and leave

Lu Yiqing finally picked up his wife and returned to Chang'an. The first thing he did after settling down was naturally to send a letter to Wei Jingrong.

More than a month is actually not too long, but after these coups, every day is important enough.For example, the situation in the court has changed, for example, the original Wei family army has a position in the court, and for example, the throne has a home.

In general, Lu Yiqing missed a lot this time around, but she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.In fact, when Wei Jingrong told General Wei about her asking for leave to return to Xiliang, although the latter showed anger, he was not really angry because of it deep down.Even because of Lu Yiqing's love for his sons and daughters and his disregard for the overall situation, he felt more at ease in his heart.

When Lu Yiqing came back and the news passed to Wei Jingrong, General Wei did not treat her badly.But after waiting for a few days, the official seal document from the Ministry of Officials was delivered to Lu's family, and the official position was not low, he was the Minister of the Household Department of the third rank.

Shen Wangshu was a little surprised when he saw the document at the time, and said to Lu Yiqing: "Since ancient times, the fourth rank of a Beijing official has been the limit. Below the fourth rank, it is nothing but mediocrity. It is often not easy for officials to be promoted to the fourth rank. The general is straightforward, Ah Qing. You can almost be said to have reached the sky in one step." After she finished speaking, she shook her head again: "It is not easier for a general to be promoted than a civil servant. I am afraid that there are not many official functions in the Wei Family Army that can compare with you."

The Wei family army has only just entered Chang'an, and their foundation in the court is not stable. Even if General Wei is powerful now, it is impossible for his subordinates to ascend to heaven in a grand manner.So there are rewards, but if you really want to jump several levels in a row, you won't break the rules.

Of course Lu Yiqing understood this, so he was a little surprised when he received the document, but after thinking about it, he understood again, and curled his lips indifferently: "It sounds good, but how can this official be so easy? I'm afraid it was the previous emperor Fighting endlessly with King Xiang has drained the national treasury long ago, so I want to make up for it. By the way, I also want to keep an eye on those people in the household department, lest they get used to stretching out their hands."

Speaking of which, Lu Yiqing didn't even need to inquire, he could guess what happened before - King Xiang was convicted of treason, and Prince Xiang's mansion must be confiscated. I am afraid that General Wei also has the intention of filling the treasury with this.It's just that these officials in the court have long been corrupted under the leadership of their two immediate bosses, and they didn't forget to make a fortune even at this moment. If it weren't for this, General Wei probably wouldn't be in a hurry to get this official position.

Lu Yiqing felt a little headache thinking about the future.In fact, she didn't really want to be an official. Originally, the best plan was to earn a glamorous title. As long as no one dared to bully her in the future, it would be enough. Why bother?

It's a pity that, until now, there is no room for her to refuse, so she had no choice but to accept this burden resentfully.

Shen Wangshu saw that she was reluctant to become an official, and was depressed for several days. Apart from being funny, he coaxed her patiently for a long time: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, you don't have to say goodbye to him after a few years when you become a general. The official is."

After hearing this, Lu Yiqing pursed her lips, feeling aggrieved: "But in a few years, I'll be busy with everything I should be busy with, and cleaning up the mess right now will be the most troublesome."

Shen Wangshu understood the truth, so he stopped persuading her and only tried to coax her every day.

And Lu Yiqing didn't understand this, the reason why he made it clear was that he wanted his daughter-in-law to coax her more.

The two of them lived a sticky life, except that Lu Yiqing was not very happy at work, there was nothing to criticize.

After going on for several days like this, it finally came to the day of the Great Court Meeting, and Lu Yiqing finally entered the palace wearing an official robe.The Xuanzheng Hall was full of courtiers, except for the Wei family father and son standing in the ranks of generals, she hardly knew any of them.Look at the little emperor above who is trying to sit upright, but for a four-year-old boy, it is not bad if he can sit obediently without crying or fussing, and he is no different from ordinary children.

Lu Yiqing had never participated in a court meeting before, but in fact, it was quite boring to stand there for two or three hours, listening to the arguments of those adults coming and going.Especially since she is just an ordinary person, apart from dealing with money, she really doesn't know much about other things.

Until the next court, Lu Yiqing didn't say a word, and Lord Shangshu had already said something for her.Therefore, when the chief servant on the imperial steps announced that he was going down, Lu Yiqing immediately let out a long breath, as if he was relieved.Then when she raised her eyes, she happened to meet the eyes of Wei Jingrong, who was in the ranks of generals opposite, and the relief on his face was exactly the same as hers.

Seeing this scene, the two couldn't help but smile at each other.

Lu Yiqing was about to go over to say hello to Wei Jingrong and leave together, but before he could take a step, someone blocked him.She raised her eyes and saw an old man in a scarlet official robe, looking at her with raised eyebrows.

Suddenly, Lu Yiqing was taken aback, but before she could do anything, the other party gave a cold snort and shook his sleeves and left.

Lu Yiqing became more and more confused, and at this moment Wei Jingrong came over, seeing her bewildered face rolled his eyes, and asked, "Xiao Lu, do you know that old man just now?"

Subconsciously, Lu Yiqing felt that Wei Jingrong's question was a bit malicious, but she still thought about it, then shook her head and said, "I don't know." It looks familiar, but I can't remember the identity of the other party for a while."

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Wei Jingrong laughed out loud at that time, which attracted many people to look over.

