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

Mo Chenxi was surprised and amused when she heard Mrs. Zhao say such bold words.

Is it true that women everywhere become more open to topics about men and women as they get older?

She just smiled and didn't comment.

Fortunately, Madam Zhao didn't ask her what would happen. She continued, "Several families are almost confirmed to enter the palace. I wonder which family the Queen will choose. Who do you think it will be? When Hanlin Zhong is reinstated, will his granddaughter still be his? The Lian family is now closed to visitors, and everyone is talking about whether it will be a girl from the Liao family."

Mo Chenxi turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and had no idea about the rumors. She shook her head.

Madam Zhao didn't expect her to say anything, so she said mysteriously, "Everyone is keeping an eye on the palace now. If someone goes in a few times, something will get out. The Shen family has also brought their granddaughter into the palace."

Mo Chenxi asked, "Who? Which Shen family?"

"It's the family of Concubine Shen Gui's mother, Princess Wuyang's maternal grandfather's family. If Concubine Shen Gui had given birth to a prince, Queen Mother Wang..."

She didn't say anything else. Mo Chenxi understood that Queen Mother Wang's rival at the time was Concubine Shen Gui. Queen Mother Wang's family was not very powerful, but Concubine Shen Gui was the daughter of a Hanlin scholar, and the Shen family had a place in the literary circle.

"Who knows what will happen in the future? It will take another three or four years for the Emperor to get married. Even if he does, no one can guarantee that he will sit firmly on the throne of Empress. We are still low-ranking officials. If I were a third-rank official, my daughter would be eligible to enter the palace. I would not be able to sleep well."

Mo Chenxi was also glad that He Wenyan's rank was not high enough. Even if she knew the Queen Mother, her daughter would not be qualified to enter the palace.

If you don't have the brains, entering the palace is like falling into a trap.

Mrs. Zhao left after talking a lot.

Mo Chenxi's entire focus is now on growing sweet potatoes, but even after more than ten days of planting, no seedlings have emerged.

Mo Yuanji was a little anxious. He dug out a seed and buried it again when he saw a sprout coming out.

Mo Chenxi had never grown sweet potatoes before, so he didn't know how long it would take for the seedlings to sprout and how long it would take to harvest. He could only watch them with his father every day.

Mrs. Mo came over and saw the father and daughter staring at the empty space in a daze with serious expressions. She didn't dare to ask too much, because if she asked too much, her husband would think she was nagging.

She went back and told her two sons to run the restaurant well and not to worry their old father.

More than a month later, seedlings sprouted from the soil of the vacant land, and Mo Chenxi's eyes were filled with tears of excitement.

In fact, she was also very nervous. This crop had been traveling across the ocean for so long, and she was not sure whether she could grow it. It was an ancient crop.

As long as the seedlings emerge, you are halfway to success.

Only the father and his daughter can access that piece of land. It is divided into five pieces, and each piece is watered at a different number of times. One piece is fertilized, but they dare not fertilize all of it. What if it burns?

When the seedlings grow to more than 20 centimeters, we start to expand the land and transplant them, and we can make up one acre of land.

The He family knew that Mo Chenxi lived in the manor, so she would ask Mother Wang to send some food to the He family every few days. After all, her children still lived in the He family.

The most important thing is that she also wants to know what's going on with the He family. If her children don't live there, she doesn't care what happens to the He family.

So we also know that little Mo made old lady Jiang very happy. He Shanluo ran back and forth between the He family and her residence. Old lady He lived with her, and He Shanqiao would return to her residence every time the academy took a break.

He Shanluo was no longer stupid. He would live with his cousin every time so that his cousin could give him advice on his studies.

Old Mrs. He came to see Mo Chenxi, wanting to register He Shanqiao's household registration in the He family. She wanted to take the imperial examination in August this year to avoid having to return to Xiangzhou.

He Wenyan is in such a bad condition that he cannot show up. So Mo Chenxi took Old Lady He to the Zhao family and asked Mr. Zhao for help.

This is not a difficult task for Lord Zhao. The most important thing is that He Shanqiao is well-educated. If he can pass the imperial examination, he will be a young juren, which is also a great honor.

Old Lady He was so anxious to let her grandson have his fate because she thought that if her grandson passed the imperial examination, even if the marriage with the Xue family failed, he could still find another marriage in Beijing. However, the status of a scholar was not enough.

He Jingyi's marriage to the Zhao family was also scheduled for the twelfth month. There were only a few people in the He family now, and after He Jingyi got married, Xiao Mo would be able to take over. Even if He Wenyan returned to live in the capital, there would be more people to eat.

Doctor An will come to check her pulse soon. He is very curious about why the Mo family father and daughter value that piece of land, and will tell Queen Mother Wang after returning to the palace.

The Queen Mother thought that once the crops were grown, she would know what was going on and have more fresh ingredients.

Next was the sixth day of August, when the Nie family celebrated their new home. This time, the Nie family did not keep it quiet, but held a banquet on the eighth day of August. The Nie brothers did not have many contacts in the capital, so Wang Jingye took care of everything.

The Mo family and Mo Chenxi will definitely go. As soon as she shows up, the female relatives who have seen her are surprised. They have heard that the old lady of the He family is not good to her daughter-in-law, but she can't abuse her daughter-in-law like this?

He is dark and thin, and his outstretched hands look like those of the cook at home.

Mrs. Wang held her hand distressedly and said, "Look at you. For the sake of the big boss's explanation, you really don't take your own health seriously."

People who don’t know what the explanation is, and it has something to do with Wenshan ***.

Mo Chenxi said, "Since Your Highness trusts me and my father so much, you must take good care of it. It's growing well now. I'll send some to my sister-in-law to try when the harvest comes."

Mrs. Wang said, "I've been looking forward to it. I was hoping it would be out by now. Today I want everyone to have a taste of this rare thing from overseas."

Those who heard it understood that these were the overseas seeds that Wenshan University brought back last time and gave them to the Mo family because Mo Dianshu was an expert in growing vegetables.

No one cares anymore. It's just food, isn't it? After growing it, I'll go to the Mo family and buy some to try.

The banquet was divided into male and female guests, and the whole Nie family showed up this time, which shocked everyone.

Nie Chengping had two sons and two daughters, and Nie Chengan had two sons and one daughter, in both cases the eldest daughter was the eldest.

Nie Chengping's wife, Xiao, brought out her two daughters. Everyone held their breath. The three of them looked like they had walked out of a painting.

Xiao appeared outside once, so it was strange that everyone who had seen her kept their mouths shut and didn't talk much about her appearance.

Nie Shulan has a mask, and she wears it on the few occasions when she goes out.

This time, the mother and her two daughters all showed their true faces. Nie Shulan's sister looked about seven or eight years old and was also a little beauty.

Everyone thought, no wonder the Nie family had never shown up before. If it weren’t for the Queen Mother, if they appeared with such a look, who knows how many people would be interested in them.

Nie Cheng'an's daughter-in-law Shang was much more ordinary, including her daughter Nie Ruizhi.

Many families brought their daughters and granddaughters to such occasions. The teenage girl looked at Nie Shulan with deep jealousy. The palace had not yet decided on a queen, and it was obvious that the eldest daughter of the Nie family would be the one.

The female relatives thought that the girl from the Nie family would not enter the palace, otherwise she would not show up today.

Everyone was wondering which family in Beijing could afford to have a daughter-in-law with such beauty.
