Chapter Forty-Nine: The So-Called Iraqi People

Thirteen years ago

Luo Yunsheng knelt straight on the ground, her legs were numb and she couldn't feel the pain, this time she knelt not in the small ancestral hall where Shen Wan punished her, but in the main hall of the Luo family. According to the rules handed down from generation to generation in the previous dynasty of the Luo family, whether or not the female dependents of the direct subordinate are not allowed to enter the main hall.

But now Luo Yunsheng, who is kneeling on the ground, not only entered the main hall, but also knelt in, and there was a timid Shen Huai'an standing beside her. She took out her hand and grabbed his palm, pursed her lips and smiled, as if telling him not to worry about himself, he would be fine.

As a result, her expression was captured by Shen Guan, and she raised a whip on the spot and hit Luo Yunsheng firmly, Shen Huai'an lifted his heart for a long time and did not let go, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

Shen Wanyi frowned and looked at him: "What are you kneeling hard, it's this little beast who is wrong." Then he raised a whip and hit Luo Xiaoqi on the back, took a few breaths, frowned and caught Luo Xiaoqi's eyes not only did not know how to repent, but also smiled heartlessly, as if he was acting for Luo Mingyuan outside the door.

Luo Yunsheng usually frolicks, but today she was bumped into by Luo Jiade's respected uncle, she was fighting with Luo Mingyuan, it was Luo Mingyuan who bullied Shen Huai'an first, Luo Yunsheng couldn't get used to it, and rushed directly to Luo Mingyuan's head is stabbing and beating.

Although Luo Mingyuan is five years older than Luo Yunsheng, but in terms of fighting skills, where is the opponent of the little bully Luo Yunsheng, the situation was reversed by Luo Yunsheng in three or two clicks, and then the old uncle saw this scene, Luo Yunsheng hit Luo Mingyuan's head roughly, and almost made people cry without a serious hand.

When Luo Yunsheng didn't know his mistake, he had been punished to kneel in the main hall, only to see Shen Wan slapping Luo Yunsheng again and again, and the two Taishi chairs in the main hall were placed in front of him, which was a condescending seat.

Usually only the head of the family is qualified to sit down, but the old uncle sits in an orderly manner while holding the tea, his gray hair is already over the age of old, and half of his foot is stepping into the coffin, but he still sits in this position in the name of the regular Luo family's family style, and sits still for a long time, which is about to become a unique benchmark here.

I saw him put down the tea, opened his mouth and was about to speak, but a few yellow teeth fell sporadically in his mouth, and then said to Shen Guan in a harmonious manner: "What's the use of you, the son is not called, the father's fault." You ask Yun Sheng how he usually educates his children."

Luo Yunsheng, who was originally opposed to Shen Wan's use of violence, finally had a chance to speak, only to see him help Luo Yunsheng up, and by the way, he also pulled Shen Huai'an, and said to everyone kindly: "The child can have a few years, and happiness is the most important thing."

"Hmph", the old uncle was unconvinced, squeezed out a gust of wind from his yellow teeth, knocked the cane in his hand on the ground, and made a muffled sound: "I said that your heart is really big enough, but now you are beating your own brother, do you want her to kill her brothers and sisters at that time."

Luo Yunsheng didn't speak, but Luo Zhengting, who was standing next to his uncle, helped to say, Luo Zhengting is now a gentleman who is a bookkeeper, and he can now get a piece of the Luo family's financial encyclopedia, and he has worked hard for the Luo family for several years, but his status is still not as good as that of Luo Yunsheng, the idle head of the family.

However, he also developed a sleek face because of this, and I saw him smiling and helping his younger brother Luo Yunsheng to relieve the siege: "Second uncle's words are serious, everyone is a harmonious brother, with blood thicker than water, how can they kill each other." I also asked at the time, and it was clear that my family Mingyuan was at fault first, bullying the child Huai'an, so Yun Sheng would make a move, and I asked the second uncle not to blame."

