Chapter 589 Why didn’t the high official tell you where he was?
The Guan family used their most important property as compensation because they really felt sorry for Qiao Yunni and tried their best to make up for her losses.
Guan Yuqin quickly pushed the box back when she heard it: "No, this is compensation for your mother and your Qiao family. Only if you accept it, our Guan family will feel at ease."
She sighed, "At the beginning, I was too young and inexperienced. I trusted people too easily and didn't realize that my decision hurt a woman who was waiting for me at home. I am guilty."
"Since you are guilty, then atone for your sins."
"No, Miss Guan, you are not wrong. You are also a victim. The one who is wrong is Song Lao San. He has been beheaded to pay for his sins. The grudge is settled."
"This money originally belonged to your Guan family. Take it. Now that you've arrived in the capital, it's best to have a stable place to settle down. Renting a house is not a long-term solution. Even if you don't want it, you should think about Guan Xue and Guan Song."
Guan Yuqin turned her face to the side, tears in her eyes. She tried hard to hold back the tears, but before she knew it, her cheeks were covered with tears.
"Sister, why are you crying? Don't punish yourself with other people's mistakes. I have let it go a long time ago, and now I feel very different. You should also not hold a grudge." Qiao Yunni also came over and gently patted Guan Yuqin on the back.
"Sister Yunni." Guan Yuqin's voice trembled: "You must get better and better. I want to see you well, only then can I feel at ease."
Qiao Yunni had a smile on her face and a peaceful expression: "I am fine every day, without any worries."
Guan Yuqin quickly bought a medium-sized house facing the street with a small garden at the back, spending 12,000 taels. It was only one street away from the Qiao family.
General Guan came back in the evening. He originally thought that the house was rented, but when he heard that it was bought, he couldn't believe it.
"Our family only has a little over two thousand taels, how can we afford a house in the capital?"
Unless you buy a house in a remote suburb, you will never be able to buy such a good location, and it is also a house with three entrances and three exits and a garden, which can accommodate four generations of the family.
Guan Yuqin told General Guan about the return and compensation of Qiao Jianer. General Guan was silent for a long time and sighed in a deep voice.
"We, the Guan family, will always remember the Qiao family's kindness. The men of the Qiao family are in our army. As long as I can support them, I will spare no effort."
General Guan knew very well how difficult it was to have a house to settle down in the capital. His family had only 20,000 taels of property in total. After compensating the Qiao family with 16,000 taels and using some of it over and over again, he only had about 2,000 taels left. He didn't know when he would be able to afford a house in the capital.
The Qiao family's return of the money was like a blessing.
Butler Chai came and said that the banquet was ready and invited the Guan family to come and eat.
Everyone gathered around the table. Since the troops had just arrived and needed a few days of rest, they drank heartily and the whole room was filled with the aroma of wine.
Qiao Jianer looked at the smiles on everyone's faces. The warm lights in the room cast a soft glow on everyone's faces, which was so warm.
She couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
I hope it can continue like this.
In the next few days, Qiao Jianer bought a few shops for Ling Yin and his second aunt Wan, and registered them all under their names.
Guan Yuqin had money now, so she opened a shop to do small business, next to the Qiao family's shop.
After the rest period, the city defense troops guarding the south wall began training and everything got back on track.
It’s just different from before. Every night the Qiao family eats together. The feeling of a family reunion makes people feel peaceful and extremely satisfied.
The top-quality goods in Qiao Jianer's hands are supplied to the royal family, noble families, and wealthy people. Other ordinary goods are sold in the lower-end market and supplied to various shops under the name of the Qiao family. They move forward in parallel, firmly controlling the upper and lower markets and making a lot of money.
After days of continuous training, the soldiers of Qingfeng's original territory have mastered various formations and become elite soldiers. They are ready to go to the battlefield as long as they are needed.
Mu Xinghe's career was also going smoothly.
In all aspects, the Qiao family is growing bigger and stronger, and is at its peak.
But the more this is the case, the more they need to keep a low profile. The Qiao family members are all very humble, never ostentatious, and never put on airs. In a place like the capital, only by being humble and knowing how to be respectful can one go a long way.
The Mu family's carriage traveled on the road for more than half a month and finally arrived in the capital.
Although they passed through many cities along the way, some of them were very large and breathtaking.
But when the appearance of the capital city appeared before his eyes, he was still shocked and speechless.
After a long while, Mu Lao San finally spoke: "The capital is such a great place. No wonder the Qiao family moved here. No wonder Mu Xinghe didn't want to go back to his hometown to take a look after becoming an official here."
"If it were me, I would have the same idea." Mu Lao Si's face was also full of longing.
"The capital is the dream of all the people in Daze Country. Being able to buy a small courtyard or a small shop in the capital can change the fate of eight generations of descendants." Mu Taoxian said.
"But our Mu family has Xinghe. We can live in a large house with several entrances and do business in a big shop. Maybe we can also own a shop building." said the wife of Boss Mu.
"It's true that when one person succeeds, everyone around him benefits. It has saved our Mu family so many detours." Mu Laosi's wife sighed.
Now the Mu family regarded the fantasy as an established fact, and everyone was very excited.
"Let's go into the city and find Mu Xinghe. Ask him to settle our whole family down." Boss Mu waved his hand.
Since Li Zheng Zhao refused to give them a pass, the Mu family went to find the garrison commander and spent money to get a pass. They had a smooth journey and naturally entered the capital smoothly.
The capital city is so huge that the whole family was dazzled and didn’t know where to go.
Mu Laoer's wife stopped a passerby and asked, "Excuse me, where is Mu Xinghe's home?"
The passerby looked confused and responded in a Beijing accent: "Who is Mu Xinghe? I don't know him."
"How could I not know him? He is a member of our family and a high-ranking official in the capital. You are too ignorant." Boss Mu's eldest son sneered.
Passersby were amused when they heard this: "Why, even a high-ranking official didn't tell you where he is? Are you such failures that you're avoiding him now that he's rich?"
Most people in the capital are well-educated and quick-witted. This sentence made the Mu family members turn pale in the face.
The Mu family pulled another passerby over to ask.
"I don't know them. We haven't even met those officials, so how would we know their names? However, most of them live in the city center. You should go to the city center."
