Chapter 216: Mu Family
Yangzhou City is famous for its gardens. There are thousands of large and small gardens. In Liuyun Town outside Yangzhou City, there is a garden covering an area of more than 100,000 square meters, named Heyuan!
Heyuan lives in the Mu family, a large business family in Yangzhou. It is said that the Mu family moved from Huizhou during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. Among the Hui merchants all over the south of the Yangtze River, it is considered a very successful family!
They have been operating salt, iron, timber and brocade businesses in Yangzhou since the Ming Dynasty. Despite the vicissitudes and changes of the times, the Mu family is still a wealthy family in Yangzhou. However, today the Mu family is no longer engaged in the salt and iron business and has switched to the
Real estate, shipping business.
The head of this generation of the Mu family is Mr. Mu Yi. The old man is seventy years old. Although he is in good spirits, he no longer manages the Mu family's business. Instead, he leaves the business to his two sons.
I live in Heyuan with my two-room wife and enjoy my old age!
Mr. Mu Yi has three sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Mu Huixing, is in charge of the family's real estate and shipping business. He is the successor of the family appointed by Mr. Mu!
The second son, Wood Trading Company, manages other businesses in the family, such as weaving and embroidery, goldware and some investment businesses!
San Zimu gradually went to work. He was not running a family business, but was a special soldier with two bars and two stars on his back!
But there is also a rumor that just because Master Jianxing was born as a commoner, that is, born to the second wife, he was not qualified to manage the family business. When Mu Jianxing was twelve years old, he left the family to go out on his own and learned martial arts outside.
, and later joined the army, and with his tenacity, he made a name for himself!
Mr. Mu Yi also has a daughter named Mu Wan'er!
It is said that Miss Wan'er got married very early and has never returned to the Mu family since then. However, some people also say that the daughter of the Mu family has severed ties with the Mu family long ago. However, this
Rumors and even Mu Wan'er's name are taboo in the Mu family and no one dares to mention it.
A bunch of busy servants gathered in front of Mu's house in Liuyun Town!
Posted new couplets on the courtyard, cleaned the pair of stone lions in front of the door, and replaced the old lanterns and other decorations!
Just because in a few days, it will be Mr. Mu’s seventieth birthday, and it is very rare for people to live seventy years old. A big business family like the Mu family will definitely have to do something big!
There was a table placed next to the corner, and sitting on the table was a capable martial artist about forty years old!
The martial arts master's name is Yuan Hai. He has practiced hard Qigong since he was a child. When he was in his twenties, he won several Sanda championships. Later, when he got older, he was summoned to the house by Mr. Mu. He not only looked after the home but also cared for the heaven.
Year!
Yuan Hai tapped the paper and pen on the table boredly, looking back at the people next to him who were busy. Behind Yuan Hai, there was a poster recruiting boxers. A group of pedestrians walked by and stopped to take a look.
Recruitment poster, then shook his head and left.
It's not that the salary on the poster is unattractive, on the contrary, the salary on the poster is frighteningly high, but because the Mu family's requirements for boxers are so high, everyone can only shake their heads and sigh, not daring to apply for the job!
It is said that half a year ago, this poster was just put up, and many boxers came to apply for the job. However, after competing with the Mu family's big butler, no one could survive three moves in the hands of the butler!
It turns out that the big housekeeper's name is Qiu Xing. When he was young, he used to travel around the world with his hard qigong, wearing a golden bell and an iron cloth shirt, kicking in countless martial arts schools and defeating countless powerful enemies!
Just because he was too ostentatious, he was eventually plotted against him. Later, he was rescued by Mr. Mu, so he willingly came to the Mu family and took charge of the affairs of the Mu family!
Although Qiu Xing is just the steward of the Mu family, everyone in the Mu family, including the three young masters of the Mu family, do not dare to be disrespectful to steward Qiu, so they can only respectfully call him Uncle Xing!
