C121 Sharp Tongue

Old Master Mu's mood was very low. Even the butler didn't dare to say anything when he saw Mu Qingqing walking out slowly.

However, Old Master Mu didn't say anything as Mu Qingqing rubbed her neck. He turned around and walked towards the east.

Mu Qingqing raised her eyebrows and followed Old Master Mu towards the east in big strides.

Mu Mansion was indeed very big, and it would take me quite a while to walk into the courtyard. Although it was of a simple and unadorned style, Mu Qingqing could tell that the wood had been meticulously carved. Mu Mansion were indeed very rich, she guessed that the reason Old Master Mu did not destroy this ancient courtyard and build such a luxurious house, was probably because this was the foundation of Mu Family.

It was that same wooden room again. Mu Qingqing's heart sank. 'Could it be that he wanted to cut me open?'

Old Master Mu pushed the door and walked into the room that held the wood. The butler and the others were already standing ten meters away. Mu Qingqing was a little curious when no one was approaching this room.

"This, was done by you?" Old Master Mu pointed at a chair leg. It was engraved with the pattern of peach blossoms, but it wasn't finished. It was a semi-finished product.

"Yes." Mu Qingqing was baffled. Old Master Mu was no longer as cold as before. His tone was dignified, but there was no hostility in his tone.

Old Master Mu held the leg of the chair and gently caressed the half finished product made by Mu Qingqing. It was carved into a peach blossom by Mu Qingqing, and even though it wasn't meticulously polished, it already had a model of a peach flower.

Mu Qingqing had only made a chair leg out of a semi-finished product, but Old Master Mu could see the intention Mu Qingqing had towards this masterpiece.

"Does your hand still hurt?" Old Master Mu turned his head and looked at Mu Qingqing's left hand with a dignified gaze. That hand no longer looked swollen.

"Nothing." Mu Qingqing replied coldly.

"Don't blame me for being extreme. Grandpa has his own difficulties too." Old Master Mu sighed as he held half of Mu Qingqing's mold in his hands and looked at it over and over again.

Mu Qingqing chose to be silent. In this wood room, she could see a lot of wood, but she didn't understand Old Master Mu's reason for being so harsh on her.

"Anren has not returned to the Mu Family for so many years. This wood has been polished for a lifetime, and to him, it's just a decoration. You have to do better than him. " Old Master Mu didn't want Lili to follow Mu Anren's lead and give up her own career for what was called love.

Mu Qingqing remained silent. She didn't know how to answer Old Master Mu's question. Was the wood a decoration for Mu Anren? But didn't they still have Mu Ankang and Mu Antai in their Mu Family? As for what she wanted to do better than Mu Anren, this question was even more difficult. She had never done any craftsmanship before, so how could she know if Mu Anren was good or not?

Old Master Mu also did not say much as he used a plane to flatten the surface of the wood and processed Mu Qingqing's rough handwork.

Carpenter is a craftsmanship, needs to be careful, patient, also needs to endure hardships. Old Master Mu only needed an hour to finish this semi-finished product made by Mu Qingqing. During this hour, Mu Qingqing didn't even move a bit as she just watched Old Master Mu busy himself.

The materials that Mu Qingqing wasted earlier all turned into wood scraps. Old Master Mu was very careful with it and looked like he was taking the wood in his hand and treating it like a rare treasure.

Years crept up Old Master Mu's face, the wrinkles of varying depth appearing more and more dignified under the light of the same room. Mu Qingqing only stared blankly at Old Master Mu's face at first, but at this moment, her gaze had already shifted to Old Master Mu's hands.

After all, this was an ancestral art, and he was very skilled at polishing. The way Old Master Mu carved the other parts of the chair made Mu Qingqing even more amazed.

The skillful hand techniques, the dazzling carving, and when Old Master Mu finished putting the chair back together, Mu Qingqing was still standing blankly on the spot.

"I'll let your second uncle teach you how to use the paint." Old Master Mu clapped his hands and shook off the wood shavings.

Mu Qingqing was still looking at the chair that Old Master Mu had made. After it was polished, it became even smoother.

"I'm learning this?" Mu Qingqing was puzzled. Didn't Old Master Mu say that he was angry at her for wasting wood? Would he even let her learn to be a carpenter?

"Anren didn't tell you all these years?" Old Master Mu stood up straight. There was an old-fashioned look in his eyes, but he was not angry.

Mu Qingqing shook her head slightly. She had no idea what Mu Anren was going to tell her.

"You are someone who wants to inherit the Mu Mansion. I will teach you all the work of these carpenters." Old Master Mu didn't get angry. After all, the craftsmanship passed down by the ancestors must be passed down.

"Grandfather, I don't want to inherit it." Mu Qingqing did not beat around the bush. She had never thought about anything that did not belong to her. What she wanted was her own expanse of heaven and earth.

"Why?" Anger appeared in Old Master Mu's eyes. He was indeed the good daughter of Mu Anren, even her temper was the same.

