The daughter of the first wife is a little fierce: the war god prince loves her to the sky

Chapter 122 The Eve of the Wedding

Murong Hui nodded and said calmly, "Your Highness, I was lucky enough to get second place in the exam."

Everyone was slightly surprised. The old lady's eyes sparkled when she heard this. "Haoyun, why don't you come over and meet your cousins?" She was most worried about her grandson. It would only be good for him to have a good relationship with Murong Hui now...

This kid has no family background, how can he make a name for himself in Jiangnan? Bai Haoyun stood up reluctantly, "Hello, cousins."

Murong Xuan and the others curled their lips again. The Bai family's ability to change their attitude according to circumstances might not be inherited from their ancestors.

Seeing that his brothers were silent, Murong Che had no choice but to play the good cop. The prince was still there so he couldn't let the atmosphere remain silent, so he slowly spoke, "My cousin is a very talented man. If it weren't for the accident, he would have no problem getting first place in the exam. Brother Hui still needs to learn from my cousin."

Hearing the praise, Bai Haoyun's face looked better, and then he felt that what his cousin said made sense. Murong Hui could get second place, so it seemed that the test questions this year were not difficult and the competition among students of the same grade was less. If he took the exam seriously, maybe he could really get first place?

"Big brother is right," Murong Hui rolled his eyes in his heart. Seeing Bai Haoyun's expression, did he take what big brother said to heart? Maybe he was still imagining that he would get the first place in the exam. Why did Sister Xiao have such a stupid brother?

Seeing Bai Haoyun's serious expression, Murong Che was speechless. Any normal person should be able to hear the sarcasm in his words...

Chu Tianyou smiled and spoke slowly, "Since the fourth young master has achieved such good results in the autumn examination, the imperial examination will not be a problem."

Murong Hui said calmly, "Then I will accept your good words, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing that the greetings were almost over, Murong Che stood up again and spoke slowly, "Your Highness, Old Madam and Uncle, Sister Xiao is getting married soon, and we want to talk to Sister Xiao alone today..."

Bai Linan's eyes flickered and he nodded slightly, "It should be so, nephews, please do as you please."

The brothers and sisters returned to Liuli Courtyard and became more relaxed. They were really tired of staying in the front hall with Bai Linan and the others and pretending to be nice to them.

Murong Shuo smiled and said, "Lanxiang and Qingzhu, why don't you two girls go down and bring some tea. Big Brother must be thirsty right now."

Lan Xiang and Qing Zhu originally grew up in the Murong family. They were naturally delighted that the young masters had come. They responded and happily went downstairs to prepare tea and snacks.

Murong Xuan also said calmly, "It's really difficult for you, big brother."

Bai Chuxiao blinked and said with a smile, "But Hui brother, you can't play with that idiot Bai Haoyun. Sister is afraid that you will be infected."

Murong Che glared at these unruly brothers and sisters. They didn't come here to chat today.

"Sister Xiao, you are the only daughter in our Murong family. Your marriage is a big deal. As your brothers, we naturally have to help you with your wedding."

After saying that, Murong Che took out a square wooden box. Seeing this, Murong Xuan and Murong Shuo also quickly took out a similar wooden box.

There were 100,000 taels of silver in each of the three wooden boxes. Bai Chuxiao was surprised, "Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, how can this be possible?" Grandfather had accumulated a lot of wealth from his early years of fighting all over the world, and the Murong family was also quite wealthy, but the brothers were all old bachelors, and they would have a lot of money to spend in the future.

Murong Che smiled slightly, "Sister Xiao, just accept it. The Murong family doesn't have much business, and we can't afford much. You have liked money since you were a child, so after thinking about it, we think it would be better to just give you a silver note."

Bai Chuxiao felt warm in her heart and spoke slowly, "That won't work either. I like money but I'm not short of it. Big brother and second brother, you two haven't married yet, so you should keep the money. And your second brother is going to marry Sister Xihan soon, so I can't take the money. You should take it back and leave it for Sister Xihan to spend!"

Murong Xuan was helpless. "Sister Xiao, you made it sound like we would be penniless if we gave you 100,000 silver notes. The 100,000 taels from me were also meant by your sister Xihan."

Murong Shuo also smiled and said, "Sister Xiao, don't you know how much wealth our grandfather has? Just accept it with confidence."

Bai Chuxiao was touched and amused, "Third brother, no matter how much money grandpa has, it will eventually run out, but we can't afford to spend it casually." How can we rely on our parents for support? However, she also knew that her third brother was just joking.

Murong Hui scratched his head, took out a book, and slowly said, "Sister Xiao, I don't have money, so I won't give you a banknote."

He is still young and does not have the right to manage large sums of money. The amount of money he gets every month is fixed. Even if he sells himself for 100,000 taels, he will not get it.

Bai Chuxiao's eyes lit up slightly, "An Zhan Ji, this is the only copy." This was written by the most capable general beside the Taizu who unified the world before. She has always wanted to read it. After all, there are corresponding fighting methods in the cold weapon era, and the methods in the previous life may not be applicable to the present. However, there is only one copy of An Zhan Ji, and even her grandfather doesn't have it.

Murong Hui chuckled twice, "Mr. Guangli of Bailu Academy likes me very much, and I saw this book from him by chance. I knew my sister would definitely like it, so I asked him for it."

Bai Chuxiao felt a little warm in her heart. It was not surprising that Mr. Guangli was a great scholar of the time and had such a rare book. However, this rare book could not be valued by money. Murong Hui said it lightly, but it must have taken a lot of effort to get Mr. Guangli to give it to him.

"Brother Hui is very thoughtful. I like it very much."

Murong Che also smiled and said, "Brother Hui was thinking about your sister Xiao, and he was reluctant to let us brothers see it first after he got it."

Murong Hui said nonchalantly, "This is a gift, so I'll give it to Sister Xiao first. If you want to see it, just wait until Sister Xiao finishes reading it."

Bai Chuxiao smiled and said softly, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, thank you."

For a big event like marriage, it is not possible without a female relative who can take charge. However, the mother concubine cannot leave the palace, her position is not high, and there are not many capable people around her. Chu Tianze thought about it and decided to ask the eldest princess to take charge.

The eldest princess was very happy to see that her seventh brother was willing to take the trouble to trust her. Without saying anything, she brought several maids from the mansion to the Prince of Yan's mansion.

Chu Tianze chuckled helplessly, "The eldest sister is in trouble."

The eldest princess smiled slightly, "What are you talking about? I'm so happy that you're willing to get close to me, the emperor. I heard that General Murong is back too?"

Chu Tianze nodded. They did not hide the fact that they picked up Murong Yuan that day, and many people knew about it. However, after Murong Yuan returned to Beijing, he just stayed in Murong Mansion and did not go out.

"The eldest sister will be able to see her on the wedding day." The eldest sister was raised by the late queen since she was a child. It is normal for her to be close to the old members of the late queen's family. I think General Murong will also be happy to see the eldest sister.

The eldest princess chuckled and spoke slowly, "In fact, I have never met General Murong, but my mother always liked to talk about the days in the military camp with General Murong and General Wan... Things are different now..."

Chu Tianze comforted her, "Sister, don't be sad. General Murong cares about the late queen just like you do."
