Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 262 Letter from Luzhou City

It is not easy to know what the old lady of the Qin family is hiding.Even if you can send someone back to Luzhou City to inform you about the situation here, and then inquire about it separately, it will take a lot of time.In particular, Luo Yunrui felt that since the old lady of the Qin family had already concealed them, it would not be so easy to tell the whole truth.

As for the matter of returning to the family, it has been settled. After all, recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan is a major event, and Luo Yunrui will never allow her to object.However, because of Luo Yunrui's suggestion, Qin Shaotian planned to put the matter aside and make a decision after definite news came from Luzhou City.In the final analysis, although the second master of the Qin family is a concubine, he has worked hard even if he has no credit over the years. In addition, he is an elder after all, so he still has to follow his opinions.

Qin Shaotian planned that if the second master of the Qin family agreed to this matter, they would recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors together.If you don't want to because of other reasons, it's okay.Anyway, this branch of the Qin family will have to wait until next year's big sacrifice to truly return to the original family, as long as the two families are separated before then.In private, Qin Shaotian told Luo Yunrui that if the second master of the Qin family doesn't want to come to the capital, they can also leave him a few shops. After all, they are relatives, and they don't have to enjoy the blessings in the capital, but let the second master of the Qin family take him Suffering with an old snack?
Naturally, Luo Yunrui has no objection. She has never had any special views on the second wife of the Qin family, because since she married into the Qin family, the second wife of the Qin family has never interfered with her.But Luo Yunrui also has that temperament, people don't offend me and I don't offend others, and there is nothing wrong with each other.

From the capital city to Luzhou City, the journey is still relatively long.Fortunately, the servants who deliver the letters are not as weak as Luo Yunrui and the others who are their masters. The journey that originally took at least two or three months back and forth has been shortened by more than half.

Even though he received a reply letter from Luzhou City a month later, at this time, Qin Shaotian had already taken his mother and wife to his home.As Qin Shaotian described, the life in my family is probably not going well.Although the house is still huge, there are not many precious pieces of furniture in it. Luo Yunrui has seen a lot of good things since she was a child, among other things, it can be seen from the clothes of the elders of the clan.The material of those clothes is not bad, but the style is outdated. Looking at their gestures and gestures, they inadvertently show the appearance of cherishing, and you can know how hard these Zong elders are living.

Seeing everything in his eyes, he took the time to look at each other with Mrs. Qin's family.Looking at the expression of the eldest wife of the Qin family, it is obvious that she also sees a problem, but as a side branch, no matter how poor the direct wife is, she is higher than them in terms of status.

Because that time, the eldest wife of the Qin family and Luo Yunrui both went together, and it wasn't just the elders of Zong who came out to greet the guests.Although they were all relatives, the ones who came out to receive their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also female relatives.If it is said that the men's clothes can only be distinguished by the material and style, then the women's dress can explain the problem.

Visiting relatives, plus the fact that the Qin family has not been contacted for a long time, whether it is the eldest wife of the Qin family or Luo Yunrui, they have all dressed up carefully.Qin Shaotian just changed into a new dress, but their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wore a full set of attire, a complete set of head and face jewelry, and a hint of green that inadvertently flashed from the cuffs, all of which explained many problems.The female relatives who received their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had obviously dressed up, but apart from two very old gold hairpins and a bracelet that had turned black, there was nothing else.

Secretly paying attention to all this, Luo Yunrui inquired about some things with the other party without leaving any trace.

It doesn't matter if the family is poor, even if they really recognize their ancestors, but each house is in charge of each house, there is no reason for them to spend money.Of course, if the people in the family are poor and starving to death, but their branch certainly cannot stand idly by.But looking carefully, although the family doesn't have much money, there should be mansions and fields, and there are servants. It seems that they are just a little short of money, and they are far from starving to death.

Because of these doubts, although Luo Yunrui didn't express it on the spot, after returning home, she ordered someone to investigate in private.It's just that my family has long been in decline, and it's completely different from the circle that Luo Yunrui usually contacts.It's not really impossible to find out, but it is necessary to find clues through some special channels.

When the servants who were going to deliver the letter to Luzhou City just arrived, the person in charge of inquiring about the news of the family also came.Both parties sent letters. After all, some words are not convenient for people to send by mouth.

The eldest wife of the Qin family first reached out to take the letter from Luzhou City. Judging from the lettering on the envelope, it should be written by the second master of the Qin family.Luo Yunrui took another letter that was put aside, which was about some situations of my family.

