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

The next day, Mo Chenxi cooked a few dishes herself at her mother's house. There were several big dishes that were quite complicated. She went to buy fish, shrimp, crabs, turtles, etc. early in the morning.

Crab stuffed with orange, it is said that this was only available in the imperial kitchen in ancient times, but Mo Chenxi couldn't remember which dynasty it was from.

Since ordinary people can’t afford it anyway, she decided to show off her skills.

Turtle soup is a medicinal food and is nutritious; lotus prawns are colorful, fragrant and delicious.

Add a few spicy dishes, hot pot in the middle, and the staple food is oil-splashed noodles.

Her mother and sister-in-law Zhou helped her, and there were two maids who did odd jobs.

Wang Jingye and his wife were in the guest room. They smelled something spicy and his daughter covered her nose.

Wang Jingye said, "The smell is too strong. My child can't stand it. Let's go out for a walk and come back when it's done."

Mrs. Wang thought it would be a good opportunity to go to the jewelry store to buy some jewelry for the women of the Mo family. She saw that everyone in the Mo family, from Old Lady Mo to his daughter-in-law to Mrs. Mo, were dressed in ordinary clothes and wore simple jewelry.

Thinking about what her husband said about the Mo family being honest, she thought about how they paid more for the shop and then borrowed money from everywhere.

Even so, my husband still causes trouble to others

The Mo family thought that Wang Jingye had been a great help, lending them money and helping with the design and construction.

But Mrs. Wang and her siblings thought that Wang Jingye was causing trouble for them.

Mrs. Wang also wanted to buy some fabrics and send them to the Mo family. She also wanted to make a few clothes for herself. She didn't need to trouble the Mo family. The maids and servants she brought with her all lived in the Mo family and had nothing to do, so she could make clothes for herself, her daughter, and her husband's younger brother.

She asked her husband, and he said that the restaurant would be almost completed before the New Year, and it would be impossible for her husband to leave before the restaurant was completed. That would be more painful than killing him.

She also wanted to get to know the Queen Mother better, which was her main purpose for coming to Beijing. If she brought her son with her, it would be too purposeful. The Queen Mother hated people who took advantage of her the most. Her eldest daughter was thirteen years old, so she didn't want the Queen Mother to misunderstand her purpose.

I brought my little daughter here because I thought she would have a good reputation when she grows up. I paid my respects to the Queen Mother and received her reward. It would be even better if I could also receive her praise.

Wang Jingye didn't know his wife's little tricks. Sitting in the carriage, he said to his wife, "Every time I enter the palace, I wear a mask. I've been staying on East Street in Beijing for so long. They don't know who I am and think I'm a businessman from Pingyang Prefecture. Your junior sister, General Xue's sister-in-law's family is from Pingyang Prefecture. I saw the Mo family and guessed that I was a relative of the general's mansion."

He said with a smile, "Let them think so. When the manor is built, we will move there and let cousin meet our Xiangxiang."

Mrs. Wang said, "I brought some black rice with me. You can go to the palace and give it to your cousin. It's a specialty of our hometown."

"No need, I'll put it in the manor when the time comes."

The couple was talking when they arrived at East Street. After getting off the carriage, Mrs. Wang saw that her husband greeted everyone, which showed that he was doing very well here.

My husband and my younger brother have completely opposite personalities. My younger brother wishes that no one would recognize him, while my husband wishes that everyone would know him, not because they know him as the empress dowager's cousin, but because they know him as a person.

That’s why my husband never tells us where he is from when he goes out.

Wang Jingye was on East Street, and everyone in the shops knew him. He was eloquent and generous, and people would buy things from one store or another.

Taking Mo Dongjia to eat with everyone every day, shop owners like such customers.

It was his first time to go to a fabric shop. The owner of the silk shop had been looking forward to seeing Mr. Wang come into his shop.

I wondered why Mr. Wang didn't take a female relative with him. It's not appropriate for a man to buy fabrics.

