Dressed as a middle-aged mistress, I want to lie down every day

He Shanluo still had a doubt, he asked: "What if my parents are like that?"

After asking, he quickly explained: "I mean, if my parents are good, my father is upright and my mother is virtuous."

Nie Chengping said: "Confucius said: If a son follows his father, how can he be filial? If a minister follows his ruler, how can he be loyal? Examining the reasons for following is called filial piety and loyalty. Mencius said: If the ruler treats his ministers like dogs and horses, then the ministers will treat the ruler like fellow countrymen; if the ruler treats his ministers like dirt, then the ministers will treat the ruler like an enemy. Xunzi said: Following the Way, not the ruler; following righteousness, not the father, is the greatest virtue of man.

"You can advise your parents, but you can't change their minds. You can only try not to be manipulated by others. I never think that filial piety means obedience. If filial piety means obedience, then let me put it bluntly. If your father asks you to kill someone, do you have to kill him?

"You have a conscience and think your father is wrong, but you kill someone just to please him. Is that filial piety? You should patiently tell your father that this is wrong. If your father doesn't listen and continues to ask you to kill, then refusing is filial piety, because you want to act like a gentleman, not a foolish filial son."

He Shanluo had memorized the words of the saints that Mr. Nie mentioned since he was a child, but no one told him that he could think that way as a son. The education he received was all about respecting one's parents and so on.

He Shanluo was more realistic. He went home and actually asked his father.

He Wenyan remained silent after hearing his son's question.

He sighed and said, "After all, she is your aunt. Your grandmother only has this one daughter. I want to make your grandmother live a happy life, and I feel sorry for your aunt's unhappy marriage, so I am accommodating."

He Shanluo asked, "If my aunt makes things difficult for me in the future, what should I do?"

He Wenyan said: "No, you are her nephew, she has to act like an aunt."

He Shanluo was a little disappointed with what his father said. Even though his aunt had acted like this, his father still thought that his aunt would not do anything excessive.

He went to ask his mother again and repeated what Mr. Nie had said.

Mo Chenxi was very happy that his eldest son came to ask him, which meant that he had doubts about his previous understanding.

If he thought his previous understanding was correct, he would not have come to ask her.

She said, "Your father is indecisive and hesitant, harming both himself and others. Your aunt is getting more and more aggressive, which is also caused by your father's indulgence. Whether it is the elders or your future children, if they don't correct their behavior early and just indulge it blindly, there will be no good results.

"I knew it wasn't right, but for the sake of our family, to make your grandmother happy, and to avoid embarrassing your father, I gave in step by step. You saw the result. So, in the future, how you handle problems must be upright, impartial, uphold what's right, and correct what's wrong. I think you should ask your third uncle about this. He'll tell you what he has to say."

He Shanluo went to see his third uncle again.

He Wenliang spoke bluntly and explained what he had done. "I am a brother. If I say anything, your grandmother will not agree. Your second aunt will say that I have no sisterly love. I can't change their thoughts. I can only take precautions. I have told everyone I know that if your second aunt comes to them, don't agree to anything for my sake."

"Your father thinks this is shameful, but what if your second aunt does something even more shameful? They'll even say your second aunt has lost her mind. That's what your father said at the Wang family. Why bother? If you become a first-rank official, your second aunt will say that my nephew is a first-rank official, and my daughter can be the queen. Will you let her do it? If you don't, you'll be disrespecting your elders. Your second aunt is so unreasonable."

He Shanluo asked, "Second uncle doesn't care?"

"Your second uncle is determined to take the imperial examination, but he hasn't even passed the exam yet. Your second aunt still blames your father for not guiding your second uncle. This time, your second uncle has figured it out and wants to do something. Your second aunt went to your father and my boss.

He Shanluo blushed a little. He had been determined to pass the imperial examination and had never thought about what would happen if he failed when he was over 30.

He thought that his father was a Jinshi, and he could not bring shame to his father, so he wanted to take the Jinshi exam.

"Your grandmother is still alive, so I can't do anything about it. But I won't have any dealings with the Gao family when the family splits up. Tell your future wife not to give gifts to the Gao family during the holidays. People you know will only be able to figure it out. No one will pay any attention to what your second aunt says when she comes to visit."

Just as he said this, the servant outside the door came back to report that the lady asked them to come over.

Mo Chenxi met the person from the Cao family, who was sent by Old Madam Cao. They said that He had visited the Cao family the day before yesterday and given gifts. It was inconvenient for the Cao family to return the gift, so they sent the gift to the He family and asked the He family to help return the gift.

She called He Wenyan's brothers and eldest son over.

If He Shanluo had not heard what his third uncle said, he would have wondered why his aunt went to the Cao family. Now, when he heard what his mother said, he immediately thought that his aunt was going there to ask people for a job for his uncle.

His face flushed red. Before Miss Cao even entered the house, his aunt had already gone to his future father-in-law's house to cause trouble.

In my sister's words, it's so embarrassing.

He Wenyan's face also turned red, and a hint of gloating flashed across He Wenliang's face. He had asked Fan to go back to her parents' home many years ago and tell them what happened to his second sister, so that his second sister wouldn't say anything when she went to her father-in-law's house, and her father-in-law wouldn't know what was going on.

Mo Chenxi smiled. He did not go to the Mo family because she thought that the Mo family had fallen to the point of becoming businessmen and could not help her.

She said to her eldest son, "Go to the Cao family and apologize. This is your future father-in-law's home. You have to show up. You can't just brush it off, and don't expect your mother to solve it for you."

He Wenyan looked at her and thought to herself, isn't it your responsibility as a mother to go there?

He said, "Shanluo hasn't gotten married yet, so Madam should go there."

Mo Chenxi said rationally, "Things like this will happen in the future. Shanluo will have to face it personally. As a mother, I will solve everything for him. Will he expect his wife to solve it for him in the future?"

Without even looking at He Wenyan's expression, he continued to say to He Shanluo, "You are a man. A man is not just about doing big things. See the big picture from the small things. If you handle the small things well, even if you pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future, you will still have to deal with all kinds of people and all kinds of small things."

He Shanluo said, "I'll go and explain to the Cao family that our He family is not aware of what my aunt did."

Mo Chenxi asked Mother Wang to prepare gifts and got up to see her eldest son out.

He Wenyan sat there motionless, feeling his self-esteem was hurt. His son didn't listen to him, his brother mocked him with a half-smile, and his wife ignored him completely.

What did he do wrong?

Isn't he doing this for this family?

He protected everyone inside and outside, but in the end no one cared about him.

At this time, Doctor Zhao sent someone to invite him to drink. He Wenyan was worried, thinking that his second sister had also gone to Doctor Zhao's house.

When Mo Chenxi returned and heard what He Wenyan said, he really wanted to laugh out loud.

"Didn't you say that my second sister is sensible and won't do anything reckless?"
