Chapter 90 Visitation (Pink 240+)

  Wang's eyes narrowed at Sheng Siyan, "Look at you, so...!"

  "...Men, you can't reason with them. A knife won't cut unless it cuts into flesh; they won't understand until they see their own thoughts are unreasonable."

  Otherwise, I would still be dreaming of a happy family without distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate children.

  Actually, the order of a family depends entirely on the man.

  As long as the man of this family knows what's good for him and understands the difference between legitimate and illegitimate, even if he has a concubine or children with her, it's not a big deal.

  Every aristocratic family in the Great Xia Dynasty had concubines and children born of them, but not every family was plagued by bitter struggles between wives and concubines.

  The vast majority of people mind their own business.

  Very few families occasionally produce a case of concubine killing wife, which can make everyone talk about it for a long time.

  Because it's too rare, once something like this happens, it becomes a big deal, making everyone feel surprised and amused, becoming the topic of conversation after dinner.

  To know that a concubine bought back with several taels of silver dares to compete with the legitimate wife who was married through proper rituals, it must be a man with water in his brain backing her up from behind.

  However, the situation of the Sheng family was extremely rare, so Wang used a gradual approach to let Sheng Qiye gradually realize the serious consequences of not distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate children.

  From Tu's arrogance to Sheng Ningfang and Sheng Ningsong's overbearingness, all of which were seen by Sheng Qiye with his own eyes as inappropriate.

  Moreover, the situation of "not distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate" is better on wives and concubines, but the most serious is towards children.

  If legitimate and illegitimate children are treated equally, it will give the illegitimate children unrealistic illusions, which is not good for them, but rather harms them.

  "Remember, don't argue with men over trivial matters, and don't try to persuade them with reason alone. They only submit to heaven, earth, ruler, parents, and teachers. They won't willingly listen to the teachings of a woman by their side. You can be understanding, gentle, playful, or even throw a tantrum for show, but whatever you do, don't try to reason with him. Once you start reasoning, you've lost, and you won't achieve any practical effect." Wang said solemnly.

  Sheng Siyan blinked and whispered: "Mother, how do you know so much?"

  Wang smiled and said, "This was taught by my mother. I think it's very useful. So now I'm teaching you."

  "But why can't you be reasonable? Father is always reasonable. As long as Mother says something, he will listen." Sheng Siyan asked in confusion.

  The Wang lady smiled and shook her head, adjusting the sable-lined cloak on her body. "A woman's logic is different from a man's," she said. "Just like what happened today, if I were to nag your father every day about the importance of distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate children, he would definitely not want to listen, and would be as stubborn as a mule. If I say east, he will think west. Even if he listened to me temporarily, he would eventually become resentful. But now that I let his illegitimate children show off in front of him, he immediately understands. In the relationship between legitimate and illegitimate children, it's impossible to be completely impartial. As humans, we all have desires, and it's normal for people to want more after getting something. It's better to make things clear from the start. Let the illegitimate children understand their position, know what they can get and what they can't touch, in order to maintain order within a household."

  Sheng Siyan's face was filled with worry and anxiety. He said: "......Unfortunately, it's a bit late."

  Sheng Ningfang and Sheng Ningsong, these two people, are probably hard to correct.

  "It doesn't matter. Those two are just ignorant, can't blame others. Ning Bai is actually quite sensible, I will cultivate him well." Wang said, rubbing her belly.

  Sheng Siyan also looked at Wang's belly and said: "Mother, are you really going to have many children?"

  "Being able to give birth is of course better than not being able to, unless one can't anymore." Mrs. Wang said with a smile.

  At the mere thought of giving birth, Sheng Siyan felt a chill run down her spine.

  In her previous life, she spent most of her time in the hospital. The little friends around her grew up, got married and had children, but she could only send them blessings...

  Sheng Siyan shook her head and threw away everything from before.

  She is now a healthy child. Everything that women have to go through, she has to experience from head to toe, in order not to waste this life.

  Whoosh!

  A string of beautiful fireworks burst in the night sky.

  Sheng Qiye brought his servants to set off firecrackers and fireworks in the large open space at the entrance of the courtyard.

  So beautiful and charming, with a captivating charm in the night sky, was Sheng Siyan's first year in the Sheng Guo Gongfu.

  ……

  According to the Daxia Imperial Dynasty's customs, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, one cannot visit relatives.

  Sheng Siyan stayed in Wang's room for a whole day and didn't return to her own Womei Xuan until evening.

  The second day of the second month is the day when married daughters return to their parents' home.

  The Sheng family only had them now, the four children of the Sheng family were still young and unmarried, so they didn't accompany their wives to visit their fathers-in-law or bring their husbands back to their maternal homes.

  The Dalit Temple sent someone to pick up Wang and Sheng Qiye, saying that the Dalit Temple was ill again and asked Wang and Sheng Qiye to "make a diagnosis".

  The Wang family originally had sons except for Wang Sugong.

  So it was just right for the second day of junior high school.

  The elder brothers of the Wang family all accompanied their wives back to their hometown, leaving only Wang Zhiquan and his wife at home, who used "visiting relatives" as an excuse to bring their daughter and son-in-law back home as guests.

  Sheng Siyan was still "nursing her injuries", so she didn't go with them, and instead stayed in her own Wu Mei Xuan, learning to tie knots with a few maids.

  Her fingers were extremely agile, and she was clever. After watching for a while, she could turn out those patterns, and she could also infer and innovate, turning out many new patterns.

