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

Seeing that Mo's parents agreed to the marriage, Mo Chenxi told He Shanluo.

He Shanluo is really like his father. He is not impulsive, but he is not calm either. He follows the rules.

He said: "The matchmaker's words are the parents' orders, and the son will obey his parents' arrangements."

Mo Chenxi said: "Your father discussed your marriage when he left. It's OK as long as your grandfather and I agree. But I still hope you can meet someone. It's better to like each other than to dislike each other."

He Shanluo blushed. After all, he was a young man. He had only known how to study hard and had never thought about what kind of woman he would marry.

Hearing my mother say that they liked each other, my heart was moved.

He hopes that the other person will be gentle and generous, have a good temper, be filial to his parents-in-law, and be kind to his younger siblings.

If Mo Chenxi knew what his eldest son thought, he would complain that men in ancient and modern times want to outsource filial piety to their wives when they get married.

She told Mrs. Zhao that she agreed to the marriage, and the Cao family acted quickly, making an appointment to meet two days later.

Mo Chenxi took his eldest son and daughter to a bookstore.

Mo Chenxi and the others arrived first. Old Madam Cao brought her granddaughter, and this time Mrs. Cao followed.

As if it were a chance encounter, Mrs. Cao was surprised when she saw Mo Chenxi. "What a coincidence, Mrs. He, are you here to buy calligraphy and paintings too?"

Mo Chenxi pretended to be surprised and walked forward to pick up the luggage. "What a coincidence! I want to buy two books for my little daughter and ask her big brother to help pick them out."

She greeted Mrs. Cao first, and then introduced her eldest son.

He Shanluo looks like his father in height and appearance, and is a handsome man. He blushed a little, pretended to be calm, and stepped forward to salute.

After He Jingyi finished her greetings, she said to Cao Yue'e affectionately, "Sister Cao, we meet again."

Cao Yue'e also blushed.

There's nothing strange about this. If she doesn't blush, she's an experienced blind date expert.

Next, Mrs. Cao introduced her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Cao, and they bowed again.

Mo Chenxi saw that Madam Cao was younger than her, slightly plump, and had no resentment on her face, which showed that she was a kind-hearted and plump person.

She spoke politely and invited Mo Chenxi to visit the Cao family.

Seeing that Madam Cao didn't agree with her daughter-in-law's words, Mo Chenxi said, "I've been busy lately. I'll definitely come visit you when I'm free someday."

I thought that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was just as Mrs. Zhao said, not getting along.

Fortunately, he is marrying a daughter-in-law, not a daughter. If he were marrying a daughter, it would not be suitable for such a family. The mother-in-law and the grandmother-in-law are not in harmony, and it would be difficult for the new daughter-in-law.

This happened in a public place and neither of them stayed for long. It was not difficult to see from their expressions that they were very satisfied with each other.

After returning, Mo Chenxi asked He Shanluo how it went. He Shanluo lowered his head, embarrassed, and whispered, "Mother makes the decision."

Mo Chenxi smiled, this meant he had taken a liking to Miss Cao.

Cao Yue'e wasn't dazzlingly beautiful. How many beautiful women are there in real life? Most of them are of average appearance.

Cao Yue'e is prettier than average-looking, with a medium build. Because it was a blind date, she had a shy expression and gentle eyes.

So He Shanluo was quite satisfied.

In this way, the two families arranged a marriage, and they could also tell others that their children were in-laws.

After the marriage was decided, He Shanluo asked his mother how to prepare the betrothal gifts. He sounded worried, as if he was afraid that his family would not have enough money to prepare the betrothal gifts for him, which would put his mother in a difficult position. It was not the kind of worry that the family would not be able to come up with the money and that the marriage would fail.

Mo Chenxi said to him, "Don't worry, Mom has prepared it for you early in the morning."

He actually believed it, and his personality was exactly the same as his father's. He didn't even think about the time when his mother was sick and had no money to pay for the medicine.

He Jingyi was also worried about this issue. Mo Chenxi said the same thing, but He Jingyi didn't believe it.

