and leave

Lu Yiqing was tormented by Shen Wangshu once, and he never dared to mention leaving her to go to the northwest alone.She is obedient and compromising on the surface, but in fact she is flattered in her heart, after all, if it is not a last resort, she is actually reluctant to part with Shen Wangshu.

In the next few days, Lu Yiqing also became busy, and she and Shen Wangshu seemed to lose track of each other—in the beginning, Shen Wangshu was busy dealing with the relocation of Lu's business, so busy that he never touched the ground.Now that the affairs of the firm have been dealt with in a hurry, and the rest of the staff has been handed over to Lu Yiqing, Shen Wangshu is free at once.Instead, Lu Yiqing started to make arrangements for her goal.

Patriarch Lu also took time off with Shen Wangshu.After all, Lu Yiqing said beforehand that the people and money distributed to her will have nothing to do with the Lu family firm from now on, so the owner of the Lu family no longer interferes with her affairs, letting go quite completely and simply.

After being busy for seven or eight days, Lu Yiqing spilled all the hands of the sprinkler, and new turmoil broke out in the court.

In the evening of this day, the family of three gathered together for dinner again.Lu Yiqing was giving Shen Wangshu vegetables with affection, picked the fish and meat and then gave them to the other party. Suddenly Patriarch Lu said: "It's almost time, we should leave Chang'an."

The words came too suddenly, the half of the fish Lu Yiqing caught fell on the table with a "slap", and the thorns that had been picked for a long time were in vain.But at this time, she didn't care about any fish and meat anymore, she raised her head and asked her father: "Are you leaving now, have you set a date?"

Patriarch Lu raised his wine glass and took a sip, then quietly said: "Leave in the day after tomorrow."

Lu Yiqing was startled by his swift and decisive decision, and then panicked—she said she was going to the northwest, but it was easy to get out of her mouth. After hearing Patriarch Lu's worries, she also understood that the northwest is not so easy to go to. .Shen Wangshu also said to ask her to ask her father more, and then read travel notes and geography to learn more, but she is busy with other things these days, so she doesn't care about these at all.

At this moment, Lu Yiqing felt as if he was going to be sent directly to the examination room without reading the book, and he really didn't know what to do.She held her chopsticks and frowned subconsciously: "Is this too fast? I'm not ready for going to the northwest."

Today's world is not as good as it is in modern times. In modern times, transportation is convenient and materials are abundant. As long as you have money, everything will be fine.But these days, traveling depends on chariots and horses, and supplies are only available locally, and the northwest is a desolate place, so if you are not fully prepared, you will suffer.

Patriarch Lu glanced at her angrily when he heard the words, then glanced at Shen Wangshu, who was eating calmly, and explained: "The news I just inquired about today is that some officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Military Affairs have already been imprisoned. No one will pay attention to those of us who are insignificant. This is a great opportunity for us to escape, and we will be safe if we leave one day earlier, so we can't stay longer."

After hearing this, Lu Yiqing still felt too anxious, so someone who said that wind is rain: "But even if you have to leave, you have to be prepared."

Shen Wangshu silently picked up a piece of ribs for Lu Yiqing at this moment, and the person who was so nervous just now buried his head in eating, not forgetting to give his daughter-in-law a satisfied and flattering smile... The stupid look is almost blinding.

Patriarch Lu suddenly became worried about her again, looking at Lu Yiqing like this, he always felt that she would not grow up.Ke thought about it and sighed again, but still didn't say much, just said helplessly: "You, if everything is waiting for you to arrange, then the day lily is really cold."

Lu Yiqing raised her head with her bones in her mouth when she heard the words, and looked at her father: "So you have made all the arrangements, Dad?"

Patriarch Lu snorted, and glanced at Shen Wangshu again: "Don't look at me, just look at your wife. It's also because you were thick-skinned back then, so I beg Wangshu to be willing to worry about you, otherwise I'll see how flustered you are."

After Lu Yiqing heard it, she felt happy again, and her eyes narrowed from laughing.But after thinking about it, she became a little angry again, and complained to her father: "What's more, you knew that Wang Shu would help me, but you coaxed me to keep her. I made her angry, Also..." Before he finished speaking, the foot under the table was stepped on, so he consciously shut up.

Patriarch Lu couldn't see the little tricks of the two of them and could guess it all, but he didn't know what to do at the moment, so he took another sip from the wine glass: "What did I say? I didn't say anything, it's you who don't want your daughter-in-law to suffer , wanting to keep her in Jiangnan."

Lu Yiqing couldn't refute, especially when she sensed that the atmosphere around her was not right, she consciously ended the topic.Ignoring her father who was tearing things apart, she turned to ask Shen Wangshu: "Then Wangshu, are we ready to go to the northwest?"

Shen Wangshu had almost finished eating, and before putting down the bowl and chopsticks, he picked up another vegetable for Lu Yiqing.Lu Yiqing doesn't like food very much, she likes to eat meat, but after meeting Shen Wangshu's smiling eyes, she obediently ate the food.Then he consciously picked up another chopsticks of green vegetables and stuffed them into his mouth, pretending to appreciate: "I like eating green vegetables the most."

