Chapter 26 Teaching and Learning (II)

After saying this, Sheng Hong saw that it was still early, so he decided to give them another lesson.

Sheng Hong continued to ask, "Do you know when our ancestors became rich, and who are the relatives in the family now?"

Rulan knew the answer to this question. She raised her head and stared at Sheng Hong with expectant eyes. Sheng Hong let her speak, "Our Sheng family started with our great-grandfather. Our great-grandfather started his business and accumulated a fortune for our Sheng family. He married his great-grandmother, who was a lady from an official family, and gave birth to three sons. Our grandfather was a scholar who won the third place in the imperial examination, and he married my grandmother, who was the daughter of a marquis. Then there was our father and us. I remember that Uncle Wei from Youyang would give me delicious and fun things every year when he gave us festival gifts."

"Okay, Rulan said it very well. Then do you know why Uncle Wei is so good to you and sends you fresh food and gadgets during festivals?"

Sheng Hong asked in a persuasive manner. Rulan scratched her head and said, "Because Uncle Wei likes us!"

"That's just one of the reasons. There are other reasons." Sheng Hong was calm and waited for his daughters to give an answer.

Molan had an answer in her heart, but she felt it was not good to say it out loud. Uncle Wei never stopped giving gifts during the New Year and other festivals. She remembered that her mother once said, "You are in such a hurry to give gifts because you want to curry favor with your father. What good things do you think it is? You send it to him so eagerly." But her mother also said that her father and Uncle Wei had a good relationship, so Molan didn't say anything.

Minglan took the initiative to speak at this time, "Is it because daddy and Uncle Wei are good friends? Because Uncle Wei misses daddy, he always thinks of us, just like grandma loves daddy, so he is also good to us younger generations. I say this is loving the whole family."

Sheng Hong found Minglan's words heartwarming. In his heart, he praised Wei Shuyi for her good teaching. He decided to go see her today and praised Minglan for her good study.

"My family and your uncle Wei's family are all descendants of your great-grandfather. You followed my father in his official duties, while your uncle Wei's family, young and old, did business in his hometown of Youyang. On the surface, we are two families, but in fact, we all have the surname Sheng, and we are in the same family. We prosper together and suffer together. The good relationship between your uncle Wei and my father just shows that our Sheng family is harmonious, which is conducive to the development of our Sheng family.

The prosperity of a family requires the efforts of many generations. My father's generation needs me to do the same. Your uncle Wei has supported the family. In your generation, you need your brothers Changbai and Changfeng to work together with your uncle Wei's Changsong and Changwu to lead our Sheng family further. You sisters should also live in harmony. If the family is honored, each of you will be proud. If one of you does something that brings shame to the family, the rest of the Sheng family will also suffer. You sisters should love

and help each other, and you must not have the intention of persecuting your brothers and sisters. During the Three Kingdoms period, Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, and his brother The fight between Cao Zhi and Cao Pi is a typical example of sibling rivalry. Cao Pi was jealous of Cao Zhi's talent and persecuted him many times after he ascended the throne. The most famous of these was the "Seven-Step Poem" incident, in which Cao Pi ordered Cao Zhi to compose a poem within seven steps, otherwise he would be sentenced to capital punishment. In his heartache, Cao Zhi composed the famous "Seven-Step Poem" within seven steps, from which the famous line "We are of the same roots, why are we so anxious to harm each other" came. When you grow up and start your own family, your brothers and sisters, your in-laws, will be your support. You will rely on them in the future. You support each other and share the difficulties.

As a father, I hope that you will take the family's rise and fall to heart, and I also hope that you will work together. Daddy does not expect you to have the talents of Xie Daoyin and Ban Zhao, but only hopes that you will be sensible and knowledgeable women, and live a peaceful and happy life. "

Sheng Hong taught his daughters for the first time, and he said a lot in excitement. He said these words with Changbai and Changfeng, but never with his daughters. Today, he said too much, and he only hoped that his daughters could understand the good intentions of a father. After Sheng Hong finished speaking, he saw that it was getting late, so he announced the end of the class and hurried to the government office to report for duty.

Molan was most touched by Sheng Hong's class today. She and her mother were not honest enough. Daddy treated them well, but she and her mother often did some dishonest things to please Daddy. Molan felt hot all over and a little guilty. She wanted to be an honest person in the future!

Her mother only told her to take everything into her own hands. No one else could be trusted except her mother. Daddy said that brothers and sisters were her confidence. She had to get along with her sisters and consider the honor and disgrace of the family. This was something Molan had never thought about. Her mother said that she wanted her to be the first among the sisters. Since they had to compete, how could they be friendly and help each other? Molan didn't understand everything, but the seed that Sheng Hong planted in her heart was taking root and sprouting.

Rulan had a nonchalant attitude. She had always respected her father and mother, and loved her elder sister and second brother. She didn't dislike Minglan either. As long as Molan wasn't so annoying, she could get along well with her. As for the family honor and disgrace, she would just follow her elder sister and second brother. She would do whatever they told her to do! Rulan went back to have breakfast with her mother without any burden. She was hungry because she got up too late in the morning and didn't have time to eat.

Minglan and Xiaotao shared snacks and walked back to the courtyard slowly. As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, they couldn't wait to share with Mingxi the lesson Sheng Hong taught them today. Mingxi felt that Sheng Hong was a good father and really considered his daughters.

Minglan kept chattering about how great her father was in front of Mingxi. Anyway, Sheng Hong now had a great image in Minglan's heart, and Mingxi was happy to see her admiring Sheng Hong, if Sheng Hong could always be a good father to her.

In the afternoon, Sheng Hong came to Mingxi after leaving the government office. He didn't like to let anyone know when he came. Sheng Hong looked at the woman sitting on the bed and reading quietly, and felt that the whole world was peaceful and beautiful. No wonder she could teach Minglan such a bright and intelligent daughter. Sheng Hong didn't disturb Mingxi, but stood there and admired silently.

Mingxi had been reading for a long time and wanted to take a break, so she raised her head from the book. Sheng Hong, standing against the light, stood straight, with a handsome face and bright eyes, looking at her with a smile. Mingxi felt that Sheng Hong was extremely handsome at this moment. He was so gentle and elegant that she wanted to drool. Mingxi swallowed her saliva subconsciously and smiled at Sheng Hong like a fool.

Sheng Hong walked over, "Yier, you're staring at me? Are you fascinated by me again?" Sheng Hong teased her intentionally.

Mingxi blurted out, "The man on the street is as beautiful as jade, and there is no one like him in the world!"

Sheng Hong was stunned at first, and then laughed, "Yier's hands are as soft as catkins, her skin is as white as cream, her neck is as white as a cicada, and her teeth are as white as white rhinoceros horn. She is so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of the water and geese fall to the ground, and she is so beautiful that she can shame the moon and flowers!"

Mingxi's reaction was not as happy as Sheng Hong expected. Mingxi touched his face subconsciously, "My lord is used to lying to me, I She didn't even wash herself properly."

Sheng Hong took her hand away from her face, and then looked at her carefully. He felt that she looked much better. She didn't look weak and frail as she had been a few days ago. Now she looked much better. "I have never lied to you. Yi'er looks more like the frail beauty of a sick Xi Shi. It is a different kind of beauty." Mingxi was still very happy in her heart. Praising a woman's beauty is the easiest way to impress her.
