The head of the Mu family

Chapter 47 Da Mao: So this is how people can live.

So, although Da Mao was very worried about Wu Ya, he became more and more confident.

Money gives poor people courage!

So after Da Mao bravely expressed himself, Shen Huai deliberately said:

"Let's look at Uncle Liu's case first, since we've troubled him and he's put in a lot of effort for over a year."

"If you don't like it, that's fine. We can talk to Uncle Liu about that prince you mentioned, okay?"

Da Mao thought about it and realized that since they had put in so much effort, he should at least take a look.

Just after the Lunar New Year, Uncle Liu brought Zhou Li to Jishetang to see Dr. Shen Huai, a specialist at the clinic.

This time, Xiao Qianyan was assisting Shen Huai, while Da Mao was doing nothing as a helper.

When Uncle Liu led Zhou Li in, the young steward had a simple and honest smile on his face.

He looked like he knew it all, probably because the clever kid had already guessed it.

Da Mao was so surprised he could hardly contain himself.

It was only when Xiao Qianyan pretended to bump into her unintentionally that Da Mao came to her senses.

Shen Huai actually took his pulse.

In any case, Da Mao's partner's health absolutely cannot be compromised.

My health is okay, but being constantly on the go takes a toll on my body.

You may not notice it now that you're young, but if you're not careful, it can lead to occupational diseases later in life.

I prescribed some restorative medicine. Judging from the ambiguous undercurrent between the two of them, I guess the medicine will taste sweet after they get home.

Shen Huai: Oh dear~ the stench of love~

Uncle Liu: Tsk tsk~ It's so good to be young.

Xiao Qianyan: What are they doing?

Also, what are those two laughing about?

Shen Huai turned his head and saw Xiao Qianyan looking completely bewildered:

Little prodigy, are you wondering about this?

Is there anything you don't understand?

After looking at this guest, Shen Huai said:

"Uncle Liu, I'm offering free medical consultations today."

My older sister came to help today, and she's already finished.

"Could you please take her home with you?"

Butler Liu readily agreed; who doesn't love shipping couples?

Before the New Year, Zhou sent out invitations, asking Da Mao to come for tea and a performance on the afternoon of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Because the silk shops, apart from their physical stores, begin their holiday on the 28th.

They take turns on duty on the 28th and 29th, with each person taking half a day.

We started our shifts on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year and didn't all staff return to work until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Zhou Li inquired about Da Mao's rest time and then sent him an invitation.

The girls were stunned with excitement when they saw the post.

Da Mao never imagined in his life that someone would send him an invitation; he had only seen it once before at Wu Ya's place.

During lunchtime, Da Mao quickly finished talking and then nervously went to Shen Huai to discuss the matter.

Seeing her both nervous and expectant, Shen Huai smiled and said:

"Sister, it depends on you. Although you asked Uncle Liu to take a look, you have to find someone whose character suits you."

This is a lifelong problem for you, and there are others who need to strive for improvement.

You may not mind that he lives a hard life, but that doesn't mean you should live a hard life.

You are hardworking and ambitious, and no matter who you are, your life will get better and better.

So you need to find someone who can make your life better, understand?

"Wu Ya, you've always been smarter than us since you were little."

Now that I earn my own money, I understand many things.

I want to keep the appointment. I want to see what kind of person he is, and I want him to see what kind of person I am.

Shen Huai smiled gently:

"That's right!"

My older sister is beautiful, and she's currently earning money to support herself. She'll earn even more money in the future!

If I had to choose, I would naturally choose someone who would make me better.

However, I should dress up nicely for the appointment tomorrow.

Da Mao asked about Shen Huai's health condition and then went back home with great excitement.

After Xiao Qian finished her shift, Shen Huai also saw Da Mao off, and took his little hand and said to him:

I need to go out for a bit.

Xiao Qianyan asked curiously:

"where to?"

Shen Huai replied, "I'm going out to buy something."

Xiao Qianyan smiled innocently and said:

“I’ve never been outside since I came here, I want to go too.”

