Although the Sheng family's surname is Sheng, their family history is not remarkable. Legend has it that Mrs. Sheng lost her parents when she was a child and made a living by begging. But with the change of dynasties, Mrs. Sheng chose the road of *** knot, which made the Sheng family gradually prosperous. He not only built the ancestral temple and ancestral hall, but also built a magnificent mansion in his hometown of Youyang. People born into merchant families generally preferred to follow the path of cultural development. After the old lady Sheng became rich, he first invested heavily in marrying a young woman from a cultural family and had three sons.
may be because Mrs. Sheng is very capable, or because she is busy making money and has no time to educate her children, so Mrs. Sheng's three sons are more than one by one, if it is not for marrying two good daughters-in-law, they may not even be able to maintain incense.
Dear old lady.
Mrs. Sheng's eldest son is Sheng Wei's biological father, also known as the eldest old lady. The old lady Sheng amassed a rich family fortune, and although he had three sons, they all lived very wealthy.
Mrs. Sheng married an older lady, and although she already had children, she still indulged in flowers, especially visiting green houses. Later, she also met a "strange woman" who only sells her art but not her body. The eldest old lady's son married a young daughter-in-law, but the eldest old lady ignored her and beat the younger daughter-in-law's mother and two younger sisters to the ground. The eldest lady redeemed her body for this unusual woman and took her to his home. He doted on her and was indifferent to his wife and children. As time passed, the concubine gradually took control of the entire family, making the eldest lady and her children feel more and more sad in the days that followed.
In that cold winter, due to the lack of clothing and food, the eldest sister of the eldest lady unfortunately contracted a wind chill. Originally, a dose of medicine could save her life, but her concubine insisted on not asking a doctor to give her medicine, which eventually led to the unfortunate death of her eldest sister, who was not yet ten years old when she died.
Despite the death of her biological daughter due to illness, the eldest lady did not seem to have much reaction. The eldest old lady suddenly woke up in deep grief, and she feared that her two children might also be hurt if she continued to stay here. Therefore, she decided to take Sheng Wei and Sheng to flee to the countryside for refuge.
The old lady was very angry about this, and he planned to write a letter of resignation to divorce the old lady. Fortunately, he was stopped by Mrs. Sheng. Although Mrs. Sheng is his younger brother and sister, she is of noble birth and rich in knowledge, so the eldest lady is to blame for killing his wife because of his favored concubine, so the decision to divorce his wife is over.
The eldest lady and his concubines did not know how to spend extravagantly, and their wealth gradually diminished, and they eventually had to rely on pawns to make ends meet, and even the family's old mansion was used as collateral. With the help of the big eunuch, the little concubine finally found a way to support her family, but she was not reconciled, so she had a conflict with the big eunuch. Due to the huge wealth gap and the concubine taking away his only remaining family property, the eldest lady died soon after.
Over the past few years, the eldest lady and her children have experienced many difficulties in the countryside. Fortunately, Mrs. Sheng came to the rescue and helped them get through the difficulties. As Sheng Weisheng grew up and showed an astounding talent for business, Dafang gradually recovered. Dafang was tall and burly, an authentic peasant, and although Dafang had a beautiful daughter-in-law, he still treated her as if she were his own child. Dafang is deeply grateful for Mrs. Sheng's kindness, and the two brothers, Sheng Wei and Sheng Hong, have grown up together since childhood due to their similar living environment, and their relationship is extremely deep.
After the success of the big house, he generously donated a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry to the second room every year. Subsequently, Sheng Hong's performance in the imperial examinations was great, he held official positions in the imperial court, and used his position to support his cousin, and the mutual help and support between the two houses also grew.
If it weren't for the old lady who left with the child in time, and Mrs. Sheng reached out again, the big house might have severed the relationship.
The person who is called the second old lady.
Minglan 's grandfather is the second old lady, he is a personable and personable Tanhualang. He was a very powerful man and was quite famous at the time. It is rumored that when the second old lady was in high school, the old lady Sheng took his reputation and silver ticket to buy a four-to-five-entry mansion outside the Tai'an Gate, the location of this residence is medium to high, the right side is Linqingfang, which is a gathering place for scholars, and the left side is the residential area of the Banla magnates.
The Sheng family is a family that suddenly became rich, and although they have a Tanhualang, there is still a big gap compared to the Yongyi Hou Mansion. Although Yongyi Hou Qianjin has a strong interest in the handsome and dashing Tanhualang, the old marquis can't resist his only daughter. When he learned that the Sheng family had such a residence in the capital, he felt that it was not a poor family with no family background, so he reluctantly agreed to their marriage contract.
The second old lady thought she was very romantic, and the old lady Sheng had a firm personality, and soon after the two got married, there was a fierce dispute. Later, the second old lady brought back a woman and specially instructed Mrs. Sheng to take good care of her. Mrs. Sheng has been proud all her life and has never endured such grievances, and at that time she loudly expressed her desire to break up.
In ancient times, the relationship between Heli and Li was not so simple. When a tug-of-war was about to break out and the two were about to say goodbye, Mrs. Sheng was unfortunately infected with the wind cold. What is even more shocking is that his life ended because of this. That year, he was not yet thirty years old, and the entire family fortune was inherited by only one young concubine (Sheng Hong).
Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Sheng both had a son, but unfortunately, they died suddenly less than a month after they were born. At the same time, Sheng Hong's aunt also passed away, and the third old lady was watching from the side. In order not to leave the concubine alone, Mrs. Sheng decided to write his name in her own name, and used her dowry to engage in legal proceedings with the third old lady. After several years of struggle, the third old lady finally kept the family property. Subsequently, Mrs. Sheng also hired a famous teacher for Sheng Hong, achieved fame, married a daughter-in-law, and gave birth to children, so the second room gradually prospered.
After years of diligent study and Xi, the second old lady finally obtained the qualification to explore flowers, but he unfortunately died early before contributing to the country. If Mrs. Sheng is willing to help him raise her son, his family will also be at risk of breaking up.
Compared with the two elder brothers, the third old lady is no different, but she is ten times more greedy for flowers and colors than them, whether it is eating and drinking, ** or gambling, she does it well, and she also has the longest lifespan.
The third old lady has only one son, named Sheng Xian, but he has three granddaughters and a grandson, and with elders like the third old lady, the descendants of the third room are usually very learned.
When the granddaughters of the third old lady were still very young, their daughter-in-law told them that the family's financial conditions were very difficult, so she did not hesitate to send her three daughters to the big house for Sheng Wei and Li to raise. In addition to Xiulan, both Huilan and Yuelan have inherited good traditions from their grandfathers.
Whenever the festival comes, when everyone divides things, Yuelan always likes to make trouble. No, she snatched her little house again. Pinlan either snatched Pinlan's clothes or stole Shulan's hairpin ring. When Pinna complains to others, her face is full of tears, claiming that someone is bullying her!Her behavior is contrary to traditional morality, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't have any good solutions. Initially, the Lee clan did not interfere with her in any way, but later she stole the title deed from the Lee family's room, which made the Lee family decide to treat her harshly and easily get the title deed back.
Hui Lan was three years older than Pinlan, and she never allowed her cousin to touch her. When she was younger, she went through countless fights, and even once she pushed Pinran against a stone, causing a blow to her forehead, and the scar disappeared forever.
The ones mentioned before are all grandchildren, and the daughter-in-law of the third old lady occasionally comes to the big house to ask for items. But when the eldest lady and the Li family ignored her, she said in a sarcastic tone: The wealth of those big and second houses fills the sea, but they only care about their brothers and uncles begging in trouble, and they are not interested in it!
In fact, Sheng Wei would pay three houses every month for silver, clothing, and oil and rice. When there is something festive, he may invite Sanfang to dinner on holidays, but Sanfang is dissatisfied with this, thinking that he has given too little.
The third old lady didn't need to say much, because he was the elder in the family, so he often asked Sheng Wei for silver. After the death of the eldest lady, the three rooms became the only owner of the big three-bedroom house, with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two living rooms, and the people in the three rooms all lived in one room. When the eldest old lady was sick, the people in the third room began to come in turn. Some people say that the old lady also left some property with the big old lady, and now he wants to divide the money, and some people say that he wants to take care of Sheng Wei's house. The third old lady was always reluctant to leave, because he was already very old, so everyone was worried that something bad would happen, so they didn't dare to move him.
However, when the third old lady met the old lady Sheng, he became timid, because he could not compare with this second sister-in-law in terms of identity, knowledge or temper.
For example, the third old lady told Sheng Wei that his eldest nephew had deposited 50,000 taels of silver in the big house when his old husband died, and it was time for them to separate.
Sheng Wei: About this. I don't really know.
The old man said: Are you kidding a fool!If you dare to be rude to my uncle, I still have the old lady's notes here!
Mrs. Sheng said: "This did happen, but that year, the third uncle wanted to redeem the top sister of Cuixian Building, didn't he pay in advance?"The former master of the Cui family should still keep his archives and records, and I went to get a letter later. However, you are so arrogant that you still want to be rude to your sister-in-law?Don't you also want to take other people's money?!
Every time this time came, the third old lady would always find an excuse to leave.
Although the third old lady did not perform well in all aspects, he had a significant advantage, that is, he knew when to stop and when to turn the rudder with the wind, which is also the reason why he never completely broke with the second room of the big house.
Sheng Wei was a very intelligent businessman, and he always pursued fame when he was in business. Even if the condition of the third room is not good, the third master is still alive and is a relative within two generations, if he is really indifferent to his wealth and only cares about his wealth and does not help, then people may say that he says that he loves to be rich because of poverty. It's a real annoyance. Although businessmen are often labelled as immoral, Sheng Wei enjoys a high reputation in Youyang. In addition to his daily compassion for the elderly and the weak, as well as assistance to the poor, his trip to the third room shows his kindness and kindness.
Mentioned at the end of the article. This is the story of the three grandfathers of the Sheng family, each of whom can be used as a negative teaching material. Because of their reasons, Sheng Wei Shenghong didn't dare to let the children go to the Qinglou to play, let alone interact with the Qinglou women, he was afraid that they would be like his father and uncle, because of a "strange woman" and cause the family to be ruined.
After thinking like this, these three grandfathers have made no small "contributions" to their offspring.
