Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 458 Two Choices
But that's no excuse for trouble.

Originally, the second master of the Luo family was already very upset. Hearing Brother Xiang's confession in disguise, his mood suddenly fell to the bottom.Although he himself admitted that he didn't care much about this bastard, he didn't think he was sorry, at least he never treated him harshly in terms of basic necessities of life.Moreover, it is customary for the concubine to divide the family after marriage, unless there is no legitimate son, or the situation that the legitimate son is away from home all the year round, such as the Qin family.

This is not the case in the Keluo family. Brother Rui is very knowledgeable and has a bright future in the future.Although the two prostitutes are already married, they are both in the capital, and they often go back to their natal homes.One of the two sons-in-laws is in politics and the other is in business. Not to mention that they will help Brother Rui in the future, but at least they will never be a drag.

That's enough, the Luo family never needs Brother Xiang, a bastard.

Considering the New Year's Eve, the second master of the Luo family didn't want to make matters worse. After all, even if the concubine and his wife were at fault, he, as a father, couldn't escape the responsibility of being unfavorable in teaching.

"You guys get up first." He said lightly, although the second master of the Luo family had no expression on his face, his eyes were icy cold.

Brother Xiang and his wife didn't know the second master of the Luo family, seeing that the second master of the Luo family was not as angry as before, they thought their method had worked.After a little hesitation, the two stood up one after another.

"Sit down, all of you." This was said to Lei'er and Rui Ge'er, they avoided it just now.

Lei'er and Brother Rui looked at each other. They were twins. They had a very good relationship since childhood, and their tacit understanding was better than that of ordinary siblings.After discussing the countermeasures without leaving any trace, the two sat down, Lei'er bowed her head and said nothing, but Rui'er looked straight at her uncle.

The second master of the Luo family asked the maids to withdraw, while looking at Brother Xiang and his wife, he thought: "Brother Xiang, tell me, what exactly do you want to do?" Brother Xiang's wife spoke, and in his view, it was natural that Brother Xiang, the husband, should take the initiative in matters concerning the outside world.

Brother Kexiang's performance disappointed the second master of the Luo family.

"Father, I..." I took a condescending look at the second master of the Luo family. To be honest, I can't blame him. At this age, Brother Xiang actually spends very little time with the second master of the Luo family.Coupled with the fact that he was neglected since he was a child, it is inevitable that he has developed his current cowardly temperament.

Strictly speaking, Brother Xiang is not as cowardly as Qin Xi, but Qin Xi is a daughter and is loved by her mother and elder brother, even if she is a little cowardly, she will not be disliked.Brother Kexiang...

"Speak! I'll let you speak, and I'll give you a chance to speak. Just open your mouth if you want to say anything."

If it was said that brother Xiang still had the idea to tell, now he was too frightened to speak again when he heard such cold words from the second master of the Luo family.Tremblingly, he looked at his wife beside him, then lowered his head and said nothing.Seeing this useless look, the veins on the forehead of the second master of the Luo family twitched.

Although Brother Xiang's wife is also a concubine, she may have a good status in her natal family, but she is not as cowardly as Brother Xiang.

"We just want to stay home."

Luo Yunrui lowered her head to hide the smile in her eyes, it would be fine if it was someone else, but it happened to be in front of the second master of the Luo family.The second master of the Luo family dislikes other people interrupting without reason, especially when the other party is a woman who is insignificant in his eyes.

"presumptuous!"

Sure enough, as soon as Brother Xiang's wife finished speaking, the second master of the Luo family yelled.But soon, he realized that the time and place were wrong. He really shouldn't lose his composure like this in front of his two sons-in-law.But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the two people in front of him were an eyesore.Regardless of Brother Xiang, it is his son after all, but that woman...

"Hmph, you are a child but disrespect your elders, and you have always questioned your elders' decisions. Do you want me to drive you out of the house?"

Brother Xiang suddenly raised his head, his face full of disbelief.

After the concubine got married, he separated from the family and was expelled from the house by the head of the family. These two things have completely different meanings.

The former can only be regarded as a single transaction, there is no economic interest, but they are still relatives.The latter, on the other hand, was discredited and had no contact with the family ever since.

What the second master of the Luo family said was indeed too harsh, but unfortunately, everyone present did not react at all.For example, Mrs. Luo Zhang was a bit impatient, the two sons-in-law had nothing to do with her, but Luo Yunrui, her siblings, and the other three all had expressions of understanding.

Brother Xiang saw all of this. Although he knew from a young age that he was different from his sons and daughters, he had never made such a direct comparison before.Needless to say, Luo Yunrui, the age gap between them is there.But Brother Rui and Lei'er have been the objects of his envy since childhood.Usually he hides secretly in a corner alone, silently watching the interaction and love between the twin siblings and their parents, sometimes he even fantasizes if one day he can become one of them .

