"No matter what the Kang family does, the Kang family is your aunt's family, your sister's family, your sister's family. You can teach, admonish, and even punish, but you can't leave their family alone."
Listening to these words, you can tell that Mrs. Wang doesn't understand Aunt Kang's style at all.
But even if she knew, the old lady still thought it was not Wang Ruoyu's fault.
Even if it is Wang Ruoyu's fault, he should be forgiven.
Sticking to your own ideas is to let the Sheng and Wang families continue to fill the bottomless hole of the Kang family.
"It's not like we haven't tried this before. Not to mention that in the early years, everyone wrote to the Kang family to warn them. Since the Kang family came to Beijing, both my father, mother, and grandson and I have always advised Aunt Kang to do something.
Stay true to your duties and be a down-to-earth person.
But what is the result? How the Kang family acted before and how they still act now.
The old lady should know how many lives were lost in the back house of the Kang family and how many people were carried out. In the past few years, my uncle had been kind to me.
After arriving in Beijing, Aunt Kang started to lend loan money again, and she even took my mother with her to do it. Fortunately, I stopped her in time and didn't let my mother follow suit and cause a big disaster to the family.
Then let’s talk about how Aunt Kang recently arranged for the concubines to be born in the family. Either they marry the concubines of the family to officials as concubines, or they marry them to landlords in the countryside for a clear price to fill houses. This is a scholarly family, the head of a famous family.
Madam, what should I do?
If these advices were useful, the Kang family would not behave like this after so many years."
If you want to talk about the ridiculous things that Kang's Aunt Wang Ruoyu has done, you can't even finish them in a short while.
Time is limited, so to make a long story short, Sheng Changbai can only pick out representative things and talk about a few.
It can be said that Wang Ruoyu has made himself a joke among the officials and their female relatives.
No matter how embarrassing it is, this family will do something.
If Mrs. Wang hadn't asked the Sheng family to help, Sheng Changbai would not have bothered with the Kang family.
Even if the Kang family committed a crime of rebellion, it would not implicate the Sheng family. How could Sheng Changbai control the Kang family's heart?
"Mom, have you seen that even a junior like Sheng Changbai can be blamed by me?"
If the old mother was not around, Aunt Kang would definitely come back and confront Sheng Changbai.
But with her old mother by her side, Aunt Kang changed her approach and chose to file a complaint.
"What my aunt said is wrong. I am not saying this to criticize my aunt. I am just stating the facts so that the old lady can understand. It's not that the Sheng and Wang families don't want to help the Kang family, it's that the Kang family really can't help them."
Sheng Changbai replied calmly, although Wang Ruoyu was so angry that he almost jumped up, but Sheng Changbai was really not angry.
She is not a person of the same class at all. Aunt Kang is not looked down upon by Sheng Changbai, so how can she be angry.
"Don't tell me this, I'm just going to ask you if you still miss the blood relationship between brothers and sisters, and if you can help the Kang family restore their family reputation and business."
The old lady did not respect martial ethics, bullied young people, relied on her elders, and did not follow Sheng Changbai's words at all.
Put aside all the faults of the Kang family and just talk about blood and family ties, that is, the eldest son and the younger daughter should help the eldest daughter.
"Mom, I will try my best to help my eldest sister revive the Kang family."
The old lady said so, so Uncle Wang could only agree.
Although Uncle Wang has average talents, he is still a good person. The most important thing is that he also knows how to be filial.
In the generation of the old man, the Wang family has been honored as a grand master and has become a generation of nobles.
If you want the family inheritance to last for a long time, it is not suitable for generations of dignitaries. It is too easy to be jealous of the old Zhao emperor who is seriously ill.
Being a prominent person for decades and dormant for decades is the way to survive for most aristocratic families.
That's why high-ranking officials in the Zhou Dynasty liked to train their own sons-in-law.
Many high-ranking officials come from wealthy families with a large number of descendants.
Each generation has dozens or even hundreds of children. It is not because the family has no future children that they all train outsiders.
According to the way of survival of a large family, Uncle Wang, the head of the Wang family, is actually quite qualified in all aspects.
"We also try our best to help my sister's family."
Wang Ruofu usually barks and is very aggressive at home, but he can't be tough with his old mother.
Wang Ruofu's confidence in being arrogant for so many years comes from the Wang family, and of course he cannot be at odds with the Wang family.
"Brother Bai, what did you say?"
After the eldest son and the youngest daughter expressed their opinions, the old lady named Sheng Changbai again.
