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

In the past, whenever Shen Jinyao said something like this, Shen Tingyao would refute it.

This time she was unusually silent.

Shen Jinyao looked at her curiously and found that she was lowering her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Just when Shen Jinyao thought she wouldn't say anything else, she spoke.

"It's not like I'm not learning anything. Although I can't compare to you, I also want to be like Le Yao."

“But I found that I couldn’t learn anything.”

"I'm a little distressed."

Shen Jinyao: "What are you worried about?"

Shen Tingyao frowned, holding her chin with both hands. Upon closer inspection, she looked like a moonlight beauty.

She said: "I seem to be able to do nothing except look good."

……

Although Shen Tingyao's words sounded a bit Versailles, she was indeed not wrong.

Even when fleeing from famine, without makeup and dressed as a man, she was still very beautiful.

If the Shen family had not been exiled, Shen Tingyao would definitely marry into a prestigious family in the future.

Even royal family members are possible.

However, once the situation changed, she was indeed somewhat powerless.

Shen Jinyao said, "If there is nothing you want to do, just think of one thing."

Shen Tingyao was curious, "What's the matter?"

Shen Jinyao: "How do you protect yourself?"

"If the enemy really comes and we are too busy to take care of ourselves, how will you protect yourself?"

"If we were suddenly separated and it was just you, how would you survive?"

"Of course, these are all hypotheticals, but no one can predict what the future holds. Currently, we can only protect ourselves."

Shen Tingyao was silent. She felt in her heart that what Jin Yao said was right.

But he still didn't want to admit it.

Take learning martial arts for example, all she learns are fancy moves.

I can't lift the sword when practicing, I can't swing the sword when practicing, and I can easily hit myself with the whip when practicing.

The bow and arrow are not accurate, and the stick is difficult to fight.

The only thing that is useful at the moment is the telescope.

Shen Tingyao: "Humph, even if you say I'm worthless, I can still protect myself."

Shen Jinyao smiled and said, "That's the best. I'm going to rest now. You should rest too."

Shen Tingyao looked at Shen Jinyao who fell asleep quickly and fell into deep thought.

Has Jin Yao been like this since childhood?

Why doesn't she remember what Jin Yao looked like before?

However, she thinks Jin Yao is pretty good now.

……

The next day, before dawn, there was a noise at the Shen family's camp.

First, everyone did exercises together, and the older ones ran directly at the foot of the mountain.

The younger ones just run up the mountain.

After running, I started doing horse stance and then started practicing weapons.

Shen Jinyao found that Shen Tingyao persisted this time, unlike in the past when she would slip away halfway through the practice.

We had egg and wild vegetable soup for breakfast. The wild vegetables were picked by Meng Si nearby.

After dinner, Shen Jinyao took Shen Tingyao and Shen Zhiye to buy things.

For the rest of you, today's workload is huge.

Meng Da took Zhiyong, Zhixue and the Zong brothers to the mountains to practice archery.

Meng Er and Meng Wu took Ergou, Le Yao, Dali and others to go hunting.

Meng San took Zhiye to collect herbs.

Meng Si took Dongmei and five maids to look for wild vegetables and fruits.

All of them planned not to come back at noon, and the bamboo baskets and cloth bags they brought were not enough for them to share.

Finally, Meng San and Meng Si followed Li Ma and made up a few more stories.

When everyone set out to go up the mountain, only Butler Sun and a few ladies were left at the foot of the mountain.

Their location was hidden enough, and they were not going to the deep mountains today, so there was nothing to worry about.

Mrs. Shen said, "Everyone is busy, so why don't we just sit around? I just don't know what we can do."

The eldest lady said: "We are running out of dry food. How about making some bread in advance?"

The Third Lady: "No problem, I'll show you how to light a fire."

Steward Sun, who was standing by, smiled and said, "I'll go get some more water now."

……

The people on the mountain are busy, and the people at the foot of the mountain are not idle either.

The old lady who was resting against a big tree smiled with relief.

Three months ago, she would never have dreamed of such a scene.

The grandchildren are gradually becoming sensible, and the daughters-in-law have harmonious relationships...

All this is thanks to Jin'er.

It’s just a pity that her sons can’t see it and don’t know what kind of suffering they are suffering in the distance.

Laughter and joy came from the mountain, interrupting the old lady's sadness.

She thought that with children like these, their Shen family would definitely make a comeback.

How can life get worse and worse?

At this time, Shen Jinyao was taking Shen Tingyao and Shen Zhiye shopping.

She gave the money to Zhiye, went to buy it as usual, and then found a place to meet up.

Before leaving, she repeatedly told Shen Tingyao not to meddle in other people's business.

After they separated, Shen Jinyao went to buy a large amount of salt, as well as several water tanks and water bags.

I even bought the racks needed for drying.

Anyway, there is plenty of space in her space.

Now she was the only one sitting in her carriage.

Only she knows how many things are in the car, and it is more convenient to take things from the space.

By the time Shen Jinyao found Tingyao and Zhiye, there were a lot of people gathered around them.

Shen Jinyao's first reaction was that something had happened to them again.

She quickly pushed through the crowd to look, only to see Zhiye and Tingyao standing in the middle, arguing about something.

She listened carefully and it seemed to be a money issue.

Tingyao: "Boss, why did you change your mind again after we agreed just now?"

Zhiye: "Yes, it's fifty catties in total, and ten taels of silver in total. This is totally wrong."

The boss tried to argue at first, but when he saw that these two people were not easy to fool, he finally gave up.

"Okay, okay, don't interrupt me while I'm doing my business. I guess I made a mistake, okay?"

How come such a fair-skinned little scholar is so clingy?

People around were pointing and talking about the boss.

Instead, he praised Shen Tingyao and Shen Zhiye.

Shen Jinyao listened and thought that it was nothing more than the elder brother being brave and the younger brother being strategic.

It was not until she got the things that Shen Tingyao saw Shen Jinyao smiling in the crowd.

"Look, Jin Yao is there."

Zhiye turned around and saw Shen Jinyao, and a smile instantly appeared on his face.

He was still scared just now. After all, when he went out with his second sister, he was always afraid that she would get into trouble.

She hadn't noticed it before, but ever since they were exiled, her second sister hadn't been very reliable.

When he was arguing with his boss just now, he was still a little worried.

Unexpectedly, this time my second sister would argue with reason and not give in at all.

"Brother Jin!"

I don’t know if it was Shen Jinyao’s illusion, but she called him “Brother Jin” a little excitedly.

She was very satisfied with the performance of both of them.

"Come on, I'll take you guys to have a bowl of noodles before we leave."

Shen Tingyao: "Let's not eat it. Grandma and the others can't eat it either."

Shen Zhiye also nodded.

Shen Jinyao said, "Then let's buy some cheap buns and take them back to share with everyone."

While buying buns, Shen Tingyao asked a question.

"Why do all these shop owners like to cheat others?"

Zhiye, who was counting money with his head down, said, "Because there is no business without fraud."