Finally, Wang Dongjia came in with his family, holding a baby girl. He was so excited that his voice trembled. "Wang Dongjia, please come in, come in. It's a great honor for us to have you here." Wang Jingye smiled and said, "Have you been waiting for this? It's not that I don't want to help, but who would a grown man like me buy fabrics for? It would only lead to gossip. I'm buying some for my wife and daughter today."

The host bowed and saluted Mrs. Wang, looked at the little girl Wang Jingye was holding, and asked, "Is this your young lady? We have some embroidered satin that we just shipped from Hangzhou."

Wang Jingye asked, "Do you have any brocade? My daughter only wears brocade."

The shopkeeper took a look at the little girl held by Mrs. Wang and Mr. Wang, who was not dressed luxuriously, and thought that Mr. Wang was a local rich man who came to the city and was not sure how to show off.

The shop owner invited them to sit down, asked the boy to serve tea, and said with a smile, "Whatever Mr. Wang wants, the shop has it."

Wang Jingye asked his wife to hold his daughter while he went to choose one himself.

I felt strange again. Usually it was women who picked things, but this Mr. Wang was different from others.

While he was choosing, two people came in. The shop owner saw them and hurried to greet them, "Third Master is here. It's been a long time since you came to my shop. I look forward to your coming like the stars and the moon every day."

Wang Jingye took a look and saw that he was a fool who brought prostitutes out to spend money.

The visitor was Prince Weixing's brother-in-law, Qiu Guanghao. He had recently hired a top performer and brought her to East Street today just to see how the Mo Family Restaurant was being built.

As soon as he saw Wang Jingye, he knew that he was here to help the Mo family. He originally wanted to go to the second floor, but he didn't go.

I am happy in my heart. I must teach him a lesson today. It is his fault that he went to help the Mo family after having nothing to do. It would be best if he quit the Mo family.

When Qiu Guanghao saw Mrs. Wang holding their daughter and she was quite old, he guessed that she was a concubine. This kind of businessman likes to do this.

He asked the courtesan to sit down, and he pretended to follow Wang Jingye.

After Wang Jingye finished selecting with great concentration, he turned around and saw someone looking at him with shifty eyes.

The first thing he did was look at his wife and daughter, and thought that this lecher was so bold that his face immediately turned unhappy.

Seeing Wang Jingye looking at him, Qiu Guanghao put down the fabric in his hand and said, "I am Mr. Wang. I have heard of your name for a long time. My last name is Qiu, and others call me Mr. Qiu Sanye."

Wang Jingye had never heard of Mr. Qiu Sanye on East Street. He said politely, "I've heard a lot about him."

Qiu Guanghao said, "I heard that you were the one helping the Mo Family Restaurant?"

Wang Jingye said: "Yes, Mr. Mo and I are friends."

Qiu Guanghao groaned, his tone somewhat sarcastic, "I admire your courage."

Wang Jingye was puzzled. "You are so brave."

Qiu Guanghao laughed heartily. "Boss Wang is right. Now that we've met, I'll invite you to Zuixianlou to try the new dishes. It's better to do it today than today."

Wang Jingye looked at him like he was a fool. Is there something wrong with this guy? He brought a courtesan with him and wanted to treat me to a meal?

It would be fine if I was alone, but now I’m with my wife and children. What does he think of me?

Mrs. Wang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. She had never been insulted like this in her life. She was asked to dine at the same table with a courtesan.

I don’t know who this person is. Is there such a fool in Beijing who has never seen the world?

There was no need to talk to such a fool. She stood up with her daughter in her arms and said to her husband, "Let's go."

Qiu Guanghao was unhappy. This man was ungrateful. He had just announced his name. Who in Beijing didn't know who Mr. Qiu Sanye was?

Wang Dongjia knew it clearly, but he still refused to give him face. He said with a sullen face, "Haha, there really are people who don't know how to be shameless even when given face!"
