Wang Shi looked at Sheng Siyan's childish round apple face, but when he said such old-fashioned words, he couldn't help laughing, nodded her forehead with his hand, and said angrily: "How can you not take a concubine if you have no children at forty?" There are three unfilial pieties, and there is no queen for the greatest, do you understand? Even if you are willing, your future husband is willing, your husband's ancestors will not be willing. You better not bother with this idleness. ”

Sheng Siyan grabbed Wang's hand and said hurriedly: "Mother, I'm serious!" If...... If...... In the future, I will not be able to give birth to a son, he will be ...... If you want to take a concubine, I'll share it with him! ”

"Divided?" Wang Shiqi said, "What points? Do you say and leave? Stop you, what nonsense are you talking about? I see if you went to Cuizhuxuan and were stumped? Do you want to find a master to collect the surprise? ”

Sheng Siyan lowered his head in discouragement, knowing that he couldn't explain it clearly to the Wang family in this regard, so he had to sigh and hug the Wang family tightly, as if grasping the last straw.

Wang comforted her: "Good, don't think too much, ah? You won't fail to have a son. As long as you can have a son, your husband will not take a concubine. ”

Speaking of which, it is still necessary to have a son.

Sheng Siyan has never hated his "son" so much......

Is a daughter bad? Isn't a daughter a human being?

The daughter is still the mother's little padded jacket!

The sons are all married to daughters-in-law and forget their mothers!

Sheng Siyan secretly slandered in his heart, but he didn't mention it anymore.

After Sheng Qiye came back, he also went to Cuizhuxuan to sit down, put incense on the Tu family, and called the people in the house, saying that the funeral would be carried out in seven days after the spirit was stopped, and buried in the cemetery of the Sheng family's ancestral tomb specially for the concubines who gave birth to children.

The day when Old Man Wu came to the Shengguo Mansion coincided with the day when the Sheng family gave the Tu family a funeral.

Sheng Qiye, Wang and Sheng Siyan were only sent to the door. The rest of the way was sent by Tu's three children.

The identities of Sheng Qiye, Wang and Sheng Siyan are higher than those of Tu. It would be nice to deliver it to the door.

After Tu's funeral, Sheng Qiye ordered the steward to put away those funerals.

A concubine. Seven days of mourning are enough.

Sheng Siyan only now understood what Wang meant when he said "a concubine is a thing".

No matter from the perspective of etiquette or people's hearts, the status of a concubine is too low.

Not only is the status low, but there is no guarantee at all, and the only thing you can rely on is the favor of men.

But it is really rare for a man to have a sincere heart for a concubine. Those who have sincerity and can be sincere for a long time are simply rare. Only in the zài biography book, I have never seen real people and real things.

No matter how unfavored the ladies of the main room are, men don't dare to really treat them, life and glory and death can be guaranteed.

Old Man Wu went to Sheng Guogong's Mansion to sit down, said a few words to Sheng Qi, and said: "I originally thought that you would stop until after May Seven before going out of the funeral, but I didn't expect it to come out in seven days." Then we will not wait that long, and the day of the feast will be set in ten days. What do you think? ”

Sheng Qiye hurriedly got up and shook himself on the ground, and said, "Thank you Shibo for your help." Without the help of you and the other two uncles, my Sheng family would have really broken off the bloodline. ”

The four princes of the four major families have known each other since childhood, and they move around very closely. This is a world friend. Old Man Wu, Old Man Zheng and Old Man Zhou are partners who have played since childhood, and their relationship is more intimate.

Old Man Wu changed his image of treating wealth as his life in front of others, and said solemnly to Sheng Qiye: "Virtuous nephews don't have to be polite. We, too, are cold-lipped. The Sheng family was the same as the three of us. They are all the founding heroes, but they will be destroyed when they say they will be destroyed. Who doesn't chill on you? You must know that the ancestors of this Great Xia Dynasty once swore a blood oath with the ancestors of our four major families. It is necessary for the four major families and the Great Xia royal family to live and die together. If the Sheng family really breaks off their existence, they will violate the ancestral blood oath, and they will suffer great consequences! ”

This is also the reason why the Queen Mother acquiesced to Sheng Qiye returning to the capital and inheriting the title.

When Sheng Qi returned to Beijing and wanted to seek justice for the Sheng family, the first person he looked for was the old man Zhou of the Divine General's Mansion.

Old Man Zhou called Old Man Wu and Old Man Zheng to discuss countermeasures together.

But at that time, the Queen Mother was extremely tough, and General Zhou had just taken office at that time, standing on the side of the Queen Mother, these three old men could not compete with them, so they could only persuade Sheng Qi to go away and fly high first, and come back when they found a way to treat Emperor Xia Ming.

