Chapter 908 One corpse, two lives

"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.