"Mother, don't try to coax me. If I had prepared in advance, I wouldn't have sold the shop. I'll give you a smaller dowry and prepare more for my eldest brother. Madam Zhao is a good person, and I'll be more filial to her in the future."

Mo Chenxi felt warm in her heart. It was her blessing to have a daughter who could be so understanding of her mother.

She said, "Don't worry. We are truly prepared. When we sold the shop, we were determined not to touch the betrothal gifts and dowry for your marriage."

The original owner had secretly hidden some silver, so she found it and gave it to her father. Her father confiscated it and gave her the profits from Wufangzhai, which she could add up to prepare a betrothal gift for Shanluo.

Jingyi's marriage was delayed for a year, and the money earned at that time was saved to buy her dowry.

She didn't expect that when Wang Jingye heard that He Shanluo was engaged, he took out three gift boxes and said that they were given by others and he was too lazy to take them home, so he gave them to the He family as a gift.

Mo Xinzhi took it and repeated Wang Jingye's original words.

Mo Chenxi opened the jewelry box, and found one set of head ornaments, one set of study treasures, and a box of pearls.

When Mo Chenxi opened it and took a look, his first thought was that he was really a rich man.

Her current financial situation does not allow for this.

Although she was not very knowledgeable, she saw that the headwear was exquisite, no less than those in high-end jewelry stores, and Wang Jingye would not give her ordinary calligraphy and painting. Pearls must be real because there was no technology and hard work in ancient times.

She didn't know that Wang Jingye had gone to the palace to ask his cousin for these things. He said that there were so many things in the royal storehouse just gathering dust, so why not he take a few away.

He asked Eunuch Liang to prepare it, saying that it could not have the words "made in the royal family" and it couldn't be too expensive, otherwise the Mo family would become suspicious.

This made Eunuch Liang worried. It was easy to pick out expensive items from the royal treasury, but it was not easy to pick out inexpensive items.

It took him a long time to find these three things.

The reason why Wang Jingye sent the gift in advance was because he saw that Mo Xinzhi was worried. After asking, he learned that it was Mo's eldest son who was getting engaged, and his uncle was worried about the betrothal gifts.

Wang Jingye didn't want to face a worried face every day, so he found an excuse to send a gift in advance.

He laughed himself and said to the Queen Mother, "Who would believe this if I told anyone else? Giving gifts to others, and then being afraid they won't accept them, you still have to make excuses. This Mo Xinzhi is just like my brother-in-law. It's obviously me who carefully selected and prepared it, and it's my brother-in-law who likes it. So I have to say, it's gathering dust at home. If you take it back, give it to someone or keep it for yourself, you'll be doing me a favor."

The Queen Mother knew my cousin's brother-in-law, and my grandmother was choosing a marriage for her, and she also planned to marry my cousin's brother-in-law.

My mother said that the candidate seemed to have a bit of a stubborn temper. My grandmother said that this kind of person had no bad intentions and that he spent all his energy on stubbornness. As long as you coax him, he will feel comfortable and will listen to you in everything.

The Queen Mother overheard this, and after that she had a good impression of her cousin's family, as she thought they were a family recognized by her grandmother.

That year, my cousin's brother-in-law went to Beijing to take part in the imperial examination and ranked low. Queen Mother Wang, out of kindness, wanted to make her cousin's brother have a better reputation, so she secretly instructed the chief examiner to move his ranking forward.

Who knew that my cousin blurted it out and his brother-in-law got angry. He then refused to become an official and decided to be a teacher in his hometown.

My cousin's wife scolded my cousin harshly. My cousin was angry and fawning towards his brother-in-law, trying to find ways to make him smile.

My cousin said that it is harder than getting a beautiful woman to smile.

It was also the first time that Queen Mother Wang heard of such a stubborn person. The cousin said that fortunately Mo Xinzhi was not as stubborn as his brother-in-law, otherwise he would not deal with Mo Xinzhi and would feel like he was facing his brother-in-law.
