Quickly wear a child: a beautiful woman with many children brings happiness

The window door suddenly opened inwards, knocking over the oil lamp on the table. In an instant, the oil in the lamp poured out like a broken dam, quickly flowing onto the books beside it.

With a "whoosh" sound, the fire spread instantly.

Mu Nan was startled by this sudden change and quickly stood up, trying to put out the flames.

At first he was still hoping for a lucky break, thinking that he had discovered the fire in time and taken measures, so the fire in such a small area should be easily extinguished.

However, what he never expected was that the fire seemed to be controlled by some evil force, burning more and more vigorously with no sign of stopping.

The flames rose into the air like a savage fire dragon, raising a billowing flame three meters high. It first mercilessly devoured the mosquito net, and then climbed up to the beams at lightning speed.

In the blink of an eye, the whole house was engulfed in flames.

Mu Nan was horrified and didn't have time to think about it. He shouted at the top of his lungs and ran out of the door in panic.

Many servants rushed to the scene upon hearing the news and rushed to put out the fire. However, despite their best efforts, they were still unable to stop the fire from raging fiercely.

It was not until dawn that the fire gradually died down. The once glorious and magnificent Mu Mansion had now become a ruin, which was truly a pity.

"What is going on?" Old Mrs. Mu was very sad.

She was woken up in the middle of the night and only had time to put on her coat before being pulled out. Now the wind blew on her body and she felt cold. She couldn't help but sneeze.

Mu Nan felt something was wrong and said gloomily, "I don't know what's going on. The fire seemed to be flying. It was about to be extinguished, but the sparks splashed to other places, and other places also caught fire immediately. It must burn our entire shogunate to ashes before it stops."

"I'm glad you're okay." Mu's mother comforted her.

It was Mu Nan who started the fire, and no one dared to scold him. Therefore, even if everyone was saddened by the burnt house, they could only shake their heads and sigh helplessly.

"Now that the house has been burned down like this, it is definitely uninhabitable. What should we do next?" Mu Dong asked with a worried look on his face.

Liu said, "We have more than a dozen people in our family, and we also have servants. We can't all live outside. If others see us, they will definitely laugh at us."

Uncle Mu's voice rang out: "In my opinion, it would be better to buy a house first. No matter what, we have to have a place to stay. Even if we don't live here in the future, we can leave it as a foundation for our descendants."

Uncle Mu sighed worriedly, "That being said, the capital city is very expensive. How easy is it to buy a house? The price must be very high..."

"Have you forgotten?" Mu Bei said, "Princess Zhao Yan gave our family many precious things before. That box of gold notes alone is enough to buy ten houses."

Hearing this, the originally dull atmosphere suddenly became lively.

"So much!" Liu sighed, "The royal family has a lot of money."

Uncle Mu said: "Of course, he was born with a golden key in his mouth, unlike us!"

Mu Jinhua retorted: "Our family is not bad, Princess Chaoyan will marry into our family in the future."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Mu's mother said, "The burned house was given to us by Princess Chao Yan. Now that it has burned down, she must be responsible for rebuilding it."

Mu Xi said, "I heard that the royal family has a group of people who specialize in building palaces and gardens for the emperor. Let Princess Chaoyan call them over. I also want to enjoy it."

"Hush, are you going to kill yourself by saying that?"

"What are you afraid of? Everyone here is our family." Mu Xi said.

Mu Bei touched Mu Nan's arm and said, "Third brother, what do you think? Why don't we go out and buy a house first?"

Mu Nan also wants to buy a house.

Princess Chaoyan knew that his house was burned down, and considering how much she cared about him, she would definitely send him the deed of a good location. If he bought the house himself, he could just say he didn't want it, and then wait for Princess Chaoyan to give him the deed in her hand.

However, he had already used up all the gold notes he had in his lavish spending at Qunfang Building. How could he buy another house now?

He thought again of the box of gold, silver and treasures that Princess Chaoyan was holding in her hand when she stopped him yesterday, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

If Princess Chaoyan had stuffed the thing into his hands and left yesterday as usual, he wouldn't be so embarrassed now.

He made up his mind that if Princess Chaoyan didn't add some things to the box before sending it to him, he would not forgive her.

"Third brother." Mu Dong said, "I think what Ah Bei said is right. Let's go buy a house outside and settle down first. Grandma is old and can't stand the wind."

It was a freezing cold day, and a family of more than a dozen people were standing there stupidly. There was a yard full of servants who needed to be accommodated, and everyone was waiting for him to give the order.

Mu Nan said, "The fire was so big last night that everyone nearby must have known about it. Princess Chaoyan is well-informed and it is impossible that she doesn't know anything. Let's wait a little longer. The house she gives us must be better than what we can buy ourselves."

Mu Dong knew it very well, but the weather was too cold and it was about to snow. It was also unknown when Princess Chaoyan would come. They had money in their hands, so why should they suffer like this?

Seeing Mu Nan's hesitation, Mu's mother advised, "Son, I think we have to buy this house. Only after we buy it will we have confidence. If we don't buy it and wait for Princess Chaoyan to help us, then our previous efforts will be in vain."

Old Madam Mu nodded: "There was a big fire last night, and many people must be watching our house, wanting to see how we deal with our furniture. If we do nothing and just wait for Princess Chaoyan to help, they will definitely look down on us."

Mother Mu: "We have no roots in the capital, so we should be extra cautious with every step."

"Mother is right." Mu Nan said, "I will send someone to the palace to ask for leave, and then go to the pawnshop to find a house."

"No need to go to so much trouble." Mother Mu said, "I saw a house in West City yesterday. It is decorated very elegantly and is spacious and bright. It is very suitable for a scholarly family like us to live in. It has three courtyards and costs only five thousand taels of silver."

"So expensive!" Old Mrs. Mu gasped.

"Mom, the capital city emphasizes that the east is rich and the west is noble. The west is inhabited by noble people, so the houses there are naturally expensive. I don't know how many people want to squeeze in to be neighbors with noble people. The houses there are not always available for purchase."
