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

Mo Chenxi had a cousin who once said to her, "If you always hang out with people who are not as good as you, you will only appear a little better than them. You will become complacent and think you are the best among those around you, and then you will never be able to grow. Only by getting along with people who are better than you can you learn and grow."

This is what her cousin said when she first entered society. Now it can be summed up in two words: admiration for the strong.

She was willing to interact with Mrs. Wang. Besides thinking that she was a noble person, she also felt that Mrs. Wang was a strong woman in ancient times.

In her previous life, she had come into contact with female entrepreneurs and female bosses. They had a different aura and eyes, and were not the same type as those rich wives who relied on their husbands.

So she was willing to spend time interacting with Mrs. Wang.

The next morning, she got up very early and said that she wanted to make candied date steamed bread. She couldn't just make one, so she also made a Taigu cake. Two of them were Shanxi flavors, and the other two were southern snacks, and she also made thick millet porridge.

These four kinds of dim sum were not sold in Wufangzhai, so she delivered them personally, but did not go in and handed them to the gatekeeper.

She thought it was early in the morning and didn't know whether the other person got up early or slept in.

When Mo Chenxi returned to the manor, Bao sent someone to say that the second aunt was waiting to see the lady at home.

Mo Chenxi guessed that He might have heard that she was attending Mrs. Peng's banquet and came to show her courtesy.

He Shi was a standard person who used people facing forward instead of backward. When He Wenyan sent Old Madam Jiang back to her hometown, she was at her parents' home at that time. No one told He Shi about it. Old Madam Jiang didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't tell her daughter either.

There are two things about He's style of doing things. First, she never visits her parents' home unless she has something important to do. If she does, she won't go back unless she has something to ask for. Second, if she smiles and speaks, she definitely has something to ask of you.

She has been in the manor for many days and it is time to go back. The most important thing is that if she doesn't go back, Bao can't deal with He. He Jingyi is a junior and can't do anything about her aunt.

Before leaving, Mo Chenxi told Mother Liao that she would catch two chickens and send them to Madam Wang from the neighboring farm tomorrow to apologize on her behalf and hope to see her again sometime.

In the morning, the Queen Mother ate the porridge and snacks sent by Mrs. Mo. Both were Shanxi flavors, and the cooking was not as good as that in the imperial kitchen.

I haven't eaten the other two.

She thought Mrs. Mo would come to bring food in the afternoon, and she was very interested in guessing what she would bring.

But a day passed without Madam Mo coming. The Queen Mother wondered if Madam Mo was using the same hard-to-get tactics men use on her, first arousing curiosity, then keeping her away to deepen her impression.

This trick can be used not only in front of men and women, but also in many other places.

The Queen Mother didn't know whether she admired Mo's boldness or hated her methods.

Eunuch Liang said that someone from the He family in Beijing had come, and that Mrs. Mo had returned to the capital.

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want Mrs. Mo to be such a scheming person.

The next day, the mother from Hejiazhuangzi sent two live chickens and relayed their wife's words.

The Queen Mother thought to herself, the chicken has finally been delivered.

Mo Chenxi returned to He's house. As soon as she entered her yard, she saw He coming out of her room with a smile on her face. Not only was she smiling, she also came forward to support her, showing more courtesy than ever before.

"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. I've told mother before that our He family depends entirely on you."

Mo Chenxi hated this kind of people but also really admired them. If she had a quarrel with someone, no matter how great the benefits were, she would never be able to do what He did, as if nothing had happened before.

Her aunt in her previous life was this kind of person. Even if she was sitting at your door cursing you yesterday, when she wants to use you today, she will act like nothing happened and say whatever she wants to say with a smile as soon as she enters the door.

Mo Chenxi pulled his arm away and did not respond to He's words. He was not embarrassed or angry and followed Mo Chenxi in.

After Mo Chenxi came in, she didn't ask He to sit down. She drank tea first. She was so thirsty on the way.

Unexpectedly, He actually picked up the teacup and handed it over personally, "Sister-in-law, if you like drinking tea, I will bring it back to you often in the future."

Mo Chenxi said: "Your eldest brother and mother went back to their hometown, and I don't know where they are now."

He's face froze for a moment, then she smiled again. "I heard from my second sister-in-law that my eldest brother and mother have returned home. Don't worry, my eldest brother is doing a good job, and mother is in good health. I've been sick a few times this year, but mother has never been sick. She has good teeth, and she can chew bones without getting any stuck."

When Mo Chenxi heard her talking about how healthy Madam Jiang was, she realized that she had a reason for not worrying about her mother. It was because Madam Jiang's mother was in such good health that there would definitely be no problems.

"When you say that, I feel relieved."

Mo Chenxi also talked about how things were in Xiangzhou and whether the master and mother could get used to it.

He always said how much she loved her old mother and that she was the most filial and caring one, so she worried about Madam Jiang in front of He.

He didn't come back this time to talk about her mother. Her sister-in-law kept talking about it and it made her anxious.

She came here yesterday but didn't see her sister-in-law. Today she told Bao that she would wait here and asked Bao to send someone to the farm.

Finally, when the eldest sister-in-law finished her talk and was drinking tea, He Shi hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I heard that you went to attend the Peng family banquet."

Mo Chenxi said: "Yes, Madam Zhao took me there."

He knew that her eldest sister-in-law and Madam Zhao were good friends. She said regretfully, "Why didn't your eldest sister-in-law ask me to go with her that day? I wanted to see the world too."

Mo Chenxi said directly: "I can't make the decision on this."

He said, "There's something I want to tell my sister-in-law. My mother-in-law has taken a fancy to Madam Zhao's second son. After some inquiries, I found out that the Zhao family's second son didn't even pass the Tongsheng exam. My mother-in-law wants to marry her eldest granddaughter to the Zhao family. She asked me to come back and tell her so that my sister-in-law can act as a matchmaker."

Mo Chenxi blinked her eyes. Madam Jiang had ruined her daughter's marriage first. Was it her daughter's turn to mess it up next?

She said with a hint of sneer, "Mrs. Zhao said that when she marries her daughter-in-law, she must marry someone from the fifth rank."

He said, "That's what I told my mother-in-law. The Zhao family didn't even like my eldest niece. If they liked her, wouldn't they have decided on her long ago, given the relationship between Madam Zhao and my eldest sister-in-law? My mother-in-law even scolded me a few times."

He just replied that she didn't care whether the marriage between her husband's family and the Zhao family was successful or not. It had nothing to do with her and she would not benefit from it.

"Sister-in-law, next time you attend a banquet, let me know in advance. I'll go with you and will definitely not embarrass you. It's better to take me with you than those maids. It will also show that we are on good terms, and others will praise you, and I will also bring you honor."

Mo Chenxi said, "When I go to banquets like the Peng family's, I'm always the lowest status. If Madam Zhao hadn't brought me, I wouldn't even be able to get in. I've attended other banquets a few times, and some brought their daughters, some brought their daughters-in-law, but I've never seen anyone bring their sister-in-law. After all, the He family and the Gao family are two different families."

She would not say anything tactful, and she knew that even if she said so, He would still have something to say.
