"Okay! Okay~ Xiaoqi, I heard that there are many famous writers in Peking, and they like to hold literary gatherings when they have nothing to do. If uncle takes you there, remember to ask for their autographs! By the way, there will also be lectures! I wonder if you can go and see~"

The world outside is much more exciting than the unchanging, oppressive and closed Datong County. Shen Wenmo, who had seen a glimpse of it in the newspaper, was full of longing. He recently disliked the school he was in. The teacher only knew the sophistication, and now it was becoming popular to use vernacular Chinese for propaganda.

Regardless of who he was doing it for, he let Mo Geer get in touch with newspapers and books from the outside world, which really broadened Mo Geer's horizons.

Girls can go to school, work, attend various parties and dress beautifully to appear in newspapers. Such a beautiful and brilliant life was beautified in the newspapers, which made the third sister Xiujie secretly yearn for it.

Xiu Jie looked shyly at Shen Wenjiao and Shen Wenmo, who were discussing with great interest how to exchange their reading experience in letters and express their opinions on things mentioned in newspapers and books. However, Xiu Jie looked at the old woman who was serving with her head down, who was her mother's confidant, and sighed. Her mother would not let her have any thoughts or behaviors that were not in line with a woman in the boudoir. It was not that she would punish her, but she would keep repeating how this was an extraordinary and bad reputation, and then she would keep giving examples of the miserable consequences of doing so.

Xiu Jie'er could only suppress all the thoughts in her mind once again and wait for the next emergence or outburst.

Why is it that there are some things that Mo Ge'er and Jiao Jie'er can do, but she thinks it's not proper to even think about it! Why is there such a difference between them?

"Brother Jiu, hehe, I will definitely find a way to go and have a look when the time comes. I'll show you around first, and when you go there later I can be your tour guide and show you around."

After Shen Wenjiao came to terms with it, she also had new expectations for the capital of this era, Beiping. Although the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven that could be visited in the future were not open yet, there was also an ancient city area that had not been destroyed at all! There must be many more interesting places than the Shen family, and she must take a good look at them if she had the chance.

After changing her mind, Shen Wenjiao changed her initial attitude and began to look forward to going to Beiping. The anticipation and joy on her face made Grandma Shen, who was busy preparing things for her, feel a little unhappy!

While Grandma Shen was busy sewing the small clothes in her hands, she complained angrily to Feng Ma who was helping to make shoes next to her.

"I raised this girl in vain. Look at her now. She was crying and aggrieved at first, and I felt sorry for her. Now I don't know how long it will take for us to see each other again. Well, now look what has happened. I am delaying her from having a better life! If I had known, I should have let her go with her father last time. It's just a nuisance for her to stay."

No, Grandma Shen subconsciously forgot that she asked Mr. Shen for an extra 200 dollars in education fees in order to keep her daughter!

Feng Ma didn't agree with Shen's words without any tact. How the mother talked about her own child was her own business. But it would be bad if she followed suit, because her master would definitely remember it.

Sure enough, Grandma Shen didn't expect Aunt Feng to say anything, but she couldn't stand seeing Shen Wenjiao go from crying and being unwilling to being happy and full of expectations.

Shen Wenjiao was a dispensable existence in the Shen family. When Old Master Shen and Old Lady Shen found out, they just said "yes" for the sake of politeness. They didn't even call Shen Wenjiao over to show concern and explanation, which showed that they really didn't care much about this granddaughter.

However, seeing that Shen Wenjiao did not feel like an elder at all, Grandma Shen Wu sent someone to deliver a good quality rattan box, which was just the right size to store things when traveling long distances.

Grandma Shen looked at this very suitable rattan box, then looked at the wooden box she had originally prepared, and silently remembered the kindness of Grandma Shen Wu.

Time passed in the blink of an eye. Just when Grandma Shen had stuffed the wicker box full without leaving any space, the person who was going to take Shen Wenjiao to Peking arrived.

"Grandma, the master asked me to give this to you. As for the young lady, don't worry! I will bring her to Peking safely." The person who came to pick up Shen Wenjiao was an acquaintance, Gu Qingfeng, a close attendant of Master Shen.

A young man who reminds people of the protagonists of various immortal cultivation novels just by hearing his name, but unfortunately he doesn't have the luck and treatment of the protagonists. Gu Qingfeng is really just an ordinary follower, with a dark complexion at most, but he smiles in a simple and thick way, which makes people approachable.

"It's Xiao Gu! This makes me feel more relieved. You follow the master back and forth, there must be no problem."

Grandma Shen took the wooden box that she had brought back specially. She did not believe in paper money such as legal tender, but believed in the heavy dollars and gold and silver. The actual weight made Grandma Shen feel more at ease.

Grandma Shen and Shen Wenjiao, who had never been out of the house, didn't know that transportation was bad in this era. Even taking a train was very painful. The speed was slow, the distance was long, and the people on the road were not necessarily safe. Moreover, the ticket was not cheap, but very expensive, otherwise Master Shen would not have sent Gu Qingfeng back to pick them up. Shen Wenjiao was a girl after all, so it would be more convenient for her to have a maid to accompany her.

"Jiao Jie'er, mother made you various underwear for future use, but time was tight so I didn't embroider them."

Shen Wenjiao listened to her mother's last words of advice before she left with a frown on her face. It turned out that the box that you stuffed so full that she couldn't even put a book in was actually filled with all these things! It's true that a loving mother's hand thread makes clothes for her wandering son!

Shen Wenjiao held the strap of her small bag tightly in her hand, feeling mixed emotions in her heart. She lowered her head to hide her red eyes, "I know, mother. I will write to you when I am settled. You, you can also write to me if you have any difficulties."

Shen Wenjiao finally softened her heart and thought of her mother's kindness, and couldn't help but make a promise.

However, when Grandma Shen heard this, her eyes lit up as if she had thought of something. She glanced at Gu Qingfeng, who was standing a little further away to give the mother and daughter space to talk.

She lowered her head and spoke softly to Shen Wenjiao, "If your father gives you pocket money, you should know how to save it as a girl, and don't spend it all carelessly. If you are worried, you can send it back and let your mother save it for you."
