Although Mu Xuan's biological mother had always lived with him in the countryside, his mother had taught him etiquette, literacy, and even painting and playing the piano.
His biological mother had once been the personal maid of the Mu family mistress, and while she knew as much as the young lady, it was just that she didn't have such a good background, such a strong foundation, and no resources.
So the little Mu Xuan is much more mature and hardworking than other children of the same age.
"You are... such a handsome boy, did you knock on the wrong door?" Yueya opened the door, and Sang Jin saw several unfamiliar teenagers.
The person who opened the door this time was exactly the one he missed the most, Sang Jin. He must be sick, why would he miss a five-year-old child?
"Ms. Sang Jin, it's me, Mu Xuan. I'm back." Seeing that Sang Jin didn't recognize him, Mu Xuan took the initiative to introduce himself.
"Are you little Mu Xuan? I couldn't recognize you after you changed your clothes. You seem to be doing pretty well now. You have so many followers." Sang Jin kept inviting Mu Xuan and the others in.
"This is Mr. Wu from the family of County Magistrate Wu. I only have one follower." Mu Xuan explained.
"It's Mr. Wu, please come in." Although Sang Jin was only five years old, she spoke very clearly. This was because her soul was actually that of a person over a hundred years old, and she was also a cultivator.
"Hehehe... This little girl speaks quite fluently. My name is Wu Guo, you can call me Brother Guo. Ouch—" Wu Guo coaxed. Mu Xuan immediately stepped on him. He closed his mouth in pain.
"Miss Sang Jin, don't worry about him."
"Hehehe..." Wu Guo rubbed his head and smiled foolishly. Such a cute little sister, and she wouldn't let me tease her. How stingy.
"Brother, please help me take care of my two brothers. I'll go make some tea." Sang Jin caught Sang Yu just as she opened the door. Her mother and father were already out at this hour. Only the servants and the three siblings were home.
"Huh? I can't speak."
"Just take them out to play. One of them is someone you know. Mu Xuan from before."
"Oh, it's Brother Mu Xuan. Then come back soon." Sang Yu agreed readily.
Although he was two years older than my younger sister, he wasn't as talkative as her. When Sang Yu saw the two young men sitting on the wooden bench in the courtyard, she was stunned for a long moment. Mu Xuan seemed to have become more handsome.
A rich young man should look like this, dressed in brocade clothes and followed by a highly skilled follower.
"Brother Sang Yu. Long time no see." Mu Xuan spoke first.
"Hello...long time no see." Sang Yu didn't know where to put her hands. Compared to Mu Xuan, he seemed like a servant. An inexplicable feeling of inferiority washed over Sang Yu.
When Sang Jin brought the tea over, she found the courtyard completely quiet. Sang Yu occasionally said a few words, and Mu Xuan and Wu Guo would smile and agree. For a moment, the scene was awkward.
"Brother, I'm here, go and play." Sang Jin often treats Sang Yu like a child.
"Yeah." Sang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally go spar with Er Shitou from the next street. Er Shitou had recently broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, just one level below him.
Sang Jin used her little hands to pour a cup of tea for Mu Xuan and the others.
"This is spiritual tea." Wu Guo was the first to notice. His father had this kind of spiritual tea. He treated it like a treasure and usually wouldn't give it to him.
"Yes, I brought it out from Nanwei Mountain. It's okay." Sang Jin also generously admitted that this was a spiritual tea.
"You...you...you actually entered Nanwei Mountain. And you are still unharmed. That is a place that only cultivators at least in the Foundation Establishment stage can enter." Wu Guo said stutteringly.
"I have a friend who is an expert, and I followed him in."
"That's more like it. You're really too brave to enter Nanwei Mountain even though you're in the Qi Refining Stage."
"Is there anything special about this Nanwei Mountain?" Mu Xuan asked.
"The Nanwei Mountain Range has been a training ground for major sects over the years. It is said that there are many magical medicines and adventures there. But at the same time, there are also many monsters living there. There is a barrier here. Usually, the elders of the sect or people from large families come to open the gap in the barrier for their disciples to train. I wonder how you got in?" Wu Guo asked.
This is incredibly suspicious. The friend this little girl is talking about must be at the Golden Core stage or higher. He's definitely a big shot.
"You don't have to worry about how we got in. Our village is now collectively growing spiritual vegetables. Brother Xuan, if you are interested, you can help us. You can also make a profit from the difference." Sang Jin saw that today was an opportunity and immediately started to promote the vegetables from her village.
Ordinary vegetables naturally didn't need to be prepared by the City Lord's Mansion. The key point was that her family only had spiritual vegetables.
"That's no problem. Give me some time." Mu Xuan was delighted. He had just returned to the Mu family and had no power of his own. Now he relied entirely on his father's confidants for protection. If he could slowly earn some spirit stones through business, that would be a good thing.
"Okay. It'll be a while before these dishes are available." Sang Jin wasn't in a hurry. Her village would eventually get back on track.
After Mu Xuan and Wu Guo left, Shengdan Village returned to peace.
A few days later, Sang's Grocery Store opened in Shengdan Village. The Sang family's carpentry shop also opened. There was also the Sang family's wine shop and condiment shop. And of course, there was also a pharmacy, where Dr. Zhou was the one who saw patients.
Sang Jin recommended Butler Mu to Old Man Sang to help manage these shops, and asked him to take an apprentice, who was Old Lady Zhuang.
"Old man, I'm the only one who can take care of these shops. With just a few of us, what kind of waves can we make? Why do we need to invite others to take a look?" Old Mrs. Zhuang felt that if the family could do things by themselves, they should not hire anyone, and it would be okay for her to do more.
Although we are not short of money at home now, we cannot waste it.
"Look, look. You want to grow vegetables, grow grain, and take care of your grandchildren. How can you be so busy? This shop is settled. Xiao Jin said that the village will need to buy and sell a lot of spiritual vegetables in the future. This matter will have to be led by our family. Also, the poultry at home are very valuable now. Xiao Jin said that they are all spiritual birds. They can be sold at a good price." Father Sang took a puff of leaf tobacco, blowing out white smoke rings from his mouth.
"But I always feel that we shouldn't ask others to take care of the shop."
"Then can you do the accounting? Do you understand business? Old woman, you just need to learn and check the accounts every month. What's wrong with that? Those shops are not making much money for the time being. Why do you have to pick on them?"
Old Man Sang didn't understand. He and his granddaughter just wanted the old woman to have a good rest and do less work.
She, on the other hand, would rather work herself to death, rushing to do the work everywhere and not letting him hire others to do it.
