Two years passed in a flash, and the relationship between Ji Yu and Shen Chengzhi became closer.

Ji Yu is already fifteen years old, and Shen Chengzhi is seventeen years old this year.

As the situation became turbulent, the feudal dynasty was overthrown and various warlords emerged.

Among the various warlord forces, only five were ranked: Marshal Zhangzhou Lin of the Northeast War Zone, Marshal Feng Xiang of the Northwest, Marshal Zhou of the Southeast, Marshal Xie of the Southwest, and Marshal Fu of the Capital.

The most powerful among them are Marshal Zhang from the Northeast and Marshal Fu from the capital.

The South China region where the Shen family is located is relatively stable, but there is also a lack of small separatist forces.

In this turbulent era, everyone is looking for their own foothold.

Ji Yu understood that they must keep up with the pace of the times in order not to be eliminated.

So, he decided to go to the southeast region to study with Shen Chengzhi in September this year.

They all hope to use the knowledge they have learned to contribute something to this magnificent change in this turbulent era.

Ji Yu also knew that this era was fabricated in novels, but he was still full of hope. He treated it as the old China and transformed it into a new era.

But what made him feel embarrassed now was the problem from Shen Chengzhi's side.

Shen Chengzhi was worried about Shen Jinjin being alone at the Shen family. He was away studying, the journey was long and the mountains were high, and his return date was uncertain.

He was worried about his little sister being left alone in the ruthless Shen family.

"I understand your worries, Brother Shen." Ji Yu patted Shen Chengzhi on the shoulder, "Find a reason to bring Jinjin with you to Ganzhou to study."

Shen Chengzhi sighed: "The method you mentioned is really not feasible. It's not that I haven't thought about it, but now the situation is turbulent and all kinds of warlords are gathering outside. I am still worried that I can't take care of him."

"I'm more worried that my family won't agree."

Ji Yu was silent for a moment. "Ganzhou is Marshal Zhou's territory in the southeast, so there must be much less banditry than back home. After some time, there will be more refugees due to war. By then, the small town back home may not be safe either."

After listening to this, Shen Chengzhi nodded slightly in agreement, but he was still a little hesitant: "Then how do we explain it to my grandmother and father?"

"Isn't the Xu family in Ganzhou? Just say that the Xu family wants to see their daughter-in-law in advance."

Hearing this, Shen Chengzhi's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea. But then I really have to visit the Xu family's uncle and aunt."

Ji Yu thought about it and nodded: "It should be so."

Then, the two began to discuss, trying to find a foolproof plan to ensure that Shen's father and grandmother could make up their minds.

For this purpose, Ji Yu even pretended to be Shen Jinjin's fiancé Xu Nanchen and wrote a letter to Shen's father.

Shen Chengzhi returned to the Shen family with the letter.

…………

On the agreed day, Ji Yu stood at the city gate early waiting for Shen Chengzhi.

Jasmine flowers outside the city are in full bloom, and you can smell the fragrance of jasmine from afar.

But Ji Yu had no intention of appreciating the flowers. He was more worried that Shen Chengzhi would be discovered and would not be able to leave.

After all, Shen Chengzhi hadn't sent him a single letter in these days. Ji Yu kept looking into the distance, becoming more and more anxious.

Finally, he saw Shen Chengzhi’s figure slowly approaching from a distance.

"How is it?" Ji Yu hurriedly went up to ask.

Shen Chengzhi looked a little solemn, and shook his head pretending to be sad, saying: “Father said that my sister is still young, and the journey is long, it’s not safe…”

Ji Yu's heart sank, but he quickly calmed down, "It's okay, we'll find a way later."

Just then, a carriage stopped in front of them. The window opened, revealing a serious and fair face.

The girl has changed from her previous timidity and cowardice to become much braver.

"Brother Ji, it was you who wanted me to deceive you, it wasn't intentional." Shen Jinjin hurriedly explained as soon as she saw Ji Yu.

Ji Yu punched Shen Chengzhi in the chest and said angrily: "You kid, you just pretended to be very sad. I was going to comfort you!"

As they chatted and laughed, they got on the carriage.

The trip was rather simple. Besides Ji Yu and the Shen siblings, there was only a coachman driving the carriage.

Ji Yu was afraid that Shen Jinjin's reputation would be damaged, so he simply stayed outside the carriage and did not enter.

The journey to Ganzhou is not far. If you set out in the morning, you can arrive at around three or four in the afternoon.

Although the three of them were traveling in a slow carriage, they would still be able to reach Ganzhou City before sunset.

Sure enough, before the sun set, the three of them successfully arrived at a courtyard in Ganzhou City.

This yard was bought by Ji's father for resting when he went to Ganzhou for business.

The yard was neither big nor small, but it was more than enough for the three of them to live in.

Ji's father was very cooperative with his son's study in Ganzhou. He not only arranged a place for him to live, but also hired a cook.

Although Ji's father usually doesn't talk much, he is very supportive of his son's decision.

"The house has been cleaned in advance, so you can move in directly. Jinjin, you live in the south room, I live in the west wing, and Brother Shen lives in the east wing."

Ji Yu arranged it right away.

Shen Chengzhi had already taken a look at the layout of the courtyard. The room to the south was the master bedroom, while the east and west wing rooms were both secondary bedrooms next to the room to the south.

How can it be appropriate to let your sister live in the master bedroom and the master live in the second bedroom!

Chen Chengzhi quickly retorted: "Letting Jinjin live in the master bedroom is like a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest? How can a guest live in the master bedroom?"

Shen Jinjin just nodded beside her, indicating that she agreed with her brother's words.

Ji Yu said: "Sister Jinjin is a lady. Have you forgotten the book we read two days ago?"

The book says: Ladies first. As a man, you should pay attention to ladies...

Although Shen Chengzhi felt that there were reasons in the book, he felt that these words coming out of Ji Yu's mouth were just a bunch of perverse logic.

Seeing that Shen Chengzhi didn’t say anything, Ji Yu quickly started to help Shen Jinjin move the luggage.

"That's it! I'm the master, you have to follow my orders."

“You kid, you have a lot of crooked ideas.” Shen Chengzhi didn’t say anything else.

His sister had never lived in such a nice room. When he was at home, the better rooms were given to his father first, followed by his grandmother and that silly brother, and finally his poor sister.

"Finish packing early, and I'll take you to eat Ganzhou's local specialties." After Ji Yu said this, Shen Chengzhi became more and more excited to pack.
