07 Breaking the bank

When it comes to the Shen family, it is easy to make people think of some obscure things, and Mrs. Lu just said it casually, and did not ask in detail.

At this time, a little girl came over and said that breakfast was ready. Due to Master Lu's illness, there were only Mrs. Tai and Lu Qichi, the second young master, in the family, so the table was placed in the second room.

Mrs. Lu was supported by the purple-clothed girl and walked over first, and then Shen Shuyi and Lu Qi got up later.

The Lu family's breakfast has always been simple, with porridge and side dishes, and there are flower rolls and steamed buns on a plate in the middle, which is similar to what he eats in the Red Courtyard. Large families pay attention to food and do not say anything, and a breakfast is so quiet that even the sound of adjusting the spoon and chopsticks is inaudible. The Shen family is also considered a big family, but Shen Shuyi is not like this when he usually eats.

After breakfast, Mrs. Lu wanted to rest and eat, and after a few words, let the two of them go first. As soon as he arrived outside the courtyard gate, Shen Shuyi couldn't wait to take a deep breath.

"Why do I feel more tired than yesterday after a day in the car?" He shook his head and sighed.

The two subordinates who held the umbrella when they came had already been sent down, and they didn't have to worry about anything.

"Every time you say that." Lu Qichi glanced at him and said.

Shen Shuyi rolled his eyes when he heard this and said, "I definitely don't say it every time. "The food he has eaten in Mrs. Lu's house is less than a hundred and ten meals, and it is impossible to go back and talk about it.

Lu Qichi walked outside the Lu Mansion with an umbrella, and his voice was as cold as the cold air of February.

"Fourteen years, without exception." He said.

Shen Shuyi was slightly stunned, fourteen years? Lu Xianren's words mean that he has been remembered for a long time, but it is impossible, he is only sixteen this year, fourteen years ago when he was two years old, Lu Qichi died at the age of three, and he didn't remember it at all.

"Do you remember what I said when I was two years old?" He questioned.

Lu Qichi paused, turned to look at him, hooked his lips and smiled lightly.

"My brother said that you always wanted to sit at the table and eat that day, and your mother couldn't coax you, and then cried all afternoon." His calm narration, at the end, gave the fatal blow: "Say 'don't' while crying." ”

This...... This, this, this is the black history of his childhood!

In the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, her mother took him to visit Mrs. Lu's house, and planned to stay for a meal at noon.

Her mother did coax him for a long time, he was stubborn when he was a child, and he didn't let him do it, and then his father, who was eating in the main hall, heard the noise, and looked at it in the past, and felt really embarrassed and conspicuous, not to mention that it was two slaps.

And then...... Shen Shuyi, who was only two years old, felt that he had been greatly wronged, cried for a whole afternoon, and finally fell asleep in Lin's arms after being too tired.

Lu Qichi had already walked outside the gate of the Lu family in front, and the passenger boat on the waterway had been prepared, so he put away his umbrella and boarded the boat, completely ignoring Shen Shuyi's vicious eyes.

"Lu Jihua, you come down, the master wants to fight with you!" Shen Shuyi stood on the stone steps and said through gritted teeth.

Lu Qichi in the boat had already sat down at the small table upright, without even looking at him.

"Linjiang Immortal's whole fish feast, don't eat it?"

“……”

This is a blatant threat...... Shen Shuyi felt that his non-existent momentum was a lot weaker, but as the old saying goes, a big husband can bend and stretch, no matter how he says, he can't stop eating!

"Of course you have to eat it." He said, "Not only to eat, but also to eat." After speaking, he strode onto the boat, collected his umbrella and sat down opposite Lu Qichi.

Shen Shuyi's cheeky Lu Qi saw it sooner or later, and poured him warm water with a calm expression.

"Let's go to Mr. Yang first." He said.

"Yang Zuochuan? Why don't you invite him to your house? Shen Shuyi asked, in Qu Yun, there is only one doctor who can be called by Mr. and surnamed Yang.

Lu Qichi lowered his eyes to look at the cup of warm water that was constantly shaking with the fluctuations of the boat, and occasionally a drop or two would splash out of it. The boat should not be too full.

"My father is just a minor illness, just take medicine." He whispered.

Shen Shuyi nodded, it was still far from lunch, so he knew that Lu Qichi must have something to do when he came out at this time.

The passenger boat traveled steadily for about a quarter of an hour, almost to the most lively waterway in Quyun, and there was a faint noise in front of it.

"Second young master, the front is blocked, do you want to take a detour?" He asked.

Shen Shuyi probed his brain and looked hard from the gap, there were indeed many ships blocked in front, and there were also many people on the shore and stone steps looking in that direction.

"What's wrong?" He wondered.

The person who supported the boat had already inquired, and replied directly: "It seems that an old man knocked off Young Master Zhou's money bag, and the old man was disrespectful and insulted Master Zhou who had just gone, Young Master Zhou was in a hurry, so he had a dispute." ”

Young Master Zhou? Zhou Jingchen...... Shen Shuyi was stunned, what a coincidence, he looked sideways at Lu Qichi, and he also looked thoughtful.

"And now? Still arguing? He asked again, "No, according to Zhou Jingchen's temper, I'm afraid it would have started a fight earlier, right?" ”

Shen Shuyi's mind already had the expression that Zhou Jingchen was eager to smash him with a knife every time they met, tsk, the dignified young master, he knows how to fight and kill all day long, no wonder he is not as popular as Lu Qichi.

