Chapter 137 Then and Now
These days were the most fulfilling period in Mo Yi's life.
I go out early and come back late every day.
Wang had a lot to say, but she didn't have the chance to ask.
Song Jiafu and his friends have moved to a new place, each with their own room. The two brothers finally don't have to share a bed at night!
There is a kitchen and toilet in the yard, which is not far from the shop.
Li Qi now had a separate room for working and no longer had to dust his bed before going to bed.
The daughter-in-law of the Song family moved in with her children and lived in the back seat. She also hired a maid to take care of the daily life of several people. Now, she can take care of the children and cook at home, and also get a monthly salary.
After the marriage was granted, Mo Yi discussed with her father and wrote a letter to Song Jiayou in her hometown, telling him all the news in the capital.
Some time ago, Song Jiayou replied to the letter, saying that he had promoted the Mohist landlord and that his niece was going to marry into the royal palace, and the news was spread everywhere.
Those people who had tried to buy land from the landlord but failed and always came to make trouble have become quiet recently.
But the above-mentioned annexation is still going on...
As the shop was about to open, the Song brothers put on brand new blue shirts, black shoes and white socks, shaved their beards clean, combed their hair neatly, and looked very energetic.
There were old customers coming to show their support, and Mo Yi had prepared small gifts in advance so that they could take them when they came.
Everyone was in the store and at the door, chatting and laughing, it was lively and bustling.
The business was good as it opened on the same day and we didn’t have to maintain it.
The Song brothers also learned their lesson and were polite but distant to other shop assistants. They were diligent but not too attentive. They didn't touch anything involving money and kept a close eye on their own money.
You can tell at first glance that he is an experienced guy.
Having come this far, Mo Yi was very satisfied and looked even more radiant...
Mo Yuan was puzzled. What was wrong with this girl? Was she doing business with what she was doing?
He was extremely anxious, but fearing that Mo Yi would be angry, he did not dare to ask.
How could this "informer" feel so embarrassed...
Mo Yi was full of confidence. At Nanny Zhao's place, several maids served him every day by making tea and snacks in different ways.
His subordinates are very productive.
Mo Ruhai took some and asked a master to process them outside, and found some that suited his taste. Now, Li Qi didn't have to rush to finish the work.
The father and daughter decided to observe for a while. If the business continued to be so good, they would call back Song Jiayou, who had been working outside for many years and was responsible for purchasing goods. That would be different!
Everything was arranged firmly, and Mo Yi was quite tired.
Nanny Zhao saw through it and asked her to rest at home for two days.
The weather is good, the sun is out after the rain. Mo Yi is trimming flowers and plants in the newly moved yard. She is brewing tea under the porch, enjoying this rare leisure time!
"Fifth Miss..." A soft and timid voice came from the courtyard gate.
She turned around and saw, "Auntie Yun?!"
The person who came was Aunt Yun who lived in the next yard.
After Aunt Yun entered the Mo family, Liu had also tortured her for a while. Liu had heard and seen all these tricks at her mother's home.
Even she and her aunt had experienced it and hated it.
Liu was very familiar with the method and felt very happy when she used it to deal with others.
At that time, it was not uncommon for the dragon slayer to become the dragon himself.
Mo Rushong sometimes tried to stop him, but sometimes he was helpless.
However, no matter how much fun Liu had, she could not reach the two boys.
There is a mountain of ink protecting him.
The older one is seven years old now and goes to school with Mobao.
Mo Rushan also hopes that there will be a few more children who are good at studying in his family.
Especially now, when the Mohist School is on the rise, having promising children becomes even more important.
Seeing that her son was fine, Aunt Yun could bear it no longer.
Later, only good things happened at home, and Mo Yi became successful and was willing to take Mo Yuan with him.
Liu was very happy and spent the whole day making things for her daughter so that she could give them as gifts when she went out to socialize. She no longer wanted to cause trouble for Aunt Yun.
Aunt Yun's life was better now, but she didn't leave the hospital on weekdays.
Even if there was a raging fire in front of her, it couldn't affect her.
"Auntie Yun wants to see me for something?"
Aunt Yun was a little nervous and said in a low voice: "The emperor has granted the marriage, and Aunt Yun hasn't found a chance to congratulate the young lady yet!"
