Chapter 4: Climbing the High Branch
In the main house, Wang's mother and daughter had a brief moment of peace.
Xu Ke was someone Mo Wen met when she went out with her aunt for a social event.
Her original plan was to go out and see if there were any better opportunities.
If not...there is still the Liang family.
But unexpectedly, I met him. The distant nephew of the Jiang family, Xu Ke.
The first time she saw him, Mo Wen was stunned because she had never seen such a man before... He was handsome, had a cold temperament, and was dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking very proud and unparalleled.
When they met, he just glanced at each other politely without saying anything.
The girls at the scene all blushed and wanted to look at him, but they didn't dare... they were so flustered that they lost their composure.
When he left, he seemed to glance at her. God knows, her legs were weak despite her efforts to remain calm.
When we met again, he actually took the initiative to talk to me.
Although it was just a polite remark, his expression and voice almost made me break down.
Moreover, when he left this time, he actually looked back at me again...
Those eyes like stars and that enchanting smile.
She lost her appetite for days and was haunted by his presence. Just like that, she fell hopelessly in love with him.
I actually had a thought: If I can't marry this person in this life, my life will be miserable.
She stubbornly went to trouble her mother, and her mother went to trouble her aunt.
When my aunt heard this, she thought they were joking because it was impossible. Finally, she was pushed by her mother and had to go and test it out.
I know this is against the rules and people will laugh at me for being wishful thinking...
But she didn't care about anything!
"Mother...how could my daughter have such a good life?" Mo Wen trembled slightly with excitement.
"My Wenwen... has married into a rich family! She's going to marry into a big house in Houhai, West City!" Wang's voice was choked with sobs and her eyes were moist.
Houhai is the noble district of Beijing, filled with large mansions.
When she was in her boudoir, Wang also passed by there several times in a sedan chair. Every time, she would lift the curtain and look for a long time!
The road is smooth and clean, and there is plenty of room for two carriages to pass each other!
The locust trees on both sides have branches that form long shades.
In May, the locust flowers are in full bloom, full of fragrance.
Neat gray walls, vermilion lacquered gates, and giant stone lions.
It was quiet, with only the sound of passing carriages. Moreover, they were all very magnificent carriages.
The male servant who followed him rode a horse, showing off his power.
The maids and old women wore silk and satin and wore gold and silver hairpins.
None of them look people in the eye!
Which woman of marriageable age would not want to marry into a family like this?
Thinking of all the beautiful dreams she had…Now, her daughter is going to realize her dreams for her! How can she not be excited?
The dark-lined almond-shaped eyes were shy and she straightened her back.
"Now, we have so many things to prepare! The old man and the old lady of the Xu family are still here! Uncles, aunts, sisters-in-law, aunts-in-law... it's not easy to maintain them. Especially that old lady, the daughter of the Huainan Jiang family! A big family with hundreds of years of history, how much private property must she have! If she likes you, in the future... right!?" Wang winked.
"You are beautiful and capable. If you can please the elders and bring benefits to our family... then Master Xu will like you even more!"
This is what Mo Wen loves to hear, but she is also very shy: "Mom! What are you talking about!"
"Isn't this just saying whatever comes to mind? You have to remember what mother said! After the New Year, I have to find you a nanny to teach you the rules. Although the Liang family you chose before has better life than the Mo family, you can still handle it well. But now..."
Wang stiffened her neck and shook her head: "That's different! There are many rules in a wealthy family! Maybe you will enter the palace in the future! You can't make any mistakes!"
She is shrewd and calculating.
But she was illiterate, and the atmosphere in her mother's home also limited her horizons.
His thinking is illogical and he often acts on his own accord. He is also very talkative and speaks very fast.
It's common to go off topic while talking.
"Mr. Xu's grandfather, father, and elder brother are all capable, so he doesn't need to work so hard. But they are all scholars! You will definitely become a lady of the imperial family! When the time comes, don't forget to support your brothers."
"Mom! You're getting further and further away!"
Wang laughed so hard that her eyes could not be seen. After a while, she felt a little regretful.
"Ah! Actually... Liang You is a pretty good young man! Over the past few years, I have really liked him more and more. If it weren't for Mr. Xu being so outstanding... I would have made no mistake in marrying Liang You! Oh... I really don't want to let him go!"
“Mom, if you can’t bear to part with it, just tell Mo Yi!”
At this moment, Mo Wen is full of pride and satisfaction, with a heart full of happiness that he has no where to put. He only wishes for world peace.
So, she blurted out this sentence...
"Ah!?" Wang was stunned. She really didn't expect this!
Mo Wen saw this and smiled sweetly, "My sister is already over 15. Normally, it's time for her to find a marriage. We live close to each other, so it's normal for us to find one together. You always forget that the Mo family has split up, and she should be the next in line after my daughter!"
"Oh, why didn't I think of it! My dear daughter, you are really smart!" Wang raised her voice and clapped her hands.
"How many things do you have to do every day? How can you remember everything?" Mo Wen responded casually, but his heart was full of Master Xu's eyes and smile.
"Oh my god, if this could come true, I would wake up laughing in my dreams! Wenwen really acts like a sister and knows how to support her younger sisters..."
"But..." Wang thought about it and became a little discouraged: "It's not easy to be afraid. Although it has never been said openly... but, it was you who originally married Liang You! Changing someone else... respectable families don't like this!"
"Moreover, Mo Yi is far inferior to you in every aspect! How could the Liang family be happy about that?" Wang shook her head. This was a difficult matter.
Mo Wen twirled the ends of her hair with her fingers and advised with a smile: "Mother, marriage is supposed to be a marriage of two good people, it's both willing! We've proposed it, and if the other party doesn't want to, we can find another one for my sister."
She didn't say: If the girl's family takes the initiative to propose marriage, it will lose face first.
If I get rejected again, no matter how tightly I keep it a secret, the news might leak out.
The girl's reputation will definitely be affected.
"That's true..." Wang was convinced, "Then tomorrow, I'll go back and ask your aunt!? It doesn't matter whether it works or not!"
"Hmm..." Mo Wen responded.
Suddenly, Wang leaned forward and whispered in Mo Wen's ear: "Don't tell anyone about these two things! Your third aunt is the most shameless! She might be jealous of your marriage!
She is a person with a vicious heart, a cruel hand, a foul mouth, and is disgusting. If you bring up Mo Yi again, hum… Mo Yuan is more powerful than Mo Yi. If you ignore her, Liu Shi will definitely have no end in sight!"
Mo Wen recovered after hearing this, but didn't take it seriously: "Humph! Why is it so endless? It has nothing to do with the third house at all. The Mo family has been divided for a long time. I can call Mo Yuan my fourth sister, or I can call her: cousin Yuan!
It’s just that the Mo family is poor, so they can just live together for now. Sooner or later, they will have to separate. Aunt San can find any kind of husband for Mo Yuan, go ahead! No one can stop her!"
Mo Wen's tone was frivolous and full of disdain.
"That being said, I'm not afraid of trouble. Mother has so many things to do every day! Who is like Liu, who does nothing all day long, either watching the main house or watching us!"
Mo Wen straightened her neck and said coldly: "Mother, if my daughter enters the Xu family, she will not invite them to come. So, from now on, you have to be cold! Save trouble!"
"Isn't it?! In the future, you will make friends with noble ladies and young ladies!" Wang sneered again: "A good marriage like yours will be hard for Liu Sujin to find!"
Currently I may update twice a day, if I am not in time I will update once.
It will be stable and updated twice a day when we test the waters.