With the steward Qiu personally checking the situation, the posters were put up for more than half a year, but no boxer was recruited, and Yuan Hai could only sit here every day, waiting for the boxer to come to his door!
From morning to night, continue the next day.
Just when Yuan Hai turned around and was lost in thought, enjoying the afternoon sunshine, he suddenly felt a figure in front of him. He raised his head and saw two men and one woman standing in front of him, with six pairs of eyes staring at the recruitment poster behind him!
These three young men were all under the age of twenty. The man at the front was a bit younger. He was holding a little white fox in his arms. The little fox also raised his head and looked at the recruitment poster carefully. It was really interesting.
Somewhat weird.
"Hey, you guys are blocking my sunshine!" Yuan Hai glanced at the three of them and said unceremoniously!
Are you kidding me, how dare a few guys with hairy hair not come to the Mu family to apply for a boxer job?
The young man holding the fox in his arms is Chang Sheng, and the men and women behind him are Feng Jue and Xiao Wu!
Changsheng smiled faintly, pointed at the poster behind Yuan Hai, and said, "Are you recruiting boxers?"
"Yeah, what's the matter? You also want to apply?" Yuan Hai was probably bored too. Even though he knew there was no result, he still replied, and he even laughed after saying it!
Changsheng looked at the poster again and said with a smile, "I have to ask about the remuneration first, and then decide whether to be your boxer or not!"
"Haha..." Yuan Hai laughed and replied, "Isn't it written very clearly above? As long as you become a boxer of the Mu family, you will get food and accommodation included, and a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan!"
"Where's eight thousand yuan?" The busy servants next to them also noticed the three Changshengs and stopped what they were doing to watch the fun. One of them replied with a smile, "It's higher than our annual salary!"
"Eight thousand yuan a month, is it okay?" Chang Sheng lowered his head and thought about it, then looked back at Feng Jue and Xiao Wu. It seemed that he was discussing with them!
Neither of them could figure out what Changsheng meant, so they looked at each other and said, "It's not bad!"
Seeing the pretentious posture of the three of them, Yuan Hai was a little speechless and shouted, "You guys leave quickly, don't make trouble here!"
"Senior, please tell me why the Mu family recruits boxers?"
"Huh?" Maybe it was the word 'senior' that moved Yuan Hai. Maybe Yuan Hai was bored for too long and did not catch up with Changsheng and the other three. He glanced at the servants who were busy again, and lowered his voice and said, "There are two people in the Mu family."
A young master and a young lady, who were just old enough, participated in a martial arts competition last year! Unexpectedly, neither young master was selected, and only the young lady was selected. But just a few days after being selected
, the young lady suddenly got a strange disease and could not continue to participate in the martial arts competition. Our master and Mo... had been negotiating with the organizer of the martial arts competition for a long time. The organizer did not give our master any face. What did he say?
Not accommodating! Mr. Mu was so angry that he posted this poster recruiting boxers just to find some famous boxing masters for the two young masters..."
"How old is your young master?"
"You're eight or nine years old, do you really want to apply for a boxer job?"
Changsheng nodded secretly. A big family like the Mu family, which has been inherited for a long time, is likely to know the existence of the Mo family, and may also be connected with the Mo family's outer courtyard. In this case, the Mu family wants the family disciples to enter the Mo family and practice advanced martial arts.
That makes sense!
It is very likely that the young master of the Mu family was not selected by the Mo family's outer court, so Mr. Mu would get angry and recruit a boxer with a high salary to teach the children of the Mu family.
"I came with them!" Changsheng said with a slight smile, "They two want to apply for the position of boxer!"
"Huh? Us!" The two of them were stunned at the same time. Looking at Changsheng, it didn't look like a joke. Feng Jue said bravely, "Yes, we want to apply for the Mu family's boxer position!"
"Are you sure you're not joking?" Yuan Hai was shocked and his voice rose a few decibels!
This caused the people next to him to look over again, stop what they were doing, and prepare to watch the fun.
