and leave

The Shen family where Shen Wangshu was born was considered a family, and many members of the family served in the court.However, the Shen family is somewhat different from those dignitaries, because most of the children of the Shen family serve in the Qing Dynasty, either in the Imperial Academy or in the Imperial Academy.

Qingliu has a good reputation and has a lot of contacts, but when it comes to power and money, that's not the case.

Because of Qingliu's background, the Shen family has a noble character in their bones, otherwise, the head of the Shen family would not have refused to divorce Shen Wangshu because of face.But no matter how noble people are, they have to eat in the end - the Shen family has inherited a lot of family property for several generations, but no matter how many properties there are, it can't support a large number of people, and Qingliu doesn't mean that they don't need to support the facade of the family. .

The Lu family is different, the Lu family is the owner of the Lu family brought the fortune, there is no inheritance, but the large sum of gold and silver is only supported by the father and daughter.At the beginning, Lu Yiqing had the cheek to ask Shen Wangshu to marry him. He thought he was superior, and he was also afraid that Shen Wangshu would be inferior to the sisters because of him, so he has been sending money to the Shen family for three years.

Not only the Shen family, but also Prince Xiang's mansion, the two families devoured the money of the Lu family like gold-swallowing beasts, but they were still not enough.

Lu Yiqing accidentally flipped through the ledger, looking at the large sum of expenses, it was not that he didn't feel sorry for the money.But at that time she didn't think much about it, Shen's family thought it was okay to spend some money for his daughter-in-law because Shen looked at Shu Aiwu and Wu.No matter what King Xiang's thoughts are at Prince Xiang's mansion, it's not that the Lu family hasn't borrowed the other party's name and won the protection of the other party in the past three years.

But now everything is different, King Xiang was fed up with the Lu family's money, and wanted to take the entire Lu family for himself.And the Shen family is not as kind as Lu Yiqing thought - spend her money and still look down on her, why? !

Lu Yiqing was not convinced, and made Shen Wangshu worthless, so he said in a flash: "Wangshu, I remember that our family still has to give Shen's a lot of money every month, and we will not do business in Chang'an from now on. Home asylum. I won’t give you the money, right?”

After finishing speaking, Lu Yiqing bit her lip, feeling a little regretful.

She didn't regret the decision, but she regretted saying so.Shen Wangshu is the daughter of the Shen family after all, no matter what the Shen family's attitude towards her is, in the eyes of the world, she should not harbor resentment towards her parents and family.And she has endured it for three years, and she still has feelings for the Shen family, so does her decision put her in a dilemma?

If you really want to cut off the Shen family's money, you don't need to let Shen Wangshu know.She privately informed the steward who would send the money, or else just said hello to Patriarch Lu, so why make things difficult for her?

Lu Yiqing was thinking a little too much, but Shen Wangshu's attitude on the other side was more straightforward than she expected, and the smile on his face didn't even fade a bit: "That's fine, we're leaving anyway, and we won't be able to travel thousands of miles from now on." Send money again from afar."

Lu Yiqing was stunned because of her indifference: "Huh?"

Shen Wangshu pinched her cheek again, and said with a smile: "You forgot, I said earlier that you don't need to send money to the Shen family. They didn't look down on you and me at all, and they wouldn't change anything just because you sent money. .And if they receive a lot of money, they will take it for granted, even if one day the money is cut off, they will treat us as enemies who owe them."

Lu Yiqing blinked, and felt that what Shen Wangshu said was very reasonable, now that he had lost his money, the Shen family would definitely hate him.But what does that matter, as long as Shen Wangshu doesn't care, she won't bother to care who the Shen family is.

The anger in her heart seemed to subside gradually, Lu Yiqing stared at Shen Wangshu and asked again: "Then Wangshu, do we still want to stroll around the temple?"

Shen Wangshu obviously didn't want to meet the Shen family again, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's go."

Lu Yiqing had no objection this time, and led his wife to walk outside the Xiangguo Temple, making calculations in his heart as he walked: Every time the Lu family gave money to the Shen family, it was at the beginning of the month, and now it is the middle of the month. Definitely gave it.

Thinking about it, I feel a little panicked, but it doesn't matter, there will be no more next month, let's see how they still show their arrogance!

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

The two left Xiangguo Temple, where incense was at its peak, but they spent more than a month on the road. They stayed in the temple for less than half an hour, praying to Buddha, donating sesame oil, and begging to see Master Mingwu. .

The weather was fine today, and the scenery outside Xiangguo Temple was not bad, so Lu Yiqing took Shen Wangshu and walked away.

The carriage followed the two of them not far or near, and there were pilgrims passing by, and occasionally there were peddlers carrying burdens to sell, it seemed that it was quite lively.It's just that Lu Yiqing was full of thoughts when he came here, so he didn't pay attention to these things. At this moment, holding Shen Wangshu, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Is the incense in Xiangguo Temple so good? There are so many pilgrims, if you build a shop here, it won't be a lot of money every day?"

Shen Wangshu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and tapped her forehead with his fingers: "What are you thinking about? It's just that today is the fifteenth day, and there are more people coming to offer incense, otherwise you think there will be so many people here every day." Pilgrims?!"

Lu Yiqing has indeed heard that there are many people offering incense on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, but she lives in a muddleheaded way. She only remembers that it is the middle of the month, but she didn’t notice that today happens to be the fifteenth day... so it’s no wonder that Master Mingwu is like this today Busy, people asking to see one after another.