The old uncle didn't speak, just stared at him, Luo Zhengting was stared at and sweated, he knew that he had just talked too much, he was a child from a concubine, and he was not qualified to say so many things in the main hall.

Luo Zhengting stepped aside very familiarly, forming a blend with the background. Seeing this, Luo Yunsheng hurriedly kicked his daughter and pretended to shout: "Little rabbit cub, it is already light for the old uncle to punish you for kneeling in the ancestral hall, next time you dare to fight, be careful that I break your legs, understand."

Luo Yunsheng nodded politely, and immediately ran out with Shen Huai'an without looking back.

Shen Wan glanced at it, quietly withdrew the bamboo whip in his hand, and said to Luo Yunsheng in a lukewarm tone: "You are used to her, sooner or later she will let you get used to lifting the roof."

Luo Yunsheng didn't care, but looked at Shen Huai'an's back for a long time and refused to move his eyes: "You dumb brother, our Ah Sheng seems to really like it, and he protects it so well, he is about to catch up with his father and me."

The old uncle knows that this Luo Yunsheng's identity as an eldest lady has never been in tune with who he learned from, and he still responded to the sentence 'If the son does not teach, the father is wrong'.

Seeing that it was okay, the old uncle also withdrew from the main hall with the support of Luo Zhengting.

Shen Wan saw the old uncle leaving, and hurriedly pulled his ear, and said, "Are you more and more dissatisfied with my care of Ah Sheng, didn't you let that little girl go in front of the second uncle."

Luo Yunsheng rubbed Shen Guan's sore ears, and led Shen Wan out head-on: "This 'little girl' is also our daughter, if you don't feel sorry for me, you feel sorry for me."

Every time the two of them walked together, Shen Wan always walked in front of Luo Yunsheng, so this time he waited for her to take Luo Yunsheng's hand and lead him across the threshold in front of him, so that because of his words, he bypassed their daughter.

But on a whim: "Ah Sheng can let it go, but Huai'an can't let it go."

Luo Yunsheng felt that there was something in her words: "What do you want?"

"Don't I have a relative surnamed Hang in Beiping, or the scholarly family originally opened a academy, but it was replaced by a foreigner's cathedral in a few years, and their family's economy is becoming more and more sluggish, and recently I told me to bring his daughter over to see if I can accept her as a daughter-in-law."

"So you promised him to Huai'an, and you don't want her to be a daughter-in-law, you want her to be a daughter-in-law."

"Miss Hang's family is dignified and dignified, knowledgeable and courteous, and there are only benefits and no disadvantages to Huai'an, and Huai'an has a soft temperament and can be good to Miss Hang. If you change your eldest brother's three children, Miss Hang will not be wronged to death."

"If you really find a protégé for Huai'an, I think Ah Sheng will have to die of grievance first," said Luo Yunsheng, who knew her daughter.

But Shen Wan was really happy, and with an excited slap of both hands, he directly slapped Luo Yunsheng's hand, which was mixed with both hands: "It's because of Ah Sheng!" In this way, Ah Sheng is also close to Miss Hang, and it may be faster to follow her eldest lady's pace."

Luo Yunsheng felt that this was not a good way, so he closed his eyes and glanced at it: "Then there should be photos of the in-laws."

Shen Wan smiled, and took out a black-and-white photo with only three fingers wide from his pocket, the girl in the photo was slim, her eyes flashed when she smiled, and she was very smart: "The girl's name is Hang Qingyan, and she is two years older than Huai'an."

In front of the lectern, Jiang Yuan knocked on the blackboard behind him with words, there were only two students in front of him, one was Luo Yunsheng, who usually only caused trouble, did not listen well to lectures, and always started from the beginning, and the other was serious and sensible, but unfortunately it was Shen Huai'an, who couldn't speak.

