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

The old lady was persuaded to leave by the Third Lady and Nanny Li.

Shen Tingyao and Shen Zhixue were helped up by Aunt Yun, and the three of them burst into tears.

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Jinyao with heartache.

"Yao'er, you've worked hard."

Shen Jinyao looked at her mother, whose face was a little pale, and shook her head: "Mom, I'm fine. But you, do you feel a little tired?"

I have the impression that Mrs. Shen has always been in good spirits. Even when she was managing the Marquis' Mansion, she never looked so haggard.

Mrs. Shen wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "It's okay, maybe I was too anxious just now."

Shen Jinyao was still a little worried, "Mother, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, please tell me, okay?"

Madam Shen nodded heavily, "Don't worry, why do you treat me like a child?"

Shen Jinyao hugged Mrs. Shen's arm and smiled coquettishly.

But she was still a little worried, and hoped that the next time she went to the city, she could take Mrs. Shen to see if she was sick.

"Mother, go take a look at the things I bought. I'll go talk to Brother Zong."

Mrs. Shen nodded, feeling a little distressed.

Her daughter hardly had a moment to rest.

Thinking of this, she thought of Shen Tingyao again.

I decided to talk to her. At this time, do you still think of yourself as a young lady from a marquis's mansion?

Shen Jinyao had no idea what Mrs. Shen said to Shen Tingyao.

At this time, she was communicating with two bodyguards.

Shen Jinyao had never expected that the bodyguard she just met casually on the street was actually a member of the famous Chiyan Gang?

It even brought out the big secret of the Chiyan Gang...

Not only does it have connections with foreign nations, it also has connections with the imperial court.

She always felt that things in the Chiyan Gang were not simple, and there might be a bigger trap.

I just don't know who this trap is set for.

but……

She is a very cautious person.

Although Zong Cheng and Zong Shi seemed to have told them everything.

However, their identities were too special, so she decided to observe them first.

"Brother Zong, Brother Zong."

Faced with Shen Jinyao's sudden politeness, the brothers of the Zong family were a little at a loss.

They quickly bowed and saluted: "Master Jin."

Shen Jinyao waved her hand and said, "Grandmother and I just discussed and decided that the two of you are indeed good at martial arts and are suitable to be our escorts."

"only……"

Before Zong Cheng had time to be happy, he heard Shen Jinyao say just that, and he thought she was going to change her mind.

He asked anxiously, "Just what?"

Zongshi glared at his elder brother and said, "Brother, why are you so anxious? Let Master Jin speak slowly."

Shen Jinyao smiled and said she didn't care.

"We in the Huo family have always had a habit."

Zongshi nodded, knowing that many large families had their own rules, and as long as they were not too excessive, the two brothers could accept them.

After all, it was only after they came down the mountain that they realized how difficult it was to make their way in the world on their own.

As the saying goes, a penny can make a hero fall, and this is absolutely true.

The two of them were abandoned since childhood, and it was the old gang leader who raised them two brothers.

The old gang leader taught them that the Chiyan Gang does not steal or rob, and must be an upright gang.

Later, the old gang leader suddenly passed away, and the new gang leader was their junior fellow apprentice.

The two of them were constantly being ostracized in the gang, and they had originally decided to just stay there in confusion.

I didn't expect that there would be another traitor in the gang...

No matter how difficult it is, it is better than going back to be a traitor.

Shen Jinyao couldn't help but laugh as she watched the two brothers bravely going to their deaths.

She was thinking that if there really was no problem between these two people, then she must be blessed by God.

Even though he has become the leader of ten evil gangs, he can still be so honest and sincere. Such people must be rare.

The two of them must be the hidden gems of the Chiyan Gang.

When she thought of this, the expression on her face couldn't help but become kind.

"Haha, our family always has a probation period for our employees. We will officially hire them after the probation period."

Zong Cheng and Zong Shi have limited educational background and don’t know what the probation period means.

Zongshi asked, "Master Jin, can you explain what a probationary period is?"

They roughly know what "trial" means, but they don't quite understand the three words "trial period" together.

Shen Jinyao explained: "We will use it for a while first, and then formally cooperate if it is suitable."

"For example, we can hire you to protect us to Yanzhou first. If there are no problems, you can continue to escort us the rest of the way."

"Of course, the money will be paid as usual. We agreed before that each person sent to Quzhou would receive 20 taels. Since there are 22 of us in total, we will receive 400 taels."

Zong Cheng and Zong Shi looked at each other. They had never received so much money before.

When I was setting the price with Shen Jinyao, I just followed the Dingcheng Escort Agency and asked for a random price.

If the two brothers could earn four hundred taels from this trip, they would make a fortune.

This order is worth a lot.

"However, during our trial period, that is, for the journey from Jinzhou to Yanzhou, I can only give you twenty taels first."

"If you escort me well, I'll give you half of the money, and I'll give you the rest when we get to Quzhou."

"What do you think?"

Zongshi thought for a moment and asked, "Then do we need a written document?"

Shen Jinyao remained noncommittal, "Of course."

The two of them looked at each other, and finally it was the younger brother Zongshi who made the decision.

"Thank you, Master Jin, for choosing us. We'll take this deal."

Although there are twenty-two people in this family, except for the ladies who need special protection, the rest of the people don't seem to need to be worried too much.

Besides, with someone as sensible as Master Jin, this trip shouldn't be that difficult.

At this time, the two brothers of the Zong family had not yet imagined how difficult the road ahead would be.

But now they are absolutely convinced that this business is worth the money.

Shen Jinyao added: "But I have to tell you the details. In addition to paying you wages, we will also be responsible for your food and clothing."

The two brothers of the Zong family looked at their extremely dirty clothes and scratched their heads embarrassedly.

"But you have to agree to one condition of mine."

Zong Cheng said, "Master Jin, please feel free to speak."

Shen Jinyao: "We exercise every day. I will teach them how to squat and practice a few moves, but I won't teach them any more details."

"Our four boys don't know anything. I wonder if you can teach them some skills?"

"Oh, the money for this is paid separately. How about giving you a hundred taels in total?"

Even if Zong Cheng and Zong Shi were not good at counting, they knew that the total amount was five hundred taels of silver.

It's too late to agree.

only……

"Master Jin, what should we teach them?"

"Aren't you all eight classes proficient in all martial arts? I'll teach you whatever you know, without any restrictions."

"Big Brother Jin, and me too!"

When they turned around, they saw Shen Leyao hiding behind them and eavesdropping.

Shen Jinyao held her forehead with her hand. Shen Leyao was just like Shen Tingyao, neither of them was easy to deal with.

It’s just that the way the lamp is burned is different.