Thinking about what was missing, Lu Yiqing didn't have much respect for the master Mingwu who spoke in a cloud, and inadvertently muttered what was in his heart.In the end, Shen Wangshu knocked on the head again, and warned her in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, there are many people here, if someone who admires Master Mingwu hears it, be careful to trouble you."

Lu Yiqing immediately covered his head pitifully: "Wang Shu, stop knocking, what if you knock me stupid again?"

Shen Wangshu held back his smile, glanced at her angrily, and said softly, "I'm just stupid."

Lu Yiqing heard it, and could hear the intimacy and jokes in Shen Wangshu's words.But she still puffed up her cheeks pretending to be angry, and was about to drag her daughter-in-law into a fight, when suddenly a voice came from behind: "Ashu?"

Shen Wangshu took the lead to look back when he heard the sound, Lu Yiqing naturally stopped making trouble when he saw this, and turned his head with a restrained expression.I saw a woman dressed as a woman coming towards me with a few maids.The other party seemed to be about the same age as Shen Wangshu, and looked familiar with Shen Wangshu, but Lu Yiqing didn't know him or remember him.

Could it be the Shen family again?

Thinking of this, Lu Yiqing frowned subconsciously, feeling a little irritable in her heart.

But he didn't want Shen Wangshu to see the woman smiling, and let go of Lu Yiqing to go up to her, calling: "A Ning."

Looking at the situation, Lu Yiqing knew that the relationship between the two was probably really good, and it didn't matter whether the other party was from the Shen family or not.But she looked down at her empty palm, and then at the two people who met each other very happily, the jealousy in her heart was already bubbling...

Before Lu Yiqing was soured to death by herself, she quickly followed Shen Wangshu's footsteps, staring at the opposite woman with a pair of eyes.Even after seeing the woman's shining woman's bun, the vigilance in her eyes didn't decrease in the slightest.

The mother-in-law behind Ah Ning took two steps forward, blocking Lu Yiqing's sight, her eyes were more defensive than Lu Yiqing's.

Lu Yiqing couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and simply stopped looking at the other party, so don't make her look like a pervert.She put her eyes back on Shen Wangshu again, eagerly expecting her daughter-in-law to take care of her, but Shen Wangshu didn't notice her, and instead smiled at the woman opposite her with crooked eyebrows: "Ah Ning, long time no see, is this finally the end of your life?" Back to Chang'an?"

Aning signaled the mother-in-law to back away, and smiled softly at Shen Wangshu: "Yes, I just came back a few days ago, and I originally accompanied my mother-in-law to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense. It's such a coincidence to meet here."

Seeing the two of them acting like no one else, Lu Yiqing immediately became even more sour.She tugged at Shen Wangshu's sleeve, wanting to ask her who he was.But in front of outsiders, she was afraid that the two sides knew each other before, and it would make a joke if they asked again, so she kept silent.

Shen Wangshu hadn't responded yet, but it was Ah Ning who saw Lu Yiqing's small movements, and opened his mouth first: "Is this the gentleman of the Lu family?"

As soon as Lu Yiqing heard it, she knew that they didn't know each other, and she immediately felt much calmer.At this time, Shen Wangshu also held her hand that was tugging her sleeves, and smiled at Aning who was facing him: "Yes, this is my husband. It's a pity that I got married too late, and you have already left Chang'an with your husband. You were not there when we got married, so I can only write to you for a word."

After introducing Lu Yiqing with Ah Ning, Shen Wangshu finally remembered to introduce him to Lu Yiqing, so he said to Lu Yiqing again: "Ah Qing, this is my best friend in the boudoir, her husband's surname is now Jiang, you Call her Mrs. Jiang Shao."

Lu Yiqing smiled politely when he heard the words, and called out in a polite manner: "Mrs. Jiang Shao."

Ah Ning also nodded politely at Lu Yiqing, but then invited Shen Wangshu to talk at a nearby teahouse.The relationship between the two is really good, from the past to the recent situation, and from the scenery of other places to the rumors of Chang'an, and then they discussed poetry and songs for a while.After all, the conversation between the two seemed endless, and Lu Yiqing, who was watching from the side, couldn't help being jealous.

Here Lu Yiqing looked at the woman who hooked up with her daughter-in-law jealously, while the mother-in-law of the Jiang family looked at her defensively.It's not that Lu Yiqing didn't notice it, and he was also bored, so in the end he could only lower his head and count the tea foam in the teacup in boredom.

The two talked for an unknown amount of time, and finally bid farewell to each other under the reminder of Jiang's wife.

Whether it was intentional or not, Lu Yiqing heard the Jiang family woman say to Aning: "Young madam, why waste so much time here, she's just a businesswoman, the old madam should wait."

Aning seemed displeased when he heard this, and reprimanded the woman in a low voice, and then turned to look at Shen Wangshu.

Shen Wangshu didn't know if he heard it, but when Lu Yiqing heard this, he felt panicked in his heart - because of her, Shen's family laughed at Shen Wangshu for disliking the poor and loving the rich, and because of her, even the servants of Shen Wangshu's old friends looked down on her. rise.

Lu Yiqing had never had any ambitions, and all he wanted was to protect himself, but at this moment, he also felt a fire in his heart.
