Too high to reach

Chapter 144 Good things come to you
The gatekeeper had just finished speaking...

The person was already standing at the entrance of the dining room...

Mo Yi recognized him immediately; she had seen him with the prince before.

When Granny Zhao mentioned it, she seemed to say that his name was Meng San.

Everyone quickly stood up, and Mo Rushan stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and asked, "May I ask who you are, sir..."

As soon as Meng San entered the room, he smelled all sorts of fragrances, all of which he loved!

Before even speaking, he glanced at the table and exclaimed, "Wow, it really looks and smells delicious!"

"Oh, Lord Mo, my surname is Meng. I am from the Prince's side and have come to deliver a message from the Prince."

“Uncle, this is Chief Meng, who serves the Prince,” Mo Yi added.

"Oh, Chief Meng! My apologies! Uh... it's a bit messy here, shall we go to the living room?"

"..." Meng San was speechless.

What a huge table of food! And the wine's all poured!
Can I take a look first, and then go to the living room?
Do you know how to behave?
“Yes…that’s fine then…” Meng San said reluctantly.

Seeing this, Mo Yi quickly said, "Uncle, it's brighter here. And it's mealtime, so how about... we invite Chief Meng to have some simple food?"

Mo Rushan slapped his forehead. "Hey, look at me! Commander Meng, please sit down, please sit down." He quickly led Meng San to the head seat.

Meng San didn't stand on ceremony and sat down.

Mo Rusong quickly ran over and poured him a glass of wine.

Mo Rushan said apologetically, "It's just some home-style cooking made by the cook, so I didn't have the heart to ask you to eat it. But this Shaoxing wine smells quite nice."

"Hmm, not bad. Eight years." Meng San replied.

"…Chief Meng, you have excellent taste! It was my rudeness. Come, come! Let me offer you a toast first!"

Meng San raised his cup, clinked it against Mo Rushan's, and drank.

He's quite capable and ruthless, but his personality is rather eccentric.

On ordinary days, I really enjoy eating fish and shrimp, and I also love drinking Shaoxing wine.

Mo Yi gestured to Xiang Ye, and Du Juan also came over. She had learned the etiquette a few days ago and planned to serve Meng San the dishes.

Meng San refused, saying, "No need to be polite, I'll do it myself." Then, he actually picked up his chopsticks and went straight for the shrimp...

The Mo brothers were flattered and overwhelmed, but they couldn't just watch the guests eat, so they immediately started eating too...

"This...this kind of behavior, wouldn't he be frequently punished if he were by the Prince's side?" Mo Yi thought to herself.

Meng San was truly composed. He only remembered the message after a few drinks and a half-eaten meal: "Last time, Miss Mo told the Prince that she wanted to find a reason for her brother's family to be taken seriously, and the Prince gave it to Mo..."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yi quickly said, "Mo Fan!"

"Yes, yes, Mo Fan, he got a job in the Imperial Guard. He'll officially start work on the first of next month."

Zhuang was the first to exclaim in surprise and delight, "Is this really true?!"

Mo Yi was overjoyed. The prince was really reliable; he got it done so quickly! She smiled and said, "Aunt, it must be true."

"Good heavens!" Zhuang was speechless. Looking at her son, Mo Fan was also overjoyed.

Mo Rushan was also excited: "Your Highness, this is a great favor! I never expected that Your Highness, who is busy with the affairs of the country, would remember him... Chief Meng, please tell His Highness that we brothers want to go and express our gratitude."

"Hey, Your Highness, this is nothing!" Meng San drank another cup.

"What may be a small matter to the prince is a big deal to us..."

These days, Mo Rushan has also been making plans for his son, and he has just made some progress, similar to what Mo Ruhai has been doing, such as paperwork.

The advantage of this kind of position is that it's stable. The disadvantage is... that's basically how it will be for your entire life.

After all, I don't have a high level of education.

