Chapter 81: Concubinage
"Madam, it's time to go and say hello to Mrs. Mo." Xiaocao reminded Jiang Wu while grooming her.
Jiang Wu nodded slightly, got up and walked towards the door.
She didn't pass through the door for a few days, and she left the house for two days because of the Jiang Mansion, so the number of times she asked Mrs. Mo for peace was also very rare.
Although Mo Zixuan said that he didn't have to care about these courtesies, if Mrs. Mo embarrassed her, he would protect her thoroughly.
But Jiang Wu knew in her heart that Mo Zixuan was not on good terms with Mrs. Mo, and she didn't want to add unnecessary trouble to him.
"Let's go."
As soon as he stepped into the door of the room half a step, he saw Mrs. Mo sitting high on the main seat, and she had received the communication of her subordinates, but as if she had not seen Jiang Wu, she was still drinking tea by herself.
Seeing that she deliberately ignored herself, Jiang Wu's expression did not fluctuate for a moment.
"Jiang Wu greets Mrs.
Jiang Wu said, half-squatting down and saluting Mrs. Mo.
Time passed minute by minute, but Mrs. Mo did not speak for a long time, allowing Jiang Wu to maintain a saluting posture.
Seeing that Jiang Wu was about to fall unsupportively, she slowly spoke.
"It turns out that my sister-in-law is here, come and sit down."
Jiang Wu stood up straight, showed a faint smile, and sat down beside Mrs. Mo quite naturally.
Looking at Jiang Wu's unhurried and impatient appearance, Mrs. Mo's heart sank.
This woman is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she is so calm and breathless, she will also be extremely difficult to deal with in the future.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Mo decided in her heart to kill her sharpness.
"It's been a few days since you married in Mofu, I can count the number of times I've seen you on one hand, it seems that you are quite busy on weekdays."
"It's my daughter-in-law, I was distracted by the affairs of Jiang's mansion a few days ago, and I lost my manners."
Mrs. Mo smiled slightly, and pretended to be tolerant and said: "I don't blame you, you don't have to go to your heart, it's just that you are married to Zixuan now, and you must pay more attention to him." ”
"Sister-in-law understands."
Looking at Jiang Wu's attitude of not being humble or arrogant, Mrs. Mo felt like a punch on cotton, which made her even more angry.
"That's right, to be the daughter-in-law of our Mofu, you have to be attentive to everything and considerate of your husband. This qin, chess, calligraphy and painting women's red thing must not be left behind, do you have an embroidered handkerchief, let me see? ”
A smile flashed in Mrs. Mo's eyes, she had also heard of Jiang Wu's skills, this Fuqin painting was extremely good, but this female red thing was lacking, and she must give her some color today.
"My sister-in-law's skills are not perfect, which makes my wife smile."
Having said that, Jiang Wu did not shy away from taking out what she had embroidered and putting it in front of Mrs. Mo.
Although her embroidery skills cannot reach the point of being superb, it is not impossible to get her hands on it.
However, if this Lady Mo sincerely finds fault with her, no matter what she does, it will be useless.
Sure enough, Mrs. Mo took the handkerchief and looked at it for a long time, and her eyes showed a little dissatisfaction.
"Sister-in-law, it's not me talking about you, your embroidery skills are really not very good, so not brilliant, and it will be a joke when it spreads in the future. I don't care about it these days, and I also see some of what you're doing. You should also find something to do in the house, even if it is good to practice more, and you should not be so idle. ”
The more Mrs. Mo's words became more and more ugly, and she sincerely wanted to give Jiang Wu a dismissal. She pretended to be relaxed and drank tea, but her eyes were fixed on Jiang Wu's expression.
Seeing that she was still able to sit so upright, without fear, Mrs. Mo's heart was even more unwilling.
"Madame misunderstood, the daughter-in-law is not idle all day long, before leaving the house, the daughter-in-law was also in charge of the account books in the house, so she suddenly let go of the account management, and she was still a little unaccustomed to it."
Jiang Wu's eyes stared directly at Mrs. Mo, which actually made her feel a little oppressive in her heart.
Mrs. Mo coughed lightly, how could she not hear the deep meaning of her words
This Jiang Wu is really shameless, it has only been a few days since she passed the door, and she wants to share her housekeeper's power, it's really a dream.
"It seems that your mother still loves you very much, and let you learn the account book before you get married. However, there is still a difference between this Hou Mansion and Jiang Mansion, and things in the Hou Mansion are cumbersome, and you still need time to learn more. ”
Mrs. Mo said, directly staggering her gaze, not wanting to talk about this matter with Jiang Wu anymore.
Looking at her evasive appearance, the corners of Jiang Wu's mouth hooked up a mocking smile.
After just a few small talks, she was scared like this, and it seemed that this Mrs. Mo still attached great importance to the housekeeper's affairs.
"Sister-in-law must study hard."
After eating deflated a few times, Mrs. Mo's heart was about to explode, but looking at Jiang Wu's unhurried appearance, she really couldn't swallow this breath.
No, she must find a way to punish Jiang Wu well, otherwise she will really let her ride on her head in the future.
"Don't blame me for being too talkative, the relationship between you and Zixuan has always been very good, but your stomach doesn't move at all. I know that you have just been married, but Zixuan is different from others, he is the son of the Hou Mansion, and he has a great responsibility, so there can be no delay in this matter of inheritance. ”
Jiang Wu raised her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't expect that this Mrs. Mo would be so brazen, and she could even think of such a reason.
If you want to stuff people into their room, you might as well say so. Finding this kind of reason to hold back is really making people laugh off their big teeth.
"Madame's meaning is understood, but we have not been married for a long time, so this matter is too anxious."
"What are you talking about, giving birth to a child is the top priority, as the daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion, you should know the general situation and think a lot about the sake of the son. In my opinion, if this is the case, give Zixuan a concubine room, and you will have many sisters in the future, and you will not be deserted in the courtyard. ”
Mrs. Mo looked at Jiang Wu's neither humble nor arrogant appearance, and wanted to block her even more, but she, the housewife, opened her mouth to see if she had any reason to refuse.
Looking at Mrs. Mo's confident appearance, Jiang Wu couldn't help but sneer.
Sure enough, it was the concubine who helped him up, and even when he spoke and did things, he still looked like a little family.
Before entering the door, Jiang Wu knew something about this Mrs. Mo. Mrs. Mo's real name is Meng Hui, but she was born in a small family, and she is a brilliant woman, and she often goes to various mansions to work, so many dignitaries and dignitaries know her.
By chance, she had the opportunity to make clothes in the Mo Mansion, and was appreciated by the late Mo Lady Mu Yan, and often went to the Mansion to make clothes. But Meng Hui crawled onto the bed of Marquis Mo with a wolf heart, and successfully married into the mansion as a concubine, and later Meng Hui was even more ruthless, designed to kill Mu Yan, and successfully sat in the position of Mrs. Mo.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wu felt sad for Mo Zixuan.
"You can't be the master of this matter, you know Zixuan, I'm afraid he has to nod his head first."
