Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 251 Zhou Diewu

After hearing what the eldest wife of the Qin family said, Luo Yunrui fell into silence for a while.

The post was sent almost a month ago, and Luo Yunrui was a little dazed when she received the post.The Qin family has been in the capital for more than a year, and they are familiar in the circle of officials and wives.Because Qin Shaotian was promoted again not long ago, even the eldest wife of the Qin family and Luo Yunrui were honored.

It's just that, after all, it's an outsider. The Qin family's foundation is in Luzhou City, not in the capital.Even though the eldest wife of the Qin family and Luo Yunrui have carefully managed the face of the Qin family for more than a year, in the eyes of some real wealthy families in the capital, the Qin family is still not worth mentioning.

This, of course, also includes the century-old Gu family.

The Gu family was originally from a meritorious background. It is said that the ancestors of the Gu family followed the ancestors of the Holy Majesty to conquer the world.Of course, today's Gu family is no longer the family of military generals. Since the old man who passed away in the previous generation, he has embarked on the road of civil servants.Now the Gu family is in charge of the old man Gu Cheng, who is the Minister of the Household Department.

And that post stated that the four masters of the Qin family were invited to attend Old Master Gu's 70th birthday.

No matter from which point of view, the Qin family and the Gu family are not on the same level. Even if the property of Luzhou City is added, it is not even one percent of the Gu family.If it is said that Qin Shaotian is in the household department, then that's all. After all, it is normal for his subordinates to bring their family members to celebrate their birthdays.However, the Taichang Temple where Qin Shaotian lives has little relationship with the household department.

Taichang Temple is in charge of religious etiquette, and has some relationship with the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Household Affairs, in charge of land, household registration, taxation and finance, really has nothing to do with Taichang Temple.

Holding the post at the time, Luo Yunrui's mind recalled the birthday banquet of Princess Ruimin she attended when she first came to the capital.It was also during that birthday banquet that she met the daughter-in-law of Shangshu Hubu...

"Mother, don't worry too much about it. It's been more than a year. If you think about it, even the eldest wife of the Gu family won't always keep it in mind." After a long silence, Luo Yunrui still spoke out to comfort her.

Consolation can only be consolation, the eldest wife of the Qin family is not Qin Xi, how could she not hear it?
"Rui'er, don't persuade me. Is our family comparable to the Gu family? Leaving aside Mr. Gu, who is now the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Gu family's reputation for a century alone is not something we can provoke. It’s not because of what happened last year, I really can’t figure out why they invited us.”

It clearly stated on the post that the four masters of the Qin family were invited.Of course, when the banquet really started, the male guests and the female guests were separated, and each was entertained by the hostess and hostess who cared about their families.However, for an invitation like this, Qin Shaotian can get a post, which is already a great deal of face. As for the eldest wife of the Qin family and Luo Yunrui, compared with the century-old Gu family, they are really not enough!
"Soldiers come to block the water and cover the earth. The Gu family is indeed very important in the capital, but even the royal family can't marry by force? Although our Qin family is not as good as the Gu family, it is not at the mercy of others. If you want to come under the feet of the emperor, the Gu family still wants to marry you." It's more taboo." Luo Yunrui paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Mother, if you think about it this way, it's still very rare for a weirdo who is as shameless as an aunt these days."

Originally, the eldest wife of the Qin family was still a little worried, but after hearing Luo Yunrui's last words, she couldn't help being happy.

"You're such a quick-talking child." Looking at Luo Yunrui reproachfully, the eldest wife of the Qin family couldn't help thinking that if Qin Xi had half of Luo Yunrui's abilities, she wouldn't have to worry about being like this as a mother. .

"The Gu family's banquet is a must. No matter what, they sent a post. If we don't come, it would be unreasonable for us. As for Mrs. Gu's family, I really don't need to be too jealous. With some ability, the eldest wife of the Gu family is not a person who can force others, and if she really can use force, then her second son will not be married by now."

Seeing that what Luo Yunrui said was reasonable, Mrs. Qin's uneasy mood calmed down a little.

Two days later, the Qin family's carriage drove towards the Gu family. There were only the eldest wife of the Qin family, Luo Yunrui and Qin Xi in the carriage. As for Qin Shaotian, he would come to the Gu family with his colleagues after he was released from the government office.

The three female relatives of the Qin family were received by the elder mistress of the Gu family.It is said that this eldest young lady is of royal blood, and her natal ancestor once married a princess, even now, she is considered a wealthy family.Looking at her style, she really looks like a noble wife.However, Luo Yunrui also heard that all the people next to this young mistress of the Gu family are good, whether it is birth or dowry, or her own appearance and talent, she was the first in the capital when she was not married. .

The problem is that no one is perfect. The only thing wrong with this young lady of the Gu family is that she has never been pregnant since entering the door.

Concerned about going to the mother's family of the eldest young lady of the Gu family, and the Gu family always flaunting their cleanliness, there is no concubine in the room of the eldest young master of the Gu family.However, the young master of the Gu family will be [-] years old in one year. If the young lady of the Gu family still has nothing to do, the Gu family may not be able to bear it anymore.

It's strange to say that although the Gu family is a hundred-year-old family, this heir is extremely weak.The elder of the Gu family has been single-passed for seven generations. Even if there is a concubine, they will at most give birth to a concubine.In the generation of the eldest young master of the Gu family, there is an additional second young master, but the second young master of the Gu family who has been outstanding since he was a child became disabled a few years ago!
Several thoughts turned in her mind, Luo Yunrui smiled and greeted the acquaintances, her eyes swept across the Gu family's young lady without leaving a trace.To be honest, Luo Yunrui has understood one thing ever since she studied medicine with Wawa. She really can't blame the woman for having a baby.The seven generations of the Gu family are single-handed. In some respects, the man of the Gu family is indeed not prosperous.

What made Luo Yunrui feel relieved was that after coming to the Gu family for more than half an hour, the eldest wife of the Gu family never showed up.

"Mother, let me take Xi'er with you. You can go and chat with your friends." Luo Yunrui said softly, looking at a group of noble ladies who are about the same age as the eldest wife of the Qin family.These noble wives have always been the targets of the eldest wife of the Qin family. After all, young mistresses like Luo Yunrui have no idea about their uncle's marriage. .Therefore, if Qin Xi wants to get married, she must go through this group of noble wives.

Luo Yunrui understands that, in fact, the eldest wife of the Qin family has very low goals in choosing a son-in-law. She just wants the other party's family to be simple and treat Qin Xi well, and she doesn't care about anything else.But obviously, the eldest wife of the Qin family has never found her target, and now she has started to inquire about the concubine of a wealthy family.Although it is not pleasant for the eldest daughter of the Qin family to marry a concubine, if Qin Xi cannot marry again, the reputation of the Qin family will be even worse.

Taking Qin Xi to walk among the young mistresses, Luo Yunrui suddenly stopped: "Xi'er, is that Xiaodie? Do you want to go over and have a chat with her?"

Xiaodie, whose full name is Zhou Diewu, is also from a wealthy family.It's just that she is not the eldest daughter like Qin Xi, but the fifth daughter who is not favored by the family.But compared to Qin Xi, Zhou Diewu is extraordinarily cheerful and lively, and she is also the only friend Qin Xi has made in the capital for more than a year.
