Chapter 4 Still Time Traveling?

The next morning, Qi Luo dressed neatly under Hongying's service, and went to the main room to greet Er Niang and Ama according to the rules.Qi Luo looked at his parents' faces, obviously they didn't sleep well, it seems that they chatted very late yesterday.Aunt Liu and Qi Huan had already greeted Ling Zhu, and she was standing upright.Ling Zhu looked at Qi Huan with complicated feelings, the only son in his own body, but he was not the real Ling Zhu after all, so he couldn't love him without scruples.It seems that he can only compensate him by giving him the best living conditions.

Dong knows that Qi Luo has something to say, and she doesn't like to face her husband's concubine every day. She doesn't understand why those ancient wives must have their concubines to wait on them, but she feels that seeing a concubine will remind her husband Although he knew that his husband was not interested in his concubine, he still couldn't bear it.So Dong made up her mind and said, "This time I was seriously ill, which made me understand a lot. I don't have to follow the previous rules. Aunt Liu, it's not easy for you to take care of Qihuan, and you have to take care of his life every day. Don't use me to make rules, just ask for peace once in half a month, we are all women, why bother to make things difficult for each other."

"Madam, how can this be done? You have to abide by the rules. If you want people outside to know, that would be a big deal." Aunt Liu said with trepidation.

Qi Luo understands what her mother thinks, "Auntie's words are muddled. It's impossible for me to spread the trivial matters in my house to the outside. If the servants in the family talk nonsense, I will punish them. My mother's illness just happens to be impatient. Besides, it's important to take care of Qi Huan's elder brother, so my aunt should listen to Er Niang." Qi Huan looked at Qi Luo carefully as if he didn't know him, it seems that Qi Luo had made things difficult for their mother and son before.Aunt Liu wanted to say something, but Ling Zhu interrupted her.

"Let's do it this way, Mrs. Liu, you are not in good health, since your wife is considerate of you, you should listen to your wife and take good care of Qi Huan."

Since Ling Zhu opened his mouth, there was no room for further discussion. Besides, he should think about why the Dong family has become so fast, and whether there is a way? "Since my wife loves my concubine, I will do as my wife tells me. I hope my wife can take good care of me. Where I need a concubine, I just ask my wife." After finishing speaking, she looked at Ling Zhu affectionately.

Ling Zhu's heart skipped a beat when she saw her eyes, "Yeah..." Qi Luo suddenly interrupted Ling Zhu's meditation.Ling Zhu immediately realized that he seemed to be an ordinary person, so he should see Liu Shi less often in the future, so as not to be tempted at some point and make his wife and daughter sad. "You take Qi Huan back first, I have something to discuss with my wife"

"Since the master has something to say, you all go down first." "Yes, the servants obey."

Qi Luo looked at the unhappy mother and the embarrassed father, "This Aunt Liu is not a simple character, look at the way he looks at Ama, Ama, be careful to be seduced by her."

"No, I was just stunned for a while. I know what is most important to me. I won't make your mother sad."

Looking at the serious parents, Qi Luo still believed in his father. At the same time, he also understood that it was easy for a man to be distracted, especially in ancient times. What he had to do was to help his mother retain her charm and eliminate the temptation to seduce his father. Factors, relying on the decades of ups and downs of his parents, Dad will not make mistakes easily.Qi Luo attaches great importance to her family. She hopes that the family can live together in harmony. If anyone wants to destroy their family, then don't blame yourself for being ruthless.

"Okay, Er Niang, let's talk about our current income and expenditure situation first. I did a rough calculation yesterday, and it was really a jump. The family's income and expenditure are already on the verge of collapse. If we can apply for bankrupted."

"Is it so serious? In Ling Zhu's memory, although the family is not rich, it is not very short of money."

"That's because Mrs. Dong knows that Ling Zhu cares about face, and often secretly sells some of her own dowry. Now that there is not much dowry left, as far as I remember, it seems that the family's monthly money can't be paid. Luo Luo, what should we do now?" what to do?"

Qi Luo thought for a while, "If it makes me want to make money now, it's not that there is no way, but we can't be too ostentatious now, it is really difficult to keep a low profile and make money."

"This should be something that my father should think about, but I can't do anything now. Although Ling Zhu's original memory is preserved, he is not very good at making money. I really want to travel back. Life in ancient times is really impossible. Going on, asking for money without living facilities is not good, and I am not used to ordering servants. In ancient times, offending people was punishable by death. I have never been an official, but now Ling Zhu is a fifth-rank official, but he is after all As an official, I have no human rights here, the emperor Jinkou said, I am really afraid that something will go wrong, I will offend someone, I have nothing to do with myself, what will happen if I implicate you!"

"Husband, don't talk about whether you are involved or not. We are a husband and wife and we are one. Since time travel has not separated our family, what is there to make it difficult? If you feel that the pressure is too great, you can quit. Officer, we dismiss the servants, I don't believe the three of us can still starve to death?"

"Although I don't want to be an official. Being an official is very dangerous, but not being an official is even more dangerous in ancient times. We are not afraid of suffering, but we can't let Luoluo suffer with us. I just said the worst case. I think as long as I If you are careful, you can live in peace, and you can't help but worry."

