The ancestors of the Rong family were ordinary farming and studying families.
They had produced scholars and successful candidates, but they had never produced Jinshi.
Among those who became officials, the highest ones only served as edicts.
Rongzheng's great-great-grandfather was still a scholar when he was thirty years old.
Frustrated, he followed the trader, who happened to be in the cloth business.
I heard that we have traveled to Quanzhou in the south, Suzhou and Hangzhou in the east, and as far as Guanwai in the north.
I heard that the old man is also a very smart person.
Although he is not very good at reading, his business is booming.
Gradually, I accumulated a substantial family fortune.
When the family's cloth shop opened in the capital, there was no shortage of money in his pocket, and he was determined to support his children who could become officials.
Under the careful training of his great-great-grandfather, his great-grandfather became the first Jinshi of the Rong family, and he became the Minister of the Ministry of Justice to the third rank.
Later, my grandfather's generation didn't have to worry about making a living, and ethnic studies were opened.
This generation produced three Jinshi.
My grandfather was born second in the rankings, but he earned enough face for the Rong family.
Later, my grandfather passed the Shujishi examination and entered the Imperial Academy.
He was a famous Confucian scholar.
However, in the end, my grandfather only watched politics in the Hanlin Academy and passed away at the age of fifty-three before he actually entered the cabinet.
After my grandmother died, only the title of Shuren was written on the tablet.
There are three brothers in Rongzheng's father's generation, and his father is the second.
The eldest uncle, Rong Hai, whose courtesy name is Baichuan, was born as a Jinshi in the second rank.
Now he has reached the rank of official and is in charge of the affairs of the capital.
His father, Rong Jiang, whose courtesy name was Qinghe, was born in the same Jinshi family, and he was appointed magistrate of a county below Suzhou.
Although he is only a minor official of the seventh rank, he is an upright official, has a good reputation, and is a capable official.
Now that his term is about to expire and he is waiting for promotion from his superiors, his grandmother passes away.
He sues Ding You and returns to his hometown to protect his grandmother.
Uncle Rong Yu did not pursue an official career, but took over the general affairs of the family and managed the Rong family's business.
In Rong Zheng's memory, his father waited until his grandmother's filial piety period was over and was recommended by his uncle in the capital, and later got the official position of Tongzhi.
It took my father a year and a half to go from being a magistrate to a magistrate.
Later, before Rong Zheng died, his father had already served as an inspector.
At one time, she was very prestigious in the Liao family, and her mother-in-law and husband were somewhat jealous of her.
But the good times did not last long.
Before his father could take any further steps, bad news came to the Rong family.
His father and younger brother were imprisoned, and it was heard that his eldest uncle Rong Hai had also been dismissed from his post.
At that time, my eldest uncle was a senior official of the second rank.
She didn't know how the Rong family fell.
She thought carefully about whether her father had offended someone or fallen into some kind of trap.
There are still seventeen years before her family's death.
Rongzheng thought that these seventeen years would be enough for her to find the truth.
My father had always had everything going smoothly before, so he didn't have much to worry about.
Rongzheng went to pay his respects to his eldest aunt.
The eldest aunt left her to have tea.
"Sister Zheng is so old, time flies so fast.
The last time I came back, your mother had just left.
You were kneeling behind Xiaoman, your pale little face was no bigger than a palm, but you were unusually quiet, neither crying nor making trouble. " That was when she was almost five years old and capable of understanding things.
Rong Zheng naturally remembered it.

Thinking of her mother's death, her heart felt like a needle pricking her heart.
She suppressed her laughter and said, "My eldest aunt lives in Beijing and won't come back easily." of."
Mrs.
Fang, the eldest aunt, nodded and said: "While your eldest uncle is in office, I have to take charge of the family's middle school and discipline several children, so I really can't leave.
Your eldest uncle also said that he will take your grandmother to Beijing in the spring of next year.
I never thought that she would not wait until spring."
As Mrs.
Fang spoke, the corners of her eyes became wet.
She held her handkerchief and wiped her eyes in front of Rong Zheng.
