558. Chapter 558 The Mu Family: The visitor is not kind [4]
"You're hit, the young master is hit!" Bai Wei ran over to the sound of firecrackers and said to Mu Jieyu and Mu Jieyan, "The young master is hit."
"What's the ranking?" Mu Jieyu asked impatiently.
"Young Master is the third one." Bai Wei beamed with joy.
"Really?" Mu Jieyu said in surprise.
After Bai Wei nodded firmly, Mu Jieyu said to Mu Jieyan: "Congratulations, brother. Dad will be very happy when he finds out. Let's go out quickly and don't let the person who brings the good news wait."
Mu Jieyan smiled and let Mu Jieyu pull him out.
Mu Jieyan was in the top three again in the exam, and Jiayuan was bustling for a while. Although Mu Zhong, who had been keeping a low profile since coming to Beijing, was happy and relieved, he still kept a low profile and did not hold a banquet to celebrate. For those who heard the news and sent gifts and congratulations
The front foot accepted it with a smile on his face, and the back foot returned a slightly heavier gift in return.
But at this moment, I don’t know if Mu Jieyan came in and made a mistake. One after another, the matchmakers who promised to marry came into the Mu family’s door. The Mu family did not have a hostess who was in charge of the family, so everything naturally fell into place.
Mu Jieyu was so tired that he felt exhausted.
If the marriage proposal hadn't come from a very low family background, and it was related to the official careers of Mu Jieyan and Mu Zhong, Mu Jieyu would have really wanted to close the door and shut them all out.
On this day, Mu Jieyu sent another matchmaker away. He stretched out his hand to rub his sore temples. Before he could drink the tea from Bai Ji, Bai Wei walked in again.
"Just say I'm not feeling well and won't see guests!" Mu Jieyu was really tired of dealing with it. When he saw Bai Wei come in, he said tiredly.
"Miss, Mrs. Fu Guogong is here." Although Bai Wei felt sorry for Mu Jieyu, the visitor had a special status, so Bai Wei had to remind her.
Mu Jieyu raised his head when he heard this and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
"Mrs. Fu Guogong." Bai Wei repeated it again.
"Humph, you're finally here?" Mu Jieyu snorted coldly, "Bring her to the main hall, I'll be there in a moment."
"Yes." Bai Wei took the order and stepped back.
Mrs. Fu Guo Gong is naturally the woman who was famous in Yongjing back then. In terms of seniority, she is also Concubine Hui’s cousin and a member of the Jiang family. The reason why this woman became famous in Yongjing thirty years ago is because
Because she was the legitimate daughter of a famous family, she was willing to be Mu Chen's concubine. Not only did she give birth to Mu Chen's eldest son, but she also succeeded in breaking into the palace through the concubine, and took the throne after forcing the main concubine to death.
Mu Jieyu was very curious about this woman who made Mu Zhong hate her to the core. However, after meeting Ms. Jiang, Mu Jieyu was inevitably a little disappointed. Although Ms. Jiang had no wrinkles on her well-maintained face, there was no trace of it at all.
She was not like an old woman in her fifties, but because of this, Mu Jieyu could see her face clearly. As a daughter of the Jiang family, she was not as beautiful as Concubine Hui, let alone as beautiful as Concubine Jiang Qian and Jiang Qian.
Wan is on the same level, and Mu Jieyu can infer from Mu Zhong's appearance that Mu Zhong's biological mother will definitely not be worse than Jiang.
It seems that the mistress does not necessarily rely on her face to get to the top.
"I have met the princess." Mrs. Jiang did not come alone. She brought two ladies dressed in luxurious clothes and two girls dressed in simple and elegant clothes. As soon as Mu Jieyu entered the door, she brought four people to greet her.
Mu Jieyu just glanced at them casually, then passed by them expressionlessly, walked directly to the main seat and sat down, then raised his hand slightly and said, "Old madam, there is no need to be polite."
"Thank you, Princess." Mrs. Jiang stood up with the four of them.
"Old Madam, please take a seat." Mu Jieyu didn't want to be serious with her in such a small place, so he generously spread his hands towards the sandalwood chair under the main seat, and then said to Bai Wei, "Serve the guests tea."
