Chapter 166: Three Days Return
When I returned to my courtyard, Xu Ke had not come back yet.
Mo Wen didn't ask, nor did he pay attention to the noise Jinfang made in the yard.
When I first entered the house, there was a lot to do: put the dowry in order. The gifts were almost filling up the whole room, and they had to be stored and registered.
And the banknote I just received...
When I opened it, I almost laughed out loud.
She handed it to Du Juan and said, "Keep it well!" She would never give it to Xu Ke.
Busy with the maids.
I ate lunch in my room. I didn’t want to stop and think about anything else, so I didn’t even take a nap.
It was not until the evening that Xu Ke came back.
The two of them just exchanged a few polite words and said nothing else.
I changed my clothes and went to the back to have dinner with my family.
The Xu family had no habit of setting rules for their daughters-in-law, so they just asked her to sit down and eat.
Aunt Xu also specially introduced the delicious meals cooked by the Xu family.
The dining hall is spacious and bright, with many waiters, exquisite utensils, and the food is as exquisite as that in restaurants outside.
We ate in silence, no one talked.
Mother's boasting, Third Aunt's complaints, Uncle and Father clinking glasses and chatting, Mo Qing shouting while eating this and that, and Mo Yuan's soft whispers...
It's all in the past now. I felt sad and forced myself to eat something.
After dealing with it, when she returned to the house, she could no longer open her eyes.
After washing up and going to bed, I fell asleep immediately...
Xu Ke looked at her and breathed a sigh of relief. She was indeed easy to deal with.
In a blink of an eye, he saw the horse whip on the table and was overjoyed: "Madam, is this given to you by your grandmother?"
Mo Wen turned over and said, "Yes...my grandmother also gave me a bracelet awarded by the Queen Mother..."
After that, she fell asleep...
Xu Ke took the whip, tried it out, and felt very satisfied.
He turned around and looked at the person on the bed.
Even with a thin blanket on her body, her graceful curves could not be concealed.
Although the pressure from the princess exhausted him physically and mentally, he had no desire in the face of her beauty.
But he still gave a high degree of recognition to this wife.
The next day was the day to return home.
When I woke up in the morning, I first recognized the person in the room.
Jinfang looked at all the maids around the new wife: there was nothing outstanding about them.
She knelt at the front without hesitation, her eyes fixed on Xu Ke, as if she were a childhood friend of his.
After everyone finished the ceremony, they recognized everyone.
Mo Wen rewarded each of them with two taels of silver.
Important maids and servants received exquisite silver earrings. Jinfang was a concubine, so she also had a gold hairpin.
Jinfang took it and said thank you calmly, but her expression clearly showed that she didn't like it!
Mo Wen looked as if he understood everything, but didn't care to save Xu Ke's face.
She did have to give face to the maid given by the old lady. But with Madam Xu's words as a basis, if the problems accumulated enough, she would let her mother-in-law help her solve them.
Suddenly, she found herself, as if she had really come to her senses, and she had become the mistress of this courtyard.
After all, Xu Ke was a child of an aristocratic family, and he had been well-educated since childhood. He was a little dissatisfied: "Jinfang, you take the account of my private storehouse and give it to the young lady. Then open the storehouse..."
Then he turned to Mo Wen and said, "She was in charge of my private storehouse before, but now you can take it over. Mother and sister-in-law prepared the return gifts for today. Go to the storehouse and take a look. Add a few items as you like."
So far, he is very satisfied with his new wife's performance and is willing to be more generous to her.
"Yes. Thank you, husband." Mo Wen didn't bother to be polite with him and stood up with a smile.
Jinfang opened her mouth in disbelief, "But... Master..." She acted like a spoiled child and refused.
"Husband...how about that, why don't you discuss it with Jinfang again?" Mo Wen's tone was not unpleasant, but the content was quite harsh.
She is not made of clay!
Xu Ke looked at Jinfang with a sullen face.
Jinfang was startled and said quickly, "I dare not!"
"I don't dare to do it now!" This was the first time Xu Ke gave Jinfang a sour look.
Jinfang lowered her head and walked out, secretly resentful. It's quite powerful... Let's wait and see!
After tidying up, he went out.
Xu Ke was a little scared, and looked around when he went out, afraid of seeing the carriage that he recognized but had no trace of.
Fortunately, I didn’t come...
Princess Yu'an did not come. She had been in a state of distress for two days and suffered from insomnia, depression, irritability and she fell ill.
The Mohists were still jubilant.
A bunch of smiling faces welcome the newlyweds into the house.
Mo Yi looked at the bride, who seemed to have grown a year older in just two days.
The momentum is completely different from the past.
She had a standard smile and squinted eyes, and it was impossible to tell what her condition was.
When she is with her husband, she is neither intimate nor distant... They follow his every move and coordinate well with him.
In the past, whenever someone mentioned Xu Ke, Mo Wen would look happy and shy, but now that they are together, his emotions have calmed down...
Is it always like this?
"Mo Wen looks so beautiful today!" Mo Yuan said in her ear, "Look at her bracelet!"
Mo Yi took a look, wow! It was transparent and shiny. With the slender wrist, it was so beautiful!
Newcomers greet their elders. Mo Rushan has collected a lot of good books over the years. Those rare books, any one of them, may not be very valuable, but it is very presentable.
Mo Ruhai still gave away the one he had carefully selected before.
The newlyweds would give gifts to the younger ones, and the jewelry given to the three younger sisters was taken from Xu Ke’s warehouse.
It was taken with a vengeful mentality.
At this moment, seeing the three sisters holding it and looking at it, their eyes lit up. Mo Wen was proud, but also a little regretful for his impulsiveness...
