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

Mrs. Shen held the cleaned fish in one hand and the seasoning in the other.

She seemed to have found herself again at the Rong family, where her favorite thing to do was to study food.

"Tingyao, turn down the heat."

Shen Tingyao said "oh" unhappily.

If she had known this, she would not have lit the fire.

She heard voices coming from Shen Jinyao, Shen Zhiyong and others not far away.

They chattered as if they were identifying a map.

Aunt Yun, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch this anymore. She said distressedly, "Ting'er, Auntie, come here."

Just as Shen Tingyao was about to agree, she saw Mrs. Shen's meticulous face.

She refused and said, "No need, Auntie, just take a rest after you are done with your work."

Then she turned around and shouted, "Shen Zhixue, come here!"

The third brother, Shen Zhixue, looked up and wondered what his elder sister was going to do.

Shen Zhixue: "What's wrong, sister?"

Shen Tingyao said: "Sister is tired, you come and watch the fire."

Shen Zhixue nodded helplessly.

Shen Zhiyong was a little unhappy.

"Second sister, you're tired just watching the fire? Zhixue is also tired from going fishing with us. We're all tired, so who's going to do it?"

Shen Tingyao was unconvinced: "I'm saying, Shen Zhiyong, are you pretending to be the boss when Big Brother is not around?"

Then she said sarcastically, "Ah, I get it. Now I have Big Sister's support. I still remember you calling Big Sister a sickly person."

Shen Zhiyong's face turned red in an instant.

He looked at Shen Jinyao beside him and whispered, "Sister, that's not what I meant."

Shen Jinyao shook her head and said, "It's okay. My eldest sister was indeed a sickly person before."

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, and everyone around her heard it, including Shen Tingyao.

Shen Jinyao said loudly: "As the saying goes, there is no order without rules. There is something I want to make clear to everyone..."

"Humph, you're using chicken feathers as a token of authority."

Shen Jinyao knew who said it without having to think.

Those who appear to be dissatisfied with her include the eldest lady, Aunt Yun, and Shen Tingyao.

There are still many people who are dissatisfied privately.

It's just that they might think of her as an errand runner or a team leader.

No one knows what he really thinks of her in his heart.

But she knew that as the head of the family, she was definitely not convinced.

She doesn't need to prove herself, and she is not a strong person.

But if someone harms her interests and affects others, she will never let that person go.

She said with a cold face: "Whether or not to be a token of authority is another matter, but as a new official, I must start with the first three fires."

"We will leave Shangzhou from now on, and other states will be more dangerous than Shangzhou. So, let's make three rules."

"First, we can't argue within the team."

"Second, you can't do anything that harms the team."

"Third, the more you work, the more you earn. No work, no gain. Anyone who slacks off will have nothing to eat."

"If you violate any of the above, I can find a carriage and drop you off. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

"clear."

"understand……"

Everyone responded sparsely.

But it didn't matter, as many people were frightened by Shen Jinyao.

No one expected that Miss Shen, who had been bedridden, was actually quite intimidating.

Shen Jinyao glanced at Old Madam Shen and saw her nod to her.

"Okay, the fish is ready, come and eat it."

At this time, Mrs. Shen interrupted at the right time, easing the tense atmosphere.

This is equivalent to giving a slap in the face and then giving a sweet date.

Everyone was a little hungry and wanted to rush in.

But Shen Jinyao picked up the spoon and prepared to share the fish with everyone.

No one had any bowls or chopsticks, so they all used the wide leaves that Qiuyan and the others had found to hold the fish.

As for chopsticks, if you want to use them, just use a thin branch. If you don’t want to use them, just use your hands.

Several children went fishing together, and each of them got a fish head.

As for the remaining fish soup, everyone agreed to share it with the elderly and children.

After eating the fish soup, everyone shared the last few fruits.

Overall, it was the best meal I had since leaving the city.

What's more, they caught the fish themselves.

After dinner, Shen Jinyao said, "Pack up and get going now."

The eldest lady looked at the sun and said, "How about we take a rest before we go?"

Shen Tingyao nodded and said, "Yes, it would be nice to take a nap in the carriage."

Mrs. Shen was about to speak when she saw this, but she heard Shen Jinyao's cold voice.

"Then you two stay here, we're going into town."

The eldest lady rolled up her sleeves and wanted to take out the money, but her son Shen Zhiyong drove her into the carriage.

"Mother, please leave quickly, or I will really abandon you."

The eldest lady whispered, "She dares?"

When Shen Tingyao saw her aunt-in-law get on the carriage, she also got on the carriage dejectedly.

Shen Jinyao: "Run faster, we need to get into the city quickly."

The carriage started running and arrived at the county town in less than an hour.

The carriage stopped outside the county town.

Shen Jinyao said to everyone: "Zhang Er, Zhiyong, Zhixue, Zhixin, the three of you come in with me, the rest of you wait for us outside."

Shen Tingyao was not happy, "I want to go too."

Shen Leyao also shook her head, "Sister, I want to go too."

"Tingyao, if you want to go, go change into men's clothes. Leyao and Zhiye, you two are still young, and I'm afraid you'll be separated."

After all, she didn't know what the situation was like in this unfamiliar county town.

When Shen Tingyao heard that she was asked to change into men's clothes, she was naturally unwilling.

"Why do I have to change into men's clothes when I go to the city? I won't change, I'm going."

Shen Jinyao could sense how much Shen Tingyao didn't want to change into men's clothes, and her voice of objection was so loud that everyone could hear it.

At this time, Aunt Yun spoke up, "Old Madam, it's not that our Tingyao can't endure hardship, she just doesn't want to wear that man's clothes. Is that wrong? Is she not allowed to enter the city because of this?"

Speaking of this, Aunt Yun actually wiped away her tears.

"My poor child..."

Shen Jinyao reached out to stop Old Madam Shen from speaking, and said, "Okay, follow me if you want to, but you'll have to take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

"Humph, what could possibly happen? What a fuss."

Shen Tingyao walked to the front while speaking.

The rest of the people were a little disappointed when they saw this, as they thought the eldest lady was so powerful.

"Mother."

Mrs. Shen gave the silver she had prepared to Shen Jinyao, a total of one hundred taels.

Shen Jinyao took the money and led his men into the city.

Her goal was very clear: to buy a carriage, food, clothes, weapons, and some groceries.

The tail is always following behind.

With their current level of self-defense, any soldier can cut them off.

Shen Jinyao planned to buy a carriage first and then load the rest of the things on it.

When we arrived at the carriage shop, we found that the carriages here were much more ordinary than those in Shangjing City.

But this is also what Shen Jinyao needs.

The two carriages Dongmei bought in Shangjing City were already the two most low-key carriages there.
