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

Mo Yuanji went to his daughter in person again and told her about the candidates he had chosen.

Mo Chenxi first felt sympathy for her cousin Mo Guihua who was not out of the fifth degree of kinship, but was also worried that her stepmother would come to the He family to look for Mo Guihua in the future.

Mo Yuanji said, "Don't worry about this. The clan leader is more worried about this issue than we are. He doesn't want his sister-in-law and nephew to get the benefits. He will find a way to suppress them."

Mo Chenxi agreed to meet the person. Just like his father said, the family and he complement each other and everyone benefits.

When she met the man, the first thing she was satisfied with was his height. He was half a head taller than her, so he could support He Wenyan and, in the future, could also support Old Mrs. Jiang.

She looks above average, but if she dresses up properly she will look better than her.

Perhaps it was because she had lived in the patriarch's house for the next few years, had a good diet, and grew up strong, so she agreed with her decision to find a second wife to replace her mother-in-law and husband because she was ill and could not take care of her.

Mo Chenxi gave her some rouge and powder. Mo Guihua took it flattered and knelt down to thank him.

The clan leader's wife came with her. After hearing Mo Chenxi's instructions, she helped her up and said softly, "Listen to your cousin from now on. Mother will be relieved when she is at home."

Mo Chenxi knew that the child had been adopted, and the clan leader acted quickly, as this was related to his own family's interests.

Mo Guihua stood up and thanked him again. One could see caution and fear in her eyes. Her clenched hands had thick joints, which was due to years of doing heavy work.

Mo Guihua felt that being allowed to join the He family as a second wife was the best thing on earth. She had grown up under the care of her stepmother, who had beaten and scolded her for work, not to mention not giving her enough to eat. She didn't even have a decent blanket for her bed. Her stepmother also forbade her relatives from giving her any, and she would scold anyone who did. Her stepbrothers and sisters also didn't treat her like a human being. When their father was alive, they could still protect her a little. But after his death, her stepmother became even more abusive. Her eldest uncle couldn't stand it anymore and took her in.

She worked very hard at her uncle's house, but they were afraid that there was no room for her and that if she were asked to go back to her stepmother's house, she would be finished.

She was willing to work and was not afraid of hardship. At her uncle's house, no one called her a bitch. She not only did farm work, but also helped her cousin's wife take care of the children, thinking that if she couldn't get married and her uncle was gone, her cousin's wife would still tolerate her.

Mo Guihua knew that her cousin, who had become Madam Xiaojie, was unattainable in her heart. Her stepmother said she was a maggot in the toilet and that her cousin was the phoenix of the Mo family.

She also secretly met her cousin's husband, who was a majestic official, when he came to her uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings with her cousin.

Now she is asked to help her cousin become a second wife and serve the officials. She thinks that it is because she kowtows to the Buddha every night that she is willing to be a servant, not to mention a second wife. At least she will not have to live under someone else's roof for the rest of her life and will not have to worry about where to be buried after her death.

As long as her cousin likes her, she will kowtow to the Buddha every day and bless her cousin to live a long life.

After the person was chosen, Mo Chenxi would go back to the He family to tell them. Old Mrs. He was the first to agree. She was exhausted during this period. She came to Beijing for her grandson, but after coming here, she had been busy with other things and had not been able to take care of her grandson. Having a second wife would allow her to get out of this situation earlier.

Old Mrs. Jiang looked at her daughter-in-law with gloomy eyes. She had wanted to take a second wife for her son before, but that was because her daughter-in-law was at home. She could cause trouble for her daughter-in-law and also make a profit from the second wife.

Now that the daughter-in-law has taken the initiative to marry a second wife for her son, it is obvious that she does not want to come back to serve her son, and she does not want to come back to serve her in the future.

What's more, the candidate is her cousin, so she will definitely listen to her.

Mo Chenxi said, "I also remembered that my mother wanted to take a second wife for the master, and she also asked if there were any cousins ​​in my family."

Mrs. Jiang blurted out, "Why didn't you agree then? Why are you pretending to be virtuous now?"

Mo Chenxi didn't respond to her and explained to Old Madam He, "A while ago, when I went to the palace, the Empress Dowager asked me to take good care of myself and find someone to help me. I didn't have time to take care of it because of my health. Now that I'm feeling better, I'll take care of this matter first."

When Mrs. Jiang heard that it was the Empress Dowager who said it, although she did not believe it, she did not dare to say it was false.

The Queen Mother is so high and mighty, would she still care about the Mo family?

Now she couldn't go out and no one came to visit her, so she didn't know what was going on outside. If she knew that there were rumors that she was a wicked mother-in-law and had driven Madam Xiaojie out, she would be so angry that she would jump high.

She added, "Wen Yan has three concubines, which one can't serve him?"

Old Madam He said, "She can serve him, but you can't let a concubine come forward when someone comes to the house, right? You said you would arrange three concubines for Wen Yan. If there was only one, it would be fine. You could just make her the second wife. Three concubines, let them take turns, or choose one of them? Will the other two be convinced? They are both concubines, why should she be the second wife? You think the house is not chaotic enough? Give Wen Yan some peace of mind."

She said this part, not like the scolding she had done before, but in a gentler way.

She also knew that her cousin's wife either didn't understand or was deliberately finding fault.

He Wenyan looked at Mo Chenxi quietly, without saying either agreement or objection.

Mo Chenxi didn't know what he was thinking.

She said gently, "The weather will get hot soon. After the wedding, Master can go to the farm to escape the heat. It's cool there."

Only then did He Wenyan say the word "good".

Mrs. Jiang blurted out again: "You all left and left me at home?"

He Wenliang became more and more disappointed with his mother. He used to think that his eldest brother was not as filial to his mother as he had imagined. Now he felt that his mother was not as selfless to her children as he had imagined.

Just like now, the eldest sister-in-law asked the eldest brother to live in the farm to escape the summer heat. After all, the eldest sister-in-law and the eldest brother have been married for nearly twenty years. Without their mother, maybe the couple can ease their relationship.

But the mother didn't think about my eldest brother, she thought about herself first.

Old Mrs. He said to her cousin, "I'm here, and Jingyi is at home. The air in the farm is good, and we're growing flowers there. It would be good for Wenyan to go there and relax."

Mrs. Jiang muttered, "I want to relax too. How about I go along with you? No one will know."

At this time, He Wenyan's eyes showed disgust, and He Wenliang quickly said: "Mom, don't cause trouble for the family at this critical moment. Our farm is near Wang Dong's farm."

Only then did Mrs. Jiang fall silent.

Mo Chenxi felt that Old Madam Jiang changed her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. She was very friendly when she came back last time, but this time she rolled her eyes twice. Fortunately, she didn't dare to say anything more after she mentioned it to the Queen Mother.

This is also the reason why she cannot get any benefits from finding a second wife. If she were to decide, she would have to choose from the merchants. However, she also knows that He Wenyan is not the same as before, and the merchants will not invest.

The second wife's marriage is scheduled for the second day of June. It has to be announced to the outside world as a good omen. However, the second wife is also a concubine, so it is impossible to host a banquet.

The second wife, recognized by the public outside the regulations, was superior to a concubine and could receive a dowry. In the future, the children born to the second wife were also between legitimate sons and illegitimate sons, and were still illegitimate in name.

Just like a businessman who has two wives, a concubine is not recognized by the law and is called a concubine.
