Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 248

"Hey, sometimes if you have a bad childhood, it can make people grow up, right?" The eldest wife of the Qin family was silent for a while, but the expression she looked at Luo Yunrui was not sympathy, but a look of approval in her eyes .

"I think so too. For example, like my mother, although her parents died when she was young, because she was too young at that time, she didn't remember her parents at all in her mind. Therefore, she I didn't experience that feeling in person, and it wasn't that I felt sad. Later, she was raised by the Zhang family. At that time, the Zhang family had only her as a girl. Naturally, they treated her very well, so that she didn't know what a human heart is. sinister."

Luo Yunrui never hides her temper from people she is familiar with. She always thinks that it is a good thing to have clear grievances and grievances.Of course, like Luo Zhang, who has seen Luo Yunrui's true temperament several times, but still regards her as a daughter who needs to be protected, he really can't do it.Luo Zhang has this kind of ability, no matter how the other party behaves, she will always only trust her own senses, even if the senses are wrong, she is not willing to change them.

"For such a person, it depends on how well she marries. It would be nice if she can maintain that kind of simple and innocent temperament for the rest of her life." The meaning behind the words of the eldest wife of the Qin family was of course referring to Qin Xi.No matter what, Luozhang's life has been finalized. She now has a harmonious family and has both sons and daughters. With her temperament, she will not be bad for her future daughter-in-law, and her life in the future will definitely be smooth.It's just that Qin Xi doesn't have to. Maybe it has something to do with her background?
"In fact, sometimes, birth really doesn't mean everything. Like my mother, she was born in a merchant family. Both of her parents died and she was raised by relatives. At first glance, it seems very bad. And in the first few years, her life was really bad. , I have only one daughter under my knees, and the concubine is in charge at home, her temperament is too soft. Fortunately, since Lei'er and Rui Ge'er were born, she has gradually become smooth." Luo Yunrui Naturally, he understood the meaning of what the eldest wife of the Qin family said, but some of them could not be said clearly, at least not for Qin Xi to understand, otherwise it would make her cry again.

It's not that the eldest wife of the Qin family didn't think about this. In fact, sometimes she wished she could just marry Qin Xi to a poor family boy, at least there were no unnecessary things to worry about.But the problem is that there are some things that she can't just do if she wants to.Children from poor families mean that they have no contacts in the capital, and the eldest wife of the Qin family can't know those people from your wife's circle at all.Even if Qin Shaotian met a few by chance, he couldn't just go up and ask if he was married or would he like to get married?
Things like discussing marriage are mostly initiated by the man.Generally, the man first asks the elders he is familiar with to come and inquire about it, and if the elders of the woman are interested, we can discuss it further.When things are settled, a matchmaker will be entrusted to deliver a post.

This is for real officials. If it is like the Luo family, it will spread the word, and naturally someone will come to the door with the post.However, like when the Luo family made an engagement for Luo Yunrui, there was another reason.After all, the status of the Luo family is not comparable to that of the Qin family, Luo Yunrui is the second wife's daughter-in-law, and her mother, Luo Zhang, is from a merchant family. No matter how you look at it, Luo Yunrui is incomparable to Qin Xi.

At least one thing, merchants or children from poor families dared to send messages to Luo Yunrui back then, but they didn't dare to approach Qin Xi.

Sometimes too high a background may not be a good thing.

"There are many official families in the capital, and there are many children from poor families. There will be a spring in the spring next year, but then you might as well think about it." The eldest wife of the Qin family thought about it and thought it would be better to be children from poor families.The main reason is that she really has nothing to do, and she doesn't want Qin Xi to marry a merchant.The point is, this poor boy may have a bright future in the future, but if he is a merchant, Qin Xi is really low-married.

Luo Yunrui was a little noncommittal, after all, her family had only been in the capital for a short time, and their contacts in many aspects were incomplete.In addition to Qin Shaotian's errand, he really has no relationship with the children of the poor family. Now he can only get in touch with the children of the poor family occasionally under the excuse of going back to Taiyuan Academy to visit the teachers.But on the one hand, this kind of friendship is really not deep, and on the other hand, it can't be too deliberate. If the real reason is spread, Qin Xi's reputation may really be ruined.

Because I always have something on my mind, this trip to Hot Spring Zhuangzi did not go too well.Of course, after soaking in the hot spring and seeing the scenery, Qin Xi's complexion has improved significantly compared to when she was in the ancient Buddhist temple, but in general, the sadness between her brows still cannot be concealed.Luo Yunrui felt that there was still one person missing this time. If Lei'er was here, once there was a commotion, Qin Xi would be completely helpless even if she wanted to think about her thoughts.

