Chapter 30: Salted Fish Eating Melons 2

The time when Linlang entered this world was when the original family was invited to participate in the banquet of the crossing man's family and came back, and the hundredth son of the crossing man was interested in the original body and sent someone to visit the original parents.

Yes, the crossing man is eighty years old at this time, and most of his sons are naturally married, and even because of the early marriage in ancient times, the next generation will appear in less than twenty years, resulting in him having five generations in the same house.

So those who are not married, only those sons born in their later years, like the current one, were born to a woman when the crossing man was sixty years old.

The reason why I say a certain woman, not that I am a concubine, is because there is a limit to the number of concubines in this era, and it is impossible to take as many as you want, and ordinary people are not forty childless, and they are not even qualified to take concubines.

And the crossing man, as the concubine of An Dingbo, naturally has no right to inherit, and the one who inherits the title is his eldest brother.

But as the concubine of An Dingbo, the crossing man also has some privileges, and he has a petty official and a fellow intellectual.

But even if he has a fictitious title on his body, the number of concubines is limited, and if he exceeds it, he will be punished.

It is normal to have such a setting, after all, if you don't get a restriction, rich people can accept countless concubines, which will lead to a large number of ordinary people without wives, and then a large number of singles will have an accident.

Although there are such regulations, in fact, there are policies and countermeasures, and many people still raise concubines who exceed the limit, but the dignitaries are like this, so no one reports it.

Of course, these people also know the excuse of not reporting to others on the surface, and the number of concubines on the surface is still limited, and the others are nameless.

Like the crossing man, that's it.

So he has so many concubines, most of them have no identity, and they are called concubines, but in fact, they can only be said to be his women, and they have no name or point.

Although there are many sons, concubines, and complicated family members, there are still many people who tend to be inflammatory, and they are willing to marry their daughters to the sons of the male kings, the reason is very simple, everyone in the world knows that Wang Xi is rich and rivals the country, and the sons marry and give tens of thousands of taels of dowry every time.

Tens of thousands of taels, ordinary people can't take it out, seeing so much money, who doesn't want to marry their daughter, after all, any dowry can give tens of thousands of taels, living in the Wang family, can it be worse?

In fact, because of the large population of Wang Xi's family, he bought a large piece of land in the capital and built a big manor, so don't look at the family, but the family is not crowded, each concubine with her son, can live in a courtyard, unlike other rich and noble families in Beijing, there are many concubines, and several concubines may live in a courtyard, which is very crowded.

Wang used to have money, and he boasted that he treated all women equally, so the place where he lived was naturally about the same, and he would not distinguish between good and bad.

And Wang Xi is so rich, and he can live to the age of eighty peacefully, and he has not been raided by the emperor, because he is not an ordinary person, but a noble queen; Second, from the time he made his fortune, he sent dry shares to the families of various dignitaries and nobles in Beijing and tied them to his own boat; Thirdly, he also married his daughter to various dignitaries.

Through various methods, most of the high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing were trapped, so that naturally no one was in front of the emperor, took his eye medicine, and let the emperor raid his home.

Of course, the main thing is that the previous generation of emperors took the throne, Wang Xi stood right, he had the merit of following the dragon, after ascending to the throne, once there was a natural disaster in the imperial court, Wang Xi could rush to the front line every time to donate money for disaster relief, so the previous generation of emperors saw him like this and did not trouble him.

After all, he has supported himself, and he still knows each other like this, and he will make money, so let him make money, in the event of a natural disaster, it is better to have someone like him stand up for disaster relief than to spend the money of the imperial court, so the previous generation of emperors did not move Wang Xi.

The decades of the reign of the previous emperor were the most glorious and successful decades of Wang Xi.

And the reason why this generation of emperors will immediately exile the Wang family after Wang Xi had a stroke is because it is very simple, when this generation of emperors came to the throne ten years ago, Wang Xi was on the wrong side.

It's just that Wang Xi's tree has deep roots, and Wang Xi is more powerful than his sons, so he couldn't move for a while, so he didn't move.

But when Wang Xi had suffered a stroke, and his sons were busy fighting for property, the emperor took advantage of them to attack each other, and gathered a lot of evidence against them, so they cleaned up in one fell swoop.

In fact, ten years ago, he stood on the wrong team, and Wang Xi knew that things were not good, so Wang Xi has been organizing big ships all these years, and he wanted to let some of his sons go to the South Seas to escape when things were not good.

But it's a pity that in the end, he was old and prepared in a hurry, so when he suddenly had a stroke, Wang Xi didn't have time to arrange it, and he was caught by the emperor.

In fact, Wang Xi should have organized a big ship and established a base overseas when he was young, otherwise, he would have recklessly gone to the South Seas, or he would have gone there, and in a hurry, he was afraid that it would be difficult to survive, and his wealth would still fall into the hands of others.

It's just that when he was young, every time he had money, Wang Xi used it to expand his business, and he didn't want to spend money to form a fleet, because forming a fleet and pioneering land was completely a bottomless pit, and no matter how much money was filled in, he didn't see a sound, so Wang Xi saw that he made profits and wanted to use them all to do this kind of thing, so he was a little reluctant, so he didn't get it.

When the previous generation of emperors came to power, he stood on the right side, and the emperor treated him very well, so he didn't want to get it, so he never made a way out.

So when the matter came, I wanted to get it, but it was too late.

Therefore, if you don't get a way out, no matter how much money you make, it's useless.

In fact, Linlang feels that the main problem of the Wang family is still too high-profile.

With more than 100 beauties, what are the 100 beautiful pictures, building luxury manors, and building larger gardens in the suburbs for summer escape, expanding various business empires everywhere, although there is a lot of money, but the business empire without a foundation is like a castle in the air, which can collapse at any time.

In fact, with the background of Anding the Earl's Palace, if Wang Xi didn't earn so much money, and it wasn't so high-profile, the emperor wouldn't have copied his house, after all, there are many rich people in the capital, you don't know how much, you are not the richest, and the emperor's eyes will not be on you.

But the Wang family is so rich that it is normal for the emperor to covet it.

If it weren't for the fact that ordinary people couldn't move the Wang family, otherwise ordinary people would covet it.

So if Wang Xi wasn't stupid, he should have pretended to be only a few hundred thousand or at most millions, and made a fortune in a muffled voice, instead of building a luxury manor, getting so many women, getting his son married, and giving tens of thousands of dowries, so that everyone knew that he had a lot of money and attracted people's attention.

Wang Xi didn't know if he had read too many male novels, so he would be so high-profile, get so many women, and then build such a big manor in order to accommodate so many women, which was too high-profile and was cleaned up by the emperor.

But Wang Xi is not stupid, Linlang will not pay much attention, as long as she does not marry in, she just needs to be a melon-eating crowd, listen to the people in Beijing say that the Wang family is, just have fun.
