The mental state is beautiful

Now the Kang family has eight concubine sons and nine concubine daughters. Together with the legitimate sons and daughters, there are a total of nineteen children.

In addition to the first batch of children born, the concubines occasionally became pregnant and gave birth to several children in the next ten years.

The three illegitimate sons and five illegitimate daughters born later were also raised in Wang Ruoyu's courtyard when they were young.

The boys are named Kang Shunmeng, Kang Shunjing, and Kang Shunhong, and the girls are named Kang Le'er, Kang Hui'er, Kang Qiao'er, Kang Yan'er, and Kang Wen'er.

The ten concubines were very Buddhist and lived a comfortable life, but they were old and didn't want to sleep with the emperor anymore.

Kang Haifeng wholeheartedly agreed with this. He had been feeling very depressed over the years and now he was extremely disgusted with matters between men and women.

With so many people opposing it, Wang Ruoyu had no choice but to go her own way. She announced that there would be no duty roster in the future and everyone could retire early.

Now, the concubines of the Kang family follow Wang Ruoyu's lead, and the illegitimate sons and daughters respect and love Wang Ruoyu as their own mother. Only Kang Haifeng is immersed in sadness.

In such a big family, he was the only one who could see Wang Ruoyu's true face.

Every time when he went out and heard others praising Madam Kang's virtue and kindness, Kang Haifeng had a thousand alpaca running in his heart, and a thousand Ma Ma Pi, he didn't know whether he should say them out loud.

In ten years, there are twelve months in each year, a total of 120 months. If each month is calculated as thirty days, one has to go through the torture of the Heartbreak Pill three times a month.

One hundred and twenty months means three hundred and sixty times of torture!

In the past ten years, Kang Haifeng has long been accustomed to this kind of life.

He now strives to perform well every day, and basically gets the antidote one day in advance every time, so he rarely suffers from the effects of the drug.

"As long as you can pretend for a lifetime, then you are such a person. Look, now when people mention the Kang family and you, who doesn't give a thumbs up?"

Wang Ruoyu comforted Kang Haifeng. "My father was only able to become a Grand Tutor at an old age and was entitled to be worshipped in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. With my constant encouragement, you have become a third-rank official in the capital before you are even thirty years old! In addition to your efforts, most of this is due to my contribution. Don't you think that's right?"

"Do I dare to say it's wrong?" Kang Haifeng complained cowardly.

"What did you say?"

"I think the lady is right!"

"You're smart! Who wouldn't envy a man who can do what you do? You must not be ungrateful, remember that?"

"Yes, yes, I always keep in mind the teachings of the lady."

"Well, go ahead! Remember to look at the children. They are all filial and sensible. As a father, you should also set a good example!"

Wang Ruoyu didn't even look up. He tapped the table with his right index finger, indicating that Kang Haifeng could leave.

These children in the mansion are all helpers to Wang Ruoyu's biological children, and they are filial to Wang Ruoyu. Wang Ruoyu is wealthy and does not mind giving them some good material conditions.

There is no return without investment!

Another three years passed, and the girls in the mansion would be old enough to get married in one or two years.

After investigation, Wang Ruoyu compiled the conditions of the sons of officials in Beijing into a table and bound it into a book.

One day, Wang Ruoyu called his daughters.

"You are getting older, and getting engaged and married is only a matter of two years. This booklet contains the information I have investigated about the young men in the capital, you can all take a look at it."

"All the girls in our Kang family are meant to be wives. You have been taught by me since childhood to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. There is no reason for you to go to other people's homes and suffer grievances."

Wang Ruoyu had no intention of interfering with the marriages of her concubines' sons and daughters. As long as they did not interfere with her biological children, if these people married well, they would all be relatives and helpers of the Kang family in the future.

Wang Ruoyu's legitimate daughter Kang Yixuan and illegitimate daughter Kang Ning'er are both fourteen years old now, so their marriages naturally have to be considered first.

After repeated consideration, Kang Yixuan got engaged to Zhang Zhong, the eldest son of Duke Ying. Kang Ning'er got engaged to Liu Hongjie, the eldest son of a colleague of Kang Haifeng. Liu Hongjie has passed the imperial examination and has a promising future. Both of them will get married next year when they turn 15.

In this era, the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children is clear, and the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children is also obvious during marriages. This is the general environment.

The illegitimate sons and daughters of the Kang family knew what was going on, and they all knew that Wang Ruoyu treated them very well.

In fact, Wang Ruoyu is of course partial to her two biological children, but her partiality is hidden in the overall environment and serves to protect her personality.

There are three concubine daughters who are now thirteen years old. Wang Ruoyu also asked them to read the statistical booklet of the young men in the capital in advance.

