Qing Dynasty Crossover

Chapter 2 Understanding the situation
Looking at her husband and daughter, Dong really didn't know what to do.In modern times, I am just an accountant in a textile factory, and my professional knowledge is not used here at all.Dong felt very sad because he was completely unable to help.Although she knew that her husband was a man of his word, she also knew that this was in ancient times, where it was normal to have three wives and four concubines. When watching TV, she used to watch women fighting in the inner house, but she still acted as a concubine. It's a joke, now I have to face this situation, even if Ling Zhu treats those remaining women as decorations, I may not feel comfortable seeing them.Ling Zhu is only 32 years old this year, still very young, no one knows what will happen in the future.

Knowing her mother's worry, Qi Luo stepped forward and hugged Dong's arm and said coquettishly, "Don't worry, Er Niang, Ama is young, so aren't you also young? You should just start over. Let the previous work If you are busy and have no time to talk about love, you can make up for it, and you can deepen your relationship. Isn’t this a good thing? Besides, as a modern woman, she has charms that women of this era don’t have. I don’t believe that Ama will lose the watermelon. Sesame. Er Niang, you must believe in your own charm, only those who are confident are the most beautiful."

Dong said gratifiedly, "Fortunately, I have a smart and considerate daughter. Anyway, your father is a family-oriented person, and I still have a lot of status in his heart. It's just that I am more worried about you. I don't think anyone will Have you crossed time? How can you bear to let you marry an old-fashioned old man? Luo Luo, you have always been the pride of our family, and a treasure that Ling Zhu and I hold in our hands. How can I let you be wronged? Even if you don't marry Yongzheng like in history, how can I help you find a suitable one according to the ancient requirements for women's three obediences and four virtues?"

"Emiang, this body is only eight years old now. It's too early for you to worry about it. Although people in ancient times married early, wouldn't it take a long time for me to get married? Maybe I will meet a suitable one. .”

Ling Zhu agreed, "My daughter is the best. If it doesn't work, let's recruit a son-in-law. Who would dare to bully Qi Luo when we see it!"

Qi Luo didn't want to tell his parents that in ancient times, a son-in-law would be looked down upon by others. Generally, capable people would not do this. I am glad that my parents don't understand history. Otherwise, with their love for me, I would have died of sorrow. .Qi Luo knows that he is a deserted person, and nothing is more important than his parents in his heart. Coupled with the injuries he has suffered in modern times, Qi Luo knows that he will no longer believe in love, especially in this modern situation.According to experience and lessons, as long as you don't get emotionally involved, even if you really marry an ancient person, you will live a good life.The most important thing now is to help my parents adapt to life in ancient times, so that my family can integrate into ancient society more quickly.

Qi Luo looked at the furnishings in Dong's room, and based on his own experience in reading novels, the family conditions in this family are not very good.It's better to understand clearly, "Emiang, what is the situation in this Ling Zhu's family?"

Dong's face was distressed, and he tried hard to recall, "The three-entry house that the family lives in now was acquired when the family was separated, and there is also a Zhuangzi with a lot of land, an annual income of 1000 taels, and two facades, but the geography The location is not good, so the rent is not high. Ling Zhu's salary is not much, the official position is not big, and there are not many contacts. However, Ling Zhu is an official in the capital after all, and the expenses are still very high. Zhu’s family has too many servants, so they didn’t save any money at all. I will discuss with Luo Luo tomorrow to lay off some people. I just have the memory of this body before. He is studying administration and should know more than me."

"Luoluo, you like history, and you also like reading books. Help your mother more, take care of the house first, and think about other things. As for the outside things, leave it to me. Don't worry, I will let you live a good life of"

Qi Luo smiled and said, "Okay, Ama, leave Erniang and the family to me, and I will definitely take good care of Erniang. You are not old yet, try to give me another brother!"

The mother nodded Qi Luo's head and scolded with a smile, "This child is talking nonsense, but the word Er Niang doesn't sound very comfortable."

"You have to call it that if you are uncomfortable. From now on, Luo Luo will just call it a habit. We have to keep a low profile as Luo Luo said, and we have to integrate ourselves into this place. As long as our family is together forever, no matter what the name is." What! But Luo Luo said that it is a good idea to have another child. Is there any family planning now? It’s not like we can’t afford it. Only Qi Luo is too lonely.”

"I'm not serious, can I say this in front of the child? Besides, the body is not my own now, I feel very awkward, who will give birth to the child?"

Ling Zhu patted his head and said, "I even forgot that Qi Luo is not 25 but eight years old. My wife, you think too much. I think this Dong's dress is [-]% like yours. You and I are born with us. We want to adapt to our current body and don’t think too much about it. You can just treat us as if we have taken the Rejuvenation Pill.”

Qi Luo said, "Emma, ​​you have to learn from Ama. It seems that men are more open-minded. You are not bad. I am obviously an adult, and now I look like a child. It feels like a huge body in a box. It's the same in a small bottle. But Er Niang's soul and memory are the most important, no matter what our appearance becomes, as long as our soul is still there, then we will always be a family."

Ling Zhu hugged his wife and daughter tightly again. Although no one spoke, they felt that their hearts were closest at this moment, and there was no distance between them.Qi Luo and the others knew that no matter how difficult it was in ancient times, they would support each other and go on firmly.

I heard a loud voice from outside, "Master, the concubine brought the young master to greet the wife, and the old lady sent people to say that the master is going to go!"

Seeing the panicked expression on his mother's face, Qi Luo held her hand and said, "Living here is not easy, but we will always be together."

