"Uncle, Uncle, your swordsmanship is so beautiful! Can you teach Mianmian?" Shen Xingmian looked at Shen Yunqi with starry eyes, her gaze unwavering.
Although Xiao Yanyue, who was usually very restrained, couldn't help but look expectant in her eyes at this moment.
He also really liked the swordsmanship, and of course, not just the swordsmanship, but also the posture of the person wielding the sword, which was full of power and made people envious.
Shen Yunqi nodded generously: "Of course you can, but Mianmian, you're too weak to use such a big knife. I'll find you a suitable one and then teach you, okay?"
Shen Xingmian didn't rush to answer. Instead, she used her consciousness to search through the space. She had collected so many things before, how could she not find a suitable knife?
The weapons that the treacherous minister had hoarded were all for rebellion; they were all of uniform size and none of them were suitable for children.
She eventually found it in the emperor's private treasury.
Perhaps it was to please the princes, for the knife was inlaid with many jade stones, making it dazzling and very beautiful.
However, this kind of knife is fine to show off in the imperial garden of the palace, but if you take it outside, you'll be sure to attract the attention of thieves.
She found a knife that was ordinary in style but the right size for her, and planned to find another one for her sister. In the end, she simply put all the knives into a large box and put it outside.
"You can choose the ones that suit you best. If you really can't find anything suitable, I'll help you modify them to make them exactly what you want."
This was the first time many people had ever seen her conjure things out of thin air, and they stared in astonishment.
Although we had already seen her light a fire out of thin air and forge a sword with her bare hands, the sudden appearance of such a large box was still too shocking.
"The reason I was mentally impaired all those years was because my soul was in another world. Later, an accident happened and I returned here. These things were borrowed from that little world."
She still held back somewhat, saying it was a loan rather than something she took for free. This not only sounded nicer, but also made people realize that there really is no such thing as a free lunch.
Otherwise, if she were to let her family develop the bad habit of living off their savings, then it would truly be her fault.
"Since it's a loan, when should it be returned? Can it be returned exactly as it was, or is there interest?"
Shen Yunqi's handsome face showed worry. He was not a child who could just be happy; he had to think about the price to be paid.
The other three adults who knew about the space all lowered their heads in silence, waiting to see how Shen Xingmian would explain himself.
She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would ruin her child's original plan.
Shen Xingmian hesitated for a moment, then immediately replied, "No interest, no time limit, and you can send other things in exchange."
Shen Yunqi's eyes widened in surprise as he asked, "Isn't that too good a deal! If your second uncle finds out, he'll probably try to get all your treasures out of you. Mianmian, you'd better watch out!"
Shen Xingmian: "..."
Oh, this.
She was careless and forgot that she had such a shrewd second uncle at home. It's okay, she can just make up a restriction later. Anyway, no one can take things out of the space except herself.
Whether she takes it or not, it's entirely up to her.
"Okay, take a look first, see if there's anything you like. We can adjust the size and thickness, it just takes some time."
Shen Xingmian patted his chest, looking like he was saying, "Leave it to me."
Her small frame combined with that action created a really funny effect, making even her mother burst out laughing.
Fearing that Xiao Yanyue might be embarrassed to take it, she specially picked one out for him and handed it over, then whispered, "Tell me if you don't like it, and I'll change it for you."
Xiao Yanyue was deeply moved. Anyone who wasn't a fool could feel the meticulous care she received.
Because it's just too obvious.
But he also knew that this care was only because he was the only one younger than her in the whole family.
This kind of affection shown to a younger brother is not what he wants. As for what he wants, he's not quite sure right now.
For now, it's okay to keep things as they are.
"Grandpa, at this speed, how long will it take us to reach the Northern Border?" Shen Xingmian hadn't asked before because they had always walked with the exile caravan, which was much slower. Now that they had a carriage, it was different.
"It will probably take about three months. In the past, when we rushed to get there, it would take about a month. Now, with families to support and having to avoid soldiers, it will take at least three months."
Shen Xingmian nodded. If that's the case, they'll have to find something to do on the way. They can't just sit there in a daze the whole time, can they?
If they went to the North, wouldn't they become stupid?
"Grandpa, teach us martial arts! All the guards are gone, and we need to learn how to protect ourselves."
Especially Dao Dao, he'll definitely encounter a lot of danger in the future, and without sufficient self-defense capabilities, I'm really worried.
Shen Zhiheng patted her head and agreed, "Grandpa thinks so too. We'll teach her verbally first, and once the little prince has recovered, Yan'er can be his sparring partner, and I'll guide him from the side. He'll definitely improve very quickly."
"Grandpa, what about me?" Shen Xingmian asked quickly.
No, she really wanted to help Xiao Yanyue, but she couldn't leave herself behind! She also really wanted to learn the martial arts of this era.
That lightness skill was so cool, it came and went without a trace!
“You have no foundation, so you need individual instruction. Let your mother teach you first.”
Shen Zhiheng was also helpless about this. Of the four children in the family, only two could barely keep up with the pace of learning, which was a real headache.
Shen Xingmian nodded with a slight regret, knowing that there was nothing she could do, since she had no theoretical foundation and probably wouldn't understand even if she listened.
but……
"Huh, so Dao Dao has some martial arts skills?" She couldn't help but look at Xiao Yanyue with curiosity. Sure enough, the royal family's upbringing of their descendants was comprehensive.
"Of course, Your Highness is the best among all the young scholars in the capital in terms of poetry, calligraphy, horsemanship and archery. The late emperor praised him many times."
Shen Zhiheng spoke with a sense of pride, even though Xiao Yanyue's excellence at the time had nothing to do with him.
Xiao Yanyue did not deny it, and it seemed that she was already quite used to such praise.
Shen Xingmian liked his generous and open manner. If it were her, she would probably want to crawl into a hole and disappear if she were suddenly praised in front of a lot of people.
Although she didn't understand why being praised made her feel ashamed.
That's pretty strange.