Sheng Qi later lived in the capital for a while, and did not leave the capital until the matter with the Wang family was opposed by Wang's father.

Fifteen years have passed.

Sheng Qi hurriedly said: "I am the only one left in our Sheng family, and I hope that Shi Bo will take care of me in the future." ”

Old Man Wu nodded, took out an envelope from the bottom of his sleeve, and said, "This is the shares that your father bought with me back then, and it is the interest of these years, you can take it." Every year after that, I will send someone to send the dividends. ”

Sheng Qi took the envelope, opened it, and was stunned.

"Ten million taels of silver?! ――Wouldn't you? My father ...... "Sheng Qi couldn't believe that his father could store so much silver in Wu Guogong's place.

"If you don't believe me, you must also believe in silver!" Old Man Wu stood up, deliberately puffed out his eyes, and made a very angry look, "I'm such a dime and a dime, can I let you take a penny from me for nothing?!" ”

"That's not what I meant!" Sheng Qi hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It's just that this number is too big, I ...... it."

"Okay, you won't use it, keep it for your wife. Butler Director, she's better than you. You are also a good fortune, the blessings accumulated by the Sheng family for so many years have fallen on you, you must be cautious, and you can't make mistakes again. "Old Man Wu said meaningfully.

"I understand, I understand." Sheng Qi hurriedly bowed and replied.

When Old Man Wu was leaving, he reminded him again: "Ten days later, it will be the dust feast, you must come!" Remember to bring your wife and eldest lady over. What's your girl's name? I heard from the daughter-in-law of the Changge Pavilion that it was very powerful. She took the first place in the exam that year, and I found out that she turned out to be your daughter. ”

Sheng Qiye knew that at that time, there was a school in Wangjia Village, where Wang and Sheng Siyan lived, that was funded by Grandma Zheng.

Sheng Siyan took the first test. As a result, Grandma Zheng suspected that she was related to the Sheng family, so she asked Wu Changge to ask Old Man Wu to help check the details of the Wang family and Sheng Siyan.

Old Man Wu found out that it was related to Sheng Qi when he checked it. quietly helped Sheng Qi hide it, and even deceived his son and daughter-in-law. just said that it didn't matter, let them not think about it, and later secretly helped the Wang family, all the herbs she sold, the old man Wu asked the Wu family's shop to buy them at a high price.

Because of this incident, Sheng Qi inherited the favor of Old Man Wu very much. He sent Old Man Wu out all the way, and said with a smile: "Wu Shibo has helped them all these years, and I am grateful." ”

Old Man Wu was a little embarrassed and hurriedly looked around. Then he lowered his voice and said to Sheng Qi: "You have to swear about this matter, and you can't say it to anyone." ”

"Why is that?" Sheng Qi was very surprised, "You are an upright person who helps others, why do you want to hide it?" ”

Old man Wu said secretly, if you let others know, my stupid son will make trouble with me again for his daughter-in-law, don't I want to have a restless house? Don't they all say that they are not stupid or deaf, and they don't want to be a family?

"In short, more is better than less. You know it, I know it. No one in my family knows, but if they do. It's also a big eyebrow lawsuit. My old man is old, and he just wants to live a few comfortable days, so you don't want to trouble me. Old Man Wu said very implicitly.

Sheng Qi thought about it and understood. Busy said: "I know, I will not say it to others, it will rot in my stomach." ”

Old Man Wu nodded with a smile. Leaving the Shengguo Mansion and going back to his Wu Mansion

Soon. The dust washing feast held by the Duke of Wu for the return of Sheng Guogong has become the most lively event in the late autumn of the capital of Great Xia.

An invitation written by Grandma Zheng. It's hard to find, and there are people in the major families who want to buy it at a high price.

Wang thought that this was Sheng Siyan's first appearance at the high gate of the family in the capital, so he asked for favors to find the most powerful embroidery girl in the capital, made a guest dress for Sheng Siyan, and took out a high price to buy jewelry for Sheng Siyan.

Sheng Siyan didn't know that her father and mother had just made a windfall, and she was very grateful for those exquisite satins and expensive jewelry.

"Mother, this red gold double spoon is very good-looking, you don't need that gold diamond-inlaid phoenix to shake." Sheng Siyan is very sensible to choose cheap jewelry.

When Wang saw it, he ironed it again, and he was sad, so he hugged Sheng Siyan and said, "Siyan, don't worry, my father and mother still have the money to give you a few pieces of jewelry." These things are not expensive, so let's wrap them all. ”

Sheng Siyan looked at Wang without blinking, and was about to buy 50,000 taels of silver jewelry, and couldn't help but say, "Mother, you really don't need to be so valuable." ”

Fifty thousand taels!

