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

Mo Chenxi pretended to be serious, and Madam Xue looked at her nervously, holding her breath.

"Madam, there's only a faint aura left from the Hundred Years Lock, circling back and forth like a little tiger with its head facing northeast. The aura is red, which is a sign of good luck."

Mrs. Xue didn't understand what he meant and asked, "Xiao Si is not born in the Year of the Tiger. The Hundred Years Lock says Dog. He is born in the Year of the Dog."

"A tiger father will have a dog son. The lady's son has been reincarnated. He owes someone a debt and wants to repay the debt."

Mrs. Xue's tears flowed down her cheeks. "My little fourth son, where was he reincarnated?"

Mo Chenxi shook his head, "Northeast, I don't know about the rest."

Mrs. Xue wiped her tears and said, "Thank you, Miss Madam. I won't ask anymore. I'm relieved to know that Xiao Si has a good place to go."

She took out a silver note and asked the nanny she brought with her from outside to bring in two wooden boxes.

"These are two pieces of jade that my eldest son brought back. This one thousand taels is my hard-earned money for Madam Xiaojie. Please don't despise it."

Mo Chenxi said, "I have to help Madam Tai with her affairs, but I hope she won't tell anyone. Tomorrow I'll go to Shuangfeng Temple to burn incense. I hope the Bodhisattva won't blame me for being too talkative."

Mrs. Xue said gratefully, "I won't talk nonsense. I will go burn incense in a few days. Thank you for the Buddha's blessing."

After seeing Madam Xue off, Mo Chenxi looked at the banknotes and the two pieces of jade on the table, and thought to himself, I've worked so hard to make money, but after a year of hard work, I can't earn more by just talking nonsense.

If she had psychic powers, she could really attract money from all directions.

Madam Xue hurried back to the city. When she got home, she asked her servants to call her daughter-in-law and said mysteriously that she had gone to see Madam Xiaojie.

Mrs. Liao pretended to be surprised and complained, "Mother, why didn't you say anything? Didn't I tell you not to embarrass others?"

Madam Xue said, "It's not difficult. Madam Xiaojie is really nice and speaks kindly. When I mentioned Xiao Si, she even sympathized with me and said it was all a mother's understanding."

Madam Liao pretended to be helpless and asked, "What did Madam Xiaojie say?"

Madam Xue exclaimed, "You don't know..."

Balala repeated it again, then asked, "What did she mean when she said a tiger father will have no dog son? She also said that reincarnation is in the northeast, and that owing someone is repaying a favor."

Mrs. Liao looked surprised, then covered her mouth.

Madam Xue was anxious. "You guessed it? Come on, tell me! I'm so anxious!"

Mrs. Liao said, "I'm afraid Mother will be angry if I tell her."

Madam Xue slammed the table and said, "How do you know if I'm angry if you don't tell me? Tell me now!"

Mrs. Liao clenched her hands in a feigned nervousness. "The tiger is the king of the mountain."

Madam Xue nodded, "I know that."

"The person that Fourth Brother owes the most is Fourth Brother's wife."

Her voice became softer and softer as she spoke.

Madam Xue blurted out, "How did Xiao Si owe her anything? Was it always Wang Huilan who bullied him?"

Mrs. Liao said, "Mother asked me to tell you. If I tell you, you'll be angry. So I won't say it. Mother, let me think about it. I have things to do."

She stood up to leave, and Madam Xue sighed, "That's not what I meant. Please don't leave. Help me analyze this carefully."

Mrs. Liao sat down again and continued, "It was mother who said that my fourth brother was going to be reincarnated, that the northeast was auspicious, and that he was going to repay his gratitude. I heard a story, and it was mother who told me that the Lian family, the Minister of Revenue, hadn't produced a fifth-rank official in generations. Lian Shangshu requested a third-rank imperial edict for his mother. Was it mother who said that? She said Lian Shangshu was coming to repay his gratitude. Mother also said that he might have owed my fourth brother something in a past life, and that he was coming to collect the debt."