Shen Huai patted the head of the adorable little Qianyan and said affectionately:

"Okay, okay~"

Shen Huai then asked Doctor Qian to find a maid to take them out.

First, they went to a clothing store and bought a simple brocade robe for Da Mao based on his size. Then, they bought a fine cotton robe and shoes and socks for each of the four maids.

I also bought a set of fine cotton clothes, shoes and socks for Xiao Qianyan.

I originally wanted to buy the little prodigy some fine clothes, but he doesn't wear them often, and I haven't had any income for a long time, so I decided not to waste them.

I also bought Da Mao a plain silver hairpin and two velvet flowers, and then I thought about it and bought an eyebrow pencil.

Seeing the earrings, I realized I don't have pierced ears, so I'm saving myself the trouble.

Thinking back, I didn't even notice who bought Xiao Qianyan's winter clothes while I was lying down. What a dereliction of duty!

The children came to help and took good care of themselves, so they couldn't even reunite with their sister for the Lunar New Year.

Shen Huai felt a little guilty.

When I take the child home, I'll buy him lots of things!

After buying it, he gave the maid fifty coins for tea.

"How could I possibly accept the young lady's reward money? The master and mistress would say something."

"Auntie, what are you saying? I insisted on inviting you for tea. If Madam Qian has anything to say, then she can come and tell me."

"Auntie, are you complaining that it's not enough?"

Seeing this, the servant accepted it, and the group went back happily.

The next morning, Shen Huai guessed that Da Mao would finish his shift, eat breakfast, and then go to keep his appointment.

Then he led Xiao Qianyan to deliver the items.

Sure enough, they had just finished eating when we got there.

The three girls felt a little uncomfortable when they saw that Da Mao had more things than them.

Because in the past, all four of us had the same things.

But they both knew the reason in their hearts:

When Wu Ya was beaten to the point of near death, only Da Mao went to protect her.

When Da Mao saw the brocade robes, silver hairpins, and velvet flowers, he couldn't even think straight.

With the money she's saved up, she could buy these things if she gritted her teeth, but she definitely wouldn't be willing to spend the money.

In her mind, this was something only city girls had.

Shen Huai told her to change quickly and comb her hair.

Shen Huai put a silver hairpin and a velvet flower in her hair, and then used an eyebrow pencil to draw her eyebrows.

Da Mao stared in astonishment at his reflection in the communal bronze mirror in the lower room!

The three girls were stunned!

I couldn't come to my senses for a long time.

Da Mao: Isn't this just like the outfit of a young lady from a wealthy family in town!

Can people like us dress like this?

Three girls: The older sister has become a rich young lady!

"Sister is so beautiful~"

Go to the appointment confidently and openly in a little while!

Just then, Zhou Li arrived outside, and everyone escorted Da Mao to the door.

Zhou Li stood in front of a carriage, his eyes immediately lighting up!

Zhou Li: She looks almost exactly like the head maid in the manor. I'm so satisfied!

Zhou Li recognized the people who came out: Wu Ya and the child next to her.

The others, I suppose, are her other younger sisters.

She took out the gifts she had prepared in advance and bought a small portion of pastries for each of her younger sisters.

Shen Huai secretly assessed:

He knew to rent a horse-drawn carriage to pick them up and even bought things for his family; the young man is quite considerate.

Upon closer inspection, he's actually quite a handsome young man!

Not bad, not bad~

Da Mao got into the carriage without really understanding what was going on.

So this is what it's like to ride in a horse-drawn carriage.

The last few times, I really couldn't ask them to ride in a horse-drawn carriage!

After Da Mao left, Shen Huai led Xiao Qianyan back to Jishetang.

On the way, he gave the pastries to Xiao Qianyan, who broke off half and gave it to Shen Huai.

Before dark, Zhou Li bought some more food and ate with Da Mao and his sisters.

It's not appropriate to take someone out for dinner on a first date.

After seeing him off at the door and watching Da Mao go inside, he grinned and drove the carriage back.