It's a pity that Lei'er is now in Luzhou City. Although she is still young, but because her temper is too flamboyant, before coming to the capital, Luo Yunrui heard that Luo Zhang has already started to teach her.However, Luo Yunrui felt that with Luo Zhang's temperament, she would definitely not be able to suppress Lei'er, or could she find an excuse to bring Lei'er to the capital?
"Mother, I remember that in the spring of next year, there will be not only Chunwei, but also a small election, right?"

The eldest wife of the Qin family was taken aback by Luo Yunrui's words: "Rui'er, what are you talking about? The general election? Do you want Xi'er to participate in the minor election?"

Seeing the shocked and inexplicable expression of the eldest wife of the Qin family, Luo Yunrui couldn't laugh or cry: "Xi'er? How is that possible? With Xi'er's temper, if she goes to the palace, she will be eaten to the bone gone."

"Huh, you gave me a big jump!" The eldest wife of the Qin family gave Luo Yunrui a reproachful look, and then felt that she had made a fuss.With Qin Xi's temperament, even ordinary officials don't have to think about it. As for the palace, it's just a joke!

"What I think is that a group of court ladies will be released before and after each minor election or general election. Although our Qin family is not really a big family in the capital, it should be easy to find a court lady, right?" Luo Yunrui expressed her thoughts with some hesitation: "It doesn't have to be particularly good, after all, our Qin family can't compete with those real high-ranking families. We only want to find a maid who works in the palace, or the old mother can also become a good one." .”

According to the law of this dynasty, court ladies are sent to the court between the ages of ten and 12, and they can be released when they are around 25 years old.Of course, the release of people does not happen every year. It usually happens around the election or general election.However, not all court ladies will be released, and some nobles use them well, so they stay.In this way, occasionally some old nuns are released every year.

"Rui'er, you mean..." The eldest lady of the Qin family's heart twitched slightly. Generally, the maids or mothers who came out of the palace didn't have a good future.This dynasty is accustomed to early marriage, and it is difficult to discuss marriage when you are seventeen or eighteen years old, let alone 25 years old.If the family background is good, then maybe you can marry at a low price.Just like Qin Yan back then, she married into a merchant family from her status as the daughter of an official family.

However, generally speaking, the maids who go to work in the palace are of extremely low background, usually from abjectly poor families, and some of them are sent to the palace.Unless such a family is willing to marry an old widower to fill in the house, it is difficult to find a family.

It's already so difficult for a court lady, let alone the old mother.Even if you are looking for fillings, it is absolutely impossible to find some old mothers in their 50s and [-]s, and these people usually have dead parents at home. If the brothers are good, they can still give them food. If the family is not good, they will take care of them flawlessly. up.

"Mother, I'm thinking that even if Xi'er marries into a family with a simple population in the future, she still needs to be taken care of by sensible people. After all, her temper... Xi'er's nanny is also relatively weak. Fortunately, after all, I can see that the nanny takes great care of Xi'er. But if there are some things that need to make up her mind, the nanny can't help it. Why don't we go to make some connections and find someone People from the palace come out to take care of Xi'er? Anyway, it's just a meal, and the Qin family can afford it."

The eldest wife of the Qin family nodded secretly while listening to Luo Yunrui.It's not that she hasn't thought about finding a proper person to help Qin Xi in the future.In fact, the eldest wife of the Qin family has been searching for it for the past two years.There are quite a few safe people among her accompanying rooms, but the problem is that the so-called accompanying rooms belong to a large family, and it is not easy for the eldest wife of the Qin family to ask one of them to follow Qin Xi, but if there are too many accompanying rooms...

In the future, if Qin Xi gets married low, the dowry can be generous, but it is best not to have too many companions, so as not to give the future husband the illusion that the wife controls the family.Even if Luo Yunrui married into the Qin family back then, there were not many companions.Except for the five maids who were close to her, she sent the rest of the companions to Zhuangzi's shop. After all, even if she wanted to employ someone, she could use someone from the Qin family instead of using her companion.

"It's okay. The palace will release some maids and nurses almost every other year. Of course, we can't care about those who are close to the nobles, but it's okay if they are just rough servants. "The more Mrs. Qin thinks about it, the more she feels that it makes sense. Sometimes it is not necessary to have more companion rooms, and it is better to be more concise.

Luo Yunrui also felt that she shouldn't choose those maids who were originally more prestigious. After all, the Qin family's foundation in the capital is still young, so there is no need to offend people because of such things.What's more, every time those high-status maids and nuns get paid, it is always a topic of discussion in Mrs. Gui's circle.The Qin family doesn't need a high profile, and Luo Yunrui doesn't want the Qin family to be in the limelight either.

However, even the maids and nuns who were not very eye-catching in the palace may not be incapable.God knows, sometimes the palace is a place that cannibalize people without spitting out their bones, and countless people die for no reason every year.It can be said that no one who can enter the palace at an early age and spend more than ten years in the palace safely is a simple person!
