The Second World in Ancient Times

After experiencing the initial signs of enlightenment and the innocent days of childhood filled with little anecdotes, Si Qing's peaceful life was disrupted by a sudden family crisis. In this crisis, she felt the warmth and coldness of the world for the first time.

As Si Qing grows, family affairs become increasingly complex. Beneath this seemingly prosperous family, undercurrents surge. A dispute over the family fortune, like the calm before the storm, shatters the peace and unrest.

One day, Si Qing was playing with her friends in the garden when she heard a commotion coming from the mansion. Curious, she stopped playing and wanted to see what was going on. Servants were frantically moving about the mansion, and the air was filled with tension.

Si Qing grabbed a passing servant and asked, "What happened? Why is everyone so panicked?"

The servant looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Miss, something happened in the family. I don't know the details. You should go back to your room and don't run around."

Si Qing was even more confused, but she knew she couldn't get any answers from the servants, so she decided to find the answers herself. She quietly went to the front hall and saw her father and several elders discussing something seriously.

His father's brow furrowed, his face thick with worry. Si Qing hid behind a pillar, quietly listening to their conversation. It turned out that a major family business had run into trouble. A competitor had maliciously suppressed the family business, causing it to fall into trouble.

Furthermore, disagreements arose within the family. Some advocated compromise, while others insisted on fighting to the bitter end. This conflict plunged the entire family into chaos. Si Qing listened to the adults' arguments, feeling uneasy. She didn't understand why this had happened, nor did she know what fate the family would face.

She thought to herself, "Why is this happening? Our family has always been strong, so why are we suddenly in such trouble? I'm so scared. I'm afraid that things will get worse for our family, and that everyone will be unhappy."

As the family crisis escalated, the atmosphere in the mansion grew increasingly tense. The servants worked cautiously, fearing any potential trouble. The older brothers and sisters, no longer playing carefree as before, began to worry about the family's future. Si Qing felt sad to see everyone so anxious.

She wanted to do something for her family, but she didn't know what she could do. She could only pray silently, hoping that the family could survive this crisis. During this turmoil, Si Qing also witnessed the complexity of human nature. Some chose to escape from difficulties, while others took advantage of the opportunity to seek personal gain. Some relatives began to fight for their own interests, even at the expense of others. Once, Si Qing witnessed two elders arguing. They were fighting over a family property, and their faces were red and their necks were angry.

An elder said, "I have always been in charge of this property. Why should I give it to you now?"

Another elder retorted, "When the family is in trouble, everyone should contribute. You can't take all the benefits for yourself."

Si Qing looked at their hideous faces, her heart filled with fear and disappointment. She didn't understand why the once harmonious family had become like this.

She thought to herself, "How could they do this? Shouldn't we all unite and overcome this difficult time together? Why are we fighting for our own interests?"

However, amidst this family turmoil, some people also showed kindness and strength. Si Qing's parents always upheld the dignity and honor of the family. They worked hard to find a solution to the problem and led the family members to face the difficulties together.

The old man also encouraged Si Qing to face difficulties bravely and not be defeated by them. Si Qing's brothers and sisters also stepped forward to contribute to the family. Some helped their father with business matters, while others comforted their mother and other family members.

Throughout this process, Si Qing witnessed the unity and strength of her family. She decided not to stand idly by and watch. She began to cheer them up in her own way. She would offer them a glass of water when they were tired, and she would tell a joke or sing a song when they were feeling down. Although her power was small, she hoped to bring some warmth and comfort to everyone.

One day, Si Qing saw her father returning home, looking exhausted. She quickly ran over, handed him a cup of tea, and said, "Dad, you've worked so hard. Don't worry, we'll get through this." Her father looked at the sensible Si Qing and smiled with satisfaction.

Si Qing secretly vowed to do more for her family. In the process, she gradually grew up. No longer the playful little girl, she began to care for others and worry about the future of her family. She also understood that life is not always full of sunshine and laughter; sometimes there are storms and setbacks.