Ling Zhu looked at his wife and daughter, feeling very helpless, his ex had left him such a mess.It is impossible for a man not to fantasize about the feeling of hugging left and right, but when he thinks of his wife who has been with him for so long and his daughter whom he loves like a treasure, he knows what he should do is the best.

Thinking of this, Ling Zhu raised his voice, "Let them in." The door opened, and a well-dressed woman of about 30 years old walked in. boy. "Master, Mrs. Ann" "Ama Ann, Mrs. Ann" Looking at the mother in a daze, Qi Luo pulled her, "Mother, Auntie is greeting you!" Dong Shi reacted and glared at her husband, "Get up quickly!" , I'm not in good health, and my mind is a little messed up, don't take it for granted."

"What did the lady say? The lady just woke up, so she needs to take good care of her body." Then she looked at Ling Zhu with a little bit of embarrassment, with prayers in her eyes.Ling Zhu was stunned for a moment, and stroked his head with his hands. In his original memory, this concubine was his original personal servant girl, who was one year younger than him, took care of him since he was a child, and was quite loved by him.Later, he gave birth to Ling Zhu's only son, and his wife's health was not good, so the son was kept by the concubine's side all the time.But before he possessed himself, according to his wife's request, Ling Zhu agreed to hand over his son to his regular wife to raise him. She definitely didn't want to be separated from her child.Let my wife raise someone else's child, even though it is a child left by the previous body, but I am still unhappy. "You don't have to worry, Ma'am is not in good health. Qi Luo's body has just recovered and is still very weak. She still needs to be taken care of by her mother. Qi Huan has been by your side. You have taken good care of her, so I will put her by your side. If there is anything missing, just tell the wife, don’t let the child suffer.”

Aunt Liu looked at Ling Zhu happily, and held her son's hand even tighter. She looked at Dong and said in a low voice, "Qi Huan, I have been taken care of by my concubine all the time. This child is very silent and doesn't like to talk. The concubine is afraid of angering his wife. Besides, it's fine." By my concubine's side, Qi Huan is also his wife's son. Qi Huan will definitely honor his wife well, Qi Huan, don't you think so?" Qi Huan looked at his mother, then at Ling Zhu and the half lying on the bed. Auntie hummed lightly.

Holding her daughter's hand, Mrs. Dong sat up, looking at the mother and son who obviously didn't want to separate, she was amused, the person who wanted to separate them is no longer there, and she has her daughter by her side, so what do you want other people's children to do? Take care of Qi Huan, just like your husband, no, it’s what the master said, just tell me what’s missing, Luo Luo’s health is not good, and I need to worry about it, Qi Huan will stay with you.”

"Thank you so much, madam. I will take good care of Qi Huan. Please rest assured, master and wife. I won't delay my wife talking to master. I will greet my wife tomorrow." Ling Zhu waved his hand to them, "Go back first." Right?" Qi Huan looked at Ling Zhu and Dong Shi differently, and wanted to speak, but was quickly pulled away by his mother.

"It's all you, let me face this situation, as if I was a bad person who took away someone's child." "Okay, can't I be wrong, don't worry, this is definitely the last time." Zhao Nanny who came in to serve She seemed to be taken aback for a moment, but quickly said, "Ma'am, it's getting late, I've asked you to set the meal, master can also use it here." "Okay, I'll eat with my wife and Luo Luo." This is Qi Luo The first meal a family of three ate in ancient times, Qi Luo's family felt very awkward seeing the exquisite meals and busy maids on the table, but there was no other way, and now they could only bite the bullet and endure it.Dong thought to herself, it seems that the number of servants should be reduced by her side. With so many people around, it is hard to even talk.I can't even get food for my husband and daughter, it's hard.

After the meal, Ling Zhu called the butler over. "How about that emerald?"

The housekeeper looked at Mrs. Dong and said, "The old lady came to the mansion when the master and wife fainted, and she made the decision to lock Pei Cui up. Now she is still in the woodshed?"

Ling Zhu remembered that Fei Cui was not born in the family, her parents were honest people who sold their daughter because of the famine, and later tried to redeem Fei Cui many times, but Fei Cui refused.Looking at his wife and daughter Ling Zhu, he knew that this was just his first test. In ancient times, my wife did not have modern freedom. If I didn’t give her a clear answer, then she would be very sad, and so would my daughter. Very disappointed in myself.For the sake of his wife and daughter, he should be a good man in the Qing Dynasty.

"You go and ask Fei Cui's parents to take her away. The disturbance in this mansion is too disgraceful. Madam, when you recover from illness, clean it up properly. Outside the man, the mansion is up to you."

Mrs. Dong nodded in satisfaction, "It's time to clean it up, Madam Zhao, you take 20 taels and send it to Fei Cui, at least it's a master-servant."

"My wife is kind, if I put it in someone else's house, how can there be such a good thing?" Zhao Momo took the money and went out with the housekeeper.Telling the girls to retreat, Mrs. Dong took out a package from the bedside table.

"Luo Luo, this is the account book of the housekeeper. It's all in traditional characters. I feel a headache looking at it. You can take a look at it, and then make a simple list for me. I want to see the income and expenditure of this family?" Mrs. Dong handed a thick notebook to Qi Luo
"Fortunately, I joined the literature club in college and I can recognize traditional Chinese characters. Otherwise, it would be troublesome. It's getting late. You and Ama should have a good rest. Tomorrow, do you have to go to the old lady's place to say hello?"

Mrs. Dong nodded and said, "I really don't know what's so good about it. With so many rules, I don't know when such a day will end?" Ling Zhu stepped forward and held his wife and daughter's hand and said, "Persevere, in this If it’s not an official, life will be more difficult, no matter what, we will definitely be able to live a better life.”