"What skills do you need to apply to be a boxer of your Mu family?" Feng Jue asked hesitantly!
"As long as you can survive twenty moves in the hands of our chief steward!" Yuan Hai stood up and carefully looked at the three Changshengs!
The three of them held their heads high and were calm and collected. They really looked a bit like Lian Jiazi. However, looking at their ages, Yuan Hai really didn't believe that all three of them were masters. He said in a reminding tone, "
Our housekeeper practices the hard qigong of Golden Bell and Iron Cloth Shirt. When he was young, he was a well-known master in the south of the Yellow River. Hard qigong is different from other martial arts moves. It focuses on actual combat and fighting hard with hard.
You will definitely get hurt..."
"Don't say that these are available, take us to find the big housekeeper quickly!" Changsheng interrupted Yuan Hai angrily!
As a result, Yuan Hai and the three Chang Sheng people did not believe that they had such strength. They turned around and shouted to the people watching the excitement, "Go and ask the butler to come out and say that there are two people who want to apply for the position of boxer!"
The person who was called laughed and ran into the garden. I think this little brother also wanted to see what the big housekeeper would do.
"Chang Sheng, what are we doing?" Feng Jue walked to Chang Sheng and whispered in a low voice!
"I have important things to do, you can just deal with that big housekeeper!" Changsheng didn't say anything, and said with a faint smile.
Not long after, a man in his fifties walked out of the garden. The man had gray hair, but he was very strong. His temples were bulging high and veins popped out in his two big hands. He really looked like a master of hard qigong!
Without waiting for the man to speak, Yuan Hai trotted forward to meet him and said with a smile, "Butler, there are two applicants for boxing here. Please come and take a look!"
The chief steward nodded majestically, his eyes swept over the faces of Xiao Wu and Feng Jue in turn, and stopped on Chang Sheng's face. His pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously stopped while he was walking, staring at Chang Sheng's face, shocked and angry.
"You, who are you?"
Changsheng noticed the look on the head butler's face and secretly thought, he really came to the right place. He smiled and said, "Who are you?"
"I am Qiu Xing, the steward of the Mu family. What is your name?"
"What my name is has nothing to do with you!" Changsheng smiled slightly, pointed at the two people behind him and said, "The two of them are the ones applying for the boxer position, I just came to see the fun!"
The chief steward looked at Feng Jue and Xiao Wu suspiciously. He saw that their breathing was long and soothing, which was clearly a sign of superior internal martial arts. Then he looked at the two of them who were exceptionally young. He couldn't help but dwarf his stature. He clasped his fists and said, "You two are so powerful."
From the mountains?"
What kind of mountain? Yuan Hai, who was standing next to him, looked at the butler's expression and thought to himself, what are all these?
Feng Jue and Xiao Wu were also a little embarrassed, not because of the application as a boxer, but because of the thought of having to compete with this fifty-year-old man, who was an elite member of the Mo family, Xuan.
If the palace waiter bullied an outside martial artist, if this was reported back to the Mo Family Headquarters, would he still lose his dignity?
"What are you looking at me for?" Seeing Feng Jue and Xiao Wu all looking at him, and even San'er smiling, Chang Sheng said speechlessly, "Didn't you say you want to become a boxer in the Mu family?"
"Ah? Did we say this?"
"I haven't said it yet, don't you know?" Changsheng turned around and winked at the two of them!
"Ah, yes, we did say that!" Feng Jue stepped forward bravely, cupped his fists and saluted, "Well... Feng Jue, I want to come to your Mu family to be a boxer, please give me some advice!"
After listening to the conversation between Changsheng and Feng Jue, Qiu Xing became even more convinced that these three people were most likely inner sect masters from the Mo family. Could they have come to see the master and deliberately made fun of him?
He cupped his fists and said in return, "Stop joking, you three adults. I have only learned vulgar moves for a few years. How dare I fight with you two? I will take the three adults to see my master!"
"That's fine!" Changsheng replied calmly!
Chapter completed!
