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

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was listening with great interest, Mo Chenxi said more.

"Sister Wang said that Lichuan was always busy and had few opportunities to see her son, so her son was afraid of his father and behaved well when his father was at home. He would protect his younger brothers and sisters, but he didn't dare let them play with him, fearing that he wouldn't be aware of the dangers. But he's getting better now that he's grown up. Sister Wang asked him if he wanted to come to Beijing, and he said no because his wife was too beautiful. There were too many people in Beijing who couldn't afford to offend, and he was afraid people would keep an eye on his wife."

The Empress Dowager burst into laughter when she heard this.

It was the first time that Mo Chenxi saw the Empress Dowager laugh so happily. When she saw the three words "too beautiful" in the letter, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Mrs. Wang said it was fortunate that he didn't want to come, otherwise she would have been worried and followed him. Now that she is old and has no strength, if her grandson comes to Beijing, he will poke a hole in the sky, and she won't be able to fix it in time. Mrs. Wang said she didn't expect that Lichuan's daughter-in-law Feng was well-read and looked like a daughter of a Hanlin family. No wonder Lichuan wanted to marry her. Feng taught all the children to study personally, and all the children in Lichuan look like Lichuan. Lichuan said that it was fortunate that he didn't look like the Feng family, otherwise he would be a mess of coal.

"Lichuan's wife has a really good temper. She never gets angry no matter what Lichuan says. When her second son was born, she shed tears and thanked Lichuan. They had agreed that the second son's surname would be Feng. Mrs. Wang said she knew too well how families without sons would be bullied. She wanted Taoist Feng to marry into the Wang family, otherwise he would be eaten up and his family would be wiped out."

Mo Chenxi smiled and continued, "Most of Mrs. Wang's letter was about Lichuan's eldest son. He's obviously a very naughty boy. As the saying goes, the crying child gets the milk. Naughty children get more attention and care from their families, so they have a lot on their mind."

The Grand Empress Dowager said, "That's right. Compared to his father when he was a child, the new emperor wasn't as obedient as his father. I worried about the new emperor the most, and he was the one I cared about the most. Now that he's grown up, he's become quite stable. I think the new emperor is more like my Wang family. My eldest brother and cousin were both mischievous when they were young, but they've grown up to be steady and never cause trouble."

Mo Chenxi smiled. The Wang family was not a stable family back then. His father had secretly grumbled that maybe some rich kid had come to the capital to pretend to be rich.

She and the Empress Dowager chatted about the chicken soup being ready, wontons cooked in the chicken soup, and a few side dishes. The two of them ate and sat for a while.

The Grand Empress Dowager asked, "Are you interested in going to East Street together? And seeing the best restaurant in the capital?"

She even blinked, and although there were wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, her eyes looked like a girl's at that moment.

Mo Chenxi said, "Okay, I haven't been to Beijing for a long time. Let's go shopping together."

The Grand Empress Dowager was wearing ordinary clothes this time, and Mo Chenxi changed her clothes. The two of them looked like the old ladies of a wealthy family.

When he arrived in the capital, he got off the carriage and strolled around without anyone following him.

Mo Chenxi worked in the farm for many years and his health gradually improved. The Empress Dowager was from a military family and had a good physical condition. She walked across the street and came to the opposite side of Jiujiangli's gate.

The restaurant built by Wang Dongjia has not been repaired for many years, and its quality is still good.

The streets are bustling with people coming and going.

The Grand Empress Dowager nudged Mo Chenxi next to her with her elbow and said, "Look, she just came out of the jewelry store. She's so beautiful, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes."

Mo Chenxi looked over and said, "Yes, he is good-looking. The one next to him is also good-looking. He has two dimples when he smiles. I like men with dimples."

"Look, there's a guy coming out of your restaurant with a red face. He must have been drunk. How pitiful."

"There's another one over there, he's got a big burly body, like a martial artist, with muscles all over his body. Wow, he looks very strong."

The two of them talked as they walked, and then smiled at each other.

On this day, she went to different places and saw a beautiful young girl. The Queen Mother said, "I was more beautiful than she was when I was young."

Mo Chenxi envied: "I dream of looking this good-looking."

The Empress Dowager laughed again, attracting the attention of passers-by.

When I arrived at the door of the bookstore, I saw a man walking out slowly with a folding fan in his hand and one hand behind his back.

Mo Chenxi whispered, "I despise this kind of person the most. He's arrogant and complacent, thinking he's so charming and charming, just to attract ignorant girls."

The Empress Dowager blinked again and said, "Let's follow and see if she's going on a date."

The two followed the man for a long time. Suddenly, the man turned around and walked over, bowing and saying, "Old man, did you recognize the wrong person? Why do you keep following me?"

The Empress Dowager didn't answer, so Mo Chenxi asked, "Is your surname Zhao and do you live in Guihua Hutong?"

She made it up.

The man replied, "No, my last name is Qiu and I live in the west of the city."

Mo Chenxi pretended to apologize and said, "I recognized the wrong person. I'm so sorry."

The two men turned and walked away. The man looked for a while, touched his head, and left.

Mo Chenxi said, "I remember now. He looks a bit like Mr. Qiu San. Maybe he's the concubine's son who was brought back later."

She talked about the Qiu family. It was the daughter of Mr. Chang, the owner of the former Yingkelai Restaurant, whose mistress gave birth to her daughter, who became a concubine of Mr. Qiu San. After he kicked her out, she came back with her son, who was raised by Mrs. Qiu San.

The Grand Empress Dowager sighed, "It's true that one resembles his own children. Mr. Qiu San is a frivolous person. I heard that his wife is quite nice, but in the end, the child he raised is just as conceited and playboyish as his father, and he was born by a woman of that kind. Fortunately, Mrs. Qiu San gave birth to more sons who look like her, otherwise she would have been worried enough."

Mo Chenxi didn't respond, wondering where the genes were.

She had worried that her two sons would resemble He Wenyan, especially the eldest. If she hadn't traveled through time and her original self was still alive, He Shanluo would have been the undisputed second He Wenyan.

Later, Shanluo became Ji Chengping's disciple. Mr. Ji always spoke directly and would point out any problems directly without beating around the bush.

Another thing is that Cao Yue'e is not the original person, Lord Cao is not the father of the Mo family, and with her deliberate guidance, and so many things happening to the He family later, He Shanluo slowly changed and was no longer like his father.

The most important thing is that he is timid and hesitant in doing things. If someone points him in a direction, he will listen but will not stick to his own ideas.

If you are the type of person who will not turn back even if you hit a wall, there is no point in guiding you.

Continuing to look at the people walking on the street, Mo Chenxi saw another good-looking man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a sunny face and exuding youthful vitality.

"Look, look, look..."

“Where, where…”

The two old women stretched their necks to look in one direction.

The sun is shining, and passers-by are walking and greeting each other when they see someone they know.

"have you eaten?"

"Why go?"

"Buy some delicious food for the children to eat."

"Have a good trip. I'll visit you another day."

The years are peaceful and the people are healthy.

The previous emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. In this year of transition from the old to the new, the court was stable, there was no war on the border, and the people lived and worked in peace.

No one knew that the Empress Dowager and the Lady of the First Rank were looking at handsome men on the street, and when they parted, they made an appointment to continue looking at handsome men when they met next time at the lantern festival.
