Chapter 64: Bad Intuition

From that day on, Wang and Mo Wen ignored Mo Yi again.

This might be a disaster! Mo Yi was in a state of confusion...

Mo Ruhai didn't know what was going on and came to ask, but Mo Yi didn't answer and started talking about business instead.

"Boss Zhang's contract expires in half a year, so let's just hold off for now. Shops are opening one after another these days. Find a middleman to introduce you to a shop, and then go to the shop you liked before and ask. If you find a suitable one, open two stalls.

Let Song Jiafu take care of the old stall and introduce the new shop to familiar customers. Song Jiaxing will keep an eye on the new place. It seems that he has practiced it almost well. You brought back a lot of finished products, plus what Li Qixin made, it should be able to pave the way for the new place!"

"Okay! Although Dad didn't show up at Boss Zhang's place, he asked Song Jiaxing to deliver the New Year's gift. He should..."

Mo Yi wrote down the conditions for the shop he wanted, Mo Ruhai took it, called Song Jiaxing and started running.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.

As soon as Mo Wen entered the door, he heard Wang say, "Qiuhong, go to the front to find the housekeeper and ask how the car for tomorrow is arranged. The road is long and there are some mountain roads. We need to check the car carefully to make sure it doesn't break down on the way. Also, keep the donkey well fed..."

Are they arranging a trip to Dajue Temple? I was so angry: So, after all the scolding, it was all in vain, and we still have to go?

Looking at the ground again, he saw two wicker boxes containing things Wang needed for her travels.

He thought to himself: I'm afraid I can't stop it now, right?

"Mother, are you making arrangements for the trip to Dajue Temple?" She pretended nothing had happened and asked curiously.

Wang nodded: "Yes! Your aunt still can't go! Alas, I still want her to be my backbone!"

"Mother, I want to go with you and my sister too!"

"Wenwen, why don't you just stay home and prepare your dowry." Wang was a little embarrassed. "Your aunt won't go, and your father won't go either. Just let mother take that damn girl to deal with it!"

"Mom! I've been packing these days, and I'm tired and annoyed. Besides, the Xu family's matter has been settled, and I want to burn some incense and thank the Buddha. And... Mom, I really care about my sister! I want to help and cheer her on!"

"Yeah. You really should go and burn some incense. But... I'm worried about what happened before. Mrs. Liang might feel uncomfortable seeing you again."

"How could it be, mother? The two families didn't say it clearly at the beginning, it was just us mother and daughter who discussed it secretly. Even my aunt may not know much, let alone Mrs. Liang! When my daughter enters the Xu family in the future, Mrs. Liang will definitely want to maintain a good relationship! If Liang You wants to have a smooth life, he must have the support of noble people!"

"Oh Wenwen, you are so thoughtful! Well, I think... maybe that little girl still has hope of success!"

"What's the matter?" Mo Wen looked at his mother with his beautiful eyes.

"If it doesn't work, there won't be a trip tomorrow."

Mo Wen breathed a sigh of relief: What kind of reason is that? ! But she didn't refute it, and nodded directly: "It's true!"

"Your father said last time: The Jing'an Marquis's Mansion is in decline, and to prop up the door, we must choose a capable person. Liang You has the title of a scholar, and he has practiced martial arts for many years. How many people can be so talented in both literature and martial arts? If he inherits the title, I'm afraid... even the Marquis's wife will have to listen to him carefully and win him over!"

It’s better not to…Mo Wen’s real thoughts.

"Come on, then you can go with me tomorrow!"

Seeing Qiuhong coming back, Wang instructed her again: "Go to the fifth lady's room and ask her to dress up nicely tomorrow!" She was afraid of that maid and was afraid that if she called her, she would be angry again.

Early the next morning, Mo Yi was dressed up.

The dress was still the torn one, and on her head she wore a peony flower hairpin carved from hibiscus stone.

When I got to my mother's room, I saw my father was there too.

Neither of the couple spoke, but looked at Mo Yi carefully. After a long while, Wang nodded carelessly: "It's okay!"

Mo Ruhai was full of admiration and was very dissatisfied with his wife's attitude: "How can you say it's just okay? Yi Yi is so pretty! Young girls are so fresh and natural!

Rolling her eyes at her husband in dissatisfaction, Wang looked at Mo Yi's head and asked in confusion, "What's that on your head?"

"I brought them back last time. You all have them too, right?" Mo Ruhai was very calm.

"Why don't I remember having one? Don't you always have a private room and favor her?"

Mo Ruhai sneered: "She is my most beloved daughter, so what's wrong with being partial to her? You are not partial? What Wenwen has, does Yiyi also have? You have to argue about a few copper coins!?"

"You!" Wang was surprised. "Oh, what did I say? You just interrupted me like that? You're amazing!"

When Mo Yi saw that Wang was being stubborn again, she hurried over and said, "Mother, your hairpins are a little asymmetrical!" She went over and helped her adjust them.

