Chapter 248 There is no reason for a girl not to get married

Upon hearing this, Mo Hanyue sat back down next to her mother.

"What does mother want to say to Hanyue?"

Old Madam Mo looked at her daughter who was becoming more and more beautiful, and reached out to touch her soft hair.

"My dear Hanyue is becoming more and more beautiful."

Being praised by her mother, Mo Hanyue said coquettishly and embarrassedly: "My mother gave birth to a good daughter, so naturally my daughter is beautiful."

Madam Mo embraced her daughter lovingly and said softly, "Mother, I remember when we were in the capital, Xun Gui, who came to propose marriage to Hanyue, was able to get through the Mo family's doorstep. At that time, mother always thought that Hanyue was still young, and wanted to help you choose carefully. Who knew that our Mo family would suffer such an unexpected disaster, which has delayed your marriage."

When Mo Hanyue heard her mother mention her marriage, her face turned red with shame, and a figure suddenly flashed in her mind.

The man was elegant and handsome, with a sense of righteousness. His extraordinary bearing was incomparable to those noble young men in the capital.

Mo Hanyue didn't know why Meng Huaining appeared in her mind, and her heart was beating faster and faster.

In order to hide her embarrassment, Mo Hanyue deliberately leaned her head on her mother's shoulder, trying her best to prevent her from seeing her appearance.

"Mom, Hanyue will never marry and will stay at home to serve you for the rest of her life."

Madam Mo laughed: "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? It's not logical for a girl not to get married."

Mo Hanyue pouted and acted coquettishly: "Mom, Hanyue wants to be with you all the time."

Madam Mo patted Mo Hanyue on the back, and her tone became a little more serious.

"Mother thinks Lord Meng is a good person. What do you think?"

After hearing Lord Meng's words, Mo Hanyue's heart, which had just calmed down, began to beat wildly again.

She buried her head in Madam Mo's arms: "Mother...how can you ask me, a girl, about this kind of thing?"

Hearing her daughter say this, there was nothing that Mrs. Mo didn't understand.

This simple daughter of mine also likes Lord Meng very much.

Now that she knew her daughter's thoughts, Madam Mo was not anxious. As she said, in this kind of matter, she had to wait for the man to take the initiative.

As for the final result, it all depends on the fate of these two people.

While several grown men were chatting in the room, He Zhiran took the women to the kitchen to prepare cold rabbit.

At this time, the rabbit meat is fresh, and the cold rabbit tastes better.

Meng Huaining came to the Mo family mainly for the purpose of seeing more of Mo Hanyue. However, it seemed that the girl was deliberately avoiding him today and she didn't show up at all.

In fact, Mo Hanyue is not a lazy person. In the past, when her sisters-in-law were busy, she would help them.

But today, with Meng Huaining here, she was too embarrassed to go out, and spent the entire afternoon staying in her room reading the book on Chinese herbal medicine given to her by her Ninth Sister-in-law.

It was not until dinner that Mo Hanyue put down the book and walked out of the room.

At present, the conditions of the Mo family are limited. When eating, both men and women are in the main house, but they do not sit at the same table.

Mo Hanyue thought about it and deliberately sat farther away from the man's table to avoid embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, the carefree second sister-in-law insisted on pulling her to sit next to her, and her seat was closest to the man's table.

Mo Hanyue wanted to refuse, but her sisters-in-law were quick and the other seats were filled one after another, so she had no choice but to sit next to her second sister-in-law.

Needless to say, the dishes for dinner were all carefully arranged by He Zhiran, and the most important thing was the cold rabbit that everyone had been thinking about for a long time.

Meng Huaining usually likes the food of the Mo family the most, but today he was always thinking about Mo Hanyue and seemed a little absent-minded while eating.

Seeing him like this, others didn't know what was going on, but the careful Mrs. Mo had a rough idea.

While drinking tea after dinner, Madam Mo deliberately did not leave, but asked questions casually.

"If I remember correctly, Lord Meng should have two older brothers?"

Old Madam Mo knew a little about the Meng family's situation. After all, Meng Huaining's parents were about the same age as her, and they both served as officials in the capital a few years ago, so she was not unfamiliar with them.

When Madam Mo asked the question, Meng Huaining, who was always generous and efficient, became a little nervous, as if he was meeting his future mother-in-law.

"Madam, you can just call me Huaining. No need to be so polite. I do have two older brothers, and they are currently back home taking care of their parents."

Old Madam Mo was also straightforward. She looked at Meng Huaining as if he were her junior, and only called him Lord Meng out of politeness.

"In that case, I will call you by your first name from now on."

After a pause, Madam Mo continued to ask, "Your brother has already been married, right?"

Meng Huaining replied respectfully, "My two brothers have already been married under the arrangement of our parents, and are now fathers."

Madam Mo sighed, "Time really is merciless. I met your two brothers when I was in the capital. They were just teenagers then, and now they're both fathers."

When Meng Huaining heard Madam Mo mention his brother, he hoped that she would also ask about his situation so that he would have a chance to express his attitude.

But after waiting for a long time, Madam Mo didn't ask.

If it were other matters, Meng Huaining was not the type to drag his feet, he would have said it out frankly long ago.

But when it came to his lifelong event, he was still timid.

Unfortunately, after finally having the opportunity to communicate with the elders of the Mo family, he didn't say a single key word...

Madam Mo also noticed that this boy was still a little hesitant about his lifelong affairs. She had already taken the initiative to give him the opportunity to mention it, but he didn't say anything.

In this case, the relationship between him and Mo Hanyue can only depend on fate.

After all, he was a guest and it was already late, so Meng Huaining naturally had no reason to stay any longer. After drinking a cup of tea, he reluctantly said goodbye.

The women worked until late at night and finally made all the 100 rabbits into cold-cooked rabbits. The next morning, they packed them with oil paper and Mo Jiuye planned to send them directly to Tang Mingrui.

As it happened every time, as soon as everyone put the cold rabbit on the mule cart, Tang Mingrui came with gifts.

Tang Mingxin also accompanied him this time.

Because the little girl used the ointment given by He Zhiran, there was no scar left on her face after having chickenpox, and she still looked playful.

Seeing Tang Mingrui, Mo Jiuye knew that he didn't need to run this time.

He first let Tang Mingrui into the main house, and then told him about the large amount of cold rabbit he had made last night.

Tang Mingrui came here purely to pay New Year's greetings, but he didn't expect there would be such a big surprise on this trip.

For a future big businessman, nothing is more important than business.

He immediately left the girl behind and ran to check out the cold-cooked rabbits, eager to take them to the city and make a fortune.

When Mo Hanyue saw that there was a little guest coming to her home, she took the initiative to take her to her place to play.
