Chapter 60 Flattery
The next day, Xu Ke came to wish Mo family a happy new year.
Early in the morning, Mojia cleaned the house again. There were four pots of daffodils in full bloom in the living room, and the whole house was fragrant.
Mo Rushan also asked Zhuang to prepare a sumptuous lunch, hoping to invite his noble son-in-law to have lunch.
Early in the morning, Wang called all the family members together and looked at them one by one.
Mo Ruhai was dressed up today, wearing a navy blue robe, steady and elegant. His hair and beard were neatly trimmed, making him look several years younger.
The jade they wear around their waists...is their own product!
"It's so beautiful!" Mo Yi asked in a low voice: "Dad, are you going to keep it for yourself?"
"Dad, take care of it carefully and don't keep it for yourself. You have to sell it to make money!" Mo Ruhai said with a hint of cunning.
Mo Yi smiled.
Wang was most concerned about the ink patterns, so she didn't pay attention to what her husband wore around his waist.
"Daughter, you look beautiful today too! You've really grown into a big girl..." Mo Ruhai was filled with emotion and praised Mo Yi sincerely.
Today, Mo Yi didn't want her mother to find fault with her, so she dressed carefully from head to toe.
However, it cannot be too out of the circle to avoid misunderstanding. The main focus should be on the image of many stars supporting Mo Wen.
Look at Mo Wen... She is wearing a purple-red wide-sleeved spring shirt, and the hair accessories on her head and the shoes on her feet echo each other, making the whole person look bright and elegant.
That jewelry is new. I've never seen her wear it before...
I couldn't help but laugh secretly: I'm overthinking it. The sharpness of the ink pattern is not easy to suppress!
My sister-in-law came today, too. She sat there quietly, looking a little unhappy. I don't know if she's still feeling unwell or if it's something else.
Then she saw Mo Qing leaning closely beside her, his eyes sparkling, and occasionally biting her ear.
Mo Yi laughed again. It seemed that Mo Qing said something to her.
Wang looked at her eldest daughter with satisfaction, then looked at Mo Da. He was handsome to begin with, and with the bright blue spring shirt, he looked very high-spirited...
"Da Ge'er is really awesome today!"
Mo Yi nodded, his elder brother was indeed impressive.
However, Moda was annoyed by his mother: "Mother, you have to remember to be moderate! My sister's marriage has been decided, and you are the future mother-in-law. You have to be a little bit polite..." He paused and didn't continue.
The next sentence of my brother should be: "Don't talk too much", right? Mo Yi laughed secretly...
Although he was embarrassed to say the second half of the sentence, this was really what Moda meant!
Hearing this, Mo Wen realized that he had only thought about Xu Lang and dressing up, and had forgotten to tell his mother. When his mother...
But Wang didn't agree. She stiffened her neck and said, "I, your mother, have a good attitude!" She straightened her back.
She looked in the mirror and saw that her outfit today was no different from that of a noble lady.
The family arrived in front.
Mo Rushan and Mo Rushong were already in the living room, dressed neatly. The three brothers standing in a row didn't look like they would embarrass Mo Wen...
Today, Liu didn't come out. She listened to Mo Yuan's words and started to work. Her daughter's dowry was limited, so she made some exquisite items so that they could be presented as gifts.
Having guessed how Mo Wen would dress, Mo Yuan sang a different tune, going for an "orchid in the valley" style to contrast with Mo Wen.
When the two people met, they looked at each other and felt competitive and unwilling to admit defeat. The friendship that had just been established two days ago was overturned.
The family waited in the living room, hiding the tension by chatting.
When the two cars arrived at the door of the Mo family, the gatekeeper immediately informed everyone inside, and Mo Da and Mo Fan went out to greet them.
Parked in front was a shiny black and very impressive carriage. When the curtain was lifted, Master Xu got out.
Seeing him, Mo Da was a little stunned. He always felt good about himself. He was also known as the "Mexican handsome man" in Xishan College.
But the Master Xu in front of him crushed him very easily... I heard from my mother that Xu Ke was very handsome, but I didn't expect him to be so handsome.
On the contrary, Mo Fan was surprised for a moment and then reacted and poked him. Mo Da then stepped forward and saluted: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Xu? "
Xu Ke quickly returned the greeting: "I am Xu Ke!"
Tsk, this action... is indescribably elegant and graceful.
After calming down, Mo Da said, "I am Mo Wen's elder brother, Mo Da. This is my cousin Mo Fan! Happy New Year, Master Xu!"
Mo Fan also smiled and saluted: "Happy New Year, Master Xu!"
Although Xu Ke described her beautifully, his smile was very sincere: "Happy New Year! Brother, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Ruqing..."
After a few pleasantries at the door, he was invited into the front living room.
As soon as the three of them entered, the Mo family fell silent. They all stared at the man in front of them in amazement...
