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

Luo Qin lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he said: "I dare not say that I will win the championship, but I will definitely shine on the day!"

Xia was a little disappointed when she heard that, and then she thought of the girl from the Cui family who won the championship every year. She grew up in the small town of Luoqin, so it would be difficult to beat her.

"Aqin just needs to do her best. Winning the championship would be the best. It would also be good if she can shine and leave a good impression on everyone."

If Luo Qin could leave an impression of being both talented and beautiful on that day, I think many people would come to propose to her...

"Yes."

Luo Qin responded softly.

"Do you know which famous scholars will be the judges of this year's Flower Festival?" Xia picked up the teacup and gently blew away the hot steam on the surface.

"This... I don't know." Luo Qin really didn't know. She had just asked Wang Xu today.

"Wang Wulang doesn't know either?" Xia gave her a meaningful look. "What about Xie Dalang?"

Luo Qin answered truthfully, "I also asked Wang Wulang today, and he said that the candidate would be finalized two days before the Flower Festival."

Seeing this, Xia nodded and said, "Is that so? That's all."

She thought that Wang Wulang, Xie Dalang and others would be there. Given Luo Qin's relationship with them, she would definitely give a good grade no matter what.

Xia chatted with Luo Qin about the program she had prepared, "What talent show did Aqin prepare?"

"Qinwu."

"Qinwu?"

"Correct."

"This..." Xia pondered, then smiled softly, "This is the same as Cui's daughter."

Cui Xianxian performs piano and dance every year, so it goes without saying that this year will be the same.

Xia gently took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and looked up again, "I heard from Shiqilang that you, Aqin, are excellent at playing the piano and chess, and even Wang Wulang and Xie Sanlang praised you highly?"

"It's just average. There's still room for improvement." Luo Qin smiled shyly.

Xia gave her a glare and said, "Oh, you are such a modest child."

But it just so happens that Luo Qin has an extraordinary appearance and a noble and gentle temperament. In addition, she is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is humble and not ostentatious, and she is not arrogant or impatient. Good, very good, this is exactly what the current celebrities admire. Except for her background, Luo Qin is completely the perfect girl that the celebrities idealize.

Cui Xianxian was beautiful, but her beauty was of a coquettish and seductive kind, which was despised by famous scholars.

Therefore, in Xia's mind, Luo Qin still has hope of winning the championship.

If Aqin can win a good reputation for the Luo family, the girls waiting to be married in the mansion will probably be betrothed soon.

Recalling something, Xia said, "By the way, in our mansion, besides you, there are also Arou and Ajin who are participating in the Flower God Selection. If you have time, go and talk to them."

"Yes."

Ah Rou? Ah Jin?

A'jin is Luo Jin, and A'rou is a beautiful girl brought back from another branch.

In other words, all the girls from the Luo family who participated in the Flower God Selection this year are from side branches, and there are more girls from the first branch of the Luo family. The other two branches have either married long ago or are less than ten years old, so only the first branch is of marriageable age.

She had met Luo Rou before. She was just as her name suggested, a gentle little girl who spoke softly. Luo Qin had a good impression of her.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Xia gently raised her hand and rubbed her temple. She was subtly reminding Luo Qin that she was tired. Luo Qin understood and said goodbye: "Thank you for your concern for Aqin, Aqin, I won't bother you anymore. You take a rest. I'm leaving now."

"Okay, Ah Qin, go back. You can find Ah Rou and Ah Jin when you have time."

"Yes."

Luo Qin agreed and stood up to leave.

After leaving Xia's yard, Luo Qin did not go to Luo Jin or Luo Rou's yard. She went to Aye's yard first.

Today is a day off, so Aye doesn't have to be on duty.

In a quiet courtyard, the afternoon sun shines through the gaps between the leaves, creating patches of light and shadow.

An old man in simple clothes sat quietly in the middle of the courtyard.

In front of him was a pile of various herbs, emitting a faint fragrance.

The old man's face was marked with traces of time, and his eyes revealed a calm and focused look.

He spread the herbs on a bamboo mat and let them enjoy the warmth of the sun. Under the sunlight, the colors of the herbs became brighter and the fragrance became stronger.

In this courtyard, time seems to have stopped. The figure of the old man blends into the beauty of the courtyard, forming a peaceful and beautiful picture.

Seeing her father in the courtyard, Luo Qin felt warm in her heart for some reason, and she called softly, "Aye."

The old man asked and looked back. His eyes lit up and he asked happily, "Ping'er?"

"Aye," Luo Qin lifted up her long skirt and walked towards Aye gracefully and quickly, calling out as she walked, "Aye!"

"How come Ping'er is here, father?" The old man put down the herbs in his hand and stood up to greet her.

"My daughter misses my father." Luo Qin naturally took her father's arm and said coquettishly.

After hearing what his youngest daughter said, Luo Ji felt happy. Without his eldest son around, he was very pleased that his daughter was well-behaved and sensible.

"Ping'er, you've come just in time. Aye has some good news to tell you."

"Good news?" Luo Qin blinked and asked curiously.

"About your brother."

"Brother's happy event? Is he going to get married?" Luo Qin guessed, tilting his head.

My brother Luoqi is almost thirty years old. He is busy studying medicine and running around to save people all day long. He has no intention of starting a family.

At his age, in this era, children should be talking about marriage, but Luo Qi has never even touched a girl's hand. No, he has touched it before, when he took her pulse...

Aye was a late married and late childbearing man, and now his brother is even later than him. Luo Qin is worried seeing this.

"Oh, Ping'er actually guessed it right!" Luo Ji laughed.

"What? Really? Brother is getting married? Which girl?" Luo Qin asked.

When he heard his daughter ask who the girl was from, Luo Ji fell silent. The wrinkles between his brows deepened. After a moment of silence, they relaxed again and he sighed, "It's a Xianbei Hu girl."

"Ah, this..."

It's over. The Han people of the Jin Dynasty at that time looked down upon the Xiongnu and Xianbei people in the north. In the eyes of the Han people who had moved south with their culture and wisdom, these nomadic people on horseback were barbarians who ate raw meat and drank blood, and were uncivilized savages!

Although the government was encouraging ethnic integration, it still could not change the deep-rooted ideas of some diehards, especially since the Xianbei and Huns often harassed the borders of the Jin Dynasty, which made the Han people hate the Hu people even more.

Most noble families look down on the Hu people. If they knew that my brother, a noble family member, married a Hu woman...

Oh, never mind. Aye and she are both open-minded people. As long as brother likes it, it’s no big deal.