"If you have a candidate you like, please tell me in advance so that I can get some information."

"Yes, thank you, mother." Several girls said in unison.

In the following days, other concubines' daughters who had reached age also got engaged one after another. Some married into families of equal status, and some married sons of noble families from poor families. In short, they were all considered good matches.

Kang Qian'an, the eldest son of the Kang family, chose to marry Cui Yongqing, the eldest daughter of the Cui family, who came from a family of scholars with a noble family background.

The other older illegitimate sons also chose their favorite marriage partners.

After this incident, everyone in the capital praised Wang Ruo for loving his concubines' sons and daughters equally like his biological mother, and said he was truly a kind person.

Wang Ruoyu was in charge of the engagement of so many children. The Kang family was very busy for several months and held more than a dozen engagement banquets. Each one was very attentive.

At night, Wang Ruoyu lay on the bed without any image, "It's really hard to be a legitimate mother. I'm so tired!"

"We have been planning for so long, we cannot let this go to waste. For the good future of Qian'an and Yixuan, these will help them in the future!"

She was pleased with Wang Ruoyu's filial piety towards these children, but she would not be soft-hearted when it came to using them.

After they were born, they became the "Gu" raised by Wang Ruoyu. The "Gu Kings" were Wang Ruoyu's two children, and the others were their "Child Gu".

"Over the years, I've spoken the truth, but no one believed me. They always made up a bunch of nonsense. The filter they use on me is too strong! I don't even have a persona, but others came up with one for me."

Wang Ruoyu lamented the power of public opinion. Thinking of how Kang Haifeng had been cheated by her for so many years, she felt justified.

"If it weren't for my management, would the Kang family be doing so well now?"

"The Kang family will be inherited by my son in the future. Since the original owner wanted her son to have a bright future, I will satisfy her! I have trained so many people to help him. Now that the Kang family is in his hands, he has almost nothing to worry about."

Wang Ruoyu took out the small notebook and looked at the original owner's wish.

The first one is to keep your dowry. Done! If you want your children to have a good future, you are halfway there.

The second one is to control Kang Haifeng and use his concubines to complete the act! Sometimes I even believe it when I act.

The third point is to maintain good relations with my mother’s family, live up to Old Master Wang and Old Madam Wang, and exceed the target!

Her good reputation over the years has made the Wang family always praised for their good upbringing of their daughter, and all the female members of the Wang family have had smooth marriages!

Moreover, Wang Ruoyu often kept in touch with her natal family and had a close relationship with them. Even to her younger sister Wang Ruofu who married far away, she would often send gifts and letters to express her concern.

Fourth, tell the truth, live according to your own wishes, and exceed your expectations!

Wang Ruoyu is a bully in the Kang family, but no one believes her when she tells others about it, and they think she is very humorous.

"Hey, you can't blame me!" Wang Ruo and Versailles.

A year later, the eldest daughter and the second daughter got married. In the following years, the eldest son and other concubines' sons and daughters also got married.

Because the children in the family have lived in the courtyard arranged by Wang Ruoyu since they were seven years old, there is no need to worry about the wedding house after marriage.

Moreover, they are all independent small courtyards, and everyone knows their limits and does not worry about offending other people's boundaries.

"It's all because I manage the household well, otherwise how could our family have so many assets and so many yards?" Wang Ruoyu was never polite when he boasted about himself.

Kang Haifeng knelt aside and nodded in agreement.

"Compared to the royal family's children, the betrothal gifts and dowries of the children are not bad, and I also subsidized their other household expenses. After all, I raised them, so I can't lose face."

Kang Haifeng continued to nod in agreement.

"Besides nodding, can you say something?"

"What the lady said is right. I have no objection."

"It's boring. Just kneel down!"

Kang Haifeng left obediently. His efforts over the years have not been in vain. He used to kneel directly on the ground, but now he can kneel on the blanket.

On the other side, Wang Ruoyu discovered the truth.

"This guy is really good at taking advantage of loopholes. I laid a carpet to decorate the house, but he was so cunning that he found a soft place to kneel down."

"Forget it, I won't bother with him. The original owner just wanted to control him. It seems that she was influenced by the idea of ​​becoming a monk and following her husband since she was a child. She doesn't dare to retaliate harshly when she is let down."

"Over the years, I have tortured him to death. His problems of lust, using his wife's dowry, lack of ambition, and domestic violence have all been cured! Am I the reincarnation of Hua Tuo?"

"Forget it! My Wang Ruo and the doctor have brought back the dead with their magic hands!"

Wang Ruoyu was lying on the bed, bragging about herself. The narcissistic maniac was narcissistic but didn't know it.
