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

When He Wenliang saw Mo Yuanji was angry, he stood up and bowed.

Mo Yuanji continued to rage, "Where's your brother? Why didn't he come for his own affairs? He ran back from Tongzhou for his own sister, but he was so calm when it came to his own wife? Regardless of whether it's true or not, will he explain to my Mo family? Does he take me, his father-in-law, seriously?"

The more he talked, the angrier he became. He was originally just using this as an excuse to vent his anger, but then he thought about it, his son-in-law didn't come to explain himself, but asked his brother to do it. What kind of attitude is this?

He Wenliang also blamed his elder brother in his heart. Early in the morning, his elder brother wanted to return to Tongzhou. He asked him whether he wanted to go to the Mo family to make things clear. His elder brother remained silent and then said, "The innocent will be innocent."

He was about to die of anger, and said angrily: "Then I'll go and explain it clearly."

The eldest brother was silent again.

He was so angry that he thought, your brother-in-law deserves to beat you.

Faced with Uncle Mo's anger, He Wenliang had to make amends for his elder brother.

"There's something important going on in Tongzhou that can't be delayed. My eldest brother rushed back before daybreak. Uncle, it's our He family who is sorry for this."

He Wenliang knelt down, tears streaming down his face. "Uncle, please have pity on my elder brother. He can't sleep for more than three hours a day, and his hands are red and swollen from the cold. My father passed away early, and my elder brother and I treat you like our own father."

Mo Yuanji thought to himself that he deserved it and asked why he hadn't done that earlier.

He knew that He Wenliang was using a self-torture trick, but the son-in-law's matter had nothing to do with him. He saw that his hands were also red and swollen. How could it not be hard to learn to grow flowers in the middle of winter?

But you work hard for your He family, not for my Mo family. Why should I pity you? My son works hard in the fields, have you pity him?

Although Mo Yuanji thought so in his heart, he couldn't make things difficult for He Wenliang who had nothing to do with it.

He stood up and helped He Wenliang up. "What are you doing? Get up quickly. I know you are a sensible kid. You always apologize to me for your brother. I am really angry. I shouldn't say these things in front of you. It's not your fault."

What he said was that it was your brother's fault and you didn't have to help him out.

He Wenliang stood up and wiped his tears. "Thank you, uncle. The He family's fault is my fault. If you can forgive me, I will have the face to see you next time."

Mo Xinzhi, who had been eavesdropping at the door, walked in and bowed to He Wenliang, saying, "Brother He, I hit my brother-in-law without asking clearly. I apologize to you. However, my sister suffered injustice in the He family and nearly died of illness there. This is an indisputable fact, and it makes me angry just thinking about it. You can stand up for your sisters, and as a brother, I will also stand up for my sister. I will come to your house again if there is any problem in the future."

Mo Yuanji didn't know what was going on, but he heard that his son beat his son-in-law.

In his heart, he said that he had beaten him well, but in his face he scolded him: "How could you do such a thing? Beat your brother-in-law without asking any questions? Tell me, do you respect your father?"

Mo Xinzhi knelt down and said, "It's my fault. I was afraid that Dad would get angry if I told him. It's not worth it to get angry over such a villain."

Mo Yuanji was so happy in his heart, because his son scolded him well.

He frowned and said, "How can you talk like that? Who is the villain? Go back and copy the Analects and understand how the sages teach their students. You are a scholar, a scholar too. Don't forget the most basic principles of being a scholar."

Mo Xinzhi answered yes, and stood up and said to He Wenliang, "I need to copy the Analects, so I don't have time to entertain you."

gone.

He Wenliang blushed. He was also a scholar, and his elder brother was a Jinshi. Uncle Mo was talking to him about the principles of life for scholars.

Mo Yuanji had long regretted choosing He Wenyan as his son-in-law. At the beginning, he thought He Wenyan was well-behaved, had a successful academic career, and came from a simple family. Although it was a small family, he had no messy relatives.

I thought my daughter wouldn’t have to work too hard after getting married.

Who would have known that the He family, a small family, would be like this?

The well-behaved He Wenyan couldn't even deal with his own mother and sister.

If you only look at my son-in-law, he is well-behaved. Although I helped him behind the scenes, he gradually rose up on his own, so he is not too bad.

But why did life become like this?

Everyone knew that Madam Xue of the General's Mansion was foolish and had spoiled her youngest son, causing his death. However, if General Xue spoke on important matters at home, Madam Xue would not dare to object.

They are also mother and son, and no one said that General Xue was unfilial.

Mo Chenxi is currently at Wang's house. She and Mrs. Wang are going to attend a banquet at Li Daxueshi's residence.

Last time, after Doctor An treated Madam Li, he had contact with the Wang family, so the Li family sent an invitation to the Wang family, inviting Madam Wang and her two sisters-in-law to attend the banquet.

The theme of the banquet was that the peonies planted by Mrs. Li had bloomed, and she invited her close female relatives to come and enjoy the flowers.

Why did Mo Chenxi think that He Wenyan’s suggestion of planting flowers was a good idea? Because many banquets were held in the name of flower viewing. The host bought flowers and the guests also brought flowers. It was impossible to buy ordinary flowers because they were all expensive.

So there is business to be done.

When the Li family invited people to appreciate peonies, the guests would not bring peonies with them. Instead, Mrs. Wang prepared roses.

This was the first time that the women of the Wang and Nie families appeared in an event for high-ranking women in Beijing. Mrs. Wang and her two sisters-in-law were dressed formally. They didn't wear many pieces of jewelry, but they were all very valuable.

Mo Chenxi couldn't compare with them. I'm afraid everyone knew what her conditions were. There was no need for her to pretend to be rich, but she also tried to be more luxurious. The jewelry was picked out from the gifts given to her by Mrs. Wang, just to make things look more presentable.

She looked at Nie Chengping's wife. She was so beautiful, so beautiful that she couldn't bear to blink. She wondered how many girls would be jealous of her appearance this time.

Fortunately, she married into the Nie family and had the protection of the Queen Mother. Otherwise, with her looks, who knows what those men who rely on their family background would do.

Nie Chengan's wife, Shang, is considered ordinary. The other four of them, except Xiao, are all ordinary.

Mrs. Wang is a little petite, Mrs. Shang is generous, and Mo Chenxi looks weak.

When they arrived at the residence of Grand Secretary Li, as soon as the curtain of the carriage was lifted, a maid came up to them with a smile on her face. She first bowed and then helped Madam Wang out of the carriage.

"Madam Wang, my wife asked me to wait for her. She is looking forward to your coming."

Several maids came forward and helped the others get off the carriage one by one.

Xiao and Shang wanted to give in to Mo Chenxi. Firstly, Madam He was older than them, and secondly, the elder sister-in-law treated Madam He like an elder, so they naturally respected her.

The maids who were sent out to welcome the female members of the Wang family were all capable servants around Madam Li, and were considered knowledgeable. However, when they saw Xiao, they were all surprised. Fortunately, they did not lose their composure, and welcomed the people in politely and respectfully.

For such banquets, the Li family would clear the area outside the main gate in advance to prevent idlers from eavesdropping on the ladies of the wealthy family from afar.

Mrs. Wang and her sister-in-law did not bring their daughter, and Mo Chenxi did not know how to bring her either, making them look like nouveau riche who had never seen the world.

In fact, in ancient times, neither her original self nor the one she traveled through time had ever seen such a gathering of women from wealthy and powerful families.
