Dressed as a middle-aged mistress, I want to lie down every day

Seeing that his sister-in-law's forehead was sweating from nervousness, Mo Chenxi comforted her:

"It's okay, take your time. You haven't met Wang Dongjia's cousin yet. I'm also nervous because of her aura. I always say the wrong thing in front of her, and I always force myself to speak. If you don't dare to speak, just nod and smile. Mrs. Wang and the others are not arrogant, they are all very kind."

She also whispered that Mrs. Wang had a little sister, who was like a girl, so she told them in advance so that her mother and others wouldn't look at her strangely.

After hearing this, both Mrs. Mo and her daughter-in-law understood that there were people among the people who were as stupid as a few-year-old child, but girls usually did not live long, and when a boy grew up, he could just buy a wife to carry on the family line.

Zhou's eyes showed sympathy. When she was a child, there was a stupid girl next door. When she was five or six years old, her family deliberately led her into the river, and she eventually died.

Her mother told her that there was nothing she could do. If a grown-up girl ran around everywhere, who knew who would harm her and bring shame to her family while she was pregnant.

The Nie family is a good family that was able to raise my sister until she was in her twenties.

Mrs. Mo waited for her daughter to go out, and then she told her daughter-in-law, "Don't be silly. People are doing this for your eldest sister's sake, so you should follow her. Her daughter Xiangxiang is not shy, so you should hug her more. If you see the little sister of the Nie family, play with her and make sure you keep an eye on her and don't let her go out."

Mrs. Wang brought her younger sister with her and would not leave her alone.

This time, the meal was divided into two tables, one for men and one for women. The dishes were divided into spicy and non-spicy. After the meal, Mo Yuanji talked to Wang Jingye alone. He said that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, two groups of people went to Mojiazhuang to inquire about him. He intuitively felt that it was because the Mo family knew Wang Dongjia.

Wang Jingye thought it was because of his brother-in-law. He knew that his brother-in-law had taken his sister-in-law out before, so he was recognized.

It can only be from Zhong Hanlin’s residence, who could the other group of people be?

Is this the residence of Grand Secretary Li?

He heard from his wife that his sister-in-law looked exactly like his mother-in-law.

You can't stop my brother-in-law and sister-in-law from going out because of this. It's not their fault, but the truth cannot be told to the Mo family.

"Perhaps it was someone sent by Third Master Qiu. He will never let go of a grudge. I'm sorry, it's my husband and I who have implicated the Mo family. But uncle, don't worry, he won't dare to make any move. General Xue returned to the capital before the New Year, and he still doesn't dare to mess with the General's Mansion."

Mo Yuanji nodded, "That's good. I was afraid that we would get you into trouble."

Wang Jingye didn't want to continue chatting, so he made an excuse to leave.

The appearance of the brother-in-law not only alarmed the Zhong family and the Li family, but also another family. If they knew, I wonder what they would do.

His father-in-law's family, the Nie family, was not originally surnamed Nie, but Ji. The Ji Mansion in the west of the capital was a side branch, and the main branch was the Nie family in Guanzhong.

Every educated person knows the Ji family in the west of the city. It is a family with hundreds of years of history. No one dares to call themselves the eldest when the Ji family calls themselves the second in command.

More than two hundred years ago, more than half of the officials in the imperial court were descendants and students of the Ji family. One year later, there was a change of dynasty. After that, the Ji family not only stopped accepting students, but also stopped their descendants from taking the imperial examinations and becoming officials.

However, the Ji family's reputation remains.

Except for the members of the Ji family, no outsiders are allowed to enter the Ji family's library.

A descendant of the Ji family secretly brought his brother-in-law in, and as a result, that descendant was expelled from the family. Even the emperor didn't dare to ask to take the books from your library to read.

One emperor tried to say it, and after he finished speaking, the head of the Ji family went back and sat at the door of the library and committed suicide by swallowing pills.

What he meant was that if he wanted my Ji family to take out the books from the library, he would have to do it over my dead body.

Since then, the Ji family's library has been a mysterious existence.

When the descendants of the Ji family marry, they rarely marry people from the capital. No one knows where they came from, but it is easy to find out which family their ancestors came from. The current lady of the Ji family is the daughter of the Chen family, a declining family in southern Fujian. The Chen family is said to be descendants of Chen Yuanguang.

