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

Shen Jinyao was amused. She didn't expect that Shen Zhiye knew this at such a young age.

"Zhiye, how did you know?"

Zhiye scratched his head and was too embarrassed to say anything.

In fact, he occasionally heard his father talk about his third uncle.

But when he heard his father say this, he disagreed in his heart.

After all, my second uncle is a marquis and has to attend court every day.

Uncle San runs a business privately and has something to do every day.

Only my father only knew how to go to the library and poetry club every day. I never saw him do anything else.

But he never told anyone about this.

He definitely couldn't tell this to his eldest and second sisters.

Shen Zhiye: "I was just reading blindly."

Neither Shen Jinyao nor Tingyao asked any further questions, but Tingyao listened to it.

"I see, that's how it is in business. Then why didn't I feel anything before... before?"

Shen Jinyao: "Did you know how much you could buy with one tael of silver? The maids always paid, and you never compared prices."

Shen Zhiye: "Yes, we bought from this store after comparing three other stores."

Shen Tingyao clicked her tongue twice and said, "I didn't realize that, Zhiye. He's usually very quiet, but he's quite calculating."

Shen Zhiye: "Second sister, same here."

Before Tingyao could figure out how she and Zhiye got together, she was interrupted by the noise around them.

"what happened?"

"There's a notice posted up ahead saying there's a drought in Raozhou and Longzhou, and they say a lot of refugees will be coming into the city."

"Huh? How many people can fit into such a small place like ours?"

"Who knows? Maybe he won't be able to get in."

"Shh, keep your voice down. I've also heard that some places won't let refugees in at all."

"What should we do then? Wouldn't too many refugees cause public outrage?"

"It's possible. It's also possible that someone will take advantage of the opportunity to rebel."

"Don't say that..."

……

Although the discussion around was not loud, people were saying all sorts of things.

But Shen Jinyao and others only heard the general idea.

In fact, it is understandable. After all, a place can only accommodate a limited number of people. Unless it is a place with a lot of land, it will be difficult to manage.

If chaos really breaks out, a lot of things will definitely happen on the way to escape the famine.

This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for them.

They have already left their hometown, and if they find out that they may have nowhere to go, it would be strange if they don't rebel.

It's okay if it's just people who are bent on rebellion, but if too many people take the opportunity to cause trouble, then it will be a mess.

Shen Zhiye understood all this and said timidly, "Sister, should we go first?"

Shen Jinyao nodded. She wanted to tell everyone the news.

When they rushed back to the camp, they just happened to see everyone coming down the mountain.

Shen Jinyao bought a total of sixty buns, which means each person can only eat two.

Anyway, it’s just a matter of trying something new.

After dinner, Shen Jinyao told everyone the news.

After hearing this, everyone frowned.

Even the Shen family, which was previously a marquis's mansion, felt that what the emperor did this time was somewhat unreasonable.

There was a famine in the place where he lived, and many people fled, but the imperial court refused to support them.

Are we just going to let these people fend for themselves?

At this time, the eldest lady sighed and said, "They are really pitiful."

Mrs. Shen: "Yes, I have no home to return to, so I can only wander around."

Shen Zhiyong: "Let's help them as much as we can."

Shen Zhixue: "Well, we should help as much as we can. This is what our grandfather has always taught us."

Shen Zhixin: "If someone gets sick, I definitely can't bear to watch it."

Shen Zhiye nodded.

The maids and servants around also nodded continuously.

They all recalled what happened that night.

When the village chief left, Shen Zhixin wanted to give him some herbs.

After all, those people were all injured.

But since his sister didn't say anything, he didn't dare to mention it.

In fact, it was not just him. When the other people in the Shen family heard the village chief mention the longevity village, they softened their hearts and wanted to give them things.

Shen Jinyao sensed something was wrong and quickly prepared the Shen family.

She shook her head and said, "That's not true. We are also pitiful. And our abilities are not enough, so we can only protect ourselves.

"If we meet them on the road, we must not show mercy and help them."

She has no heart for justice.

Her mission and responsibility is to bring the Shen family to Quzhou smoothly.

When you get there, figure out how to live a good life.

After she finished speaking, the Shen family fell silent again.

Throughout history, the Shen family has always been a family of etiquette.

My grandfather passed away a few years ago. When he was alive, he always taught everyone in the Shen family this way.

Later, my grandmother also educated her children in this way.

The Shen family sometimes cooks vegetarian meals to help the poor people.

But now Shen Jinyao just said it bluntly, don't care about other people's life or death.

They didn't allow anyone to give any charity because they felt that Shen Jinyao was too cold-hearted.

At this time, Ergou said: "I think the eldest lady is right. Many times, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes."

Zongshi thought for a moment and said, "Just like the village chief we met that day, if we gave them our food, they would definitely steal it from us."

Ergou and the Zong brothers are all people who have wandered around the world.

Of course, I have suffered losses in this regard.

But the Shen family has never experienced this.

What they learned and heard was about helping the weak.

Although the Meng brothers lost their parents early, judging from their upbringing, their parents educated them very well.

And they were able to survive thanks to the help of many villagers.

The first scam they fell for was Bao Yunling’s job recruitment.

The Shen family and the Meng brothers obviously disagreed with Zongshi's words.

The eldest lady said, "How is that possible? Didn't you say at the time that you knew Doctor Gao?"

Mrs. Shen: "Yes, we should always think positively about everything."

The others nodded as well.

So Zongshi didn't say anything more.

Shen Jinyao sighed in her heart.

Maybe there are some things that you can only understand after experiencing them yourself.

No one is born cold-hearted.

It’s just that people’s hearts are complicated.

She originally wanted to use this incident to make things clear to everyone in advance.

After all, there are too many refugees and they may encounter all kinds of people.

Don't wait until others come to find trouble before they go to help others.

It just seems like everyone still doesn't understand.

Even her mother and brother, who always supported her, had expressions of disapproval.

The old lady who was listening on the side also had an expression of pity on her face.

On the other hand, only the Third Madam and Le Yao kept nodding.

Shen Tingyao and Aunt Yun looked confused and unconcerned.

The Shen family is a kind family after all.

Lan Xing stood behind and poked Chunlan beside her.

"Hey, why is the young lady so cold-blooded and heartless?"

Chunlan didn't say anything, but just as she was about to nod, Qiuyan beside her spat at her.

"Don't fart."
