After a while, Mama Wang came to look for Mu Wan, and Mu Wan patted Mrs. Mu's hand to express her confidence and left.

When she arrived at the palace room, Mu Wan was a little surprised, but she didn't expect Concubine Xian to be here. Seeing the attitude of the two of them who did not deliberately hide it in front of him, Mu Wan already understood. When the queen proposed the marriage, Mu Wan did not object, and after pretending to ponder, she euphemistically said that she wanted to wait for a while before announcing it to the public.

Seeing that the two of them were a little confused, Mu Wancai explained that her mother's side had just taken a good look at a girl, and she was going to come to the door tomorrow to propose marriage, and then everything went well and she would immediately make a marriage, and then announce the relationship between the prince and Xiao Yu after the dust settled.

The queen and Concubine Xian glanced at each other, knowing that she Mu Wan was low-key every day, but she didn't expect it to be the same in family affairs. Knowing that Xiao Yu will be announced as the future princess first, then her mother's family will definitely be able to choose a better family background. But Mu Wan still has to insist, what does this mean? This shows that people don't care about their life experience.

Mu Wan also elaborated on her thoughts: "It's our honor for Yu'er to become the princess, so we can't make trouble for Niangniang." Marriage is not a matter of two people, but a matter of two families, I hope that the future brother-in-law's family is interested in the relationship between the mother's family itself and the younger brother himself, rather than the relationship between the future princess, so that I can try to screen some families that are different from the outside. ”

The queen nodded and agreed: "Okay, when the news of your brother's marriage comes out, the palace will announce it to the public." However, when it was okay during this time, let Xiao Yu take the jade card and enter the palace more often. ”

After the banquet, Mu Wan began to accompany Mrs. Mu to prepare intensively. However, Mrs. Mu had already prepared, so she sent someone to propose marriage the next day. There will be no accidents when proposing, and the next thing is three books and six ceremonies, all of which are indispensable.

The three books refer to the letter of appointment, the letter of ceremony, and the letter of welcome. The six rites refer to the six kinds of etiquette from marriage proposal to marriage, namely, Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting dates, and greeting in person.

Shi Huizhu will not be married until the spring of next year, and the wedding date is set for the autumn after Shi Huizhu and Xuan.

Therefore, after completing the first two books and the first five ceremonies, the queen asked the emperor to decree the marriage of the second prince, Xia Mingjin and Xiao Yu.

As soon as the holy decree was issued, the entire capital was shaken, and everyone was in an uproar. After the last banquet, only Du Yao gave the holy decree of the eldest prince to marry. There was no movement on the second prince's side, I thought I didn't choose it, but I didn't expect someone to find Xiao Yu from Xiao Mansion entering the palace several times, and every time he returned with a full load.

Some smart people have faintly guessed, but they still can't believe it, they didn't expect it to be true, you must know that Xiao Yu is a concubine, although she is already a concubine, but in the end, her biological mother is still there, not a serious concubine! I don't understand why the queen doesn't choose a girl with better conditions and a better family background.

If it was only this, everyone would just sigh that Xiao Yu was lucky. However, at the court meeting on the second day of the marriage of the second prince, the emperor announced on the spot that the second prince would be the crown prince. The reason is: the second prince only had talent before, and his heart was undecided, but now, the marriage has been engaged, his heart is stable, and he can take on the responsibility of the prince.

At the same time, the eldest prince was canonized as the virtuous king, and the third and fourth princes were rewarded when they became adults.

For a time, Xiao Yu jumped from the princess to the crown princess. The world no longer says that she is lucky, but that she has accumulated great virtue in her previous life.

At this time, Aunt Liu in the backyard of Xiao Mansion said like this: "Yu'er must have accumulated great virtue in her previous life, so that she can meet Mrs. in this life and get Mrs.'s teaching, otherwise it will be difficult to become the wife of the family, let alone the crown princess!" "Aunt Liu has been crying and thanking Mu Wan for Mu Wan since she heard the news, and she also pulled Xiao Yu to thank Mu Wan all the time.

Mu Wan saw that Aunt Liu's eyes were red from crying, and she rubbed her eyebrows: "Okay, don't cry, there are more important things to do!" ”

Aunt Liu looked puzzled, Xiao Yu and Hongluan were also very confused, and they didn't know what else was going on!

Mu Wan hugged Xiao Bo, who was obediently playing tangram, and said helplessly: "Of course it's a dowry!" In the past two years, I arranged for someone to slowly build a lot of furniture in Beizhuang, plus antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver and jade, as well as additional gifts, and it was no problem to raise eighty-one dowries. ”

Seeing that everyone reacted, Mu Wancai continued: "The most important thing is that I have discussed with the old lady and the old man about the issue of dowry silver. You also know the identity of the master, you can't have too much cash on the surface, plus there are two children below. Therefore, Gongzhong can only pay 60,000 taels of silver dowry silver, three shops, two manors, and 100 acres of farmland. In addition, the dowry given by the royal family can be given to Yu'er in full, but the conspicuous one with the logo cannot, otherwise it will be a slap in the royal face. ”

Aunt Liu waved her hand again and again: "Madam, this is too much, too much, this is already a dowry that slaves and maids can't think of." Yu'er has received such a great favor from you, where can she ask for so much dowry. ”

Mu Wan motioned to Hongluan to explain to Aunt Liu: "Auntie, this is not the eldest lady's business alone, behind the eldest lady is the Xiao Mansion, and she may be the queen in the future." Hongluan said the word queen very lightly, "If the dowry is less, it will be laughed at." And when you get to the palace, you need money everywhere to do things. Some time ago, the eldest prince got married, and Du's mansion produced 30,800 taels of silver, plus two shops, a manor, and 100 acres of farmland. ”

Although Aunt Liu is a little clever and knows how to behave, she has no concept of these big things and doesn't know what to do, so she has to look at Xiao Yu helplessly.

