and leave

Lu Yiqing has been holding back at home for too long recently, and it's rare to come out before wanting to drag Shen Wangshu around.In the end, because she was distracted by the conversation with Master Mingwu, she forgot the unpleasantness of meeting Shen's family, and even forgot to ask Shen Wangshu.

Unexpectedly, she forgot about this, but the two sides had a bad relationship, and they met again while walking.

This time I didn't see Mrs. Shen, they met the two young girls who supported Mrs. Shen before, and two other wives whom Lu Yiqing didn't know were walking with them—presumably because Mrs. Shen was not young, I didn't have the energy to wander around when I came to worship the Buddha, and I don't know where to rest right now.It's a young girl's heart, so when she comes out, she can't help but walk around, and perhaps the elders are by her side.

Lu Yiqing frowned subconsciously when he saw the girl who showed malice before, and before several people approached, he grabbed Shen Wangshu and asked, "Wangshu, I forgot to ask you earlier, who are these people?"

Shen Wangshu obviously also saw the Shen family members coming towards him. He lowered his eyes slightly when he heard the question, but his tone was calm: "I forgot you don't remember. The elder I met at Master Mingwu's place was my grandmother, who is also Shen Wangshu. The old lady of my family. Two young girls, one is my concubine sister, the other is my third uncle's cousin, and it is said that grandma likes them quite a lot."

Lu Yiqing immediately heard the clue from her words - Shen Wangshu used "it is said", did she actually use "it is said" when she mentioned her own family matter?And that old Mrs. Shen, Shen Wang didn't like Shu's son, but favored the concubine's daughter, what's wrong? !

Without waiting for Lu Yiqing to ask any more questions, Shen Wangshu looked at the person opposite and continued to introduce: "The girl in yellow is my cousin, and the one in green is my cousin. As for the two wives, The one in purple is my Third Aunt, you call her Third Aunt when you meet her. As for the other... is my mother."

Hearing the last sentence, Lu Yiqing was stunned, and turned to look at Shen Wangshu's expression.However, she saw that her expression was indifferent, neither the joy of seeing her relatives or even her mother, nor the resentment caused by the other party's contempt, as if she saw an insignificant stranger.

Lu Yiqing suddenly felt a lot of weirdness in her heart, so that she subconsciously blurted out and asked, "Shall we change the road?"

In fact, the distance between the two sides is not far, and they have seen everything that should be seen. It is obviously rude to avoid it at this time.But Lu Yiqing didn't care about these things, she thought of the concubine sister who had shown malice towards Shen Wangshu before - a concubine girl from the Shen family dared to treat Shen Wangshu like this, she couldn't even imagine what it would be like to meet Shen Wangshu?But it's impossible for her daughter-in-law to suffer, and it's not easy for her to contradict her mother-in-law, so she might as well avoid it.

When Shen Wangshu heard what Lu Yiqing said, a smile flashed in his eyes, but he shook his head and said: "No need. When they go out, they always have to worry about face, and they won't embarrass me in public."

When Lu Yiqing heard this, his heart ached even more, and he was puzzled: "But why did they embarrass you?"

Shen Wangshu didn't answer this question, but Lu Yiqing soon found out.

They didn't change their way, and the people on the opposite side naturally wouldn't give way, and they bumped into each other in a few words.As juniors, Lu Yiqing and Shen Wangshu naturally wanted to salute Mrs. Shen and the third lady, but the other party did not ignore them as directly as Old Mrs. Shen.

The third lady seemed to be quite polite, and exchanged a few words with Lu Yiqing and the others, but there were more or less clever words in the words that Lu Yiqing could not understand.On the contrary, Mrs. Shen's face was even more ugly, seeing the two of them, she asked directly: "What are you doing here at Xiangguo Temple?"

These words don't seem to be concerned about asking, but rather like blaming them for showing up.

Lu Yiqing's complexion turned bad immediately, looking at Mrs. Shen, she almost doubted whether she was Shen Wangshu's biological mother.But she asked about Qian Qian in private, Shen Wangshu was indeed the son of his stepwife, and now the Shen wife is the other - since it is her own, why does Shen Wangshu have such an attitude towards Shen Wangshu?That indifferent look was not even as good as that of the concubine before.

As if he was afraid that Lu Yiqing would say something bad, Shen Wangshu secretly grabbed her sleeve, with a calm expression on his face: "Go back to mother, Ah Qing and I heard that Master Mingwu had settled down in Xiangguo Temple, so we came to ask for an audience. .”

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen frowned, she squinted at the two of them and said, "You also want to see Master Mingwu?"

Hearing this, Lu Yiqing felt that Mrs. Shen missed a word "by" before the whole sentence... You also want to see Master Mingwu?

Shen Wangshu hadn't answered yet, but Shen Pingting, a concubine at the side, covered her lips and said with a smile: "Mother is wrong. Although Master Mingwu is an eminent monk, he can't stop some people from being rich. 1000 taels of sesame oil can't impress Xiangguo Temple, then use 1 taels, they have a lot of money."

There is always a weird irony in saying this.In particular, Shen Pingting also emphasized the tone of the words "rich" and "wealthy", as if these two words are particularly vulgar and can't be heard, and Lu Yiqing is also very shy - what's wrong with being rich, and having money eats you Home rice?No, you don't have to eat your rice if you have money, why are you jealous because you can't eat rice? !

Lu Yiqing vaguely felt that the other party had a bit of hatred for the rich, but because of his class, there seemed to be some pride in this hatred for the rich.

