Chapter 129 Luo Mingdu's Engagement

Fang Shi really called Luo Mingdu, and asked her what she meant, the child was thin-skinned, Fang Shi asked a few words, and she lowered her head in embarrassment and remained silent.

Luo Tiandu said: "What's the point of asking, seeing what Eldest Sister means, she doesn't want it. Our family is fine, why marry someone like that."

Fang frowned, glared at her, and said, "I just want to ask your elder sister what you mean, what are you in such a hurry for? When I say goodbye to you in the future, I will also ask you what you mean. Now Don't make trouble." Seeing that Luo Tiandu was still puffed up, with a look of reluctance, he couldn't help saying earnestly, "I know you are worried about the wealth of the Qi family, and that your eldest sister will be bullied when she gets married, but As a daughter-in-law in the world, you can never be as happy as when you were a daughter in your natal family. If you marry a farmer, there is no right or wrong? Think about your grandma and your second uncle? Isn't it the same unbearable anger? You and you The eldest sister was born to me, and I only have you two daughters. I always hope that you two can live a life of ease and contentment. You don’t have to be like me, working hard every day and relying on people’s faces to barely have a bite to eat. "

Of course Luo Tian knows that life in this world is not easy, especially the people living at the bottom are really struggling for food and clothing.Her family is not bad. Adding up beekeeping and selling some snacks and odds and ends, she can earn 200 or [-] taels of silver. It costs two cents to spend, that is, the diet is a little more refined. Fang's family still has to work in the fields every day, and her eldest sister also has to herd cattle, cut pigweed, and wash clothes every day. Can be free.Not only her family is like this, but also in the homes of ordinary small landlords, the landlord and the landlord's wife also have to work in the field, unless it is really the kind of big landlord with a lot of money, and there are hundreds of fertile land in the family, it is possible to sit on the ground. The family does not work, and they can live well every year just relying on the rent.Fang wanted Luo Mingdu to marry better, so that he would be able to eat and drink without worrying about it, and he would not have to work hard all his life like her. The intention was good, but Luo Tian didn't really think that the Qi family was a kind family. Marrying in the past may not be so good.

Fang asked strangely: "Why don't you like the Qi family?"

"I just don't like it. Their Qi family's attitude towards people is the same as treating an item. If you can get benefits, they will come to get close to you, and if they are useless, they will get rid of them." In this way, the Qi family did the same to Luo Baihan.

Uncle Gu also saw the strangeness and said: "What's so strange about this, isn't everyone in the world like this? People in the world are after profit, if you are useless, why should people treat you well? What your mother said doesn't make sense either. Well, if you marry an ordinary farmer, you also have to deal with your parents-in-law and sister-in-law, and worry about your livelihood. It's better to marry someone with a better family, with Young Master Sun around, at least their family dare not bully Miss Sun."

It was probably when the Qi family saw that the Luo family had remained silent. During the Lantern Festival, the eldest son Qi personally brought Qi Jin to visit Luo Baisu, and inevitably talked about the marriage of the two families.

Qi Jin is 16 years old this year. He is just young and born well. He has studied for two years and is wrapped in a layer of brocade clothes. He really looks like a good boy.Fang Shi and Gu Bo were originally only three-point willing for this marriage, but now they added a little more, and even Luo Ming looked at Qi Jin a few more times.

Looking at Fang's and Gu Bo's performance, Luo Tian gritted his teeth with hatred towards the Qi family brothers. He felt that Mr. Qi's visit to Luo's village at this time was not to visit Luo Baisu at all, but to treat Luo Baisu. Her family played a beauty trick.

After the eldest son of Qi repeatedly assured that in the future, the entire Qi family would definitely treat Luo Mingdu as their own daughter, and Fang and Luo Baisu finally agreed to this marriage, and Luo Tiandu was so angry at home that it was useless.Fortunately, both families feel that the child is still young, and now it is just an engagement, and they will get married after a few years, and there is still room for rebirth in the future.

Knowing that Luo Mingdu and Qi Jin were engaged, many people in the village were very jealous. They felt that it was all thanks to Luo Baisu's blessing. Such a big landlord must also be looked down upon.All of a sudden, all the families in the village with children planned to start the new year, so they threw the children into the thatched cottage, studied with Luo Baihan for two years, and after learning a few words, they would send them to the school in the town. It expanded the source of students for Luo Baihan.

On the contrary, Yao Shi and Luo Baining had always had the idea of ​​getting married with the Qi family before, but now that Qi Jin and Luo Ming are engaged, they have some criticisms about this, saying that Luo Ming stole the good marriage that originally belonged to Luo Baining.

Luo Tian was very depressed, she didn't want Luo Mingdu to marry into the Qi family at all, okay, but she hoped that Luo Baining would have a bright future and be fascinated by Qi Jin, so she could justifiably retire.

Fang lost her temper at home and scolded: "I really committed a crime and came to their family to be a daughter-in-law. Could it be that Mingdu is not the granddaughter of the Luo family? What is she trying to do when a grandma slanders her granddaughter's reputation like this!"

