Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 412 Between the trade-offs
What the eldest wife of the Luo family wanted to tell Luo Yunrui was nothing else, but that the Luo family wanted to develop in the capital.

Luzhou City seems to be prosperous, but it is mainly close to the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and the business is very prosperous.But for those who are officials, this side may not be suitable.Of course, it would be nice if he could go to a local office, but it's a pity that the old master of the Luo family gave up his chance to be a local official before returning to Luzhou City.

At that time, the old man of the Luo family was thinking about returning the fallen leaves to their roots. He always felt that after working hard for half his life, seeing that the children were growing up and their parents were also old, as the eldest son, he should return to his parents to fulfill his filial piety.

It was precisely because of this that he gave up his great future at that time and changed to a fifth-rank idle job.

The fifth-rank official sounds quite prestigious, but if the old master of the Luo family hadn't returned to Luzhou City at that time, with his qualifications, he might have been a sixth-rank official now.Of course, it's impossible to go any further, but it's still better than having only one idle job who can't eat enough and starve to death, right?

In fact, the original choice was not entirely due to filial piety.

The eldest master of the Luo family was born of the old man's original spouse, while the second master of the Luo family was born of his second wife.There is not much difference in age between the two, and it is inevitable that there will be some comparisons between them.

Previously, the eldest master of the Luo family was better than the second master of the Luo family, no matter in terms of background, knowledge, or experience in dealing with people.But he also understands that besides relying on his own efforts, these things are more dependent on his biological mother's natal family.His grandparents pity him for not having a biological mother since he was a child, and treat him better than his own grandson, but after all, this relationship cannot last for a long time.After the death of his grandparents, the old master of the Luo family didn't plan to rely on that side anymore.Perhaps in the first few years, the uncles would still treat him well in terms of their past affection, but as the days go by...

Rather than relying on others for the rest of his life, it would be better to go back to Luzhou City directly, at least the Luo family's family business will always belong to him.

On the surface, the elder of the Luo family treated his half-brother's family fairly well, but in fact, these were just a matter of saving face.

While not harming his own interests, the elder of the Luo family didn't mind helping his younger brother.But once the issue of interests is involved, he would rather tear his face apart than be divided up.Especially, after he had a legitimate son.

When the Luo family had a split, Luo Yunrui was already married. Although Luo Zhang trusted and relied on Luo Yunrui, it was impossible to bother her with everything.Besides, when the family was separated, the Qin family was not peaceful, so some things were covered up and never said.After all, if you endure it, even if the family is separated, you will still be relatives when you meet in the future. If the quarrel is really too stiff, it will be of no benefit to anyone.

The result of the division of the Luo family seems to be happy for everyone, but in fact, both parties have made concessions.Fortunately, there is still some face left, especially it has not affected the married daughter of the two families.

Fortunately, this is the case, and the eldest family of the Luo family has more opportunities to maneuver.

There is a saying that in 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, some things still pay attention to one's luck.

At first, I felt that the second room of the Luo family was useless.The second master has no skills, but wants to pretend to be that pedantic scholar.Luozhang's temperament is so weak that he can't even restrain the concubines in the room.Luo Yunrui's appearance is good, but her temperament is more like Luo Zhang's, which is really helpless.And that concubine daughter, arrogant and self-willed, I really don't know if she spoiled her like a concubine daughter or deliberately flattered her.

This is the second bedroom of the Luo family when he first returned to Luzhou City more than ten years ago.

But these years have passed, and now the second room of the Luo family is making the old man of the Luo family sigh more and more.

It seems that all the changes happened after the eldest daughter of the family got married, maybe this is luck.

My eldest daughter thought she was married to Gao, but she never thought that such a terrible thing would happen later.As for the second wife of the Luo family, Luo Zhang was pregnant first and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, so the luck was transferred to them.

Leaving aside the sudden appearance of the concubine, the dragon and phoenix twins born out of the Luozhang family are extremely outstanding.

It is said that Brother Rui is prudent and decent, and Lei'er is naughty and willful, but the elder of the Luo family can see clearly that Lei'er's temperament is somewhat similar to that of his eldest daughter when she was a child.Naughty is naughty, but a pair of eyes can see things clearly, as long as she doesn't fall into a situation that is too unbearable, I believe that Lei'er can live a comfortable life by herself.

As for Brother Rui, let alone, I am afraid that the prosperity of the second wife of the Luo family rests on him.

In fact, it's completely different between a family with a son and a family without a son.The old man of the Luo family originally thought that it would be fine to spend his life in a daze, and he didn't need to care too much about money, as long as he had enough to spend.In terms of official career, if you can advance, you will advance, and if you cannot advance, you will not force it.

