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

Without waiting for his great-uncle to ask about the Nie brothers, Wang Jingye spoke directly, "Chengping's brother-in-law Xiang Ming went hunting in the mountains yesterday and fell into a trap. He is unconscious. My nephew has called in the imperial physician to treat him. My wife and the Nie brothers are both guarding the manor."

Old Master Wang said to his eldest son, "Go and see him. He's from Guanzhong. His father is a good man, so why is his son so naughty?"

Wang Shiwei stood up and answered yes.

Wang Jingye had no choice but to settle his great-uncle down and took his uncle and cousin to the farm, while his uncle stayed to take care of his great-uncle.

When they arrived at the village, Xiao Xiangming had already woken up and looked like he had escaped death.

Wang Shiwei was a military general and knew a little about external injuries. He asked the imperial physician and also looked at the hole on Xiao Xiangming's back. He politely said that he had some medicine for external injuries and would send someone to deliver it after he returned.

Nie Chengping declined even more politely, "No need, the imperial physician has medicine, and the Zhou family's grandfather also sent some secret medicine."

Wang Jingye explained, "Old Master Zhou is the head of an escort agency I know. At the time, the situation was urgent. Cheng'an's brother-in-law sprained his ankle, so we asked Old Master Zhou to come and fix his bones."

Wang Shiwei comforted him with a few words, and the father and son followed Wang Jingye back to the city.

As a result, Wang Jingye stayed at home to entertain the guests, while Old Master Wang traveled all the way. It was really hard at his age, and he took several days of rest before he recovered.

Wang Jingye waited for his great-uncle to ask to enter the palace, but his great-uncle did not even ask. Instead, he asked his cousin to visit several families, and those families came to the Wang family one after another to visit his great-uncle.

For a time, everyone in the capital knew that Queen Mother Wang’s grandfather and father had come to the capital. Regardless of whether they were acquainted with the Wang family or not, the wealthy and powerful, and even royal relatives such as Prince Weixing, came to visit the Wang family in person.

Wang Jingye smiled bitterly, not knowing what his great uncle was planning.

And he also made public his identity as the Queen Mother's cousin, which had been tacitly known before.

Mo Yuanji heard from his son that Mr. Nie's brother-in-law was injured and was saved by the wine made by his daughter.

It should be his daughter's recipe. He and his daughter made it together in the farm. It was a coincidence that it was used shortly after it was made.

My daughter said that this wine cannot be drunk, but it is very useful. It can reduce the temperature of patients with fever and can be used to disinfect knives used in surgery.

Why do many wounds still fester after using medicine? It’s because the tools used are not clean.

Mo Yuanji knew this. Not to mention anything else, the scissors used by midwives would be soaked in the medicinal soup before use.

He was skeptical about what his daughter said. He hadn't tried it yet. He couldn't go to the clinic and find a patient with a fever to try it out. He had to wait until someone in his family caught a cold and had a fever before trying it.

Unexpectedly, Haner said it directly when Mr. Nie's brother-in-law had a fever. Fortunately, the patient's temperature dropped, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

Mo Yuanji is a cautious person. If he were there, he would hesitate, because it is not easy to say something that you are not sure about. What if it delays the treatment?

He only told his son to deliver vegetables and meat to Wang's farm every day. He did not go there himself, thinking that he would wait for a while before visiting, so that the Nie brothers would not have to greet him if he went.

A few days later, news spread in Beijing that Queen Mother Wang's father and brother had come to Beijing. The boss Wang, who built the house for Mo's Restaurant, was Queen Mother Wang's cousin. The business of Mo's Restaurant became even better. Mo Yuanji's former colleagues, acquaintances, and people he had dealt with came to pay him a visit.

Mo Yuanji was entertaining guests at home all day and couldn't leave. He told his two sons not to accept any invitations from anyone.

He did not think that the Mo family had become extremely wealthy as outsiders thought, but this was the first time he was so panicked.

