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

Mo Xinzhi came for unknown reasons, and after listening to what his elder sister said, he took the live-in son-in-law to farm.

The man's name was Shang Yuanqing, a cousin of Nie Cheng'an's brother-in-law, Shang Yuanwu. Perhaps due to the continuous mourning period, he looked rather thin, with a large head and eyes.

Zhou took Nie Lingxuan to change into country clothes and work in the fields every day. They worked for half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the afternoon. They were worried that Nie Lingxuan would not be able to bear the long hours.

Mo Xinzhi and Shang Yuanqing worked from dawn to dusk, and ate their meals in the fields.

When Nie Lingxuan was not working, Li accompanied her. It was Mo Chenxi who instructed his younger sister-in-law to slowly explain to Nie Lingxuan what marriage between men and women was like, to see if she had a good impression of Shang Yuanqing and whether she could accept him.

Mo Chenxi said to Mrs. Wang, "The closer someone is, the harder it is to speak. Lingxuan is also embarrassed to express her true thoughts. My younger sister-in-law is more observant than my older sister-in-law, and she's good at speaking. I'm sure everything will be fine if I leave it to her."

Mrs. Wang trusts the Mo family, so this is the only thing she can do for now.

Old Mrs. He did not come, and she mainly accompanied Mrs. Xue this month.

Just as everyone expected, Mrs. Xue went to the Liao family every day. Wang Huilan thought she couldn't stay at home for two months, so she endured it.

She told her mother-in-law that Mrs. Xue had dementia and thought her son was the reincarnation of her ex-husband.

Mrs. Liao thought that since he was her grandson, and the Liao family relied on the Xue family, she thought that this would only benefit the Liao family, so she warmly entertained her in-laws.

Old Mrs. He came with He Huizhen in her arms. The two children were about the same age and could play together.

At first, Mrs. Liao thought that Mrs. Xiaojie wanted to marry her granddaughter to his grandson, so she secretly asked her daughter-in-law.

Wang Huilan said, "Absolutely impossible. They're of different generations. Besides, Madam Xiaojie said that if her children and grandchildren get engaged, they'll have to be at least thirteen or fourteen years old. They won't arrange marriages when they're young. If they grow up and dislike each other, wouldn't that embarrass the elders?"

Although Madam Liao was relieved, she said with regret: "In fact, Madam Xiaojie's granddaughter is not bad either. I wonder if our Shitou has the patience for Huizhen."

Wang Huilan thought, what can you see when you are young? Anyway, Shitou's father said that he would not arrange a marriage for children.

She had told her mother-in-law in advance because she found out that she wanted to give the stone to her parents.

Wang Huilan was not close to her natal family because they married her to Beijing against her will.

Later, she was not allowed to divorce.

So after her ex-husband died, she went to Guanzhong to live with her senior sister and did not return to her parents' home.

But this time, if she follows her husband back to Guanzhong, she will have to contact her parents' home, and she guess her parents will hold on to her tightly.

Headache.

Blood relations cannot be severed just like that. Fortunately, my husband said he would leave it all to him. He is a rough man and will not beat around the bush. If you are good, he will treat you well, and if you are not, he will kick you out.

As for the Nie family, the Nie brothers went to the Ji family.

Ji Chen's son Ji Chenfu took out half a seal with the ancient character "Chen" engraved on it. Nie Chengping took out half a seal with ancient Chinese characters engraved on it, which together formed the character "Ji".

Ji Chen said, "Our ancestors left a will that the direct descendants of the Ji family return to the capital and hand over the collection of books that have been guarded for generations. As for the collection of books, there are ten boxes of books, and those who dry the books are all illiterate deaf-mute people."

The Nie brothers understood that this meant that none of the Ji family members had ever seen the content.

Ji Chenfu stood up, knelt on the ground in front of Nie Chengping, supported himself on the ground with his left hand, and then slowly kowtowed to the ground.

This is the most important etiquette among the nine bows.

Nie Chengping felt complicated.

The last time my brother came to Beijing, I showed him my grandmother's last words.

