Chapter 26: Servant of a High Family

The Mo family was delighted with the marriage to the Xu family.

But the Xu family was not so happy! That was really a double-edged Mrs. Xu, who could not be looked down upon even with her eyes closed.

Ever since Xu Ke was twelve years old, so many noble ladies have tried every means to show off in front of them!

Two years ago, Mrs. Xu told Xu Ke that she wanted to find a marriage partner for him.

He didn't resist, but he was a little more picky. After Mrs. Xu looked around, selected three or four targets, and asked him to set the time himself, he suddenly changed his mind!

I didn't go to see, nor did I respond, and it has been delayed until now!

No one could find out the reason, and everyone started to speculate whether their son was gay... but he suddenly fell in love with such a girl!

This result is better than Mrs. Xu's guess, so we have to do things well.

Mother Wang welcomed the person in.

Mo Yi took a look: This is a woman in her forties, with fair skin and light makeup. She has a round bun on her head and wears an exquisite gold hairpin. The style of her clothes is simple, but the material is not bad. At first glance, I thought she was a rich lady...

"Greetings to Mrs. Mo!"

Her voice was gentle, and her smile was just right. She was totally different from the mother Wang who greeted her with a grin.

"Excuse me! What's your name, please?!"

Well, mother was a little too excited. That smile, that voice... were not as generous as the servant of the noble family in front of her!

"Call me Madam Xu in the mansion!"

"Madam Xu! Come and sit down! You have worked hard today."

"I dare not say it's hard work, this is my duty!"

Madam Xu sat down and glanced around the room. It was clean inside and out, and the decoration was quite elegant.

Mrs. Mo in front of me...

Wang Wenjuan had taught her younger sister, so she didn't dress up too much today. She looked like a woman from a well-off family, but her smile was a little fake...

"Madam Xu, this is my Mo Wen."

The four girls did not sit down, but stood beside Wang.

Mo Wen smiled: "Madam Xu!"

Madam Xu took a look: the girl in front of her had two thick curved eyebrows, bright almond-shaped eyes, a hairline covering her forehead, and a standard oval face.

Her skin is delicate and fair, and when she smiles, her teeth are neat and tidy... She is tall and does not look as frail as the ordinary ladies from wealthy families.

Before, they were discussing privately that maybe she was a vixen with a seductive look!

But I didn't expect that she was a beautiful person!

From her looks to her clothes, from her manners to her expressions, she wasn't exactly great, but she was much better than I had imagined.

However, I can only say that I won't make a fool of myself. This is still too far away from being a good match for my handsome, romantic and talented Third Master!

The doubts in her heart were still there, but the Mo family couldn't see it. Aunt Xu said with an admiring expression: "This is the first time I see Miss Mo Wen. She looks so neat!"

"Mammy, you're too kind!" Mo Wen smiled generously.

Wang introduced the girls next to them: "These are my two little daughters, Mo Yi and Mo Qing, and this is my niece, Mo Yuan!"

Several girls also smiled and said, "Hello, Aunt Xu!"

Madam Xu looked at them again and said, "Mrs. Mo is so lucky that the girls in her family are all so neat!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Madam! They are only decent-looking and well-behaved!"

Mo Wen is gorgeous, Mo Yi is pretty, Mo Yuan is charming, and Mo Qing is still a little girl and nothing can be seen...

Overall, they all look good.

But Wang said it was normal and even brought up the rules, which was nothing more than a way of bragging in a different way.

"Mrs. Mo is too modest!"

Wang smiled and asked, "Is your wife okay?"

"Hello, Madam! It's just that the New Year is coming soon, and there are many things to do at home and outside."

"Of course! In a big family, the lady of the house can't be idle. My husband came back from outside a few days ago and brought back a lot of local products. I wanted to show them to relatives and friends, but I was afraid to disturb Madam Xu. Later, please ask Madam to bring some back to Madam Xu. It's not worth much, but the places he went to are not usually accessible."

"Mrs. Mo, you are too polite. Our wife said that during the Chinese New Year, we will let the Third Master come to pay you New Year's greetings. It can be the third or fourth day of the Chinese New Year, or any other day. It depends on your family's arrangements!"

Mo Wen's face flushed, his heart beat fast, and his eyes flickered. Was he going to see him again?

Mo Yi and Mo Yuan looked at each other quietly, both finding it interesting: after all, they were a wealthy family, and although they spoke politely, their content was strong. It seemed like they were letting you choose, but the scope had already been defined.

Wang's voice was filled with joy: "Oh! Really? That's great! My eldest son just came back from Xishan College. We are both scholars, so he must have something to say! Any day is fine! Any day is fine!"

Mo Wen had been standing next to Wang and touched her without making any expression.

Remind her that she was too excited.

Wang Madam reacted and said quickly, "The Mo family is in the capital, and there aren't many elders there, so it's easy to arrange. The Xu family must have a lot of social events, so why not schedule it for the third day of the first lunar month, and then see if it's convenient for Master Xu?"

"That's fine! Wait until the lady and the young master are determined, then write to Mrs. Mo!"

"good!"

Madam Xu presented the gift list.

Liu was feeling bored staying in the room and wanted to come over to take a look. When she arrived at the gate of the second room, she found Mo Rushan's men standing there, "Third Madam, the master said: There are guests in the second room today!"

She stood there expressionlessly, not trying to force her way in, but not going back either.

After seeing off Aunt Xu, Wang looked at the New Year gifts that were brought into the house. They were all good things, even the snack boxes were so beautiful!

"Wenwen, look at Aunt Xu's demeanor, how can she be a servant? I tell you, she must be a shrewd person. She can tell what you are thinking with just one look. And her methods are not bad either! We can never be too careful!" She thought to herself: Don't look at her so decent, I guess her methods are also ruthless! Maybe someone's dead!

We must find a good master for Wenwen!

"The young master of the Liang family will be here soon! After all, he is a foreigner and it is a critical moment, so it will be fine if Mo Yi is the only one to meet him. All of you, go back to your rooms first!"

After that, she took a box of snacks and handed it to Mo Yuan: "Yuanyuan, that's it for today."

Mo Yuan thanked him quietly and took the snacks back.

When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she saw Liu standing in the cold wind, and her heart softened. "Mother, please go back. Second aunt will give her daughter some snacks."

"What do you mean?" Liu grabbed Mo Yuan's arm, a little nervous.

"It was Madam Xu's maid who came!" She recalled Madam Xu's every move, "On the third day of the Chinese New Year, Master Xu came to pay New Year's greetings!"

"You really give me face!" Liu was anxious and resentful. "Hasn't the Liang family's young master met you yet? Why are you back?"

"Second Aunt said that Mr. Liang is a stranger and is currently discussing marriage, so she asked all of us girls to stay away. Only Mo Yi will be allowed to meet him!"

This is also the rule. Liu sighed: "Just now, mother was thinking, when I go home for the New Year, I should entrust your affairs to your aunt?"

"Mother, I'm afraid my aunt is neither willing nor able to do anything!"

"Yuanyuan, you don't understand. After the New Year, my mother will have to find a matchmaker. But what can a matchmaker have? It's good enough to have a son of an official! Those people may not even have a courtyard like ours. You are so beautiful, are you going to live a life worse than your mother's?"

When Liu thought of this, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

"Besides, you are so beautiful and talented. If we really help you marry into a wealthy family, won't the Liu family benefit from it?"

Mo Yuan knew her mother was anxious, but...

Although Liu was a bit clumsy, she was also a good mother.