"Thank you, Auntie."
"The fifth girl is beautiful and kind-hearted, so she deserves this good marriage."
Mo Yi smiled and said, "Auntie, have a cup of tea."
"I don't dare to trouble Miss Fifth. I'm here... It's like this: Miss, look, these are some of the handicrafts I make every day, including handkerchiefs, purses, headbands, socks, etc."
Mo Yi took it and looked at it carefully: "Wow, Aunt Yun did a beautiful job. The shape, color matching, stitching, everything is good!"
"If the girl likes them, these are for you."
"My aunt worked so hard to make this, how can I take it?"
"This is just something I do to kill time, it's nothing..."
"Aunt, do you have anything to ask of me?"
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Miss Fifth... I wonder if your dowry, wedding dress, wedding invitations, etc. have been prepared. Do you want my help?"
"I don't have to make my wedding dress and veil myself. Aunt Zhao said they can be custom made."
"Oh... Well, I wonder if there are any embroidery shops in the capital that would accept these handicrafts. I really can't go out, and I don't want to trouble you, Master."
"Auntie, are you short of money?"
"No, no, no! One is that I'm always idle and anxious. Another is that when my mother's family was in trouble, Third Master saved me without even wearing shoes. I didn't even have a dowry. Following Third Master, although I don't have to worry about food and drink, I also have to think about my sons. The third house is the weakest, and they are all illegitimate. In the future, they will go to school, take exams, and start a family. At least, I have to do my best."
"I admire your kindness, Auntie."
In fact, Aunt Yun had always left a good impression on Mo Yi. It was said that she was desperate at the time, and Uncle San wanted to repay her kindness, so she had no choice but to do this.
Usually he is honest and never makes trouble. He also thinks about his son...
Just like Third Aunt, she is also very good at needlework.
But before that, she made a lot of noise and refused to work every day.
"I've been out a lot lately, so I'll ask for you if I get a chance... Auntie is so good at sewing, and these little things can be used in many places. You can do them when you have nothing to do, there will always be a way out."
Aunt Yun was happy, "Thank you, young lady."
…
Mother Song came in quietly with a smile on her face.
"My lady, it's done!"
"really?"
"Isn't it?" Mother Song came closer and said mysteriously, "Butler Wan is a handsome man with a lot of knowledge. In recent years, the head butler has not been in charge of things much, and he is the one who takes care of everything in and outside the mansion! He must have made a lot of money. He dresses decently when he goes out for social events, and he always goes to high-end restaurants, and everyone treats him like a master!
Such an outstanding person actually married the sickly girl from Mrs. Zhao's family, who was so ugly. The toad really ate the swan meat!
If Steward Wan had not been implicated by his family, he would have been a high-ranking official now, with a beautiful wife and concubines, how glorious! But now, he has to sleep in the same bed with such an ugly and old woman. He also has to have children with her... He must have been disgusted over the years!
Humph, you don’t even dare to take a concubine... Your Majesty, do you think this is a good thing?
In the mansion, I don't know how many maids are looking forward to his wife dying and marrying her as his successor! "
Mother Song spoke with a vicious look on her face, just wanting to indulge in her own nonsense.
You can't tell at all how miserable her life was when she was at her husband's house: she was dragged by her hair and beaten in the street by her husband, and she was abused in various ways by her mother-in-law.
It really is a different time now...
Concubine Feng supported her chin with her hand, but she enjoyed listening very much.
"Your cousin is really not exaggerating, she does a great job. That girl... I, an old woman, am attracted to her every time I see her! She has fair skin and a beautiful face, and a slim figure. Oh my... Which man can resist her charm? She is comparable to the previous one!"
She was talking about the late Princess Zhou.
Concubine Feng's eyes flickered and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"I heard that he is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Isn't that exactly what Butler Wan wants? He obviously took it very seriously. He rented a yard and moved him in. For three whole days! He didn't have a room... He was always shaky when he came out, and Yoyo... he was completely drained!"
Mother Song laughed evilly.
"You haven't been home for three days, and I don't know what to say to your sick and ugly wife at home? Humph! You are a useless dog man..."
"Well. That's good! Now, it's just the beginning..." Concubine Feng said coldly.
Aunt Zhao, if you knew what I did, would you regret it?