The reason why Wang Jingye knew that the Nie family was the direct branch of the Ji family was because his cousin told him.

He admired his cousin, who was as meticulous as any man, and he didn't know where she found out all this.

Neither his wife nor his brother-in-law knew about it, because such secrets were only known to the eldest son of the Nie family, and he told the eldest son before he died.

His father-in-law died accidentally without any explanation.

The cousin wanted to take advantage of the fact that her brother-in-law did not know the last words of his ancestors and took office, and find a way to restore the name of the direct branch of the Ji family, and then lead the descendants of the Ji family in the capital to serve as officials in the court.

When the dynasty changed that year, in order to preserve the bloodline and collection of books, the direct branch of the Ji family fled to Guanzhong, taking away most of the collection, and only a small part remained in the branch in the capital.

My cousin guessed that the Ji family’s ancestors left a will that the direct branch of the family would not return to the capital, and the descendants of the side branches would not be able to enter the officialdom.

In order to preserve the collection of books, the direct branch of the family let his son marry the daughter of a mountain bandit and engage in business. Later, he felt ashamed of the reputation of his ancestors and told his descendants to return the collection of books to the capital if they had the chance and never to take the imperial examinations again.

His father-in-law passed away unexpectedly and no one knew where the collection of books was. A few years after he got married, his cousin asked him to come to Beijing and told him these things, asking him to find the collection of books and to bring his brother-in-law to Beijing for the exam.

Who knew that because of his negligence, his brother-in-law passed the imperial examination but did not enter the officialdom, but became a teacher. He was so angry that he slapped himself twice.

How could he know that this was the reason why his brother-in-law couldn't drink? If he had known this, he would never have sent him a jar of wine even if he was beaten to death.

Since his brother-in-law did not become an official teacher, he thought that his brother-in-law was indeed a direct descendant of the Ji family. He was arrogant and stubborn, and after a long time, he turned out to be like his grandmother, Madam Zhong, and his mother, Mrs. Li.

As for the collection of books, so many years have passed and he has tried his best but still can't find it.

Now that we know that Chengping’s biological mother is the daughter of Li Daxueshi, it’s no wonder that his father-in-law is determined to marry him despite the pressure from his family.

My cousin once sighed that the direct branch of the Ji family was indeed extraordinary. Even if they were engaged in business, they could accumulate countless fortunes.

In Guanzhong, the Nie family built bridges and temples from generation to generation. When faced with natural disasters and man-made disasters, they donated countless silver coins to provide relief. Their descendants studied for generations and were known as Confucian businessmen.

It's a pity that the blood of bandits and merchants is mixed in the Nie family, and the family property is fought openly and secretly.

His cousin knew Chengping wasn't of the Nie family, so she told him to stay away. Since ancient times, mixing bloodlines has been a taboo, and Chengping couldn't claim to be of the Ji family's direct lineage. Only his younger brother, Nie Cheng'an, was his father-in-law's bloodline.

From the names the father-in-law gave his two brothers-in-law, we can tell that he hopes his children will be safe and sound. He would not think of sending the collection of books back to the capital in these two generations, as that would have to reveal that the Nie family's original surname was Ji.

However, his father-in-law once asked him about the Wang family in Pingyang Prefecture. Among the Nie family and the Wang family, only Mrs. Xue Si and her daughter-in-law had the same master, and the others had no contact with each other.

He went to Yunnan and Guizhou this time because his cousin told him that the ancestor of the Nie family married the daughter of a bandit. After the bandit's descendants retired from the business, they returned to their ancestral home in Yunnan and Guizhou with their families.

The cousin suspected that the Nie family had gone to Yunnan and Guizhou and hid the books there. Wang Jingye made a special trip there and searched everywhere but couldn't find anything. There was only one very strange phenomenon.

Logically speaking, they should have been the first to become relatives with the Nie family, but hundreds of years have passed and the descendants of the two families have no contact with each other, nor do they know that their ancestors were relatives.

Also, the year my father-in-law's first wife passed away, he was away for more than a year. No one knew where he went or where he met Chengping's mother.

After his father-in-law passed away, his father-in-law's younger brother wanted to use his mother-in-law's unknown background to attack the eldest son's family. Fortunately, his father-in-law's mother was still alive and tried her best to protect the eldest son's descendants.

Otherwise, even if he protected her, as a son-in-law, he would not be able to interfere in Yue's family affairs.
