After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Whether in Shangjing City or Wuhe Village, funerals are usually held three days later.

But the Shen family has no relatives in Wuhe Village.

There are still people from the old lady's family, but even if we notify them now, they will be too late to come.

Therefore, Shen Jinyao discussed with housekeeper Sun and decided to hold the funeral in two days.

At dawn, Shen Zhi went to report the death to Xiang Hongxuan.

At that time, Xiang Hongxuan was leading the soldiers in training, and by the time he was no longer busy, it was already evening.

After Xiang Hongxuan finished his condolences, he did not leave.

Village chief Li saw that Xiang Hongxuan not only came to pay his respects, but also wore a mourning hat and followed the funeral procession.

He weighed it in his mind and it seemed that the relationship between the Shen family and General Xiang was really unusual.

Although Wuhe Village is under the jurisdiction of the county government, there is also the provincial government above it.

But they are all far away from Wuhe Village. If something really happens, it will be General Xiang who can ensure their safety.

It seems that the Shen family still needs to give them some face.

Not only Uncle Li, but the people in Wuhe Village also had a new understanding of the Shen family after experiencing the Shen family's funeral.

First, the Shen family has a special relationship with General Xiang, and second, the head of the Shen family has passed away, and it is unknown who will be the head of the family in the future.

After the funeral, everyone in the Shen family felt depressed.

But Shen Jinyao needs to do something more important.

That is the fate of the Zong brothers, the Meng brothers and others.

Shen Jinyao has been thinking about this question since she came to Wuhe Village.

Along the way, she first hired two brothers from the Chiyan Gang's Zong family to be bodyguards for the Shen family.

Their strength is obvious to everyone in the Shen family.

Selfishly, Shen Jinyao wanted them to stay.

After all, if a war really breaks out in the future, Wuhe Village will be the most dangerous place.

But getting them to stay is not an easy task.

Then there were the five brothers of the Meng family whom I met in Yanzhou.

The five brothers grew up in the mountains, so they are not only honest but also have their own strengths.

Not to mention Meng Da and Meng Er, Meng San has now learned acupuncture from Zhixin and Lanlan.

The meals cooked by Meng Si are praised by the whole family.

The clever little Meng Wu follows Wen Yi and Le Yao every day. Now he is better than Shen Jinyao in archery and martial arts.

The Meng brothers are the most likely to stay, firstly because they are close friends with Shen Jinyao.

The second reason is that they have nowhere to go when they return.

What Shen Jinyao has to consider is how to support them.

The same situation exists in Datian and Xiaotian.

Datian and Xiaotian, Shen Jinyao has already thought about their arrangements, but has not told them yet.

In addition to these people, there are also several brothers from the Ma family.

It was not until they arrived in Quzhou that Shen Jinyao learned that the relatives the Ma brothers wanted to seek refuge with were actually in the village next to Wuhe Village.

That was the Uncle Zhou they were looking for.

When the Shen family first arrived in Wuhe Village, the Ma brothers went to find Uncle Zhou.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Zhou had no intention of taking them in. He was just being polite and didn't even offer them a meal.

The five brothers were very angry and were about to say goodbye to Shen Jinyao.

The Shen family happened to be building a house, and later Mrs. Shen passed away, so they didn't leave.

Among all the people in the Shen family, only the Ma brothers know how to farm.

The first thing Shen Jinyao wanted to do in Wuhe Village was to develop agriculture.

All the Ma brothers are the ones she must keep no matter what.

Shen Jinyao still has some confidence in whether these people will stay or go. After all, they are the only ones who have room for security and development.

The Shen family is their best harbor.

Apart from these brothers, there are three people who are the hardest to keep.

That is Doctor Gao, Lanlan and Murong Wenyi.

Before the Shen family built the house, Murong Wenyi mentioned to Shen Jinyao that he wanted to leave.

The Shen family has been busy during this period, and Shen Jinyao has not had a detailed chat with him yet.

But her intuition was that Murong Wenyi would definitely leave.

He's just waiting for the right moment.

As for Doctor Gao and Lanlan, Shen Jinyao was not sure.

She hoped that Dr. Gao could stay, but she also respected his choice.

Even if the Jiuzhou Kingdom and the Qiang people fight in the future, Wen Yi and Doctor Gao will still be her good friends.

While thinking about these things, Shen Jinyao was planning for the future.

Even if she was not the head of the Shen family, she could do these things.

Shen Jinyao was writing these plans on the desk when Qiuju walked in.

"Miss, someone is looking for you."

Shen Jinyao asked: "Who is looking for me?"

Today was the seventh day after the old lady's death. No one in the Shen family was in good spirits, and it was impossible for anyone to come to her to talk to her at this time.

Qiuju said, "You'll know when you go there."

Shen Jinyao glared at Qiuju. No one joked anymore since the old lady left.

Qiuju also felt sorry for Shen Jinyao.

When the old lady was holding the funeral, Shen Jinyao was busy running around.

Apart from the things that a man must do, Shen Jinyao takes on all the responsibilities.

After the old lady's funeral, Shen Jinyao has been writing and drawing at the desk.

Qiuju and Dongmei tried to persuade her several times, but it was no use.

Shen Jinyao walked to the door and saw Xiang Hongxuan.

The last time they met was a few days ago at the old lady's funeral. Shen Jinyao was very busy.

The two of them barely exchanged a word.

She glared at Qiuju. Why keep General Xiang’s arrival a secret?

"Long time no see, sister."

Shen Jinyao looked behind Xiang Hongxuan and found that he was indeed an acquaintance.

"Master Kang, why are you here?"

It turned out that Xiang Hongxuan came with the owner of Kang Manor and his son Kang Cheng'an, whom he had met in Huzhou before.

"Why call me owner? Call me big brother!"

Shen Jinyao:?

She glanced at Kang Chengan who was smiling beside her. If she remembered correctly, she was only a few years older than Kang Chengan.

Master Kang is about the same age as his third uncle.

Last time she called him owner of the manor, but this time she is asked to call him big brother?

"Master Kang, what is this?"

When Master Kang heard this, he became unhappy and shouted, "Why call him Master Kang? He's your nephew."

Not only was Shen Jinyao confused, but Shen Maoshan and Second Madam Shen who followed out were also confused.

At this time, Xiang Hongxuan cleared his cough and said, "Ahem, this is my sworn brother, Brother Kang."

Shen Jinyao suddenly understood, but what did this have to do with her?

Xiang Hongxuan walked to Shen Jinyao's side and whispered, "He knew before that you were my fiancée."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Jinyao's puzzled eyes and continued, "I haven't had time to tell him about the engagement. He came here today and found out that you and the eldest lady of the Shen family are the same person."

Shen Jinyao blinked her eyes. Xiang Hongxuan rarely saw Shen Jinyao with such an ignorant expression.

I actually found it a little funny.

"Look at my brother and sister, they are a perfect match, standing together."

The Shen family was fine, but the villagers of Wuhe Village were the ones who were really furious.

The news spread quickly, and the news that Shen Jinyao was General Xiang's fiancée had reached the ears of all the villagers within a quarter of an hour.
