Chapter 124: The Desolate Streets of Liangzhou
"What else do you know?"
After Pei Wenjing's heart was shocked, he looked at Shen Ru in a daze.
"I ...... What kind of eyes do you have, if my family were the holy eyeliner, they would never end up like this! ”
Shen Ru saw suspicion in Pei Wenjing's eyes, and she was so angry that she wanted to jump up and slap him.
All the patience is really because she knows that Pei Wenjing will be the regent in the future, she will really do it, and it is not that she can't beat it!
"The Shen family was exiled because my father was good friends with your father, if my family didn't have a good daughter like me, I don't know what would happen!"
Shen Ru said indignantly, recalling in his mind that in the original book, the original owner Shen Ru never woke up and died on the way to exile, and the Shen family did not wait for Pei Wenjing's final rescue.
Pei Wenjing did not have a guilty look on his face.
The Pei family has suffered too many casualties, and in addition to his warmth to his living family, he is almost indifferent to others.
Who is to blame for the exile of the Shen family, blame the current emperor, blame the faint monarch!
The two looked at each other, Shen Ru's anger and Pei Wenjing's questioning made the cold night seem even colder!
"Shen Ru, there must be help behind the Shen family, right, who is the man next to you in the Ganzhou auction house that day?"
Pei Wenjing opened his mouth and asked, "I think, the Shen family may not be so innocent!" ”
"Heh, hehe."
Shen Ru smiled speechlessly, "I, Shen Ru, have good popularity and know how to spend money, so I can naturally find out a lot of news." For your Pei family, I am also benevolent and righteous, Pei Wenjing, Prince Jing, please get out. ”
"If you don't leave, I'll go and tell your grandmother tomorrow that you're alive!"
"You dare!" Pei Wenjing immediately spoke, and his breath was suddenly suppressed.
"It's already my mercy that I didn't report you to the government, please don't take my kindness as my easy bully."
Shen Ru met Pei Wenjing's vicious eyes and glared back vigorously.
"Shen Ru, you...... Very good! ”
Pei Wenjing left, and after saying such a thing that he didn't know, he jumped on the wall and disappeared into the night.
Shen Ru was not lightly angered by Pei Wenjing, and he didn't want to take care of the Pei family's affairs.
The Shen family has no relatives in Liangzhou City, let alone New Year's greetings.
Everyone was simply drinking tea and chatting in the yard with nothing to do.
"You say you're going to do hard labor, what are you doing during the New Year?"
Qian opened his mouth quietly, looking at that expression, he thought of Shen Tong.
"Can do hard labor, at least take care of food and housing, so many people, if you really ignore it, you can't go out of Liangzhou City, what do you think, what do they eat and where do they live?"
Shen Ru said, the words are not rough.
"Shen Ru, have you thought about it, what are we going to do in the future?"
Shen Ping asked, "You can't sit and eat empty!" ”
"I haven't thought about it yet, I haven't seen the New Year in Liangzhou City, take your time, you're not in a hurry anyway."
Shen Ru replied that he wanted to dry salt and wash salt, and he would wait for the facilities of the North Courtyard to be completed.
Shen Ping received the New Year's money of fifty taels of silver tickets, and was really a little surprised.
On the way to exile, she was almost penniless, and now she suddenly saw a silver ticket of fifty taels, and she felt that it was a huge amount of money.
The Shen family is now ...... How much money is there?
Shen Ping was a little curious.
"That's it...... When I'm idle, my heart is always empty. ”
"Isn't it enough to endure hardships on the road to exile, eat and drink well and sleep well these days, and make up for all the previous deficits?"
Shen Ru asked, "I can't see it, you are still working hard?" ”
"I'm not!"
Shen Ping glanced at Shen Ru, this speech is really not good.
"You say that this Liangzhou, is there any face fat for sale, Feng'er's face was chapped before, and now it is not better."
Qian also spoke, "It's this New Year, I'm afraid there are no shops open in Liangzhou City." ”
"If you want to know so, let's go out and take a look."
Shen Ru said, the home is indeed boring, it is better to go out and feel the New Year's flavor of Liangzhou City!
"Sister, we're going too!"
Shen Xuan and Shen Nian's eyes suddenly lit up, and they stood up busily.
"That'...... Go around? Shen Ru looked at Mother Shen and Aunt Lian.
"Go ahead, your father still wants to choose a sunny room as a study."
Shen's mother said, "Your aunt and I will accompany your father to tidy up things." ”
"Okay, second aunt, what about you?"
"You take Ping'er and Feng'er out, I still have some needlework to do."
Qian felt that at his age, he couldn't play with young people.
Soon, Shen Ru went out with three children like a child.
Cui Xi is more familiar with Liangzhou City, so she is naturally accompanied, Shen Ping watched her brother cling to Shen Ru's younger brother, pouted, but didn't say anything.
Liangzhou City on the first day of the Lunar New Year is really desolate!
There is wind and sand blowing the fallen leaves on the street, and the shops that are open on weekdays are really closed at this time.
After walking all the way, I saw a teahouse still open.
"This street is really lonely!"
Resting in the teahouse, Shen Ru sighed with emotion: "This Liangzhou is really barren!" ”
"The girl is a foreigner, Liangzhou, can it be called Liangzhou if it is not desolate?"
The shopkeeper of the teahouse is a half-old man, and his head is gray.
"But I heard my grandfather say that when he was young, in Liangzhou City, there were people with all kinds of hair walking, and there were many people selling things on the street."
"Uncle, we heard that Liangzhou Thorn Shi is young and promising, and in the early years, Liangzhou seemed to be even worse."
Shen Ru deliberately said that Xiao Wuyan didn't tell her about the current situation in Liangzhou.
"That is, there were a lot of robberies and robberies on the streets in the past, but after Lord Assassin Shi took office, he vigorously sorted it out, but it made the security of Liangzhou City better."
The shopkeeper said, "I heard that Lord Xiao still wants to dig a river to open water, but it rarely rains in Liangzhou, and the land is too dry, and the villagers can only grow cotton, not rice!" ”
"Dig the river, dig which river?"
Shen Ru was stunned, Ganzhou and Suzhou, there is no shortage of water, there is a river from the snow mountain passing by, could it be that Xiao Wuyan wants to lead the snow water?
"It's the snow water of the holy mountain, there used to be a river, but after the wind and sand blew for a long time, the river was buried."
"In the past, the fruits of our Liangzhou were big and sweet, and the rice in the field grew well."
The old shopkeeper was also a talker, and someone happened to come over to talk to him, and he suddenly opened the chatterbox.
Therefore, the decline of Liangzhou is due to the lack of rain and lack of water?
If the wind and sand are strong, then plant trees, but unfortunately this is not an overnight thing.
"Shopkeeper, there is grassland over there in Liangzhou, it's a large area of grassland!"
"Yes, but it is also decreasing year by year, or the grassland outside the city is the most fertile, but it is a pity that the people of Fanbang in the Western Regions are too barbaric, if they find that the people of Liangzhou are grazing on the grassland, they will snatch the livestock at the least, and the people will be gone."
Therefore, Xiao Wuyan wanted to snatch the meadow over.
"But I heard that the army of Liangzhou City has 100,000, and we have so many people, are we still afraid of Fanbang in the Western Regions?"
"One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand troops eat and drink, and they don't fight, it's really ...... Tut-tut......"
The old shopkeeper shook his head, "A few guest officers, don't listen to Lao Er's nonsense, if this word is passed on, it will lose its head." ”
"No, no, they're all children!"
Shen Ru smiled and said, 100,000 troops, usually fine, it's quite a waste!
