"If you can't explain clearly, then let's not talk about it today. You only need to know that your father still cares about you."

Sheng Changbai directly interrupted Gu Tingye's thoughts about what he wanted to confide.

The situation in Ningyuan Hou's Mansion is very complicated, Gu Tingye is played like a fool, Sheng Changbai knows it much better than Gu Tingye, so there is no need for Gu Tingye to tell him.

"Well, the old man is the one who looks down on me the most in our family. Otherwise, why would I have to take the scientific examination to fight for my breath." After sighing, Gu Tingye drank another big bowl of wine.

"Deep love comes with great responsibility. If Gu Hou really doesn't like you, why does he care so much about you?"

Speaking of Gu Tingye, Sheng Changbai just said that he has nothing to say about drinking, so he said it casually.

Not to mention that Gu Tingye was half drunk, even when he was sober, Gu Tingye's rebellious character would not listen to other people's advice.

"Eating wine. Zecheng, to be honest, I really envy your family. The population is simple, the elders are kind, and the brothers and friends are respectful."

The external image of Sheng Hong's management for many years is not bad. From the perspective of those who don't know the inside story, the Sheng family is quite harmonious on the surface.

"Don't be envious, drink wine, and get drunk to relieve your worries."

Sheng Changbai is also hard to explain. Compared with the Ningyuan Hou's, this matter about the Sheng family's back house is not worth mentioning.

After being drunk with Gu Tingye for a while, the matter of failing the imperial examination has passed most of the time with Gu Tingye.

The essence of the imperial examination is to earn a family background and enter the imperial court as an official.

Gu Tingye has no shortage of ways out. Losing the opportunity of the imperial examination will not affect his career as an official. It is easier to accept failure than others.

Even after learning the real reason for his dismissal and not being able to continue taking the scientific examination, Gu Tingye passed by very quickly.

For Gu Tingye, the ranking in the provincial test is the key point.

Even if the results were deposed by the emperor in the end, Gu Tingye has proved himself.

To Gu Tingye, whether he can take part in the imperial examination and be assigned to be an official is not that important, and it will not affect his future.

If it wasn't for Gu Tingye who still had the option of Yinfeng, the old emperor wouldn't have deprived Gu Tingye of his qualifications for the scientific examination just because Gu Tingye reported Yang Wuduan's injustice.

After the provincial examination, there is the palace examination, the last step of the national imperial examination, which is a major event for the country.

But there are only more than 300 people participating in the palace examination. Except for these 300 people, the impact on others is far from that great.

As more than 1 candidates left Bianjing one after another, the hustle and bustle in Bianjing returned to normal.

The city of Bianjing has been restored to its original state, and the lives of the people in Bianjing city have returned to their original track.

During this time, Sheng Changbai was busy looking up information and reports from various places, so as to choose a place suitable for him to play.

Although the busy things are different, the rhythm of life is still the same as Sheng Zhai, Yamen and Sheng Zhai.

"My lord, Aunt Kang came to the house again today to look for the eldest lady."

After Sheng Changbai came home from the yamen, the first thing he did was to listen to the maid's report on whether anything happened in the back house.

Other people don't worry about anything at home, but if you don't pay attention to the back house of the Sheng family, you don't know what these people will do.

"This is the recent Aunt Kang, how many times has she come to our house?"

"In the past ten days, Aunt Kang has come here seven or eight times." The eldest maid Yanghao replied.

Aunt Kang's mother, Wang Ruoyu, is really a person who can't stay at home. In the past ten or ten days, eight days have passed, and Wang Ruoyu has been here for eight days, which is every day.

Sheng Changbai couldn't help thinking that if Wang Ruoyu didn't like going home so much, it's normal for Kang Haifeng to find a concubine.

It may also be that she doesn't want to see her man get bored with her concubine, that's why Aunt Kang doesn't like to go home.

But no matter what the cause and effect is, it is difficult for two husband and wife to have a harmonious relationship if they don't get along together.

"Is Aunt Kang gone?" Sheng Changbai asked.

"Everyone left after lunch."

"Then there's no need to prepare a meal for me. I'll go to Wei Ruixuan to have dinner with my mother."

Aunt Kang is a person who has no money and can't get up early, and she keeps running to Sheng's house.

Sheng Changbai found it hard to believe that Aunt Kang wasn't plotting something.

Officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if they were not in court, their work and rest time was quite comfortable. They went to work at seven or eight o'clock, got off work at three o'clock in winter time, and left work at four o'clock in daylight saving time, which can also be regarded as an eight-hour work system.

Sheng Changbai rode home at a faster speed, that is, he arrived at home before four o'clock.

