pei brothers.
A few days later, they were sent back to everyone, and Mu Xinghe and Qiao Xier were also sent to the capital.
The news of the top scholar from the Southwest region has been sent to the capital, but the news that Mu Xinghe is in the capital has not spread.
Based on the distance, even traveling at a fast pace on horseback would take half a month.
This time, Qiao Lian'er didn't rush to find him a teacher; many famous teachers would come knocking on her door.
Entering the underground ice storage in the courtyard, one finds rows upon rows of ice blocks stacked as far as the eye can see. Inside the ice blocks are durians, custard apples, and coconuts. There are still some left, so Qiao Lian'er restocks the storage.
A key reason she bought this large mansion was because it contained a large ice storage room underground.
It has to be said, the original owner really knew how to enjoy life.
Housekeeper Chai held the list and directed people to get busy carrying durians out of the freezer one by one.
The wealthy were getting tired of the nuts, but not the durians. And because of the summer heat, many people loved coconut water. Both of these items maintained extremely high sales every day, and even nobles from nearby cities would come all the way to the Qiao family in the capital to buy them.
Butler Chai diligently kept the accounts every day. He knew that he was secretly making some mistakes, but Miss Qiao couldn't tell. However, he always adhered to the principle of honesty.
Qiao Lian'er has a space to keep accounts, and her records match those of Butler Chai. Despite such a large volume of goods being sold, Butler Chai didn't even bother with it.
He is a trustworthy person.
You should know that during this period, she caught quite a few stewards and accountants. They were only tempted by a little bit of profit, which shows how rare Steward Chai is.
Overjoyed, he tripled the monthly allowance for Butler Chai.
Butler Chai was flattered and somewhat apprehensive. Did Miss Qiao no longer want him? Was she going to kick him out?
