Chapter IX The Restoration of the General Administration Department was abolished
When I arrived at the house, it was already waning.
The remnant sun was obscured by the sparse clouds, casting an orange-red light. The vegetation in the courtyard shone with an illusory glow as if it had been gilded with gold.
In the lobby of Luofu, it was rare to gather all the masters in the courtyard, but it was also rare to be silent.
As soon as Luo Sanye entered the door, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and asked in a loud voice, "What's wrong?" What's the urgency to call us all back? Why are they all crying and sad? ”
The second master of the Luo family turned his head to look at the others, and seeing that everyone was not talking, he said to the third master Luo, "Something is wrong." The general secretary of the eldest brother has been abolished, and everyone is thinking about it. Come over here and figure it out together. ”
Luo Sanye exclaimed, "Cut? Why should the good end be cut? ”
Second Master Luo stammered, "It's not all the guys who make trouble. Kang Youwei and those people shouted every day to change the law, okay, now the change has come to us. The eldest brother's officials are gone. I heard that Guanglu Temple, Honglu Temple, Dali Temple or something, all of them have been cut. This is nonsense! ”
Uncle Luo had a gloomy face and did not speak. The eldest grandmother stretched out her hand and put her hand on his arm and shook it, which was considered comforting.
Grandma Luo San listened to Kang Youwei's name, but she was stunned for a moment before she reacted. The name that I had only seen in history books suddenly appeared in life, and suddenly gave birth to a strong sense of absurdity.
She pulled Luo Sanye to find a place to sit down, only to hear the old lady frown, "What is this change?" I don't understand. ”
Luo Sanye raised his head and said, "Anyway, it's not a good thing, so the eldest brother's errand is gone." He turned his head and asked Uncle Luo, "Big brother, then you are all going home?" ”
Uncle Luo nodded and breathed a long sigh of relief, "In addition to the General Administration Department, several institutions have also been laid off. Officials at all levels combined, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people will return home. The war has stopped, the situation is unstable, and so many treaties have been signed that have lost power and humiliated the country, and now they are still ruled by traitors, and the chaos of the dynasty is ......"
Luo Sanye hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Bah, stop, stop, what are you talking about, big brother." It's a shame that there are no outsiders at home, so don't talk nonsense when you go outside. ”
Second Master Luo also responded, "What does the eldest brother want to do so much?" The so-called 'meat eaters seek it'. Now that you're back, it's not necessarily a bad thing, and the family is not bad for you. It's good to go to the shop and help. As he was talking, the second grandmother pinched his arm, and the second master Luo screamed.
Listening to their words, Grandma Luo San went through the history of junior high school in her previous life in her mind, but she only vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a streamlining of institutions, but as for the details of the abolition of institutions, she had no impression at all. However, the "100-day Restoration" only lasted about three months, and she was extremely sure. So he persuaded, "There have been changes in all dynasties, but the changes that go against the will of the people will not last long." Big brother, it's better to be restless and wait and see. Maybe there's something going on. ”
Uncle Luo nodded and sighed, "That's all." ”
The second grandmother said with a smile, "The General Administration Department has been cut, and there are always other yamen." Isn't the sister-in-law of the third grandmother's mother's family the daughter of Lord Han of the Ministry of Justice? Let the third grandmother intercede and change the uncle's errand, no. I still eat the emperor's food. ”
When the old lady heard this, she slapped her thigh and said happily, "Yes, yes, the second family doesn't say it, I don't even think of this stubble." Five girls, your second brother's father-in-law is the head of the ministry, and it should be useful to ask him. ”
Grandma Luo San thought about it for a while, and it seemed that there was such a relationship in her memory. So he responded, "I'll go to find out the wind in two days, and now this layoff is on the outlet, and I can't say whether it will be successful or not." ”
The second grandmother stretched the tone again and said with a smile, "Yo, sister-in-law, can I help you?" Our third grandmother is so eloquent, she must be able to do it. ”
Luo Sanye suddenly slapped the folding fan on the table and said, "Whether you help or not is also for the third grandmother's face, why do you talk so much?" You can also do something practical to help, and the light will move your mouth. ”
The second grandmother stood up angrily, pointed at him and said, "I'm not also trying to figure out a way for my eldest brother, how do you talk about this?" ”
Luo Sanye sneered, "If you really want the good of the family, hurry up and ask your baby brother to spit out the money he eats." Don't take your family's money every day to stick to your mother's house. You really don't have to worry about anything else. ”
When the second grandmother heard him say this, she was so anxious that she stomped her feet and cried to her man, "What is this called, where did I take the money to stick to my mother's house?" My brother is not a human being, how can I know. ”
Second Master Luo also heard about Qin Han's matter, and he felt ashamed, but at this time, he was annoyed by her crying, and reprimanded, "What are you crying about, you just talk a lot." Just say a few words. ”
The old lady frowned and said to Luo Sanye, "Third child, don't talk nonsense. The second family also helped with ideas. ”
The second grandmother took out a handkerchief, wiped her tears and turned away.
