Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 512
What Leier said was not complicated.

However, in the first few years, there was a family of merchants in the capital. The eldest son and his wife passed away due to illness in the early years, leaving only a young daughter.Fortunately, this family has another son, so they handed over the family business to the second son. Of course, in addition to the family business, the responsibility of the entire family is also handed over to the second son, including supporting parents and elders and raising children. That young orphan girl.

In the beginning, such an arrangement was quite reasonable.For the sake of the little orphan girl's future marriage, although she was not adopted, in fact she was raised under her second aunt's knee.It is estimated that the family is also a face-saving person, and they are usually very concerned about the little orphan girl's basic necessities.To put it bluntly, it is arrogance and indulgence, even the son and daughter of the family have to give way to the eldest sister.

"...It's okay if this goes on like this, maybe it will become a good story."

Luo Yunrui smiled wryly, she didn't need Lei'er to go on to know what happened afterwards.It's just that when she grows up, she has conflicts over marriage or dowry. After all, even though the little orphan girl is the eldest daughter of the eldest son, it is a fact that her parents are dead and she has no siblings to take care of her.How can ordinary people marry such a hard-working daughter-in-law?Besides, Lei'er also said just now that it was a merchant's family, if it was the eldest daughter of an official family, there might be merchants asking to marry her, and it would be even more difficult for the daughter of a merchant's family to get married.

The facts are similar to Luo Yunrui's guess, when the little orphan girl grows up, her marriage will be high or low.Firstly, it is because of the theory of fate, and secondly, it is also a real issue of dowry.

"That person didn't marry well. It's totally unworkable for a high-married girl to beg for a daughter-in-law on her. Even if she wants to find a well-matched family, it's extremely difficult. In the end, it was pointed out that choosing a family is not as good as her natal family. And it's the marriage of the third son."

"After all, it's a legitimate son. It's not bad for an orphan girl whose parents both died to marry into such a family." Luo Yunrui said lightly, and continued to do her work with her head bowed.

"Isn't it because of the dowry?"

Ordinary families have old regulations on the share of the legitimate children or concubine children, which of course includes the resettlement fees for the legitimate sons and concubines other than the eldest son, as well as the dowry for the legitimate daughters and concubine daughters.

Under normal circumstances, the daughter's dowry is paid by the family, and then each house will make up for it according to the situation.If the mother clan is stronger, that is, if the mother's dowry is extremely rich, then the dowry of the married daughter will be considerable.But without the help of parents, it may not be possible to get it just by relying on the dowry from the father-in-law.

Seeing that Luo Yunrui just bowed her head and said nothing, Lei'er became a little anxious: "Sister, I know what you are worried about. Aren't you just afraid that you will raise a white-eyed wolf? However, I don't think your niece seems to be that greedy." As a person who doesn't know what is good or bad, she should also understand that relying on her background, she can't find a good marriage. As for the dowry issue, it shouldn't be difficult, right? It's common for relatives to add dowry, but there is no reason to prepare dowry for others."

"Lei'er, you don't understand. What I told you is completely different from what you said."

Dazed, Lei'er didn't understand for a while: "What's the difference? Of course, your family is an official family, and I'm talking about a merchant. However, even though the official family has a high status, your niece's background is really not high. , I guess even the merchants may not be willing to accept such a marriage."

This is true. Although the merchants are at the bottom among scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants, in fact it is the merchants who are the richest.

If the etiquette is extremely strict like the previous dynasty, then the status of the merchant may be even more embarrassing.But although this dynasty does not respect businessmen, at least it no longer despises them.Even in this dynasty, imperial merchants and official merchants were established. The former is dedicated to serving the royal family, while the latter is to trade with dignitaries.In addition, the son of a merchant can also become an official, and there are no restrictions on what to wear.

It can be said that although the rules of scholars, farmers, commerce and industry still exist, in fact the status of merchants is second only to officials and eunuchs.Otherwise, why did the old man of the Luo family choose the only daughter of a wealthy merchant's family in Luzhou City when he wanted to marry his step-wife?And there is Lei'er, her status as the second-in-law daughter and the fact that the second master of the Luo family has already resigned. Knowing that there is no hope of marrying an official family, she chose the only son of the merchant family.If the boundaries between scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are as strict as in the previous dynasty, why don't officials and eunuchs marry farmers?

"Sister, talk to me! I think your niece is still a responsible person. Even if she is raised under your name, she will not bite back in the future. Moreover, she should be self-aware and won't argue. Rob, as long as the future marriage is not too much, she will marry honestly. Sister, don't you think I'm wrong? "

Luo Yunrui was so quarreled by Lei'er, she didn't understand why Lei'er was in such good spirits every day.Generally speaking, pregnant women are more lethargic and feel weak all over the body, but after Lei'er became pregnant, she was more noisy than before before she was not pregnant.If it wasn't for Lei'er who was more or less taboo, maybe she would be turned upside down.

