After dividing the supernatural water among the three of them, Shen Xingmian had time to sit down and rest for a while.
They don't know when the imperial edict will come, and they must maintain their strength to cope with the coming day.
Shen Xingmian rummaged through his memory and found that although this was a general's mansion, it didn't have a large population.
Because my grandfather had no brothers or sisters, and only had two sons and one daughter, the relationship was not complicated.
My eldest uncle Shen Yunqi and my cousin Shen Zheng had been summoned back from the border before and were still in prison. They were the ones my mother wanted to save.
My eldest aunt Mu Zhizhi is at home with her cousin Shen Xingyan. Yesterday, they were mother and daughter standing in front of my grandfather's bed.
Second uncle Shen Yunlan felt that it was not good for his family to join the army. With the way his father and eldest brother did things, they would stick to the military officers for any rewards. Sooner or later, the family would have to uncover the problem.
So she chose to follow her second aunt Lin Miao, who was a merchant, to run around doing business. She spent very little time at home all year round.
Because his whereabouts are always elusive, he has not been caught yet.
The whole family supports the second uncle's decision, because if it weren't for his choice, the border soldiers might not have enough winter clothes and food.
Military pay has been withheld year after year, reaching the point where they can no longer afford food and clothing.
These nobles far away in the capital don't care about the life and death of the border officers. In the past, when the prince was here, they would try their best to help them fight for it, but now, even the prince is no longer here...
There were many female relatives of officials who opened shops, but most of the men took the imperial examination route to become officials. If a man from a family did not have a good official career and went into business instead, he would be ridiculed.
So Shen Xingmian still admires his second uncle for making such a decision.
Moreover, the second uncle was not interested in doing business since he was a child. He also practiced martial arts with his father and brother when he was a child. It was not until he realized the problem and happened to meet the second aunt that he finally made the decision.
They rarely return home, but their money and food are sent to the border one by one and never fall behind.
The reason why the new emperor was so afraid of the Shen family was because someone in the court spread the saying that "the northern army has become the Shen family's private army."
But if the court pays wages normally, why would my grandfather and second uncle have to do this?
In the end, it was all their family's fault. As a modern person who had studied history, she was very aggrieved by this.
If she hadn't come back here with the space by chance, what would have happened to this family was completely predictable.
He was persecuted all the way on the way to exile, and his iron-clad body couldn't bear it. He also had to watch his elderly father suffer from poisoning, and he tried to save him but was unable to do anything.
What a deep despair that must be.
Shen Xingmian just thought about that possibility and already felt like a knife was cutting through her heart.
Fortunately, she came.
When breakfast was ready, my aunt and cousin appeared together, dressed very simply and without any accessories.
But Shen Xingmian's eyesight was very good, and he saw a little bit of gold exposed in subtle places, which was the gold thread hidden in the clothes.
It seems that they are really preparing well.
Both of them had heard the news that Shen Xingmian was getting better. Her eldest aunt held her hand, saying nothing but tears welling up in her eyelashes.
She was a very graceful beauty, and the look with tears in her eyes was particularly touching. Shen Yun couldn't bear to look at her, hugged her and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't be sad about the past, we still have to stay together." Let’s work hard to cope with the future.”
Hearing this, the eldest aunt immediately wiped away her tears, nodded firmly, then pulled her daughter behind her and warned: "Yan'er, my sister just woke up, you have to stay by her side and take care of her, you know?"
Shen Xingyan nodded immediately and gave Shen Xingmian a bright smile. She was not like her mother, but more like her sister-in-law Shen Yunting.
Shen Xingmian had a good impression of these two people. In her memory, even though she was stupid and stupid, her aunt never said a bad word to her. Instead, she took care of other people in the family when they were busy.
The same goes for my cousin, who has a lively and cheerful personality. If she wasn't afraid that her mother would be sentimental when she was alone at home, she would be more inclined to follow her aunt to practice martial arts.
Because of her filial piety, the little girl endured her martial arts practice and often accompanied her mother to embroider at home.
How could Shen Xingmian not like such a loving family member.
She doesn't plan to tell too many people about the secret of space for the time being, but she will never let them suffer.
The housekeeper led the four people with the packed packages and came to the dining room. He reported in a calm tone: "General, everything is packed. They are all personal clothes, with gold thread sewn inside and silver notes stuffed inside."
Huh? Are these people not surprised at all that grandpa is standing here? Or was it that they had already met before he came back?
Also, Shen Xingmian felt that this was probably a useless effort. Those people had received the emperor's instructions and they should not be allowed to keep these things.
If they were found out by then, they would be ridiculed and ridiculed.
Of course, Old General Shen also thought of this, waved his hand and said: "Don't leave anyone to talk about, change to something clean. As for these packages, just put them aside."
The housekeeper was hesitant to speak. He also knew that if he was found, he would be in trouble, but if he didn't bring anything with him... how could the family survive?
But he was used to listening to the general's arrangements. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately asked someone to put down the package and prepare it again.
From an angle that no one else could see, Shen Xingmian secretly gave her grandfather a thumbs up, which made Shen Zhiheng feel a little proud.
Hey, my precious granddaughter praised him.
When the housekeeper appeared again with the four people, shouts came from the gate.
The person who announced the decree actually came so early, he really couldn't wait.
Before people rushed in, Shen Zhiheng said in a deep voice: "Those who want to leave have been let go. Since you are willing to follow, my Shen family will not let you down."
Several people knelt down and clasped their fists: "Follow General Shen to the death!"
Luo Qian quickly stepped forward to help the man up, and said quickly: "Don't let outsiders know that my father woke up. I will have to work hard along the way."
Several people nodded in unison.
After explaining, Luo Qian strode to the front yard, while General Shen returned to his room and continued to pretend to be poisoned.
As soon as he lay down, a group of soldiers rushed into the backyard.
Even if the outside was firmly guarded by their people yesterday and no one could escape, they still looked eager enough when they rushed in.
Also, this kind of opportunity to gain favor in front of the emperor's personal eunuch is not something that comes often.
Seeing the excitement of those people, Shen Xingmian sneered inwardly.
Search and see what you can find. Even the packages the housekeeper prepared before have now entered her space.
She was also a little puzzled at the same time. Even though it was still too early, there should be some movement about what happened last night, right?
