Chapter 249
When he came back this time, he met a girl he met and wanted to come to propose marriage.
The second and third sons couldn't sit still. If the prince got married and they didn't marry each other, the emperor would take the opportunity to give them a marriage.
Two days later, the emperor's birthday was to avoid being granted marriage, so he had to take the initiative and prepare a betrothal gift to come to the door to propose marriage.
Miss Pei is in poor health, so Pei Xiang dares not be picky anymore.
Mr. Situ was afraid that his granddaughter would not get married, so he had to nod his head to agree.
Mu Jiuqing raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, saying, "Does the father know about this?"
The three of them shook their heads quickly, "The father is still in the palace, I don't know, so sister, you have to help us later."
He would definitely be angry if he didn't discuss such a big thing with his father.
Mu Jiuqing smiled and said, "The father knows it's too late to be happy. Don't worry about this. What I worry about is that the betrothal gifts you give are the same. Go back and there must be an objection to the Chenxiangyuan. The fourth son got married last year, and the betrothal gift is only half of yours."
"Hmph, what can she have? The money we spend is from the royal palace, as well as our own salary and rewards from the emperor. If you want to have the ability, they will earn it themselves."
Hearing this, the three of them sneered.
They are not worried about this.
…
At the Garden of Cangxiang Garden, the old princess was indeed dissatisfied with sending someone to invite them over after hearing the news.
Mu Jiuqing stopped them and said, "The three brothers are men, and it's hard to get involved in the backyard. I'll go."
"You don't have to go. Let's go together when your father, third uncle, fourth uncle and fifth uncle come back."
Mu Jiuqing blinked, "What are you going to do?"
"You will know then."
…
When Prince Mu heard the news, he came back from the palace and asked his three sons to scold him, but he was still very happy that they were willing to get married, so he didn't say much.
Then go to the agarwood courtyard together.
When I came in, I heard the third lady crying.
"Why is my son so hard..."
The people in the room heard her crying. Prince Mu frowned and looked at Master San, "Can you take care of your wife?"
The third master looked embarrassed and looked at the third lady and said in a deep voice, "I'm enough, cry, cry, you know, what's the use of crying?"
After being scolded by the man, the third lady blushed and dared not howl again.
After calming down, Prince Mu walked to the head of the seat and raised his robe to sit down, looked at the teacup on the ground, and curled his lips, "Why are the old princess angry again?"
Mu Jiuqing and the others all silently found a seat to sit down, waiting to hear what the old lady said.
The old princess looked at the prince and said unhappy, "Does the prince know about the prince bringing the betrothal gift to propose marriage?"
Prince Mu held the teacup and lowered his eyes and said, "I know that the prince and the two princes are married. The old princess is unhappy?"
The old princess's face turned blue with just one sentence, and I didn't know what to say next.
After taking a deep breath, he said, "Of course, grandmothers hope that grandchildren will get married soon, and there will be many children and grandchildren. However, marriage matters have been the words of matchmakers since ancient times. Parents are the decisions of their parents, so how can they come to propose marriage like the prince and bring a betrothal gift beyond the specifications? You can see what family is like in the capital city? "
Prince Mu smiled faintly, glanced at Concubine Gu, and asked, "Criminal, how many bride gifts are they for marriage?"
Gu Fangxian said truthfully, "The prince's marriage to the prince's concubine, generally the betrothal gift is no more than 60,000 taels, and the two young men are about 50,000 taels. This time, the prince and the others took the initiative to propose marriage without authorization. According to this amount, I don't know how much the seven young men should marry in the future, and how much the young men in the other couples should get married in the future."
The betrothal gift of 100,000 taels can be said to be the only one in the capital, and the three young masters only have 300,000 taels.
Her son is a concubine. Will the royal family give him 100,000 taels to marry a wife in the future?
Moreover, the royal mansion can take out 300,000 taels in one breath, which shows that it is very rich, perhaps far more than this little money.
What annoying thing is that she and the old princess were in the royal palace for many years, but they didn't know how much wealth the royal palace had.
Prince Mu looked at the woman and smiled, "So you all agree?"
"Don't dare..."
Everyone said hurriedly.
The prince is in charge of the house, who dares to have an objection?
"The old princess thinks this is unfair to the fourth son?"
The prince looked at the old princess again and asked.
The old princess said, "Does the prince think it's fair? They are all young masters of the Mu family. Even if there are differences between legitimate and illegitimate children, there should not be too much difference."
Prince Mu laughed and said nothing more. He only asked Uncle Zhang to take the account book to report the number, saying, "The prince spent 60,000 taels in the account, the second and third sons each spent 50,000 taels. The rest were subsidized by the prince themselves. The prince and the others had their own salary for many years and rewarded by the emperor. The accumulated money can be fully provided by the betrothal gift based on their own ability."
After hearing this, everyone looked different and didn't know what to say.
The old princess looked even more ugly.
Prince Mu raised his eyes and glanced at her coldly, "The old princess should know. The princess and the others earned the 100,000 taels with their own abilities. What's the point of saying? If any young master of the Mu family could do this, he would only marry a betrothal gift of one million taels in the future. I would not say a word. If he doesn't have the ability, don't be jealous of others."
He spoke mercilessly, which made the old princess and the third master look embarrassed.
The fourth prince and the prince and the others entered the military camp to follow the prince to experience it, but the fourth prince couldn't bear the hardship. After being a little injured in the training, he went back to the old princess and the others to cry and say that the military camp was too hard and he was unwilling to go there. He had to work hard to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, take the scientific examination, and take the path of civil servants.
But later, even the Royal Academy failed to get into the Royal Academy, so the third master had a quota to send to others for free, and he did not send his son to the Royal Academy.
Who can blame this?
The quiet needle in the house can be heard.
Prince Mu took a sip of tea and put down the teacup, making a dull sound. "It is rare for everyone to gather together today. I will announce that I decided to split up my family and ask my third, fourth and fifth brothers to prepare their own mansions and move out of the palace before the beginning of next month."
Hearing the Yan, Master San and others were frightened and stood up, "Brother, what did you say? Mom is still here, how can you split up?"
"Well, what's wrong with this? The prince and his wife each got married. The three new ladies had to live separately when they entered the door."
The old princess immediately said angrily, "I don't agree."
Prince Mu smiled, "I have the final say in the royal family. There is no way for the old princess to agree. Since you were a child, you have not liked me. I like my third brother the most. Then you can live with me."
The old princess was stunned. She never expected that he would do so heartlessly. She clenched her fists and thought about it. A cold flashed in her eyes and said, "Okay, let's divide it today. You must distinguish how much money the royal palace has and how much origin there is."
After the words came, the four Mu Jiuqing and the four brothers and sisters immediately wanted to swear on her face and cursed: Shameless!
But it's better for the father to leave it here, so they'd better not interrupt.
I believe my father can do it.
