Heir and wife

Chapter 5

Luo Weitong's already big eyes stared into copper bells. After hearing what her mother said early in the morning, she grew up in Luofu, Huizhou for more than ten years. After seeing and hearing, she concluded that her cognition of family and close relatives quickly collapsed.

It turns out that close relatives not only love each other, support each other, and share weal and woe, but also intrigue, estrangement and calculation, and bullying and bullying.

Her father was born in Wenxiang Bo's Mansion in Jinling, and there were many concubines and concubines in the Bo's Mansion. The staff was complicated, and she was dizzy just remembering the names of the characters.The father's place belonged to the eldest son's family, and Da Zhou attached great importance to the eldest son, so the existence of the eldest son's family was another source of origin.

Wen Xiangbo Luo Jin was born in a scholarly family. Although his ancestors had a successor, his family has been in decline for several generations.In his generation, the last emperor of the previous dynasty was fatuous, and the people of the world were in dire straits. After he was a poor scholar, not to mention being a rich and well-clothed young master, even food and clothing became a problem.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy in the city loves talents, provides him with food, clothing and reading, and promises to take his beloved daughter as his wife.After the two got married, within a few years Taizu rebelled against him, and his grandfather joined him and presented an essay, at the end of which he wrote a poem, "The spirit is not afraid of being crushed, I only hope that all people are safe and peaceful."Literary talent is not very good, but it happened that Taizu's single name was "Spirit". By coincidence, Luo Jin was promoted to Huang Tengda, and then embarked on the road of Chen Shimei.Ten years later, the world will be peaceful, and the wife and son will travel thousands of miles to Beijing to find a husband. In a daze, they will become concubines, and the sons born by him will also become the eldest sons of Wen Xiangbo's mansion who are closely guarded.

"Has no one ever upheld justice for great-grandmother?"

Luo Shi looked helplessly at the innocent daughter: "Things in the world are always easy to add flowers, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Besides, in the compound of the deep house, even a fly can't fly out once the gate is closed. Don't talk about such secrets. Now go to the uncle's mansion, Jiaojiao should be cautious in her words and deeds. Especially about the Kirin Jade, don't leak any information."

"My daughter knows."

Seeing her daughter who usually had a bright smile, now her little face was full of panic, Luo Sihai was the first to be awkward: "Don't be afraid of them, Jiaojiao, they're just a bunch of wine pockets and food pockets. Now Daddy's official position is higher than your uncle's, so we're not afraid of him. "

Luo Weitong was puzzled: "Eldest uncle is the head of the direct line. How can he not be as good as daddy with the help of the uncle's family when he enters the court as an official?"

Luo Sihai's face was full of disdain: "The uncle's house is just a good name, the Taizu only uses it, and the wine bags and rice bags are not eye-catching. The late emperor intended to promote the elders, but he... well, it doesn't matter if he is a coward. Today, he is worthy of being the grandson. Grandparents and sons, the political methods are in the same line as the Taizu. Your uncle was entrusted to the court by virtue of his shadow, and now in the past 20 years, he has only been a member of the Ministry of Rites and Regulations."

"Yuan Wai Lang, that is also a senior official from the fifth rank..."

Before finishing speaking, Luo Weitong realized that his father was in charge of all four ranks.There seems to be little difference between the fifth rank and the fourth rank, but it is a watershed in Daqi's officialdom, and many officials can't cross this hurdle in their entire lives.

Mrs. Xu said patiently: "Jiaojiao, don't think that the father of the Chen sisters' family is very powerful in Huizhou City. Jinling is the place where the emperor lives. Let alone the fifth rank, your father's fourth rank is not considered a high-ranking official."

Luo Weitong nodded, the Chen sisters, one concubine and one concubine, are close friends in her boudoir.Chen Bobo lives in Huizhou and is the magistrate of Huizhou. He is a veritable parent official of a state.When my mother mentioned it, she remembered many details that she had neglected in her daily relationship.The two sisters of the Chen family went out with their aunt to socialize, the aunt behaved gracefully, but the younger sister often made some small mistakes, and then it was the aunt who helped her cover it up with a few words.After a few times, everyone felt that the sister-in-law was generous and sensible, and the sister-in-law was not as good as the sister-in-law.

She is familiar with the two sisters, and occasionally get together to recite poems and compose Fu.Compared with the sister-in-law, the sister-in-law is more talented and quick-witted.She hadn't noticed it before, but now that she heard about the many incidents in Wen Xiangbo's mansion, she just realized the many mysteries involved.The concubine of the Chen family is probably the real smart person.Under the same circumstances, can I achieve her level?
She didn't hide it at the moment, and told her parents one by one what was on her mind.Luo Sihai and Xu Shi heard about it, looked at each other, and found that each other's eyes were full of surprise: I knew that my daughter was transparent, but I never thought that she could see subtlety.

After being shocked, Mrs. Xu spoke first: "Since Jiaojiao can think so much, there is no need for parents to give more instructions. Let's remember one thing today, Jiaojiao is not a concubine who has no reliance. Your parents and brothers are all there. Saying that there is no mistake, even if there is a slight mistake in the occasional act, it is not something ordinary people can bully at will."

After hearing his mother's words, Luo Weitong felt the cloud over his head suddenly dissipate.Wen Xiangbo's mansion is troublesome, but she has the support of her parents and elder brothers, so she is afraid of being eaten by others.

But if this matter is as simple as what the real mother said, then why are her and father's faces clouded when they mention the uncle's mansion.
