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

Wang Jingye applauded, but he didn't expect his brother-in-law to continue asking questions.

"How did your father teach you?"

He Shankun looked at his eldest brother.

Nie Chengping said, "Didn't you just say you wanted to be an honest person?"

He Shankun pursed his lips again and said, "My father told me to be filial to my grandmother and mother, to be friendly to my brothers and respectful to my younger brothers, to study hard, to pass the imperial examination, to contribute to the court, and to take care of my sisters."

He Shanluo breathed a sigh of relief. His brother was not wrong. This was also what his father taught him.

After listening to this, Wang Jingye felt that He Wenyan was right, and that almost all parents teach their children in this way.

But how can one be filial to unkind parents? How can one take care of shameless sisters?

He didn't ask, as it was a bit embarrassing for the twelve-year-old He Shankun to answer this question.

Nie Chengping didn't ask. He already knew the answer from the child's expression.

He said that when his grandfather taught him something, he puffed out his chest and his eyes lit up.

When asked how his father taught him, he looked at his eldest brother, because the eldest brother is the father. He answered that his father said what he said, not what his grandfather taught him, and he would do it.

The child is not saying that what his father said is wrong.

Before, He Shanluo confused Xiao Heshun and came to ask him, but Shankun already had the answer in his heart.

Children can be taught.

Nie Chengping said to He Shanluo, "Take your brother and study here today."

Then he gently said to He Shankun, "If you don't understand something, ask your brother."

After all, the eldest son of the He family is Shanluo. Just like him, he is clumsier than his younger brother, but his younger brother has respected him since childhood.

The same is true for He Wenliang. This is what brotherly love and respect are.

Wang Jingye and his brother-in-law walked out of the study, and he said, "What a pity."

Nie Chengping knew what he meant, it was a pity that He Shankun was not the boss.

In a family, no matter how outstanding the second or third son is, he must be humble to his older brothers, otherwise the family will be in chaos.

Whoever has the ability will take the lead. How many open and secret struggles will there be?

Especially between legitimate sons and illegitimate sons, if the illegitimate son is favored, then the illegitimate descendants in the future will think, I am also a illegitimate son, I also want to fight for it.

This is true for a family and a country. The system of primogeniture is to avoid fratricide.

No matter how capable you are, you have to endure it because you are born out of wedlock. It's your fault for being born into a good family.

Third Master Qiu's turn came only after his two older brothers died young. Some families, lacking legitimate sons, would rather adopt a brother's legitimate son than let a bastard inherit the family business, in order to prevent the bastard from pursuing selfish interests.

Wang Jingye felt sorry. If the He family had sent He Shankun instead, it would have been better. Now that his brother-in-law was teaching the eldest son of the He family, he would not teach the other one of the He family. The two had such a big difference in talent. Studying with the same teacher would make the one with less talent feel unfair.

He Shanluo's cousin He Shanqiao was even more outstanding. This was also the reason why Nie Chengping never asked He Shanluo to bring him along.

After Mo Chenxi returned to the Mo family, she heard her youngest son imitate the conversation with Mr. Nie word for word, and she looked at her second son with admiration.

Yesterday I thought my two sons were a little childish compared to their peers.

She had neglected her youngest son during this time because he went to a private school every day. She never expected that her youngest son would have such talent.

There is a saying that sometimes the people who understand their children the least are their parents.

Mo Chenxi did not feel ashamed as a mother, because the child was not her biological son. She just had to pay attention to this youngest son in the future.

He Shankun was nervous, "I didn't ask Mr. Nie for guidance."

Mo Chenxi touched his head, showing a rare display of mother-son affection.

"Your eldest brother wouldn't think too much about it. He offered to take your Shanqiao cousin to see Mr. Nie several times. Your eldest brother has a kind heart."

He Shankun didn't look relieved, and Mo Chenxi immediately understood that he was worried that his parents would think he was being too "showy" in front of Mr. Nie.