It was one thing to guess it before, but he didn't think it was a good thing when it actually came true. The Mo family's foundation was too weak, and he was worried that they couldn't bear it.

Mo Chenxi also received some invitations, but she rejected them all on the grounds of feeling unwell. No one thought she was being disrespectful because she was indeed sick. She had been riding back and forth, sweating and catching a cold, and she was coughing non-stop. How could she go to someone else's house for a banquet?

Old Mrs. Zhao and her daughter-in-law came to visit in person, and Old Mrs. Cao and her eldest daughter-in-law also came to visit. For the first time, Mrs. Jiang also came and brought many gifts. She saw in person that Mo Chenxi was coughing incessantly and looked haggard. It was obvious that he was not pretending.

She vigorously promoted how close she and Mrs. He were in the past, and she felt extremely sorry that Mrs. He had to endure her illness to entertain her during this visit.

She shed tears as she spoke.

Therefore, no one sent invitations to Mo Chenxi anymore, but more families sent their maids to deliver supplements to the He family.

The He family didn't know that Mo Chenxi knew Queen Mother Wang. They only knew that Wang Dongjia, who was friends with the Mo family, was Queen Mother Wang's in-laws. Everyone was surprised and envious.

Bao and Fan showed even more respect to their eldest sister-in-law. Fan thought to herself, why didn’t her family have such good luck?

Mo Chenxi was ill, and the Mo family knew the reason. Old Mrs. Mo came in person several times, and He Jingyi and her sisters also moved back. One reason was that the Chinese New Year was approaching and they could not celebrate it at their grandparents' home, and the other was that their mother was ill and they had to take care of her.

He Shanluo was also at home. In ancient times, filial piety was paramount. Even if you were a minister, you had to ask for leave to go home and take care of your parents if they were sick.

He Shanqiao also took a leave of absence and sat in a daze with his cousin. He could not serve closely or read, so he boiled medicine and sat in a daze after boiling the medicine.

Mrs. Wang's youngest daughter, Xiangxiang, had to stay in the Mo family. Because Xiao Xiangming was injured in the farm, Mrs. Wang could not take care of her daughter.

When Mrs. Mo learned that the little girl she was holding was the Queen Mother's cousin, she was actually very calm because she had guessed it before.

"I don't care who Xiangxiang is. I just feel sorry for her because she's close to me. She calls me Grandma Mo, so I treat her as my own granddaughter."

Mo Yuanji called the whole family together and talked seriously about the Wang family's affairs.

"Don't think that just because we know the Queen Mother's family, our Mo family will rise to prominence overnight. Others' compliments aren't due to the Mo family, so the Mo family should be more cautious and reflect on themselves every day to see if they've caused trouble for the Wang family or done anything that would bring shame to the Mo family.

"If you take advantage of this relationship and get ripped off, you deserve it. If you bring trouble to your family, I can spank you a few times to teach you a lesson. But if it's a serious matter, you might endanger your parents' lives and the entire family. You understand. From now on, read a chapter of the Spring and Autumn Annals every night and copy it for me."

The Mo Xinzhi brothers stood up and listened to the lecture.

Old Mrs. Mo told her two daughters-in-law to steam buns every day, saying that they should think about the beggars outside who couldn't even eat buns during the New Year. If the Mo family encountered misfortune, the whole family would be worse off than the beggars.

So, at the entrance of Jiujiangli, buns were given to beggars for free.

When Mo Chenxi heard her mother talk about her mother's family's practices when she came to see her, she gave her a thumbs up.

My father could say and do such things after he became rich, so there is hope for the Mo family to rise.

I wonder what would happen if He Wenyan found out.

When He Wenyan was in Tongzhou, his superiors there were even more polite to him, with a touch of intimacy. They even personally invited him to drink and spoke respectfully to him.

He Wenyan was very confused.

I thought to myself, why not let him return to Beijing? Is he going to stay in Tongzhou for the rest of his life?

He didn't want to do that. He decided to wait until he returned to Beijing and visit Doctor Wu to ask him what was going on.
