Chapter 21 The Third Brother Wants to Go into Business

That day, Mu Jingchao ran in from outside and said, "Little sister, let me hide for a while. Don't tell father that I'm here."

Mu Qingqing: "..."

What trouble has her third brother gotten into again?
A loud roar came from outside, "Mu Jingchao, get out here!"

General Mu, holding a mace in his hand and with his eyes wide open, stood at the gate of Mu Qingqing's yard and yelled inside.

Mu Qingqing looked at her master, and Master Lu nodded.

Mu Qingqing stopped doing the horse stance and stretched her arms and legs. She had been doing the horse stance a lot recently and she felt that her body was not so stiff anymore and she could do it for longer and longer periods of time.

Qinghe's progress was equally obvious, and he could at least hold on for an hour.

Mu Qingqing walked out of the yard, but her father refused to enter her yard because Master Lu was there.

"Dad, how did Third Brother offend you?"

Facing his daughter, he couldn't show his temper no matter how angry he was, and put the mace behind him.

"Qingqing, is your third brother in your yard? Ask him to come out. Dad has something to say to your third brother."

His own father Qingqing didn't know yet? The third brother would definitely give him a beating as soon as he came out.

"Dad, tell me what's going on first. I'll help you persuade your third brother."

The sons doted on their little sister very much, and Qingqing also sided with them.

General Mu slammed his mace into the ground and said, "It's your third brother who refused to join the army and insisted on doing business. It's ok for him to do small things on weekdays, but now he won't even join the army."

"All men in our Mu family must join the army to train, otherwise how can we defend our country?"

General Mu was breathing heavily and a startled maid brought out two chairs.

"There is no precedent in my family for giving up martial arts to pursue literature or business."

As for the third brother who was about to piss him off to death, he wished he could rush in and drag him out.

Mu Qingqing fell silent for a moment. General Mu followed his grandfather to the battlefield since he was a child and grew up on the battlefield. The same was true for his elder and second brothers.

General Mu defended his country and was loyal to the emperor. His two brothers made numerous contributions and became heroes in the eyes of the people.

But… a tall tree attracts the wind. The Mu family has three generations of loyal warriors. When it comes to the younger generation, the eldest brother is one of the best in martial arts among the younger generation. The second brother is good at strategy and has turned the tide of battle many times. The two of them are invincible on the battlefield. Together with General Mu…

How could such a noble family not make the royal family wary? If the eldest and second brothers were playboys, it would be fine, but they had the intention of defending their country and were loyal to the country.

If the third brother goes to the battlefield again, which emperor would not be afraid?

Mu Qingqing sighed. In the previous life, the Mu family was persuaded to take sides by her, which actually reduced the Royal family's fear of the Mu family. After all, Mu Qingqing was the weak point of the Mu family and could be manipulated.

But even so, after Chu Hongyuan gained power, he was still the first to attack the Mu family.

General Mu is a straightforward person, loyal to the emperor, so he naturally wouldn't think of these things, but his second brother has an IQ that is close to that of a demon, so how could he not see the situation clearly?
Mu Qingqing pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Dad, don't you like my third brother to be in business? But Qingqing thinks it's great. My third brother even promised to buy me jewelry and silk."

"If Third Brother doesn't want to go into business, why don't I go by myself?"

Mu Qingqing frowned in distress, "But won't my daughter be bullied if she works in business? But if I can't transfer silver, how can I buy jewelry?"

This matter can only be solved from one's own side, as General Mu said immediately after hearing it.

"Dad will give you money. Dad makes a lot of money every month!"

"But, Dad, you don't have enough money. The other young ladies in the mansion all have new jewelry, and Qingqing wants some too."

Mu Qingqing was not a short-sighted person. She said this just to make her father change his mind.

It was somewhat embarrassing to be told this by my own daughter.

It's over. The money earned by being despised by my daughter is not enough. After a moment of silence, "Why don't you let your third brother go into business?"

The tone was consultative, without any questioning of his son's opinion.

Mu Qingqing chuckled, hugged General Mu's arm and said coquettishly, "Daddy is the best."

General Mu was so confused by his daughter's coaxing that he didn't know what to do. Thinking of the third son still hiding in his daughter's yard, he snorted coldly, "Okay, I don't object, but tell him not to fall behind in martial arts!"

"Okay, Dad."

After watching them leave, Mu Jingchao came to her side silently and said, "Thank you, little sister. If it weren't for you, I, the third brother, would have been beaten to death by my father."

Then he patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, little sister, Third Brother will definitely make a lot of money for you."

With that said he quickly ran away. Looking at his cheerful figure, Mu Qingqing wanted to call out to her third brother and ask him if he was willing to give up joining the army.
The young men of the Mu family have always dreamed of defending their country since they were young. How could the third brother be an exception after being influenced by them?

I don’t know when it started, but my third brother stopped going to the martial arts arena, stopped paying attention to the war, and stopped following his father around and asking him to tell stories about the battlefield.

Everyone thought that the third brother turned to the business world because he liked business, but he remembered that when he was young, he always played the role of general when playing with his friends.

Mu Qingqing didn’t understand in her previous life, but now she sees it clearly, but she doesn’t know how to persuade her.

Yes, how could Mu Jingchao be willing to give up his dream of becoming a general? When he was still a child, his father was injured and almost died in battle. His two elder brothers were only junior generals at the time. There was chaos in the army, and many people wanted to replace General Mu.

The palace only sent someone to ask if they could recover, and didn't care about them at all.

Fortunately, General Mu managed to get through it on his own.

His second brother told him that the Mu Mansion was too ostentatious, with three generals in one mansion. If their father died, they would be the next to die soon.

If those people still had compassion, they would stay with their mother and two sisters, but life would still be difficult.

His second brother advised him to be a playboy, but Mu Jingchao refused and finally chose to do business. Merchants have the lowest status, but they can still make money. He can make a lot of money, and if something really happens in the future, maybe it can bring life to his mother and younger sister.

Unfortunately, Mu Qingqing in her previous life knew nothing and pushed the Mu family to destruction.

Except for General Mu, all the women in the mansion know about the good intentions of their brothers. Now that Mu Qingqing is added, there is no need to tell Qingqian, as she is afraid that she is hoping something bad will happen to the Mu mansion.

Mu Qingqing was always restless in the afternoon and was whipped several times by Master Lu.

She didn't want anything to happen to the Mu family and wanted to protect her family, but she was too young now and couldn't participate in many things.

In the evening, Master Lu decided to have a talk with her.

"After seeing your third brother and General Mu today, you seem to be worried."

The cold tone carried a hint of worry.

Mu Qingqing felt warm in her heart. This master was very good. Although he was cold and indifferent on weekdays, he would give her a massage every night and taught them the basics very attentively.

Mu Qingqing moved closer to her master and rested her head on his shoulder. "Master, you are so nice. You actually worry about me."

Mu Qingqing rubbed back and forth. Master Lu was furious and stretched out his hand to push Mu Qingqing's face away, "Sit still, it's so ugly!"

"No, Master!"

Mu Qingqing hugged Master Lu's arm, sticking to him like candy, and couldn't be pushed away no matter how hard she pushed.

Well, give up.

Master Lu gave up struggling and just let himself be held.

The two were silent for a while, and then Mu Qingqing spoke slowly.

"Master, what do you think of the Mu Mansion?"
