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

He Wenyan was shocked when he heard from his third brother that Zhong Hanlin's affairs also involved Wang Dongjia.

All the officials in the court knew Zhong Hanlin. He Wenyan was not at a level that allowed him to have close contact with Zhong Hanlin. He had only seen him from afar a few times.

Now I remember that the first time I met Nie Chengping, I felt that he looked like someone. At that time, I couldn’t think of who he looked like, but now I know he looked like Zhong Hanlin.

He said, "It's true. No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity when I first met Mr. Nie. There are people who look alike. One year, there was a case where a local playboy committed a crime, and he found someone who looked a lot like him to take his place. A few years later, he got drunk and told everyone about it. The family, who had only one son for three generations, took it to the highest authorities and took the case to the capital, where it was reopened."

Now no one in the capital doubted this matter. He Wenliang nodded and said yes to what his elder brother said, "Now the He family's matter has been brought up again and discussed. The He family is so angry that they have been staying indoors recently."

He Wenyan asked again, "Is your sister-in-law's family restaurant finished?"

"It's almost done. After everything is installed, we need to leave some space to add some dining tables and chairs, as well as some decorative calligraphy and paintings. Big brother, this restaurant cost a lot to build. All the materials used are high-quality, and the windows are all glazed. At first, I wondered where the Mo family got so much money. I went to help whenever I had time, and then I asked Brother Dazhi about it. After asking, I found out that the Wang family paid for the construction of this restaurant."

He Wenliang felt strange. Why would Wang Dongjia give such a large sum of money to the Mo family for no reason, and the person involved was a stranger?

He Wenliang laughed and said, "This is the first time I've heard of such people in the world. Brother Dazhi said it was what my sister-in-law called obsessive-compulsive disorder, saying that the Mo family's grandmother was a bit like this. My sister-in-law took after her grandmother, that is, if she wants to do something, she has to do it, and she can't sleep if she doesn't.

"Wang Dongjia has a hobby, he likes to build houses. He can't move the ancestral home of the Wang family, so he built one outside. Wherever he sees a bad house, he wants to tear it down and rebuild it.

"Brother Dazhi originally thought that since he has traveled a lot and has a lot of experience, he could help to look at how to build a restaurant. Now, he is eager to do it. He drew a design and said how to build it. According to his design, my sister-in-law's family doesn't have so much money. So he said he would pay for it, and it would be considered a loan, and he would pay it back when he had money."

He Wenliang laughed again when he said this. "This Wang Dongjia's condition is that you don't interfere with him. This is also thanks to Uncle Mo's easygoing attitude. In addition to letting Brother Dazhi follow Wang Dongjia, that also means that he will learn things from him and then leave him alone."

When He Wenyan heard his third brother talk about obsessive-compulsive disorder, he remembered that a boss he had when he first started working was like that. He would not let his subordinates finish whatever he wanted without eating or sleeping.

Moreover, that boss couldn't stand the sight of dust, so where they worked, everyone wiped the tables and windowsills several times a day.

A colleague was curious about his boss's family life. After asking around, he learned that his boss didn't even have a concubine. All the servants kept rags in their hands. The floor of his house was covered with coarse cloth, which was changed and washed every day.

Some people are curious and want to know how his wife and him live. Some people say that the couple lives in a separate yard. Not to mention his wife, even his mother can't stand his behavior.

This boss never ate out, and he was always worried about the kitchen at home, always watching over every meal. Later, a cold took his life, and he told his mother about it. His mother said being too particular was bad, and it would shorten his life.

He Wenyan heard his third brother say what his brother-in-law said, that his wife was somewhat like her grandmother. After thinking about it, he found that it was indeed true.

He later advised his wife not to demand perfection in everything, but she said, "Why be lazy and not do what you can do? If you insist on forcing yourself, you will get sick."

He Wenyan said: "We don't understand rich people, but he was able to take out money to help the Mo family build a restaurant, which can be regarded as helping the Mo family."

He Wenliang felt that his elder brother's tone was a bit sour, and he understood.

After listening to what Brother Dazhi said, he felt jealous. Not to mention their He family, how many families have worked hard all their lives to have enough food to eat? The laborers at the docks were eagerly waiting for work.

However, because of his own hobbies, Wang Dongjia spent such a large sum of money, which was more than the He family could save in their entire lives.

He Wenyan said, "I'll rest for a few more days when I come back this time. You're already familiar with the Wang family, so you can invite them over and get to know the women of the Wang family."

He Wenliang didn't mention that his eldest sister-in-law and Wang Dongjia's wife were already sisters. He said, "The Wang family can't be invited because of the incident of Zhong Hanlin's mistaken identity. Mr. Nie is even more so. His personality is a bit like Brother Dazhi's. He doesn't care about people he doesn't want to see or things he doesn't like."

He Wenyan thought of his brother-in-law. Ever since his wife fell ill, he ignored him when he saw him. Out of courtesy, he had to call him brother-in-law, and didn't say a word to him.

I think my wife might be a little like this too. As my third brother said, she had grown cold towards him and was very cold to him after she fell seriously ill. It took her a long time to gradually become more friendly towards him.

"Whether they come or not is their business. We should always be grateful. At least Mr. Nie is still teaching Shanluo. I haven't met Shanluo yet. How is his study going?"

He Wenliang suddenly became excited. "I've seen Shanluo's homework. Mr. Nie is indeed extraordinary. This is just a simple guide. If he were to teach in the capital, I would definitely hand over my daughter Yu'er to him. I heard that he teaches all students from the beginning and doesn't accept students who have followed a teacher before. He was sick when he took the imperial examination, otherwise he would have no problem getting into the top ten."

Scholars admire those with good knowledge. He Wenyan regretted that he had underestimated Mr. Nie last time and said, "I'll go visit him tomorrow."

He Wenliang couldn't say anything to you not to go, but just reminded: "Don't be surprised if you meet Mr. Nie's sister."

He Wenyan said, "Why would I meet a female relative?"

He Wenliang...

"Mr. Nie's sister is like a little girl. Sometimes she would go to the front yard to look for Mr. Nie."

He Wenyan understood immediately and nodded.

After returning to his wife, he said that he would visit the Wang family tomorrow to thank Mr. Nie.

Mo Chenxi then remembered that he had not yet told him that the Jingyi sisters were living in her mother's house and were learning kung fu with her sister-in-law, so he told him.

He Wenyan frowned and said, "What are you talking about? Jingyi is getting married soon, so she should learn some needlework. Yinhua is still young, and it would be rude for her to learn those movements. She should study more."

When Mo Chenxi heard him say that reading more was a good idea, she didn't say anything about a woman's virtue without talent. She patiently explained, "I also want to learn some basic skills to strengthen my body. Yinhua is not as good as Jingyi and is a bit thin. Who doesn't consider the body when choosing a daughter-in-law? Madam Zhao likes Jingyi because she is generous and in good health."

He Wenyan heard his wife say this and stopped objecting. "It's okay to study for a year. Women should always be dignified and quiet."

Mo Chenxi said: "Mother and second sister also said this."

He Wenyan was silent. Did he know that Madam was hinting that your mother and sister were quiet?