Lu Yiqing didn't understand, so he frowned and pulled him out of the Xuanzheng Hall, and then asked, "What's the matter, why are you laughing?"

Wei Jingrong still laughed, and then bumped his shoulder into her and winked at her, "Xiaolu, Xiaolu, you said you, when you first entered Chang'an, you couldn't wait to be appointed as an official, so you had to go back to Xiliang to pick up your wife. You said that your husband and wife are deeply in love, but now it turns out that the old man is standing in front of you, and you actually said that you don’t know each other, if it spreads out, I don’t know how many people will laugh to death.”

Old man?Patriarch Shen!

Lu Yiqing was stunned for a while, hurriedly raised his head to look, but the other person had long since disappeared - it's really not her fault that he didn't know the old man.One thing is that Shen Wangshu married her at a low level, and even had the intention of "covering up the scandal", so the entire Shen family looked down on this marriage.The head of the Shen family may not have treated her as a serious son-in-law, and the two of them only met once or twice during the whole marriage.Furthermore, after getting married, Lu Yiqing suffered from "amnesia". Shen Wangshu and Patriarch Lu were worried about her contacting outsiders, and the two parties had no chance to meet each other.

In fact, after doing the math, Lu Yiqing himself doesn't even remember the last time he saw Patriarch Shen, maybe it was the other party's birthday party four or five years ago?But for banquets and the like, she and Shen Wangshu were the last seats respectfully, at most they could just take a look at them from afar.

I can't tell what mood I am in at the moment, Lu Yiqing just glanced at Wei Jingrong helplessly: "Okay, don't laugh. It's been so many years, I don't believe that you didn't check my background, you don't know that Ah Chen and I are related to each other. The Shen family is not harmonious."

Wei Jingrong shrugged and did not deny it: "I only found out that you were still sending money to the Shen family before you left Chang'an."

Lu Yiqing's mood became more complicated, she waved her hand and left him and walked away alone.

****************************************************************************

Seeing Patriarch Shen, Lu Yiqing did not tell Shen Wangshu at first—she mentioned it as early as when she was in Xiliang, because of the involvement of Princess Xiang, the current situation of the Shen family must not be good. Answer the call.

Looking at it now, the Shen family can be considered to be deeply entrenched, even today the head of the Shen family is still a high-ranking official in the court.

But these have nothing to do with Lu Yiqing, after all, the relationship between the two parties was not close at first, and she didn't plan to take the initiative to contact the other party after returning to Chang'an.Today, Patriarch Shen ran up to her and snorted coldly, the meaning was quite different, so after returning home, Lu Yiqing first asked the housekeeper to ask, and learned that the family had indeed received a lot of invitations recently, but there was no one from the Shen family. s post.

After Lu Yiqing found out, he sneered in his heart, and understood Patriarch Shen's meaning.It's just that she has a different status now, and the Shen family is in a difficult situation and wants to cling, but they still can't let go of their face and take the initiative to contact, so they want to use their status as an elder to "remind" her to take the initiative.

To tell the truth, Lu Yiqing really didn't like him, after all, the Shen family stood by and watched when the Lu family was cornered.

After clearing up his mood, Lu Yiqing mentioned in front of Shen Wangshu that he met Patriarch Shen in the court hall.

After listening to Shen Wangshu's expression, she really didn't intend to go back to the Shen family, she just said calmly: "It turns out that my father is still in court, it seems that the matter of elder sister and King Xiang is not too serious for the Shen family. big impact."

Hearing this, it was so indifferent, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.However, unlike four years ago, now that Lu Yiqing has recovered his memory, he has completely understood her mood, and naturally he will not say any inappropriate words.So in a few words, he changed the topic, as if he really just mentioned that sentence in the beginning.

The two changed the subject and restored the atmosphere, Lu Yiqing felt relaxed, so she stretched her waist and said to Shen Wangshu: "I've been busy for a few days, and it's finally my turn to take a bath in two days, so I should take a good rest." Take a break."

Seeing this, Shen Wangshu raised his hand and squeezed her shoulders for her. Lu Yiqing shrank his neck as if he was afraid of the tickle, and when Shen Wangshu exerted force on his hands and screamed in pain, he said in a repeated voice: "Ah Chen, Ah Chen, Take it easy, it hurts..."

However, Shen Wangshu did not let go, and still squeezed her shoulders with moderate strength: "If it works, it doesn't hurt, if it hurts, it doesn't work. I didn't use it for a long time, but you hurt like this. It can be seen that the Qi and blood are blocked. You should squeeze it well."

While speaking, her subordinates kept moving, letting Lu Yiqing howl in pain.Until Shen Wangshu got tired of pinching and Lu Yiqing didn't complain of pain anymore, she withdrew her hand and looked again, and she was looking at Shang Lu Yiqing's pitiful eyes—the tear-filled eyelashes, the delicate and pitiful appearance, it can be called Shen Wangshu was taken aback by the sentence "I see pity".

After a while, Shen Wangshu came back to his senses, stretched out his index finger and tapped the corner of Lu Yiqing's eyes, wiping away some tears.

Seeing this, Lu Yiqing was inexplicably embarrassed, and was about to raise his hand to wipe away his tears, but saw Shen Wangshu put his index finger into his mouth naturally.Her face turned red all of a sudden, and after holding back for a while, she said, "Ah Chen, I think you are teasing me."

Unexpectedly, Shen Wangshu nodded and admitted generously: "Yes."
