Chapter 59 Another Turn
After returning home, Wang went directly to Mo Wen's room.
In the bedroom, clothes and shoes for tomorrow's outfit are hung, and on the table are matching jewelry. Mo Wen just took a bath, and Du Juan is applying oil to her hair...
The whole person was moist and hydrated. Wang looked at it carefully and praised: "This dress and jewelry are well matched! My Wenwen does everything properly!"
After returning home with peace of mind, not long after, Wang Wenjuan unexpectedly came to the Mo family again. And she looked excited: "What a coincidence! Just as you left, Mrs. Liang came! You two came one after the other!"
Seeing her sister's expression, Wang's heart was beating wildly, and she hurriedly asked, "What did you say?"
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Wang Xiujuan sat down to take a breath, "It's like this: Liang You, tell Madam Hou that he's going to get engaged to the Mo family!"
"Ah?! Really?! Oh my God! What did the Marquis' wife say?" Wang felt like she was going to faint.
"The Marquis's wife said: Although she had feelings for Mo Jia, their horoscopes were not compatible. The engagement letter and tokens were not exchanged. It is still a long way from a real engagement! Now that Liang You has entered the Marquis's mansion, she has to make the decision on the marriage!
However, since Liang You mentioned it, she couldn't be too rude. So she made a concession: Let's meet at Dajue Temple on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. There are also a few other families who are interested, including the niece of Mrs. Liang's mother's family. It's just right, let's meet them together then!"
Wang rubbed her hands nervously: "Then... Sister, what do you think we should do about this?"
"What should we do? Go!"
"But I'm afraid the Marquis' wife won't like Mo Yi!" Wang had no confidence in her daughter.
"What you said is funny! There is only one Liang You, and there are eight or nine girls who went to see him. Of course there will be some who don't like him! Even the niece of Mrs. Liang went, and the daughter of a third-rank official didn't care. What about Mo Yi? Is she the only one who cares about face?"
Wang nodded quickly: "Sister is right, I will ask her to prepare clothes and jewelry and dress up!"
"Well. It's up to you! If I'm free that day, I'll go with you!"
"Sister, you'd better go..."
"In my opinion..." Wang Xiujuan leaned close to her sister and said mysteriously, "Liang You, you really like that girl Mo Yi. Otherwise, this matter would not have been brought to the attention of the Marquis' wife. And... it seems that Liang You has a good chance of inheriting the title. Otherwise, how could a Marquis' wife, who is not even old enough, have the time to travel so far to see her?"
"Really?!" Wang felt uneasy and anxious.
In fact, Wang Xiujuan was also anxious. If she wanted to marry into the Marquis's Mansion, the Qin family would have to respect her even more!
She thought for a moment and then gave another hint: "... When a wealthy family sees a girl, they don't just bring her up to see her directly. Generally speaking, they have a conversation, ask some questions, give her some toys, and let the girls get together and have some fun. Maybe there will even be a talent show or something like that. The marquis' wife will be watching from the side. There are many aspects that can tell whether a girl is good or bad."
"Oh, but Mo Yi doesn't know anything! She's no match for Wen Wen!"
Wang Xiujuan was also worried. "Then be honest and don't pretend. If it works, that's the best. If not, I've done my best."
"Oh!" At this moment, Wang regretted that she had neglected Mo Yi too much.
As soon as Wang Xiujuan left, Wang asked the maid to call her husband and daughters.
Mo Wen was the first to arrive. Wang told her what happened and then asked, "Wen Wen, think about what talent you can help Mo Yi learn these days. Don't let the other girl be able to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, while she is the only one who is stupid!"
Why isn't it over yet?
Mo Wen was a little annoyed!
She said impatiently, "Mother, my daughter's piano is only good enough after hiring a master and practicing hard for years. If I could learn it in a few days, would it still be called a talent? I don't know how to become a talent quickly!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Ruhai brought Mo Yi in. Wang saw that the father and daughter were probably talking together again.
I don’t know where those words came from!
After glaring at Mo Yi, he said, "This is another chance my sister has given her. Whether it will succeed or not depends on her!"
Mo Ruhai's face turned bad after hearing this. "What kind of talk is this? Why does it sound like a talent show? What is Liang You doing? Daughter, what do you think?"
Mo Wen snorted in his heart. Ask her? She will definitely say yes!
Although Mo Yi had not experienced anything, she was naturally cautious. When her father asked, she said, "Father, mother, I think... if it weren't for the previous incident, it wouldn't be a big deal if I went with everyone.
Now, the Marquis's wife already knows about it, but she still wants to use this method, which means she does not approve of it.
There were many girls from respectable families who went there that day. Perhaps there was one that the Marquis’ wife had her eye on. If she is not chosen, then... my daughter will be more embarrassed than other girls.”
