I felt that Mu Yun's words made sense, Shan Jingyan and Yuan Chuzhi nodded and agreed...

Yuan Chuzhi nodded and said, "You are right, but speaking of this, men today are worse than those of the next generation. They are more feminine than women who apply fat and powder. I really don't know what's wrong with this world."

Mu Yun comforted him as soon as he heard this, "Don't worry, if you have the care of the Empress Dowager and the Empress in the palace, the princess will definitely help you plan. You will definitely find a satisfactory man in the future."

Yuan Chuzhi was close to her and twisted her hand: "Let you arrange me."

Mu Yun hurriedly dodged, and the two of them started to make a joke, breaking the originally somewhat dull atmosphere.

Shan Jingyan held a teacup beside her and looked at them pursed her lips and chuckled.

Many times, you don’t need to have many friends. Two or three sincere friends are enough, and the rest are just like the friendship between gentlemen.

It's time to have lunch when you play and play.

Muyun sent many varieties of fish to the village in the suburbs of Beijing yesterday.

Early this morning, she brought a lot of fresh and alive fish from home. When Yuan Chuzhi saw her sending many fish, she ordered the kitchen to prepare a whole fish banquet, such as squirrel fish, steamed fish, braised fish and some seasonal side dishes, and slowly set up a large table.

Only the three girls ate at home, and there was indeed a little too much, so they distributed some to add food to the maids.

Although the fish meat has fish bones, it is tender and delicious. Yuan Chuzhi and Shan Jingyan also love to eat fish. Yuan Chuzhi was naturally very happy about Mu Yun bringing such fresh fish, so the luncheon was filled with the guests and guests.

After lunch, Mu Yun and Shan Jingyan said goodbye. After saying goodbye to Shan Jingyan in front of Prince Ke's mansion, Mu Yun asked his coachman to drive the carriage back.

When Mu Yun returned home, he happened to see Wen Tingzhou holding a box of things for Madam Yun to see. Seeing that she was back, Madam Yun said with a smile: "Come here quickly, is this set of hair that Tingzhou has made you look good?" As he said that, he put the box on the table and put it on Mu Yun.

I saw a set of red gold-faced faces inlaid with emeralds, among which was a pair of Chaoyang Five Phoenix Bead Hairpins, a pair of silk-carved beaded phoenix hairpins, and a top hairpin, a hairpin, a collar, a bracelet, a ring, etc. Mu Yun looked at the emeralds inlaid on the head and faces were all pure emeralds, and the size and color and workmanship of the beads were not worse than those made by the palace. He couldn't help but ask: "Where did you get this? Where did you get so much silver?"

Mu Yun was worried that he would spend money randomly, and then said, "You don't have to always give such expensive things. If you don't have enough money, just save some money. I don't lack such a pullover..."

Looking at Mu Yun’s nagging appearance, Wen Tingzhou chuckled lightly.

"Are you listening to me?" Seeing him laughing, Mu Yun couldn't help but angrily.

Wen Tingzhou smiled and said, "It's nothing. Didn't I say it last time? A good friend of mine specializes in trading business. Now their family is not short of money, so they want to let their descendants study and become officials. But the man's eldest son is a poor person and he hired no number of famous teachers. Later, his family sent his younger son to me and I took the exam to the school. I thought he was a talented person, so I should come down to guide him several times a month. Now, a few days ago, the boy passed the Tongsheng exam and their family was happy. His father forced me to give me a red seal and two small boxes as a thank you. Later, when I went home, I opened it and saw that the two boxes contained a box of emeralds and a box of sapphires. I took it to Yinlou to give you and your mother-in-law, and my eldest sister each made a set of makeup. It can be regarded as my brother-in-law who is adding makeup to my sister."

Mu Yun frowned and said, "Even if this is the case, their family is too generous, right? Is this set of gems on the face alone not worth four or five hundred taels of silver?"

Wen Tingzhou waved his hand: "It's okay, don't worry, their family is in a trade business. We look rare in these things, but they don't lack this at all."

"Even so, you should keep such a good gem and give your sister a good face!" Mu Yun said.

"My sister has it, don't you think so much?" Wen Tingzhou looked at Mu Yun with a smile.

"Okay!" Mu Yun didn't want to have a dispute with Wen Tingzhou because of these things. Since he said he would give it away, he wouldn't ask.

Wen Tingzhou smiled and said, "You always do this and you are divorced from me. As your fiancé, can't I give you a fiancé?"

Madam Yun also advised, "Since it is your Tingzhou's intention, just keep it."

Mu Yun then smiled and accepted: "Since that's the case, I'll thank you first. But don't spend so much money in the future, you're not rich!"