Wang was also dressed up carefully today, so she shifted her attention and stopped arguing with her husband.

"Why don't you wear a gold earring in your ear?"

Mo Yi said: "The gold earrings don't match the clothes and the hairpin on the head!"

"You are the only one who has so many things to do!" Wang looked at him again and went into the inner room.

"Dad has something to do today, so I can't spare the time to accompany you. You have to take care of yourself. If Liang You doesn't work out, Dad will find you a better one! Don't put yourself too hard..."

"Yes, Daddy!"

Mo Ruhai gave a few more instructions and left.

Wang came out and said to Mo Yi, "Mrs. Liang likes girls who are generous and love to laugh. You are too dull on weekdays! You can't get anything out of a fart even if you kick three times. Today, you have to say a few more words no matter what.

Also, you should be more proud in front of other girls. They are good, and we are not bad... In front of the Marquis's wife, you should smile more, be more polite, and don't talk too much! "

Sometimes he asked me to talk more, sometimes he asked me to talk less. What's going on? Mo Yi nodded helplessly.

Wang was still chattering: "If you have a chance, talk to Liang You in private, you, just do this..." She raised her eyebrows and squinted her eyes uncomfortably, and actually taught Mo Yi according to her so-called experience.

Then he opened the small box in his hand and said, "These Dongzhu earrings..."

He held it in Mo Yi's ear and gestured: "Put it on, and your face will be brightened immediately. I wonder how those girls dress up, they must be all dressed up very flashy."

"Although I can't compare to your sister, don't let others compare me too much! The hairpin on your head, although novel, is not a valuable thing. This Dongzhu earring was given by your aunt on your mother's birthday. It's not bad! I've never worn it once!"

"It's different when you wear it like this! I'm lending it to you, so you have to return it to me when you come back! Don't lose it, do you hear me?!"

She pulled Mo Yi's ear, and Mo Yi hissed, then quickly touched his ear and replied, "I heard it."

"Hey, what's that on your wrist?"

It is made of small round quartz beads and colorful silk threads. It matches the jewelry on the head and the clothes very well. It should not be expensive, but it looks... really beautiful!

"My daughter made this up herself," Mo Yi fooled her.

"You made it up? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"It's my first time wearing..."

"Humph! It seems that you really have a lot of hidden secrets! You can make this up, but you don't even know how to make one for your mother. You have no filial piety at all. You still have sisters! Your elder sister knows how to take care of you, but you don't even think of her when you have good things! I've never seen someone as selfish as you!"

Oh, she never stops talking...

Mo Yi couldn't help but regret, why did I wear this thing?

I could only explain: "Mother, the beads are very common, but I put a lot of thought into weaving them. They are really worthless... You and sister don't like them."

"Hmph! Look at how little you have accomplished! You're still in a hurry to explain. Are you just afraid of what I might do?"

As soon as the curtain was opened, Mo Wen appeared.

She is going too, dressed as if she is going out?

It really came true!

Look at her hair and face again. Well, she has dressed up specially!

She is taller than me, better looking than me, and dresses more elegantly than me.

As soon as the two of them walked in, let alone the Marquis's wife... anyone who saw her would not be able to see themselves!

Really good...

"Sister, I'll go with you and cheer you on!" Mo Wen smiled.

Mo Yi thought to himself: Is he going to cause trouble?!

Xiao Xiao didn't intend to respond, but Mo Wen insisted: "Huh? Mo Yi, you don't mean to disapprove of your sister, do you?"

It's true: I treat you as a fool, but I still make you admit it.

Mo Yi looked at her calmly: "It was my mother who took me out. It's not my decision whether to welcome or not. But... my sister is so radiant. If the Marquis' wife makes a mistake and wants to marry my sister on the spot, I'm afraid it will be a joke."

If you don't make the point clear, you will just keep talking nonsense!

Mo Wen was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that this damn girl would dare to challenge her for her marriage.

"Mo Yi, what nonsense are you talking about? I tell you: your sister married into the Xu family, which is also your capital. When she heard about the Xu family... the Marquis's wife would also give some face. Humph, let those girls who go there see that the Mo family is small, so what? The girls are all good! With your sister, I guarantee that those others will be beaten into the mud!"

What else is there to say?

Resigned to their fate, they picked up the wicker basket and went out with their two children.

The family car had to accommodate people and boxes. The space was limited, so only the mother, daughter and Qiuhong went.

The person driving the car was Qiuhong's elder brother.

Along the way, Wang kept talking to Mo Wen about the dowry.

Mo Yi didn't say anything, but leaned against the carriage. As the car swayed and bumped, he became drowsy and sleepy. It was terrible to deliver something to someone's doorstep, but end up with no control over it.

My intuition: Today is not going well!

The journey is not short, but fortunately it is not difficult.

We took a break in a teahouse on the way, and it took more than an hour to reach Dajue Temple.

Qiuhong had just helped Wang get out of the car when a familiar voice came:

"Second sister-in-law..."