Rongzheng heard what her eldest aunt said and hurriedly said: "Uncle and aunt are filial.
It's a pity that grandma doesn't have this blessing to share."
"Who says it's not the case?
We haven't seen each other for several years, and Sister Zheng knows how to comfort people."
Rong Zheng remembered hearing her mother say when she was a child that her eldest aunt and her grandmother were not on good terms.
There were some serious conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and it was her mother who often stepped in to mediate.
So when her eldest uncle went to the capital to take office, her grandmother did not go with him, but lived with her younger son. .
Now that I heard what my eldest aunt said, I sneered twice in my heart.
It's true that people wear masks all their lives to see who can act better.
Just as they were talking, sisters Rong Jun and Rong Di arrived.
"Where are you two going?
My sister won't accompany her even when she comes."
Mrs.
Fang scolded.
The sisters said hello to each other.
Rong Yun took Rong Zheng's hand and said with a smile: "My mother said she would go back to Beijing after the New Year.
I'm afraid that once she leaves, it will be difficult for the sisters to see each other again."
Rong Zheng said: "No, why don't I make an appointment with my two sisters to go to Daxiangguo Temple tomorrow?"
Mrs.
Fang smiled and said: "It's just that the weather is too cold, and there's not much to see these days.
It would be great if we go in spring."
"It's almost here, the Chinese New Year is about ten days away."
Rong Zheng pursed his lips and said with a smile, thinking that after the Chinese New Year, his eldest aunt would take her cousins back to Beijing to prepare for Rong Jun's draft next fall.
Sure enough, Mrs.
Fang said: "Hey, I'm afraid I don't have that free time.
Your uncle said that he can't afford to delay, and he should set off after the Lantern Festival.
There are a lot of things in the capital that have to be dealt with.
When will you and your mother go to the capital?
Come, aunt let your sisters take you around."
Rong Zheng said: "Sisters can't go out easily, even if they want to go shopping."
Mrs.
Fang smiled and did not mention to Rong Zheng that her eldest cousin was preparing to run for office.
Rong Xiao came over with his maid.
"The sisters have all gathered."
Rong Xiao is the only daughter in her uncle's family.
She is the eldest daughter, and her two younger brothers are very favored at home.

Aunt Du's love is like a treasure.
In the past, he and Rong Zheng were also very harmonious.
"I'm missing you.
I haven't seen you for a day or two.
Are you sick too?"
Rong Di looked at her with a smile.
Rong Xiao said: "Hey, it's cold, so I don't want to go out.
I came from the third sister's house.
I heard you were here, so I rushed over."
Rong Xiao is weak, and she always faces such weather.
It is hidden in his own thermal pavilion.
Mrs.
Du loved her daughter and was afraid that she would get sick from the cold, so she even skipped the morning and evening routines.
"You have something to do with me" Rong Xiao smiled and said: "If anything happens, I know you are well and I will come and play with you."
When Mrs.
Fang saw the sisters chatting and laughing, she looked carefully and saw that Rong Yun had the most outstanding appearance and felt happy.
Fortunately, the Dragon Boat Festival filial piety period will be over next year, so Rongjun will not be delayed in waiting for the election.
She only wanted to get rich for her daughter, and she thought it would be great if everything goes well.
"Dad said that I am allowed to go out during the Lantern Festival.
Then we sisters will go to Bianliang City to have a good look around."
Rong Di listened with longing in his heart and looked at Mrs.
Fang.
Mrs.
Fang said: "I promise to let you go out, but don't cause trouble for me.
Don't run around."
Seeing that his mother agreed so easily, Rong Di was so happy that he hugged Mrs.
Fang's neck and acted like a baby.
Rong Jun smiled and said to his sisters: "Look at how frivolous she is.
She is not ashamed.
She still thinks she is a child and wants to eat."
Rongzheng looked at her coldly, thinking that if her mother was still here, she would act like a coquettish girl with her mother.
She thought about the past in her previous life, and secretly thought that if her mother was still here, she would have taken fewer detours.
Thinking of myself, my eyes felt a little sore and I quickly looked away.
