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

Seeing that Wang Jingye's expression didn't change at all, Mo Chenxi knew that he must be often scolded by his brother-in-law.

Nie Chengping said to Mo Chenxi, "I understand what you mean, but I won't be in the capital for long. I can only give him some guidance on textbooks."

Mo Chenxi said: "It doesn't matter. If you are willing, I can let my eldest son follow you to Pingyang Mansion."

Nie Chengping looked at his brother-in-law strangely, and when he saw his brother-in-law wink at him, he realized that his brother-in-law did not reveal his specific identity.

He said, "It depends on fate."

Mo Chenxi said no more. For someone with this kind of personality to say that it depends on fate is already giving face to the Mo family. Otherwise, if he rejects you on the spot and embarrasses you, you won't be able to do anything about it.

After coming out, she hurried to see her father. Seeing Shanluo was at her father's place, she made an excuse to let Shanluo go home first.

Before she could speak, her father said, "I was just thinking of asking you to ask Mr. Nie to teach Shanluo, but you thought of it first. Some teachers can teach dumb students and turn them into scholars. If Shanluo can meet a good teacher and work harder, he can still pass the exam and become a scholar."

“I’m not a good teacher because I don’t have the patience. A teacher must not only be patient but also be able to teach and teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

"When it comes to growing vegetables, I'm patient. I can figure out by myself when to water each vegetable more and when to water it less. It's the same with teaching students. Students are like different vegetables. Each vegetable has a different time to plant, grow, bloom and bear fruit. But teaching is a model, so some people can pass the imperial examination, some can become the top scholar, and some can't even pass the examination."

Mo Chenxi asked, "How did Dad pass the imperial examination?"

Mo Yuanji said, "I have to thank your great-grandfather, who is also my grandfather. My grandfather said that diligence can make up for lack of talent. Of course, he didn't use an idiom. He said that studying is like planting crops. If the land is not fertile, you have to spend time fertilizing, weeding, and watering. Even if you spend all your time and effort, the yield may not be half of that of the good land. But who asked you to share that piece of land?

"I know what my grandfather said. First, he meant that our Mo family cannot compare to those wealthy families. Second, my personal qualifications are not that good either. I can only make up for my shortcomings with hard work.

"Before I passed the imperial examination, I slept less than three hours a day. After passing, I followed my teacher for two years to broaden my horizons so that I could answer the examination questions more comprehensively.

"I was lucky enough to go out. That year, there was a severe drought in the south, and I watched along the way how the imperial court and the people fought against the drought. When I took the imperial examination, there happened to be a question related to this, so I was lucky enough to pass."

After hearing what his father said, Mo Chenxi wanted He Shanluo to go to the northwest with Brother Wang and the others even more.

She told her father what she had just said to Mr. Nie.

Mo Yuanji nodded and said, "That's fine. Otherwise, if he stays in Beijing, his family will take care of everything for him. When he's away from home, he'll have to handle everything himself."

Mo Chenxi said, "They won't leave for now. Let Shanluo study with Mr. Nie first. If Mr. Nie agrees to accept him as a student, I will go and discuss with the Cao family to let them get married as soon as possible, and then the young couple can go together."

She thought to herself that before leaving, she should tell her daughter-in-law not to treat her husband like a giant baby who only needs to open his mouth to eat and stretch out his hands to get dressed.

Finally, she talked about the chili peppers. "Dad, Big Brother Wang brought some back from the farm and gave me some chili peppers. He asked me to bring them to him tomorrow to cook. He said he has another one from the farm and I'll give him half. Dad, find a way to use the seeds from the dried chili peppers to grow in the new farm you bought."

Mo Yuanji agreed. Although he had never heard of the name, there were many vegetables in Yunnan and Guizhou that he might not be familiar with.

But seeing the excitement on my daughter's face, I was puzzled.

Of course Mo Chenxi was excited, thinking that chili peppers meant money.

"Dad, don't underestimate this chili pepper. I can make a dish with it that's unrivaled not only in the capital, but also in the entire Yan Kingdom. It can also be used as medicine. Frostbite ointment with this will be even more effective. If we keep the seeds, we can earn more money in the future than running a restaurant."

Mo Yuanji was surprised. He didn't quite believe it. No one would believe that the profit from eating seeds was greater than that from running a restaurant.

Mo Chenxi thought that her father would know about the dish she cooked tomorrow.

"Dad, we need to hire someone to look after the farm from now on. It would be best if we could buy a few dogs. Also, after the seeds are planted, we can't give them to anyone who wants them. Otherwise, someone else will plant them and make a fortune, while we can only earn enough to eat."

When she said this, Mo Yuanji took it seriously and said, "I'll make the arrangements."

Mo Chenxi was worried and she couldn't sleep tonight unless she got the chili peppers.

"Dad, tell Dazhi to find a way to quickly follow Brother Wang to get back the share that was given to me. I'm afraid Brother Wang will give it away casually again."

Seeing that his daughter took it so seriously, Mo Yuanji called his son over to explain.

Mo Xinzhi is serious about his work and will do his best to complete whatever he is asked to do.

He went to find Wang Jingye and said embarrassedly, "Brother Wang, my sister said you promised to give her the vegetable seeds. I happen to be free now, so I'll go with you to get them."

Wang Jingye said happily, "Do we really need to go get it ourselves? I'll send someone to bring it back directly. If your eldest sister likes it, leave some for her. Oh, by the way, your father grows vegetables, so I'll give it all to you. When you can grow it, give me the new seeds. I'm taking it back so that others can try to grow it. No one can compare to your father in vegetable cultivation."

Within an hour, the two large bags of chili peppers arrived at the Mo family.

Mo Yuanji didn't dare to put it in the warehouse, so he asked his son to move into the house where he lived.

Old Mrs. Mo took out a little, scooped it up with her hand, put it under her nose and smelled it, then she sneezed and quickly went to wash her hands.

"Oh my god! What is this? It's more powerful than dogwood."

While wiping his hands, he said, "Oh, my hands are stinging and hot."

Mo Yuanji remembered what his daughter said about using it to make frostbite cream, and he had an idea. If it could be grown, the sales to drug dealers alone would be a huge profit.

No wonder my daughter said that if it is done well, it will make more money than making wine.

He said calmly, "This is for cooking. If I put it in the warehouse, I'm afraid someone might misuse it."

Old Mrs. Mo understood how precious this thing was to her husband, so she kept some seeds in the house like treasures, intending to plant them the next year.

No one usually goes into the old couple's house, so it's safest to keep it here.

Mo Chenxi went home and planned what to cook for tomorrow.

The two-color fish head is a must-have, as are the home-cooked dishes like mapo tofu and pickled fish. Hot pot is a must-have. Hot pot has existed in ancient times, but there was no spicy hot pot. Eating spicy hot pot in winter is so spicy and refreshing.

Chili peppers are suitable for both the rich and the poor. Poor people can't bear to use oil, so they can sprinkle some dry chili peppers and add some water to make the base of the pot.

It can’t be just spicy dishes, add a few non-spicy ones as well, and Mrs. Wang must enjoy the food so that Mr. Nie can teach Shanluo wholeheartedly.
