Mo Shaoli wore the clothes Mo Shaowan sent yesterday to Jiashan Hall to greet Mrs. Mo, sat down and listened to Mrs. Mo and Wu say a few words of housework, then stood up and was about to leave.

Old Madam Mo suddenly spoke: "Xue, I heard that you made two sets of clothes for the seventh girl?" ”

Mo Shaoli stopped her movements when she heard this, because she was related to herself, and she didn't know what her intention was when she suddenly mentioned this matter, so she sat back again.

Xue replied softly with a smile on his face: "Wan'er went to Fengyi Garden to see the seven girls yesterday, and she brought two sets of clothes. ”

Old Lady Mo's voice sank: "Third daughter-in-law, this is your fault!" The seventh girl doesn't have many opportunities to go out in filial piety, and it's a waste to wear too many clothes, so she didn't make another autumn outfit this year. Why are you so messy? Do you think I've treated the seven girls badly? Or are you dissatisfied with your sister-in-law's family? ”

As soon as she said a word, Jiashan Hall suddenly became quiet.

Mo Shaoli was also stunned when she heard it, after she came back, she had several confrontations with Mrs. Mo, and Mrs. Mo obviously hated her so much, but she was able to hide it all the time, which made her look up to her a little higher, and felt that the old lady's combat power had risen, which made her have to deal with it more carefully.

Why did the old lady's tricks suddenly become simple and crude today?

In fact, Mo Shaoli didn't know.

There are reasons why Mrs. Mo has been forgiving her these days, one is because Mo Jun is no longer on her side as before, and she doesn't want to get too stiff with Mo Jun; What's more, she was still thinking about what Mo Shaoli was doing, and she didn't want to tear her face with Feng Yiyuan and end up empty.

And she is like this to the Xue family today, but there is another reason.

This is a bit of a long story.

Although the third wife, Xue, was born in a small family in Jiangzhou, she was a serious scholarly lady.

When Mo San's old man Mo tamed Zhongju and was a Shuji scholar in the Hanlin Academy, he and Xue Sheng, a fellow scholar from Jiangzhou, gradually became close friends from acquaintance. Xue Sheng saw that Mo was well-behaved, handsome, and from a family, so he had the heart of marrying and personally came forward to be a matchmaker for his sister.

Mo Ta lost his biological mother since he was a child, Old Lady Mo took care of him, and Old Lady Mo was a shallow person, and felt that it was already very tolerant and generous to let the concubine live and have books to read, where can I talk about any care. After such a long time, Mo Ta has developed an assertive temperament since he was a child. He knew that as a concubine, most of the marriage would be decided by Mrs. Mo, and with Mrs. Mo's attitude towards him on weekdays, I was afraid that he would not get any good marriage.

He already admired Xue Sheng as a person, thinking that Xue Sheng was the matchmaker and his sister-in-law, so naturally he would not be bad, so he happily responded. and quietly followed Xue Sheng to Jiangzhou with Old Lady Mo behind his back and visited Xue's family in person.

After returning from Jiangzhou, Mo Taan asked Old Lady Mo to go to the Xue family to propose marriage.

For Old Lady Mo, although Mo Tao is a concubine, he is also his son, so he naturally hopes that he can get married. He heard that Xue was the first daughter of the scholarly family and the younger sister of Mo Taming, so he happily went.

By the time Mrs. Mo knew about this family affair, the two families had already exchanged Geng posts.

Seeing that Mrs. Mo and her concubine had secretly decided on their own family affairs behind their backs, Mrs. Mo angrily dropped two teacups in a row and was sick in bed for three days. But it didn't help, after all, the Xue family was not impeccable, and she couldn't find a reason to quit. At the suggestion of Old Lady Mo, she had to swallow her anger and arrange the marriage for Mo Taming.

Old Mrs. Mo gave birth to several sons herself. When the eldest son Mo Jiao was asked by his mother-in-law to marry the daughter of the Wu family of the Zhuji family, she was originally very proud, thinking that after marrying the Wu family, not only Mo Jiao could get the help of the Wu family in his career, but the Wu family could also bring a rich dowry when he entered the door. But who knew that although the Wu family was the daughter of the Wu family, she was despised and disliked at home because of her ugly appearance, and not only did she not bring much dowry when she got married, but Mo Jun did not get any benefit from the Wu family over the years.

