Chapter 249
This time when he came back, he met a girl who matched his eyes, and he wanted to come to propose marriage.

The Second Young Master and the Third Young Master couldn't sit still. If the eldest son married a wife, if they didn't marry again, the emperor would take the opportunity to give them a marriage.

It will be the emperor's birthday in two days, so to avoid being given a marriage, he has no choice but to go all out and come to the door to propose marriage directly after preparing the dowry.

Miss Pei is not in good health, so Prime Minister Pei dare not be picky.

And Mr. Situ was afraid that his granddaughter would not be able to marry, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Mu Jiuqing raised her hand and pinched the center of her brows, and said, "Does my father know about this?"

The three shook their heads hurriedly, "Father is still in the palace, I don't know, so sister, you have to help us later."

He would definitely be annoyed if he didn't discuss such a big matter with his father.

Mu Jiuqing smiled and said, "Father knows that it's too late to be happy. Don't worry about this. What I'm worried about is that the betrothal gifts you all gave are the same. Looking back, there must be some opinions from Chenxiangyuan. The fourth son got married last year, and the betrothal gift is only half of yours. .”

"Hmph, what's her opinion? The money we spend is all from the palace, as well as our own salaries, and rewards from the emperor. If they want a rich dowry, they have the ability to earn it themselves."

Hearing this, the three of them sneered in unison.

They are not worried about this.

...

In Chenxiangyuan, the old concubine was really dissatisfied when she heard the news, and sent someone to invite them over.

Mu Jiuqing stopped them and said, "The three elder brothers are men, so it's not easy to meddle in the affairs of the backyard, so let me go."

"You don't have to go either. Let's go together again when Father, Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, and Fifth Uncle come back."

Mu Jiuqing blinked, "What are you going to do?"

"You'll know then."

...

When Prince Mu heard the news and came back from the palace, he scolded his three sons, but he was still very happy that they were finally willing to get married, so he didn't say much.

Then go to Chenxiangyuan together.

When I came in, I heard the third lady crying.

"Why is my son so miserable..."

Everyone in the room heard her crying, Lord Mu frowned and looked at the third master, "Can you take care of your wife?"

The third master looked embarrassed, glanced at the third lady, and said in a deep voice, "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 anymore.

After quieting down, Prince Mu went to the first seat and sat down with his robe lifted. He glanced at the teacup on the ground and curled his lips, "Why is the old concubine so angry?"

Mu Jiuqing and the others sat down silently, waiting to hear what the old lady had to say.

The old concubine looked at the prince and said displeasedly, "Does the prince know that the son and the others came to propose marriage with the dowry?"

Holding the teacup, Lord Mu lowered his eyes and said, "I know that the old princess is not happy that the eldest son and the two young masters are married?"

One sentence made the old concubine's face turn blue, and she didn't know what to say next.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "Grandmothers of course hope that their grandchildren will get married earlier, and the house will be full of children and grandchildren, but marriage has always been a matchmaker's word, and parents make decisions. How can they come to the door like the elder sons who make decisions by themselves? Marriage proposal? You can see for yourself in the whole capital, which family is like this?"

Prince Mu smiled lightly, glanced at Concubine Gu, and asked, "Your Majesty, what is the dowry standard for the prince's wife?"

Concubine Gu said truthfully, "When a son marries a concubine, the general dowry is no more than 6 taels, and the two sons are about 5 taels. This time, the sons and the others came to propose marriage without authorization. The dowry is 10 taels. According to this The amount, I don't know how much the seventh son will get married in the future, and how much the other sons will get married in the future."

The dowry gift of 10 taels can be said to be the only one in the capital, and the three young masters are worth 30 taels.

Her son is a concubine, will the palace give him 10 taels to marry a wife in the future?
Moreover, the palace can take out 30 taels in one breath, which shows that it is very rich, perhaps far more than this amount.

The annoying thing is that she and the old concubine have been in the palace for many years, but they don't know how much wealth the palace has.

Prince Mu looked at the woman and smiled, "So you all have opinions?"

"Don't dare..."

The crowd was busy.

The prince's mansion is the master of the house, who dares to have an opinion?
"The old concubine thinks this is unfair to the fourth son?"

The prince looked at the old princess again and asked.

The old concubine said, "Does the lord think it's fair? They are both sons of the Mu family. Even if there are differences between the concubine and concubine, the difference should not be too great."

Prince Mu laughed, didn't say much, just asked Uncle Zhang to report the number with the account book, and said, "The prince spent 6 taels in the accounting room, the second and third sons each spent 5 taels, and the rest It is all subsidized by the prince and the others themselves, the prince and the others have had salaries for many years, and they have been rewarded by the emperor, and the money they have accumulated can be given out as a dowry by their own ability."

After hearing this, everyone had different expressions and didn't know what to say.

The old concubine's face was even more ugly.

Lord Mu raised his eyes and stared at her coldly, "The old concubine should know that, the son and the others can earn the 10 taels by themselves, so what can I say? If any son of the Mu family can do the same , in the future, it will be a bride price of 100 million taels to marry a wife, and this king will not even say a word, so don't be jealous of others if you don't have the ability."

The merciless words made the old concubine and the third master look very embarrassed.

At the beginning, the fourth son and the eldest son went to the military camp to practice with the prince, but the fourth son couldn't bear the hardship, and he went back to the old princess when he was injured in the training. They cried and said that the military camp was too hard and they didn't want to go. Examination, take the road of civil servants.

But later the Royal Academy couldn't get into the exam, and the third master gave others for free, and he didn't send his son to the Royal Academy.

Who can blame this?

There was a moment of silence in the house where the sound of needles dropping could be heard.

Lord Mu took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and made a dull sound, "It's rare for everyone to gather together today, so I'll make an announcement. I've decided to separate the family. Please prepare the mansions for the third, fourth, and fifth brothers. Move out of the palace before the beginning of next month."

Hearing that the third master and the others were frightened, they stood up, "Brother, what are you talking about, mother is still here, how can we separate the family?"

"Well, why not? The eldest son and the others marry their own wives, and when the three new wives come in, they always have to live separately."

The old concubine suddenly said angrily, "I don't agree."

Prince Mu smiled, "The prince of the palace has the final say, and there is nothing the old concubine can do if she disagrees. Since you were young, you didn't like this prince, but you like the third brother the most. Then you can live with the third brother."

The old concubine stared blankly, never expecting him to be so ruthless, secretly clenched her fists and thought for a while, then said coldly, "Okay, then we will divide it today. Make it clear."

When the words fell, the four brothers and sisters of Mu Jiuqing immediately wanted to spray her with tea, and cursed secretly: Shameless!
But here is still left to the father, they had better not interrupt.

I believe my father can handle it.

Prince Mu couldn't help sneering, feeling cold in his heart, until now, she didn't care about his feelings at all, is this still her own mother?