"Emma, ​​let's not worry about Ama. Dad used to be a well-known good man, and he handled things very smoothly. Although we are in ancient times, we don't want Ama to get promoted and get rich. In addition, Dad has Ling Zhu's memory. Besides, with us supporting him behind the scenes, and our knowledge of 300 years more than this era, I can still understand this period of history. I think it’s okay for Dad to be a mediocre official who follows the crowd. Yes. The most important thing now is the economic issue. Our current family has too many people. We should lay off some of them to reduce the pressure. Besides, I really don’t like it. A group of people follow us everywhere.”

Mrs. Dong nodded in agreement, "That's right, I'm not used to it either, Luo Luo, please understand the situation and cut off those lazy gossips."

"Well, I'll figure it out, Er Niang, you have original memories, think about it first, and make a list of the people you think need to be laid off. Our family now has 56 servants, including those outside our house. There are ten people in Zhuang, and now there are 46 people in the family, which is really too many. Our yard is not big, and we really don’t need so many people. I plan to reduce at least [-] people, so that we can save some expenses first, or we can Live more comfortably."

"You can take care of the family affairs according to your own needs, but just saving money is not enough. Let's find a way to make money." Ling Zhu couldn't help but change his face when he said this, and began to meditate while resting his forehead.

Qi Luo asked in surprise, "Ama, what's wrong with you?"

Ling Zhu said seriously, "I was just talking about earning money, and it suddenly occurred to me, Luo Luo, you said that we can travel through, so other people should also be able to travel through, right?"

"Are you wearing it in groups? It's very possible. Why, do you know that someone else is wearing it?"

"I don't know if she also traveled here, but there are some strange things in Ling Zhu's memory. Ling Zhu has an elder brother, and his elder brother has four children. Needless to say, the two sons are not very outstanding. Yes, it’s just that one of the daughters born by the first wife is very strange, her name is Qi Zhen, she is two years older than you, she made a lot of money advising his parents, so she is very favored by his parents.”

Qi Luo said in surprise, "Could it be the ordinary Qingchuan? Could it be the comparison and war between time-traveling women? It's incredible, Ama, what idea did she come up with?"

Ling Zhu looked at the surprised daughter and laughed, "Don't worry, if it's a war between time-traveling women, your mother and I will help you. It seems that we opened a dim sum shop and sold some Western-style biscuits. Cakes, and a restaurant. Ling Zhu has been there before. Judging from the decoration style, there are some modern elements. It’s just that there’s something weird about it. Let me ask you about the rest. I don’t know anything about the family. Not very clear."

Mrs. Dong went on to say, "Yes, I remembered it too. Although Qi Zhen is a daughter-in-law, she is not very intelligent, but she looks very scheming. She is only less than two years older than you, and she has always been compared together. Yes. When I was young, Qi Luo was smarter and cute. At that time, you were very popular with the old lady, and others praised Qi Luo. Therefore, your relationship was not good and you often had conflicts. About two years ago, Qi Zhen suddenly said, To help the family make money. Ling Cheng and the others didn't believe him, but Qi Zhen was crying and fussing, and Qi Zhen's mother-in-law also supported her. Ling Cheng was so entangled that he couldn't do anything, so he agreed. Dim sum shops and restaurants have made a lot of money, and Qi Zhen also invented several makeup techniques, and everyone praised Qi Zhen, Qi Luo was very sad because of this. His temper became very weird, and he didn't like to dress himself up anymore."

"Then is there anything special about Qi Zhen's usual words and deeds?"

Mrs. Dong tried hard to recall, "It seems that there is nothing special, but she is more cheerful than usual, and her words and deeds are very similar to ancient noble ladies. Thinking about it now, I also think there is something strange, but I don't know where it is. Wait until you see her." It’s time to observe for yourself.”

Seeing Qi Luo's bitter face, Ling Zhu said with a smile, "Even if she also crosses time, we are not afraid, my daughter is the best."

Qi Luo is not afraid of being robbed of the limelight, but just thinks that Qi Zhen is an uncertain factor, and she is also the daughter of Brother Ling Zhu. If Qi Zhen is really a restless and innocent woman, what kind of changes will it bring to the family No one can say for sure, but what is consoling is that Ling Zhu has already separated from Ling, so it will be much safer.

"I don't want to compete with her. I just want our family to be happy together. It's not the last year of Kangxi, the most intense period when Kowloon seizes the throne. If she is really a romantic time-traveling girl, then She will definitely not miss it. But the princes who fight for the throne don't have love, they only value benefits. So, Ama'er, you must behave as usual, I don't want us to be implicated by her. "

"Luo Luo, maybe she is as low-key as we are? Don't worry too much, your mother-in-law and I will behave the same in front of others, and we promise not to let others see it."

Qi Luo felt that what his father said was very reasonable, besides, it would be too early to worry about it now.Maybe Qi Zhen is a mature time-traveling girl.Let's see what's going on.Take care of yourself and think of other things.The big deal is to let my father resign in the last years of Kangxi. Anyway, as long as the family is safe.