Probably because Sheng Changbai was already an official and had a powerful Yue family, so he had his own political resources.
"Old lady, with this situation in the Kang family, if we want to revitalize the family name and revitalize the family, we can only rely on the next generation. When Brother Jin has a son and wants to go to school, I can help recommend a better family. 's academy."
Also thinking that the Wang family was too kind to the Sheng family, Sheng Changbai did not deal with the old lady.
He really proposed a practical method. Both generations of the Kang family were crippled by Uncle Kang.
If you want to turn around, you can only rely on the next generation, which actually doesn't take long.
In twenty years, it will be time for the next generation to take the imperial examination.
As long as a good-ranking Jinshi emerges, the Kang family's momentum can be restored by more than half.
The Kang family will not be able to survive the past twenty years. To say that the Kang family has no money is to speak relatively speaking.
If the Kang family would not use money to get favors and appoint officials, nor would they use vanity to maintain dignity beyond their own strength.
The Kang family is still richer than some squire and landlords.
If you can't maintain a luxurious life, you can still maintain a prosperous life.
In fact, if they live a peaceful life, the Kang family's property is completely enough to maintain the family's life, and there is no real need for assistance.
Even if they support them, they will only support the Kang family's extravagance and debauchery.
"Oh...you guys should just leave." Seeing Sheng Changbai's lack of commitment, the old lady felt tired and sighed, waving her hands and starting to chase them away.
"Then mother, you should rest early. You have been working hard on the journey. We will come to see you in a few days." Wang Ruofu replied.
After not seeing each other for a long time, the old lady showed up to Wang Ruofu. She didn't have the affection between mother and daughter at all, and Wang Ruofu was quite disappointed.
Uncle Wang's work arrangements have not been settled so quickly, and his political career has almost come to an end.
When I returned to Beijing this time, I was almost transferred to the second line and would not be given any important assignments.
Probably because the imperial court looked after the old master, and Uncle Wang had been busy for the imperial court all his life, he was promoted to the first level, spent some time in the second line, and retired in a dignified manner.
This political system was well inherited by later generations.
After finishing all these things, the first year of Zhiping passed away. The reign title could not tell much about the political clarity and the stability of the world.
If you really want to count, it may be Zhao Zongquan, the Queen Mother who used the rebellion against the king to purge many courtiers.
When everyone is in danger, the situation of neglect and corruption has indeed been restrained.
In terms of overall administrative efficiency, there has not actually been much improvement.
During the Chinese New Year, King Huan and Gu Tingye were on a salt inspection tour.
She really couldn't come back, so Sheng Changbai took Sister Rong back to his home for the New Year.
This child is actually quite good. During the critical period of growth, Gu Tingye's personality changed and he became more restrained. At the same time, he left Zhu Manniang and did not grow crooked.
The child's own personality, apart from some introversion, has nothing wrong with it, and is quite rare.
The two younger women in the family, Hai Chaoyun and Minglan, both get along well with Sister Rong.
King Huan took Gu Tingye with him, and the two of them headed south, passed Huainan, and reached Jiangnan.
Going all the way south, the place was in a state of chaos.
Things like illicit salt production are inevitably caused by collusion between officials and businessmen, and local officials colluding with local powerful people.
He is regarded as a local bully in the local area, and he is used to being domineering in everything he does.
If you want to take money out of these people's pockets, you won't be able to do it just by talking.
The two men traveled south in a bloody and bloody way, killing each other, exiled each other, impeached and deposed all the way.
Although these two people live in the south of the Yangtze River, they still affect the hearts of all the princes in Bianliang.
Because there are so many people involved here, but I am not involved.
There is always someone involved, including relatives, friends and old friends, and it is always important to know how far the emperor and Prince Huan will pursue this matter.
It’s the end of white-glove digging that reaches the surface, but we’re still ready to dig deep into the backing behind it.
Do you just want to collect this year's salt tax, or do you want to track down previous arrears?
The salt tax is now considered the biggest event in the court, so the entire court is always paying attention to King Huan, Gu Tingye and their entourage.
In the south, King Huan and Gu Tingye were causing a lot of excitement, and then something happened in the capital.
"Changbai, something big has happened. The British Duke's daughter died in childbirth. Now there will be unrest in the court." Sheng Hong came back from a party that day and pulled up Sheng Changbai and exclaimed.
"The daughter of the British Duke, Shen Zhang?" There was no reason for contact between the two parties, and Sheng Changbai didn't react for a moment.
