Chapter 973 Engagement (1)
Before dawn, the farm was already busy. The chickens, ducks, geese, horses, cattle and sheep were driven out to graze, the feces of the animals were cleaned, the courtyard was cleaned, the furniture was wiped, and the food for the guests at noon was prepared. The whole family was busy all the time, like a spinning top, and no one was idle.
Caiwei also dressed up deliberately today. She wore a rose pink double-breasted long jacket with a collar and sleeves wrapped with pomegranate flowers, a light pink satin eight-panel Xiang skirt, a cloud-shaped bun, and two red gold plum blossom hairpins on her head given by the old lady of the Duke of Liguo. She put on a little makeup on her face, looking beautiful but not coquettish.
The two little kids wore very festive red jackets, with sky-high buns and golden lockets hanging around their necks. They were like a pair of children beside Laojun, white and tender, and very lovable.
Mu Zhongqing and his wife Du were dressed very solemnly. Du's hair had grown past her shoulders and could barely be tied up. She wore a hairpin and some expensive jewelry, just like a noble lady, no worse than those noble ladies in the mansions of marquises!
With such a big commotion in the front yard, the back yard was naturally alarmed. Mu Chong went out to inquire and learned that the King of Qin was coming to propose marriage today. He was so shocked that his mouth opened into an O shape. It had only been a few days since the marriage proposal, and the King of Qin came to propose marriage so soon. How much does the King of Qin love that little bitch Mu Caiwei!
The first wife's family was shocked to hear that the King of Qin was coming to propose marriage today. Li muttered: "There are not many beauties in the capital, and the sisters are also very popular. If my Ping'er were here, how could they have a chance..."
"Old lady, now is not the time to say this, be careful of the ears!"
Mu Bai glared at her daughter-in-law and warned her sternly. Although Li felt sour in her heart, she had to shut up obediently under the eaves.
Mu Chongcai stretched his neck to look out the window and said: "Grandpa, grandma, do you think they can invite us to watch the ceremony today?"
Mu Liankui smiled proudly and said: "Even if that girl doesn't like me, I am her grandfather. The emperors of our Great Jin Kingdom have always ruled the world with filial piety. She dare not not invite me to participate!"
"Hehe, that's good, that's good, just let us see it!"
Mu Chongfu said with a grin. Mu Zhongli glanced at him and said, "When you go out later, be polite. You will be officials in the future. Don't let those people look down on us. Of course, be moderate in everything. Don't mess with that damn girl!"
"Yes, Dad is right. I'll remember it!"
Mu Chongfu coughed, straightened his back, and waited with his grandparents for the front yard to invite them!

Today, the King of Qin is going to betrothal. Before dawn, the King of Qin's mansion is busy. Xiaozhi and a few housekeepers are counting the betrothal gifts. As the legitimate prince of the Jin Dynasty, the King of Qin is marrying his own wife. According to the specifications, the betrothal gifts can be up to 118 taels, second only to the 128 taels of the emperor's queen.
For many years, the King of Qin had been living under the oppression of the Crown Prince and Concubine Jin. The little wealth he had was used to make friends with court officials and raise assassins, so he didn't have much wealth. In order to collect the 118 betrothal gifts, he also put a lot of thought into it. Fortunately, the Queen and the Emperor helped, and the Duke of Liguo and his wife also tried their best to help him collect this 118 betrothal gifts!
The more than 200 servants who carried the betrothal gifts, all wearing the same bright red clothes, stood in front of the betrothal gifts they were going to carry, ready to go.
