Chapter 117: Spending Money
Qin's sister-in-law did things in a relaxed manner, although she dismissed so many old people in the Hou Mansion, but Mu Ningxuan and Princess Gao Rou, she did not move.
It's August, and September is the big day for the third sister.
Because Princess Gao Rou entrusted all the big and small affairs in the house to Qin's sister-in-law, the marriage of the third sister was all taken over by Qin's sister-in-law.
Originally, Mu Ningxuan had to worry about it, but now that there is such a delicate and experienced person as Qin's sister-in-law, Mu Ningxuan is at ease.
Taking advantage of her spare time, Mu Ningxuan can just go to the capital to walk around, looking for good things to add makeup to the third sister.
The eldest brother got married, Mu Ningxuan didn't do anything else except for spending some time on the food at the banquet, the eldest brother himself is a wife, and he lacks nothing!
The third sister herself, her concubine, and her concubine, made her a head shorter in her husband's house, and she was stuffy.
So on the day of the wedding, Mu Ningxuan wanted her to get married with red makeup, so that those who looked down on the third sister could take a good look and weigh before speaking.
A few days ago, when Mu Ningxuan was visiting an antique store, she saw a huge night pearl, which was half a person high, and two people could wrap the night pearl round, and the store offered 100,000 taels of silver.
This time, Mu Ningxuan picked up a lot of calligraphy, paintings, vases and other things in the antique shop.
The shopkeeper rarely saw the eldest lady of the official family who was so generous, so he took out the treasure of the town store and gave it directly to Mu Ningxuan.
You read that right, it's not for sale, it's for giving.
Speaking of which, the treasure of the town shop is a stone, but this stone is not a small stone in the mountains and fields, but a large uncarved stone, which is enough to be as tall as a man.
When the shopkeeper accidentally got the stone, he dreamed that night that the stone told him to do an antique business, so he raised money to open the antique shop, but he didn't expect to make money.
A few days ago, the shopkeeper had a dream, and he dreamed of a stone again, and the stone asked him to give it to the lady of the official family who had come to the store to buy many, many things.
It didn't take a few days for Mu Ningxuan to appear.
Although the shopkeeper was reluctant, the stone was strange, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to give the stone to Mu Ningxuan for free.
Now the Pingchang Marquis Mansion is lively, a half-person-high night pearl has surprised everyone in the mansion, and the strange-shaped stone of one person is even more surprising to everyone.
Mu Hou Ye asked Mu Ningxuan to go to the study to ask.
"Where did the Night Pearl and that stone and those antique calligraphy and paintings come from?" Mu Hou Ye asked directly.
Mu Ningxuan had nothing to hide, and replied truthfully: "I bought it in an antique store." ”
Mu Hou Ye continued to ask, "What are you doing with these things?" ”
"Xuan'er specially bought it for her third sister as a dowry." Mu Ningxuan muttered.
Mu Hou Ye said curiously: "Didn't I agree to give all your mother's dowry to Jia'er?" ”
"It's not enough!" Mu Ningxuan took a closer look, although her mother married into the Pingchang Marquis Mansion with ten miles of red makeup, but because there were signs of decay in the Wenguo Mansion at that time, not all of her mother's ten miles of red makeup were actually good things, and some of the boxes were really made up, Mu Ningxuan wanted to change all the boxes that made up the numbers, so as not to let those people in Wu Wangfu leave a handle in their mouths.
"Not enough?" Mu Hou Ye frowned, "How much silver did you spend on these things sent by the antique store today?" ”
"A hundred thousand taels." Mu Ningxuan said lightly.
Mu Houye was shocked, hurriedly stabilized his mind, and asked, "Where did you get the silver?" ”
"The Queen Mother gave it." Mu Ningxuan had already thought of a rhetoric, but in fact, it was not a rhetoric, the "Treasure Fragrance" was given to her by the Queen Mother, and the silver taels earned by the "Treasure Fragrance" could naturally be said to be given by the Queen Mother, so Mu Ningxuan was not wrong.
Mu Hou Ye was surprised, and immediately asked, "How much silver did the Queen Mother give you?" "More than 100,000 taels is not a small amount, and her daughter spent more than 100,000 taels so casually, which shows that the money in her hand is sufficient, but how could the Queen Mother give Xuan'er so much money?
