Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 30 Salted fish eating melon 2
The time when Linlang entered this world was when Yuanshen's family was invited back from the banquet at the time-traveling man's house. The No. 1 son of time-traveling man became interested in Yuanshen and sent someone over to check on Yuanshen's parents.

Yes, the time-traveling man is 80 years old now, and most of his sons are naturally married. Even because of the early marriage in ancient times, the next generation will appear in less than 20 years, so he has five generations under the same roof.

So those who are not yet married, only those sons born in later years, such as the current one, was born to a certain woman when the time-traveling man was 60 years old.

The reason why we talk about a certain woman, not one of his concubines, is because there is a limit to the number of concubines in this era, and it is impossible to take as many concubines as you want, and ordinary people are not childless at forty, and they are not even qualified. Concubine.

And the time-traveling man, as the bastard son of Uncle Anding, naturally has no inheritance rights, and the one who inherits the title is his eldest brother.

But as the concubine of Uncle Anding, the time-traveling man also had some privileges. He was granted a minor official position and a fellow concubine was donated to him.

But even if he has the false title of a concubine, 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 there is no restriction, rich people can take countless concubines, which will lead to a large number of ordinary people without wives, and then there will be a lot of bachelors, and accidents will happen.

Although there are such regulations, in fact there are policies and countermeasures. Many people still raise concubines who exceed the limit. It's just that high-ranking officials are like this, so no one reports it.

Of course, these people also understand the excuses for not reporting to others on the surface. The number of concubines on the surface is still limited, and others have no status.

This is the case with time-traveling men.

So he has so many concubines, most of them have no status. They say they are concubines, but in fact they can only be said to be his women, who have no name or distinction.

Although there are many sons, many concubines, and complex family members, there are still many people who follow the trend and are willing to marry their daughters to the sons of the time-traveling man Wang Xi. When they get married, they give tens of thousands of taels of dowry every time.

Tens of thousands of taels are not something ordinary families can afford. After seeing so much money, who wouldn't want to marry off their daughter? After all, any betrothal gift can give tens of thousands of taels. Living in the Wang family, how can it be worse?
In fact, because of the large population of Wang Xi's family, he acquired a large piece of land in the capital and built a large manor, so despite the large number of people in the family, the house was not crowded. They can live in the same yard, unlike other wealthy families in central Beijing, where there are many concubines, several concubines may live in the same yard, which is very crowded.

Wang Xi has a lot of money, and he claims to treat all women equally, so the place where he lives is pretty much the same, and he doesn't distinguish between good and bad.

As for Wang Xi, who was so rich and could live to be 80 years old safely without having his house confiscated by the emperor, this was because, firstly, he was not an ordinary citizen, but a queen of high rank; secondly, from the time he made his fortune, he had served various high-ranking officials in Beijing. The noble family sent them shares and tied them to their own boats; thirdly, they also married their daughters to various high-ranking families.

Through various methods, most of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital have been entangled. In this way, no one will take his eye drops in front of the emperor, and let the emperor confiscate his home.

Of course, the main reason is that the previous generation of emperors came to power. Wang Xi was on the right side and had the merit of following the dragon. After he came to the throne, whenever there was a natural disaster in the court, Wang Xi was always on the front line to donate money for disaster relief. Therefore, the previous generation of emperors Seeing that he knew things like this, there was no trouble for him.

After all, he has supported himself, has such knowledge, and can make money, so it is better to let him make money. During natural disasters, it is better to have people like him to stand up for disaster relief than to spend the court's money. That's why the previous generation of emperors did not touch Wang Xi. .

The decades of the previous generation of emperors were Wang Xi's most glorious and successful decades.

The reason why this generation of emperors ransacked the Wang family's family immediately after Wang Xi suffered a stroke was because it was very simple. When this generation of emperors came to power ten years ago, Wang Xi was on the wrong team.

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

But when Wang Xi had a stroke, his sons were busy fighting for property again. The emperor used them to attack each other and collected a lot of evidence against them, so they cleaned them up in one fell swoop.

In fact, he was on the wrong team ten years ago. Wang Xi knew that things were not going well, so Wang Xi had been organizing large ships over the years, hoping that when things went wrong, some of his sons would go to Nanyang to escape.

But it's a pity, after all, it's because he's getting old, and things are being prepared hastily, so when he suddenly suffered a stroke, Wang Xi didn't have time to make arrangements, and was caught by the emperor.

In fact, Wang Xi should have organized large ships and established overseas bases when he was young. Otherwise, he would go to Nanyang in such a reckless way.

It’s just that when he was young, every time he had money, Wang Xi used it to expand his business. He didn’t want to spend money on building a fleet, because building a fleet and pioneering wasteland was a bottomless pit. I was a bit reluctant to use all the profits I earned to do this kind of thing, so I didn't do it.

When the emperor of the previous generation came to power, he stood on the right team, and the emperor treated him very well, so he didn't want to do it anymore, so he never made a retreat.

So when the matter came to an end, it was too late to get it done.

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

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

With more than 100 beauties, what kind of pictures are there, luxury manors are built, and even larger gardens are built in the suburbs to escape the summer heat, and various business empires are expanded everywhere. Although there is a lot of money, there is no business empire with a foundation. It's like a castle in the air, which can collapse at any time.

In fact, with the background of Earl's House of Anding, if Wang Xi didn't earn so much money, nor was he so high-profile, the emperor wouldn't copy his house. After all, the rich people in Beijing don't know how many people are rich. No eyes will be on you.

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

If it wasn't for the fact that ordinary people couldn't touch the Wang family, or ordinary people would covet it.

So if Wang Xi wasn't stupid, he should have pretended that there were only a few hundred thousand at most millions, and made a fortune in silence, instead of building a luxurious manor, getting so many women, getting his son married, and paying back tens of thousands. Let everyone know that he has a lot of money and attracts attention.

Wang Xi didn't know if it was because he read too many male-frequency novels that he was so high-profile, got so many women, and then built such a big manor in order to accommodate so many women, which was too high-profile, and was cleaned up by the emperor.

But whether Wang Xi was stupid or not, Linlang wouldn't pay much attention to him. As long as she didn't get married, she would just be a member of the public and have fun listening to people in the capital talking about the Wang family's bad things.