I read miscellaneous books for an hour in the study room, and only after six o'clock did I go to Wei Ruixuan to look for Wang Ruofu.

"Mother, Aunt Kang has come to our house so frequently recently, but do you want to ask for something? Don't mention the matter of Aunt Kang's recovery. Our family really can't help."

During tea after dinner, Sheng Changbai asked.

"Your aunt came to see me, not about your uncle's recovery. After throwing away some belongings, your uncle's recovery has already begun."

After speaking, Wang Ruofu showed some joy on his face: "Your Aunt Kang came here recently, she came to find me for something good, and she wanted to make me rich and add some income to the family."

"Mother, as far as I know, Uncle Kang and Aunt Kang have ruined all the family business left by Mrs. Kang over the years. Mother, since when can Aunt Kang lead Mother to make a fortune?"

No matter what you can do, the No. 1 couple who are prodigal, if they have the ability to manage, how can they lose their family business.

Don't talk about pioneering, the couple can't even keep the house.

"Isn't this forced out? For Mr. Kang's recovery, their family gave away a large amount of money. If your aunt doesn't want to add more income to the family, how can she live on?"

If you are poor, you will think, if you think, you will change, and if you change, you will be able. It is really possible.

"I don't know, what kind of business does my aunt want to take with her mother to make a fortune?"

Asked here, Wang Ruofu's face was a bit embarrassed, he coughed twice, and then began to say: "Bai'er, you still put business first, you don't have to worry about this matter, run the family business Taking care of the family wealth, my mother can still take care of it herself."

"Mother, my son has also read some miscellaneous books recently, and he has gained some understanding of business and family business. After all, my son will be in charge of the government in the future, and he must not be ignorant of business affairs. Why don't you speak out generously, so that I can let you know?" Children study, please refer to it.”

Sheng Changbai continued to ask, Wang Ruofu's hesitating appearance cannot be a good thing.

"Your aunt has some connections in several jiaozi shops. Those who give money can pay a little less, and only give them [-] percent. Your aunt takes me to do it together, and the income will naturally increase a lot."

"Ridiculous! Mom, aren't you just lending usury!" Sheng Changbai said, slapping the table with a black face.

No matter how cryptic Wang Ruofu said, he was still lending usury.

The private lending institutions in the Zhou Dynasty were called Jiaozipu, Jiaoyinpu and Qianyinpu.The first private lender is called Qianmin, Qianren, and the second lender is called Xingqian, Pedestrian.

That is to say, the first lender hands over the cost of usury to the second lender, and uses the money to lend money to lenders who are short of money, and the interest earned is split [-]-[-].

"What's the matter with loan sharks? Didn't I just want to save more family property for you and Rulan? Your aunt Kang has already said that there are many honorable officials in Bianjing city who release loan sharks. Our family will follow suit." What's the matter?"

Wang Ruofu said sternly, this is true on the surface, but it is actually untenable.

Although usury was a legal business in the Great Zhou Dynasty, this business was immoral and often killed people.

The more particular portals and families will take the initiative to avoid participating in this business.

It is really necessary for the nobles and officials of a feudal dynasty to participate in such a man-eating business.

Those in power have begun to be completely immoral, and it is not far from a change of dynasty.

"Mother, can our family be the same as other families? Our family is a family of poetry and books, and the literary world is clean and famous. How can our family get involved in such a dirty business as loan sharks? Have you ever thought about it? Putting money out, does father know what the consequences are?"

Sheng Changbai questioned Wang Ruofu. Of course Wang Ruofu knew everything, but he still couldn't hold back his greed, and he was lucky.

"Even if you don't consider your name, our family can't do such immoral things as putting money out, forcing people to die, and selling children and daughters. Mother, you are also a benevolent person, why would you engage in such a cannibalistic business?" .”

Sheng Changbai continued with a broken heart.

"Bai'er, although mother thinks badly, it's all for the sake of making life easier for you in the future."

Wang Ruofu expressed some regrets, but not much.She is just an ordinary woman in the inner house, she doesn't have a heart for the world, and her heart is for the common people.

The only ones who miss him are his three biological children.

In order to reduce the blame, continue to explain to Sheng Changbai.

"Mother, is our family short of money? In the past few years, the production of the farm alone has increased by [-]% to [-]% compared to before. Zhuangzi has grown so much, isn't it enough?" After a while, Sheng Changbai continued with a straight face:
"Mother, the printing of seals must be stopped immediately. How much money you have given to your aunt during this period, go to her to get it back immediately. The money released must also be changed in the contract. Just ask them to pay back the original money." , don’t charge any interest.”

