Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

Chapter 44 The 8th Grade Imperial Physician Cheng

In a blink of an eye, Luo Qin had been in Jiankang for quite some time and had gotten to know many of the girls in the Luo family.

Fortunately, the girls in Luo’s family are easy to get along with. Although some of them are a little bit cunning, they are not bad-tempered and it is easy to get along with them.

Soon the cold winter passed and early spring came, the ice and snow melted, and all things revived.

It was the twelfth lunar month when they arrived, and it was freezing and snowy. Luo Qin did not dare to go out and spent most of her time in her Youlan Garden. Luo Ci took the opportunity to send a nanny to teach her the etiquette of a lady, and Luo Qin's daily schedule was fully packed.

In the first month of the year, young grass sprouted out from the remaining snow, and the branches of peach and pear trees were filled with buds. At this time, a letter came from Nanyang saying that General Yu's hand had fully recovered, Luo Qi had followed him into the military camp, and that the down jackets were very useful, so General Yu decided to order tens of thousands of them next year!

When Luo Qin saw this, his eyes lit up instantly!

Make big money!

Her future was uncertain, but she had enough money to support herself so that she would not be alone and helpless.

Yu Bai also sent a letter of recommendation. With Yu Bai's guarantee, Luo Ji's medical treatment was successful. The emperor sent people to Jingzhou to inquire about Luo Ji's reputation among the people for his medical skills. He learned that some people in the folk spontaneously called him "better than Hua Tuo". The emperor was very pleased and arranged for Luo Ji to be an eighth-rank imperial physician in the Menxia Province.

Although it was only a small eighth-rank official position, a small official that was looked down upon by the noble families, Luo Qin was very happy that her father had finally entered the government and had a regular position, and was no longer an ordinary person without an official position!

After Luo Ji joined the company, a smile appeared on his face.

In the Youlan Garden, an old man in a black robe was kneeling on a couch, and a stunning woman in front of him was pouring tea for him.

"Aye, please."

Luo Qin placed the tea in front of Luo Ji.

The old man with gray hair on his temples took the celadon teacup with a smile, but did not drink it immediately. Instead, he looked at his daughter in front of him and said, "Ping'er, your father has entered the government now, and you have finally become a real woman from an aristocratic family. You must be more careful and cautious in the future."

"Aye, my daughter understands everything."

"It's a pity that my father's ability is limited, and there are not many people who can protect you. I hope your brother can do more than your father."

The noble families looked down upon small officials like the eighth and ninth ranks and would rather remain common than fight for such a small position. Therefore, most of the small officials like the eighth and ninth ranks were elected by the children of poor families.

Luo Ji looked around and saw only Rufang standing far outside the door. He leaned forward and lowered his voice, saying, "If Ping'er doesn't want to meet those men, you can find someone who is similar to ours and you are satisfied with and marry him."

He knew very well that his daughter did not want to be a concubine, but a young man from a wealthy family would not marry a girl of such a lowly status. His daughter was in an awkward situation now. On the one hand, the eldest son wanted her to meet those noble men, but on the other hand, she herself was unwilling to do so.

It's easy for Aye to say. Luo Ci has been in officialdom for many years. He is as cunning as a fox, domineering in nature and has limited patience. In his eyes, Luo Qin is a piece of beautiful jade and he is always ready to give her to him. If he knew that Luo Qin was pretending to obey him but actually disobeying him, he might just give her to someone as a concubine.

From the moment Luo Qin entered Jiankang, she had no choice but to do what she wanted. Unless she and the man from a noble family were really attracted to each other, she would have a chance to have a happy marriage.

Luo Qin was feeling depressed, but she still comforted her father, "Don't worry, Father. I know what's going on. I won't let myself down."

Luo Qin touched her delicate cheek and sighed in her heart. She never thought that one day she would use her beauty to please men and rely on her good looks to find a marriage partner.

Luo Qin hated the world where women had no sovereignty. She was just pretty, but people would do everything they could to give her away as a gift. If something bad happened, at the end, people would say it was all because of this woman, her beauty that brought disaster!

How hateful! She has done nothing wrong!

"It's good that you can think it through. Aye knows that Ping'er has always had her own opinions. Aye and your brother will try their best not to protect you. The rest depends on your own luck."

"My daughter understands."

Luo Ji also had many private conversations with Luo Qin. Perhaps it was because he had finally gotten his wish and became an official in the court. He was happy but also nervous, and he talked a lot with his daughter.

After Luo Ji got his official position, the government arranged a place for him to live. However, the residence of a small eighth-rank official was actually to share a house with other small eighth-rank officials. It would be better for him to continue living in Luo's family so that he could take care of his daughter more conveniently.