The reason why he thinks this way is nothing more than because he has no legitimate son.Although the eldest son of the concubine has always been raised as his son, it is always different.

But after Brother Wei was born, the elder of the Luo family had no choice but to plan for Brother Wei's future.Seeing that the second room of the Luo family moved to the capital for Brother Rui's future, and with her married sister and brother-in-law taking care of her, her achievements in the future will not be bad.Involuntarily, he became more and more worried about brother Wei.

"Brother Wei is getting older. Although the teacher I hired for him is also excellent, and I personally teach him on weekdays, but... it would be great if he can also be admitted to the Taixue in two years."

If you are admitted to Taixue, as long as you don't do something outrageous, your future will definitely be bright.Even if there are some people who are not well adapted to the officialdom, it is very good if they don't grow up to be idle in a certain Imperial Academy, or return to official schools to be a gentleman.

Not bad is not bad, but it is really not easy to be admitted to Taixue.

The old man of the Luo family is not the ignorant aunt of the Qin family, he is a scholar, and he is very aware of the status of the Imperial Academy in this dynasty.Not to mention Qin Shaotian, a small official, even a person with royal blood, at most, his standards were slightly lowered.It is absolutely impossible to open a back door to make an exception for admission.

Scholars are somewhat pedantic, and the gentlemen of Taixue are even more pedantic.But when Emperor Taizu established Taixue, he set extremely strict rules.Those who work in Taixue are allowed not to participate in any factional disputes, are allowed to recruit students independently, and are given the right to advise.

The so-called right of admonishment is to face directly those in power and express one's own thoughts, and no matter what is said, those in power are not allowed to impose any punishment and must cooperate as much as possible.

It can be said that if there are those unsightly imperial relatives who really want to take action against Taixue, then as an academician of Taixue, they can ask for a face-to-face and give a stern warning to those who dare to take action.

"Too learned..."

Seeing the old man of the Luo family sighing, the eldest wife of the Luo family felt uncomfortable.She was originally a relative of the Luo family's grandpa's grandfather's family. Her background was not low, and she had never suffered any grievances since she was a child. Apart from not having a son for more than ten years after her marriage, she did not encounter too many bad things.Feeling his conscience, he said that the old master of the Luo family treated her well.

Because of this, seeing the old man of the Luo family looking like this, the eldest wife of the Luo family wanted to comfort her, but she was more distressed.

"Master, I was going to mention this to Rui'er today, but I didn't know how to open my mouth for a while, so I made an appointment with her to get together again before the Qin family left Luzhou City."

"That's fine, let me think about it again."

The elder of the Luo family intends to pave a smooth road for Brother Wei's future, but he is not willing to give up the matter of Luzhou City completely.

Unlike Qin Shaotian, Qin Shaotian didn't spend much time in Luzhou City since he was a child. He studied in the capital since he was a child, and he is more adaptable to the life in the capital.Even if he went to Changzhou City for two years after getting married, it was mainly for an experience. Whenever there is a chance in the future, he will definitely go to the capital again.After all, Qin Shaotian's husband and classmates are all in the capital, and this network is extremely important for an official.

The situation of the second master of the Luo family is different from that of Qin Shaotian. He has not developed better, but has completely lost his development.

As for people, that’s how it is. If you have something good at hand, you are not willing to give it up. After all, no one can guarantee that there will be something better after giving up.But those who have nothing make more decisive decisions.

For example: the second master of the Luo family.

After the Luo family split up, most of the property he received was money. Although there were Zhuangzi shops, the number was relatively small, and they were all the dowry of the old lady of the Luo family.In addition, Luo Yunrui went to the capital with Qin Shaotian, and Brother Rui was extremely knowledgeable, so he resigned from his official position and went to the capital.Not for anything else, but to give Brother Rui a good future.Anyway, no matter what the result is, it's better than staying in Luzhou City.

After thinking about it again and again, the old master of the Luo family was still a little hesitant.

If he gave up his official position, it is absolutely impossible for him to seek another official position in the capital.After all, he is still a fifth-rank official now, if he is a seventh-rank official, if he puts a little thought into it, he can find a job somewhere in the capital.But it is really difficult for the officials of the fifth rank.

Do you want him to resign and become a husband just like the second master of the Luo family?
It is true that the elder of the Luo family thought that his knowledge was good, but he still hesitated if he really wanted him to be a teacher.

There is no need to think about Tai Xue, the children of government schools are too young, he is really unwilling to lower his status.But what else could he do besides these?If he was older, he could have retired directly, but it just happened to be stuck at this level...

When the Qin family was busy with the matter of returning to the capital, the head of the Luo family was really grey-haired.

To be willing to be willing, to be willing to have a reward.

But when it's time to give up, how many people can make such a big determination?
