Chapter 350: In-laws
The Shen family only left two sons and one daughter that year, Shen Zhenghai, the eldest son of the big house, Shen Zhenghe in the second room, and the only girl in the Shen family, Shen Zhengqing in the second room.
The in-laws of the Shen family, the best is the Zhenguo Mansion that Shen Zhengqing married into.
The second elder wife of the Shen family, the Zhong family, the eldest lady of the Shen family, the Shi family, and the third wife of the Shen family, the Dong family, are all from ordinary families in Nanyang.
The Shen family moved to Beijing, and the first few years were embarrassing, and even if the poor relatives in the countryside wanted to come to get wet, they didn't dare to entrust their net worth because of Zhou Guifei's favor.
When the nephew of the Shen family ascended the throne, in the past two years, the in-laws of the Shen family have come to Beijing, not to mention, and even some distant relatives who have turned an unknown number of bends have also been found.
The first to make trouble was the maiden family of the Shen family's eldest lady, Shi.
Shi's father is a landed talent, he has tried and failed, and his heart has long been gone, and later he has children and grandchildren, and he let his children and grandchildren study, thinking that one day he will be able to get ahead.
The children and grandchildren have not yet come to prominence, but they did not expect that the in-laws married by their daughters have soared and become relatives of the emperor.
Shi's father was the first of the Shen family's in-laws to bring his children and grandchildren into Beijing, and after entering Beijing, the Shi family only visited the Shen family, but did not borrow the power of the Shen family.
Shi's father is the whole family, the house and land in Nanyang were sold, and he bought a small house in a slightly remote place in the capital, and a family of more than a dozen people lived in it.
Shi knew that his father was taking the whole family into Beijing, so he was naturally not at ease, so he would send someone to see it every once in a while, and he would also take the child with Shen Zhenghai to send a festival gift during the New Year's holidays.
Although the Shi family lives in a remote area, the Shen family often sends people to visit the Shi family, and the people in the capital get the news.
It's okay at first, when Chen Jianye ascends the throne, the Shen family keeps a low profile and avoids guests, but the Shi family, as the in-laws of the Shen family, can't also close the door like the Shen family.
The Shi family has three sons and two daughters, and the three sons married and gave birth to nine grandsons and three granddaughters, which can be regarded as a prosperous family.
The yard they bought was originally not big, and it was not easy to live in a family of 20 people.
It is not easy to live in the capital, and no one wants to return to their hometown to live the original life.
The three sons of the Shi family studied hard at home, and several grandchildren were also sent to the school in Beijing.
The ladies of the Shi family relied on sewing and mending, embroidering to make purses, and they could also exchange some money.
Shi's father is healthy and healthy, although the family has a large population, the house is crowded, and there are constant small contradictions, but fortunately, the three brothers of the Shi family have deep feelings, and although the three concubines of the Shi family are a little cautious, they are also sensible people.
Life is tight, but it can be lived.
In the past two years, the Shi family has entered Beijing one after another, thinking that they can earn some wealth by relying on the Shi family.
But Shi's father even wants his children and grandchildren to study and go to school, and he is not allowed to go to his son-in-law's side to go through the back door, how can he allow the clansmen to stick to his daughter.
The people who came stayed in the Shi family for a period of time and couldn't count on the Shi family, and they couldn't see the Shen family, so they spent all the money on their bodies, and most of them went back to Nanyang. In the end, only two people remained.
These two are Shi's father's nephews, and his nephew Shi Quan is an honest and loyal man, he found a job in Beijing, leaving early and returning late, although he lived in Shi's house, he only occupied a bed, and he earned his own expenses.
The other is Shi Qing, the nephew of Shi's father who did not come out of five suits, studied for a few years, and failed to pass the examination several times.
He felt that his bad luck was not good because he couldn't get into the show, not because he didn't have enough knowledge.
If the Shen family can get him a petty official, Shi Qing believes that he will definitely be able to prosper and prosper.
Although Shi's father entered Beijing, he was looking forward to his children and grandchildren being able to study hard, and the three sons of the Shi family did not rely on the Shi family and Shen Zhenghai to become a petty official, how could they do such a thing for a nephew.
This nephew named Shi Qing has lived in the Shi family for more than a year, and the food and housing expenses are all from the Shi family, and when he saw that Shi's father didn't help him go to the Shen family to ask for help, he was annoyed in his heart.
Shi Qing began to wander around the capital all day long, using the name of the Shen family to swagger and deceive. He is the brother of the Shi family, and when he goes to the Shen Mansion, the Shi family naturally wants to see him. After going there a few times, the servants of the Shen Mansion also got to know this uncle.
When some people saw that he could enter and leave the Shen Mansion freely, they really believed that he was Shen Zhenghai's brother-in-law.
At the beginning, some people gave him money and gifts in order to appease the Shen family, and a merchant from the north promised him all the daughters of the family in order to appease him.
After having money, Shi Qing rented a house outside and raised an outer room.
He also deserved to have an accident, this spring, Shen Zhenghe went to Jixianglou to check the accounts, and someone happened to invite Shi Qing to dinner in Jixianglou.
Some people had long been suspicious of Shi Qing, so they deliberately led Shen Zhenghe to the private room.
If it was Shen Zhenghai who came, he might be a little familiar with this brother-in-law, but it was Shen Zhenghe, who knew the three brothers of the Shi family, but he had never even seen this Shi Qing.
Seeing that the two of them didn't know each other, the person who invited them to dinner knew that they had been fooled, and as soon as Shen Zhenghe left, Shi Qing was lame and thrown out of Jixianglou.
If it weren't for the people from Jixianglou to stop him, Shi Qing would have almost been killed.
Shi Qing was lame and didn't dare to go to Shi's house, so he turned around and hired a boat to return to Nanyang.
When he arrived at Nanyang's hometown, Shi Qing definitely didn't dare to say the truth, and he talked nonsense to his family, not to say that the Shi family didn't want to see him, and the Shen family looked down on the Shi family. Father Shi partially found something to do for his nephew, and didn't care about him.
He went to Jixianglou to find something to do, who knew that Jixianglou didn't want him not to say anything, and let people break his legs. This auspicious building is the property of the Shen family, if Father Shi wants to arrange things for him to do, it is just a matter of words. But Shi's father didn't care, and he still communicated with the Shen family and deliberately harmed him.
Eleven people from the Shi family came to Beijing, ate the Shi family and lived in the Shi family, and finally ten people returned to Nanyang with Shi Qing.
These ten people can go to the capital to find the Shi family to take advantage, and most of them have extremely ordinary personalities.
As soon as Shi Qing said this, coupled with the words of several other people, the reputation of the Shi family climbing to the high gate and ignoring the clansmen and harming each other spread.
Shi also has a younger sister who is also married in Nanyang, and this matter has reached Xiao Shi's ears as it spreads.
Xiao Shi immediately entered Beijing with her husband and told her father and brother what Shi Qing said when she returned to Nanyang.
The Shi family didn't know that Shi Qing was beaten and returned to Nanyang, but the Shi family only knew that Shi Qing was renting a room to live in, and they didn't know that Shi Qing was pretending to be the boss of the Shi family and swaggering outside.
As soon as he heard that Shi Qing slandered the Shi family, and those who went back from the clan also helped to add fuel and vinegar, Shi's father fainted on the spot.
Shen Zhenghai invited the imperial doctor in the palace, but it was only to delay Shi's father's illness. Father Shi, who was originally good, had crooked eyes and eyes, half of his body couldn't move, and he couldn't speak clearly.
However, if Father Shi wants to recover as before, I am afraid it will be difficult.