After a while of excitement, the women left and the men talked in the living room.
"Wenwen, come to your mother's room first!" Wang hurriedly pulled Mo Wen away.
There were only the mother and daughter in the room. "How is it? Does your son-in-law treat you well?" Wang asked, her eyes turning red.
Seeing her mother's genuine concern, Mo Wen said, "He treats his daughter very well..."
"That's good, that's good! Mother has been thinking about you these days!" Wang's tears fell again.
At this moment, Mo Wen's emotions were also released, "Mom..." He couldn't help it and burst into tears.
"What's wrong, Wenwen?" Wang was worried.
"I...I just miss my mother!" She cried happily.
Not a word was said about that.
You and I chatted for a while, and then Liu came with her people.
"Big sister! What's the Xu family like? Is it big? Is it luxurious?" Mo Qing immediately ran to Mo Wentao, "Hey, why are you crying!"
"Who is as heartless as you!" Mo Wen scolded her, then answered: "It's quite big. There is a garden, and my own yard is not small either. There is a tree and a flower bed. However, I have only been there for two days, and I haven't been around the house. I have only been to the old lady and my mother-in-law, and the dining hall."
"Do we need to set rules every day?" Mo Yuan asked.
"It hasn't started yet. My grandmother and mother-in-law told me to settle down first. Dujuan and the others asked about it, and there are no rules in this regard."
"That's because the two ladies are so nice to you! Wenwen is just so likable!" Wang was very proud.
"Then when can we visit you?" Mo Qing remained excited.
"Wait for a while, you have to let me tell the difference between east, west, south and north!"
"Third sister, this bracelet is so beautiful! Is it a gift?" Mo Yuan asked.
"Yes, Wenwen, what gifts did you receive?" Wang and Liu were eager to know.
"Grandfather gave me 1,000 taels of silver, and grandmother bought me a jade hairpin!"
"Oh my God!" Wang exclaimed in amazement.
"My father-in-law gave me eight hundred taels, and my mother-in-law gave me a jade bracelet."
Amid the envy of the crowd, she raised her wrist and said, "Later, my grandmother kept me and talked to me alone. Maybe she was happy, so she gave me this bracelet... She said it was given by the late Empress Dowager. My grandmother has been wearing it for many years!"
"Oh, the old lady is so kind and generous! This thing is so good, your aunt doesn't even have it!" Wang touched it carefully, feeling happy from the bottom of her heart.
Mo Wen's eyes also sparkled, "Later, my mother-in-law also gave me a set of Dongzhu jewelry, saying it belonged to my grandmother. It's also very nice!"
"Now I feel relieved!" Wang was particularly relieved. "Most of us women get married and live with our mother-in-law. As long as the mother-in-law treats us well, life will be much easier! I just saw you standing with your son-in-law... I am so happy..."
She wiped her tears and said, "If you can live like this, then I will have no regrets..."
Mo Wen smiled bitterly, his eyes a little confused.
Mo Yi's heart moved, and then she found that Mo Yuan was stabbing her.
At lunch, Xu Ke saw that his mother-in-law and wife had red eyes, as if they had been crying. He was very nervous, just afraid that she would say something.
But then, when my mother-in-law saw him, she still loved him and tried to please him carefully as before, so I felt relieved again.
Mo Fan sat next to Xu Ke. Logically, since the two of them were of similar age and worked together, they should have a lot of topics to talk about.
But although Mo Fan spoke enthusiastically, Xu Ke responded indifferently and had no intention of continuing the conversation.
After dinner, the newlyweds left.
Mo Fan felt aggrieved and went to Mo Yi to complain: "...I don't know what's wrong with this brother-in-law. Whoever talks to him, he just responds to them and has no intention of having a real conversation. He took the initiative to marry into the Mo family. Who rushed him?"
Being able to make Mo Fan say such words...Mo Yi smiled bitterly.
"Don't even think about comparing yourself to Debao. Even if he is the prince... Although he is majestic, I don't mean to deal with him!"
"Really?!" Mo Yuan was eavesdropping and this jumped out, "I also think that they are not that good! Right, Mo Yi?!"
Mo Yi could also see that the newlyweds didn't look at each other much...
"It just feels a little bit awkward...but...is it always like this?"
"What?" Mo Yuan said disdainfully, "Have you forgotten when your elder brother and elder sister-in-law got married? When they recognized each other as relatives the next day, their faces turned red as soon as they looked at each other!"
It’s true!
Mo Yi couldn't figure it out either...
"Xue Wei's" has two words to say: Those who have read my books will find that it is difficult for me to create perfect characters.
Whether good or bad.
Because I don’t really like to differentiate between “good guys and bad guys.”
Sometimes, it's just a matter of looking at things from a different perspective.
Moreover, a person is composed of a rich personality, not a single pattern.
For example, Xu Ke: He fooled around with the princess and wanted to marry a wife as a decoration. He was just using Mo Wen from the beginning.
But he is not a man without any bottom line who indulges in drinking, gambling, whoring and beating his wife.
She will work hard and plan for her own future, and will not indulge her concubines to slap the wife in the face.
Cold-blooded, crazy, and arrogant, but not completely uneducated. (Liang Han in the drama "Do You Know?" is very full of personality.)
There is also Wang Shi, who is simple and rough. When it comes to treating Mo Yi, she doesn't bother at all and does whatever she wants. But she really loves Mo Wen.
Maybe I didn’t write the heroine Mo Yi too well, not only because of my lack of writing skills, but also because of some selfish motives… Maybe I hope that imperfect girls like us can also live a good life through hard work and opportunities (although I can’t accept the drama of a domineering president loving menopause)