Zhou Jingchen's temper rushed to the whole Qu Yun to know, and he was a little embarrassed to support the boat, and replied: "There shouldn't be one......

Shen Shuyi thought about it, if it really started, I am afraid it would have been solved long ago, and it would not have gathered so many people by now. Thinking about it, he looked back at Lu Qichi and asked for the ship's owner's opinion.

"Get off the boat." Lu Qi said lately.

Not far ahead is Yang Zuochuan's pharmacy, and it is better to go ashore and walk over a little faster, which is also in line with Shen Shuyi's desire to see the excitement.

"If you hear that, go and stop the boat." The sluggish mood that lasted all morning was swept away by this sentence, and Shen Shuyi smiled and urged the boat supporter, for fear that it would be too late to see the excitement.

Quyun's waterway is not wide, the boat stops quickly, the rain outside has stopped for some time, Shen Shuyi stepped on the stone steps and went ashore, Lu Qichi still walked slowly and slowly, and did not forget to tell his subordinates to go to Linjiang Immortal to pick them up at noon.

Here, Shen Shuyi has walked a long way, shuttling back and forth flexibly in the crowd, and after walking for a while, he can see Zhou Jingchen wearing a white filial piety suit, there is a small circle of open space around him, and there is a man in black sitting on the ground, which should be the old man who inquired about the boat.

Shen Shuyi leaned forward again, stopped when there were still two people left in front of him, and hid by the wall to eavesdrop for a while.

I just heard Zhou Jingchen's angry question: "Why are you insulting my father?" ”

The old man sitting on the ground was in tatters, like a beggar, but he had his back to Shen Shuyi, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"It's your dad and it's not my dad, why can't I say it?" The old man said angrily.

Old man Zhou's life can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, the old man's words immediately caused dissatisfaction among the people around him, and some people shouted: "You old man is unreasonable, Master Zhou is a good man, maybe you have drunk his family's porridge." ”

Everyone agreed, and the old man shook his head and slowly got up from the ground, stretching his waist.

"Huh, great good man? If it weren't for the advice given to him by the nobles, he would be almost the same as when he was young. He said, "I know a lot of things, don't question me casually", which is really annoying.

Not only was his father scolded, but even Zhou Jingchen, who was greeted by his grandfather, had a little red face, and his eyes looked back and forth a few times, presumably weighing what to do to beat this old man.

"Don't talk nonsense, what kind of person my father is, the entire Quyun people can testify." He said.

The old man shook his head, came to Zhou Jingchen's side one by one, and circled around him, looking at something as he turned.

"What are you looking at?" Zhou Jingchen said angrily, when had he ever been teased so frivolously.

The old man grinned, pointed at him, and said: "You little doll has a good life, and the evil consequences are all borne by Lao Tzu, and you can enjoy the good life of your life in vain." ”

Shen Shuyi, who listened to the corner of the wall, was surprised in his heart, this old man was not an ordinary person, and his ability was no worse than his father.

Zhou Jingchen over there finally couldn't suppress the fire, his father's death was already a big blow to him, how could he be in the first seven miles by a dirty old beggar pointing fingers and talking wildly, and immediately clenched his fist and waved it at the old man.

The old man smiled sheepishly, and when he saw the fist smashing it, he rolled on the spot unhurriedly and dodged.

"How can a young man be so angry?" He kept talking nonsense, "Little Lao'er, I have been your grandfather enough this year, I really don't know how to respect the elderly, your father's wife is unfaithful and unfilial, it's all his fault, and he deserves to die!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Jingchen was even more angry, and he waved his fist to fight, but he didn't expect that the old man was like a loach, sometimes rolling on the ground, sometimes holding his head and running around, but in short, he didn't ask him to hit it.

"Stop!" Zhou Jingchen shouted.

The old man ran round and round in this small clearing, shouting as he ran: "You are old and confused, don't you stand still and be beaten half to death by you?" ”

After shouting, he said, "Look at all the people who pass by!" The Zhou family is more unreasonable than the other, and the little old man helped him break his fortune and avoid disasters, and he still has to beat me up......"

Shen Shuyi, who was hiding behind people, laughed half to death, this week Jingchen is really a stupid baby, why don't you chase after him with so many people?

However, before he could finish laughing, suddenly a figure appeared in front of him, and a person in front of him fell down and smashed right in front of him.

Zhou Jingchen caught up in the corner of the wall and was caught off guard by the old man, and he stood dangerously, but he brought down two passers-by who were watching the excitement, and he just wanted to say sorry when he stood firm, but his eyes directly met Shen Shuyi, who was dressed in white.

Shen Shuyi felt bad when the two people in front of him were about to fall, but he didn't have time to hide, he was already seen by Zhou Jingchen, he still remembered what Lu Qichi said last night, and he was about to run away, but Zhou Jingchen grabbed his clothes and dragged him to the middle of the circle.

"Shen Hua? Why are you here? Zhou Jingchen had nowhere to vent his anger, his tone was extremely unkind, he looked at his clean white clothes and asked, "What about Lu Qichi?" He's definitely with you. ”

Shen Shuyi complained bitterly, take a good look at the excitement, why is he so unlucky!
