The head of the Mu family

Chapter 137 Snow Appreciation Banquet

Upon arriving at the Mu residence, Huaisheng dismounted from the carriage in a proper manner.

Qi Luan lifted the curtain and said another sentence:

"We've been waiting for you to send an invitation to your residence, but we still haven't received one from the Mu family."

"Invitations will be sent out tomorrow. Please clean and tidy up these next few days, and once the sun comes out, we will invite you, the Crown Prince, and his wife."

Okay~ Looking forward to your post~

Before Qingyun could lend a hand, Huaisheng hurriedly jumped out of the car, and the family in the car smiled again.

The next day, Huai Sheng indeed sent out invitations, inviting the Marquis's wife and Jing Tang's children.

Thinking it over, I decided to invite my best friend's family, Third Master's family, and Blue Medicine God's family to come and enjoy the snow in ten days.

Huai Sheng thought for a moment and sent an invitation to Miss Liao as well. To his surprise, Miss Liao immediately sent someone to reply to the invitation:

I will definitely accept the invitation.

According to Uncle Li and the others, this is going to be the biggest snowfall of the winter.

The snow that fell this time has mostly melted; if it falls again, it will be close to the Lunar New Year.

Because there are children, Huaisheng plans to organize a snowman-building activity for them.

When I posted the thread, I specifically wrote that everyone should try to wear comfortable clothes and bring extra clothes for themselves and their children.

Huaisheng arranged the staff in the shop in advance so that several families would come in ten days.

The older staff members who are on duty open the shop a little later in the morning and close it a little earlier in the afternoon so they can come back for lunch.

One shift of warehouse staff comes back for lunch, and the other shift comes back for dinner.

Clean the house thoroughly, discuss the menu with Wanxing, Qingyue, and Uncle Dong in advance, avoid their dietary restrictions, and try not to repeat the same dishes at lunch and dinner.

They checked whether the earthworms in each area were safe, and each family brought their children.

Prepare all the necessary tools for building a snowman, including pitch-pot, archery, playing cards, and sieves.

I calculated the number of children, came up with a story about Tang Gui, and wrote the script for the murder mystery game in advance.

Early that morning, everyone arrived one after another. Jingtang was the first to arrive, and he came to greet the male guests.

After receiving the invitation, the people from Jingtang arrived and inquired about the matter of the male guests' reception. Originally, Huaisheng was indifferent to it:

"We're all people who know each other so well that we separate male and female guests at separate tables, but not in separate halls. Since there are no elders in the family, I have to stand at the door to greet guests."

Whether the male lead's family welcomes guests or not is actually irrelevant~

Jing Tang stamped her foot in frustration and said:

"You're already engaged~"

Am I your younger brother?

As the younger brother, I am also a host. How can I let my engaged sister greet the guests alone while I don't greet them myself?

Huai Sheng was also grateful for his thoughtfulness, so he said without ceremony:

"Then you'd better come early, and don't you dare slack off!"

The itinerary for the small banquet over the next two days has been finalized. I'll have Mu Su deliver it to you for review. Don't let anything go wrong!

"Hmph~ Don't worry~ I'm perfectly safe~"

Mu Huaisheng: Let's see how you handle things when your sweetheart arrives~

When everyone saw Jingtang and Huaisheng, siblings, greeting guests so warmly, no one thought much of it; they were just too familiar with each other.

The siblings then took turns greeting guests, with one leading guests inside and the other standing at the door to greet them.

Jingtang had just seen her mother and siblings inside when she turned around and came out, only to see Huaisheng leading Miss Liao and her siblings toward her.

Huai Sheng stared at the person opposite him, dumbfounded, his face instantly turning bright red. Huai Sheng smiled mischievously:

"Jingtang, you're so reliable, don't just stand there, go greet the guests at the door!"

"Oh~ Oh~ Hey~ Hey~"

After saying that, she hurriedly ran out with a blush on her face. They hadn't even arrived at the Blue Medicine God's house yet, so Huai Sheng led his men inside to greet the guests first.

