He lives in the city center now. Mu Xinghe is really rich. I don’t know how much he has made.

This was the first thought that came to the minds of the Mu family. They were all very happy, thinking that they had come to the right place.

They were still discussing on the way that Mu Xinghe was usually a blockhead and that even if he became an official in Beijing, he would not think of seeking benefits for himself. That would be too stupid.

Now they felt much more at ease, and the Mu family rushed to the city center like a swarm of bees.

However, when they arrived at the city center, they found that the atmosphere there was much more solemn and dignified. The heavy doors and red walls were blocked by screen walls. The Mu family stretched their necks but could not catch a glimpse of the inside. It was obvious that it was the residence of a noble family.

Mu Xinghe must also live in a courtyard wall like this. They will be able to move in soon, maybe even today.

"Such a wonderful place is beyond the reach of many people in their entire lives. Our Mu family has the Milky Way, and it's just a matter of taking a step forward to reach it." Mu Lao Er said with emotion.

Mu Taoxian held her pockmarked face in her hands and stared at a sedan chair carried out from a high-ranking household with an infatuated look. A corner of the curtain was lifted, revealing a handsome nobleman sitting inside with his eyes closed, resting. His whole body exuded the natural leisure of having been immersed in wealth since childhood, and his face showed a hint of laziness and fatigue after enjoying all the glory.

"If I marry him and become his wife, I will be carried out in a sedan chair every day to go shopping to buy gold and silver jewelry and go to the theater." As she said this, she was about to get off the carriage.

"I've chosen this one, Mu Taoqiu, you can't snatch it from me."

Mu Taoqiu stared at the young master eagerly for a while, then looked away with a hint of disdain on her face.

"Didn't you hear from passersby that the young master of the Marquis' Mansion is going out to relax again? The Five Stone Powder is not a good thing. Besides, it's just the Marquis' Mansion. There are Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Viscounts, and Barons above them. Above them are Marquis' Mansions, Duke's Mansions, and even Princes. To be my husband, you should at least live in the Marquis' Mansion."

Mu Lao San's wife held Mu Taoxian back and said, "Come back, there are better ones. This one is addicted to the Five Stones Powder and is useless. We don't like it."

Even the general public knows the harm of Wu Shi San. Over time, it can cause mental confusion or even dementia.

But Mu Taoxian was outshined by Mu Taoqiu, and she felt resentful. She snorted, "You think that because I have a few pockmarks on my face, I won't marry as well as you. You're also lame. Who would want to marry a lame person? It's embarrassing to take her out. My child doesn't want a lame mother."

"Would you be willing to have a mother who is so ugly that she is unbearable to look at? And how many pockmarks do you have? Your face is covered with pockmarks, even on the whites of your eyes, covering all your facial features. Every time the whole family eats together, I dare not look at your face for fear that I will not be able to eat." Mu Taoqiu mocked.

"When my eldest cousin's wife married into our family, she was plump. Three years later, she lost more than ten pounds. It was because she ate less at every meal because she was always looking at your face."

Tao, the wife of Mu Lao's eldest son, had no intention of listening to the two sisters quarreling. She kept an eye on Mu Xingsheng at all times.

Ever since Mu Xingsheng entered the capital, his eyes have never left the young girls and wives on the streets.

The women in the capital were all dressed in bright clothes, had fair skin and beautiful hairstyles. Some of them were waving fans and twisting their waists. They were a beautiful scenery walking on the street, and people could not take their eyes off them. In comparison, those of them who came from remote countryside were as rustic and shabby as they could be.

Maybe Mu Xingsheng was thinking in his heart that once he got an official position from Mu Xinghe, he would divorce her and find a girl of equal status. Then where would she go?

Mrs. Tao touched her belly and found that she was already pregnant with her second child. She was not afraid because she was the original wife and her status was stable. Others, even if they were of noble status, could only be concubines.

Mu Xingsheng indeed thought so. He glanced at Tao beside him with disdain. She looked pale and thin, as if she had been ill for three years. He sighed secretly. It was too early to get married. He married such a person who was not presentable. He was going to be an official soon. He would talk about it when the time came. Whatever happened would be what it would be.

Now, witnessing the prosperity of the capital, the sons of the Mu family were all distracted, and the daughters were also full of fantasies. Even Mu Lao Si's wife, Wu, thought that she was only in her thirties and might be able to marry a widower from a wealthy family. She glanced at her husband next to her, who was already balding and had a greasy face. She moved away quietly, wondering why she hadn't felt that the person next to her was so disgusting before.

Mu Taoxian and Mu Taoqiu fought each other.

You pull my hair, and I tear your clothes.

The Mu family had a hard time separating the two of them.

"Okay, stop making so much noise and be quiet. The important thing is to find Mu Xinghe first." Boss Mu said with a serious face.

"Brother, how do we find it? There are so many families, and we can't tell which ones are doing business and which ones are officials." said Mu Lao San.

"Yes, when I ask passersby, they either ignore me or can't explain clearly." said Mrs. Wu, the fourth daughter-in-law of Mr. Mu.

Especially when asking about the Qiao family, passers-by would look at them carefully, then wave their hands and say they didn't know, and hurried away. It was really strange.

The Mu family didn't know that the Qiao family was very popular. Their good products were often discounted, and they had an army to defend their country, which attracted a large number of fans. People in the capital didn't want the Qiao family to be harassed by gangsters.

You can tell at first glance that this family is not a good one.

Boss Mu pondered for a moment and came up with a very clever idea: "Then go knock on every door and ask."

In fact, many of the royal families and noble families have "x Mansion" and "x House" inscribed on their door lintels, which are easy to identify. However, no one in the Mu family can read, and they are all blind.

"That's a good idea. Just like in the village, we can knock on the door of strangers and ask, and then we'll know." Mu Lao Si immediately agreed.

"With so many families, we should split up and act accordingly, which will be faster." Mu Laoer looked up at the sky. It was already dusk and it was getting dark. They could only settle down after finding Mu Xinghe, otherwise they would have to pay for accommodation.

In order for Mu Xinghe to take them to a restaurant for a big meal, they all endured their hunger and were starving.

Tired, hungry, thirsty, it was a double torture.

So they split into two groups and knocked on doors at both ends of the main street.

Mu Lao San was the first to knock on the door. He walked around the screen wall, swung his arms, and started knocking on the door.

Such a commotion caused passers-by to stop, look in surprise, and talk about it.

"What are you doing? You're knocking on someone's front door. This is my first time seeing you."

"Are you crazy? Are you mentally ill?"

It's no wonder that passers-by were so surprised, because the main gate of a wealthy family would only be opened on important occasions such as receiving imperial edicts, welcoming weddings, and funerals. People usually used the side doors.
