Chapter 58: Try Your Best Again

Finally, the three leaders of the Mohist School came to an agreement:

Yunniang entered the family as a concubine, while Haoger and Linger were still illegitimate children.

On the morning of the second day of the New Year, Yunniang served tea to Liu, who was dressed up gorgeously and acted like a mistress.

Liu then looked at her carefully. Her face was just decent, and she was a very ordinary woman. Look at Mo Rushong's achievements! Liu's anger subsided a little. She thought to herself: I will talk about it after my Yuanyuan's problem is resolved!

The Mohist family suddenly had two neat boys, and the men were very happy. Moreover, Hao Ge'er was just at the age of enlightenment. When asked, he could recite poems and recognize some words.

If he is well educated, he will be the future of the Mo family. Mo Rushan pointed at Mo Bao and said, "Take care of your brother!"

When the fat boy saw that he had a younger brother, he also started to act like an older brother.

Today is the day that Wang returns to her parents' home. After seeing Yunniang serve tea, she should leave.

As a result, Mo Ruhai hesitated and asked the family car to take Liu and Zhou back to their parents' home first. It was after noon that Wang and her group set off.

Mo Ruhai had missed lunch with brother-in-law Qin perfectly. He was very happy as he was no longer bothered by the fish dishes.

Wang was furious, but she hadn't slept well in the past two days, so she didn't have the energy to fight him. When she arrived at Wang's house, as expected, her eldest sister and her husband had already hurriedly finished their meal and left.

But there were still many relatives and friends. As soon as they arrived, after seeing the gifts and receiving the New Year's money, some people surrounded Mo Yi.

Mo Yi obviously looked like a grown-up girl. She wore a purple silk jacket, a gold hairpin on her head, and looked very healthy.

Two old ladies and three middle-aged women pulled her together, praised her with a smile for a long time, and looked at her with shining eyes.

Mo Yi couldn't help but laugh in his heart, in previous years, it was Mo Wen who received this treatment.

As soon as she walked away, everyone immediately gathered their heads together and asked Wang: "Did Yi Yi say anything about her?"

"Hey, I have a distant nephew who is very promising..."

"Go and call Jing'er in quickly to greet his second aunt!" This is to let Wang Shi see...

It's really a family of women seeking help from hundreds of families...

In this atmosphere, Wang looked at Mo Yi again and found him much more pleasing to the eye.

She was smart enough to neither refuse nor respond to other people's inquiries. She was no match for Liang You, but she had to be prepared. What if...

Mo Yi got together with those sisters who were in a roundabout way, and she found that girls are different when they grow up. In the past, they would talk about flowers, snacks, clothes, rouge, the plays they watched, the new sisters-in-law they married, etc.

Now, whenever she talks to her, she always asks about Mo Wen.

They were all shy and timid, but they all grasped the key points.

I can't help but sigh, how come you think more than I do?

On the way home, Wang was excited and uneasy because of everyone's excitement. She told Mo Ruhai that she wanted to take a detour to her sister's house.

Mo Ruhai was shocked when he heard this. What? I was wasting the whole morning just to avoid them, and now they are sending me to their door?

Crazy!

Seeing that Wang was serious, he got out of the car directly: Madam, please go by yourself, I will stroll home.

Mo Yi understood what his mother was going to do and reminded her quietly, "Mom, my aunt has her parents-in-law and there will be many guests during the New Year. If we go there without telling her, I'm afraid it would be rude..."

Wang glared at her again: "We are sisters, what are you afraid of?"

When we arrived at the Qin family's house, there were indeed quite a few guests, and a mess of carriages and horses at the door.

Wang also felt that it was not appropriate for her to go in, and was about to leave when she was seen by the doorman: "Is the concubine here?" He came forward to greet her.

When Wang Xiujuan heard the maid say her sister was coming, she was worried that something urgent had happened. But she had just welcomed an important guest in, so it was not convenient for her to leave immediately.

He signaled to the maid to lead her to his room first, and asked her to call her eldest granddaughter Qin Yuanniang over.

Qin Yuanniang was a chubby little girl, "Little aunt, second aunt, third aunt!"

Mo Yi smiled and pulled her, "Is Yuanniang being good?"

"Good boy!" Yuanniang took the purse made by Mo Yi, which was filled with pine nut candy. She held her aunt's hands and kept talking.