"Miss Mu, I'm so sorry, but I came uninvited after learning that my sister had received an invitation."

"It was my oversight that Miss Liao attended the banquet alone."

Fortunately, Young Master Liao was very considerate; I should be thanking him.

"Miss Mu, you're too kind. We should all be more polite then."

As they were talking, they arrived at the main hall. The prince and Qi Luan were playing chess, while everyone else was talking inside. The brother and sister greeted everyone.

The children were playing in the side hall. Mu Su and her two companions, along with Shan Lai and Yao Meng, were taking care of the children and teaching them how to play murder mystery games.

The lady affectionately pulled Miss Liao, her close friend, and Madams Cai and Liu over for a casual chat.

After exchanging greetings, Young Master Liao went over to watch the young master and the others play chess.

When Madam Cai and Madam Liu learned that the children were the son and daughter of Liao, the Associate Privy Councilor, they exchanged a smile.

Upon seeing these two situations, the close friend asked:

"What's going on between those two so mysteriously?"

Let's not dwell on the past.

"What's up?"

"I'm getting curious about what you're doing."

The noblewoman, who was quite fond of Miss Liao, also asked curiously.

"It's an old story, but it's okay to talk about it."

My sister and I had been arranging a good marriage for Huaisheng.

Upon hearing that it was about him, and that it was still that kind of thing, Huai Sheng quickly made an excuse to go to the door to see if Lord Lan had arrived yet.

Madam Liu covered her mouth and smiled, then continued:

"Now that I'm engaged, why am I still shy?"

If there are no outsiders, you can talk to your sister-in-law and Sister Li.

I heard that the Liao family, who were then serving as Left Censor-in-Chief, had a clean and upright family tradition and wanted to have their fortunes told by Huaisheng.

The child was two years younger than Huai Sheng, but his family didn't care about their social standing.

Thinking about it, I'll have Third Master recognize Huai Sheng as his sworn sister. If this comes to fruition, it will be a beautiful story~

When Ms. Liao heard that it was related to her family, she also perked up her ears.

"At that time, the two of us made one condition."

If his family arranges a marriage between him and our Huaisheng, then no one is allowed to stay in Young Master Liao's room anymore.

After much deliberation, Mrs. Liao declined our offer and did not look at any more of our proposals.

"Oh dear~ that's such a pity about my older brother!"

As soon as Miss Liao uttered those words, she immediately realized she had misspoke, especially with Madam Li of the Marquis's mansion standing right next to her.

The lady took Miss Liao's hand, patted it gently, and said regretfully:

"Who can argue with that?"

After saying this, he exchanged a smile with Miss Liao. As they were talking, Huai Sheng and Jing Tang led Lord Lan and his family in.

The children were taken to a side hall, while the people inside arranged for them to play pitch-pot, chess, and archery.

Everyone started chatting and playing games until Qingxing called for lunch, at which point they all happily went to the dining room.

Huai Sheng Guan Zhao Qing Xing:

"Give the order to have everyone eat at staggered times, taking turns, and make sure no one is late!"

"Understood, Master."

When they arrived at the side hall, the children had played about half of their murder mystery game, and when they were called to eat, they were all still racking their brains.

Upon arriving at the dining hall, Huai Sheng, based on his experience, asked the craftsmen to make a small, rotating round table, which was then placed on the large round table.

There were no servants at the main table. Men and women were seated separately with a screen between them, so everyone could eat and chat at the same time.

The child sat at a small table, eating while pondering a murder mystery game script.

The personal attendants that everyone brought were all arranged by Qingyue and Qingchen to have a meal.

The lunch was a pleasant one for both the host and guests. After the meal, everyone cleaned their mouths and rested for a while before having tea.

Qingyue came in and reported with a smile:

"Master, everything is ready outside. Please come out, masters."

Huaisheng quickly called everyone to go outside to the courtyard. Each child was given a tool, and they started building a snowman.
