Mr.
Mu's rebuke did not calm Mu Xiangxiang, but made Mu Xiangxiang cry even more ferociously.
Mrs.
Mu couldn't persuade her no matter how hard she tried.
She had no choice but to drag Mu Xiangxiang out of the main room.
She thought that nothing would happen if she didn't stand with Mr.
Mu.
Mr.
Mu stood in the main room, smoking a dry cigarette.
He was in a bad mood, and it wasn't just because of Xiangxiang girl.
But in the past few days, he always felt a little restless, with a tightness in his chest, and a buzzing sound in his ears from time to time.
Mr.
Mu, this is a sign that something bad will happen.
"It seems that I have to go to the Earth Temple to worship, otherwise my heart will always be restless and I won't know what's going on with the boss."
As the day approaches, everyone knows that the results of the imperial court's spring have come out long ago.
It's just that the village is too far away from the capital.
No one knows whether Mu Dade won the first prize or not.
One or two groups of people come to the village every day to ask about Mu Dade's situation.
Mr.
Mu is troubled and can't tell him.
Logically speaking, after such a long time, his son should have been sent a letter.
But why has there been no movement until now?
Didn't you pass the exam?
Mr.
Mu just had this idea, but he immediately rejected it.
His son will definitely win the top prize Another day later, Mr.
Mu borrowed a high-interest iron pillar from a "loan shark", and the Gao family sent two people to ask about the situation.
At the beginning, the old Mu family borrowed fifty taels of silver from the Gao family for one year, and they agreed that Mu Dade would pay it back when he won the first prize.
Now that some people know that the list has been released in the capital, the Gao family naturally comes to urge them and ask about the situation.
Mr.
Mu gave the same answer to the Gao family.
But the Gao family is not that easy to fool.
"Old man, you also know our reputation as the boss.
In this area, no one is not afraid of our boss.
We don’t know whether your son won the top prize, but you family members can’t help but know.”
"That's right, you are Mu Dade's biological father.
He won the first prize.
Why don't you hurry up and send someone to deliver a message to you?"
The two people coming from the Gao family this time are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Based on their many years of experience, it is very likely that Mu Dade did not win the top prize.
Of course, they were not here to discuss this matter this time.
Gao Tiezhu's daughter Cuihua was getting older, and the village laughed at her more.
Gao Tiezhu thought of taking this opportunity to marry his daughter to the old Mu family.
If Mu Dade wins the first prize, his daughter will enjoy the happiness together.
If he doesn't win, let Mu Danian work as a cow or horse for Cuihua, and he will have to repay the fifty taels of silver.

"If you say that, there's nothing I can do about it."
Mr.
Mu was very angry.
With the Gao family's money, he might have driven these two people out of Lao Mu's family directly.
"Old man, don't think that what we say is unpleasant.
Paying back debts is a matter of course.
Even if your son is the master of civil affairs, you will not be able to rely on him."
One of the men said.
"Yes, we are just here to ask about the situation this time.
The old man is so impatient.
If Mu Dade wins the first prize in the future, will he simply refuse to admit it?"
The two minions kept stimulating Mr.
Mu's self-esteem.
Mr.
Mu was so angry that his face turned red.
Just at this time, Mrs.
Mu came in from outside the house.
When she heard the words of the two men, her voice suddenly became louder.
"Are you talking human language?
Why didn't my son get into the first prize?
Why don't we, the old Mu family, admit it?"
"Old lady, don't go against us, our brothers are not easy to mess with."
One of the men raised his fist towards Old Mu.
Then he added: "Our boss knows that the fifth child in your family has not yet married, and it just so happens that our boss's precious daughter has not gotten married either.
If you don't have any objections, just choose a date for the two of you, make an appointment, and forget about it.
At that time, our boss and your old Mu family will be in-laws, so there is no need to pay back the fifty taels of silver."
"Why do you want to marry that Cuihua from Lao Gao's family?"
Mr.
Mu's voice suddenly rose.
He still remembered what Gao Cuihua looked like, with his face covered in wrinkles and pustules.
Moreover, that girl looks like a girl to a boy, and she is extremely rugged.
As long as she is a man, she will not marry a high-ranking girl.
When Mrs.
Mu first heard that fifty taels of silver was a free gift to a daughter-in-law, she had some thoughts.
But seeing her old man being so excited, she felt there was something fishy going on here.
"Old man, what's going on?
What's wrong with Gao Cuihua?"
Old Mrs.
Mu asked.
"What's wrong?
That woman is ugly and looks exactly like her father.
She also has sores on her face."
As soon as Mr.
Mu finished speaking, Mrs.
Mu became furious.

"Okay, I asked our old Mu family not to pay back the fifty taels of silver, but it turned out to be like giving our old Mu family an ugly winter melon that no one wanted.
Let me tell you, the money will be paid back when my son comes back.
As for Gao Tiezhu’s stinky daughter, our old Mu family definitely doesn’t want such a daughter-in-law.”
Mrs.
Mu is also a face-saving person.
After marrying that crooked man named Lin, she was stabbed in the back all her life.
Now if she finds someone worse than Lin, will she still have face in Ergui Village?
What Mrs.
Mu said was really unpleasant.
Both men couldn't stand it.
They didn't want to waste time at Lao Mu's house, so they just said harsh words.
"You are unwilling to solve the problem privately, but don't blame my elder brother for going too far."
After saying that, the two men left Lao Mu's house one after another.
Mr.
Mu is still angry.
Old Mrs.
Mu was still scolding: "It's really shocking.
You dare to get such crooked melons and cracked dates from our old Mu family.
If the fifth child doesn't get married, I won't let her find an ugly woman."
"Old man, why don't you tell me what's going on with the boss?
There's not even a single message.
The word spread in the village is terrible."
Mrs.
Mu muttered, a little unhappy.
"How did I know they were going to pass it on?
Let them pass it on.
Last time, the boss's documents came slowly.
If they didn't, they would still call us liars."
Mrs.
Mu thought about it and thought it made sense.
She had long thought that her son was destined to be an official.
I’ve been waiting for so long anyway, and I don’t care if I wait a few more months.
County town, a secluded house It has been three days since Mu Dade returned from the capital.
This time, he didn't gain anything at all.
Not to mention entering the palace examination and competing for the number one spot, he didn't even pass a spring.
He didn't even qualify as a tribute scholar.
During the Chunwei exam, Mu Dade and Ruan Xiaojiao spent all their savings on asking people to find connections and buying test questions.
In the end, all efforts were in vain.
If Ruan Xiaojiao hadn't promised to help him find a good living with the county magistrate, Mu Dade would have collapsed.
He didn't want to go back to Lao Mu's house and face the blank stares from those mud-legged people in the countryside, and he didn't want to see his parents looking disappointed
