Get the golden finger at the beginning: Enjoy the journey of escaping from the famine

Shen Changshan: "Ajing, do you want to drink some wine?"

Lu Jing: "Thank you, uncle."

If they wanted to drink, they would eat slower. After Shen Li and the others finished eating, they sat aside to drink tea.

"Sister Ali, does the prince treat you well?"

Shen Li looked at her. The girl's eyes were filled with some worry. She chuckled and said, "Don't you know how capable your sister A Li is? Who can bully me?"

Lu Nian also smiled faintly, feeling a little embarrassed, as if her question was trying to provoke them.

"By the way, Sister Ali, my brother might also be getting married."

Her tone was somewhat melancholy, somewhat happy, and somewhat confused.

"This is a good thing. Anian will have a sister-in-law in the future. Aren't you happy?"

Lu Nian shook his head, "No, it's just that I find it a little difficult to get along with."

"Where is that girl from?"

"I'm from Dingzhou, and now I live in the capital. There's an official in my family, and he's currently a fourth-rank official."

Shen Li raised her eyebrows slightly. Perhaps this was the reason why Lu Nian was worried. He was worried that the young lady from the official family would look down on the merchant family?

"You have to have confidence in your elder brother. He is handsome and has a lot of wealth. He won't have to worry about finding a wife."

He reached out and pinched the baby fat on her cheek, "You don't have to worry about not having a sister-in-law."

Lu Nian smiled and said, "Sister, you are so nice."

She often wondered if she hadn't met Sister Ali, she might not be here now.

Lu Jing drank some wine, and Shen Changshan originally wanted to keep him in the mansion to rest for a while, but he said he had something urgent and took Lu Nian away.

Since they arrived in the capital, Lu Nian often came to the mansion to play. As for Lu Jing, he might be busy with business and didn't come here very often.

On the way to the capital, a carriage was shaking. Su Zihui opened the curtains to take a look at the scenery outside and asked her mother:

"Mother, isn't it closer to take a boat? Taking a carriage is too much trouble."

Mother Su glanced at her anxious daughter and asked, "Why are you so anxious?"

Su Zhihui took her arm and said, "Isn't it that Ah Li is getting married soon?"

Su Zhi reached out and tapped her forehead, "I see that you are in Cao's camp but your heart is with Han."

Su Zhihui blushed at her gaze and retorted, "No way, mother, don't wrongly accuse me."

Su's mother shook her head. This girl now shows almost everything on her face. It is unclear whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

"Mom, have you prepared the house we are going to live in when we return to Beijing this time?"

They did not plan to stay in the Su Mansion this time when they returned. The reason was obvious: neither side would be happy if they lived there.

"Yes, I have asked someone to pack it up. Come with me to visit your grandparents in the early morning."

Su Zhihui looked at her cautiously, "Mom, what if grandparents don't agree with us living outside?"

"Then we can only leave Ah Hui in the Su Mansion."

Su Zhihui: ...

"Mom, you are serious."

"Well, your grandparents definitely don't want me to live with them. If they asked to keep me, it must be because of Ali."

Su Zhihui held her chin with her hand and sighed deeply. To be fair, her grandparents were very good to her and her elder brother, but what puzzled them was why they were so rude to their mother.

"Don't worry, Hui. It's been 20 years. We're used to it. So you and your brother shouldn't worry about it."

"Well, I see."

How can I not be entangled if I don’t want to?

……

At the city gate, a fairly spacious carriage drove in. Shen Wensong lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the bustling street scene outside, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

Although he is not very old, he has experienced a lot and his eyes look a little weathered.

Lu Yunshu sat next to him, looking at his depressed look, and gently squeezed his hand.

"Husband."

Shen Wensong came back to his senses and looked at his gentle wife beside him, "Yunshu, I'm fine."

Just as the car was passing a busy street, he suddenly saw a familiar figure. His eyes fixed on him, but when he went to look for him the next time, he could no longer see the figure.

Shen Qian'an had a day off today and was planning to go back to the general's mansion. When he passed by a bookstore, he went in and bought a few books. Shen Wensong saw that the familiar figure was him.

Seeing this, the coachman hurriedly stopped the carriage. Lu Jingshu hurriedly got out of the carriage and looked Shen Wensong up and down.

"Husband, are you hurt?"

Shen Wensong held her shoulders and stopped her movements, "My wife, I'm fine, don't worry."

With a bit of annoyance on his face, Lu Yunshu turned around and got on the carriage, and Shen Wensong hurriedly followed him.

"How could my husband jump out of the carriage like that? What if he gets hurt?"

Shen Wensong held her hand and said, "My dear, I was reckless. Don't be angry."

Lu Yunshu's expression eased a lot, and she continued, "No matter what emergency situation occurs, my husband must never jump off the carriage again next time."

"it is good."

"Why did my husband jump off the carriage just now?"

Shen Wensong looked at the scenery outside the window, his tone a little vague, "I seemed to see my family just now."

Lu Yunshu frowned, "My husband has a family, so it's just my father-in-law, right?"

"No, they are my cousin's brothers and sisters. I just saw one of their figures look a bit like me, so I jumped off the carriage."

Lu Yunshu nodded, "It's not impossible, but the capital is too big, it's very difficult to find someone."

Shen Wensong: “I know.”

Shen Li hasn't been out of town for fun recently. She would go to the Jingnan Palace from time to time, or go to the street with Lu Nian to buy some things.

Pei Yu seemed to be extremely busy during the period before the marriage. He usually came to see Shen Li at night, and of course he definitely did not come in through the front door.

On this day, Shen Li and Lu Nian went to the street to buy jewelry together. It was less than ten days before their wedding.

"Sister Ali, I want to come and play with you more often recently. Otherwise, after you get married, I won't have time to come and play with you."

The key point is that she doesn't want to go to Prince Jingnan's Mansion. Prince Jingnan's face is so scary.

Seeing her like that, how could Shen Li not know what she was thinking?

"It doesn't matter. If you come to the palace to see me, I can just let you in through the concierge."

"Hehe, Sister Ali treats me so well."

After chatting, we started looking at jewelry. The prices in this store are relatively high, so there are not many customers in the store, basically young ladies or ladies from wealthy families.

"Yunshu, look at this hairpin, it suits you very well."

Shen Wensong held a hairpin inlaid with amethyst in his hand, pointed it at Lu Yunshu's hair, and said with a smile.

Suddenly, his sharp ears caught the four words "Sister Ali". Looking over there, he saw Shen Li, who seemed familiar yet unfamiliar.

Shen Li noticed this line of sight and looked over, her lips curled up slightly, "Second cousin, long time no see."