"I have something I want to do." Mu Qingqing's tone was firm, leaving no room for herself.0

Old Master Mu asked with some displeasure, "What do you want to do?"

Mu Qingqing thought for a moment and decided not to tell Old Master Mu. The atmosphere in the room became extremely tense. Old Master Mu snorted coldly.

"You're already in the sky with your tail sticking out. You forget about Ben after taking the top scholar exam. Don't forget that your father started his career as a carpenter. As his daughter, you have the responsibility to shoulder the responsibilities of the family." Old Master Mu couldn't help but reprimand him. It was one thing for Mu Anren to be so stubborn, but to have such an intelligent and sensitive granddaughter as well.

"I have no obligation to undertake the family business, Grandfather." Mu Qingqing rebutted Old Master Mu's point of view. Naturally, it was Old Master Mu who was displeased.

Old Master Mu's gaze turned heavier, but Mu Qingqing didn't feel any sense of fear at all. On the contrary, she was sharp with her words.

"As a senior, shouldn't you support this junior's cause?"

After hearing that, Old Master Mu immediately thought of the oppression he had made on Mu Anren a few days ago. He couldn't help but be speechless. When his gaze landed on Mu Qingqing's face, he didn't sense her intentions in the slightest. However, Su Cuiyun was the only one who knew about that. Mu Qingqing was only a child, so how could she know about it?

"I believe that grandpa is a righteous elder and will support the cause of the younger generation. Father told me before that Grandfather is a strict person who took life seriously and his career seriously. He had to work for most of his life in order to establish today's Mu Family. " Mu Qingqing stopped and stared at Old Master Mu, waiting for his reaction.

"What are you trying to say?" Old Master Mu wanted to know Mu Qingqing's next sentence.

"I want to ask grandpa a question." The corner of Mu Qingqing's mouth curved into a faint smile, revealing a trace of innocence. Only Xiaoyun, who was standing invisible at the side, clearly knew what kind of hole Mu Qingqing was digging.

"Go ahead." Old Master Mu's expression slowed down quite a bit. It turned out that in Mu Anren's heart, his father was not considered to be a failure.

"After grandfather established his Mu Family, seeing his Mu Family standing firm one step at a time, and gradually becoming the leader of the furniture industry, doesn't that feel a lot of accomplishment?" Mu Qingqing asked with a light smile.

"Mm …" "That's right." Old Master Mu nodded subconsciously. He had a faint feeling of pride in his heart. After all, this was the work of his life. To be able to be watered down to this state, it was definitely something to be proud of. However, why was there a hidden meaning in Mu Qingqing's words?

"Then grandpa will cause trouble for dad's company, watching him gradually get rid of all obstacles, watching the company that he single-handedly founded almost go extinct, grandpa, do you really not feel any pain in your heart?" Mu Qingqing asked seriously with a smile on her face. She already knew that Mu Anren almost sold the company to Old Master Mu as a gift. And the person who secretly made things difficult for him was Old Master Mu.

"You …" Old Master Mu's eyes showed a trace of panic.

Mu Qingqing didn't even give him a chance to catch her breath before she said, "It was when you were on the phone with her that I accidentally overheard."

A look of astonishment flashed on Old Master Mu's face. He then said to Mu Qingqing with a stern face, "He is my son. Sooner or later, he should take over my job. I treated him like that for his own good, you little girl, what do you know. "

"So grandpa did it for my dad's sake." Mu Qingqing smiled coldly. "Then grandpa, do you know what my dad was thinking when he was growing up and didn't sleep all night?"

"What do you know about the Lord?" Old Master Mu had a straight face and was very unhappy.

"He didn't want to retreat back to the side of your big tree. He was considering whether or not he should go raise some money and start over. Starting with a small carpenter, making furniture and being a carpenter. " What Mu Qingqing said was indeed the truth. Even though Mu Anren was tortured to the point of losing his temper, he never thought of giving up his life.

Old Master Mu waved his hand and impatiently interrupted Mu Qingqing's words. I don't want to hear it. He can do anything he wants now, but you can't. "

Mu Qingqing's breathing stagnated, and her advice failed.

"His company is doing well right now, so I can't be bothered with it. You little girl, you can't do it. For a woodworker's work, you must learn, and you must also learn. Don't embarrass our Mu Family. " Old Master Mu said in a deep voice. He was quite shameless.

Mu Qingqing met Old Master Mu's dignified gaze. After a long while, she thought of how to deal with Old Master Mu.

"Why don't we do this, Grandfather. I'm good at holding a pen, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get a chisel. "How about …"

"Don't reason with me, you have to listen to me!" Old Master Mu's face darkened. He felt more and more that this girl was sharp tongued. If he didn't recover in time and find out that she was changing the topic of conversation, he really would have avoided her attack.

"I'm listening. I'm willing to learn carpentry." Mu Qingqing replied obediently.

"Alright then. From today onwards, I will begin to identify the materials from the wood. I will first learn how to identify the wood."

"Of course! However, Grandfather, I have a request. " Mu Qingqing said in time.