Seeing that she was really gone, Third Master Luo grinned at Second Master Luo, "Yo, Second Brother." I cried, and I didn't go to coax it. ”
Second Master Luo said with disgust, "Go, go." It's not you who made the fuss. We said that the eldest brother is serious, why are you going to recruit her. But he still stood up and followed.
After the second room left, after a while, the uncle of the Luo family also said that he was tired and went back to the house. The old lady asked Luo Sanye to go back by herself, but she took Luo San's grandmother back to her house.
As soon as she entered the house, the old lady asked Xia Yu to lead everyone else out, and closed the door mysteriously. Only then did he dig out a package of oiled paper from the dark compartment behind the bed.
The old lady trembled and uncovered the layers of oiled paper outside, revealing a dark red wooden box. As soon as it was opened, there were several layers of bright red silk inside, and on it was a pair of jade bracelets that were green and transparent, and at a glance you knew that the color was good.
Grandma Luo San was surprised, "Mother, this is ......"
The old lady stretched out her hand and reluctantly stroked the shiny bracelet, and there seemed to be light in her eyes, "This is my dowry back then......"
Grandma Luo San was stunned, she really didn't know what she meant, and listened to her again, "When you go to ask others to do something, you must always show some sincerity." I paid off the debt for the third child last time here, and there are really no good things left......"
As he spoke, he closed the box and slowly handed it to Grandma Luo San and said, "Take this...... To your second sister-in-law...... Let her beg her father and help the boss talk......"
Grandma Luo San lowered her head, only to feel a slight sour in her eyes. "Mother, I can't take it. This bracelet is very valuable...... My sister-in-law's place, I'll go buy gifts. ”
The old lady stuffed the box into her hand and said with a smile, "Your sister-in-law came out of the Gaomen compound, and I am afraid that ordinary gifts will not be worth it." Take it, this is asking someone to do something, and you will listen to my ......"
Grandma Luo San hesitated for a long time, but still took the box, nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, mother, I will try my best to convince my second sister-in-law." ”
The old lady patted the back of her hand with satisfaction and smiled kindly, "This is my five girls." ”
Grandma Luo San looked at her, but remembered her grandmother in her previous life, who always loved to worry about her juniors, and also opened the layers of crumpled plastic bags that she had saved for a long time, and secretly stuffed them to herself. I can't refuse yet.
The old man in his memory instantly coincided with the old lady Luo in front of him, as if he could still hear her saying, "Take it." Don't tell your parents. Knowing that you have a lot of money now, my old woman doesn't lack anything now. It's useless for me to ask for this. ”
The uncontrollable sourness churned in her heart, and Grandma Luo San held back her tears and hurriedly said goodbye.
When I walked to the door, I listened to the old lady not forgetting to tell her behind her, "I will ask Steward Luo to prepare gifts for your parents and family tomorrow, and when you go back, just let him know." ”
Grandma Luo San nodded yes hurriedly, and was afraid that others would see her gaffe, so she walked out of the old lady's yard as usual. After leaving the courtyard gate, he hurried back to his house.
Closing the door and looking at the box, she sat down in front of the desk and burst into tears.
