Left Lady had originally wanted to reject her offer, but when he heard her words, he did not reject her anymore. He decided to turn this into silver and add it to the wedding wine when he paid for the gift.
After a few more days had passed, Mu Jinzhi selected a auspicious day, and invited Left Lady to personally accompany him as he brought Naji Li on a trip to Princess Mansion.
It was said that the discussions of the people who said that Mu Jinzhi had a soft meal had disappeared in an instant, and the people who said that he had a set of clothes that was only worth tens of thousands of gold threw them out just like that. If this was still called having a soft meal, then those who talked casually would just find a noodle roll and hang it.
It was the next day of the competition, but everyone was secretly staring wide-eyed, as they saw Mu Jinzhi enter the Princess Mansion empty-handed. Everyone waited until after lunch to see the eunuch from Princess Mansion, who was full of smiles, and politely sent Mu Jinzhi out. As for what the betrothal gift was, no one knew, but everyone was clear that the princess must have received some sort of incredible object.
Ku Heli cold pond, when the heating furnace is purple smoke.
Outside was the carriage riding on the new ice, but inside the Mu family compound, there were many lanterns and decorations, it was extremely joyous, and Princess Jing'an had already become Mu Rousang's eldest sister-in-law. The first time they came back, it was to see Mu Rousang getting married.
As Mu Rousang's village at the outskirts of the capital became more and more lively, Fu An and Fu Rong were the elders that they brought from the south. They were all intelligent and capable, managing Mu Rousang's farm well.
Ge Xian Mi, the rouge rice, the jasper rice, the purple corn, and more were pulled towards the house. Yang Zixuan had also transferred some of the big deer, deer, and green sheep to the house.
Mu Jinzhi looked at the cart full of rice, his heart filled with joy. He said to the Princess Jing'an beside him: "My sister is extremely good at taking care of farming, I know that you have a farm in your dowry. If there is anything you don't understand, you can just send your wife over to ask her.
That being said, no one could hear the doting tone in his voice.
As a new wife, Princess Jing'an looked at the carts of top-grade food and her heart couldn't help but to move. The Mu Family was much richer than her mother had guessed, but the Mu Family's foundation was much weaker.
"Darling, you really are a pampered little sister. My eyes are burning with envy when I look at you."
Mu Jinzhi looked around, seeing that no one was paying attention, he boldly extended his hand and pinched her small hand. Princess Jing'an's face was flushed red, her eyes revealing her joy: "Husband, there's someone here!" She struggled a bit with her small hands, but when she saw that he still did not let go, the redness on her face quickly spread in all directions.
"Yushi, don't be angry. I only have such a close relative, so naturally, I have to be more pampered. Once she leaves the house, she will no longer act coquettishly in front of me."
The originally somewhat sour Princess Jing'an remembered that the Princess Huaiqing had also said the same thing, and unconsciously felt a sense of warmth in her heart. Thinking about how she could not be so free once Mu Rousang became her new wife, while she herself had no in-laws, and how her sister-in-law was about to be married off, she felt that her marriage was the right choice.
"How could I? I was just envious. My two elder brothers are older than me, so naturally, they would not be as intimate as you two siblings."
"I will naturally cherish you in the future!" Mu Jinzhi really liked the Princess Jing'an. After marrying into their family for less than ten days, she had managed to tidy up the entire household. In front of him, she was acting like a little bird following a human, and he loved her even more.
"Mm. I heard my mother say that she wanted me to bring Dong Xue as an aunt after coming here." Princess Jing'an must be feeling uncomfortable, not willing to part with the girl beside him.
Mu Jinzhi was startled, then said: "Dong Xue was gifted to me by my grandmother, but I do not dare to casually let her go, and since grandmother has asked about this matter, she always feels that I cannot drag it out, making my grandmother unhappy. Other than opening her face, there is no other way, she is a pitiful woman, and if I do not give her face, she will suffer the consequences of her actions."
"Even so, let's make her an aunt. Take good care of her every month. This concubine will not be short of food and clothes for her." Princess Jing'an's intentions were very clear. He just needed to raise Dong Xue, but the family had to keep her safe and sound so that half her body would be covered in food and clothing.
Mu Jinzhi had no better way, so he said: "Let's do as you say, she has nowhere else to go, in the end, we will still have to give our grandmother face, and not hurt her heart."
Since ancient times, being loyal and filial was a dilemma. He, Mu Jinzhi, had to use filial piety to treat Princess Jing'an unfairly, and if he was loyal to Princess Jing'an, he would become an unfilial son.
The Princess Jing'an felt much more comfortable hearing this, unknowingly, she also gave a sweet smile that dazzled Mu Jinzhi's eyes.
"Sister's dowry is not too far off from Make up's, it's just that there's a little less in the courtyard, as the saying goes, good things come in pairs, but not if I give Make up another one, it's also in Xiang'er's bun alley."
