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

Mo Chenxi guessed that Mrs. Qiu San was here to pass on the message before her marriage, and she didn't know whether it was for her own daughter or she was commissioned by some family.

Mrs. Qiu San said, "To be honest, I've set my sights on the man named Shanqiao. I only have one daughter, she's almost fourteen this year. Can you please tell your aunt on my behalf? If she's willing, we can get engaged first and then get married in two years."

Mo Chenxi agreed, thinking it might work. The He family marrying a girl from the Qiu family was marrying up. Third Master Qiu was a worthless person, but the Qiu family had a princess who was a princess of a county. Furthermore, the Qiu family was a wealthy family, but it had fallen on hard times, and Third Master Qiu's generation was even worse.

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. If it weren't for Mr. Qiu San's incompetence, Mrs. Qiu San would never have fallen in love with the He family, let alone the He family from another place.

Mo Chenxi was thinking of going back to Beijing to ask his aunt, but before he left, his aunt and He Shanqiao arrived.

When she heard that Donglin Academy was on holiday, she asked, "Has Shankun returned?"

He Shanqiao said, "My cousin was taken to the princess's residence by Luo Zizhen, and he asked me to tell my aunt."

Old Madam He asked her grandson to visit the Mo family and said mysteriously, "I heard that Luo Zi really has a half-sister, born out of wedlock. Maybe he has set his sights on Shan Kun and wants him to be his brother-in-law."

Mo Chenxi was startled and asked, "Did Shanqiao say that?"

Old Mrs. He shook her head and said, "Shanqiao didn't say it, I guessed it myself."

Mo Chenxi always thought that her youngest son was still quite young, just in elementary school in modern times, and she had never thought about his marriage. Even if she did, firstly, she didn't want her son to marry a girl from a wealthy family. It was important to be well-matched.

A girl who grew up in a wealthy family was used to a life of luxury, with countless servants at home. When she married into the He family, a poor family, she had to live frugally, and the gap was too big.

The husband's family also felt awkward facing this godlike daughter-in-law.

Another thing is that she didn't want to marry a concubine's daughter as her daughter-in-law. A concubine's daughter has a different mentality from a legitimate daughter, receives different education, and the most important thing is genes.

After hearing what Old Lady He said, Mo Chenxi said, "No way, Shankun is still young, and the difference in family background is too big."

Old Madam He said, "That's possible. Shan Kun is a good student, and the Zhou family isn't considered a good family. I'm telling you this in advance so you can have a solution if you don't want to."

Mo Chenxi told He Shanqiao that Mrs. Qiu San was interested in her, and also wanted to find an excuse in advance if she was not willing.

Old Mrs. He was also surprised when she heard this. She had never told her niece-in-law about the Xue family because she felt that the marriage might not be successful. If she told her in advance, it would be embarrassing if it didn't work out. But she had to tell her now.

Mo Chenxi was surprised again after hearing this. She didn't expect Shanqiao to be so popular that even the General's Mansion was interested in it.

No wonder my aunt thought that Luo Zizhen brought Shankun back to the princess's mansion for his half-sister, because Shanqiao was taken back to the family of his classmate, the youngest son of the Xue family, and was favored by him.

Old Madam He said, "I was hoping Shanqiao could find a good match in the capital. The Xue family is too far behind our He family in status. At first, I thought it was impossible, so I didn't tell you. But after I met Old Madam Xue, she hinted in agreement about the marriage. His grandson also quietly told him that his uncle and aunt agreed. We're just waiting for a letter from the general. I'll tell you if it works out."

Mo Chenxi didn't feel angry because her aunt kept it a secret from her. If it were her, she would have kept it a secret too.

Her modern mother once told her not to talk about things that have not been accomplished, because if you talk about them, they will become useless.

She asked, "Then how do I reply to Mrs. Qiu San?"

Old Madam He said, "If the Xue family hadn't told me in advance, I would definitely agree. But the Xue family hasn't completely refused, and I can't just pick and choose like I would pick cabbage. Just tell Madam Qiu San that Shanqiao is discussing marriage, and I'm sorry to have let them down."

Although Mo Chenxi felt it was a pity, there was nothing he could do about it.

Mrs. Qiu San is the legitimate daughter. Judging from the way she behaves and does things, she will be a well-educated daughter.

Mo Chenxi returned to Beijing with his aunt to give a reply to Mrs. Qiu San.

As soon as I entered the house, the servant said that the second young master had returned with his classmates.

She was puzzled. Didn’t they say they were going to the princess’s mansion?

After a while, Shan Kun brought Luo Zizhen over. After Luo Zizhen finished his greetings, he said, "Madam, I originally asked Shan Kun to go to my mother's house today. My mother will treat us again, so we went out for a walk before coming back."

Mo Chenxi smiled and said, "It's hard to get a day off. You guys can have some fun and don't worry about coming back."

Luo Zizhen said: "I wanted to play for a while longer, but Shankun insisted on coming back, so I had to accompany him back."

He Shankun explained to his mother, "I have an unfinished article and want to show it to my cousin. Luo has been so kind and I can't refuse."

Luo Zizhen said, "You write articles at dawn, memorize them with your eyes closed while sleeping, and write articles again after a day off. You're so tired of studying that I'm doing this for your own good."

He Shankun tried not to say anything and frowned.

Luo Zizhen then said to Mo Chenxi, "Madam, there's a new martial arts teacher named Mr. Zhou at the academy. I wanted to invite Mr. Zhou to dinner, but Shan Kun wasn't happy about it, saying he wanted to avoid suspicion. It's not like I'm inviting Mr. Nie to dinner, so why should I avoid suspicion?"

When Mo Chenxi heard Mr. Zhou, he knew that he was from his sister-in-law's family and he had to avoid suspicion.

She said gently, "My Shankun is a little dull, don't mind."

Luo Zizhen laughed and said, "He's not stupid at all. He can tell jokes. He made me laugh so hard that I got scolded by the night watchman."

He Shankun blushed, "That's because you stayed up late at night and insisted on making trouble."

Mo Chenxi listened to the two kids bickering with a smile. The best time was when they were studying at school. Apart from studying, there were no worldly distractions.

"Have you eaten yet?" she asked. "If not, I'll cook a few dishes. You guys go look for Shanqiao, he's back just in time."

Luo Zizhen said happily, "I love the food that Madam Xiaojie cooks. My mother said it's a good thing that Madam Xiaojie doesn't live in Beijing, otherwise I would definitely not come home during the holidays to eat here."

Mo Chenxi said, "As long as you like it, just wait and I'll call you when it's ready."

She loves cooking. As long as her body can hold on, she will make a meal and see others eat well, which makes her feel satisfied and happy.

When the cook in the house saw the lady come in, she knew that she was going to cook for the young master, so she hurriedly asked what ingredients were needed and went out to buy them.

I have Cao Yue'e at home, so I usually don’t cook spicy dishes, I prefer light dishes.

Mo Chenxi started cooking porridge, then suddenly remembered that she had forgotten the preserved egg. Preserved egg and lean meat porridge was her favorite.

I’ll do some more in Zhuangzi later.

Old Mrs. He came to help. The more she saw her niece-in-law cooking, the more angry she became with her sister-in-law. She was not satisfied with such a good daughter-in-law. She didn't know what she was thinking.

Thinking about it, I haven't been back to see her for a long time. After all, she is the daughter-in-law of the He family, so I will go back to see her after dinner.

She didn't tell her niece-in-law and quietly returned to the He family. As soon as she entered, she heard crying and frowned.

What is going on?

Fortunately, Cao doesn't live here, otherwise she wouldn't be in the mood to raise a child.