Before Wang could say anything, Mo Wen nodded directly: "My daughter thinks so too. Obviously, the two families have almost reached an agreement, but now she has to be selected with everyone else. It will be shameful for those who are selected or not!"
This time, Mo Ruhai actually nodded: "Yeah, that makes sense."
When Wang heard this, she was furious because she trusted her sister the most.
My sister said we should go, so we should go!
Especially...her husband's opposition made her rebellious.
"What are you thinking? The Marquis's wife invited you to go, and you don't even bother to give her face? Who do you think you are?
Even Mrs. Liang, who usually boasts of her noble birth and puts on airs! I went to the Liang family several times, but she didn't want to see me. But now, seeing the benefits, isn't she also coming out to fight for it? If she hadn't been the first to come out and make trouble, we wouldn't have reached this point!
So many girls from respectable families are going there, how can you be so shameless? Just go! We are all going there for the good, who is laughing at whom? ! "
Wang stiffened her neck and spoke more and more reasonably!
Mo Wen was so angry that he thought to himself: Didn’t you say that day that this matter was over?
Mo Yi looked at his father and said nothing.
"...Besides, if it weren't for what happened before, they might not have invited you! Humph! If they don't like you, we won't be the ones to break our promise! If they like you... this silly girl, maybe she can really become a marquis' wife!"
Then, Wang said with a smile: "Master! You, Da Ge'er, and our Bao'er, maybe... you have to rely on this silly girl!"
She talked to herself, feeling that the bright future was already before her eyes...
After hearing this, Mo Wen's face turned red with anger.
But Mo Ruhai actually listened to him this time! He nodded and said, "What the madam said makes sense. Mo Yi, just listen to your mother. Let's go!"
Mo Yi felt amused. He didn't know which of his words pleased his father. He changed his mind so quickly!
"Alright, alright! It's settled. Don't be so petty! Don't forget that Liang You personally sent gifts to our family! It's different from other families! I've watched that young man for many years... He has a good character and will never change his mind."
Mo Wen's face was red and couldn't be turned off. He secretly blamed his mother for saying anything. He didn't change his mind... What about me?
Just at this moment, Mo Yi glanced at Mo Wen, which made her even more angry.
"No, she has to buy some clothes... Oh, it's the middle of the year, how many shops are open? Wenwen, do you have suitable clothes to buy two for your sister? Both of you, go back and look for them, and bring the clothes to me. If it doesn't work... go and ask your aunt... Go quickly, don't dawdle."
Mo Wen sat still, smiling but not smiling, and said, "Fifth sister, dress up nicely and beat those others!"
Mo Yi had no choice but to get up and go back to his room. Mo Ruhai chased him out: "Yi Yi, don't listen to your mother. Just dress a little neatly according to our family background. But you can't borrow clothes or jewelry... If it gets out, people will laugh at you."
"Dad is right. I think so too."
Mo Ruhai was worried again: "It's my fault... I couldn't even buy you a few pieces of jewelry. Dad knows that the girls of those families can't afford a piece of jewelry even with our family's annual expenses. I guess... the Marquis's taste is also very high!"
"Dad! This matter has to be explained in different ways. The fact that Madam Hou can make the decision to support the children of the Liang family shows that she is a capable head of the family. She personally went to Dajue Temple to see Brother Liang You, which shows that she cares about Brother Liang You very much. How can she decide Brother Liang You's marriage based on a piece of clothing or a piece of jewelry?"
"That being said... my daughter! This is your chance to rise to the top. It is an opportunity that your family cannot give you. Your mother does have some jewelry, but... "
"Dad, didn't you just say that we should dress according to our family background? If I wear something expensive, my daughter will be afraid of losing it or damaging it. Then she will be timid and cowardly. Isn't that petty?"
Mo Ruhai knew his daughter was right. He stopped and felt powerless. Maybe his wife was right to scold him.
As soon as they left the house, Mo Wen started arguing with Wang: "Mom! Your idea is really not a good one!"
"What are you talking about?!" Wang didn't want to hear it!
"That's right! Our daughter is not a commodity in the market, put there for people to pick and choose! If the Xu family knew about this, what would they think of their daughter? When they were engaged to their daughter, they were very solemn!
How come when you come to the Liang family, you look down on the Mo family so much? Not to mention that Liang You is not a marquis yet, even if he is, we can't belittle ourselves!"
"Wenwen!" Wang hurriedly stopped him, "Oh, don't speak so harshly! At this point, what else do you have to do? If you go, you still have a chance. If you don't go, you will have nothing.
Don't worry, the Xu family won't ask about these things. Besides, if Mo Yi's matter is really successful, the Xu family will pay special attention to you! "Wang smiled again!
These words really hit Mo Wen in the chest: "I don't need it!" He stood up and walked out.
"You kid! Hurry up and find two pieces of clothes for your sister!"
Wang shouted towards the background of Mo Wen...
Let’s meet at Dajue Temple! Who else is there?
