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

When Mrs. Cao came in, the first thing she saw was Mo Chenxi.

She had seen Mrs. Mo at other people's banquets before, but they had no contact.

Madam Cao greeted Madam Zhao with a smile first. Madam Zhao asked Madam Cao to sit down, exchanged a few polite words, and then introduced Mo Chenxi and the other person.

"This is Madam He, and this is her sister-in-law, Madam He II."

Mo Chenxi stood up, and Bao followed her and stood up to greet Old Lady Cao.

Old Madam Cao took a careful look at Bao and saw that she was nervous and cautious, but not as fearful as when she looked at Mo Chenxi from time to time.

Some mistresses of families take their illegitimate brothers' wives out just to show that they treat their sisters-in-law in harmony. But the real harmony depends on the performance of the illegitimate sisters-in-law.

Old Madam Cao was satisfied at first, as Mrs. Mo and her sisters-in-law really got along well.

Old Madam Zhao then introduced Cao Yue'e, the granddaughter of the Cao family. Cao Yue'e blushed slightly and stepped forward to salute. She was quite confident and spoke clearly, unlike some young girls who would speak vaguely and with a lisp when they were nervous.

Cao Yu'e looks like her grandmother, especially her eyes, which are both sharp. This is not a good thing, because it will make people feel powerful.

Mo Chenxi thought that if this marriage could be successful, she would teach her daughter-in-law to be more restrained and show weakness.

Men like gentle women, not strong ones. If a woman acts strong right after marriage, men will be turned away from her and her heart.

Mo Chenxi took out the gift and gave it to Cao Yue'e, and Bao followed suit. Female family members would carry a few small pieces of jewelry with them when they went out, ready to give to others.

At this time, Mrs. Jiang came. She always dressed gorgeously and wore exquisite jewelry on her head.

When she saw Mo Chenxi, the first thing she looked at was her jewelry. This time, the jewelry she wore was just ordinary.

Madam Jiang didn't greet the host family. She first smiled at Mo Chenxi and said, "Madam He is here. I thought you went to Tongzhou."

He said this, fearing that others would not know that He Wenyan had been demoted. Everyone present looked at Mo Chenxi.

Old Madam Cao paid even more attention.

Mo Chenxi's expression didn't change. She smiled and said, "Men go to work, what are women to do? My master is not as good as Lord Jiang. He is destined to be a hard worker."

Someone turned her head and laughed secretly, and Old Lady Cao appreciated it. She didn't like some women being pointed at by others, and being afraid of the other person's identity and not daring to talk back.

She saw that Madam He not only remained calm, but also pointed out that Mr. Jiang was only relying on the fact that there was a Concubine Jiang in the palace to get his official position, and he was just doing nothing every day.

Wherever Mrs. Jiang went, people would stick to her. She knew that some people looked down on her, but they would never embarrass her.

But this Madam He has no status and no background, and she even embarrassed her?

She was just about to spit out a few more sarcasm when she saw Cao Yue'e again, and she became even more furious.

Because her nephew from her mother's side fell in love with Cao Yue'e, her brother would definitely not agree. There were so many ladies from wealthy families in Beijing, he could have taken a fancy to any of them, but he chose the eldest daughter who had lost her mother, and her father was just a manager.

The reason why Old Lady Cao was so anxious to find a husband for her granddaughter was, firstly, that her granddaughter was indeed old, and secondly, she knew that Lady Jiang's nephew had set his sights on her granddaughter, but the Cao family disagreed.

Madam Jiang's family relied on the Jiang family, so their descendants were not well educated, and they were not even considered dandies. At least they could be called dandies, and they all had some skills, some of them were proficient in piano, calligraphy and painting.

So when Old Lady Zhao mentioned the He family to her, she could barely look at them, mainly because Old Lady Zhao always praised Madam He.

Otherwise, just look at the He family, a family of independent residence, with a confused old man and mother and daughter, and Mr. He is a confused person. Such a family is not in her eyes.

However, if her granddaughter really married into the He family, her Cao family was not the Mo family, and her granddaughter was not the Mo family. She would let Madam Jiang know what kind of person could be called a lady of imperial decree.

Old Madam Jiang, who was far away in Xiangzhou, had no idea that someone was already trying to deal with her before she even returned to Beijing.

When Madam Jiang saw Cao Yue'e, she secretly hated her but smiled on the surface, "Isn't this Miss Cao?"

She looked at Mo Chenxi again, and remembered that the He family had an eldest son who couldn't even pass the examination to become a scholar.

Madam Jiang smiled and said, "Are you here to visit someone today? Madam He is so lucky."

She said this on purpose so that both families would be punished.

Mo Chenxi smiled faintly, "Thank you for your good words, I hope to have this good fortune."

Since the marriage was not settled, she couldn't say anything else, but she also couldn't let Madam Jiang slander Miss Cao.

She saw a flash of anger in Miss Cao's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and she still stood gracefully behind Madam Cao.

Mrs. Jiang felt that she had finally caught the opportunity to praise Miss Cao in person. No one asked her to sit down, so she sat down and said, "I'm not praising Miss Cao, but she grew up with her grandmother."

It means there is no mother to teach.

"She's got a clever personality, but I like that. If a man doesn't have any abilities, he'll have to rely on women to take care of him."

She glanced at Mo Chenxi. Last time at the banquet at Madam Peng's house, she stopped talking and didn't continue to provoke her because Mo Chenxi brought a piece of jewelry from the palace.

After some research, it turned out that it was simply because Mo's father had entered the palace and cooked a small dish and received a reward from the Empress Dowager, just like rewarding eunuchs and palace maids. It was nothing special, which made her think too much.

She will not let Mo go today.

Mrs. Jiang chuckled twice, and Mo Chenxi looked at her with admiration. In modern times, she had met a female boss, probably the boss's wife, who relied on men rather than her own abilities. She might have been pretending, a bit like Mrs. Jiang, afraid that no one knew that she was rich and had status.

A self-employed boss lady only feels that she has status in front of her employees, but in the eyes of people working in the system, she is nothing.

Just like Madam Jiang, among the women of lower rank, she felt that she had a very high status. Who among those women from high-ranking noble families took her seriously?

That's why she likes to attend these low-class banquets to show off.

Madam Jiang laughed a few times and said, "But for men, taking a concubine is nothing, it's just a toy. If everyone is like Madam Chang, ruining their husbands and forcing their sons to leave their hometown, what good will it do?"

After she finished speaking, she deliberately covered her mouth and said to Mo Chenxi with a smile: "Look at me, why did I mention her?"

In fact, everyone understood that she deliberately reminded everyone that Mrs. He was possessed by Mrs. Chang.

Mo Chenxi's personality is not that of a fighting cock who would argue with everyone he meets, but he also won't let others point fingers at him and say anything to him.

She smiled slightly and said, "I don't quite agree with what Madam Jiang said. If the Chang family hadn't kept a mistress outside and hadn't given all the family property to the bastard, the family wouldn't have broken up. This isn't Madam Chang's fault, it's the Chang family's fault. A man taking a concubine is just a toy, as Madam Jiang said. But forcing the original wife to hang herself for a concubine, doesn't Madam Jiang think it's still the woman's fault?"