Then I remembered that this British father-in-law's only daughter married Shen Congxing to fill a house.
This is the first important marriage given by Zhao Zongquan.
It is also a key step for Zhao Zongquan's Yuzhou gang to integrate into the old ranks of Bianliang.
Of course, this is also the benchmark for old nobles to actively move closer to Zhao Zongquan.
He was already the top dignitary of the Zhou Dynasty, but he was still willing to give up his own daughter.
It was given to a middle-aged widower to fill in his house. Of course, this British father was also a ruthless man.
Shen Congxing has already given birth to a legitimate son in the early stage, and the child who fills the house will basically not inherit anything from the family.
Of course, we cannot generalize it to Gu Tingye and Qi Heng, who married a wife and left nothing behind.
"The British prince only has this one legitimate daughter, how can he have other daughters." Sheng Hong replied affirmatively.
"Shen Congxing's love for the Holy Spirit is strong. Even the imperial doctor and Wen Po in the palace call her at will. How could she make it difficult for her to give birth?"
"The specific situation has not been revealed. It is only vaguely rumored that Shen Zhang was harmed by the Zou family."
Although the medical conditions in ancient times were not good, the medical treatment of the powerful was still much better than that of the common people.
"Bianliang is really a land of disputes, and there will never be peace for long. I'm going to tell my mother to take care of my family during this time."
If something big happens in Bianliang, the first thing to do is to take care of yourself.
To prevent possible military disasters, first of all, family members should go out less often, and then bring others to guard the doors of their homes.
After all, before Gu Tingye became the first person in the military, the British Duke was already the first person in the military during the old emperor's period.
Gu Tingye inherited some military prestige through his family background in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, but it was far less than the British Duke's decades of hard work in the military.
In terms of influence among soldiers, Gu Tingye is not as powerful as the British public.
The old lady of the soldier leader is dead, and I don't know what kind of trouble will be caused.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me, my daughter died unjustly!"
In the morning of the next day, after the ceremony was completed, and before the court officials could report various situations, the British Duke stood up, knelt down and cried to the emperor.
At that time, Zhao Zongquan's expression changed. After all, he was the emperor. He had a secret service agency like the Imperial City Division under him, and Sheng Hong could know the news. There was no reason why the emperor didn't know:
"I love you, get up and speak first. If you have any grievances, I will make the decision for you."
"I want to sue Shen Congxing for spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife. He indulged his concubine Zou and killed my daughter. One body and two lives. Your Majesty, they died miserably."
An old man shed tears directly in the court. He had to let this happen, and the British ministers sympathized with him after he had been in the court for decades.
"Shen Congxing!" Zhao Zongquan shouted angrily.
Zhao Zongquan was obviously not pretending to be angry with his brother-in-law this time.
Zhao Zongquan's already good situation was completely ruined by Shen Congxing.
"Your Majesty, Uncle Shen Guo did not come to court today."
If your wife dies, of course you have to ask for leave. It is normal practice not to come to court.
"Go, bring me here." He sent someone directly to find Shen Congxing.
Waiting for the court, after the usual report was completed, Shen Congxing was also brought over.
The emperor insisted on giving his brother-in-law a large mansion close to the imperial city. The usefulness showed, and he found someone quickly.
"Your Majesty, I am already dealing with Zhang's funeral affairs."
Shen Congxing is not stupid, of course he knows why he is called here.
Even if you don't know, the soldiers who call for help will remind you.
"How did you deal with it?" Zhao Zongquan asked.
It's not that Sheng Changbai has a dark heart, but no matter how I listen to it, I feel that there is some synergy in the conversation between the brother-in-law and his brother-in-law.
"Try your best and have a grand burial."
This is Shen Congxing's way of fooling the people.
Because of the rich and powerful, civilians died. The result of the rich and powerful's decision was to pay more and give the deceased a better funeral.
Because these two people are completely married for politics, there is really no relationship between this couple.
"No need, I want to take my daughter back. We will bury it ourselves, not your Shen family. Your Majesty, I request that the murderer be severely punished and my daughter be given justice."
Looking up and down the hall, my brother-in-law and brother-in-law sang together.
The British Duke knelt down to the emperor again. It was hard to say whether this kneeling had any effect on the Emperor. At least the courtiers sympathized with the British Duke.
He was really angry and said that he would not let Mr. Zhang be buried in the Shen family.
Even if I die, I don't want to have anything to do with the Shen family anymore.
"Shen Congxing, let me ask you, have you investigated clearly about Zhang's death from dystocia?"
