Chapter 2: Good News from Heaven

After standing at the door for a while, Mo Yi felt cold all over.

Close the door quickly.

Seeing the almond soup still on the table, he picked it up and drank it while thinking: Although she is my biological sister, she has never come to my room!

It seems that my mother went out to take care of...important matters concerning her.

I waited for news, feeling uneasy, and wandered around until I came here. What's going on?

Hi!

She slapped her forehead: The girl is grown up, what "important things" could there be?

It must be a marriage!

Could it be that the thing with Brother Liang You is going to work out?

The young man who was always in a blue cloth shirt appeared in my mind, and a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

Well, it's a good marriage indeed!

I will also marry someone like this in the future!

Xiangzhi came over and said, "Girl, Xiangzhi suddenly got the idea. Here, bend it like this, fold it, and then thread it... Look!"

Mo Yi looked at it, nodded and smiled: "It's true! How come it works so well all of a sudden? Did the young lady scare you?" She joked casually, not as dull as usual.

"Yes!" Xiangzhi stuck out her tongue, "Our eldest lady is really amazing! In front of her, I dare not speak."

Mo Yi smiled again and took out the work he was about to do from the box.

Xiangye was young and a little unconvinced: "We are sisters from the same father and mother, what is the girl afraid of?"

Mo Yi fumbled with the stone and answered unconsciously, "There's nothing to be afraid of. It's just that my mother is partial to me, and there's no point in me arguing. No matter how fiercely we argue, it's just a matter of a few words and two pieces of clothing. If we make a big fuss and involve my father and make him angry... it will not be worth it. It's better to do more work with this time!"

Well, these two pieces of material are very good. They can be carved into white magnolia earrings with silver hooks on them.

Wear these earrings and use magnolia scented incense. Pretty, right?!

It will definitely sell for a good price!

The summer before last, she and her father secretly opened a small business, using jade, agate, sapphire, rhodonite, amber, tourmaline and other materials to make objects such as jade locks, necklaces, earrings, collars, bracelets, fans, purse pendants and so on.

My father is responsible for finding the materials.

She was responsible for drawing the patterns and weaving the ropes and making the nets.

I also found a skilled carver.

I rented a small stall and hired my own friends to work as waiters to sell these things.

The stall was set up and idle for more than three months before it was finally opened.

But even so, the father and daughter still made a net profit of fifty taels of silver that year.

A smile appeared on Mo Yi's lips.

Last year, I worked for a whole year and earned nearly three hundred taels of silver, and I also had a lot of money left over.

This year, although the accounts have not been settled yet, it looks better than last year.

My father's career was not going well and his salary was very low.

All the family property is controlled by my mother.

Although he was not stingy in terms of clothing, he was very careful with money.

All year round, he doesn't have much money.

My father has no other hobbies, he just likes drinking tea, buying books, and chatting with friends in small teahouses and restaurants...

But he had no money in his pocket.

How can I feel comfortable asking others to treat me all the time?

If I wanted to invite friends, I had to ask my mother for money long in advance.

Often, people would scold them: "You only associate with poor people. What use is this to your career?"

Hey! In the end, you often don’t get the money, but you are still very angry.

My father is not a broad-minded person. When he gets angry, he gets really angry, and he stays angry for a long time...

Ever since the father and daughter started their small business...

Although the money earned was not much, my father seemed to have found his confidence and a smile appeared on his face.

I also brought her back storybooks, pine nut candies, snacks, braised beef offal, and small trinkets.

The father and daughter truly realized: No one has more money than themselves!

This time, my father was on a business trip with his chief officer, and the place they were going to was famous for its various materials and carvings.

Let him take all his silver with him. If he buys goods there, they will surely be good and cheap!

If the product is good, you can earn more next year.

Thinking of this, Mo Yi became full of energy.

It's not easy to hide this from everyone in the family, especially my mother!

Her nose was scented with daffodils and her mouth was scented with osmanthus.

The years are so peaceful!

But...are mother and elder sister discussing marriage?

…

On the other side, Mo Wen was anxious and hurried.

He didn't even put on his cloak properly.

Although the cold was biting and my face was chilled, my ears were burning.

I entered my mother's yard, stopped, took a deep breath, and walked into the house leisurely.

The maid Qiuxiang quickly opened the door curtain and called out with a smile, "Big Miss!"

Then he turned around and shouted to the next room: "Madam, the eldest girl is here!"

Wang Xiu'e, the second wife of the Mo family, responded from the inner room.

"Miss, the lady just came in and is changing her clothes!"

"Mother, why did you come back just now?!" Mo Wen walked in, handed the cloak to Du Juan, and stared at the embroidered door curtain in the inner room.

No one answered. After a while, Mrs. Mo came out accompanied by her maid Qiuhong and sat down.

She is in her early forties and has five children.

I usually eat delicious food, especially sweets. So now I have a big belly but no waist, and I look quite plump.

But she was white with black hair, which made her look very young.

I just changed into a dark-colored, casual silk long jacket and loose-fitting silk trousers in the inner room.

She was still wearing jewelry on her head that she only wore when going out.

After Mo Wen bowed gently, he looked at his mother's expression carefully, trying to see the result...

The result... no expression!

Qiuhong stood behind him and took off the jewelry on her head and put them on the tray as she took them off.

Wang took off the jade and gold bracelets herself and put them away. Then she turned around and picked up the teacup, sighing, "It's still quite cold!"

"Mother..." Mo Wen urged with a look of anger in his eyes, his heart pounding.

Wang turned to look at her and suddenly laughed out loud: "Wenwen, don't be anxious... about that matter..." She dragged out the words: "It's done!"

Mo Wen's wide eyes suddenly lit up and his cheeks turned red.

"Really? Mother...please don't lie to your daughter."

"Why would I lie to you?" Wang raised her chin, her eyes wrinkled with smile.

The fact that this could be accomplished was completely beyond her expectations.

"Look! My dear daughter..." She looked at Mo Wen lovingly.

The eldest daughter in front of me had thick hair, sideburns, an oval face, big watery almond-shaped eyes, a high nose bridge, and a red mouth. She was bright and beautiful, and extremely beautiful!

That figure looks even more like mine!

Although she is still a girl, she is a bit thin.

But the convex parts are convex and the concave parts are concave, which shows at first glance that it is suitable for fertility.

Isn't this the look that wealthy families like most when they are looking for their daughter-in-law? !

What's more, she speaks and acts in a generous and decent manner. She also plays the piano very well, and is the most outstanding girl among her relatives and friends!

Unfortunately...

When Wang thought of this, she began to nag uncontrollably: "If it weren't for the Mo family, it would be impossible! Your father can't make a name for himself and can't support you... With your ability, what kind of family can't you marry into?"

This mouth is just complaining.

"Mother...please talk to your daughter!" Seeing that she had gone off topic again, Mo Wen quickly pulled her back.

"What a blessing from heaven! No one would have thought that you would have such a marriage!" Wang was so happy that her eyebrows were beaming with joy!

"It seems that you left a very good impression on Master Xu. When your aunt and Madam Jiang met Madam Xu, they kept saying things in different ways..." She clapped her hands and said, "Isn't it? The Xu family took the initiative to propose marriage!"

Mo Wen's usually fair face turned red.

Wang took out a marriage certificate. "On the way back, I made a special trip to Hongxianzhai and asked a master to calculate your horoscopes. The two of you are so compatible!"

After receiving the engagement letter, Mo Wen thought about that day, that person...
