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

Mo Chenxi was sitting at home when she received news from her parents' home.

The Mo family sent someone to tell her to go back to her parents' home. When she returned, her mother said mysteriously, "Mrs. Wang's family bought a house and will move in in a few days. Dazhi's wife came back and told her that Mrs. Wang's family members are coming to celebrate the New Year, and it's inconvenient for her to stay with someone else."

Mo Chenxi exclaimed, could it be that the Wang family was going to settle in the capital?

Mrs. Mo also thought so. "They're going to settle down in the capital. Xiangxiang's mother said she won't live in a house that's not big enough. Tsk tsk, what kind of business does the Wang family have to make them so rich?"

Mo Chenxi said, "Didn't they say there was a piece of fabric for my sister-in-law's family to ship back to Beijing? Maybe they can start a fabric business."

Old Madam Mo nodded and said, "I guess so. I just realized that Xiangxiang is wearing brocade. Tsk tsk, a little girl wearing brocade, who's family is so extravagant?"

Mo Chenxi had long discovered that Mrs. Wang spent money like water, which meant that her family was also wealthy and she had been accustomed to a luxurious life since childhood.

Sometimes I envy her. Why doesn’t she end up like that? At least she doesn’t have to worry about doing business just to lie down. She can just lie down directly.

A few days later, Mrs. Wang sent her an invitation, and Mo Chenxi prepared a gift. This time, the gift couldn't be just food, but the sentiment must be great. She made up her mind to buy a small screen and put it on the kang.

I am getting more and more anxious to open the restaurant because the social interactions cost a lot of money.

The Wang family invited the entire Mo family, the He family, the Zhou family from Huai County, and Wang Huilan, the fourth wife of Xue.

Except for Wang Huilan, they are all relatives of the Mo family.

This time, both brothers He Wenpu and He Wenliang came, Mo Xinrong's family came, and Mr. Zhou and his wife came with their eldest son and his wife.

Mo Chenxi thought that in the eyes of the Wang family, they had invited a bunch of country people.

With Wang Jingye around, the atmosphere was very lively. The men's table was drinking frequently, the women's table was laughing constantly, and Old Mrs. Mo was holding Xiangxiang tightly.

Wang Yuzhen and He Jingyi were with Nie Lingxuan in her courtyard and were not with everyone else.

In short, it’s lively and bustling.

After Mo Chenxi returned to the He family, He Wenliang came over and said very seriously, "Sister-in-law, this Wang family is not simple. The newly purchased house and the houses in that area are not something that ordinary people can afford. I heard that Mr. Qiu San once wanted to buy the Wang family's house, but he couldn't even find the owner, so it has been vacant ever since."

Mo Chenxi said, "Could it be that the Wang family bought it a long time ago? Big Brother Wang has been to the capital before, and the manor outside the city was newly bought by his cousin. So where did he live before? He must have a place to live. Big Brother Wang is a very particular person and would not stay in an inn. It's possible that he bought the house a long time ago."

He Wenliang said, "If that's the case, it must have been bought in the past few years. Beyond that was the residence of a demoted official, whose property was confiscated by the court, so Mr. Qiu San had his eye on it. I know it was my boss who once said he would be satisfied if he could buy this residence and leave it to his descendants. It's not about the money; even if you have money, you can't buy it."

Mo Chenxi said: "My father also said that the Wang family is not simple, but they are sincere to my family, so we must know what is right and what is wrong."

He Wenliang smiled and said, "It's enough for sister-in-law to know about this. Someone will ask sister-in-law about it later, so please be careful."

Mo Chenxi also smiled, "Thank you for reminding me, Third Brother. I won't be dazzled by wealth. Besides, this isn't the wealth of the Mo or He family. I didn't tell your eldest brother about my relationship with Mrs. Wang because I was afraid he would think merchants were of low status and that revealing anything would embarrass others."

He Wenliang smiled helplessly, "I'll tell my brother about it when he comes back."

A few days later, He Wenyan came back, delivering a document back to Beijing. When he got home, he was exhausted and looked tired.

Mo Chenxi ordered the kitchen to prepare the meal first. Seeing He Wenyan eating with big mouthfuls, he served him a bowl of soup.

"Drink the soup first to avoid indigestion."

He Wenyan took a sip and said, "I came back in a hurry and went to the Ministry of Personnel. I only ate a little in the morning and didn't have lunch."

"Don't worry, that's how stomach problems are caused."

He Wenyan glanced at his wife. Since he came back last time, his wife's attitude has become gentler, not as cold as before.

After He Wenyan finished washing up and changing his clothes, he regained some energy. "This time, the affairs in Tongzhou went smoothly. I pulled a few all-nighters a few days ago. My boss there was very satisfied and asked me to come to Beijing. I think if this case is concluded soon, I will return to Beijing before the New Year."

Mo Chenxi admires He Wenyan's work, which is why he was able to be promoted slowly. Every boss needs a subordinate who is truly responsible for the work.

If he had a high emotional intelligence, he might have been able to reach more than the fifth rank.

Now it has been demoted to the sixth rank.

Mo Chenxi smiled slightly, "Congratulations, Master."

He Wenyan's eyes were gentle and proud.

He was demoted for no apparent reason, and he was determined to work harder. With his experience, he not only completed the two-month progress in one month, but also discovered some problems through clues.

It was not yet dark, and He Wenliang was outside the door, saying that he wanted to chat with his elder brother.

The two brothers went to the study.

He Wenyan told his third brother about his work again. He Wenliang felt sorry for his eldest brother and said, "Don't just focus on work. Don't neglect eating and sleeping. Big brother, you forgot that time when you didn't come home for several days in a row. When you came back, you vomited blood. Your sister-in-law was so distressed that she cried and made medicine for you every day. It took half a year to recover."

He Wenyan took a sip of tea and thought about that time.

He left the family home to his wife and devoted himself to the government office.

Sometimes he was also proud, because it was he who worked hard step by step to bring the He family to its current state.

Starting from the fifth rank, many people who passed the imperial examination only reached the sixth rank, and some only reached the seventh rank throughout their lives.

Like father-in-law.

But how did this once happy family become like this?

He Wenliang said, "I wrote a letter to my mother, telling her about the situation at home and that my eldest brother had gone to Tongzhou."

He Wenyan said unhappily, "Why did you tell Mother about this? Isn't this going to make her anxious?"

He Wenliang said, "Don't you understand Mother's personality? Knowing that you've been demoted, Mother shouldn't exaggerate. If Mother rashly agrees to something at the ancestral home, won't it be difficult for Big Brother later?"

He Wenyan fell silent. Before he left, he told his mother not to tell anyone about what was happening in the capital and not to cause him any trouble.

But he also knew that it was useless to say anything because his mother was very proud and loved to brag.

If the Mo family hadn't forced him, he would not have been willing to send his mother back.

He Wenliang then talked about his visit to the greenhouse when the Wang family bought a house. He Wenyan was surprised because he knew about that residential area.

"Who exactly is the Wang family?"

"I don't know, and my sister-in-law doesn't know either. The women of Mr. Wang's family came to Beijing. Mrs. Wang is Mrs. Xue's senior sister. I heard that the Nie family is also a merchant family."

He told him about the incident that happened in the Zhong family some time ago, and He Wenyan was even more surprised. He heard in Tongzhou that Zhong Hanlin mistakenly recognized his son, and his boss said it was a pity that Zhong Hanlin resigned because of this incident.

He Wenyan didn't expect that it was related to Wang Dongjia.