  The maids were so excited that they shouted loudly, and let Sheng Siyan teach them.

  Mugwort smiled and said: "The big girl's injury hasn't fully recovered yet, can't afford to get upset." And then said: "Doukou, how many kinds have you learned? Teach everyone!"

  Doukou is actually a second-rate maid sent by Wangshi to replace Haitang.

  Sheng Siyan gazed at her with a cold eye, seeing that she was actually very clever and agile, good at reading people's expressions, especially eloquent.

  But as for her character, she still doesn't dare to vouch for it.

  At first, Haitang wasn't very clever? And she was more capable than Doukou, but in the end, she was sold for a handful of gold...

  Sheng Siyan was pondering the matter in her heart. She handed the skipping rope in her hand to Doukou and said, "You take it and play with everyone else. The incense here is making me dizzy. I want to go out for a walk."

  Mu Ge heard that, and hurriedly handed over the large cloak of Wu Yun Bao to Sheng Siyan. Concerned, she said: "Big miss, outside is freezing cold, where are you going? Why not go let the small kitchen make some porridge dishes to eat as a snack before going out?"

  When it's cold, you need to eat well to resist the cold.

  Sheng Siyan said: "Let them prepare mutton pot. Wait for parents to come back at night and have a good meal. - You go out with me first."

  Mugun agreed and asked the old woman to go to the small kitchen to prepare a mutton hot pot, while also taking out an obsidian clouded leopard's Guanyin pendant for Sheng Siyan to wear.

  Doukou demonstrated how to flip the rope with the maids beside her, but she didn't forget to pay attention to Sheng Siyan's side.

  She saw her going out with Mugun, Doukou hurriedly stuffed the rope into a good servant girl's hand and followed her out in a hurry. She said: "Big sister, I'll go out with you and Sister Mugun too."

  Sheng Siyan thought for a moment and felt that it was better to have more people take care of things, so he nodded and said: "Then you go, who will be in charge of this house?"

  This means treating her as a big sister, Doukou was overjoyed when she heard it, and hurriedly said: "Xieren has been watching the door all along. Big sister can rest assured."

  Sheng Siyan pursed her lips and smiled, "Then let's go."

  She took the wooden comb and the bean paste and left Womuxuan, walking up the mountain corridor.

  The Shengguo Gongfu was somewhat desolate on winter days.

  Tall trees stand bare. Branches stretch out in all directions, pointing into the air, like abstract paintings with horizontal and vertical lines that people will see in the future.

  Sheng Siyan walked silently in a southwest direction without making a sound.

  Doukou looked in that direction as if he was going to Haitang's place to recover from his injuries, and glanced at Mugou with some unease.

  Muxin followed behind Sheng Siyan with a humble and obedient expression, seemingly indifferent to where they were going.

  Doukou could only lower his head and remain silent. He followed Sheng Siyan's footsteps, just like Muxin did.

  Three people followed by two women went all the way to Haitang's place to treat his injuries.

  The wife of the housekeeper saw that Sheng Siyan had arrived and hurried out to greet her. She asked, "It's so cold outside, Miss, have you come to see the peach blossoms?"

  Sheng Siyan nodded. "How has Haitang been lately?"

  "It's much better now. Yesterday she was already up and walking around in the courtyard." The old woman said with a smile.

  Sheng Siyan knew that Hai Tang's injury was actually not serious, but in order to appease the Empress Dowager, she had no choice but to "rest and recover".

  "Take me in and have a look." Sheng Siyan nodded towards the courtyard.

  The old woman hastily opened the gate of the courtyard.

  Sheng Siyan supported Mu Jin's hand and went in.

  Upon entering the main hall, a warm fragrance wafted over me.

  Doukou wrinkled her nose and said: "It smells so good!"

  Sheng Siyan smiled slightly. It seems that Haitang is really doing well. —— Mother has indeed invested a lot...

  Mu Ge couldn't help but look up and take a glance, suddenly inhaling a breath of cold air. —— This house is not much different from the one where my elder sister lives.

  Mugun came here for the first time. Seeing that the furniture in the house was all made of purple sandalwood, shining with oil.

  On the four-legged high shelf in the corner of the wall, a narcissus in a white jade basin was placed, and under the steaming heat, it had already bloomed.

  On the right-hand side of the moon gate hung a pink-green flowered cotton door curtain.

  The old woman followed in and called out inside the Moon Gate: "Little Liu'er, Big Sister has come to see the Sea Pink."

  A seven or eight year old little maid who had just put up her hair opened the pink and green flowered door curtain from inside, smiled at the people outside, "Big sister, Musi sister, Doukou sister."

  Sheng Siyan nodded slightly and didn't mean to go in, but asked: "Is Haitang's injury better?"

  Xiao Liu'er smiled and said: "Much better." Then urged her: "Come in, big girl."

  Sheng Siyan shook his head, "No, I still have something to do. I just came over to see how she's doing." He paused for a moment, then said: "As long as I see that she's doing well, I'll be at ease." With that, he turned and left.

  Xiao Liu was stunned and looked back at the Haitang in the doorway with some confusion.

  She was combing her hair into a bun and lying half-reclined on the kang by the window, with no intention of getting up.

  Doukou was about to leave when she saw Haitang's appearance from the small willow door curtain that had been raised, and she snorted and muttered: "......not seen for a few days, this young lady's demeanor is even more sufficient than the eldest sister..."