"It's a secret, the Queen Mother won't let me tell anyone." Mu Ningxuan shrugged.
Mu Houye was choked for a moment, took a breath, and continued to ask: "Xuan'er, why didn't you say it when you returned from the palace?" ”
Mu Ningxuan's eyes widened, and she deliberately made an exaggerated expression and said, "Father won't be worried about the silver given to me by the Queen Mother." ”
Mu Houye was choked again, and spit out two words with difficulty, "No." ”
"Oh, I knew that my father wouldn't care about the silver that the Queen Mother gave me, so I didn't say it." Mu Ningxuan is a serious way.
"..."Mu Hou Ye really can't understand the daughter in front of him, after all, he didn't grow up by his side, and he didn't discuss anything with him, unlike Meng'er.
As soon as he thought of Mu Ningmeng, Mu Hou Ye was angry and sad. How did this daughter, who grew up pampered, do that kind of thing, he didn't want to believe it from the bottom of his heart, and then thought that Meng'er was going to marry into the Zhengxin Earl's Mansion as a concubine, Mu Houye felt distressed for a while.
"Xuan'er, although my father will not be greedy for the money that the Queen Mother gave you, I am your father, and you should tell your father everything." Mu Hou Ye said earnestly.
Mu Ningxuan smiled secretly in her heart, is this to play the emotional card?
"Father, Xuan'er doesn't dare to tell you." Mu Ningxuan made a sad look, "I told you before that I wanted to give all my mother's dowry to my third sister, but you didn't agree, but the princess's mother persuaded her father, and my father agreed." ”
"Are you blaming your father for not listening to you?" Mu Houye's voice was a little colder.
Mu Ningxuan said softly: "My daughter doesn't dare." ”
"After Jia'er's marriage is over, your fourth sister will also get married." Mu Hou Ye said such a sentence for no reason, which immediately ignited the anger in Mu Ningxuan's heart.
"Father means to let me also add makeup to my fourth sister? Father, have you forgotten why she is marrying into the Earl's Court? Mu Ningxuan couldn't believe it, even if her father knew that her fourth sister had done such a shameless thing, her father still favored her in the bottom of his heart.
Mu Hou Ye said slightly angrily: "She is also your sister who is connected by blood, and her father just mentioned it, and did not force you to add makeup to your fourth sister." ”
"Got it." Mu Ningxuan's expression was not obvious, but she was extremely annoyed in her heart.
Mu Hou Ye no longer mentioned the topic of dowry, and asked Mu Ningxuan instead: "For my father, I am going to promise you to the six princes, do you have any objections?" ”
"Father has already determined that the six princes will inherit the throne in the future?" Mu Ningxuan asked rhetorically.
Mu Hou Ye shook his head and said, "I'm not sure." ”
"If our Pyeongchang Marquis Mansion is now involved with the six princes, what if the five princes ascend the throne in the future?" Mu Ningxuan asked calmly.
Mu Hou Ye said lightly: "The fifth prince will not succeed to the throne. ”
"Why?" Mu Ningxuan was a little curious.
Mu Hou Ye said bluntly: "Recently, the situation between the DPRK and China has become more and more tense, and the case of the prince's murder has been turned over again, and the spearhead is directly aimed at the five princes. ”
"The murderer is the Fifth Prince?" Mu Ningxuan was also shocked.
Mu Hou Ye said quietly: "There is no conclusive evidence, and it is not certain that it is him for the time being, but the queen mother has sent someone to put the five princes under house arrest in the Shu Palace." ”
"Why did the Five Princes do this?" Mu Ningxuan asked, she has actually been investigating the prince's case, and she wants to find some evidence related to the three princes, so as to make the official family suspicious of the three princes. If you can directly find evidence to prove that the crown prince was killed by the third prince, then the thorn in the eye of the third prince will be directly removed.
But now, I actually learned from my father that the death of the crown prince was related to the five princes.
Qin's sister-in-law did things in a relaxed manner, although she dismissed so many old people in the Hou Mansion, but Mu Ningxuan and Princess Gao Rou, she did not move.
