I was exiled and I took away my supplies and ran away with my whole family.

Shen Xingmian stared at Xu Ce for a while, a little impolitely, but no matter how she looked at him, she didn't see any trace of a handsome man in him.

This is too well hidden.

The ladies in the capital who wanted to marry him would probably have their hearts beat when they saw him like this.

The little deer in my heart fell into coma and died.

Thinking of this scene, she almost couldn't control her expression and laughed out loud.

However, she did not forget about the business and asked quickly: "Tomorrow I will go to the city on an official mission to do some shopping. Think about it quickly and see what you need."

Shen Zhiheng knew her granddaughter's secret and knew that no matter how much she asked for, she could bring it back, but the other two didn't know.

Xu Ce and Xiao Yanyue both shook their heads and said they didn't need it.

Shen Xingmian knew that when these two people first arrived, not only did they not integrate into the place, but they also saw themselves as a burden, so they were not willing to ask for anything.

So she spoke again considerately: "It's okay, I still have some money hidden away. I will buy a car when I come back tomorrow. The things can be accommodated, so you don't have to squeeze in like this."

Xu Ce quickly refused: "I don't need to. After communicating with His Highness and Old General Shen, I can go down and walk. I promise not to go too far, and will stay close to you, and be ready to deal with danger at any time."

Shen Xingmian felt dumbfounded when he heard what he said.

Why were the loyal people in ancient times so sensible? Compared with those in the capital, they were two extremes.

However, Xu Ce's voice is really nice.

When he kept silent, he looked like a savage who had just come out of the mountains, but when he opened his mouth, the aura of a handsome guy suddenly came over.

She suddenly felt more fond of this person.

Yes, it's so unpretentious and sudden.

Such an upright person is worthy of respect, not to mention that he is probably a handsome guy who is pleasing to the eye.

In fact, she should have guessed that her mother had such a tricky eye and would give Xu Ce such a high evaluation. How could he really be a rough guy in the mountains?

Originally she had maintained the attitude that it didn't matter whether he was there or not, but now, suddenly it didn't matter.

She had to do her best to keep people here.

"If you really can't work it out, I will make the arrangements without authorization. As a young girl of my age, no one will blame me even if I spend money randomly."

After talking about it, I already felt like I was talking to myself.

And it was this indifferent attitude that successfully made the two people who were still polite start to think seriously.

Shen Zhiheng quietly gave his granddaughter a thumbs up, and Shen Xingmian responded with a somewhat proud smile.

"Okay, then you can study it slowly. We won't leave until tomorrow morning anyway, so there's still plenty of time."

After saying that, she lowered the curtain and returned the space to the three people.

She also had to think carefully about what she needed to buy back. Most of the things collected in the space were treasures. Although they were valuable, they were not practical. She had to bring back something edible.

Without rain for such a long time, it is difficult to guarantee the food harvest, but as long as there is space, it will actually have no impact on their family.

But it would be strange if we didn’t buy some and have enough food to eat.

Especially for a thoughtful person like my aunt, as time goes by, she will definitely find something wrong. If asked, how to explain it.

Although Shen Xingmian felt that even if her aunt knew about it, she would not come to ask her, but would silently accept the situation.

Then you have to prevent being discovered by outsiders.

So food is still essential.

She also planned to buy a carriage, otherwise there would be no place to put the things left outside for people to see.

You can't just share it all with everyone, right?

Even if it is possible, how to bring it back from the city is still a problem.

There are also items to keep out the cold. Even though it is late summer, the weather is still very hot, but as they go north, the weather will get cooler.

In the north, all items to keep out the cold will be much more expensive than here.

The same set of cotton-padded clothes may be bought for a few hundred coins here, but in the north, even two taels of silver may not be enough.

So preparations must be made in advance.

But in the summer, it seems impossible to buy cotton-padded clothes and quilts. It’s not modern. Off-season products can be purchased online, but they may not be available here.

If that doesn't work, just buy some cotton cloth first and then ask if there is any cotton. It's best to go to each store and check. If there is any unsold inventory from last year, you can just collect it all.

As for charcoal, there is probably little need for it. There are few people in the north, but there are many mountains and more trees, so it is unlikely that there will be a shortage of firewood.

I don’t know if people here know how to make a kang, but if they can, it will be quite comfortable at home in winter.

If not, the only option would be to place a charcoal basin in the house, which would be too difficult.

Shen Xingmian has experienced the winter in the north. If there is no heater at home, even the quilt will be cold. If you try to warm the quilt with your body temperature, you will probably freeze to death.

She was too lazy to turn on the electric blanket in advance. As soon as she got into bed, she shivered from the cold. She shivered for a long time, waiting for the electric blanket to slowly heat up.

She had experienced that kind of silly operation once, and she never wanted to experience it again.

There is another very important category to buy, and that is cooked food. It's not the modern kind of cooked food that's all braised meat, it's all cooked food that's cooked and can be eaten directly.

I bought steamed buns, all kinds of pastries, candies, everything I could buy, and put them in the space for emergencies.

She knew that the level of sugar production in ancient times was very low, and there was a high probability that she would not be able to buy delicious sugar, but it was better than nothing.

When she settles down later, she can look for information on sugar making, teach some of her own people how to make sugar, and open a large workshop.

When the time comes, it won’t be up to her to eat whatever kind of candy she wants.

One good thing about ancient times was that all food was made from raw materials that were slightly processed before being put on the market, without any technological work at all.

Because technology, the primary productive force, has not been researched yet.

There is no need to worry that what you want to eat contains too much sugar and will make you gain weight after eating it. Most of the food here is not sweet at all.

The pastries that were collected only had a faint sweet taste, even the ones in the harem were like this.

Under such circumstances, it would definitely be very profitable to develop a sugar industry chain. Shen Xingmian was very excited by this idea, but he did not talk to anyone, including his very flexible father.

She deeply understands the principle of "secret matters are used to make things happen, words are used to make things known", and she knows that if she only has one idea, it is not a good time to talk about it.

At least we should wait until we have a spacious stronghold that is stable, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our life has gradually stabilized before we can discuss expansion matters.
