Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 268 The Concubine of the Luo Family
Hearing what Luo Zhang said, Luo Yunrui felt relieved.

For one thing, what Mrs. Luo Zhang said just now clearly meant that the second master of the Luo family often came to her place, and the relationship between their husband and wife is better than when they were young.Secondly, the biggest wish of the second master of the Luo family is that Brother Rui can rise to the top of the world. If he knew that Qin Shaotian was willing to find a famous teacher for Brother Rui, how could he not agree?

After a while, Lei'er, who was a female celebrity, left school and rushed in holding an embroidered handkerchief as if offering a treasure.Luo Zhangshi was angry and funny, and asked Lei'er to salute Luo Yunrui first.

Luo Yunrui really loves her sister-in-law. Before she got married, Luo Yunrui made rules for Lei'er more than once.But now after some years, Lei'er is no longer the naughty little girl she used to be all day long, and Luo Yunrui is already a mother of two children, and she is more tolerant towards Lei'er.

"Look, it's just that we haven't seen each other for two years, and our little Lei'er has grown into a big girl." Luo Yunrui looked at Lei'er with a smile, thinking that she would be able to see her husband-in-law for Lei'er in a few years , this day flies really fast.

"What big girl? Isn't she just jumping around every day and not doing anything right? Sigh, I really don't know who will be so unlucky in the future!" Although Luo Zhang blamed her a little bit, in her heart she regarded Lei'er as a The treasure in the palm is just that every time she thinks of Luo Yunrui's well-behaved appearance when she was a child, she really feels helpless for this naughty little daughter.

Luo Yunrui covered her mouth and snickered, while Lei'er was extremely embarrassed.She is only three or four years younger than Qin Xi. Qin Xi is already married, and the four concubines of the eldest house have also been engaged one after another, and they will only wait until Ji to get married.These days, the embroiderer who taught her how to be a red girl also mentioned that she can start embroidering dowry, so she understands what her mother and sister are joking about.

Seeing Lei'er bowing her head in silence, Luo Zhang also felt strange, and she also thought of the marriage of the four concubine daughters in the Dafang: "Ruier, you don't know yet, do you? There are four concubines like you in the Dafang." Sister? I don’t pay much attention to them on weekdays, but two of them got engaged last month.”

Hearing Mrs. Luo Zhang mention it, Luo Yunrui remembered the four concubines who used to live in the same courtyard with her concubine sister.But to be honest, even she didn't pay much attention to the four cousins.In the past, when she was not married, she would sometimes go to the concubine's yard to talk. At that time, she occasionally met a few times, but if she had any impressions, she really couldn't remember clearly.

"It's a good thing. I don't know what kind of husband-in-law the eldest aunt chose for them?"

Luo's family is a family of officials and eunuchs, and the status of the concubine of the head house is not low, but it is enough to marry a small family and a small family to be a regular wife.

"It's strange to say that the four concubines are about the same age, the oldest fourth and the youngest seventh are only two or three months apart. The first to get married are the fourth and seventh." Mrs. Luo Zhang The four concubine daughters of Dafang are really not familiar with each other. Although they all know their names, they still can't tell which one is which.She is like this, let alone Luo Yunrui who married off early in the morning.Although Lei'er is similar to them in age, after all, the difference between the concubine and the concubine is there, and they are not in the same room. On weekdays, Lei'er would rather play with Brother Rui every day than go to the four concubines. .

"It's a little strange, why are you only betrothed to the fourth and seventh?" The four concubines in the big house were all born by the dowry maids who were next to the eldest wife of the Luo family. In terms of status, they are exactly the same.Moreover, a concubine's daughter is different from a concubine's daughter. If it is a marriage of a concubine's daughter, she will ask her what she thinks, but for a concubine's daughter, she doesn't have to care too much.As long as they can save face, and the eldest wife of the Luo family is usually a bit strong, no one will care what they think.

Mrs. Luozhang shook her head, with a puzzled look on her face: "I didn't ask your aunt, but since she did it, she has her reasons."

Luo Yunrui knew that Luo Zhang had always been a nosy person, not to mention the marriage of the concubine's daughter really had nothing to do with her.Even if the eldest wife of the Luo family married the concubine at will, Mrs. Luo and Zhang could not intervene.However, Luo Yunrui thought about it for a while, and felt something.

"Mother, I remember Dafang has twins, right?"

"Yeah, it seems that they are the fifth and the sixth who are not engaged. Huh? Could it be that it is because of the twins that it is difficult to get married?" Even Mrs. Luo Zhang didn't believe it. Apart from the fact that the twins are not easy to support, there is no problem. Nothing bad either.What's more, the twin sisters are almost reaching the age of ji now, and the time for easy death has long passed.Besides, the sisters of the Luo family, no matter they are descendants of concubines or descendants of concubines, they look very good in terms of appearance.