Luo Baisu said: "It's spring, you all follow me to the office, stay far away, and avoid trouble."

Luo Tiandu was also worried about this matter.When spring begins, Luo Baisu should go to Beijing Mansion to take office. Although Beijing Mansion is adjacent to Huaxi Mansion, it is another state capital after all. It will take more than a month to go back and forth. She is really worried Let Luo Baisu take office alone.

Although Luo Baisu went to Beijing alone for a few years before, there was an essential difference between that and this time.At that time, Luo Baisu was going to study, and she also knew that Luo Baisu was frugal by nature, and the management of a place like an academy was strict, and Luo Baisu only devoted himself to books and had no chance to socialize; now the situation is completely It's different, Luo Baisu is a moderate official after all, when he takes office, no matter how clean he is, but in the officialdom, there are some entertainments that he can't refuse, in case a colleague or something gives him a gift It's really difficult to send a wine girl, a singer, or some distant relative to take care of him.She didn't want the family to live frugally at home, work hard, and finally earn some money, only to have to raise a few aunts in the end.

But it would not be appropriate for the whole family to leave the village and follow Luo Baisu to take office.

In this day and age, there is also an avoidance system for officials to be appointed, and they are not allowed to hold posts in places of origin or where there is family property. It is conceivable that no matter whether Luo Baisu is an official in the future, whether he is moved or demoted, it is inevitable that he will travel around.If their mother and daughter really followed Luo Baisu to the post, it would be a bit embarrassing to support a large family with only Luo Baisu's meager salary, not to mention the usual human relations.Besides, being an official is not an iron rice bowl. It is good to have an official position, and the court will have subsidies for clothing, food, housing, and transportation. She has to pay for it out of her own pocket. If she doesn't take advantage of the present to save more money and buy more property, in the future Luo Baisu and his wife will be old and unable to work anymore, and it will be difficult for them to earn a living.

What she meant was that it would be best if Fang could follow Luo Baisu to take up the post, but in this way, there would only be her and Luo Mingdu's two children in the family, and it would be inappropriate not to have an adult all year round.

It's really not good not to be an official, and it's not good to be an official. There are always a lot of bad things.

When Fang knew about her troubles, she couldn't help laughing, so she told Luo Baisu about it. Luo Baisu was speechless for a long time, and couldn't say a word.

"You said that this child is so young, why does he love to worry about so many things? No wonder she doesn't grow up. I think she has grown up with her brain." Fang laughed.

Luo Baisu had a thoughtful expression on his face: "Xiaodu is right. We are not like those families with deep foundations. We have no money in our hands and no powerful families to rely on. When we grow old, we really don't know what will happen. "

A commoner with no roots like him had a bright future in ten years of hard work and was awarded an official position. Unless he was a dishonest official and made a lot of money while in office, otherwise, after he retired from office, his evening scene would probably be bleak.Many senior officials in the court had to go to the fields to support themselves after retiring.

After a few days, Luo Baining finally settled on a marriage. I heard that the old lady of the Qi family was the matchmaker herself. The other party was a small landlord in Huaxi Mansion. His family was wealthy and he had only one son. If Luo Baining married, In the future, all the family property will belong to the young couple. The only inconvenience is that it is far away. Apart from this, there is nothing to choose.

Mrs. Yao was worried that Luo Baining was 17 years old and had already turned [-]. She hadn't found a place yet, and finally waited for someone to come to her door to propose a marriage. It was such a family that it was difficult to find even with a lantern, so she agreed immediately.She was afraid that the rumors that Luo Mingdu snatched Luo Baining's marriage from the past few days would affect this marriage, so she began to clarify the rumors in the village again, and she was too busy to touch the ground for a while.

Luo Tian couldn't help but think to himself, probably because the Qi family heard the rumors, that's why they told Luo Baining that they were relatives, and the Huaxi Mansion was said to be so far away.But no matter what, Luo Baining is finally getting married, which is considered a good thing.

When the first month is over and the rape blossoms are in bloom, Luo Baisu will also pack his bags and prepare to go to Beijing Mansion to take up his post.Although Fang was worried about Luo Baisu taking office alone, she still ruthlessly stayed at home. She is a mother, and although she was also worried about Luo Baisu, she was still not as important as her children.

In the end, Luo Tian came up with a compromise idea. During the slack season, let the Fang family go to Beijing Mansion to take care of Luo Baisu, and then come back when the farming season is busy. Travel expenses.

Fang thought it was the only way to go, so she discussed with Luo Baisu that after the spring plowing was over, she would go to Beijing Mansion.

When Luo Baining got married, Luo Baisu didn't come back when he was in office, only Fang's went to help for two days.

On the day of their marriage, Luo Tian saw Luo Baining's husband-in-law, who was tall and big, looked at him with a smile and looked honest and honest, and felt a little relieved.

Luo Baihan ruined his future, but now he is honestly nesting in the village and becoming a teacher with peace of mind, and Luo Baining is finally getting married now, God bless the two brothers and sisters to live in such a peaceful way all the time, don't make any more troubles There are waves.