But as I grow older, things that I couldn't see clearly when I was a child are somewhat clear now.

But after all, he hadn't experienced anything, and with the instigation of his new wife, Brother Xiang decided to give it a go.Of course, the fundamental reason for this is that Brother Xiang really doesn't have the ability to make a living.

"Father, please don't do this, I don't know anything, if you drive me out, I will really die!"

Looking at the concubine with tears streaming down his face, the second master of the Luo family was still a little moved in his heart.But then he remembered what he had discussed with Mrs. Luo Zhang before, and suddenly lost his temper: "What nonsense are you talking about? Will I let you leave the house without leaving the house? Naturally, you can get a settling allowance, although in the future It's impossible to live as well as before, but it won't make you worry about making a living, right?"

This is the reason why the Luo family has now become a family of eunuchs again because of Brother Rui.But after they moved to the capital before, their main income was not the salary of the second master of the Luo family seeking employment in government schools, but from the property of the parents inherited by the second master of the Luo family and the dowry of the Luo Zhang family.

Let's put it this way, in terms of money, the Luo family is equivalent to a middle-class wealthy businessman's family in the capital.Even if Brother Xiang is not a legitimate son, the settling allowance will not be too small.

In the capital, the common people are counted as a family of five. If it is only counted for eating, drinking and chewing, three liang of silver is enough for a year.This is still in the capital city. If they moved to the suburbs, they would buy a small courtyard house and buy a thin field to grow vegetables and fruits to subsidize the family. It would cost them no more than two taels of silver a year.

Of course, this is only the most basic food, drink, and chewing. If it is considered to buy clothes, make furniture, send children to private schools, or even rouge, gouache, gold and silver jewelry for female relatives, then the money cannot be estimated.

If it is not done well, it is normal to spend thousands of taels a year.

"How much does father plan to give me to settle down?" Brother Xiang really doesn't have any city mansions, and even though he is a concubine, he is different from his wife. Not as good as a prostitute, but only slightly less than a prostitute.The latter, however, was brought up by his aunt's side since he was a child, and his status is high, but I'm afraid life will not be as carefree as being by his biological mother's side.

The second master of the Luo family didn't expect Brother Xiang to ask such a straightforward question, and he choked immediately.

Endured and endured, thinking that it was the Chinese New Year, and there were two uncles, the second master of the Luo family managed to suppress his temper, and did not explode: "Normally in the capital, people don't pay for settlement, they just let The concubine will take away the records that he has saved since he was a child. I can’t treat you either, I can take away everything in your house, including your records over the years, and I will give you... 100 taels of silver."

Hearing what the second master of the Luo family said, Mrs. Luo Zhang raised her head slightly in surprise, but she didn't speak.

As soon as Luo Yunrui saw Luo Zhang's expression, she knew that the second master of the Luo family had changed the previously negotiated amount.Come to think of it, a person as good-faced as the second master of the Luo family would not want to fail in front of the two sons-in-law.Besides, 100 taels of silver is not a lot, and the Luo family can fully afford it.

No, other people think this amount is too much, but Brother Xiang doesn't think so.

"100 taels of silver? This... How is this enough? I went to inquire about the nearby houses before, which ones don't cost a few hundred taels?"

Hearing this, the second master of the Luo family was almost overjoyed.

Inquire about a house nearby?Even though the Luo family didn't move to the area where officials gathered because no one in the family was an official, the Luo family's financial resources are not weak, so they moved to the area where rich merchants live nearby.

Naturally, the house here cannot be a set of houses like a big family, nor can it compare to the ancestral house of the Luo family in Luzhou City.But at any rate, this house is a big house with five entrants, and the population of the Luo family is not large. Although Lei'er was not engaged at the time, but her age was there, Brother Rui had to consider it, but the Luo family said it was just such a brother Son.In addition, when the second master of the Luo family moved to the capital, he dismissed the concubine Tongfang, leaving only Bi'er to take care of Brother Xiang.

Therefore, this house is still sufficient.

As for the vicinity of the Luo family?

Don't make trouble, the smallest one is Sanjin's house.The Luo family now spent 3000 taels for this house. The house with three entrances is much smaller than the house with five entrances, but it still costs 900 taels.

Now it's not that the Luo family can't afford the money, but why should they pay so much for the concubine?

Thinking of this, the second master of the Luo family naturally looked unhappy: "Brother Xiang, you have two choices now. First, as I said just now, everything in your room belongs to you, and the 100 taels of silver for Anjia Fei. Second, you can leave now, take your wife and leave immediately, from now on, you Luo Xiang will have nothing to do with me."