As time went by, the family turmoil did not subside immediately.

However, with everyone's joint efforts, the situation began to improve. My father and the elders found ways to deal with the competitors, and the family business gradually recovered.

Seeing her family's situation improve, Si Qing was filled with joy. She thought to herself, "Great! Our family finally has hope. Everyone's efforts have paid off." Amidst this family turmoil, Si Qing also experienced some interesting things.

Once, she heard two servants secretly discussing a family dispute.

A servant said, "When do you think this turmoil will end? I'm almost suffocating from this tense atmosphere."

Another servant said mysteriously, "I heard that the master has come up with a brilliant plan that will surely help the family overcome this difficult time."

Si Qing was filled with curiosity when she heard their conversation. She began to imagine what her father's brilliant plan would be.

Another time, Si Qing came across a wounded bird in the garden. She carefully picked it up and bandaged its wounds. While caring for the bird, Si Qing seemed to forget the family crisis. She thought to herself, "This little bird is so pitiful! I must heal it. Perhaps, like this little bird, our family will slowly heal."

After the family turmoil gradually subsided, Si Qing began to cherish her current life even more. She knew that happiness was hard-earned and required everyone's joint efforts to protect it.

She also began studying diligently, hoping to make a greater contribution to the family's future. Si Qing returned to her study and continued studying with the old master. She worked harder than ever, striving to acquire more knowledge and skills. She knew that only by becoming better could she better face the challenges of her future life.

Besides studying, Si Qing also began to pay attention to the family business. She would quietly listen in on her father and brothers as they discussed business matters. Although she didn't quite understand the complex business terms, she would carefully consider them and offer her own ideas and suggestions. One time, Si Qing overheard her father and brothers discussing how to expand the family business.

An idea suddenly struck her, and she summoned up the courage to say, "Dad, brothers, we can sell our products to places farther away. For example, to places we've never been to. Maybe many people will like our products."

Si Qing's father and brothers were surprised to hear what he said. They hadn't expected such a little girl to have such an idea. His father smiled and said, "Qing'er, your idea is great. However, selling our products to more distant places is not an easy task. We need to consider many issues, such as transportation and market demand." Si Qing listened carefully and nodded.

She knew her ideas were immature, but she also wanted to contribute to the family business. In this process, Si Qing also learned how to collaborate. She discussed with her brothers and sisters how to contribute more to the family. They would discuss problems together, sharing their ideas and experiences. In this process, Si Qing felt the power of a team.

As the family business gradually recovered, the atmosphere in the mansion became more relaxed. Smiles appeared on the servants' faces again, and the brothers and sisters began to regain their former energy. Si Qing was very pleased to see everyone so happy.

However, Si Qing knew that this family turmoil was just the beginning. The road ahead was still long, and more challenges awaited them.

However, she is no longer afraid, because she has learned to be brave and strong in this storm. In this ancient world, Si Qing feels the warmth and coldness of life in her own way.

She knows that life is like a journey, full of unknowns and challenges, but as long as she maintains a kind heart and bravely faces difficulties, she will be able to create a wonderful life of her own.

After the family turmoil, Si Qing cherishes the relationship with her family even more. She often stays with her parents and listens to them tell stories about the family history.

She would also play with her brothers and sisters and share their happiness and troubles.

Once, Si Qing was walking in the garden with her mother. Looking at the blossoming flowers, her mother said with emotion, "Qing'er, you know what? Life is like these flowers. There are times when they bloom and times when they wither. We should cherish every beautiful moment and not wait until we lose them to appreciate them." Si Qing listened to her mother's words and nodded thoughtfully.

She knew that the family turmoil had taught her many lessons. She needed to cherish her present life, study hard, and contribute to her family's future. She also needed to maintain a kind heart and care for and help those in need.

In this ancient world full of challenges and opportunities, Si Qing's journey of growth continues. With her love for life and her vision for the future, she will bravely move forward and create her own brilliant life.