After all, aren’t you just worried that he has no money? Wen Tingzhou secretly laughed: “Don’t worry, there is still some money to make jewelry for you.”

Seeing him like this, Mu Yun smiled and took the face away.

...

After dinner a few days later, Madam Yun got leisure and talked about their dowry with Mu Yun and Qingkong.

"I'll prepare Qingkong's dowry first. She'll get married first. I'll give it to you later."

Mu Yun waved his hand and said, "Mother, I'm not in a hurry, you can take your time."

Madam Yun responded, but she wouldn't really take it slowly.

Then she said to Qingkong: "Earlier, I saved up a dowry for you and Mu Yun. Now I will tell you the specific ones. The furniture must be made in full sets. Although it is not expensive wood, it is all good wood. However, I have collected you a precious concubine couch with yellow rosewood and a large book case of rosewood. These two pieces are decent enough. I also gave you a rosewood tread bed. In addition, there are forty or fifty pieces in a variety of tables and chairs. These furniture are enough for you to use. In addition, you will also prepare six sets of gold and silver inlay treasure heads and faces for four seasons. There are also some cloth and fur that I prepared for you earlier, and the rest are some ornaments."

What Madam Yun said was already a decent enough dowry in Beijing.

Qingkong nodded: "I'm tired of my mother, and these are already very good."

Madam Yun said again: "The Duke of the Kingdom has prepared a dowry for you, including ten pieces of furniture, six sets of clothes for four seasons, a pair of pearl heads, a pair of agate heads and two sets of gold heads, as well as some excellent porcelain, tea sets and twelve fashionable silks. I have prepared for you, including the Duke of the Kingdom, and your own private houses and shops. Even if you marry into the Jiang family, it will not be thinner. You don't have to look at their faces in the future. If you don't have to live a life, you will tell Jiang Xu that I think he is a good person."

Qingkong nodded and said, "Mother, my daughter knows. Although I am weak and not as strong as Mu Yun, I am not unstrong. If the Jiang family wants to control me, I am not a soft persimmon, don't worry."

Mu Yun sat aside and listened without interrupting. He made up his mind and found that Qingkong's dowry should be around forty-six, which was not bad.

Madam Yun patted her hand and continued, "These are just things on the surface. I will give you 20,000 taels of land in the suburbs of Beijing and two shops in the outer north city." Then she looked at Mu Yun and said, "Mu Yun is the same."

Qingkong felt uneasy and said with red eyes: "The dowry prepared by my mother and wife is good enough. I have saved up some dowry before, so I don't need to add any more..."

Seeing Qingkong like this, Madam Yun didn't say much, but instead talked about her dowry to Mu Yun: "What I prepared for you is the same as your sister, but your furniture does not have huanghuali and red sandalwood furniture. But later the prince came to tell me that he had released the furniture for your dowry, a set of mahogany furniture, a set of red sandalwood study furniture and a set of huanghuali furniture..."

When Mu Yun heard this, he was shocked. Now a set of furniture contains a lot of things. Mahogany and Rosewood are all precious woods. Mu Yun suddenly remembered the woods that Haimao brought back to a warehouse. Could it be that those woods are precious woods such as mahogany?

She didn't look carefully at the beginning, so she went to another warehouse. She only remembered that the large warehouse was full of various woods.

The mother and daughter talked about the dowry, but after dinner, they each rested in peace.

Muyun was pretending to be in trouble and slept uneasy all night, and she didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.

Early the next morning, Mu Yun wrote a letter to Shan Jingyan, asking Zhong Li to send it to the Duke's Mansion, and asked her to wait for Shan Jingyan to reply and bring it back directly.

Mu Yun wrote to Shan Jingyan to ask her if she knew what was going on? If she didn't know, ask her to help me ask what the prince meant?

It was almost noon when Zhong Li came back with the letter. Mu Yun asked her to go down for a meal, and she started reading it with the letter.

After reading the letter, Mu Yun's nervous heart relaxed a lot.

Shan Jingyan wrote back and explained that those things were worthy of Mu Yun, so that she didn't have to worry. This was given to her by her brother.

Just let her keep a dowry.

Mu Yun sighed, always feeling that he owe them a lot.

Time should not be too fast to walk slowly. After the calmness of the clear sky is over, it will be Muyun's turn.

The Jiang family gave Qingkong quite considerable betrothal gifts. Judging from the Jiang family's ability, this is the best betrothal gift that their family can afford.

Madam Yun was quite satisfied, and she did not neglect Qingkong. Qingkong’s wedding date was set on March 26 next year. The full plan was only about five months, and the time was still abundant.

