Chapter 488 I Didn't Marry the Wrong Person
Mu Cheng'an shook his head without hesitation.
"No, Aunt Su and Mother are both too weak to use the flying talisman."
I'm just a little nervous about the upcoming marriage proposal.
I'm already very grateful that my mother and Aunt Su are going to propose marriage for me. Let's take it slow and make sure they don't get tired on the journey."
Ning Bao nodded.
"Okay, let's eat, drink, and have fun as we go."
If you and Sister Wen really get together, then you'll definitely be walking this path a lot in the future.
Brother, you should scout out the route carefully so you'll know the way better when you visit your mother-in-law's house in the future.
By the way, brother, have you really thought it through about dropping out of school to go into business?
Actually, our family isn't short of money right now, you don't need to drop out of school just for this.
Ningbao knew that his older brother could pass the imperial examination at the county level on his first try, so his academic performance must be quite good.
His decision not to continue participating in the imperial examinations must have been more than just a matter of poor aptitude.
"I've thought it through."
Ningbao, I know that we don't lack money at home right now.
But this is only in Chuyun Village. Later, your second brother and fourth brother will pass the imperial examination and become officials.
We might go to other places, and then our current income won't be enough.
As you know, being an official, especially an honest one, doesn't come with much salary.
Without financial support from their families, it would be difficult for them to gain a foothold in the court.
I dislike officialdom and am the eldest son in my family, so I should rightfully take charge of the household.
If I can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar-official, I can be considered a Confucian merchant. With me as a backer, Chengju and the others can do what they like.
They can then peacefully be good officials.
However, the business world is like a battlefield; I hope I can make a name for myself.
Ning Bao patted Mu Cheng'an on the shoulder in a serious manner.
"Don't worry, big brother. You'll definitely become a great businessman in the future. Who knows, you might even become the richest man or the imperial merchant in our Longyuan Kingdom."
Mu Cheng'an affectionately poked Ning Bao's forehead.
"You're talking nonsense again, you call yourself the richest man and the most powerful merchant."
I don't dare to think that far ahead. I just hope to develop a business so that you and Chengju won't have to worry about money anymore.
Especially you, as the young princess of the royal palace, your future husband's status will certainly be quite high.
My older brother was thinking that when you got married, he would prepare a generous dowry for you.
Although I know the Prince's Mansion will make preparations, the Mu family will definitely prepare a dowry for our daughter.
"What others have, Ningbao must also have; what others don't have, Ningbao must also have."
Ning Bao's eyes felt slightly warm.
"Big brother, you don't need to worry about Ningbao."
Ningbao can earn money on her own, and I will prepare her dowry myself.
I still need to earn money for my brothers to get married.
"You're so young, you don't need to worry so much. Your older brother is here for you."
You can keep that money for yourself; when the little girl grows up, you can buy her more things she likes.
All you need to do is be happy and have fun. With so many older brothers around, you won't have to work hard.
Ning Bao nodded.
"Yes, Ningbao will be a happy little bug, eating, drinking and having fun every day."
As soon as Ning Bao finished speaking, a bright green worm crawled out of the handbag at her waist.
Mu Cheng'an stared at the insect for a moment,
"What's going on?"
"Ningbao, you little bug, you can't possibly understand us, can you?"
