Chapter 187 Between Sisters
In Mo Yi's original room, several girls from the Mo family looked at her curiously.
Mo Yi was so scared, "Sisters, why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's the princess, she was granted a first-rank imperial edict. She is the first one from our Mo family to receive an imperial edict. My father said that it must be recorded in the family tree!" said Mo Hong, the eldest sister of the Mo family, with a smile.
"All the men in our Mo family have benefited from the fifth sister... Fifth sister, when you are stable, you can also think about your brother-in-law." Mo Xin's husband is a scholar.
Mo Yi nodded happily and agreed: "I will definitely think of my family when I get better. But don't be anxious. To be honest, there are too many good things happening at home. There are so many families in the capital, but it's rare to hear of someone who can soar to the sky. Just now on the road, the prince said that if my uncle gets promoted to the next level, it will be different. Slowly, everyone will get better."
Both elder sisters nodded.
Mo Yuan came closer and asked, "Everything is okay after entering the mansion?"
"It's all fine. I'm just tired these past few days and can't even open my eyes."
"Is the palace beautiful? When can we visit?"
Mo Yi knew that this was unavoidable. "There are no elders in the mansion, so I can make my own arrangements. As long as the prince has not made any arrangements, I can invite you over at any time. I think we can arrange one during the Chinese New Year. I'll let you know in advance when it's decided."
"Fifth sister is so nice!"
"We might go and broaden our horizons!"
Mo Wen felt a little embarrassed when she thought that she had been married for two or three months and still hadn't invited her sisters to visit. Everyone might have thought of it, but today, no one went to spoil the fun.
Since the situation at home started to improve, Mo Hong and Mo Xin's life at their husband's house has also been much better.
After getting Mo Yi's consent, he wanted to keep the sisters to talk, so he went out first.
Mo Yuan was more concerned about the practical side. After seeing them leave, she quickly asked, "How are things? Did the prince's concubines and concubines not cause any trouble?"
In fact, Mo Wen has been muttering about this in her heart. Although her husband has never been to Jinfang's place during this period, I'm afraid this will happen sooner or later. So she also looked at Mo Yi intently.
"Ah..." Knowing that Mo Yuan would ask this, "Everything is fine. We just came in and haven't touched each other yet. When we met, they were very polite."
"You better be careful!" Mo Yuan looked like she knew a lot. "I'm telling you, it won't be good for wives and concubines! They are polite now, that's because you just got married. Over time, that will be trouble. Hey, what do they look like?"
Looking at her beaming with joy, Mo Yi wondered why her expression looked like that of his mother?
"They are both good, especially Madam Xu who is talented and Madam Wu who is beautiful. Okay, okay, stop asking!" Mo Yi was impatient.
"Sister, how are the family affairs of the palace handled?" Mo Wen felt that this question was what a new bride should be most concerned about.
"Before entering the house, it was the concubine named Feng who was in charge. I heard that she followed Madam Zhao since she was a child!"
"Ouch!" Mo Yuan said exaggeratedly: "This, this is the most troublesome! Is it her relative? With the support of Aunt Zhao, it's a bit troublesome..."
Mo Yi shook his head: "I heard that he is a distant relative of the prince's eldest sister-in-law's mother's family. At that time, something happened in the family. He was brought into the mansion when he was ten years old and followed Zhao Ma to learn how to be a housekeeper."
"Mo Yi, this person is indeed troublesome." Mo Wen murmured.
Mo Yi nodded gently: "I just walked in. The prince meant for her to continue to be in charge."
"Ah? How can this be possible? You are the princess!?"
"I came in hastily. It's a huge palace, and I met seven or eight stewards in the back alone. There are also people in the front study... Even if you ask me to take charge, I'm afraid I won't be able to manage it for a while."
"As long as the prince is willing, what does it matter whether he manages it well or badly?" Mo Yuan was dissatisfied.
Mo Wen shook his head, "Don't listen to Mo Yuan, it's not like that."
Mo Yi nodded: "Yes. Besides, I have a lot of things to do, and I will be busy during the New Year. After the New Year, I will open a shop."
"Is this what you planned a few days ago?" Mo Yuan asked.
Mo Wen really didn't know as much as Mo Yuan, "What does it do?"
"They are the purses I wear on a daily basis, as well as some accessories. It is located below the Qizhen Building. When it opens, I will take you there to have a look."
"Well, I've given away all the six purses you gave me last time. Not to mention, all the girls in my family like them. When the shop opens, I'll buy some things to give away to show my support for you!" Mo Wen said as he thought.
Mo Yuan was unwilling to spend this money. "If you need help, just call me. I don't have any money... but you can tell Zhang Debao and ask him to buy it..." After that, she laughed.
Mo Yi and Mo Wen both frowned at her, but they were too lazy to say anything to her today.
"Okay, I have something else to do, you guys go to the dining room first."