Xiao Yu glanced at her aunt soothingly, walked to Mu Wan's side and leaned on Mu Wan: "Mother, these dowries are already very good, not above or under people." Rest assured, the royal family won't care about this, otherwise they wouldn't have chosen me. Moreover, shops, manors, and farmlands will all get money, plus 60,000 taels of silver, and there is no problem in spending money in the palace. Also, you have to believe in Yu'er, not to mention the rest, at least I have the confidence to be in charge of the East Palace. ”

Mu Wan nodded: "It's good if you have confidence, as long as you stabilize your heart, it's absolutely fine." And I didn't finish it just now, what I just said was Gongzhong, that is, I can only give you these on the surface. But in private, I will give you another 60,000 taels of silver, and then I will give you the Treasure Pavilion. These are my private property, not public schools, so I can't show them in the open. ”

Xiao Yu covered his mouth lightly and whispered, "Treasure Pavilion? Isn't that a jewelry store that has just emerged in the past two years? His jewelry is novel and beautiful, of high quality, and his business is very hot, and every time he releases a new product, he is sold out. I didn't expect this to be a shop opened by my mother, you are amazing! I can't play with this shop, it's too expensive. ”

Mu Wan waved her hand, not refusing: "What is precious or not, this store was originally opened for you, not only you, but your younger brothers and sisters also have a popular shop, all of which are properties for you, otherwise why would I bother so much?" The title deed and house deed of this shop have your name written on it, and the person is also arranged, you just need to collect money and check the accounts every month, and occasionally arrange someone to check the shop. I taught you all this, you will be the crown princess in the future, and if you don't do business properly, I won't teach you how to do business. ”

Xiao Yu couldn't help but shed tears, knelt and crawled on Mu Wan's lap, crying: "Mother, thank you, thank you!" You've thought so much about me. ”

Aunt Liu also understood, and she didn't know what to say when she stood aside, so she could only wipe her tears and say, "Thank you!" ”

Xiao Bo, who was playing in Mu Wan's arms, saw that the eldest sister was crying, so he clumsily raised his sleeve to wipe Xiao Yu's tears, and said in a milky voice: "Sister doesn't cry, don't cry!" ”

As a result, Xiao Bo found that he had wiped the eldest sister's eye makeup, looked at his sister's big-eyed cat in horror, then looked at his sleeves, looked at Mu Wan in puzzlement, and said aggrievedly: "Mother! ”

In an instant, everyone in the room laughed, and Mu Wan had to ask Hongluan to take Xiao Bo to change clothes, and let the egret fetch water to wash Xiao Yu's face.

Looking at the busy few people, Mu Wan couldn't help but sigh in her heart: At the beginning, she was preparing for these industries, just thinking about preparing a way back, and also thinking that there would be a return on investment, but some feelings could not be put away freely. I think that my heart is like a stubborn stone, but I don't expect people to be grass and trees. Thankfully, things are going in a good direction now.

Because Xiao Yu was only thirteen years old, he set the marriage two years later. In the past two years, Mu Wan asked Xiao Wenyu to find an aunt from the palace and specially taught Xiao Yu about matters in the palace, after all, in the past, he only learned the rules of the family, and the palace has the rules of the palace, and more importantly, the invisible selfishness and darkness in the palace.

Xiao Yu wanted to prepare for marriage, so Mu Wan asked her to sort out her dowry more and familiarize herself with those shops. The affairs of the mansion were gradually handed over to Xiao Yue, just like taking Xiao Yu with her.

Xiao Bo also reached the enlightenment period, Mu Wan did not rush to find a teacher, but according to the experience of her previous life, she made some honor cards to arouse Xiao Bo's interest through games.

Thinking of the road Xiao Bo will take in the future, Mu Wan was helpless for a while, the imperial examination is more difficult and bitter than the college entrance examination, although his father Xiao Wenyu paves the way, but he also has to fight for himself, otherwise everything will be in vain.

Mu Wan knows that only by following the flow of the times can she go far in this era, so Mu Wan never does things out of line, even if she opens a treasure pavilion and a rouge shop, she also integrates the elements of the previous life into the current world and makes some innovations, and she doesn't dare to do too much, otherwise it will be too eye-catching.

Some people may think that this is too cowardly, there is no chic life without wantonness, and there is no dazzling light through women. But Mu Wan feels that this kind of life is very good, although she is trapped in the etiquette, but in the mansion, Mu Wan is free, there are people to serve her food, clothing, housing and transportation, and her job is to manage the entire Xiao Mansion, which is something that she never dared to think of as a social animal in her previous life.

After helping Mrs. Mu manage her brother's marriage, the tired Mu Wan leaned on the recliner, eating small grapes, blowing a cool breeze, and then listening to Xiao Bo's reading aloud.