I saw that he said with rare enthusiasm today: "New China is going to have a new atmosphere, it is the moment of change, the heroic words and feats of our martyrs, and the moment when we and other people of insight and aspiring young people should bow to the essence." Thinking back to more than 20 years ago, under the idea of 'mastering the country' and 'using the Chinese style and the West', he ran Western affairs and learned Western utensils, and then Wuxu learned the Westerners' constitutional monarchy and other princely systems. These changes ended in failure, but at the time there was no shortage of good ideas. Now I am learning a new culture, not only introducing the Western artifact system, but also the ideas held by the West.

What is Western thought, they have a rule, 'all men are created equal' which is not in line with the words of our Buddhism, so I think that all Western things are not necessarily good, we all learn, but the things that the West can give us are not only utensils, systems, but also ideas, what we lack most in China now is ideology, the lack of thoughtful youth, positive and enterprising youth."

Jiang Yuan said with a heavy palm on the wooden table in front of him: "Now let's go and learn thought, what Huai'an, go to teach you as a teacher."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed Shen Huai'an's hand, and stopped Luo Yunsheng, who was eager to go with him: "That kind of place, the little girl can't go, you are waiting for us here."

Then he pulled Shen Huai'an out, put one hand on Shen Huai'an's shoulder, and pressed it down, Shen Huai'an's height was pressed by Jiang Yuan by a degree, and Jiang Yuan looked up aggrieved.

And because Jiang Yuan took a big stride, he walked in a hurry. made Shen Huai'an have to run at his speed sometimes, sometimes jump disorderly to catch up with his steps, Jiang Yuan planned to take him outside, this is one of the few times Shen Huai'an went out: "You don't go out of the door all day long, like a girl, for the teacher, this is to take you to cultivate your sentiments, understand."

Jiang Yuan said self-righteously, as soon as he stepped out of the door, the first thing that caught his eye was a black-skinned German car, a neatly dressed soldier in military uniform pushed the door out of the front door, took steps, and respectfully opened the door of the rear seat.

A shiny leather shoe landed steadily, stood firmly, and came out of the car with a man in military uniform, and then Luo Zhengting followed closely behind and got out of the car.

The man in military uniform was about forty or fifty years old, and his center was full of a layer of scum, and he looked unsmiling and serious, and only a little residual heroism between his eyebrows could prove that this person was a handsome and beautiful man when he was young. He and Luo Zhengting stood together, but they looked smaller than Luo Zhengting of the same age.

Jiang Yuan and Shen Huai'an just collided with the two of them one after the other, looking at each other, Luo Zhengting was the first to look at them flatteringly and smiled: "Youtang, take Huai'an out." Youtang is the expression of Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan grabbed Shen Huai'an and bowed respectfully to the two people in front of him, and let Shen Huai'an behind him, raising his hands and holding his fists in a rare polite manner, and said in an orderly manner: "Yin Zhenshou, Second Master Luo, I'll take Huai'an out for a walk, if the two of you are okay, we will go first."

Shen Huai'an behind him kept his head down, Jiang Yuan always felt that Yin Zhenshou could pass through Jiang Yuan, and looked at the timid Huai'an with interest, so he took a step forward to cover most of Huai'an's body.

At this time, Shen Huai'an couldn't speak, and the town guard Shi Yin Xuetang also stood still, and Luo Zhengting said with false concern: "Come back early, don't play late."

Jiang Yuan nodded obediently, and dragged Shen Huai'an away. Yin Xuetang's gaze was pulled away as the two of them left, and finally turned his gaze and asked in a deep voice, "When did you come to such a stunning place in your mansion?"

Luo Zhengting smiled, knowing that he was asking Shen Huai'an, so he said again: "I have been here a long time ago, but haven't you been busy recently, then you will notice these in my house, this is the younger brother that Shen Guan just recognized, he is a mute who thought he was a very good-looking little girl when he first came, eh, don't make the idea of beating him with illness, the wife of the head of the family has already found a good family for him." It seems to be the Hang family of Beiping".

As the car drove away, the two entered the gate of Luo's house alone, and Yin Xuetang didn't speak again, revealing a noncommittal face.