Mrs. Xue pondered as she listened to her daughter-in-law's words, "So you mean that Xiao Si will be reincarnated into Wang Huilan's belly?"

"That's not what I meant. Isn't that what mother said?"

"Did Madam Xiaojie say this?"

Madam Liao said seriously, "Mother, you can't say this carelessly. Mother asked me to analyze this with you. Madam Xiaojie didn't say that Fourth Brother would be reincarnated into my sister-in-law's belly. Don't go to Madam Xiaojie and say anything later.

"Or I can go to the northeast and look for someone with the surname Wang, or someone born in the year of the Tiger. Whichever family I think looks like that will be the one."

Madam Xue said, "Other families have nothing to do with Xiao Si. There's no such thing as repaying a favor or seeking revenge."

Mrs. Liao said, "Then I don't know. Should I write a letter to ask the general?"

Madam Xue said quickly, "Don't do that. If the eldest brother knew about this, he would say I was just imagining things and would dislike your brother later."

"If you don't like my brother, then don't like him. The worst that can happen is that you can send him back to Beijing."

Madam Xue was anxious again. "That won't do. Madam Xiaojie said the northeast is auspicious. If your brother comes back, and your sister-in-law comes with him, what if..."

She quickly said, "Nothing will happen, it will be fine, don't tell the boss."

She took out a banknote and handed it to her daughter-in-law. "Send someone to buy some cotton wool to make some children's cotton-padded jackets, tiger-head hats and shoes, and also collect the dried vegetables we have at home. It's winter halfway over in Liaodong, so there's not much fresh food to eat. Do you want to send two wet nurses over? Your sister-in-law has no experience, and I don't know if your mother has prepared these. As the eldest sister, you have to be more careful."

Mrs. Liao laughed in her heart. Her mother-in-law believed it. Mrs. Mo’s idea was good. Her mother-in-law would have something to worry about in the future.

Mo Chenxi really went to Shuangfeng Temple the next day because it was close.

After receiving so much money from Madam Xue, I have to give it some away. Let me burn some incense to the Buddha first.

Not long after she entered, she was stopped by a temple servant who said someone wanted to see her.

She guessed it was the Queen Mother. He was thinking too much, and it turned out to be her when he entered the Buddhist temple.

The Queen Mother was also surprised to see her. She really looked like a peasant woman, but she was in good spirits and her eyes were bright.

"If you can grow anything that *** brings back, just plant it. She said it will just feed the dogs, so don't work too hard."

Mo Chenxi now felt that he had to reveal something. He had originally planned to wait until he received the goods before telling the Queen Mother, but since he had met her, he decided to tell her in advance.

Because today's meeting with the Queen Mother was sudden, she was thinking about what to say.

The Queen Mother was somewhat displeased to see that she was about to speak.

I didn’t know she was the Queen Mother before, so I spoke to her in a relaxed manner. But now I feel awkward every time I see her.

Mo Chenxi said, “Your Majesty, I originally wanted to go to the palace before receiving the goods. Since we met by chance today, I will tell you first.”

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"My father and I dug up a few sweet potatoes from the field and were surprised to see so many fruits. We tried planting one acre of land and my father estimated the yield would be three or four times that of wheat."

She started by saying it in a small way, in case the product doesn't reach the modern production volume, it would be bad to say too much.

The Queen Mother's expression became serious. What does three or four times mean?

"Sweet potatoes can be used as a staple food. Your Highness brought them from the south for several months, but half of them are wasted. My father said that we should wait until next year to find a different piece of land to plant them in and see how much the wasteland can produce per mu. Our one mu of land is divided into several parts. One part is watered very little, only once every two weeks. We dug a plant from that part, and the fruit was not as good as the one that was watered more, but it still produced a bunch."

The Queen Mother stood up and said, "I will go with you to see it."
