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

The Queen Mother didn't care what Hanshan Daxue did, as long as she didn't interfere in state affairs, she could do whatever she wanted.

Currently, she was only keeping a close eye on the Ji and Nie families. She had spread rumors that he liked women, giving the Ji family an excuse to sell their house to the Nie family. It wasn't just her who spread rumors; the Ji family did the same.

She guessed that the Ji family would have interactions with the Nie family for this reason, and "accidentally" discovered that they were from the same clan, and then recognized each other as relatives.

But after so long, the Ji family invited the Nie family several times, and the Nie family also invited the Ji family in return, but there was no other movement.

I don’t know what the Ji family is planning to do.

When Nie Cheng'an returns to Guanzhong, will he bring all his collection of books back to Beijing?

If they bring him back, it means that the Nie brothers have been hiding something from Wang Jingye.

hold on.

The Wang family should be here in another month.

On the day when Cao Yue'e was one month old, Mo Chenxi invited his relatives, the Zhao and Cao families, her natal family, and the head of the Mo family.

The He family only invited Bao and Fan. Even if they split up, they were still He Shanluo's aunts.

If Cao Yue'e gave birth to a boy, Mo Chenxi would not plan to invite guests. Firstly, everyone knew that Old Mrs. Jiang was ill, and secondly, she also had to busy herself with the preparations for planting sweet potatoes.

Cao Yue'e gave birth to a girl. If she didn't hold a full-month celebration, people would think she disliked her granddaughter. She had already held ninety-nine celebrations before, so this last one wouldn't make a difference.

So we didn’t invite any outsiders, just our own relatives.

Old Mrs. Cao is in good spirits. Madam Xiaojie has given the Cao family enough face. Her granddaughter has been well taken care of in the past two months, and her great-granddaughter is plump and white.

Old Mrs. He did not leave. When she heard her grandson say that there was hope for marriage, she did not propose to leave. It happened that her niece-in-law was about to start her work, so she said that she would leave the housework to her.

Old Mrs. Mo held He Huizhen tightly in her arms until the child woke up and started crying, then she let the wet nurse take her away.

Mrs. Cao smiled and said, "She looks more and more like her father."

Old Madam He flattered her, "It's a blessing for a daughter to look like her father. She will definitely get a royal title in the future."

Old Mrs. Mo is now in high spirits, as her husband is old and a fifth-rank official. It is her daughter's credit that they opened the restaurant at home, and even the sweet potatoes she planted were brought back by her daughter from the eldest lady.

Her daughter looks like her father. She used to think to herself, "People say it's a blessing for a daughter to look like her father, but where's the blessing? It's just suffering."

It turns out that there will be good fortune in the future.

After hearing what Mrs. He said, Mrs. Mo echoed, "That's right. My daughter looks just like her father. I never thought she would have such good fortune. Her father worked hard all his life, and it was thanks to his daughter that he was able to achieve his current position as a fifth-rank official."

Madam Zhao smiled and said, "You're almost there too. Ask for the imperial decree in March. Master Mo will also ask for a fifth-rank consort for you. You'll be an old lady in the future."

Old Mrs. Mo laughed heartily, unable to conceal the joy in her heart.

Mo Chenxi accompanied Madam Cao in talking, and now the two of them were becoming more familiar with each other. Zhou and Li greeted Bao and Fan, and Fan was now being respectful and fawning to Mo Chenxi.

She couldn't understand why her sister-in-law had become so capable in just two years after she gave birth to a baby?

She often took her baby to visit her second sister-in-law and saw that her second sister-in-law seemed like a different person. The house was kept in order. Fan regretted that she had been hiding in the He family and let her second sister-in-law take advantage of her.

Speaking of which, she has a close relationship with her eldest sister-in-law. Their husbands are brothers from the same mother. In the future, she will visit her eldest sister-in-law's house more often.

No one who came mentioned the He family. It was a lively and joyful occasion, and they celebrated He Huizhen's double full moon.

Because there was no external banquet, the Wang family and the Nie family each sent a full-moon gift, and by then Mo Chenxi had already gone to the manor.

Old Mrs. He was very capable. She accompanied Cao Yue'e to the Wang and Nie families to express her gratitude.

After Cao went to the Mo family that day, he went there twice in a row, purely to get close to them. He told his mother that he felt that the Mo family were all honest people and he had to protect them.

After going there a few times, I found that there were stone carvings in the Mo family's living room, which were rather crude. I thought that the Mo family was really poor in the past, so they bought some cheap stone carvings to display.

The next time I went, I received two beautifully carved stone sculptures and said I had replaced those.

Mo Yuanji said embarrassedly: "Those were carved by my eldest son. He figured it out on his own and I thought they were good, so I've kept them there.

Cao, the head official, was interested and looked at them one by one. "It's not bad to have such a skill. I remember that both of your sons are scholars. If they go to our Ministry of Works, start from the bottom and gain experience step by step, they can make merits and get the status of a juren. In the future, they can also get the seventh rank."

Mo Yanji smiled bitterly. He had used all his resources on his son-in-law. His own son was only a scholar, so it was difficult for him to ask for help. Another reason was that his son was clumsy and not cut out for officialdom.

"My eldest son is honest and straightforward, and he only knows how to work hard. I threw him into the restaurant to work hard in order to train him."

Director Cao said, "We need people with this kind of temperament working under the Ministry of Industry. Besides, there are so many people who want to get in with some experience. If you are willing to hand it over to me, it will be easy for me to arrange someone for you."

Mo Yuanji immediately bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Lord Cao. If this matter can be accomplished, I would also like to ask Lord Cao to take care of my eldest son in the future and discipline him when necessary and punish him when necessary."

Of course he wished that, but he also didn't want his son to become a businessman in the future.

In the past, he wanted his son to follow in his father's footsteps and enter Shanglinyuan, even if it was just to grow vegetables like him. However, his son didn't even pass the imperial examination, and he was too embarrassed to ask his superiors for help. If Lord Cao could help with this, he would be a great benefactor to the Mo family.

Master Cao did what he said and found another doctor. When the doctor heard that the son was Lord Mo's son, he agreed immediately. He said that he was not going to be a ninth-rank official as soon as he came in, but just a craftsman who was slightly better than a craftsman.

The Mo family was very happy, especially Mo Xinzhi. He liked stones and learned carving just as a personal hobby. He didn't expect that he could join the Ministry of Industry because of this.

He didn't want to be a restaurant owner for the rest of his life. What was the purpose of studying so hard? Wasn't it to become an official, to serve the country and bring honor to the family?

Old Mrs. Mo told the Wang family about this happy event. Wang Jingye was very depressed, wondering why Dazhi didn't ask him about joining the Ministry of Industry? It was just a matter of a word.

He smiled and said congratulations, "I can tell from your ambition that you have a promising future. There are not many people as down-to-earth and practical as him. As long as he works hard, he will definitely be a seventh-rank official in the future."

Mrs. Wang said, "Why didn't you help me earlier?"

Wang Jingye couldn't say whether the Mo family had asked him about this. "I've been busy, haven't I? I was thinking of asking Uncle Mo later."

Old Mrs. Mo regretted it. She had wanted to ask Mr. Wang for help for a long time, but she didn't dare tell her husband for fear that he would scold her for being too demanding.