Compared with the eldest son, this child is too cautious.

She smiled and said, "You answered very well. Brothers should be friendly and respectful to each other. From now on, follow your elder brother and study hard."

Mo Chenxi would not encourage his son to have the idea that whoever has the most ability will be promoted. Since the ancient system of primogeniture has existed for thousands of years, it must have more advantages than disadvantages.

Existence is reasonable.

Mo Chenxi remembered a modern saying: The ancients were just ancient, not stupid, and they could tell which was the most reasonable and profitable.

He Wenliang is obviously more capable than He Wenyan, but he has always been respectful to his brother, otherwise the family will be in chaos, with each branch pursuing its own goals. If I don't obey you, I will fight you.

This is true whether it is as small as a family or as large as a country.

Kangxi also considered this, which is why he deposed the crown prince twice. After that, the concubines' sons had their own wings and became strong enough, which led to the Nine Dragons Fighting for the Crown Prince.

Next, Zhou continued to go to Wang's house every day with the original team, and He Shanluo went to study with Mr. Nie every day.

Doctor An still followed the same routine. In the afternoon, he would watch the children practice in the backyard, mainly observing Nie Lingxuan.

As soon as Nie Lingxuan saw him, she reminded him, "Brother An, have you had your ginger tea?"

Dr. An always patiently replied, "Just drank it, thank you."

Sometimes I say, “I forgot.”

Nie Lingxuan would immediately ask the servants to bring it over.

Doctor An said with a gloomy face, "I don't like ginger tea. It burns my throat."

Every time Nie Lingxuan took medicine, her sister and brother would coax her to drink it in various ways. Then there would be someone she wanted to coax, and she would patiently repeat what her sister and brother said.

"Be obedient, you won't get sick if you drink it. If you get sick, you'll have to drink bitter medicine and get acupuncture, which will be very painful."

Doctor An followed her words and sometimes deliberately took a sip and spit it out. Nie Lingxuan would then have someone bring another bowl and drink it with Doctor An.

That's what my sister did.

Everyone else knew that Doctor An was here to treat Aunt Nie, otherwise, a foreign man, even if he was middle-aged, would not be allowed into the backyard.

No one would call Dr. An "doctor" because Nie Lingxuan would hide as soon as she heard the word "doctor".

Mo Chenxi once met Doctor An in the backyard. Her sister-in-law Zhou had already told her about the doctor who came to treat Nie Lingxuan, and she really wanted Doctor An to take her pulse.

Since the Wang family came from Bashu, his medical skills must be good.

However, it would be a bit abrupt to bring it up so rashly.

She's not seriously ill, so let's wait until Doctor An cures Nie Lingxuan.

Mrs. Wang wanted Dr. An to see Mrs. He, but Mrs. He didn't bring it up, so she racked her brains to find a solution.

You can't ask my doctor to take your pulse. What if Madam He is against it?

She made an appointment with her junior sister and Madam He, and when the time came, she asked her junior sister to offer to take her pulse, and she would join in the fun, and then take the opportunity to ask Madam He to take her pulse as well.

When Mo Chenxi arrived at Wang's house, Wang Huilan gave her a gift, a fur cloak, as soon as she saw her.

"This was given to me by the eldest sister-in-law of the Xue family. Other families prize furs, but the Xue family doesn't. General Xue sends them home year-round, and we keep them for gifting. This is this year's stock, and I took some to process. Don't be shy, Sister Mo. Everyone has one, including your sister Jingyi."

Mo Chenxi thanked him.

This is what it means to be rich and powerful.

She wanted to do the same, but couldn't.

My favorite saying in my previous life was: It feels good to be the one who treats the guests.

In a restaurant, whoever treats guests always exudes the attitude of: I am the sponsor, I am happy to treat guests.

Mo Chenxi hoped to get rich quickly, and she also wanted to show off in front of the Wang family. Otherwise, she would feel embarrassed every time she received expensive gifts and would not be able to return the corresponding gifts.
