The Zhu family is the largest wealthy family in Shan County, with more than 200,000 acres of land. His grandfather Zhu Tinghuan served as the deputy military envoy of Daming Prefecture. Zhu Shuqi relied on his ancestor's wealth to enter the Hanlin Academy as a Confucian minister during the Qianlong period. He married a girl from the Kong family in Qufu. Everyone gave Kong the name Princess Goose and Duck. Kong's fingers were connected by skin and shaped like the toes of a goose and duck. It was difficult to climb high, so she married Zhu Shuqi, a junior official. In order to show their noble family status, the Kong family proposed that the Zhu family send ingots to Qufu one step at a time. The Zhu family made a double trip to Qufu with ingots. Less than 10 years after Kong married, Zhu Shuqi died of illness. Kong was only 26 years old. He asked the magistrate of Shan County to "point him out". The magistrate refused because he thought Zhu Shuqi was of low status and low-ranking status. Although his family property was large, he was a landowner who was a country boy. In anger, Kong went to Qufu to seek help from Duke Yan. When Kong arrived in Qufu, he explained the cause and effect. Duke Yan Sheng was originally very unhappy with his aunt's marriage to Shan County, but now that he came to ask for help, he felt compassion and agreed to go to Shan County to "nominate the bride". At that time, the Zhu family members who were going with the Kong family asked how many people were accompanying them, and Duke Yansheng replied: "Three people." Not long after, Duke Yansheng arrived at Shanxian County, where he saw huge flags, golden drums and drums, and dazzling swords and guns. Duke Yansheng said that the three people he led were three general soldiers. The three generals each brought thousands of troops to Shanxian County. The army and horses were stationed from Shanxian city to Shilipu ten miles away. The well water was drained. The Zhu family not only took over all the restaurants in the city, but also bought food from within more than ten miles of the four villages. The magistrate of Shanxian County paid a visit to Duke Yan, who asked him to throw paper money during the funeral. After her husband's funeral, Kong asked Yan Shenggong, "What will you do after I die?" Duke Yan Sheng replied that as long as the aunt is determined to keep the integrity and the care of the orphan is established, she should report to the Ming Sage and build a banquet.
