When the head of the Changsun family heard what Muchuan said, Fang Xin kept acting stupid.
He took a sip of tea and rolled his eyes around the two of them.
"Hey, Master Mu is already a grown man."
The head of the eldest grandson family looked warm-hearted.
Muchuan almost spit out the tea.
How old is Xin'er! Can the head of the eldest grandson family stop messing with the mandarin duck genealogy?
"Yes, Brother Mu, when will you get your wife?"
Xin'er also asked with a smile.
Muchuan gave her a helpless look, and the head of the Sun Family and the official family burst into laughter upon hearing this.
The few of them drank tea for a while. Muchuan already knew what he wanted, so he took Xiner and left.
The head of Changsun's family warmly welcomed Muchuan to come again next time, and he would introduce a good girl to him next time.
Muchuan left quickly.
Xin'er was a little confused along the way. She felt that Brother Mu asked a lot of questions, but none of them seemed to have anything to do with the Fang family.
But Brother Mu didn't say much, and Xin'er was sensible and didn't ask too many questions.
It was still early after leaving Changsun's house, so Muchuan went to Chang's house again.
The Chang family is not a big family, but it is only small in scale and not prosperous in population.
But the Chang family has lived in Chang'an City for several generations, and has been an indispensable force in the previous dynasties.
In the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu did not have the habit of killing the remnants of the previous dynasty, and these nobles were still safe and sound in Chang'an City.
These century-old families have deep roots in Chang'an City, are arrogant and difficult to communicate with, but once they are inside, the relationship is very strong and will not be easily broken.
This is also the reason why Muchuan chose to come to the Chang family.
Muchuan brought Xin'er to Chang's house. The attendant came forward and announced, and soon the housekeeper came out.
"I've met Master Mu!"
The housekeeper bowed to Muchuan and welcomed Master Mu and Xiner in.
Upon entering the living room, Muchuan and Xiner waited for a moment before someone came out from behind the screen.
"I'm so rude, I kept Master Mu waiting for so long."
The old lady of the Chang family said, her face was very serious and she was not angry or powerful.
He said very polite words, but there was no trace of humility in his words.
Muchuan knew that the other party only said such polite words out of consideration for his minister.
"Old Madam, you are very polite. I have disturbed you a lot. I hope you will forgive me."
Muchuan stood up early and said politely to the old lady.
When Xin'er saw Muchuan salute, she also obediently saluted the old lady.
When the old lady saw Muchuan and Xin'er both looking humble, her arrogance immediately disappeared.
"Don't be too polite, butler, let's take care of the tea."
The old lady ordered.
Muchuan waited for the old lady to sit down before sitting down.
"I wonder why Master Mu is here?"
The old lady said bluntly.
Fortunately, Muchuan had done some homework before coming here and knew that the old lady didn't like to beat around the bush.
So he quickly spoke.
"It's like this. This is Fang Xin next to me. Their Fang family's silk shop is the same silk shop that made orders for your house before."
"Some time ago, due to some things, the order was not completed, which caused your house to suffer losses. I am here to apologize."
After saying that, Muchuan asked someone to present the gift box.
Xin'er also looked at the old lady apologetically. In fact, she was a little afraid of this fierce old lady at first.
But now is the time to apologize. All her words and deeds represent the Fang family.
So Xin'er mustered up her courage and apologized to the old lady.
Although the old lady is old and has a bad temper, she still has a good impression of people who understand etiquette.
What's more, Muchuan and Xin'er sent gift boxes in the name of apology.
"Master Mu, you are so polite. What is trivial is not worth mentioning."
The old lady said with a smile, raised her hand and ordered someone to collect the gift box.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of opening it, Muchuan also understood the temper of the old lady.
And he didn't think that the Indian incense he sent would make the old lady's eyes shine.
It'll be fine once you get the idea.
"I still have something I would like to ask the old lady to teach you."
Muchuan took advantage of the old lady's happiness and said quickly.
"oh?
About the missing boy from the Fang family?"
The old lady said.
"Does the old lady know where my brother is?"
Xin'er asked anxiously.
"I just know this better than others."
"Your brother was taken away by the Imperial Guards, but it was not the Imperial Guards that imprisoned him."
The old lady shook her head and said.
Muchuan was surprised by the old lady's frankness.
In fact, he didn't intend for the old lady to say this.
He already knew this, and even if he didn't know it, he wouldn't expect someone like the old lady to tell him.
Every family has its own way of survival, but the only way is not to cause trouble to itself.
When you should not know, you must know and not know.
"Old madam, do you think so?"
Muchuan was afraid that the old lady would talk too much if she continued, so he quickly gave her a hint.
"I'm old, what should I be afraid of?"
The old lady waved her hand, not caring about Muchuan's caution.
Xin'er wanted to hear more. When Muchuan said this, she knew that there were some things that she couldn't know from the old lady, so she was very sensible and stopped asking further questions.
Muchuan had no intention of causing trouble to the Chang family, so he changed the topic.
"Then I wonder if anyone else came to your house to place orders after what happened at Silk Village?"
Muchuan asked the same question as the Changsun family.
"It seems there are, there are several."
But the old lady couldn't remember which ones they were.
It is always up to them to personally select what kind of partners their Chang family needs.
I generally don’t choose the ones delivered to my door.
The housekeeper knows that the old lady usually just glances at this kind of thing and then forgets about it.
"Old madam, you only took a glance at it. There are the Hong family, the Chen family, and the Wu family."
The butler said thoughtfully.
"Oh, yes, you still have a good memory."
The old lady said with a smile.
"The old lady worries too much."
The housekeeper quickly said with a smile.
"This Chen family is Chenjiazhuang outside Chang'an City?"
Muchuan asked.
"Yes, Chenjiazhuang, their family has been here before, and they came again after the Fang family's accident."
"It's the first time for the Hong family and the Wu family to come here, but they just don't know. How do they know that no one has fulfilled our order?"
“We didn’t publicize it to the outside world, either?
The two of them have never been here before."
The housekeeper expressed his doubts. Whether it was useful or not was not his concern.
Muchuan felt that either the Wu family and the Hong family were doing the same thing as Chenjiazhuang, but Master Du's godson was behind them.
Either the Wu family and the Hong family just happened to be together, and Master Du's godson has only one Chenjiazhuang behind him.
But regardless of whether he is related to the Hong family or the Wu family, Master Du's godson's final fox tail must be in Chenjiazhuang.
After getting the exact information about Chenjiazhuang, Muchuan took Xiner and left Chang's house.
The old lady didn't do much to persuade them to stay and asked the housekeeper to send them out.
As soon as Xin'er went out and got on the carriage, she patted her chest in fear.
"The old lady is so fierce! Much more fierce than my grandmother!"