The second son, Mo Xiao, met Huang by chance during an outing, and did everything possible to hook up. But it wasn't until the Huang family had a big belly that the Huang family came to the door that Mrs. Mo knew that he had caused such a big thing outside. Although Huang's father is only a small official in charge of horses in the Royal Forest Garden, the Huang family also has a few relatives who are officials in the court, and of course they will not agree to their daughter as a concubine. The Mo family was troubled, so they had to welcome the Huang family. The Huang family is already poor, and the Huang family has many brothers, so naturally there is no dowry.

At that time, the Mo Mansion was in financial constraints, and Mrs. Mo originally hoped to rely on her son to marry a few good in-laws, but she didn't expect to be more troublesome than one another. At that time, she didn't know that a few years later, her fourth son Mo Jun would be ordered by the Queen Mother to be the lord, and the career of the Mo family's children would be ruined.

Compared with her sons, the concubine Mo Tame has a good family. The Xue family is not only a scholarly family, but also the only young lady in the family. The Xue family loved their daughter, and the Xue family brought eighty dowries when they started. The long dowry list made Mrs. Mo itch her teeth, and when the Xue family gave her daughter-in-law tea, she gave her a big face.

Because the Xue family is the daughter-in-law of the concubine and doesn't care about the family, Mrs. Mo naturally can't find any reason or excuse to ask her for a silver dowry. And although the Xue family looks gentle, it is actually soft and firm, and Mrs. Mo's treatment of Hui'an is useless to her at all. For more than ten years, Old Lady Mo has not obtained any benefits in the hands of the Xue family.

Now she sees that the Xue family refuses to be filial to her, but she took good materials to Mo Shaoli to spoil it, how can she bear this breath!

That's why I will seize the opportunity to attack the Xue family today.

"Daughter-in-law doesn't dare!" Xue Shi hurriedly stood up and replied, "Those two clothes were made for Wan'er before, but they were carelessly stored at the bottom of the box by the maid. I found it when I was looking for materials two days ago, and Wan'er couldn't wear it after trying it. The daughter-in-law thought that it would be in vain, so she asked Wan'er to take it to Qiqi. ”

"She is a child's house, and she is in filial piety, where can she wear a lot of clothes, and she doesn't have to waste materials." Old Lady Mo's face became more and more difficult to look at, who is this fooling? It's obviously a freshly made garment!

"Yes, my daughter-in-law wrote it down." Xue replied with lowered eyes.

Could it be that the third aunt has to get your consent to give away her own things? This old lady is too much!

Mo Shaoli couldn't listen to it anymore, and besides, the Xue family was pulled out by Mrs. Mo to make a raft because of her.

She was about to stand up and defend the Xue family for a few words, but she heard Mo Shaowan cough lightly.

Mo Shaoli looked at her, and saw that Mo Shaowan winked at her with a handkerchief, and waved his hand quietly.

Then I heard Xue Shi say to Mrs. Mo: "The daughter-in-law invited someone to measure the size of the wedding room today, so that she could start making dowry furniture, and at this time the person was already waiting outside, and the daughter-in-law wanted to explain a few words to her." If the mother has nothing else to do, the daughter-in-law will retire first. ”

Old Lady Mo didn't want to let go of the Xue family like this, and planned to take this opportunity to dig something out of the Xue family. She hides so many good things, but she doesn't honor herself!

But she didn't expect that the Xue family would call the name of Cheng Enbo, although she didn't know the truth of what Xue said was true, but she didn't dare to risk offending Cheng Enbo's mansion to detain the Xue family here, so she had to snort.

Xue ignored the expressions of the Wu family and the Huang family sitting on the side watching the show, calmly stood up and retreated, and when he was about to walk to the door, the eldest grandmother He suddenly said: "Third aunt, I heard that Mrs. Chengen Bo Shizi is the eldest daughter of the Yang family, and her temperament is the most pungent and aggressive, and the second sister should not be bullied by her after marrying into the Bofu!" ”

Xue's body paused slightly, but he didn't stop under his feet, opened the curtain and walked out.

He is the daughter of He Youdao, the secretary of the ministry, although she is a concubine, it is said that she is also from a noble family, but this upbringing...... Is it true that the big house is only looking at the door?

Mo Shaoli sneered in his heart, raised his eyes to look at He, and also stood up and left.

After leaving Jiashan Hall, she saw that the Xue family was not far in front, and she was about to catch up and speak, but she didn't want her sleeves to be pulled from behind: "Mo Qi!" Hold it! ”

Mo Shaoli stopped, turned around and looked at Mo Shaoqi helplessly: "Sixth sister!" ”

"What are you doing so fast, I have something to say to you!"