Patriarch Lu felt more and more that she was childish, and Shen Wangshu was also amused, and immediately replied: "Of course I'm ready, otherwise do you think I'm really idle these days? It's just about some things in the Northwest, you have to ask yourself Father asks."

What Shen Wangshu was talking about was some general knowledge about Northwest China. Although she had already consulted Patriarch Lu for advice on these matters, just because she knew it didn't mean that Lu Yiqing knew it too.And even if she could remind her from time to time, it would be better for Lu Yiqing to prepare early. Even if Lu Yiqing couldn't accept the difficult environment in the northwest, there was still room for repentance before leaving.

After hearing this, Lu Yiqing nodded obediently, and after the meal was over, she stayed to ask Patriarch Lu for advice.

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

After listening to Patriarch Lu's experience talk, Lu Yiqing did not give up the idea of ​​going to the northwest.Although the reality is indeed more difficult than imagined, the desolation of the northwest is desolate, and it is not a no-man's land.There are not only [-] garrisons there, but also trade routes leading to the Western Regions. Every year, many merchants risk their lives in the Gobi desert, just to grab more profits.

Where others can go, Lu Yiqing can go too consciously, not to mention that she has no plans to run into the dangerous desert.

However, Shen Wangshu and Patriarch Lu's reminders were also correct, so after careful consideration, she decided to take advantage of her last day in Chang'an to make more preparations—in other words, to buy, buy, buy.

The next day the weather was fine, Lu Yiqing checked the luggage, and wanted to drag Shen Wangshu to the Fangshi in Chang'an City.

When she saw a carriage when she was out, she suddenly remembered the thoughts she had when she went to Xiangguo Temple that day... The trip to the northwest was not about going to the outskirts of the city for a little trouble, and this trip went west, at most one-third of the waterway, and the rest All are land routes.If you take a car, if the road is not good and the car is not good, then it is purely suffering, even thinking about the bumps of the carriage, Yiqing feels his bones hurt.

If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. Thinking of this, Lu Yiqing simply gave up the idea of ​​going out.Instead, she asked someone to find a blacksmith, and with the money to clear the way, she worked hard all day to make several sets of springs and install them on the carriage, barely doing some shock absorption, which is better than nothing.

Sprinkle a few stones on the flat road, and then run over it with a spring-loaded carriage, but the ride is still bumpy.But except for Lu Yiqing, everyone else said that they are much better than before.

Lu Yiqing was not very satisfied, but when she thought about the departure tomorrow, she felt a little helpless. In the end, she could only mutter regretfully: "It's a pity that there is no rubber, so I can only lay more things in the carriage." But even if there is rubber, she I can't make tires in a day.

Shen Wangshu stayed by her side all day, and after hearing her whisper, he asked, "Ah Qing, what are you talking about?"

Only then did Lu Yiqing restrain his disappointment, and replied: "It's nothing, I'll just say a few words." After speaking, he pulled Shen Wangshu into the car: "Wang Shu, try this carriage first, if we take this carriage to go to the northwest , Is the road too hard?"

Shen Wangshu has never traveled far, but she herself has never experienced all the conveniences of modern society. The carriage she rides in has always been like that, but now with springs for shock absorption, it is much better than the carriage she used to ride in .Therefore, she didn't dislike it at all, but rather praised the carriage: "After you improved this carriage, it is already good. I am riding more smoothly than the princess's carriage."

She was talking about Princess Xiang's carriage. Although the relationship between the two sisters was not close, they still had some contacts before King Xiang revealed his intentions.After all, even in terms of the money that Lu's family sent to her door, Princess Xiang is more clear than many people in Shen's family.

After hearing this, Lu Yiqing first curled his lips in disgust, then thought of something, and regained his energy.

It was getting late at this time, but Lu Yiqing still took Shen Wangshu out of the house, and took her newly improved carriage to the largest carriage house in Chang'an.And before Shen Wangshu figured out her intentions, Lu Yiqing had already negotiated a deal - she sold the improvement method she just came up with, and she didn't get much from the sale, but she made a small profit .

After getting out of the car dealership, Lu Yiqing lifted his chin triumphantly: "Look, I earned back the money I spent on going to Xiangguo Temple that day!"

Seeing her proud appearance, Shen Wangshu's hands were itchy, and he really wanted to pluck his hair, but he still held back when he was out of the house.She squeezed Lu Yiqing's hand, and looked at her with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's Ah Qing who is the best, even if she leaves, she still doesn't forget to make a last fortune."

Lu Yiqing felt embarrassed again when she said that. After all, compared with the money that Lu's House usually handles, what she just earned is not even a drop in the bucket.He coughed lightly and said, "You say this is the best way. It's a pity that our family doesn't have a carriage dealer, and now we are in a hurry to leave Chang'an, otherwise we can make a lot of money just improving the carriages for those dignitaries."

Shen Wangshu doesn't doubt Lu Yiqing's ability, although she always forgets things, but every time she has a whimsical idea to make money.Patriarch Lu is also aware of this, so he has no burden to give money to others.

Lu Yiqing, who made money on the last day, was in a good mood. Seeing that it was getting late, she took Shen Wangshu for a walk around Chang'an City: "Let's take a look around, I don't know why next time I come back." What year is it?"
