In today's society, most countries have implemented a monogamous system in order to better promote their own development, reduce disputes, and improve the happiness index of their citizens, even if they are the leaders of the country, but there are still many countries that still practice polygamy, such as India. Because of polygamy, there will be more children in the family, and their lives, education, etc. will bring a lot of burdens to the elders. Therefore, if the family's economic situation is better and the family style is better, many excellent children will be cultivated, such as Sun Baoqi, an official during the Qing Dynasty on the mainland, whose family is a typical representative.
Sun Baoqi is an authentic southerner, born in 1867 in the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou. Because his father was an official in the dynasty, his family was also well-off, and he did not have to worry about food and clothing since he was a child, and when he reached the age of school, he could also go to a private school to receive a good education. Because of the influence of his father, he was also more interested in reading, and his father often taught him to pay attention to his studies, so he was also very attentive to learning, and later, through his own efforts, he achieved good results in the examination.
Coupled with this layer of his father's relationship, he got such an enviable fat difference as the head of the household. The work in the household department is not only not tired, there is a lot of money, but also can take the opportunity to seek personal interests for themselves, so many people are very envious of Sun Baoqi. However, what they did not expect was that Sun Baoqi was upright and clean, so he did not work perfunctorily and amass wealth as others imagined.
Such a person is obviously out of place with others, and will be mistaken by others as "pseudo-Qinggao", so many people have opinions on him, plus he will not please the superiors, say some words that please the superiors, so, after a long time, everyone's dissatisfaction with him is also increasing, and in the end, he can only face the end of being degraded. After being degraded, Sun Baoqi was greatly affected by both Feng Lu and his career, and he himself knew very well that if he continued to develop in this way, one day, his career would end.
Not only did he fail to live up to his father's expectations, but he was also unable to support the food and clothing of the large number of people in the family, so he was very worried about this, but to his surprise, his later career had a turnaround, and this was due to his daughters. Sun Baoqi married 5 wives in his lifetime and had 24 sons, of which 16 were daughters.
Sun Baoqi's eldest daughter married Sheng Enyi, the son of Sheng Xuanhuai, who was very prestigious in the Qing Dynasty. In fact, the proposer of this marriage is Sheng Xuanhuai, because he heard that the daughters of Sun Baoqi's family are excellent, so he thought of finding a good marriage for his son, but Sun Baoqi had many concerns at that time, so he did not agree, and gave a reason for refusal, there was not enough bride price, he thought that the matter was over, but he did not expect that Sheng Xuanhuai said that he did not need those, only need to have a bride.
After sun Baoqi saw the sincerity of the Sheng family, he also agreed to this marriage. After that, Sheng Xuanhuai died, leaving many of the remaining property to his son, who had thought that Sheng Enyi was not angry enough, only knew how to spend money, did not know how to make money, and finally, made the Sheng family under his leadership, decaying.
Of course, when Sun Baoqi and Sheng Xuanhuai first married, Sun Baoqi did not receive some unfair treatment in the official arena. Later, when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, Sun Baoqi followed Cixi all the way and never left until he arrived at the Forbidden City, and Empress Dowager Cixi saw that he was so loyal, so she added an official to him. Later, Sun Baoqi's second daughter married Zailun, the son of the military minister Yi Li, and because of this relationship, Sun Baoqi was soon promoted and became the governor of Shandong. Because during his term of office, he sincerely did things for the people and did not wantonly accumulate wealth, so he was a clean and good official in the hearts of the people.
In 1911, Sun Baoqi was pressured to take the initiative to leave his post. After that, what Sun Baoqi did not expect was that Yuan Shikai actually took the initiative to find him and wanted to marry him. Sun Baoqi fell into a tangle for a while, because he knew that Yuan Shikai was a controversial person, so Sun Baoqi did not know what to do in the end to be correct, but this matter must give Yuan Shikai an answer, so Sun Baoqi can only consider it as soon as possible, and cannot delay for too long, so as not to anger Yuan Shikai and cause unimaginable consequences. Later, after some consideration, Sun Baoqi finally agreed to the marriage and let his fifth daughter marry Yuan Shikai's son.
As for Sun Baoqi's other daughters, they are also very well married, and the background of the family is either rich or expensive, so I will not list them here. In addition, there is a daughter who has to be mentioned, she is Sun Baoqi's seventh daughter Sun Yongfan, her husband is Zhang Zhiyi, the son of Zhang Peilun, the minister of the late Qing Dynasty, before the two became relatives, Zhang Zhiyi and his wife already had two sons, one of which was the famous mainland writer Zhang Ailing.