Sighing deeply, Luo Yunrui put down the work in her hands, and looked up at Lei'er helplessly: "Lei'er, didn't I tell you? I just told you about the things I put up." is completely different.”

"Why is it different? What's the difference? Isn't it just to help other people raise their daughters? Isn't it about the future marriage and dowry?"

Luo Yunrui's headache was even worse, and the only thing she was lucky about now was that it was Lei'er and not her who was pregnant.At the same time, he also secretly made up his mind that if she was still pregnant in the future, she must list Lei'er as a person who refused to associate with her!
"She is an orphan whose parents have both died. The uncle who inherited the family business is naturally obliged to raise her and arrange everything for her future. Tell me, can this be the same as mine?"

In fact, if Qin Huashang was really helpless now, it would be impossible for Luo Yunrui to drive him out.Although she only cares about her relatives and is a little selfish at the same time, she is not a ruthless person after all.The main reason why she was unwilling to bear Qin Huashang's future upbringing, marriage, and so-called dowry issues was not that she couldn't afford it, but that she felt guilty.

Although Qin Huashang lost her mother, her biological father lived well.Even if her father doesn't care, don't they still have grandparents?If it doesn't work, there are also uncles and aunts.Taking a ten thousand step back, even if the second branch of the Qin family is completely deserted, then Qin Huashang also has grandparents!Although her mother's family background is not high, it can be considered that the family has a small amount of money. Isn't it easy to support a girl's family?
Luo Yunrui couldn't figure out why Qin Huashang was stuffed into her hands.To put it bluntly, since the family has been separated, it doesn't matter, at most they are members of the clan.Have you ever heard of this, which family in the clan can't live on, and why don't they give their children to the clan to raise?Where is the Ci'an Hall opened by the imperial court?

Well, even if some people value face and cannot watch their clansmen helpless, it is usually received by the current members of the family.At most, it's just to cultivate it carefully, so that I can be a big maid or steward in the future.How can there be a general upbringing that takes all the children of poor relatives at home and treats them as their own?
This is no longer a saint, it is simply a fool!
After hearing Luo Yunrui's explanation, Lei'er finally understood, and she immediately had a bright face.Luo Yunrui looked at the strangeness, and couldn't help but tease: "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Lei'er to feel embarrassed?"

"elder sister!"

Luo Yunrui is not a person who can't be unreasonable, so she shook her head amusedly at the moment, and stopped worrying about this matter.On the contrary, after thinking for a long time, Lei'er asked again: "Then if your niece stays here like this, what are you going to do, sister?"

"Lei'er, people have names, even if you're not as smart as my sister and I, you won't be unable to remember a person's name, right?"

In fact, Luo Yunrui wanted to say this sentence a long time ago. Although she also knew that Lei'er had no other meaning, what's the point of reminding herself every day that Qin Huashang is her niece?If Qin Huashang is really her niece, that's fine, it's all separated by two floors, and sometimes Qin Huashang calls her eldest aunt and she is a little reluctant to agree.

"Yes, I know I was wrong. If that sister Hua doesn't leave, what's your plan?"

What can you plan?
Whether it's Luo Yunrui or the Qin family, this face is always needed.If no one was sent to pick him up from Luzhou City, she would have no choice but to support Qin Huashang like this.You can't drive out a lonely little girl, can you?Even sending it to Luzhou City in person is inappropriate, after all, it is impossible for her to pretend not to know Qin Huashang's situation.

"Keeping it up."

This answer definitely didn't satisfy Lei'er. If Lei'er's impression of Qin Huashang was okay, after listening to Luo Yunrui's words just now, she was completely on Luo Yunrui's side.Originally, she didn't know Qin Huashang well, so at most she felt that the little girl was pitiful.This Luo Yunrui is her direct sister, but this sisterhood cannot be ignored.

"Just keep it like this? What about the future? What kind of marriage do you plan to choose for her? What about the dowry? Sister, you don't care about these?"

Luo Yunrui was really helpless. When Lei'er was still young, whenever she put on a fierce look, Lei'er would immediately be afraid.But as she got older, Lei'er became more courageous.Now, no matter how fierce Luo Yunrui was, it still had no effect.

"Lei'er, are you really so idle?" After glancing at Lei'er, Luo Yunrui said angrily, "I care! Why should I care about others? What is her relationship with me? Her future, her Her marriage, or her dowry, do these... have anything to do with me?"