The will explained that the Nie family was a direct branch of the Ji family in the capital, and that they changed their names and came to Guanzhong during the war in order to protect their ancestral collection of books.

A portion of it was entrusted to merchants for safekeeping, and was later returned as a dowry when the merchant married off his daughter.

In her will, Grandmother explained that she was a replacement bride for the Li family in the capital, that the bride had died at her hands, and that the Nie family, ever wary of her, had not given her the token. After her son and his wife died, she grew disheartened and stopped contacting her family, hoping her grandson would be reunited with the Ji family and no longer be the target of plots over her collection of books.

Nie Cheng'an didn't know why his grandmother's last words were passed down to him and not to his eldest brother. He remained silent and didn't tell anyone. At that time, he had already married a Shang family woman, while his eldest brother married a woman from the Xiao family. Whether in terms of primogeniture or strength, the eldest brother should have priority.

He thought it was because his elder brother was ignorant of worldly affairs and that he was the one who took care of the Nie family.

After he came to the capital, he learned about his eldest brother and the Zhong family, and realized that his eldest brother was not his father's biological son, but a descendant of the Zhong family.

Nie Cheng'an didn't understand what his grandmother was thinking. She didn't say it in her will. Why?

The will explained to him that the keepsake and seal were with his eldest brother. What did his grandmother want to do?

He felt complicated and didn't know how to tell his elder brother. Also, was it necessary to restore the Ji surname?

What should I do then, brother?

Nie Cheng'an thought again, if our ancestors wanted to return to Beijing to recognize their relatives, they would have returned long ago. Why did the Nie family remain in Guanzhong for so many years?

Neither his grandfather nor his grandmother said anything, so he didn't know.

He thought he would just ignore it and live under the Nie family name without anyone knowing. The Nie family's collection of books consisted mostly of ancient books, and he planned to bring them back to his eldest brother. Given his eldest brother's personality, he would have more scholars copy them.

Unexpectedly, the Ji family came looking for them brothers. Seeing that his eldest brother was surprised, Nie Cheng'an knew that he knew nothing.

The eldest brother said that he had no say in the matter and told him that the Zhong and Li families had contacted him. He also said that he had changed his surname to Xiao and was willing to be the son-in-law of the Xiao family.

He understood that his elder brother knew his background and did not want to occupy the position of the eldest son of the Nie family.

At this time, he understood why his grandmother did not give her will to his eldest brother, because his eldest brother would not occupy the position of the eldest son of the Nie family.

The eldest brother said that if there was no Ji family incident, he would not tell it because of his father and he wanted to support this family.

But because of his Ji family bloodline, he withdrew.

Nie Cheng'an knelt down and threatened his life. No matter whether his surname was Nie or Ji, he was his father's second son and his eldest brother was the eldest son.

They said that the eldest brother shouldn't just care about his own solar terms and not care about his brothers and sisters. Father didn't say anything, grandmother didn't say anything, so could he deny being a Nie family member just based on a few words from outsiders?

He said that his father and mother died in an accident, and as the eldest brother, he couldn't abandon his older and younger sisters. Would that be unfair to his father?

The eldest brother did not sleep all night. Later, the two brothers discussed that Nie Cheng'an would return to Guanzhong and bring back the collection of books. He did not tell his eldest sister and brother-in-law, but only said that he would go back to make arrangements for the Nie family business.

After returning, the two brothers went to the Ji family, took out the seal, and combined the two into one. From then on, the Nie family changed its surname back to Ji, and Nie Chengping became the head of the Ji family.

The Nie brothers and their eldest sister brought their younger sister back to Beijing and said that Dazhi said Shang Yuanqing was a real person, and everyone was relieved and agreed to the marriage.

Brother Nie Chengping met with his eldest sister and brother-in-law alone and told them about the Ji family.

Mrs. Wang had an expression of disbelief on her face, and Wang Jingye felt relieved.

But I feel a little uncomfortable.

His elder and younger brothers-in-law kept it from him.

But it makes sense. He knew it a long time ago, but he kept it a secret from his brothers-in-law, didn't he?