"When your Aunt Kang comes tomorrow, I will tell her." Wang Ruofu replied angrily.

"Aunt Kang, mother, can you stay away from her? Don't let her come to our house again."

As long as Wang Ruofu is with him, Wang Ruofu's moral bottom line will drop rapidly.

Every time this person flickers, he brainwashes Wang Ruofu, which can be said to be terrifying.

"What's wrong with your aunt Kang, she is also very kind. She is your real aunt, my real sister, she just wants to make a fortune with me, what's wrong." Speaking of Aunt Kang, Wang Ruofu reacted very strongly.

"What good intentions? I think she has a black heart. It is obvious that she has ruined the future of my father and me. The reputation of the Sheng family's black heart for lending usury money spreads. If the reputation is bad, what careers do we father and son have? What are we talking about?" Enter the value center, talk about what to do and do it."

Although Sheng Changbai didn't decide why Wang Ruohe quit Wang Ruofu's usury, but it was certain that he didn't have any good intentions.

The simplest point is that Jiaozipu was opened by Wang Ruoyu Pai Baiglove. Wang Ruoyu was greedy for the capital of the Sheng family and the background of the Sheng family's father and son as officials, and wanted the Sheng family to be the umbrella of the shop.

Or else, Wang Ruo and himself are stupid, this time they really want to take Wang Ruofu to make money, to curry favor with Wang Ruofu, so that they can get various benefits from the Sheng family for a long time in the future.

Judging from Aunt Kang's usual scheming, this possibility is unlikely.

The biggest possibility is that Wang Ruohe is jealous of Wang Ruofu and the Sheng family, and is doing bad things on purpose.

When the two sisters were married at the same time, Uncle Kang and Sheng Hong went to the Wang family to ask for marriage at the same time.

Wang Ruo and himself looked down on the weak family background and background of the Sheng family, so he first chose Kang Haifeng on his own initiative.

The life of Wang Ruofu and the Sheng family now far exceeds that of Wang Ruofu and the He Kang family.

The younger sister and brother-in-law who I looked down upon before are now far superior to me in terms of official career and wealth.

Sheng Changbai also refused, the Kang family wanted the Sheng family to help Kang Haifeng recover.

It is inevitable that the narrow-minded Wang Ruo and the anxious-eyed, jealousy can make people perverted, and perverted people can do anything.

"Bo'er, your Aunt Kang is not as bad as you think, is she?" Wang Ruofu said without confidence.

"Why is it not broken? I dare to put loan sharks. This is to kill people. Isn't it bad? How many things have happened to their backyard over the years, and how many people have been carried out are all our family and uncle The family helped with the aftermath. Does the mother really not know what kind of person the aunt is?" Sheng Changbai continued to question Wang Ruofu, and if Wang Ruofu didn't understand clearly, it wouldn't be the end.

Wang Ruo and this person are also really angry and funny, and they seem to be quite cunning, a ruthless person who killed many concubines, maids, and companions in the Kang family.

But Kang Haifeng was still allowed to stay in the back house, leaving behind a concubine of more than one class, and more than a dozen concubines and concubines.

In the Kang family for so many years, the main thing is to bully the weak and fear the hard.

Kang Haifeng's favored concubine, Wang Ruoyu dared not touch any of them.

Only when Kang Haifeng has a new love, can he dare to take revenge on the concubine who has fallen out of favor.

He only dared to bully some women who Kang Haifeng had no interest in.

It doesn't matter at all whether Lao Kang should play with his heart or play with his heart.

"Hey, that's what a little goblin who seduces the lord of the family should do."

This matter doesn't make sense, the concubine Lin Oshuang casts a big shadow on Wang Ruofu, Wang Ruofu will not sympathize with the concubine.

But Wang Ruofu is just stubborn, if he really can be ruthless, why is Lin Aoshuang not able to live in the Sheng family.

Not to mention that he also killed Lin Aoshuang, Wang Ruofu just wanted to find someone to sell Lin Aoshuang directly.

Sheng Hong still had to rely on the Wang family, so he would never do anything to Wang Ruofu.

"Then let's not talk about the matter of the Kang family's back house, or the matter of Aunt Kang's usury. If we don't talk about the money being released, how will people be forced to ruin and sell their children and daughters. Let's say that Aunt Kang did such a thing, Did she think about fame?
Their family's filial piety violated the system, and they were already very unfilial, and they had no reputation, so they could break the cans and throw them away.But if she wants to take you to put usury, has she considered the innocence left by her grandfather as an official for the first time? She really has to be invited out of the imperial temple by the imperial court because of her unworthy descendants and her grandfather's tablet, can she be reconciled? "(end of this chapter)
