The Old Mu family, who were so poor they jingled, went crazy. It was a time of famine, and everyone was rushing to flee, yet they went out of their way to pick up a little girl.

Chapter 574 Mu Chengye's Marriage
Although Wang Xiaoyan and Li Ying are Ning Bao's good friends, they have never met Mu Chengye.
I've only heard that the fourth young master of the Mu family is doing well in his studies.
A few days ago, the results of the imperial examination were announced. Since there was no parade, most people in the capital had not seen the face of the top scholar.
The parade of the top three winners of the imperial examination was a very lively affair.
Those who were interested in marrying into the Mu family wanted to take this opportunity to see what the fourth son of the Mu family looked like.
When the people from various prefectures who had inquired about the news reported back, Mu's fourth son had been selected as the top scholar in the imperial examination.
The crowd of onlookers became even more excited.
Who wouldn't want to find a husband who is talented, promising, and good-looking!
Therefore, today, all the second-floor window seats on both sides of the main street in the capital are completely full.
Fortunately, Leng Xue had the foresight to know that her master would definitely come to watch the excitement today.
So we spent a lot of money to reserve the best private room in advance.
Ningbao stood by the window, where she could see the entire street.
In addition to the shops on both sides of the street being packed with people, the streets themselves were also full of people.
The street suddenly became lively. Ning Bao looked down and saw three men riding tall horses, each with a large red flower tied to their chest.
Her fourth brother was one of the three men.
Looking around, Mu Chengye was standing in the middle, slightly ahead of the two people on his left and right.
Just as Ning Bao was wondering how to tell who was first and who was second, she heard a slightly older woman's voice from next door say,
"There's a specific way the top three in this parade are lined up. The first place winner, also known as the top scholar, usually stands in the middle, but he'll be one step ahead of the other two."
In our Longyuan Kingdom, the left side is considered the most prestigious, meaning the second-ranked scholar is on the left and the third-ranked scholar is on the right.
I'd only ever heard people say that the top three scholars were handsome, the second-best were beautiful, but I never imagined this year's champion would be even more outstanding in appearance.
"Mother, is the one in the middle the fourth son of the Mu family?"
If it were him, my daughter would be willing to marry him. However, today the fourth son of the Mu family has become the top scholar in the imperial examination, so there will be even more people coming to propose marriage. What if they refuse then?
"You know you regret it now. I told you the other day that I found General Shen's mother to be the matchmaker. General Shen's mother and Madam Mu have a very good relationship."
As long as Madam Shen intervenes, this marriage will definitely go through.
What did you say back then? You were afraid she was ugly, that she was from the countryside and smelled of mud, and that you wouldn't marry her.
Now I know I regret it........................”
"Mother, your daughter is going to marry Mu Chengye, please think of a way..."
"Okay, I'll send someone to propose marriage right away..."
Because the mother and daughter next door were speaking quite loudly, Ningbao and the others could hear them clearly. Ningbao glanced at them with disdain.
What the hell? She dares to look down on her fourth brother?
The Mu family would never look down on someone like that.
“Ningbao, look, your fourth brother is really in high demand.”
At this point, the procession had reached the street where Ning Bao and his group were.
Wang Xiaoyan looked at the girls and ladies who kept throwing purses and handkerchiefs at Mu Chengye and teased Ning Bao.
Ning Bao looked towards Mu Chengye and saw all sorts of purses and handkerchiefs being thrown down from upstairs.
