Hurry up and hurry, and finally arrived in the capital.

At this time, it was late July, and it had not yet entered August, and Mu Erye set off from Pingcheng and had not yet arrived in the capital.

"Uncle, don't live here, I won't go into the city."

After thinking about it, Mu Qingwan decided not to enter the capital for the time being. If you enter the capital, where you live is also a problem.

Second Uncle Wang planned to take Mu Qingwan back to the Zhenguo General's Mansion, but, no matter what, Mu Qingwan's own grandfather was the Marquis of Anping, and if he went to his grandfather's house, it would be a bit unpleasant, and it would not be good for his reputation, the reputation of Second Master Mu, and the reputation of his grandfather. But if he lives in the Anping Hou Mansion, once Mu Er Ye has not yet arrived in Beijing, it is difficult to say the relationship with the Anping Hou Mansion in the future, and he will go to the Anping Hou Mansion rashly, just for fear that he will cause trouble for Mu Er Ye. Moreover, Mu Qingwan did not plan to contact the people of the Anping Marquis Mansion too early.

"Qingwan, go home with your uncle, what are you afraid of?"

Second Uncle Wang is still insisting, his own niece goes back to her grandfather's house, who dares to say anything!

"Forget it, second uncle. My mother gave me a few Zhuangzi in the suburbs of the capital, and I haven't seen them yet. I just happened to stop by to take a look, and during this time, I will live in Zhuangzi first. When my father and mother arrived, we went into the city together. Besides, my brother should be here in a few days, and my brother is going to try it out this time, so I have to take care of my brother. ”

Mu Qingwan was very persistent, although she was very moved by Second Uncle Wang's actions, but in order not to have so much trouble in the future, temporarily living in Zhuangzi was the best choice at present.

"Uncle Lao explained the situation to my grandfather and grandmother, and Qingwan will visit them in a few days."

"Alright then, you stay safe. I will leave a couple of people for you, and if there is anything, I will send a letter to the Zhenguo General's Mansion. ”

Second Uncle Wang had no choice but to agree to Mu Qingwan's request.

"Got it, uncle."

Mu Qingwan responded.

"Daddy, I want to be with my cousin, and I'm not going back."

During this time, the relationship between Wang Chengwen and Mu Qingwan has improved by leaps and bounds, after all, my sister is different from my brother, and my sister's feelings are more delicate. It's too boring to go home, it's still fun to follow Mu Qingwan, Wang Chengwen wants to stay with Mu Qingwan more and more.

"You stinky boy, you have gone wild after a trip, you have to go back with me. When I go back, I will start to study and practice martial arts, and don't think about being lazy in the future. ”

In the end, Wang Chengwen was taken away by Wang's second uncle.

Mu Qingwan rushed to Zhuangzi with auspiciousness and ruyi, as well as a pair of ten people left by the second uncle of Wang.

Mrs. Mu gave Mu Qingwan a few Zhuangzi who were married in the suburbs of the capital, and later Mu Qingwan bought hundreds of acres of land on this basis, so Mu Qingwan is also a small landlady here.

When he arrived at the largest Zhuangzi, Mu Qingwan asked Jixiang to take out the token, and then there was the steward of the Zhuangzi and welcomed the people in.

"Little Miss, come in. The subordinate is the steward of this Zhuangzi, surnamed Wang. ”

The man in charge was an old man with gray hair, about fifty years old. It is said that he was also a personal soldier of his maternal grandfather, and after retiring from the army, he was arranged to be assigned to his mother's Zhuangzi and became a steward. Like a pro-soldier, they generally claim to be subordinates, and rarely talk about slaves, Mu Qingwan is also accustomed to these.

"Little Miss, Zhuangzi is managed by my family on weekdays, there are not many people, my mother-in-law, two sons, two daughters-in-law, and three or four half-old grandchildren. I kept them all waiting here. ”

Entering the main courtyard, the king's steward told Mu Qingwan. There was already a line of people standing in the courtyard at this time.

"Well, trouble, Steward Wang."

Mu Qingwan's eyes swept over, there were not many people, a mother-in-law about fifty years old, two young people, two women, one of whom was holding an infant doll in her hand. In addition, there was a girl about ten years old, two boys about ten years old, and a girl of three or four years old who was hiding behind the legs of a young man, looking at Mu Qingwan curiously. Steward Wang's family was dressed in ordinary clothes, coarse linen clothes, and they all looked like honest and honest people.

"I will live in Zhuangzi for a while, and you don't have to be restrained. Usually things are the same, here are my two big girls, auspicious and ruyi, they take care of me on weekdays, and when I am in Zhuangzi, they are responsible for my food and clothing. If you have anything, you can also look for them. The others were guards, left by the second uncle, and Steward Wang was responsible for arranging their food and lodging. ”

After speaking, Mu Qingwan nodded towards the king's steward.

Steward Wang's family is very well-behaved, and the main house of Zhuangzi has always been cleaned up, so it is very clean. It's just that it doesn't live for a long time and lacks popularity.

But Jixiang and Ruyi cleaned up the house again, and the luggage was placed according to Mu Qingwan's preferences, and after making sure that there was no problem, they let Mu Qingwan go in to rest.

"Jixiang, what about the letter from the king of Shu County? Show it to me. ”

In the morning, the king's letter arrived, but he was in a hurry and did not have time to read it. Mu Qingwan let Jixiang put it away, and was ready to watch it when she was free.

"Yes, miss."

Ji Xiang took out a letter from the small box specially containing letters and handed it to Mu Qingwan.

In the letter, Steward Wang reported to Mu Qingwan the situation of Zhuangzi in various places in Shu County in the past month, and everything was not much different from Mu Qingwan's plan.

In the letter, Steward Wang specially explained the situation of the sale of Chuanbei loquat ointment. The loquat in the Zhuangzi orchard was picked before, and together with the Chuanbei powder, a few reliable people were arranged to boil it into Chuanbei loquat paste according to the steps Mu Qingwan said. At that time, Mu Qingwan personally guided and looked at it until she was sure that there was no problem. The loquat of the nearby people's houses was also purchased by the king's steward and processed in the same way.

Because of the rush of time, after Mu Qingwan left Shu County, the finished products began to be sold in the store for interviews. Steward Wang originally just wanted to try it, but at the beginning, no one cared, but then one day a customer came and bought a bottle with the mentality of trying it out. As a result, the market opened up all at once, and the remaining loquat paste was almost preempted.

Because, Mu Qingwan originally wanted to promote an effective cough medicine at a price close to the people, so the price is not too high after excluding the cost, and the profit per bottle is not too high, and ordinary people can still accept it. Because of this, the loquat paste was almost sold out as soon as it hit the shelves.

Steward Wang bought almost all the loquat that he could receive, and the Chuanbei brought by Mu Qingwan had been used up, so he could only boil it according to the other method Mu Qingwan said. When selling, I also explained to the customer that one of the medicinal materials is not enough, so the efficacy may be one point worse. Regular loquat paste is cheaper, so it sells more in demand. After all, even if the cough medicine is one point worse, it is already much better than the previous medicine.

Because the main season for loquat harvesting has been missed this year, not much loquat paste is made. Steward Wang asked Mu Qingwan if he could make more preparations and expand production next year.