Mu Jinzhi was indeed short on cash this year. He had married before and married later, but other than squeezing out a little from the silver he had earned, he had also added a hundred mu of food from a small village outside the capital to feed his family. However, he could not take out a single silver coin.
"Yushi, thank you!"
Princess Jing'an smiled slightly. She was just a maid, she had her methods to tie Mu Jinzhi to her side.
"It's better to send someone to tell my sister quickly. I wonder what she plans to do with the rice."
Mu Jinzhi immediately called for his wife to come over and send her to the inner courtyard to deliver the letter.
The two Cai Yi Pavilion s under her name were split into half and half to help her make the new clothes. The new clothes for each of the four seasons were forty sets, the large being the curtains, the small being the rewards for each set of clothes.
She also brought lass to the Fragrance Court to create her personal clothes. Chun Yan walked out from the inner room and said, "Miss, there are already more than 40 undergarments and a box of them already exists. After doing all this today, there's no need to do anything else."
"Miss, why did you cut all those fine materials into dresses? Wouldn't it be better to keep them for later to make new styles?"
Mu Rousang pursed her lips into a smile, and said: "Hmph, I do not want to be taken advantage of by others, even if I have to do a good job and raise bugs there, I would still be happy."
Aunt Liu said from the side, "Miss doesn't need to be like this, I still need the good materials to accompany my family."
"Then we should leave two of the best materials to fool around with. We can't let the people of the house of the Marquis get away with it." Mu Rousang coldly replied.
This time, she was going to slap Madame Loyal Marquis hard on the face. Then, she took off Marquis of Loyalty's face and told everyone in the capital to take a look at her.
Perhaps Aunt Liu knew what she was thinking, and said: "Young lady should not be too excessive, we must grasp this speed well, in the end, the Young's Clan is still a continuous stream of branches."
"Aunt, I would not do such a thing as killing an enemy and killing myself eight hundred times over. I will make her feel aggrieved, but not able to say it out loud." The more Mu Rousang thought about it, the happier she became. Yang Zixuan could not bear that humiliation for her, so it was time for him to settle the score.
"Miss, Young Master sent word that all the rice in the manor has already entered. He asked if the young lady wants to bring them all into the manor or if she has any plans." Chun Yan picked the curtain and came in to answer.
"First tell my brother to keep 100 Jin of rouge rice, 100 Jin of jade-green rice, 30 Jin of fragrant glutinous rice, and 100 Jin of purple corn, all of which are recorded in that general ledger. This will be good for checking accounts at that time. Also tell him that the other rice has entered his shop this year!"
Since Mu Jinzhi wanted to marry the princess, he naturally couldn't hold back. Thus, Mu Rousang took out a sum of money from the Cai Yi Pavilion's income and rented a rice shop for himself. He also hired a manager specializing in rice and started the rice business.
"Miss, I'm afraid the young master will not agree." He was very familiar with these two siblings.
Mu Rousang pondered for a while, then said: "If he said anything, you can tell him, after he sells the rice, I can change it into silver and help me deposit it in the bank.
Another five or six days had passed, and it was finally the day of the dowry ceremony. Madam Hou had specially woken up early today, and took advantage of the time when Marquis of Loyalty was around for breakfast to laugh merrily.
Yang Zixuan also had a very respectful appearance, he had long since withdrew his sharp claws and replied: "For the matter of my marriage, I've made mother worry a lot." It was all about scheming.
Marquis of Loyalty was initially dissatisfied with Mu Rousang, but because of Zuo Renyou, the left assistant minister in charge of assessment, he did not bring up the matter of annulling the engagement.
Yang Zixuan didn't wish for Mu Rousang to face many aspects of injustice after entering the door, so he said: "Father, Mother, today is the wedding day of your son's bride. Your son still wants to invite the two elders to watch it too."
Mu Rousang wanted to slap Madame Loyal Marquis on the face, how could he not cooperate?
Marquis of Loyalty's hand that was carrying the tea paused for a moment. Looking at Yang Zixuan's hopeful eyes, he turned his head towards Madame Loyal Marquis unnaturally and asked: "What does Madam think?"
Yang Zixuan's words were exactly what she wanted, there was no reason for his to be unhappy, he laughed: "Should we go take a look, the bride is young and weak, we seniors should look out for her more."
The Marquis of Loyalty said: No wonder you have to address the young mistress as' virtuous and virtuous', Xuan'er, this disappointing child, has troubled you to such an extent.
"He's already his own child, how could he waste his time thinking about such things? I just hope that he can make peace with her in the future!" Madame Loyal Marquis spoke like she was her son.
At this moment, a servant came in to report that the carriage carrying the dowry was about to arrive at the mansion and had sent a servant to deliver the letter.
Marquis of Loyalty thought for a moment, Mu Rousang was compatible with Yang Zixuan, and was slightly lacking in terms of status. She was hesitating, when Madame Loyal Marquis pushed him, and said: "Master Hou, let's go take a look at New daughter-in-law's dowry. No matter what, it is on our side, and our Xuan'er's intentions."