The plan is to give him something to do first, and then wait until Mo Yi gets married and establishes himself before trying to find a way out.

Forbidden army!

That's different. It's prestigious, and the profits are just as good.

They can jump horizontally or vertically, and it's also easy for them to get close to the emperor.

If one could actually get close to the Emperor, there was a possibility that they would be sent out on inspections.

So this whole loop... right?!
With a few quick promotions, becoming a high-ranking official in the court is not a dream!
Otherwise, Xu Ke would also have infiltrated the Imperial Guard! Mo Fan can work with the Xu family members, so what's there to complain about?
The more I think about it, the happier I feel.

They toasted and exchanged drinks with Meng San, showering him with compliments.

Mo Fan was so excited that he poured himself three glasses and drank them all. Turning to look at Mo Yi, he saw her saying to him, "Drink less!"

He smiled...

Wang asked Mo Wen in a low voice, "Imperial Guard, are you with Young Master Xu?"

Mo Wen recovered her senses and said, "Yes! This position is indeed quite good!"

In the future, her husband and cousin will work together and take care of each other... Her face flushed slightly. If she told him, he would probably be shocked!

Mo Ruhai couldn't keep up with the conversation. After drinking a few cups, he felt an overwhelming sense of pride: All of this is thanks to Yi Yi!

This girl… He found his eyes were wet: she had made something of herself, knowing how to help her brother.

All these years of treating Yi Yi well have finally brought Mo Fan good fortune.

Good deeds are rewarded; the ancients were right!
Mo Rushan and Meng San were laughing incessantly, seemingly unaware of what they were saying. Mo Rusong also dragged a stool over and sat behind them, occasionally chiming in.

Only Mo Ruhai, slightly tipsy, exclaimed: The world is so wonderful.

Mo Fan stepped down from the men's table, picked up a glass of wine, and moved to the women's table.

Mo Wenxian said first, "Congratulations, Second Brother."

"Thank you, Third Sister..." He took a sip of water towards Mo Wen, then turned to Mo Yi and said, "I won't say anything more, I'll remember it all."

Mo Yi's smile was unusually bright and radiant! "Wishing Second Brother a bright future!"

Granny Zhao was right: I will eventually be able to benefit my family!
Zhuang immediately grabbed Mo Fan and kept talking. Mo Fan struggled a couple of times and managed to get away.

“I’m talking to my second brother about marriage…” Mo Yuan blinked.

The Mo family girls all smiled at him...

Meng San was a man of principle. After he had enough wine and food, he packed his bags and left.

The three Mo brothers remained silent, drinking cup after cup.

"Third brother, you're going to that place first thing tomorrow morning..." he asked Mo Bao, "What's the name of that shop?"

Mo Bao happily exclaimed, "Let's call it Red Palm Residence!"

"What a weird name... Go book a private room! Yi Yi, go ask tomorrow if the Prince can come? And Zhao Mama too!"

"Yes," Mo Yi agreed, but she didn't intend to ask the prince.

You could ask Granny Zhao!

……

After the meal, Wang went back to her room and burst into tears.

Her nephews and nieces also needed to find a reason to do so.

My nephew has a brother-in-law, so it's not so bad.

But the eldest brother's sons, some manage the family business, and some are only half-heartedly studying. The eldest brother is young and strong, so he doesn't need them. For young people, it would be best if they could find a job.

How much did they help me?
Everything Mo Yi eats and wears comes from them!

They knew to find a job for Mo Fan, but they didn't even ask his cousin!

It really pisses me off!

But these words can no longer be used as they were in the past, to scold her or force her to do things.

Mother and daughter, we are! How could we have become so estranged...

It's clearly a good thing, but I don't dare tell my family.

Otherwise, if my sister-in-law brings it up, what will I use to defend myself?

But if you don't stop me, will you make me and Mo Yi bow down?

Even if I lower my head, I don't know how that heartless father and daughter will try to fool me!

Woohoo...
