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

When Mo Chenxi heard Mrs. Wang asking her for help, she said awkwardly, "I really don't understand that. Marriage is about parents' orders and matchmakers' words. It's a principle that has been passed down since ancient times. What does Brother Wang have to say?"

Mrs. Wang said, "Your eldest brother Wang's face is black with rage. Give him a good beating. I was afraid Chuan'er would run away, so I didn't lose my temper and try to comfort him."

Mrs. Mo said, "Is he okay? I just saw that he didn't look like he was beaten. If Dazhi's father had beaten him, he would have been lying in bed for several days."

Mrs. Wang said embarrassedly, "It wasn't a few hits. I stopped him. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have had to lie down for a few days."

He then explained, "We've come all this way, and if we're beaten and run away, how can we continue to live as a family?"

Mrs. Mo said, "You have to patiently explain to him that young people only care about whether something is pretty or not. They don't know that being pretty is not enough to make a living at home."

Mrs. Wang got angry again when she heard what Mrs. Mo said. "If the daughter of the Feng family was pretty, we could say that Li Chuan was possessed by a ghost, but the daughter of the Feng family is not pretty. She is black from head to toe."

Mrs. Mo asked curiously, "What did your Lichuan want?"

"I also asked him, what do you like about her? He said that beautiful can't be eaten. He and the Feng family girl get along well. Feng Jiani understands everything he says. He also said how painful it is for a couple to have nothing to say to each other for their whole lives.

"I asked him, 'Are you looking for a wife? Or a friend?' He said a wife should be a lifelong friend, so why wouldn't it be good if we can get along? Listen, for every word I say, he has ten waiting for his turn. It wasn't like this before. Did he listen to that..."

I want to say she is a foxy girl, but the girl from the Feng family is not one of them.

Mrs. Wang paused for a moment before she finally said, "Is this because of the curse cast by that Taoist priest in the graveyard?"

Old Madam Mo asked, "Could it be that the daughter of the Feng family also wants to become a Taoist priest? I've heard there are female Taoist priests."

Mrs. Wang said, "No, Lichuan said that after we get married, he'll let the Feng girl serve me while he and his father-in-law go out to learn a trade. I don't think he's attracted to the Feng girl, but to his father-in-law. If he marries a beautiful girl from another family and then abandons her and disappears, who would want her?"

When Mo Chenxi heard this, he thought, is that still your son's problem?

Most of these mothers put the blame on others.

After Mrs. Wang finished venting about her second son's complaints, she started worrying about her eldest son. "He's been married for two years, and he's still not pregnant. I'm not the type to give my daughter-in-law a hard time just because she's not pregnant, but isn't that what worries me? Even if she gets pregnant and it's a girl, there are always other children to come. I'm just worried that he won't be able to have children in his lifetime. Is this going to mean that my Wang family's legitimate branch will have a bunch of illegitimate children?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Mo had experience. She said, "First, go to the temple to worship the Buddha. Then find someone who knows how to read fortunes to see if there's anything wrong. Then find a doctor who specializes in gynecology. You know this woman called Yu Po? Her husband runs a clinic, and she's an expert in treating women's illnesses. More than ten years ago, there was a woman who had been married for three years without getting pregnant. After seeing her and taking some medicine for a while, she got pregnant. To her surprise, her mother always went to her for treatment whenever she felt unwell."

Mo Chenxi was speechless. Wasn't it the first thing to see a doctor? But in her mother's mouth, it became praying to the Buddha first, then seeing a fortune teller, and finally seeing a doctor.

Mrs. Wang was interested in this and said, "I will take her to Shuangfeng Temple tomorrow, and you will take me to see Grandma Yu the day after tomorrow."

Mo Chenxi interrupted and said, "We just arrived in the capital after a long journey, so we should rest for a while. A daughter-in-law who hasn't gotten pregnant for two years is more nervous than anyone else, afraid that her mother-in-law will stare at her belly. The more nervous and afraid a person is, the harder it is to get pregnant."

Old Mrs. Mo echoed her daughter's words and said, "There's a saying that goes like this. In Mojia Village, there was once a daughter-in-law who didn't get pregnant for two years, and her mother-in-law scolded her all the time. After they divorced, the woman thought she couldn't have children, so she remarried and became a stepmother. The next year, she gave birth. The man also gave birth the following year after marrying another wife. It's no wonder that the woman gave birth to three sons and the man gave birth to three daughters in a row. Everyone in the village said it was the mother-in-law who was bad and that she was unlucky."

This ancient woman believed this. Mrs. Wang said, "I won't be that kind of mother-in-law. I never say those things to my daughter-in-law. I even comfort her not to worry. Some people wait three years after marriage to get pregnant."

Mo Chenxi didn't understand any of this and just listened.

Originally, Mrs. Wang should have said these things to her own parents' elders, but she had no parents' elders, and her husband's elders were also deceased. After arriving in the capital, she treated Mrs. Mo as an elder, and her own little daughter was also raised by Mrs. Mo for half a year. So she said everything to Mrs. Mo, and only after she finished speaking did she feel relieved.

The two of them, like mother and daughter, talked about a lot of things at home. Finally, Mrs. Mo asked, "Where is Xiangxiang's father?"

"I went to Wang's house. I've been there early every morning these days."

Wang Jingye went to the Wang family early in the morning and went straight into the palace after coming out.

The matter of his son really gave him a headache. It really proved the saying that sons are born to collect debts.

When the Queen Mother heard her cousin talk about his second son, she thought that she only had this one son, and if she had more sons, she would have a headache.

Who knows what the Royal Seed will be like?

"Xiangxiang's mother was so anxious that she got angry. I had to persuade her."

"What do you mean?" the Queen Mother asked.

"I see Lichuan in that situation. If he marries someone else's daughter, wouldn't that be harming them? If he insists on it, then he's willing. But he can't be a live-in son-in-law. At most, he can have a second son, who will take our Feng family surname. If he runs around after we get married, the Feng family can't blame our Wang family. It was them who insisted on bringing their daughter into the family."

Queen Mother Wang smiled and said nothing. After all, it was the marriage of Wang's cousin's children, so they could make the decision themselves.

"When will Cheng'an return to Beijing?"

"It will probably take another month or so. It won't be that fast. We have things to deal with over there."

"What's going on with the Ji family?"

"Nothing much. I just interacted with Chengping and Cheng'an's wives without making a big fuss. I was also polite to Xiangxiang's mother."

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and said, "I want Hua Ying from my second uncle's family to marry the grandson of Minister Lian."

Wang Jingye thought that he wanted to compensate the Liao family, and originally wanted to let Minister Lian's granddaughter enter the palace to become the queen, but this did not happen.

"It's his second son's eldest legitimate son. Minister Lian's eldest legitimate grandson is too young to be suitable."

Wang Jingye asked, "It's not easy to get his eldest daughter engaged."

Who would dare to marry the former future queen candidate?

"He's already engaged. He's her aunt's cousin."

Wang Jingye understood that he could only consume it himself. Zhong Hanlin had three daughters, and the daughter of the eldest daughter married the son of the second daughter.

Fortunately, Zhong Hanlin is now the emperor's teacher, and his daughter's in-laws dare not neglect him.

At this time, Hanshan University came in, and Wang Jingye bowed and left.

The Queen Mother frowned and didn't want to see her.