Lu Yiqing still couldn't figure out Shen Pingting's state of mind. After hearing Shen Pingting's words, Mrs. Shen seemed to have heard something unpleasant, showing obvious disgust: "Well, the Buddhist sect is clean. , is also stained by your copper stink."

Lu Yiqing: "???"

Lu Yiqing never felt that there was any problem with using money to open the way. After all, Xiangguo Temple accepted her money, and it was a matter of your own will.What do you say defiled?You don’t need to eat when you are a monk, you don’t need money to build a golden body for a Bodhisattva, and you don’t need rice for doing good deeds?

She didn't quite understand Mrs. Shen's brain circuit, the other party might be too lofty.But at this moment Lu Yiqing obviously didn't want to bear it, so he said coldly: "Since you think we are stinky, then we won't stay here to disturb your eyes, and leave."

After saying this, Lu Yiqing took Shen Wangshu and left, and Shen Pingting said something rude about them from behind.

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

Lu Yiqing was really angry, and was so angry that he dragged Shen Wangshu all the way without stopping.

In the end, Shen Wangshu held her back, turned her around, and asked in a gentle voice: "What's the matter, why are you so angry?"

Lu Yiqing was furious, with grievances on his handsome face, but it wasn't for himself: "You still told me that they wouldn't embarrass you in public. That little girl speaks in a weird way, and your mother...it's all Isn't it embarrassing?"

For Shen Wangshu, it really doesn't count, but she obviously can't tell Lu Yiqing like this.Seeing that Lu Yiqing's cheeks were puffed up with anger, she even reached out to poke her face, and asked amusedly, "Do you think that's embarrassing?"

Lu Yiqing's cheeks were soft, and Shen Wangshu poked a dimple, which made her almost lose her temper.Especially seeing Shen Wangshu poking her cheek and showing an interested smile, Lu Yiqing felt that all the anger he had raised before seemed to be pierced by this finger.Then she calmed down and thought about it, but she didn't know how to respond to Shen Wangshu's words—is it embarrassing to say that she is rich?I'm afraid this is not a joke.

Throughout the ages, I have only heard that it is not good to have no money, and that poor and lowly couples are sad about everything, but I have never heard of anyone who dislikes themselves with a lot of money.

Lu Yiqing finally calmed down, and took Shen Wangshu's finger that poked her cheek, still a little puzzled: "I don't think it's a problem to have money, but their attitude is obviously wrong. Is there something wrong with me?"

Shen Wangshu was clutched by her index finger, and she let her hold it without struggling, and asked calmly: "It's not that you are bad, but they think I am bad." Having said this, Shen Wangshu pursed his lips, but did not hide anything : "You forgot, you and I got married at the beginning because we were captured by thieves. How can my daughter have a good reputation when her family is in a den of thieves? They are just making use of it."

After Lu Yiqing listened to it, he suddenly remembered some gossips he had heard in Prince Xiang's Mansion, and he suddenly understood something—women in ancient times had multiple names, and those who behaved noble like Mrs. Shen before, probably especially valued this.

Family, fame and festivals are two big mountains that weigh on a woman.

Lu Yiqing didn't know what happened back then, but she could figure out what would happen to a woman with a bad reputation.The better ones twisted their hair and sent them to their family temples to be aunts, while the worse ones died with a piece of white silk to show their ambitions.But Shen Wangshu didn't die, she chose to marry Lu Yiqing, maybe her life was a crime in the eyes of the Shen family, even her biological mother couldn't tolerate her!

Thinking about it, Lu Yiqing's eye circles turned red, feeling wronged for Shen Wangshu.

However, Shen Wangshu touched her cheek and said, "What are you thinking? I have nothing to be wronged if I can marry you." She even smiled as she spoke: "Actually, I am quite grateful for what happened back then. If it wasn't for that, I should marry someone else."

Lu Yiqing was still aggrieved for Shen Wangshu, but when she heard this, she became anxious: "Why are you marrying someone else?!"

Shen Wangshu winked at her and said with a smile: "I'm two years older than you, did you think I wasn't engaged at the beginning?" After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lu Yiqing to ask, he continued: "I was already married at the beginning. The marriage is set to be the son of an old friend of my father's. His family is in trouble, so he can't come to marry him for a long time, and my father doesn't want to call off the engagement because of his reputation, so he has been delaying."

When Lu Yiqing heard that Shen Wangshu once had a fiancé, she immediately felt sour, and asked: "Then where is he now?"

Shen Wangshu still smiled: "Naturally, I have retired a long time ago. I have ruined my reputation, and he refused to marry me. After the divorce, my father originally wanted to send me away. It was you who came to propose marriage with the dowry, that made you and me today. As for that person, I heard that after the divorce, he broke off contact with the Shen family, and has been doing nothing so far. But because his family is in decline, and your family is rich, others will say that I hate the poor and love the rich."

In fact, it is because the status of the merchants of the Lu family is not high that other people dare to talk like this.But where does this come from?Shen Wangshu was obviously the one who got divorced, but now everyone is here to scold her, women in this world are really hard.

Lu Yiqing felt even more distressed immediately, she knew that what happened back then must be far more than this, and the inside story of the Shen family was also more than this.

But she didn't want to ask any more, and raised her arms to hug her daughter-in-law. Lu Yiqing said, "Wang Shu, I remember that our family still pays Shen's a lot of money every month. We won't do business in Chang'an anymore. We don't need the Shen's." Asylum. I won’t give you the money, will I?”
