But at that time, the Mu family was already empty.
It costs money to settle down in the capital, money to travel in official circles, money to socialize with classmates, money to visit teachers and make friends with classmates...
The imperial examination is held every three years, and if you meet Enke, the time is even shorter, one after another. Therefore, it sounds very beautiful to be the top pick, but how many top picks or even number two, in fact, most of them are short-lived!
Peeling off those glamorous coats, it is just a struggle to find a seventh-grade green-robed position. For more than ten or twenty years, it is only a fourth- to sixth-grade blue-robed position!
If you just work hard, when will you be able to be promoted to the third rank or above, wear red robes and official uniforms, participate in real court affairs, and become a truly powerful person?
Therefore, it was true that he was shocked by Pei Yi at the beginning, but what he was more interested in was the mighty Marquis Mansion, which was in decline but had no one, but had a solid background, and he doted on his daughter as much as he wanted. Marrying this daughter would be his springboard.
This is also true. Pei Yi's dowry has made up for the large amount of money he lacked. Even the house he lives in now is the property deed of Pei Yi's dowry!
How to pay back?
Of course, after so many years, he has become a first-rank official minister, wearing a purple official uniform, and his family property has tripled compared to Pei Yi's dowry, but who thinks there is too much money? He doesn't want to give this evil girl a single penny!
This evil girl also said in public that her mother was married off. He said with a sullen face: "I will send someone to count the dowry and send it to you when the time comes. Today is a great day for my daughter and son-in-law. You will never
Are you forcing me to count now?"
Against the background of Chu Xinyuan's ink-colored brocade robe, his face became more and more like a crown jewel, but the cold nobility revealed in his bones made people look up at him. He said calmly: "For the engagement, the betrothal gift will be delivered, and the Gengtie token will be exchanged.
It’s completed, why is it so troublesome? Is it possible that Master Mu still has to go to the bridal chamber on the wedding day?”
He turned his head and said: "Cao Bei, go and ask the Weiwu Hou Mansion to send a steward to come with the dowry list of the eldest daughter of the Pei family!"
Mu Mingyuan: "..."
Weiwuhou Mansion and Mu Mansion have been strangers to each other for a long time. Naturally, no one was sent here today. But if he knew that he was going to ask for Pei Yi's dowry, what would the old man do?
mmp!
The King of Liang deliberately targeted him today.
He said solemnly: "Does Your Highness have to be here today? How about tomorrow?" Although it is only a day's difference, there are guests in the house today but not tomorrow.
So much so that he had to soften his tone and bow his head, with a hint of request in his tone!
Chu Xinyuan said calmly: "Although Lord Mu's family is rich, he certainly can't rely on the dowry left by his deceased wife to his daughter without paying it back. It's just a matter of time. But the princess is coming, and I'm worried.
I can only accompany you, but I am very busy, how can I be distracted by such trivial matters every day? Let’s finish it today!”
Today he is here to step on Mu Mingyuan's face, and Mu Qingyu is very cooperative. Why wait until tomorrow? What's the point of stepping on Mu Mingyuan's old face behind closed doors?
This is Mu Mingyuan’s reward for Dingyuan Hou Mansion and others plotting against him in Rizhaoxuan!
Cao Bei over there has already flown away.
Some of the visitors wanted to leave. After all, Mu Mingyuan was so embarrassed now. It was a glorious thing for his daughter to be engaged to the prince of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, but the prince of Qin was beaten like a dog.
, had just been helped down by a servant. And the daughter whom he had severed the father-daughter relationship was asking for a dowry from her biological mother.
Maybe in a while, someone will come to the Weiwuhou Mansion, which was mentioned many times after dinner in the capital more than ten years ago, and it will be a big bustle.
But they didn’t dare to look!
If you look further, they will all be vengeful by Mu Mingyuan, right? After all, they have witnessed his embarrassing scene as a first-class official of the imperial court!
