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

"Ali?"

When Shen Wensong heard her call him "second cousin", he was sure that the noble girl in front of him was really Shen Li.

"Ah."

Although Shen Li was smiling, the smile did not reach her eyes. She looked around and decided that this was not the place to reminisce about the past, so she pointed to the teahouse diagonally opposite.

"Let's go sit there and talk."

"it is good."

Lu Yunshu and Shen Nian didn't say anything and just followed them silently.

After sitting down and ordering tea and snacks, the four of them looked at each other in silence for a while.

Shen Li was the first to break the silence, "When did my second cousin come to the capital?"

Shen Wensong's expression was a little stiff just now, but now he is much more relaxed.

"I have just arrived a few days ago, and came to the capital to study."

Then she pointed to Lu Yunshu beside her and introduced, "This is my wife, Yunshu."

Shen Li looked at her, "Second cousin."

"Ali, are your uncle and aunt also in the capital?"

Shen Li thought about it for a while and nodded slightly, "Well, our family is temporarily living in Beijing."

Ever since Lu Yunshu met Shen Linnak, she had already seen the clothes and jewelry she was wearing. She had a very good eye and recognized that some of them were specially provided to the palace.

My husband's cousin can wear it, either she has a good family background or she has connections, but I don't know which one she is.

Shen Wenzhong asked nervously, "Can I visit them?"

"can."

After all, they can't just reject him when they meet him, right? Besides, they don't have any deep hatred with Shen Wensong, only his hatred is with his parents.

"Then wait here for a while, Ali. I'll go buy something and come back."

"it is good."

After taking them out, Lu Nian looked at Shen Li, "Sister A Li, is he really your cousin?"

Shen Li picked up the teacup, "Yeah, could there be fake ones?"

Lu Nian: "I don't think I've seen him before!"

"Well, we had already gone our separate ways by then."

"Oh, so that's it."

Lu Nian thought about what the two people were wearing. They were not too good, but not too bad either. It seemed that their family was quite well-off.

Lu Yunshu looked at her husband beside her and said softly, "Husband, your cousin is not what you said she was."

Shen Wensong nodded. Although he could not recognize the imperial items in the palace, he could see that the jewelry on Shen Li's head were all valuable items.

"Well, maybe my uncle's family has had an adventure now."

"then you……"

"Don't worry, my lady. I won't feel sorry for myself."

"it is good."

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Wensong hurried back with Lu Yunshu, and the four of them took a carriage to the general's mansion.

Ma Cheng walked in front and behind. Lu Yunshu watched the carriage finally drive into the street and gradually fell silent.

Finally, they stopped in front of the General Zhennan's Mansion. As soon as the carriage moved, a servant came forward carrying a horse stool.

"Miss, Miss Lu."

Shen Li originally wanted to jump down directly, but thinking that she would need this thing in the future, she simply stepped down.

"The carriage behind is my cousin's."

The servant understood what he said and immediately went forward to move the stool down.

After Shen Wensong and Lu Yunshu came down, they looked at the gold-embossed words "Zhennan General's Mansion" in front of them and were silent.

"Second cousin and second cousin's wife, I will explain it to you after we go in."

Shen Li led them into the mansion. Some of the servants and maids they met along the way called her Miss, and some called her Princess. The two people behind were confused.

As for Lu Nian, Shen Li had already sent her back. She knew that this was the Shen family's family affair, so she did not follow.

All the way to Linhui Courtyard, we heard a burst of talking, occasionally mixed with laughter and children's voices.

"Brother, come on inside too, let's go in."

Shen Li stepped into the courtyard and saw her family in the yard, and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm back."

"Ali, ..."

Shen Changshan looked up at his daughter, but saw a familiar person behind her.

"Wen, Wensong!"

The others also followed his gaze and looked over there, and indeed saw Shen Wensong.

Shen Wensong's eyes were moist. He took a few steps forward, his voice choked with sobs, "Uncle, Aunt!"

Shen Changshan also looked very excited and asked quickly, "Why are you here?"

Then he looked at his daughter beside him, "Ali, how did you meet your second cousin?"

"I saw it while browsing in a jewelry store."

Shen Li's words were concise and to the point, implying that it was a coincidence.

Shen Wensong nodded, "It's like this, I was shopping with my wife in a jewelry store and happened to meet Ah Li."

As he looked back, Lu Yun walked up to him comfortably, "Hello, uncle and aunt."

"Uncle, this is my wife, Yunshu."

Then he introduced everyone in the room to Lu Yunshu. Lu Yunshu recognized everyone one by one with a smile on his face without showing any shyness.

Lin Cuicui stepped forward and said with a smile, "Let's sit down and talk."

Shen Changshan: "Yes, yes, I was so excited that I forgot to ask you to sit down. Come on, let's sit down and talk."

Then Shen Changshan asked about what happened after they separated. After finding out, he sighed, but he did not regret separating, nor would he regret splitting up.

Shen Li, Shen Jingyuan and Xu Taohua just sat there and listened to them reminiscing about the past without interrupting.

After Shen Wensong finished speaking, he looked at Shen Changshan and said, "Uncle, what about you guys? Have you encountered any dangers on the road since you separated?"

Shen Changshan smiled and said, "Don't you know us yet? Your brothers and I are all rough people. We are fierce and ferocious. People will retreat when they see us."

Shen Changshan was neither telling the truth nor lying. With so many people fleeing the famine, it was impossible for them not to encounter danger. He just kept silent about it.

After listening to this, Shen Wensong nodded and did not ask any further questions. He understood that there was a rift between the two families after all.

Although the person who created the crack is no longer with us, a scar will remain after the wound heals, and there will always be a mark there.

"So that's it."

"Well, as for the general's mansion where we live now, alas, this is what the boss paid for with his life."

"You've heard about the war with the Tatars some time ago, right?"

Shen Wensong nodded. Since he had to take the imperial examination, he naturally could not miss these court affairs.

"Your eldest cousin joined the army and earned his current military position with his life."

Shen Wensong stood in awe, "Brother, you deserve our admiration."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Shen Changshan invited them to have lunch here.

They didn't talk about Shen Changfeng. Shen Wensong had already said that his father was still alive, but seeing that his uncle's family had no intention of asking, he didn't mention it again.

At this time, a servant ran in from outside the door, "Princess, Miss Su is here."

"Ahui is here?"

"Yes, Princess, Madam Su is here too."

Lin Cuicui stood up and said, "I guess she is here to attend your wedding, A-Li. Let's go and greet her."

Looking at Shen Wensong and Lu Yunshu, "Wensong, take your wife to sit here first, we will be back soon."

"it is good."

They were all female guests, so Shen Changshan did not go with them and stayed here to chat with Shen Wensong.

"Uncle, someone just called Ali a princess?"
