At this time, in a carriage moving on the official road, Shen Jingyu looked out the window at the increasingly unfamiliar environment outside and couldn't help complaining.

"I really don't know what my parents are thinking! Our Shen family is living well in Linhe County, why do they suddenly want to move the whole family to the capital?"

"And even if you're going to the capital, you don't have to rush like that. It's only been the 15th and you're already in such a hurry to leave. It's not even the end of the first month yet. It's like you're fleeing."

Shen Jingxin on the side quickly advised her, "Third sister, Dad and Mom must have their reasons for making this decision. Besides, what kind of place is the capital? It's under the feet of the emperor. If there is a choice, who would not be happy to live in the capital? It's a good thing for us to move."

"Also, I heard that my cousin is an official in the capital. Our family will not be alone in the capital. I also overheard mother telling Aunt Zhao that when we get to the capital and settle down, we will ask my cousin to find a young talent for you. Third sister, you are so lucky!"

Shen Jingxin could only coax Shen Jingyu, otherwise if her third sister really started to throw a tantrum, the first person to be troubled would be her who was riding in the same carriage with her.

Fortunately, Shen Jingxin has been used to being humble in front of Shen Jingyu since childhood, and she is very good at flattering her, and her words can touch Shen Jingyu's heart.

Seeing that Shen Jingyu stopped complaining, Shen Jingxin flattered her again, and soon all the unhappiness in Shen Jingyu's heart disappeared.

At this moment, a smile appeared on Shen Jingyu's lips, perhaps because she was imagining that she would soon go to the capital to enjoy a wealthy life and marry a rich and powerful young talent as her husband.

She had a very ordinary face, but she had to act delicate and noble. She glanced at Shen Jingxin from top to bottom and said, "You are so sweet-mouthed. No wonder mother always told me to learn how to talk from you. No one in our Shen family can flatter people better than you."

It was always like this. No matter how caring and flattering she was, Shen Jingyu always looked down on her. Shen Jingxin clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into the flesh of her palms, but she seemed not to feel the pain.

She still had a sweet and innocent smile on her face, "Mom, you were just joking. How can I compare with Third Sister? You are my biological daughter, and I am only my aunt's daughter. Although Mom has loved me very much over the years, I know my place in my heart."

Her words sounded sincere, but Shen Jingyu didn't care or could not care whether she really thought so in her heart. As long as she said what Shen Jingyu wanted to hear, that was all that mattered.

After hearing this, Shen Jingyu snorted arrogantly again, "Since you have been able to see your own status clearly and know when to advance and retreat, when we get to the capital and my marriage is settled, I will ask mother to find you a scholar or something like that. However, with your conditions, if you want to find a scholar, you can't be picky about the other party's family conditions."

"Thank you, Third Sister. But I have no right to choose. It will all be up to my parents." Shen Jingxin didn't show his emotion on his face, but he could no longer suppress his anger.

Why do you have to marry a talented young man from the capital? When I look for a scholar, I can only find a poor one with a bad family background.

The two sisters were in the carriage imagining their future life in the capital. One of them held the other in her arms and said that the atmosphere in the carriage could be considered harmonious.

What they didn't know was that their family said they were going to the capital to develop, but in fact it could also be considered as fleeing. The Shen family was considered a wealthy family in their Linhe County, but outside of Linhe County they were nothing in Lancang Province, let alone in the capital.

However, the master of the Shen family is quite sensitive to changes in the environment. His family has some relatives in the border city of Xizhou, and they exchange letters on a daily basis.

He had felt something was wrong half a year ago, but he couldn't tell why. Moreover, their Lancang Province was relatively close to the national border, so he felt that something was going to happen. After much thought, Mr. Shen decided to move his family.

Since he would have to start from scratch wherever he went, he might as well go to the most prosperous place in the entire Jing Kingdom. He also had several relatives in the capital.

……

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Shao's family continued to live a leisurely life in the countryside until the end of the first lunar month, when it was time to return to the capital.

On the day of departure for Beijing, a large number of people came to see him off, and a "Eighteen Farewells" was staged, which was comparable to the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, and both sides shed a lot of tears.

After the carriage was on the road, seeing that Zhao Ye was still a little depressed, Li Shao gently hugged him in his arms, stroked his hair, and comforted him: "Brother Ye, don't be like this, separation is a normal thing."

"Besides, we won't be seeing each other for the rest of our lives. We can always invite my parents-in-law, Bao Ge'er and the others to come to Beijing to play and stay at home."

Zhao Ye put her face on Li Shao's chest and nodded slightly, "Husband, I'm fine. We all have our own families and lives. We can't stay together forever. I understand. It's just that we are a little sad to be separated suddenly. It will be fine in a while."

Li Shao held Zhao Ye in his arms and comforted him. Seeing that the two little ones were not very happy, he asked with some attention: "What's wrong with you two? Are you reluctant to go back to the capital? Don't you want your friends in the capital anymore since you have friends in Zhaojia Village?"

"No way! I want them all, Dad. I don't know why I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Yeah, my chest feels weird. I won't see Erniu, Sanpang and the others when I return to Beijing."

"But I miss Zhou Mao and the others, too. I want to tell them what snow looks like."

"Yes, and Yu Ge'er. When I was going back to Zhao Village, Yu Ge'er cried."

The two children kept muttering that they were reluctant to leave their friends in Zhaojia Village and also missed their good friends in Beijing. However, although they were still young, they also experienced the feeling of parting.

Li Shao smiled and touched their heads, "It's normal for you to feel this way. This is an emotion and experience that everyone will have."

"When you two grow up, you will have your own life pursuits and your own family. You won't always be with me and your father. This will be considered a separation. Now is the time to experience and adapt."

Li Shao said it lightly, but the two children, who were originally only a little uncomfortable, suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable and threw themselves into his and Zhao Ye's arms.

"Ahhh! No! I don't want to be separated from Daddy and Father!"

"I don't want it either! What pursuits, family, I don't want my own family!"

"I want to be with my brother, daddy, and father! Our family of four will be together!"

"Brother Jin is right!"

Looking at the two children who were trying hard to act coquettishly in their arms and couldn't get up after Li Shao's few words, Zhao Ye's sadness of parting seemed to have almost dissipated.

He Lishao smiled at each other, touched the backs of the two children and said, "Okay, we won't separate. Our family will not separate."

Li Shao stretched out his big hand, took the three of them into his arms and hugged them tightly. The family of four snuggled together, looking very warm and happy.

Children's worries always come and go quickly. In just one day, the two of them regained their energy.

I focused all my attention on the various new and interesting things along the way, wanting to eat this and play with that.

It was more than half a month later that the family returned to the capital after playing and traveling. Fortunately, Li Shao still had about a month of vacation, so he could continue to rest at home.