The situation of my family is not too complicated. After all, it may take a lot of words to describe the promotion and fortune, but the decline is just a sentence.My family originally started with poetry and calligraphy, but in the past hundred years, there have been almost no one who can shine in the family.If it's just like this, it's fine, anyway, the family has a lot of money, so it won't fall to this point.The problem is that not only are they incapable of being officials, but they also disdain businessmen.Those who come and go, just sit and eat like this, and after decades, the family fortune will also decline.

The letter was very simple, only one page in total, but there was another thing written at the back, saying that in about five or six years, several brothers from the direct line of the family went out to play together, and they didn't want to have fun in the place where they had fun that day. There was a fire, and none of those people came out alive.This is not a big deal, nor is it a small thing.Because the place to have fun is not something that can be said, and there are no noble people, this matter will be left alone.However, that accident brought a lot of trouble to the family. The most serious thing was that the missing brothers were all direct descendants of the family and cousins ​​of the same generation.

Looking up at Mrs. Qin's family, seeing that she was still reading the letter seriously, Luo Yunrui read it again from beginning to end without urging her.

On the other side of the family, there are two problems in total, one is that the family is in decline, and the other is that there are few children.

However, these two problems are the most difficult to deal with.

"Rui'er, your second uncle asked for a separation." The eldest wife of the Qin family finally read the letter, but her face was a little ugly.

Luo Yunrui was very surprised. Originally, she said that she would respect the second master of the Qin family, but it was just a scene. After all, in her opinion, ordinary people would definitely choose to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.Of course, considering the identity of the second master of the Qin family as a concubine, and the fact that he has always lived in Luzhou City, he might have other choices.But Luo Yunrui still didn't expect that the second master of the Qin family would directly ask for a separation.

"Mother, second uncle, didn't he say anything else?"

Pushing the letter to Luo Yunrui, the eldest wife of the Qin family closed her eyes: "The letter said that he hugged his grandson two months ago."

The second young mistress of the Qin family gave birth to the boy. As for the third young mistress Xue Shi, she is also pregnant and said she will give birth in the second half of the year.This is not what Luo Yunrui cares about. She has no contact with the second wife of the Qin family on weekdays. Even if the second wife has a queen, she will not be too excited.What made her feel distressed was that it was written in the letter that the old lady of the Qin family asked to go to the capital in a few days.

When leaving Luzhou City, Luo Yunrui used the matter of going to the capital to threaten the old lady of the Qin family, but in the end it was just lip service.At that time, if the old lady of the Qin family really chose to go to the capital with them, she would definitely persuade them.It is one thing to worry about the old lady of the Qin family, but Luo Yunrui will not deny that she does not want to live with this stubborn old lady of the Qin family.

"Mother, grandma is going to the capital, you see..."

To be honest, the eldest wife of the Qin family is more unwilling to live with this person than Luo Yunrui. After all, Luo Yunrui is just a granddaughter-in-law with two young children to take care of.But the eldest wife of the Qin family is the daughter-in-law, and it is only natural to serve her mother-in-law. In addition, Qin Xi is also married now, and Qin Shaotian doesn't need her to worry about it. Take care of it day and night.

"Let's talk about this matter. When Shaotian comes back, I still have to talk to him about the division of the family. If the family is really divided, we have to go back to Luzhou City. After all, your second uncle is already in charge of some industries. It has been decades, and he suddenly let go of him like this, and some of us are bothered." Most of the properties of the Qin family are in Luzhou City, even if those properties are profitable, it is too late to sell them all at once. impossible.In addition, the industry has to be gradually moved to the capital, which is really not something that can be done in a while.

After doing this calculation, let alone the eldest wife of the Qin family, even Luo Yunrui started to have a headache.

You know, from the very beginning, the Qin family never thought about staying in the capital forever.Generally speaking, in situations like Qin Shaotian's, it's usually outsiders.However, because Qin Shaotian performed very well on the issue of cleaning up the centuries-old family in Changzhou City before, he was favored by Shangfeng. In addition, he studied in the capital when he was young and had some contacts, so he It is possible to find a casual job in the capital in a stable manner.

However, a temporary idle job does not mean a lifetime idle job, even if Luo Yunrui doesn't understand much about official affairs, she also knows that no one can stay in the same position for a lifetime.There are generally two situations for people who get idle jobs, one is a stunned young man, and the other is a person who is planning to retire.

Qin Shaotian was originally transferred to the capital because of his outstanding ability, but also because he was too young and could not be arranged for many important official positions, so he was temporarily placed in the Taichang Temple.In just two years, and it doesn't even take that long, he will be transferred to another place to take up an important position.And when he was 50 or [-] years old, it would not be difficult to find an official position in Luzhou City, if nothing else happened.

Therefore, the Qin family never planned to give up the property in Luzhou City.Anyway, it has been in business for decades, who is willing?
