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

Mo Chenxi would definitely ask his son before getting engaged, in case his son doesn't like the girl, or in case he has "lofty goals" and wants to marry a girl from a wealthy family after becoming her study companion.

Even adults can't resist temptation, let alone a child.

Unable to wait for the academy to close for the holidays, Mo Chenxi sent someone to pick up He Shankun and take him home. From his expression, it was clear that he already knew about the assignment.

He Shankun had a look of trepidation on his face. He had grown up in an environment where, although his father was a fifth-rank official, none of his friends or classmates were from the fifth-rank official family.

Now I know that they don’t look down on the He family at all.

This year, because of my mother, I got to know some people of my age from wealthy families. After getting to know them, I learned what a small family is and what a wealthy family is.

He understood why his father always wanted him and his elder brother to study hard, to bring honor to the He family, and to make the He family stronger.

He agreed with his father's advice to study hard, but he did not approve of some of his father's practices.

Studying can help you succeed, but what is more important is your character and the ability to handle various things.

My father studied hard and worked diligently at the court. But his immersion in study and work, without any regard for interpersonal relationships, not only made the family a mess, but he also didn't get anywhere outside of the family.

This year he also realized that his father was able to reach the fifth rank with the help of his grandfather.

But my father knew it clearly, but he felt that he owed my grandfather a favor and he couldn't hold his head up.

He couldn't figure it out. How could this happen?

Aren't people supposed to repay even the smallest bit of kindness with a spring of gratitude?

This is what his father taught him, but why did he strangely forget the basic principles of being a human being when it came to him?

He was young and no one told him anything, so he just observed everyone secretly.

My mother, who always regarded my father as her God, has become a different person since she fell seriously ill.

At that time, he always thought that his family was harmonious, well-fed and well-clothed, and prosperous.

But everything went haywire after my mother fell ill.

The reason for the chaos was that the mother was sick and unable to take care of the home.

It turns out that this family relies on the mother, not the father.

He Shankun was confused. What did his father do for this family?

They were filial to their grandmother and asked their mother and them to be filial to their grandmother and to care for and take care of their second uncle, third uncle, and second aunt. However, it was their mother who was truly filial to their grandmother and took care of their second uncle, third uncle, and second aunt, while their father just paid lip service to it.

My grandmother finds fault with my mother, my second aunt finds fault with my mother, and my father only blames my mother.

The fact that my mother distanced herself from my father after she fell ill showed that she was resentful, but my father didn't understand at all and kept asking her to compromise.

When He Shankun understood all this, he was very worried about his eldest brother, because his eldest brother looked very much like his father, and his eldest brother would be like his father in the future.

He also saw that his mother was trying hard to change his eldest brother, making him understand that studying was not the only way out and not the only condition to judge a person's character.

Fortunately, thanks to his mother's efforts, his eldest brother became Mr. Nie's disciple, and now he is also a disciple of the Ji family. He is envious, but not jealous.

He secretly vowed to study hard and help his elder brother support the family.

He felt a little pity for his father, because his father just couldn't see the world clearly and couldn't see his own mother clearly.

No, he vaguely felt that his father understood his grandmother, so why did he let her control his mother?

He Shankun also vaguely felt that his father wanted to control his mother through his grandmother so that he could be superior to his mother and prove his ability and that he did not owe his maternal grandparents anything.

If my father was truly filial, he would not have ignored my grandmother after losing everything due to hemiplegia.

My father is like this...

some……

But, that was also his biological father, his real father who was now planting flowers in the farm like an old farmer.

His father never wronged him or treated him badly. Between him and his elder brother, because he was the second son, his father was gentler to him than to his elder brother.

Therefore, he will be filial to his father and fulfill his responsibilities as a son.

He Shankun panicked when he heard the sudden news today that he would be the emperor's companion. He was afraid that he was not qualified and that he would do something wrong and implicate his family.

Mo Chenxi said to his son, "You already know that you will be going to the palace as a companion, right?"

He Shankun nodded.

"We have no right to object to this matter. I personally don't want to. The palace is not a good place for ordinary people, regardless of gender. Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. But fortunately, there is Mr. Nie's eldest son. You will stay with him when the time comes. You are two years older than him, so you must take good care of him."

He Shankun nodded and said, "Son, I understand."

"There's one more thing I want to tell you. I've taken a fancy to your aunt's niece and want to marry her to you. I'm worried that people who come to propose marriage in the future will be attracted by your status as the Emperor's tutor. If I don't bring any benefits, they'll be disappointed. But after all, I want to be your wife for the rest of my life, so I'd like to hear your opinion."

He Shankun quickly said, "Son, listen to your mother."

Mo Chenxi was curious about her son's unhesitating agreement and asked, "Have you been paying attention to Li's sister before?"

He Shankun quickly denied it, "No, no, I've always treated the Zhou and Li sisters like my own cousins. I'm still young and wouldn't think about it that way."

He agreed with his mother that it would be better to get engaged to his aunt's family now than to get engaged to someone in the future because he would be the emperor's companion.

It is said that one should look up when marrying a daughter and look down when marrying a wife. He did not want to be like his father, because his grandfather's family was better off than the He family in all aspects, which caused his father's awkwardness later on.

My father also wanted to rely on himself, but he failed. In the end, he relied on his grandfather outside and his mother at home. So my father was unwilling to accept this, but he had no choice because he had no ability.

He is not married now and is not in his father's shoes, so he doesn't know whether he will be like his father in the future.

It would be better not to marry into a family with a higher status than the He family.

"Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. The mother will consider everything carefully for her son. The son is young, so it won't be wrong to listen to his mother."

Mo Chenxi said seriously, "Because you are young, I will ask you to think about it carefully for one night. Once you have thought it through, tell me. Don't wait until you are married and have children, and then meet someone you like and say that you are young and ignorant."

He Shankun said: "My son won't be like that. If he gets married and has a wife, he won't have any thoughts about other people. My son may not be able to stand up to the sky, but he can fulfill his responsibilities."

Mo Chenxi couldn't help but applaud, "Well said, Mom hopes you will remember what I said today and remember what I said in the future."

Her younger brother's wife, Ms. Li, had a father who was a juren (a scholar) but never passed the imperial examination and was a jinshi (a scholar-official) in the countryside.

At the beginning, marrying off a daughter was considered a way to raise her head, but unexpectedly, Madam Xiaojie took a fancy to the granddaughter of the Li family, which made the Li family very happy.