Wen Tingzhou saw that the clear sky had already settled, and the autumn examination had just passed, so he had time to spare, so he wanted to give the betrothal gift and settle Muyun as soon as possible.

That day, he took his things to the academy and paid homage to his mentor.

Fu Qingbai is an open-minded person. When he listened to Wen Tingzhou's intentions, Fu Qingbai, who was proficient in the art of Zhou Yi, calculated a zodiac auspicious day for him at Wen Tingzhou's request.

The student is not young anymore. Fu Qingbai calculated for a while and said, "It's the end of September. October 16th is a good day, and there is another good day, but it's too late, and you may not be able to wait for that long. Then there is only the last October 16th. This day is very suitable for the year of your two. Why don't you give me a big offer on October 16th. As for the wedding date, the eighth day of May 20th and the eighth day of the ninth month after the spring exam next year, you can choose a day yourself."

Wen Tingzhou thought about it and chose the day of May 20 next year as the wedding date. It took only ten days to get a divorce. They were happy at the moment, but they didn't show it. However, he thought that fortunately, many of the things in the betrothal gift had been prepared long ago, and it was still time.

After thanking Fu Qingbai, he didn't even have time to have lunch, so he quickly turned back to the inner city to invite the matchmaker who proposed marriage at that time and talked about his life.

Seeing that there was a business coming, the matchmaker didn't bother to have half of the lunch, so she quickly changed into bright clothes and took the post to Qiao's house.

When Madam Yun heard that it was a matchmaker, she knew it and quickly put it on and came out.

The matchmaker smiled and said, "I'm glad to my wife. Wen Jieyuan has asked someone to look forward to the day. He is preparing to get married on May 20 next year and will be entitled to the 16th next month."

Madam Yun calculated that she would get married in March next year, and there would be one month to get married in May until Miyun got married, which would be enough for the busy house. But she had to be reserved: "I am the youngest daughter, who is the sweetest and caring, and always think about staying for a few more days. There will be no other good days at the end of next year?"

The matchmaker smiled and said, "Madam, Mrs. Wen will take the imperial examination in March next year, and then it will be the palace examination. If you are on the imperial examination, then you will not be captured by many officials and families? The weather will be warm in May. It is a good time for spring and flowers to bloom. Isn't this the best day?"

Madam Yun nodded: "Since that's the case, then let's make a decision."

The matchmaker responded with a smile and praised, "To be honest, the lady is really a blessing. My eldest daughter married as the commander of the imperial guards. When the youngest daughter was engaged, Mr. Wen was just a juren. I saw that Mr. Wen was young and promising. I would definitely go to high school next year. Then your youngest daughter would be an official lady! Maybe in the future, I will earn an imperial decree for your daughter..."

The matchmaker's mouth is indeed amazing. He can say all kinds of nice words, like he wants to be free, and he can speak like a bean.

Madam Yun listened, keeping the reserve of the woman's family and smiling, "I don't want them to be rich and noble, I just hope they will be safe in the future."

This matchmaker is used to being flattered. After hearing what Madam Yun said, she quickly said to her, "That's right, no matter how powerful and wealthy you are, you have to be safe and secure. The lady is really thinking, which shows that your two daughters are excellent..."

After hearing this, Madam Yun replied quickly, "What can you think about it? We mothers just hope that the children will be safe. As for the rest, it depends on God's arrangement." As she said that, she greeted the matchmaker a few more words, and asked the maid around her to take her ten taels of silver and send her out.

After seeing off the matchmaker, Madam Yun hurriedly ordered: "There will be a big recruitment from the Wen family. In the past two days, you can clean the inside and out. See if there is any dilapidated place, hurry up and repair it."

In fact, when Qingsun got engaged, the house had been repaired and painted, so it only took a little cleaning. However, the servants naturally had a good job after listening to the instructions.

After Madam Yun gave the order, she went to Muyun's house and said to Muyun.

"Next May? Didn't this just complete the imperial examination and palace examination? Isn't it too urgent?" Mu Yun felt that Wen Tingzhou was a little anxious. He was still not at the 16th in May next year!

Although in this era, early and late marriages are fine, Mu Yun didn’t think so early!

Madam Yun still understood Wen Tingzhou and couldn't help but say to Mu Yun: "Actually, this is nothing. The son-in-law lives alone and waits for him to take the exam. If the palace exam is a gold medal, it will definitely be like a court. At that time, the house will definitely need the hostess to take care of it."

"Oh," Mu Yun responded, thinking about what his mother said was right. He turned his mind, and in this way, the wedding dress would be confirmed quickly.

That's right, Mu Yun has not yet determined the style of the wedding dress. After all, she definitely hopes to be more perfect for her wedding, so wedding dress is naturally the top priority.
