In the Chinese New Year's Eve, Shen Ru's family began to work in the morning, and in the afternoon, a altar was set up in the courtyard to prepare to worship the ancestors.

In the direction of the capital, Shen Yan stood in front, with Shen Nian in his left hand and Shen Ru in his right hand.

Behind Shen Yan, Shen's mother took Shen Xuan, and Qian took her son Shen Feng; Shen Ping was at the end.

Shen Yan had words in his mouth and said the sacrificial text.

"Father is above, the unfilial son Shen Yan confessed to you again, and the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion ended in the hands of the unfilial son."

Shen Yan said, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing his head heavily.

Everyone else also knelt down and kowtowed, in order to tell the ancestors that in the spirit of the sky, today is different from the past, there is no Anguo Marquis Mansion in the world, only the Shen family!

After the memorial service was completed, Shen Ru looked at the loss on Shen's father's face, and was about to comfort him when he heard a knock on the door.

Xiao Wuyan, who came uninvited, walked in with the guard Lu Yi, under the leadership of Cui Xi.

And it seems that there is a prejudice against the current residence of the Shen family, is it appropriate for a wanderer to live in such a mansion?

"I'm afraid I'm going to disturb you when I came today."

On the bright side, Xiao Wuyan still said politely, "A little caution." ”

As he spoke, Lu Yi behind him handed over something wrapped in oiled paper and tied with a string.

Shen Ru smelled the smell of bacon, this thorn Shi came to visit, and the gift he gave was quite simple!

"Sinners have seen Lord Thorn."

Shen Yan said to Xiao Wuyan.

"In the past, Shen Ru had a life-saving grace for me, and today I came here only for daily contacts, and Shen Gong didn't have to be polite."

Xiao Wuyan said, looking at Shen Ru.

"Does Lord Xiao have something to talk to me about?" Shen Ru asked bluntly, "Why don't I take you around the house?" ”

Shen Ru's directness shocked the rest of the family, no matter what, this Lord Thorn Shi is also a foreign man!

"That's exactly what I mean." Xiao Wuyan actually responded.

"Aru!" Mother Shen couldn't help but call Shen Ru's name.

"It's okay, daddy, you guys go and get busy, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, isn't there still a lot of things to be busy?"

Shen Ru smiled lightly and said, "Lord Xiao, please come here!" ”

Walking on the bluestone pavement, Xiao Wuyan looked at the red lanterns hanging around him again, as well as the window grilles pasted on the windows.

"You have a big heart, and you have been assigned to Liangzhou, and you are still doing the same as before."

In Xiao Wuyan's words, there was no joy or anger.

"The important thing is to be happy."

Shen Ru replied: "Lord Xiao, this life is for enjoyment, not for daily hardship. What's wrong with Liangzhou, the days still have to be taken by! ”

"You can think about it, Shen Ru, you live a rich life, but have you ever seen the people of Liangzhou and what kind of life they live?"

Xiao Wuyan said with a cold face, "I hate arrogance the most in my life, do you know? ”

"You hate the rich!"

Shen Ru frowned and looked at Xiao Wuyan, he looked like a human, but this psychology was a little perverted!

Looked at by Shen Ru's disgusted eyes, Xiao Wuyan's face was corrected.

"What about us, we don't steal or rob, although it is said that our ancestors accumulate virtue, but our ancestors bless future generations, which is understandable!"

Shen Ru defended herself: "I respect everyone's lifestyle, but it doesn't mean that I like to live a twisted life." What's wrong with the exiles, it is our own ability to protect our family property! ”

Xiao Wuyan couldn't find fault with Shen Ru's words.

"If you are in your position, you will seek your job!"

Xiao Wuyan said: "Coming here today, I also want to find out with you, in addition to refining fine salt, what else can you do?" ”

"A fine salt is not enough for you! Lord Xiao, you don't really want me to go to the Western Regions! ”

Shen Ru joked: "The Yan family next door, aren't you a veteran here, why don't you let the experienced Yan family do this?" ”

"You know a lot, the ancestors of the Yan family are the ones who went to the Western Regions, but this is their family secret, and it is impossible to force the people to do what they don't want to do."

"Then you can force me?"

Shen Ru immediately asked, "Oh, yes, exiles are not normal people, right?" ”

"It's you who want to be protected by the government, so you have to do something."

Xiao Wuyan emphasized, "Although the exiles can be regarded as free after reaching the realm, they should also be done with hard labor. ”

"I have read the law of Daduan, and the hard labor is also to allow the exiles to bring benefits to this penal colony, since I promised you, I will naturally do it, but things must be done one by one, and I can't be in a hurry."

"Wait a few years, you take me to see the situation in Liangzhou, how the fields are, and I'll make plans again."

Shen Ru said slowly, to get Liangzhou out of poverty, it is not an immediate thing, Xiao Wuyan has been doing it for so many years without success!

"How much power do you have?"

Xiao Wuyan looked at Shen Ru and asked tentatively.

"Ha, I don't know!"

Shen Ru replied bluntly: "I said that I can steal the sky and change the day, do you believe it?" ”

"Do things down-to-earth, take your time, people are on your territory, and you can't run away!"

Xiao Wuyan listened to this, and felt that there was something else in his heart.

looked down at Shen Ru, her expression was light, her eyes were moist and shiny, and her body had a soothing breath.

If he hadn't seen Shen Ru kill the enemy with his own eyes, no matter how Xiao Wuyan looked at it, he would have felt that Shen Ru was like a demure Houmen's daughter.

"Oh, by the way, last night, a killer went to assassinate that little boy of the Pei family, did anyone tell you about this?"

Shen Ru suddenly mentioned the Pei family.

Xiao Wuyan was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

"No one told me."

"You Liangzhou, there are many official ranks, and in general, this matter will not be resolved, poor Pei family, you can only watch out day and night."

Shen Ruyi said pointedly.

Xiao Wuyan's situation is indeed not very good, and Zhao Gongming, the chief soldier of the border guard, does not accept him as a scholar to manage Liangzhou; The prefect has been entrenched in Liangzhou for many years, and he is a little disobedient to him. Fortunately, Da Si Nong and other officials are reliable.

"The livelihood of the Pei family...... You won't care! ”

"How is it possible, do I seem to be such a zealous person?"

Shen Ru asked rhetorically: "It's just that the Pei family left such a child, and I can't bear it." ”

Xiao Wuyan felt that he should do something, even if the Jing Wangfu rebelled, what was the fault of a child?

"I know about it."

Walking to the north courtyard, Shen Ru did not take Xiao Wuyan in.

"This house is big, this north courtyard is empty, there is nothing to see."

She said casually, and walked away with Xiao Wuyan.

Xiao Wuyan didn't care, but still reminded: "The mansion next door to the Yan family is a big tree, and your identity will bring trouble sooner or later." ”

"Yes, Yan Shaoqing has a life, can he get the protection of the Yan family?"

"And Lord Xiao's, after all, it's also a life!"

“……”

Xiao Wuyan looked at Shen Ru with some speechlessness.

"Are you saving people just to repay others?"

"No, I've actually saved a lot of people along the way, but the two of you are the most important."

Shen Ru smiled: "Casting nets to catch fish, you will eventually get something, right?" ”
