The Shen family only had two sons and one daughter left at that time, the eldest son Shen Zhenghai, the second son Shen Zhenghe, and the only girl in the Shen family, the second son Shen Zhengqing.

Among the in-laws of the Shen family, the best one is the Zhenguo Duke’s Mansion where Shen Zhengqing married.

The second wife of the Shen family, the Zhong family, the first wife of the Shen family, the Shi family, and the third wife of the Shen family, the Dong family, all came from ordinary families in Nanyang. Originally, they were relatively well-matched, but now their status is completely different from that of the Shen family.

The Shen family moved to Beijing and lived in embarrassment for the first few years. Even if their poor relatives in the countryside wanted to benefit from it, they did not dare to entrust their wealth to Concubine Zhou because of her favor.

After the Shen family's nephew came to the throne, in the past two years, not only all the Shen family's in-laws came to Beijing, but also some distant relatives who had taken countless detours.

The first person to cause trouble was the natal family of Mrs. Shi, the eldest wife of the Shen family.

Shi's father was a talented scholar who failed in many examinations, and his energy had long since faded. Later, when he had children and grandchildren, he let them study, thinking that one day they would be able to succeed.

The children and grandchildren had not yet become prominent, but they did not expect that the husband's family to whom the daughter married would become prosperous and become relatives of the emperor.

Father Shi was the first in-law of the Shen family to bring his children and grandchildren to Beijing. After arriving in Beijing, the Shi family only visited the Shen family, but did not borrow the power of the Shen family.

Shi's father used the strength of his whole family to sell all the houses and fields in Nanyang, and bought a small house in a slightly remote place in the capital, and a dozen members of his family lived in it.

Father Shi's body and bones are healthy. Although the family has a large population, the living space is a bit crowded, and there are constant conflicts. Fortunately, the three brothers of the Shi family have a deep relationship. Although the three sisters-in-law of the Shi family are each a little thoughtful, they are also sensible people.

Shi Qing's words, coupled with the words of several other people, spread the reputation of the Shi family for climbing up to high places and not caring about the clan members and even doing harm to others.

At first, some people gave him money and gifts in order to curry favor with the Shen family. A merchant from the north, in order to curry favor with him, betrothed all his daughters to him.

Shi's sister also married in Nanyang, and this matter spread to Xiao Shi's ears.

Living in the capital is not easy. Maybe after visiting the capital and seeing the prosperous times, no one wants to go back to their hometown and live the old days.

When Mrs. Shi knew that her father was bringing the whole family to Beijing, she was naturally worried. She would send people to check on him every now and then, and during holidays, she and Shen Zhenghai would take their children to give them holiday gifts.

This nephew named Shi Qing had lived in the Shi family for more than a year, and all the food and accommodation expenses were paid by the Shi family. When he saw that Shi's father did not help him, he went to the Shen family to ask for help, and he became annoyed.

He felt that he was unlucky because he failed to pass the examination, and it was not because he was not knowledgeable enough.

Xiao Shi immediately went to Beijing with her husband and told her father and brother what Shi Qing had said when she returned to Nanyang.

Shi Qing began to wander around the capital all day long, using the name of the Shen family to swindle. He was the brother of the Shi family, so when he went to the Shen Mansion, the Shi family would naturally want to see him. After going there several times, the servant guarding the Shen Mansion also I got to know this uncle.

The women of the Shi family sewed, mended, embroidered and made purses, and they could also exchange some money.

The yard they bought was not big to begin with, and with a family of twenty people living in it, it was already very crowded, so it was very difficult.

Shi Qing was beaten and his legs were lame, so he did not dare to go to Shi's house, so he hired a boat and returned to Nanyang.

In the past two years, relatives of the Shi family have come to Beijing one after another, thinking that they can earn some wealth by following the Shi family.

The Shi family has three sons and two daughters. The three sons got married and gave birth to nine grandchildren and three granddaughters. It was considered a prosperous family.

