"Mother is right." Nian knew the old lady was pointing fingers at her and said, "My daughter-in-law is already learning. Wasn't it because we were so poor before?"
Mu Nan frowned when he heard the word "poor". Why was his family poor? Wasn't it to support his studies?
"Alright, the past is all in the past." Mother Mu looked at her sister-in-law Nian with disdain and said in a condescending tone, "My son is very promising now, and I will be there to help you in the future."
Nian was waiting for these words: "Although Bei'er hasn't had much education, he's very strong. I wonder if Anan has any connections to help him get a government position?"
Mu Bei's eyes lit up: "Brother, I want to be a general!"
Mu Nan's face darkened: "Do you think anyone can be a general?"
"Of course not, but isn't Princess Chaoyan here?" Mu Bei said as a matter of course: "She likes you so much, asking her for help is just a matter of a word."
When Mu Nan heard Mu Bei's compliment, his expression finally improved a little. Princess Chaoyan was indeed easy to talk to. I wonder how many people in the capital envied her.
"My younger brother is right." The second brother Mu Xi said, "Our whole family is in the capital. Now that you are an official, it is natural for you to promote us. After all, we have the relationship with Princess Chaoyan, so it would be a waste if we didn't use it."
The eldest brother Mu Dong is lazy by nature, illiterate, and thinks he is not cut out to be an official.
He said, "I won't be an official anymore. I'll give the opportunity to Mu Xi and Mu Bei. You ask Princess Chao Yan to give me two thousand taels of silver. I want to open a restaurant in the capital."
"Opening a restaurant is a good idea," Mu's father said. "Have Princess Chaoyan find a few chefs from the palace. Your restaurant will definitely make a lot of money."
"The chefs in the palace are the imperial chefs. I heard that only the best cooks in the world can be the imperial chefs." Mu Dong was overjoyed: "Third brother, I'll leave my eldest brother's affairs to you."
Mu Nan said, "This is easy. There is a royal chef in Princess Chaoyan's mansion. I'll ask her to call the royal chef over to help Big Brother and teach you her special skills."
Mu Dong immediately smiled: "Good brother, I was right about you."
Seeing that Mu Dong's request went so smoothly, Mu Bei asked, "Third brother, what about the official position?"
"I will mention the matter of official position to Princess Chaoyan." Mu Nan said.
"Brother, there are still us." Mu Jinhua said, "Zhang Daniu and I have been divorced for two months. When can you introduce me to a young man from the capital?"
Zhang Daniu is a butcher from the same village as the Mu family, and his family is quite well-off.
But after Mu Nan graduated from high school, Mu Jinhua no longer liked him and insisted on divorcing him. Zhang Daniu was unwilling at first, but the Mu family used the princess's status as pressure. Seeing that they could not afford to offend, the Zhang family divorced Mu Jinhua.
"And me, Third Brother." Mu Yinhua said, "My eldest sister has been married before, so it might not be that easy for her to get married, but I'm different. I haven't been married yet, so you can arrange things for me first."
Mu Jinhua was immediately dissatisfied when she heard this: "Yinhua, what do you mean? Are you trying to steal my husband?"
"That's not what I meant." Mu Yinhua said quickly, "Sister, I'm already 18 years old. I'm just anxious. Besides, I'm getting married to be someone's first wife, not a concubine."
Mu Jinhua became even angrier and said to Mu Nan, "Brother, I am your biological sister and the eldest sister in the family. I want to get married before Yinhua."
"It's not convenient for me to get involved in matters concerning the inner courtyard." Mu Nan said, "I'll ask Princess Zhao Yan to act as a matchmaker for you."
Mu Dong said bluntly, "By the way, ask her to send 2,000 taels of silver over. I want to open the largest restaurant in the capital and leave a legacy for our descendants!"
