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

Shen Jinyao glanced at Shen Zhizheng, and Shen Zhizheng knew what Shen Jinyao meant.

He said, "Mom, I was not able to bring Zhiyong back when I left."

The master glared at Shen Zhizheng and scolded him, "Why did you go to see him if you didn't bring him back?"

The eldest lady also said: "Yes, then why did you bring Jin Yao with you? I thought Jin Yao could bring Zhiyong back, but it turned out to be in vain."

"It makes us happy in vain."

Shen Jinyao understood what was said. She guessed that when Shen Zhi was about to go to the military camp, the eldest lady and the eldest master thought they could bring him back.

She was blamed along with everyone else.

Shen Jinyao felt that if she wasn't here, Shen Zhizheng would probably be talked to until dark.

Shen Jinyao first smiled at the eldest lady and the eldest master, then said, "Uncle, aunt, don't be angry for now."

"Listen, I'll tell you two in detail."

The eldest lady and the eldest master just sat there and listened to Shen Jinyao talk about what happened today.

Shen Jinyao said, "Joining the army is no joke, and you can't just come and go as you please. Besides, you all know General Xiang's temper."

"Originally, our family had no relatives or friends in Wuhe Village. General Xiang is also an old friend of the Shen family. If this incident makes General Xiang dissatisfied with Zhiyong..."

"Then the loss will outweigh the gain."

As soon as Shen Jinyao finished speaking, the eldest master and the eldest mistress immediately fell silent.

The two of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

They were so busy being angry with Shen Zhiyong that they forgot about this.

Shen Zhi was watching on the side in amazement. He had expressed the meaning of these words, but his father and mother's reactions were not the same.

Seeing that the two had finally calmed down, Shen Jinyao continued, "Besides, Zhiyong will be accompanying the general on a mission tomorrow. He has already gained the general's attention."

Shen Zhizheng: Huh? When did you say that?

Master: "Are you telling the truth?"

Madam: "What mission?"

Shen Jinyao: "I don't know either, but it's very important. Maybe I can become a captain after I come back, which is good."

Shen Jinyao looked at the eldest master and said, "Uncle, our family was exiled. If we wait for the emperor to show mercy, I wonder when our sons will be able to take part in the imperial examinations."

“Even if that day comes, we don’t know how old it will be.”

"Instead of that, if Zhiyong really achieves great things and brings honor to the family, that would also be the Shen family's comeback, wouldn't it?"

The master glanced at Shen Jinyao and said nothing.

"Besides, Uncle, haven't you seen how busy my father is recently? Wuhe Village is on the frontier, and the news is cut off."

"But the emperor did not prevent the Shen family from writing letters to their old friends in Shangjing City."

The master's face turned serious. "What do you mean?"

Shen Jinyao nodded, "Uncle is a scholar, so he naturally understands what I mean.

Shen Jinyao didn't say anything else, but just waited quietly.

The eldest lady seemed to have reacted, but she still felt a little distressed and worried when she thought that her son might be in danger.

The eldest lady said hesitantly, "You...Jin'er...can you let General Xiang take care of you..."

The master scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The eldest lady felt a little aggrieved and quietly defended herself, "After all, before..."

The eldest master: "Before saying anything, there is only now."

The eldest lady closed her mouth, realizing she had broken her promise.

The master glanced at the silent Shen Jinyao and finally sighed.

"Well, all right. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Jin'er, you can go back first."

Shen Jinyao stood up and said, "Uncle and aunt, don't be angry. I've made an agreement with Zhiyong that I'll come back to see you when he comes back."

Shen Jinyao said this to the eldest lady. A mother worries about her son even when he is far away. Even though Shen Zhiyong is a general now, the eldest lady will still be worried.

After Shen Jinyao left, the eldest lady looked at the eldest master sitting alone at the table.

She hadn't seen this scene for a long time.

The last time was when I first arrived in Wuhe Village.

The eldest lady left very tactfully. At this time, the eldest master took out paper and pen to write a letter.

Shen Maoshan has been acting mysterious lately, and no one knows what he is busy with.

But he knew that as long as Shen Maoshan was busy, it must be related to the future of the Shen family.

Shen Jinyao was right. Wuhe Village was poor and isolated. Had the situation outside changed?

Before dawn the next day, Xiang Hongxuan set out with 5,000 soldiers.

All these people set out on horseback. If they were quick, they could reach Shangjing City in a month.

Except Xiang Hongxuan, no one knew what they were going to Shangjing City for.

It wasn't until we set off that we realized so many people would be going.

After all, it was not the day of going to war or returning in triumph. If a general returned to the city with 5,000 men, wouldn't that mean he was planning a rebellion?

The soldiers then knew that this was because of the emperor's urgent summons.

Could something have happened in Shangjing City?

There are Jinyiwei in Shangjing City, and it is heavily guarded. What kind of thing requires the generals from the frontier to return to Shangjing with such a large force?

No one knows, and no one dares to ask.

Even the deputy general Li Fei didn't know.

When they set out early in the morning, Xiang Hongxuan saw Shen Zhiyong in the team.

However, Xiang Hongxuan didn't say anything in the end. He just didn't know if this kid did it on purpose.

This time I returned to Shangjing City because of the emperor's urgent summons.

The content was not very clear, it only said to bring 5,000 soldiers and wait in a hidden place outside Shangjing City.

Xiang Hongxuan received the letter yesterday and left as soon as possible today.

If you travel day and night and run fast, it will take at least 20 days to get there.

Xiang Hongxuan rode his warhorse in the front, followed by a long team.

When passing by Wuhe Village, it even caused panic among the villagers of Wuhe Village.

They ran out one by one to see what was going on.

As a result, Xiang Hongxuan was seen leaving for the north with a large group of soldiers.

But what they didn't see was a man who looked like a soldier who set out from Wuhe Village.

No one in the Shen family noticed that Shen Jinyao, who always got up early, did not get up to watch the fun.

Shen Zhiyong rode his horse at the end of the team, so no one knew that when the team passed Wuhe Village, there was an extra soldier and a horse in the team.

Shen Zhiyong glanced at the soldier following him.

The clothes that the soldier was wearing were the ones he gave to Shen Jinyao yesterday.

"Sister, you're really brave. Didn't you say you were just taking this dress back to show it to Meng Wu and the others?"

Shen Jinyao was riding a horse wearing a soldier's clothes and said viciously: "Shut up, I think your clothes are too big."

I'm obviously a few years younger than her, so why are my clothes so big?
