Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

When the Qiao family heard that Mu Xinghe had been promoted, they were naturally delighted. He was only nineteen years old, but he had already reached the fifth rank. He was truly a young and promising man.

Qiao Lian'er asked the servants to prepare a good family dinner, and not to invite any outside guests, trying to keep a low profile.

When Mu Xinghe becomes a fourth-rank official, he will be able to attend the morning court to meet the emperor, and her plan will begin from that time.

Yes, she wanted to participate in politics and gain certain power over internal affairs, and Mu Xinghe was one of her entry points.

It's not just because of her promise to Pei Er, more importantly, she wants to make her life more meaningful, to have more things in her hands, and to give the Qiao family a better future.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Everyone has ambitions, as long as they strive for them through fair means.

Qiao Xier also took two sips of wine. Her beautiful cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes were filled with tenderness and satisfaction. She felt very proud to have such a husband.

Dayong and his men are still on the road. The troops have been allocated horses. They are already halfway through the journey and will arrive in less than half a month.

The Mu family raised the farmland for ten days and then began to sell the house and the land. They sold all of it, not leaving a single acre.

The villagers of Datian Village were surprised by such abnormal behavior.

"What are you doing? Have you been pecked silly by geese? Sell your house and land. Where will you live and what will you eat?"

The way the Mu family looks at the villagers has changed. It is a condescending look, full of contempt for the lower class people.

"What? Sell it and go to the capital. After all, the Mu family has an official in the capital, so of course we have to go and live with him. What's the point of a house in the countryside? Xinghe has hundreds of houses, and even if each member of the Mu family gets several, it won't be enough."

"Maybe each of us can run several shops and do business." said the eldest son of Boss Mu.

"Not to mention that Xinghe is an honest and decent man. Even if he had these, would he give them to you? You have forgotten how you treated him in the first place, and you still have the nerve to ask for benefits from him." The villagers mocked.

"It's normal for a family to have conflicts and frictions. Your family is always quarreling. Mu Xinghe's roots are in the Mu family. He can never change the fact that he is a member of the Mu family. Without the Mu family, there would be no him. If he dares to ignore us after we arrive in the capital, humph, then that will ruin his future. He will have to worship us as his ancestors."

Seeing the Mu family being so shameless, the villagers couldn't help but feel indignant.

"Shame on you for coming up with such an idea! Everyone, remember this: we won't buy the Mu family's house and land no matter how cheap they are."

"Yes, we won't buy it. We won't give them the opportunity to go to the capital and cause trouble for the Mu and Qiao families."

The villagers said one after another.

The Mu family was still counting on the villagers to take over, but when they saw the villagers so united, their faces turned pale.

"It doesn't matter if they don't buy. There are people from other villages and people in town. We won't have trouble selling our land."

The Mu family took action again.

The wealthy people in the town liked to buy land, and half of it was sold in just one afternoon.

By the next day, all the houses and land were sold. The Mu family reluctantly bought three cheap carriages, and the whole family of more than 20 people went to the capital together.

"If we let them go, they will definitely be beaten to a pulp by Jian'er. When they come back, the house and the land will have been sold, and there will be no place for them to stand here."

"That's right, we're just waiting to see them make a fool of themselves."

Everyone in the village has seen Qiao Jianer's abilities. If the Mu family dares to cause trouble in front of her, it is tantamount to being stubborn and asking for their lives.

General Guan's troops arrived. The troops that were originally transferred away were the city defense troops in the south of the city, so the troops were going to fill this vacancy.

The capital city has three lines of defense. The outermost circle is guarded by the city defense army, which is divided into four directions: east, west, south and north, with 30,000 people in each direction. The safety of the urban area is protected by the garrison army, which has 300,000 people. The imperial palace is guarded by the imperial guards, which has 70,000 people.

In other words, there were 490,000 soldiers guarding the imperial power, with layers of protection, making it as solid as an iron wall.

General Guan's subordinates originally had 20,000 men, and later he incorporated some small nearby troops, making a total of 30,000 men.

Six thousand men were left to Chu Zhuo, twenty-four thousand were brought to the capital, and more than ten thousand were left behind from the transferred troops, totaling thirty-five thousand men.

Because of the change in the number of people, Chu Zhuo's position was vacated and the troops were redistributed.

Each man in the Qiao family was in charge of 5,000 people and was a General of the Central Army. The other 20,000 people were directly commanded by General Guan.

Coming to the capital to serve in the city defense army is a rare opportunity for many foreign garrisons. Each person is in charge of more troops and has been promoted.

After the troops settled down, Guan Yuqin took her two children to look for a place to rent.

The housing prices in Beijing are expensive. My savings are not small, but not enough, so I can only rent a house for now.

She planned to rent a house and then visit the Qiao family.

Rent a place closer to Qiao’s house so that it will be easier to move around in the future. It doesn’t matter if it’s a little more expensive.

Guan Xue and Guan Song followed her lively: "Mom, when can we see sister? We miss her so much."

The journey was long and bumpy, and everyone was exhausted. The two children were initially listless, but when they arrived in the capital, they were so excited by the dazzling prosperity and the new and interesting things everywhere.

Guan Yuqin smiled and said, "After we rent a place to stay, we can go see your sister. It won't take long. The capital is so big, it's easy to rent a house."

Otherwise, the Qiao family would ask her if she had a place to stay and might even come to help her. She didn't want to trouble the Qiao family.

The two children looked forward, their eyes lit up: "Sister, sister is here."

Only then did Guan Yuqin see that Qiao Jianer had appeared in front of her without her noticing.

She squatted down and the two children rushed over.

Guan Xue threw herself into Qiao Lian'er's arms, and rubbed her little face against her, feeling extremely happy. Guan Song was already eleven years old and had grown up. Standing next to Qiao Lian'er, he was also very excited.

"Jian'er, we just arrived. We plan to take a look first and then visit you later." Guan Yuqin was a little embarrassed.

Qiao Lian'er stood up. Guan Xue was still holding her hand, refusing to let go. Guan Song also looked up at her with admiration.

For a moment, Qiao Lianer's heart melted.

"Miss Guan, are you looking for a place to live?"

She just noticed that Guan Yuqin was looking at house rental signs everywhere.

"Yes, I'm almost there. I'm looking for a place close to you guys so it will be more convenient in the future."

"Jian'er, go home first. I'll come find you when you're better."

Qiao Lianer pulled Guan Yuqin to a place with few people, then took out a box from his sleeve and handed it to her solemnly.

"Miss Guan, this is the 16,000 taels your family gave me back then. I've converted it all into banknotes. You can use it to buy a house. After all, you're going to live here for a long time, so don't rent it."

Just now, Guan Yuqin was looking at rental signs instead of information about selling the house, which means she doesn't have much money left. The compensation she gave to the Qiao family is already the Guan family's main savings.

She thought that since the Guan family was willing to pay so much compensation, they must have at least 100,000 taels of property. It turned out that she was too optimistic.