After staying in the house for a while, Wang Xiujuan came over and asked, "You didn't go home this morning? Why are you here now? Is there something going on?"

Wang was a little embarrassed: "I couldn't get there this morning, and I couldn't let it go, so I came to visit my sister. I hope I didn't disturb you?"

"There are guests at home today, and you don't know them. How about I take you over to chat?"

"No, no, I'm not going. I was just wondering if my sister has met Mrs. Liang these two days?" Wang asked in a low voice.

After Mo Yi and Mo Qing paid their respects to Wang Xiujuan, they used a handkerchief to teach Yuan Jieer how to fold a mouse.

But the two Wang sisters usually spoke in loud voices and did not try to hide it, so they heard it.

"On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, I went to the Liang family to pay my respects to them and congratulate Liang You!"

Wang glanced at Mo Yi and her throat tightened.

"Oh, the front door of the Liang family, there are so many people coming in and out! I feel dizzy just looking at it. Mrs. Liang got some free time, so we talked alone for a while. She said that the door threshold was broken by the matchmakers. Last time I told you... Mrs. Liang brought her niece over. When I went there, the old lady even introduced her to me! That girl..."

Wang Xiujuan thought about it and said, "She looks like a lady from a noble family. It's just that Liang You is not living at home now, otherwise this is not a big deal! The way this old lady Liang behaves is really... I can't do it!"

"Hmph! What a lady from a noble family, she becomes as greedy as a wolf when she sees profit!" Wang was indignant.

Mo Yi thought to himself: It is true.

"But I see that Mrs. Liang doesn't like that girl! Think about it, if you marry your son to his stepmother's niece, how will they get along in the future?"

Wang nodded quickly, "Of course! It's because Old Lady Liang herself doesn't have a son, otherwise the Liang family would be in chaos! Liang You is the eldest son and the most outstanding. How could she want his marriage to be tied up with her step-grandmother's family? After all these years, haven't you had enough of that old woman?"

Wang Xiujuan patted her hands: "But let's say whatever we want. Although Mrs. Liang doesn't want the old lady's niece's granddaughter, but..." After a pause, "You also know, when I said it at the beginning..." She glanced at Mo Yi, changed her voice and said, "Mrs. Liang was a little hesitant, and it was Liang You who persuaded her to agree.

But the situation is different now. You don't know! Even Mrs. Liang's family came to the door. Now, just the close relatives of the family have mentioned seven or eight girls. Even so, I don't know what the Marquis's Mansion will think!"

Leaning back, Wang murmured, "It's over, it's over. It's definitely not going to work."

"Alas!" Wang Xiujuan also sighed: "These are nothing. What Mrs. Liang cares about most now is whether the Marquis's wife has any plans for this matter. If she does, then everyone else has to stand aside! We can't let his future be affected by the marriage."

Wang nodded helplessly.

"She said: If the Mo family is not in a hurry, then let's postpone the matter. Although we can't say it will definitely work in the future, if there are no obstacles from the Marquis's wife, she will definitely choose our Sister Yi first."

Wang was somewhat touched: "Now that things have come to this, we have nothing to choose from."

Wang Xiujuan also nodded: "Yes! It's not easy to say that!"

The two chatted for a while, and Wang was about to go and pay her respects to the old lady of the Qin family. Wang Xiujuan said, "There are too many people there now, let's talk about it when you come on the sixth day of the New Year!"

On the way back, Wang was displeased with Mo Yi again, "If you hadn't pissed me off last time, I might have chased your aunt and finalized the matter. Now it's great!"

Mo Yi lowered his head and said nothing.

"Think about it yourself. If I make you unhappy, what good can you do? Humph, you always run after your father... Can he find a good marriage for you? Really..."

Mo Yi gritted her teeth and coaxed, "You are my mother. Dad is my father. There are no outsiders between us. Your daughter is following you two!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Maybe it's just your destiny. What a waste of effort! Look at your sister. How happy the Xu family is!? Oh, Master Xu will be here tomorrow! I have to clean up when I go back... Fortunately, your uncle's business is done. When Master Xu comes tomorrow, keep an eye on Mo Yuan and don't let her do anything naughty!"

Mo Yi nodded helplessly.

"Mo Qing, you too... don't just watch the fun! You're already an adult!"

"Mom... why are you bringing up my daughter again?!" Mo Qing is not an obedient person.
