Chapter 162 Red Candle Guarding in vain

Aunt Zhao was very serious.

"From my point of view: no matter whether Xu Ke is as successful as he is now, it is very important for him to marry a suitable wife."

Mo Wen blinked twice, not quite understanding.

"Mr. Xu, your official position is not low, but you have to be steady and stable. You don't have to be an honest official, but you have to be clean. Otherwise, how could the Xu family live like this? Therefore, it is very important to marry a wife.

Therefore, Old Madam Xu had a generous dowry. Madam Xu married the eldest son, so her family background and status were more demanding.

By Xu Ke's generation, the family's wealth and opportunities were basically biased towards his eldest brother. So his eldest brother married the daughter of a Qingliu family, who had a good reputation and whose dowry could be ignored. But the dowry for his second brother's wife was much more generous.

In this way, life will be easier when the family is divided in the future.

If I were Madam Xu, with Xu Ke's appearance and character... not to mention others, you have also seen County Lady Wenfang. Although she is not as good-looking and talented as you, she is more suitable to be Xu Ke's wife."

"Madame Zhao..." Mo Wen was so excited that her face turned red. She didn't understand why Madame Zhao was so pessimistic about her.

"Miss Mo Wen." Aunt Zhao interrupted her, "You are very outstanding, but not outstanding enough for Xu Ke to give up his future stable and prosperous life and the help of power to marry you. And you two don't have a childhood friendship."

Mo Wen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and annoyed, "But, he was indeed willing to marry me. I didn't even talk to him about it before!"

Aunt Zhao nodded: "Then you should think more about whether there is a deeper reason here."

"What would that be?"

"I don't know. If you don't know, then you have to be on guard."

"How do you mean?"

"Beware of possible harm to you and strive for your own best interests. Never plunge into love. Don't take your face too seriously. If you worry about gains and losses in case of accidents, your behavior will be out of control. In the end, you will lose your dignity and cause him and his parents-in-law to dislike you."

Mo Wen felt like she was about to suffocate. "Madam Zhao, tell me, if you were Xu Ke, why would you marry me?"

There was no warmth in Zhao Ma's eyes. "Your appearance and temperament are impressive, which makes this marriage legitimate. I can marry you and do whatever I want... You can't get in my way."

"I can't hinder him..." Mo Wen murmured, "When we got engaged, the Mo family was weak and had little money. I have no help behind me, so I really can't hinder him. But what does he want to do? Why is he afraid of my interference? What can he do?"

Aunt Zhao shook her head.

"But what about Mo Yi?" Mo Wen became excited: "Am I not much better than Mo Yi? She can marry His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, so why am I not worthy of Xu Ke?" Mo Wen asked, feeling dissatisfied.

"We are talking about you, and it has nothing to do with Mo Yi. Besides, Mo Yi is not what you think he is. If you don't understand, then it will be difficult for you to take a step forward in the Xu family."

"I'm sorry, Aunt Zhao, I spoke without thinking..."

"Yeah. So I say: It's important to control your emotions!"

"Then, what should I do?"

"In my opinion, the most important thing is to be a daughter-in-law that the two Madams Xu approve of. Be sensible, polite, independent, and have a sense of the overall situation."

This conversation did not help Mo Wen find the answer, but it eliminated her anxiety and stimulated her fighting spirit.

I don’t believe it!

I will definitely be valued by Xu Ke.

I will definitely be able to live a good life.

…

During this period, Mo Yi set up a small workshop, which was staffed by Yunniang, Xiangzhi, and Yunniang's maid.

She went to talk to Master Jiang and figured out a lot of things.

But she didn't express her thoughts.

This kind of thing is not that special. Once people know about it, you will lose the advantage.

At this moment, she was holding six purses and going to find Mo Wen.

"I found out that the Xu family has six unmarried girls. I'll give my sister six purses as gifts. You can give them to the little girls. If you don't want to give them, you can keep them for yourself to wear with your clothes."

Mo Wen took it and looked at it, it was quite rare, "Is this the same purse you wore last time?"

"Yes. Last time I wore it out, I found that the girls liked it very much."

"Then I'll keep it!"

…

The day before the wedding, Medha passed the imperial examination.

There have been so many happy things recently that Moda was depressed to find that he did not receive the support of everyone.

On this day, before dawn, Mo Wen began to wash and dress up.

Wang was in the room, her eyes swollen like peaches from crying.

Even Mo Ruhai remained silent.

