After hearing this, Mo Hanyue sat back down next to her mother.
"What do you want to tell Hanyue?"
Mrs. Mo looked at her daughter who was getting more and more beautiful, and reached out to touch her silky hair.
"Mother's Hanyue is getting more and more beautiful."
Being praised by her mother, Mo Hanyue said coquettishly, "My mother was born well, so my daughter will naturally be beautiful."
Mrs. Mo hugged her daughter lovingly and said softly: "I remember that when I was in the capital, Xun Gui, who came to propose marriage to Hanyue, could step through the door of the Mo family. At that time, my mother always thought that Hanyue was still young and wanted to help her carefully.
You make a choice, who would have thought that our Mo family would actually cause this unnecessary disaster, which would actually delay your marriage."
When Mo Hanyue heard her mother mention her marriage, she immediately blushed, and at the same time, a figure suddenly flashed in her mind.
The man was personable, dignified in appearance, and possessed of great righteousness. His extraordinary demeanor was unmatched by those noble men in the capital.
Mo Hanyue didn't know why Meng Huaining appeared in her mind, and her heart was beating faster.
In order to cover up her embarrassment, Mo Hanyue deliberately rested her head on her mother's shoulder, trying to prevent her from seeing him.
"Mom, Hanyue will not marry. She will stay at home and serve you all her life."
Mrs. Mo laughed out loud: "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? How can a girl's family not marry?"
Mo Hanyue pouted and acted coquettishly: "Mom, Hanyue wants to stay with you all the time."
Mrs. Mo patted Mo Hanyue on the back and her tone became a little more serious.
"Mother thinks Master Meng is pretty good, what do you think?"
Hearing Mr. Meng's words, Mo Hanyue's little heart, which had just calmed down, began to beat wildly again.
She buried her head in Mrs. Mo's arms: "Mom...how can you ask a girl like me such a thing?"
Hearing what her daughter said, there was something else Mrs. Mo didn't understand.
This simple girl of my own is also very pleased with Master Meng.
Now that she knows her daughter's thoughts, Mrs. Mo is not impatient. Again, this kind of thing has to wait for the man to take the initiative.
As for the final result, it can only depend on the fate of these two people.
Several grown men were chatting in the room, and He Zhiran took the women to the kitchen to make cold rabbits.
At this time, the rabbit meat is fresh, and the cold rabbit tastes better.
The main purpose of Meng Huaining coming to Mo's house was to see more of Mo Hanyue. Who knows if that girl deliberately avoided Mo Hanyue today, but she never showed up.
In fact, Mo Hanyue is not a lazy person. In the past, when her sisters-in-law were busy with work, she would join in and help them.
But with Meng Huaining here today, she was too embarrassed to go out, so she stayed in her room all afternoon reading the book on Chinese herbal medicine given by Sister-in-law Jiu.
It wasn't until dinner that Mo Hanyue put down her books and walked out of the room.
At present, the conditions of the Mo family are limited. When eating, both men and women are in the main room, but they don't sit at the same table.
Mo Hanyue thought and deliberately sat farther away from the man's table to avoid embarrassment.
Who would have thought that the careless second sister-in-law would pull her to sit next to him, and the second sister-in-law's position was closest to the man's table.
Mo Hanyue wanted to refuse, but the sisters-in-law acted quickly and the other seats were filled one after another, so she had no choice but to sit next to the second sister-in-law.
Needless to say, the dishes for dinner were all carefully arranged by He Zhiran. The most important thing was the cold rabbit that everyone had been thinking about for a long time.
Meng Huaining usually liked the Mo family's food the most, but today he was always thinking about Mo Hanyue, and he seemed a little absent-minded while eating.
Seeing him like this, others didn't know what was going on, but the careful Mrs. Mo had a rough guess.
When drinking tea after the meal, Mrs. Mo deliberately did not leave, but asked about everything.
"If I remember correctly, Master Meng should have two older brothers in his family?"
Mrs. Mo knew a little about the situation of the Meng family. After all, Meng Huaining's parents were similar to hers in age, and they were both officials in the capital a few years ago, so they were not strangers.
When Mrs. Mo asked questions, Meng Huaining, who had always been generous and neat, was also a little nervous, as if he was meeting his future mother-in-law.
"Old madam, just call me Huaining. You don't have to be so polite. I do have two brothers in my family. They are currently taking care of their parents in my hometown."
Mrs. Mo was also happy. Originally, she looked at Meng Huaining as if she was her junior, so she called him Mr. Meng out of politeness.
"In that case, I will call you by your name from now on."
After a pause, Mrs. Mo continued to ask: "Is your brother already married?"
Meng Huaining replied respectfully: "The two brothers have already been married under the support of their parents, and now they are both fathers."
Mrs. Mo sighed: "Time is not forgiving. I met your two brothers when I was in the capital. They were still half-grown children at that time, and now they are both fathers."
When Meng Huaining heard Mrs. Mo mention his brother, he hoped that she would also ask about his situation, so that he would have a chance to express his attitude.
But after waiting for a long time, Mrs. Mo didn't even ask.
If faced with other matters, Meng Huaining is not the kind of person who is dragging his feet and would have spoken out frankly.
But facing his lifelong event, he was still timid.
It's a pity that he finally had the opportunity to communicate with the elders of the Mo family, but he didn't say the key point...
Mrs. Mo also saw that this boy was still a little reluctant to let go of his lifelong event. She had already given him a chance to mention it, but he didn't say anything.
In this case, the matter between him and Mo Hanyue can only depend on fate.
After all, he was a guest and it was already late. Meng Huaining naturally had no reason to stay. After drinking a cup of tea, he reluctantly said goodbye.
The female family members worked until late at night, and finally made all the one hundred rabbit meat into cold rabbits. They got up early the next morning to wrap them in oil paper, and Mo Jiuye planned to send them directly to Tang Mingrui.
It happened like this every time. As soon as everyone put the cold rabbit on the mule cart, Tang Mingrui came to the door with gifts.
Also accompanying him this time was Tang Mingxin.
Because the little girl used the ointment given by He Zhiran, her face after having chickenpox didn't leave any scars, and she still looked playful.
Seeing Tang Mingrui, Mo Jiuye knew that she didn't have to run this time.
He first let Tang Mingrui into the main room, and then told him about making a large amount of cold rabbits last night.
Tang Mingrui came here purely to pay New Year greetings. He didn't expect that there would be such a big surprise during this trip.
For a future big businessman, nothing is more important than business.
He left the girl behind and ran to check on those cold rabbits, eager to take them to the city and make a lot of money.
When Mo Hanyue saw a little guest coming to her house, she took the initiative to take her to her place to play.
