Chapter 550: The Second Uncle is ashamed!
The emperor has always been generous to the Li family, and directly gave Li Lao Er a household member from the fifth grade, who is in charge of all matters of the Relief Department.
This is simply an unexpected surprise for Li Lao Er!
He thought that it would be good to have an official position of a six-grade principal, but where did he think that the emperor would give him a five-grade job!
Don't look at this half of the product, many people have stayed up for ten or eight years, and they may not be able to climb up.
After the three of them kowtowed to thank him, Li Lao Er took the holy decree and offered it to the incense table prepared temporarily, and then invited the chief eunuch into the house to drink tea.
The chief eunuch was also very easy-going, refused to drink tea, only admired the flowers in the courtyard, and then gossiped and told Li Lao Er not to live up to the emperor's trust.
For the sake of this outsider from the fifth grade, the emperor and the elders in the center did not bother to speak.
In addition, after the Relief Bureau, the monthly money and grain have also become 100 quintals of grain and 100 taels of silver, and doctors from the Medical Department will also take turns to visit the Relief Bureau every month......
Li Lao Er quickly calculated in his heart that the new standard of money and food was enough for more than half of the relief department.
In this way, the court is the main one, and he is the auxiliary, which is a very good situation.
In the early days, he may also need to sell flowers for supplies to supplement the Relief Department.
But in the future, we will slowly look for opportunities to attract more people to donate, and when the old and young people of the relief department can recover from their illnesses and survive, they can also support themselves.
At that time, there may not be any need for the help of the Li family......
A quarter of an hour later, the chief eunuch stuffed a silver ticket in his sleeve, and happily returned to the palace to resume his life, leaving Li Lao Er still in a trance.
He really made a plan, and the result was unexpectedly good?!
Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng couldn't wait for another drink and celebrate.
But Mr. Wen still said with restraint: "Yusheng, let's go back to Broken Gold Beach to report the good news first, so that the family will be happy."
"Moreover, the Relief Department is not something that can be taken care of by blowing a breath, there must always be a countermeasure, and the manpower must be well coordinated......
Liu Zhiheng nodded in agreement: "Yes, when you need money and food, remember to tell me." Of course, my dad is worried about a golden lotus, and you have to prepare it for me. ”
Li Lao Er couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, if you lack anyone, you won't lack the old man." ”
After a few more gossips, Li Lao Er instructed Uncle Zhao and the Cao family to say a few words, and then hurried out of the city with the holy decree.
In the broken gold beach, dinner was being prepared in the Li family's compound.
Li Zhensheng is not at home, Li Lao Er lives in Baihuayuan, the third husband and wife and children are in Luo'an, and finally there are Mrs. Li, Tao Hongying and Jiayin, three generations of women in the courtyard.
There are few people, and there is no taste for eating, so only porridge and side dishes are prepared for dinner, and egg cakes are baked.
The three flicked their tails, lying at the door of the house, rolling an egg, a little greedy, and wanted to play, the fox's face was full of entanglement, which made the family laugh.
As a result, as soon as the meal was served, Li Lao Er came back in a hurry.
"Hey, why did the second child come back tonight?" Mrs. Li was very strange, couldn't help but worry, and asked her son who had just entered the house, "Second child, you came back to live, what should I do with those flowers in the garden, will they be stolen?" ”
"Don't worry, I've arranged everything." Li Lao Er smiled and washed his hands and face, cleaned up, sat at the table, and then motioned to Zheng Feng to take the holy decree and come out, "Mother, I received the holy decree today, you remember to make offerings." ”
"Divine decree?" Mrs. Li and the whole family were surprised, and she continued to ask, "The emperor has rewarded you with something again?" But, didn't you give it before? ”
Li Lao Er coughed dryly, tried his best to suppress his joy, and said: "Mother, no, this time the emperor appointed me to be a foreigner from the fifth grade, and I will take over the relief department in the future!" ”
Mrs. Li doesn't know much about the names of these fictitious posts, but the fictitious posts are good-sounding, and the real jobs are for the emperor, she can still tell the difference!
"Yes, yes! The emperor is too good to our family on weekdays, I have not been steadfast in my heart, in the future, you have to do an errand, you have to work hard, share worries for the emperor, and be worthy of the emperor's grace! ”
"Don't worry, I know." Li Lao Er hurriedly got up and came down.
Tao Hongying also smiled and said: "Congratulations to the second brother, but unfortunately the eldest brother, the third brother and the fourth brother are not there, so I can't accompany the second brother to have a glass of wine to celebrate!" ”
Jiayin also ran over, hugged the second uncle's arm, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the second uncle, the second uncle is a big official, and he will be a Shangshu and a prime minister in the future!" ”
"Okay, the second uncle works hard, he must be a big official!" Li Lao Er rubbed the hair of his little niece, "Eat first, and after eating, the second uncle will take you out for a walk." ”
After the family made an offering, they sat around again, eating, talking and laughing, and they were all happy.
The earl's name is good, and he is respected when he goes out, but he has no serious errands other than attending a big court meeting.
It's just that because of this title, Li Lao Er can't go to the hot spring valley more, let alone work in the fields.
If he didn't open a hundred gardens, he would really have to lie flat at home all day......
Now that he has a real job, he doesn't care what he does, he can finally be useful!
Soon, the meal was finished, Tao Hongying led people to remove the table, and Mrs. Li was looking for fabrics to make two sets of new clothes for her son.
She, a mother, can't help her son, but she can still do it if she dresses up her son neatly and neatly, and doesn't let people look down on her son because of such a trivial matter!
Jiayin took the second uncle's hand, walked out of the courtyard gate, and walked all the way to the archway at the entrance of the village.
Li Lao Er didn't treat his little niece as an ordinary child, and he made it clear how he planned to get this real job on the way, and how he planned to arrange it in the future.
After that, seeing that he was far away from the house, he squatted down again and carried the little niece on his back, for fear that the little niece would be tired.
Jiayin listened carefully, and at this time he put his arms around the neck of the second uncle and praised: "The second uncle is really powerful, he became an official without taking the top exam!" Zhimin's brother said that Uncle Liu often provokes anger in the Yamen, and those who are officials together always look down on Uncle Liu.
"In the future, the second uncle will go to be an official, if anyone bullies you, the second uncle said to Fu Niu'er, Fu Niu'er will help you clean them up!"
Li Lao Er's heart was warm when he heard this, and he couldn't help laughing, he lifted his fat niece up more and more, and said: "The second uncle is an adult, and he should protect you and love you, but the second uncle didn't do it, but instead wanted to exchange your flowers for money and food to help others." It's this outsider from Wupin, who also got it like this. The second uncle is very ashamed......
"But you wait for three months, and after three months, the second uncle will let the relief department be self-sufficient, and there is no longer a need for our family to sell flowers to make up for it!"
"Second uncle! I still have a lot of those flowers, and the second uncle used them to exchange money and food to save people, I am very happy. Fu Niu'er patted the second uncle on the shoulder, "And I know that the second uncle is an official just to protect me, my grandmother and my family!" Now, the eldest uncle, the third uncle, and the father are not at home, and I want to help the second uncle! ”
Li Lao Er's nose was sour when he heard this, and he almost shed tears.
He was not wronged, and shed tears because someone understood his well-intentioned joy.
Actually, to be honest, he prefers to drink tea, read books, go around the valley, and go to the school to teach the children.
Occasionally, I will go into the city to meet a friend, in groups of three or five, drink and get drunk, talk highly, how comfortable......