Swap it for silver nuggets and fill half a room.

Wouldn't it crush her to death if she wore it all on her head and body?!

Sheng Siyan refused to ask for it, and said hurriedly: "Mother, you really don't need to buy these things for me." It's enough to buy a little one, buy so much, you want to insert me into a bonsai! ”

Wang was amused by her and laughed, "What is inserted into a bonsai?" You kid is so good at talking nonsense! However, Sheng Siyan said that even if she bought it, she wouldn't wear it, and the Wang family finally compromised and only bought a half-moon hairpin, spending 5,000 taels of silver.

The hairpin was a figure-eight strand made of eighteen strands of thin gold wire, and then the hairpin head was inlaid with gold wire diamonds. In the middle, a big gold wire diamond the size of a little finger, surrounded by a circle of small gold wire diamonds as small as rice grains, forming a half-moon shape of the stars and the moon, the shape is very interesting, and it is subtle and elegant. The shopkeeper also said that there was only this hairpin in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, and he felt that he would not "collide with others".

Sheng Siyan really liked this half-moon hairpin, so he agreed to buy it.

In addition, Wang picked out a pair of earrings for her, and a red gold phoenix pattern ring.

These two are the jewelry of the ten-year-old girl of the Great Xia Dynasty, and they are very suitable for Sheng Siyan's mind when they wear them without revealing mountain dew.

And these two things together are only one hundred taels of silver, Sheng Siyan felt that he could still afford it, so he didn't stop the Wang family.

Back at the Shengguo Mansion, Sheng Siyan said goodbye to the Wang family and returned to his Womei Xuan with the jewelry he bought today.

saw that the eldest sister Sheng Ningfang was already sitting in her room waiting for her.

"Why don't you serve tea to the second lady?" Sheng Siyan ordered the big girl Mu Hibiscus to take the things to the back room and put them down, while asking the maid Begonia who stayed at home to guard the door.

Haitang said with a smile: "The second lady said that her stomach was about to rise after drinking, so that the slave didn't have to serve tea anymore." ”

"Oh, that's good. Don't snub Miss Two. Sheng Siyan said with a smile, and took a sip of the teacup.

Sheng Ningfang bit her lower lip and asked, "Sister, what are you doing when you go out?" Why don't you take me there? ”

Sheng Siyan raised his eyebrows and said, "I went out and bought some things from my mother." What do you have to use? Make an order, and I'll ask someone to buy it for you. ”

Sheng Ningfang's eyes flickered, and she asked tentatively, "Eldest sister, can't I go out and buy it myself?" ”

"You're still in filial piety, so it's not easy to go out." Sheng Siyan said lightly. She was a little tired from a day's walk outside. -- Shopping also requires a physical body. Her body is just too bad. Sheng Siyan slapped his waist with his hand.

"Eldest sister, I heard that the Wu family, the God of Wealth, held a dust washing feast for our father, and invited our family to go. But I don't even have any clothes or jewelry to go out. Sheng Ningfang finally said what she meant.

Sheng Siyan was very surprised and said, "I said that you are still in filial piety, and you can't go out as a guest." "Who's going to wear new clothes and jewelry?

"But Grandma Zheng sent me and my two younger brothers posts." Sheng Ningfang said confidently.

This is the first watch, 3,500 words, and there is a second watch in the afternoon. Everyone's pink tickets seem to have dried up, huh? What about referral tickets?

…… (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you, Lord see_an Alliance, for the fairy fate that floated yesterday. Thank you to the Enigmayanxi Alliance Lord for the reward yesterday. Thank you to Kaneko for dreaming of the peach blossom fan that you rewarded yesterday. Thank you for the peace charm you gave yesterday.

In addition, when it comes to the phrase "there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest", I know that there are other explanations on the Internet recently, saying that this sentence does not mean that no offspring is the biggest unfilial piety, but that the so-called marrying without telling parents is the biggest unfilial piety. I think this explanation is very unreliable. Because since ancient times, the interpretation of Mencius's sentence has been based on orthodox Confucian classics, such as the "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics", which is also written into the law, and it is also a compulsory scripture for the imperial examination. So many ancient sages and Confucians all agree with the explanation that "no offspring is the greatest unfilial piety", and no one has ever put forward such a strange explanation for modern people. I think that the ancient Confucian's understanding of ancient texts is more thorough than that of modern people, so I still choose the traditional interpretation of "unfilial piety has three, and no queen is great". The kind of new explanation that has emerged on the Internet can be seen as a joke, and it doesn't have to be taken seriously.
