After the rest period, the city defense troops guarding the south wall resumed training, and everything returned to normal.
It's just different from before. Every night, the Qiao family eats together, and the feeling of the whole family gathering makes people feel peaceful and content.
Qiao Lian'er supplied the top-quality goods to the royal family, high-ranking families, and wealthy people, while other ordinary goods were sold to the lower-tier markets through various shops under the Qiao family's name. By doing both, she firmly controlled both the upstream and downstream markets, making a fortune.
After days of continuous training, the soldiers of Qingfeng Plain have mastered various formations and become elite troops, ready to be deployed at any time if needed on the battlefield.
Mu Xinghe's career in government was also quite successful.
In every aspect, the family is growing bigger and stronger, and the Qiao family is at the height of its power.
But the more this is the case, the more low-key they need to be. The Qiao family members are all very humble, never ostentatious, and never put on airs. In a place like Beijing, only those who are modest and know how to be respectful can go far.
The shepherd's carriage traveled for more than half a month before finally arriving in the capital.
Although they passed through many cities along the way, some of which were very large and breathtaking.
But when the capital city was revealed before their eyes, they were still so amazed that they were speechless.
After a long pause, Mu Laosan finally spoke: "The capital is truly a wonderful place. No wonder the Qiao family moved here, and no wonder Mu Xinghe, after becoming an official here, doesn't want to go back to his hometown for a visit."
"If it were me, I would think the same way." Mu Lao Si's face was also full of longing.
“The capital city is the dream of all the people of Daze Kingdom. Being able to buy a small courtyard or a small shop in the capital city can change the fate of eight generations of their descendants,” Mu Taoxian said.
“But we Mu family have Xinghe, so we can go and live in a multi-courtyard mansion, do business in a big shop, and maybe even have a shop building,” said Mu’s eldest son’s wife.
"It's truly a case of 'when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven,' saving our Mu family from going through so many detours," Mu Lao Si's wife remarked.
Now the herders all treat their fantasies as established facts, and everyone is very excited.
"Let's go into the city and find Mu Xinghe. Let him settle our whole family in a good manner." Old Master Mu waved his hand.
Since Zhao Lizheng refused to issue a travel permit, the Mu family went to the town garrison and paid money to obtain one. They traveled smoothly all the way and naturally entered the capital without any obstacles.
The capital city is so big that the large family was overwhelmed and didn't know where to go.
Mu Lao Er's wife stopped a passerby and asked, "Excuse me, where does Mu Xinghe live?"
The passerby looked bewildered and replied in a Beijing accent, "Who is Mu Xinghe? I don't know him."
“How could you not recognize him? He’s a member of our family, a high-ranking official in the capital. You’re really too ignorant,” the eldest son of the eldest son of the Mu family scoffed.
The passersby found it amusing: "What? Even though he's a high-ranking official, he didn't tell you where he is. Are you all such failures that you're avoiding him now that he's successful?"
People in the capital are mostly educated and quick-witted; this one sentence made the shepherd family member turn pale.
The shepherd's family then pulled another passerby over to ask.
"I don't know them. We can't even see those officials, so how would we know their names? However, most of them live in the city center. You need to go to the city center."