"What's going on? It's so mysterious..." Although Mo Yuan was unhappy, she still pulled Mo Wen away.
Mo Yi arrived at Yun Niang's courtyard. Yun Niang had been waiting for her, "Meet the Princess!"
"Let me take a look." Mo Yi smiled.
Yunniang took out a few samples and said, "These were sent by the Ji sisters. Take a look... just here, I have some ideas..." Yunniang chattered to her for a while.
Mo Yi looked at it and nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say. No one noticed when I delivered something to you?"
"I told the Third Master that I would help you with some work."
"What did Third Uncle say?"
"..." Yunniang smiled bitterly, "He asked..."
Mo Yi understood, "You must be asking me if I have promised you any benefits, right?"
"Your Highness is smart." Yun Niang shook her head. "You don't have to worry about him. In fact, I can see what kind of person he is. It's because he has two elder brothers to look after him, and it's because he hasn't become successful yet. Otherwise, the Third Master would be so arrogant, and the Third Madam... My life wouldn't be good either. Sometimes, I really wish I could be like the Ji sisters, not worry about anything, and just work for money."
"Then don't worry about your son!"
"There are the eldest master and the second master, and you...they two can't be any different. Yunniang has heard about the stories of the eldest master and the third master. What a bright future they have!" Yunniang got excited just thinking about it and was extremely envious.
"This person is really insatiable! I was so happy when Hao went to school. Now that Bao went to the Imperial College, I am so envious..."
"It's human nature... Mo Bao's studies are indeed solid. If Hao Ge'er can be like him, I will definitely help him in the future."
"Thank you, madam!" Yun Niang never thought that her own son would end up in such a situation. "Madam, I really hope to work in the store. If I hadn't done this job for you, I would have been trapped in this yard for the rest of my life. I would not be willing to accept it."
Mo Yi looked at Yunniang. She had a pretty face, spoke softly, and had her own ideas. She should be a female manager. But...why would her family let her show her face? It would be good if she could go to the south yard to manage the work of the women in the Ji family. The Song family had his wife, who could do odd jobs. She couldn't handle that job.
"You're already doing pretty well! Take your time..."
"Princess, it's time to eat!" Mo Yuan called her at the gate of the courtyard.
When Mo Yi arrived, the men in the family had already sat Li Jing in the main seat.
Judging from Li Jing's expression... it seems okay. After spending the past few days together, she has come to know him a little bit. He is not an easy-going and easy-going person...
Mo Yi didn't move towards them and just sat in his original position.
Zhuang looked at the six girls from the Mo family... they were all very generous now!
Only Mo Qing was still so uneasy, and would have to remind Wang Shi later. She was so unruly, did she still want to go to the palace?
"Your Highness!" Liu smiled and said, "Later, ask Yuanyuan to visit the palace. Let her see your life and broaden her horizons."
"Don't worry, Third Aunt, I've already talked to Fourth Sister about it." Mo Yi replied calmly.
Liu was satisfied. She glanced at Mo Wen, then turned back to glance at Xu Ke, "Come to think of it, Wen Wen has been married for so long... I don't even know where the Xu family's door will open!"
As it happened, there was only a hollow carved screen between the men's and women's tables, and Liu and Xu Ke were not far away from each other, sitting back to back. The young man had good hearing, so he heard it but didn't say anything.
Wang and Mo Wen were anxious, fearing that Liu would say something unpleasant next and make Xu Ke angry.
But Mo Wen himself didn't know how to respond, and he didn't want Wang to speak because he didn't know what the old lady would say.
Mo Yi understood, sighed in his heart, and said softly: "Aunt, there are two mothers-in-law in my family. Especially Madam Xu is old. If we go there, we will worry about being rude if we don't pay our respects to both sides. If we meet, we are worried that the old lady will be tired. It's not like here. The prince has nothing to do, so we can go."
Mo Wen was filled with emotion and once again felt the meaning of sisterhood.
Wang also praised him for a rare moment: "Yes, Yi Yi always thinks things through very carefully!"
Xu Ke drank a glass of wine, and he felt really bad...
The Mo family's home cooking is pretty good. It's not that fancy, but it's fresh and fragrant. Salted fish and braised pork, steamed ham, stewed beans, fried bamboo shoots, and stewed lotus root with pig's feet. Every dish is fragrant.
Lard residue and scallion pancakes, and fried pork buns, are quite authentic.
Especially towards Mo Fan and Mo Bao, one is a big eater and the other is a foodie. The two of them ate with gusto from beginning to end.
Looking at their expressions, Li Jing ate two more bites of food with his chopsticks.
After the meal, he got up and said goodbye.
When leaving, Xu Ke said to Mo Wen, "There will be a New Year's party at home this year. Please invite your sisters-in-law and sisters to come over and have fun."
For a moment, the surprise in Mo Wen's eyes when he looked at Xu Ke burned his cold heart...