The visitors stayed at the Shi's house for a while, but they could not count on the Shi's and could not see the Shen family. They spent all their money and most of them returned to Nanyang. In the end, only two people stayed.

Although the Shi family lived in a remote place, the Shen family often sent people to visit the Shi family, and interested people in the capital got the news.

After getting rich, Shi Qing rented a house outside and also raised an outhouse.

If the people from Jixiang Tower hadn't stopped him, Shi Qing would have almost been beaten to death.

Seeing that the two of them didn't know each other, the person who invited the guests to dinner knew that he had been fooled. As soon as Shen Zhenghe left, Shi Qing was beaten lame and thrown out of Jixiang Tower.

But Father Shi even wants his own children and grandchildren to go to school and is not allowed to go to his son-in-law through the back door. How can he allow his clan members to rely on his own daughter?

The other is Shi Qing, Shi's father's nephew who has not been in the fifth server. He has been studying for several years and failed to pass the scholar exam several times. This time he came to Beijing thinking that Shi's father could ask Shi to get him a small official position.

.

When he arrived at his hometown in Nanyang, Shi Qing definitely didn't dare to tell the truth. He talked nonsense to his family, saying that the Shi family didn't want to see him, and the Shen family looked down on the Shi family. Shi's father found a job for his nephew and ignored him.

Don't ask.

The three sons of the Shi family studied hard at home, and several grandchildren were also sent to schools in Beijing.

Eleven people from the Shi family came to the capital, and they ate and stayed with the Shi family. In the end, ten people including Shi Qing returned to Nanyang.

If it was Shen Zhenghai who came, he might be somewhat familiar with this clan brother-in-law, but it was Shen Zhenghe who came. He knew the three brothers of the Shi family, but he had never even met Shi Qing.

Life is tight, but we can get through it.

Someone had long suspected Shi Qing and deliberately led Shen Zhenghe to the elegant room.

If the Shen family could find him a small official position, Shi Qing believed that he would have a prosperous official career and rise to prominence.

When some people saw that he could enter and leave Shen's house freely, they really believed that he was Shen Zhenghai's brother-in-law.

These ten people were able to go to the capital to take advantage of the Shi family, and most of them were of extremely average character.

He deserved what happened to him. In the spring of this year, Shen Zhenghe went to Jixiang Tower to check the accounts, and someone happened to invite Shi Qing to dinner at Jixiang Tower.

Both of them are nephews of Shi's father. His nephew Shi Quan is an honest and loyal man. He found a job in Beijing, leaving early and coming back late. Although he lived in Shi's house, he only occupied a bed and earned all his own expenses.

It was fine at first, but when Chen Jianye came to the throne, the Shen family kept a low profile and avoided guests. As the in-laws of the Shen family, the Shi family could not close their doors and avoid guests like the Shen family.

Although Father Shi went to Beijing, he hoped that his children and grandchildren could study hard. None of the three sons of the Shi family had obtained a small official position through Shi and Shen Zhenghai, so how could they do such a thing for a nephew of the clan?

He went to Jixiang Building to find something to do, but he didn't know that Jixiang Building didn't want him and even had his legs broken. This Jixiang Building is the property of the Shen family. If Father Shi wants to arrange something for him, just say

However, Shi's father didn't care about it. He even communicated with the Shen family and deliberately harmed him.

The Shi family did not know that Shi Qing had been beaten and returned to Nanyang. The Shi family only knew that Shi Qing had rented a house to live outside, and they did not know that Shi Qing was pretending to be the boss of the Shi family and was cheating outside.

When he heard that Shi Qing had slandered the Shi family, and those people from the clan who had returned also helped to add insult to injury, Shi's father was so angry that he fainted on the spot.

Shen Zhenghai invited the imperial doctor from the palace, but this only managed to slow down Shi's father's illness. Shi's father, who was originally well, had crooked eyes and mouth, could not move half of his body, and could not speak clearly.

However, if Father Shi wants to return to his original state, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