There was no sign of joy in the two of them.

Others, however, were happy.

The happiest person was Mo Qing. She was already calculating how much wedding money she could receive today.

Mo Rushan glanced at the grand scene before him. Compared to when he married off his two daughters, it was truly a world of difference!

The Mohist School has finally made some headway.

Mo Wen twisted her hair, put on makeup, put on jewelry, and finally put on a bright red wedding dress. After she was dressed up, the women in the bridal chamber kept exclaiming.

"She's so beautiful! I haven't seen such a beautiful bride in many years!"

Her face is as white as a lotus, her eyes are as black as lacquer, and her bright red wedding dress makes her look even more beautiful.

Looking in the mirror: From today on, I will be a brand new me. My life will surely be as prosperous as the rising sun!

The matchmaker kept talking, directing everyone, and going through one process after another.

Until Xu Ke came to pick up the bride.

He rode a white horse, wore a crown on his head, and a bright red wedding gown. He looked handsome, with a half-smile on his face, and a sense of dominance.

He didn't look shy or stupid like an ordinary groom at all.

It makes people's hearts beat fast when they see it.

Xu Ke didn't take care of the Xu family's wedding from beginning to end. It was Mrs. Xu and his sister-in-law who took care of it.

As the day approached, Mrs. Xu felt vaguely uneasy for some reason.

Until today, he dressed up obediently and rode on horseback to pick up his bride.

Mrs. Xu felt relieved.

Such a son-in-law is too imposing when he comes to the Wang family, and the two groomsmen around him are also out of tune with the Wang family.

Originally, Wang's cousins ​​and nephews wanted to make trouble for the groom.

But I was suppressed and didn't dare to do it!

So, after completing the process extremely smoothly, Mo Da carried Mo Wen out the door.

The sedan chair swayed into the Xu Mansion.

The ceremony of worshipping in the hall and leading the bride into the bridal chamber went very smoothly.

Under the veil, listening to the atmosphere around him, Mo Wen felt that any worries other than his own were unnecessary.

After entering the bridal chamber, Xu Ke lifted the veil.

The newlyweds met and looked each other up.

One is handsome, the other is gorgeous.

They are a match made in heaven.

Seeing Mo Wen's affectionate gaze, Xu Ke's heart was also moved.

"Are you tired?"

"Not tired." Mo Wen suppressed his excitement.

Xu Ke smiled faintly, "My wife, it's time to drink the wedding wine!" He walked to the small table in the middle of the bridal chamber.

He poured the wine, brought it over, and handed a glass to Mo Wen.

The two drank and smiled at each other.

There was a faint noise coming from outside.

"I'll have the maid bring you some food in a bit. This yard is your home from now on. You can do whatever you want... There are quite a few guests ahead, so we have to deal with them."

"My husband, go ahead. I can handle it myself!" Mo Wen said generously.

"Okay." Xu Ke glanced at her and turned to leave. He did not tell her: Wait for me to come back...

Mo Wen looked at the room, the furniture, the decorations, some of which were hers, and some were not. How nice!

The bedroom is very big. The outer room...

She secretly lifted the curtain and looked out. What a grand main hall.

"girl!"

Mo Wen was enjoying living here every day when Du Juan came in.

"You scared me!" Mo Wen scolded.

Dujuan was wearing a maid's dress made of fine material, and she had changed a lot.

"I've met Shancha and Nanny Wang. They all said that the Xu family is very respectable. They are always accompanied by someone. No one makes things difficult for them or says anything strange to them. Everything about their daily lives has been figured out. Don't worry, young lady!"

"Yeah." Mo Wen slowly opened the cabinets and looked around. There were several large cabinets in her room. One of them contained Xu Ke's things. This felt really good...

After finishing the viewing, I went to the small room next door to wash up.

The makeup was gone, revealing smooth skin, and her long black hair was draped behind her head. She was wearing a bright red satin bellyband embroidered with peony flowers and a bright red skirt, sitting in the bed curtain.

The red candles make the surroundings sweet and mysterious.

Thinking about her lover who was coming soon, there was always a shy smile on her face.

I don’t know how long I waited, so long that... It was quiet outside and Mo Wen started to feel nervous.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside and she put on a smile.

A female voice came from the door: "Madam San, Master San has urgent business to attend to and must go out. Master San said he will be back as soon as possible. You have worked hard today, so let Madam San take a rest first."

Mo Wen sat there, his face pale, but his heart felt relieved...

Something is really going on...
