The head of the Mu family

Chapter 139 Surprise

After recovering from the acupuncture, Huaisheng continued reading and practicing.

Young Master Liao picked up a book and started reading. When he came across something interesting, he would share it with Huai Sheng, who would always respond promptly and politely.

As darkness fell, Huai Sheng said helplessly:

"Young Master Liao, why don't you give them some pointers? Otherwise, they definitely won't be able to solve it today."

This answer is too young for them.

Young Master Liao went to help them analyze the situation, and finally, when it was completely dark, Jingtang and Nian'an guessed it.

After hearing the answer, no one knew the reason, so Young Master Liao explained it in a way they could understand.

When they heard outside that it was time for dinner, everyone realized they were starving and went to eat.

After dinner, Huaisheng instructed Uncle Pan and Brother Han, who had returned, to take pairs of children back to their homes.

The children wanted to play a little longer.

Sister Huaisheng~

Why were you able to stay for so long last time you came?

Nian'an tilted her head and asked, puzzled.

"Since the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were both there last time, and only you two are here to play this time, of course we need to send you back safely as soon as possible."

So as not to worry my family~

"Then, when will we come again?"

Huai Sheng rubbed his forehead and laughed:

"How about next time, when the Crown Prince and Princess have some free time to come?"

"Okay, fine..."

All the children reluctantly went back, but for safety's sake, the Liao siblings went back with the Jingtang siblings.

As expected, after the Lunar New Year, Young Master Liao sent word, inviting Huai Sheng to make a house call.

When Huai Sheng went out to make house calls, he carefully kept the jade pendant close to his body. When he arrived at the Liao residence for acupuncture, he returned the jade pendant to its rightful owner.

Young Master Liao carefully put the money into his pocket and gave it to Huai Sheng, but Huai Sheng refused to accept so much.

"Miss Mu, the New Year is just around the corner, everyone is very busy, and I feel really bad for troubling you to come all this way."

"Then I thank you very much, Young Master Liao. If you think my medical skills are acceptable, I can also examine your family members today."

Based on individual circumstances, I can provide some medicinal diet recipes for health maintenance.

"I've long heard from Jingtang about your exceptional medical skills, young lady. It would be impolite of me to refuse."

Young Master Liao immediately sent someone to summon his family members from the mansion.

Huai Sheng took their pulses one by one, prescribed medicine and conditioning for those who were sick, and immediately performed acupuncture and prescribed medicinal diets for those with minor ailments.

They also prepared a medicinal diet for Miss Liao, wishing her many children and blessings after she gets married.

They created a plan for the whole family to take 100 steps after meals and wrote down the specific implementation details.

The family was extremely grateful. As dusk fell, the Liao family warmly invited them to stay for dinner, but Huai Sheng declined, saying he had other matters to attend to, and went home.

Only Young Master Liao felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

On New Year's Eve, after distributing the reward money, Huai Sheng wanted to close the door and play cards with everyone.

Uncle Li said:

"We old buddies were hanging out on the gatehouse; it can't be empty there!"

"Alright, each person will receive an extra tael of silver. Those who lose it all are not allowed to gamble with their own money anymore."

"Alright~ We old brothers thank you, patriarch!"

"Master, we old women will go play in the backyard too!"

After receiving hints from Aunt Wang and Madam Dong, Aunt Sun also spoke up.

"Alright, same rules. Go find Qingyue and collect your one tael of silver each."

Seeing this, Shanlai and the others also took the money from Yaojia and the others and went to play in the lower rooms.

Lady Wang, with Niu Niu by her side, came and dragged Lady Liu away again.

Finally, Qingyue and her husband, Qingyun and a few others, Xuanmu, Ping'an, Awang and Muxi played cards together.

Except for Qingyue, everyone else is about the same. When Qingyue had two ounces in front of her, Qingxing said:

"Sister Qingyue, the difference in strength between you and us is too great. Please put away the silver and give us your guidance."

Everyone chimed in.

"Okay~ okay~"

"I'll spare you, but whoever wins tomorrow will have to thank me properly for not playing!"

"Qingxing is right, and Qingyue is also correct."

"As soon as I got back, I heard you speaking~"

You really know how to smooth things over!

A familiar voice came from outside the door. Huai Sheng turned around in surprise, his eyes lighting up:

"A brief statement!"

"Why are you back!"

"Of course I'll go home for the Chinese New Year!"

There were tears in Qianyan's eyes, and there were also some in Huaisheng's eyes.

As they spoke, Qianyan walked to Huaisheng's side. With so many people around, both of them resisted the urge to hug each other.

Qianyan kept staring at Huaisheng:

Huai Sheng was dressed casually in a honey-colored, slightly worn jacket, with a jade hairpin he had made himself on his head and a gold hairpin inlaid with pearls on the other side. Next to the jade hairpin was a velvet flower that matched the jacket.

Her eyes were bright, filled with surprise and longing for herself; her delicate nose and full lips were incredibly alluring!

Huai Sheng was also reading Qian Yan. Despite his travel-worn appearance, he couldn't hide his carefree spirit. Suddenly, he came to his senses.

"Qingyue, Qingyun, quickly have Lady Wang prepare a meal. See how many others came back with you."

Just then, Qingtian walked in.

Qingyue and the others hugged Qingtian excitedly for a long time, and Qingyun quickly took Qingchen down to make arrangements.

Huai Sheng turned to look at the excited Qing Yue and Qing Xing, and instructed Ping An and the others:

"Ping An, take them to tidy up the beds in the west wing."

"Master, Young Master Qianyan has traveled a long way and looks tired. I'll go and prepare some water for his bath."

"Qingyue's elegant husband said."

"Right, I forgot. Take Mu Xi and Mu Xu with you quickly~"

Take off your outer robe, it's warm inside, have some hot tea~

Qianyan picked up Huaisheng's cup and drank the warm water inside in one gulp.

Qingyue and the others reminisced while they went out to do their work, and Xuanmu went to look after his brothers.

There were only two people left in the room. Qianyan immediately hugged Huaisheng tightly, and Huaisheng hugged Qianyan back.

They hugged for a long time without saying a word.

The silence speaks.

After an unknown amount of time, the sounds of Qingyue and the others chatting and reminiscing came from behind. Huaisheng quickly let go of Qianyan, and Qianyan reluctantly let go of Huaisheng as well.

"Young Master, the bathwater is ready. Qingtian and the other guards, please wait a little longer."

Qingyun's voice came from outside the door.

"You all come in and serve the young lady, and let Xuanmu serve me while I bathe."

Wait for me, I'll play cards with you~

"Okay~ Go quickly~"

Qianyan pushed open the door and went out, turning back every few steps. Qingyun and the others came in, and Huaisheng asked Qingyue to check if the food was ready.

Before long, the water for Qingtian and the others to bathe in was ready, and Qingyun went to make arrangements for them.

Mu Su came to say the food was ready, so Huai Sheng led them to the dining hall to make arrangements, and asked Mu Su to tell Qing Yun and Xuan Mu.

Huai Sheng then asked Mu Xi and A Wang to move a few more floor heaters over to the dining room so that their hair would be almost dry by the time they finished eating.

Just as the meal was being prepared, Qianyan came over after washing up. Qianyan, who was almost eighteen, was gradually blossoming into womanhood.

His intense gaze made Huai Sheng's face flush slightly.

"Don't wear the padded jacket anymore. I've installed two extra floor heaters so your hair will dry faster."

Come and eat, it's too late, take it easy. Play for a while later and have some milk before bed~

Qianyan took off her padded jacket and came over, sitting down next to Huaisheng.