Luo Yunrui lowered her head and pursed her lips, her face was dark and unclear: "Mother, those two concubine daughters who have already engaged in marriage, who are they matched with?"

"It's a very ordinary merchant's family. I remember that the oldest one seems to be the eldest son who married a merchant's family. The family background of the other party is good, but both parents died, which is a bit unlucky. There are several younger siblings below, but married In the future, he can be the master of the family immediately. The other one is similar, his family background seems to be worse, but he has both parents, but the other party is an only child, which is not bad."

Strictly speaking, these two marriages are not bad, Luo Yunrui thinks that as long as the concubine can marry the eldest son, it is not bad, it is better than being a concubine for someone else's family.However, as far as the Luo family is concerned, after the two concubines of Dafang get married, they will not do any good to the Luo family. Not to mention a dowry, the help from this merchant family to the Luo family is almost zero.In contrast, if you marry a concubine to a higher family as a concubine, you can get more or less benefits.

"Mother, isn't Auntie planning to betroth the twin sisters as concubines?"

"What?" Mrs. Luo Zhang was very surprised, but then nodded thoughtfully: "This...it's really hard to say, that's all, anyway, it's about the big house, so there's no reason for us to interrupt. Rui'er, if you When I'm free, I'll help Lei'er to see each other."

Luo Yunrui thinks about it too, what can she say about the matter of the first wife of the Luo family, a daughter who is married to the second wife?He looked at Lei'er, who lowered her head abruptly and said nothing.

Lei'er didn't expect her mother and sister to talk well, but suddenly the topic came to her.As for the possibility of Dafang's twin concubines serving as concubines for other people, she didn't care too much.You must know that a concubine is usually not allowed to be a concubine, except of course the royal family.But with the status of the Luo family, it is impossible to climb up to the royal family, and she has no need to worry about herself.

Seeing that Lei'er, who has always been carefree, now looks extremely shy with lowered eyebrows, Luo Yunrui has a bad intention, and deliberately teases: "Our Lei'er is not young, tell my sister, we want to see you in the future. What kind of one are you looking for?"

Being teased so bluntly, even the always mischievous Lei'er couldn't stand it, she quickly ran to Luo Zhang's side, and went straight into her arms: "Mother! Look at my sister, she bullies me, sister is good!" Bad or bad!"

"Oh? What's wrong with my sister?" Luo Yunrui became more and more excited: "Could it be that my sister hit Lei'er's heart? Tsk tsk, she has grown up."

Seeing that Lei'er was really shy, Mrs. Luo Zhang felt distressed: "Rui'er, don't bury your sister, I just want you to pay attention to whether there is a suitable candidate, but I didn't let you bully your sister like this."

Luo Yunrui laughed heartily, and when she was about to comfort Lei'er who was flushed by her teasing, the maid came to report that the second master of the Luo family had brought Qin Shaotian over, so she stopped talking.Lei'er took the opportunity to stick out her tongue at Luo Yunrui, and then hid behind Luo Zhang.She is still young, and Qin Shaotian is her brother-in-law, so there is no need to avoid it too much.

Originally, Luo Yunrui wanted to talk to the second master of the Luo family about Brother Rui's going to study in the capital, but Qin Shaotian had already said it just now.And the result was just as Luo Yunrui thought, the second master of the Luo family agreed to the matter. In his opinion, there was nothing more important than Brother Rui's future.Although Luozhang was a little bit reluctant, she had always been used to listening to the words of the second master of the Luo family, and no matter how reluctant she was, she never objected.

Afterwards, Mrs. Luozhang asked her personal maid to find the waist pendant in the dowry box. It was a personal item of Mrs. Luo Zhang's father. Chic, the fineness can be considered, but it is not worth much.Qin Shaotian reckoned that it would not be bad if he could sell it for 80 taels, so the old man must have really come here to blackmail him.

The waist pendant was returned to the Luo Zhang family later, because the second master of the Luo family had discussed with Qin Shaotian that when Qin Shaotian and the others were about to leave for Beijing in a few days, the Luo family would also go with them.Apart from the matter of the old man, the second master of the Luo family cared more about whether he could find a famous teacher for Brother Rui.

The day of returning to the capital is tentatively set for Qin Shaotian in two months. He no longer has any hope of returning to his family, but after all, he has not returned for two years, and he reckons that he may have to stay in the capital for a few years, so he plans to sell part of his family property Then go to the capital to buy some property.After all, as the capital is at the foot of the emperor, the properties bought can be more profitable.

Because she knew that she would meet again in a while, when Mrs. Luo Zhang sent Luo Yunrui away, she was not particularly sad. Instead, she was thinking about how much she would prepare in case Brother Rui would stay in the capital for several years.Even Luozhang plans to stay with Brother Rui all the time, in her mind, the status of her children will always be higher than that of her husband.There is no way, in the years when she first married into the Luo family, the second master of the Luo family brought her too much disappointment, and she believed in her children even more.