Tall and straight figure.
Her skin was as white as jade, her eyebrows were as long as scissors, her eyes were as bright as stars, and there was a faint smile on the corners of her mouth.
He was dressed elegantly and had graceful manners.
Although he is the descendant of a civil servant, he has the noble airs of a young master from an aristocratic family.
...In everyone's eyes, Moda was considered a leader, but when he stood next to Xu Ke, he actually looked a little thin and pale.
Tsk tsk, this is our son-in-law? The three brothers looked at each other, a little bit unbelieving.
Mo Da's expression was complicated, "Uncle, father, third uncle, this is Master Xu!"
Xu Ke stepped forward and bowed: "Junior Xu Ke, I pay my respects to uncle and aunt Mo, and wish everyone a happy new year!" He bowed deeply.
"Mr. Xu, please stop being so polite!" Mo Rushan reacted and nodded with a smile.
This young son-in-law was the first time Mo Ruhai had seen him. He had heard his wife praise his good looks countless times, but he had never expected him to be so outstanding!
He was also a little excited, his voice trembling: "Madam, please introduce your family members to Mr. Xu."
This is Wang’s highlight moment.
Such a good son-in-law was found by her for her daughter! This unprecedented satisfaction made her head shake slightly, and the pearl hairpins and gems she wore sparkled.
"Master Xu..." Wang said in a pretentious tone.
Xu Ke said quickly: "Aunt Mo, please call me Ruqing!"
Seeing him being so open, Wang was even happier and said, "Okay! Ruqing, let me introduce you. This is Wenwen's uncle and aunt!"
Xu Ke bowed with a smile.
When they met for the first time, Mo Rushan carefully selected a fan as a gift.
Xu Ke took it with both hands, thanked him softly, and turned to hand it to the servant beside him.
Next is Mo Ruhai.
Xu Ke's expression became even more respectful.
Mo Ruhai immediately fell in love with this handsome son-in-law. In excitement, he took off the jade pendant from his waist... which he had originally planned to sell after showing off. He also took a special look at Mo Yi.
Mo Yi knew his father too well. When he saw him looking at him, he smiled and nodded. Although he felt a little distressed, when he saw the piece on Xu Ke's waist... uh... he still couldn't compare to others.
My third uncle gave me a set of Xuan brushes.
Pointing at Mo Da, Wang introduced him with some pride: "Just now, you two met outside. This is Mo Da, Wen Wen's brother. He is studying at Xishan College and will take the autumn exam soon."
Xu Ke said to Mo Da: "I had originally planned to try for the autumn examination, although my master said that I was not yet ready... But some time ago, I got a job in the Imperial Army, so I'm afraid I have to give up writing and join the army!" His tone was cheerful.
This time, even Wang was a little surprised.
Mo Rushan sighed: "You have already won the title of scholar at such a young age. It's a pity not to continue to take the exam. But joining the Imperial Guard is also a rare opportunity. If you can go smoothly, your promotion speed will be much faster than taking the exam to become an official!"
To be honest, he is a family with a good foundation, so all roads lead to good outcomes!
Xu Ke smiled and said nothing.
"It's a pity that I can't end up like this with Ruqing. But I admire your decision..." Moda likes this future brother-in-law very much.
"Actually..." Xu Ke smiled bitterly, "It's because half a year ago, I joined the Ninth Prince's horse team. I had to practice every day and fell behind in my studies. I was scolded by my teacher and wanted to pick it up again, but I found that... my mind was not as focused as before. So I simply changed my path. Compared to Brother Mo, my will is obviously not strong enough."
The way he spoke was humorous and free and easy. He was not shy at all and was very pleasant.
When Mo Fan was introduced, he smiled brightly. When he heard about polo, he envied Xu Ke from the bottom of his heart.
But in Mo Yi's opinion, his second brother's smile seemed a little silly.
Next, it was the turn of the fiancée to meet each other. Xu Ke looked at Mo Wen very seriously. Her face was slightly red, her eyes were bright, and she was extremely beautiful.
Xu Ke bowed solemnly, "Ms. Mo, Happy New Year!"
Mo Wen returned the greeting: "Master Xu!"
The two looked at each other and their faces turned red.
Then, Wang pointed at Mo Yi, Mo Yuan and Mo Qing casually and said, "They are Wen Wen's sisters!"
Xu Ke smiled and saluted. Although her eyes were straight, she didn't seem to be looking seriously. "Hello, sisters!"
Wang and Mo Wen were both very satisfied with his appearance. They were both targeting Mo Yuan in their hearts: What's the point of you dressing like this?
When everyone met, they started chatting.
As soon as Mo Rushan made the opening remarks, Wang began her performance. She praised Xu Ke openly and secretly, and used all kinds of compliments to praise him without asking for anything in return.
Flattery is irresistible...
