Shen Xingmian was finally brought back to her senses by her mother's prompting.
"Girl, are you crazy?"
Shen Yunting saw her daughter alone by the donkey cart, walking along while seemingly lost in thought. At first, she didn't intend to disturb her.
But seeing that she didn't change much for a long time, I thought my daughter had evolved the ability to sleep while walking.
Shen Xingmian then came to her senses and looked at her mother with her eyes, asking what was wrong.
"I've discussed it with your father. We need to buy some winter clothes and put them in your space first, because we might have to escape before we can go to the city again. We need to prepare in advance."
After saying that, she hesitated for a moment before continuing, "But daughter, wouldn't it be too conspicuous for you to buy so many things by yourself? What if someone keeps an eye on you? Wouldn't that be troublesome?"
Shen Xingmian had also thought about this problem, so she immediately shook her head and said, "It's okay, Mother. I'll go separately from them and disguise myself so that no one will recognize me before I go shopping."
Hearing her daughter say that, Shen Yunting felt somewhat relieved, but...
"Girl, you've got this skill too! Can you really disguise yourself so well that no one recognizes you? Not strangers, but even acquaintances?"
Seeing the obvious eagerness in her mother's eyes, Shen Xingmian knew that her mother was tempted. It seemed that her mother had quite a few bad things to do.
She nodded with a grin: "Next time we go out together, I'll help Mom change things up a bit, and then you'll see what I'm capable of!"
Shen Yunting nodded hurriedly. She was always careless and didn't even know how to do a woman's makeup properly. She couldn't even apply rouge evenly. When she heard that her daughter had this skill, she was immediately very excited.
Fortunately, she usually stayed with her father in the army, so no one noticed her when she went out without makeup. If she were in the capital every day, enjoying flowers and tea with noble ladies, she would definitely be overwhelmed.
To be fair, those noble ladies, when dressed up, were truly as beautiful as flowers. Even she felt a pang of pity upon seeing them, let alone the men.
If she could dress like that, wouldn't she make her husband completely infatuated?
Although my husband said he liked her the way she was, the fact that women in the world love things that enhance their appearance means that they are indeed useful.
Since it's useful, why not learn it?
She had considered this idea before, but there was no one she could ask for help. Her sister-in-law always stayed indoors, and she felt embarrassed to bother her.
As for the two maids, Liuyun and Xuanyue, who were by my side, they knew absolutely nothing about these things. They only knew how to style their hair in one particular bun, which I had to teach them myself...
well.
Now that he had finally discovered a hidden master, and it was his own daughter, Shen Yunting was quite excited.
She's already looking forward to her daughter's suggestion to "go out together next time."
Looking at the stars in her mother's eyes, Shen Xingmian suddenly realized that not only do men remain boys until death, but women also have a little girl living inside them.
However, her mother doesn't usually give off the impression of a delicate young girl.
But who says that one's outward appearance must be consistent with one's inner aesthetic sense?
She thinks it's good to be like her mother; occasionally changing your appearance can bring a different kind of freshness to the people you like, isn't that great?
The two discussed the purchase again and almost finalized the details.
Others can only give a general direction; as for how to act specifically, it depends on Shen Xingmian's own decision.
She had no experience shopping in ancient times; all she knew was how to buy everything.
For tomorrow's operation, the most important thing for her is to keep her hands to herself and not end up emptying someone else's hard-earned shop.
With people coming and going all day, it's really scary.
Ha ha ha ha.
This idea made Shen Xingmian laugh.
Fortunately, she lowered her head in time and didn't laugh out loud, but from an angle where no one could see, she revealed a set of small white teeth.
After a tedious afternoon of walking, even with the help of the supernatural water, Shen Xingmian was feeling somewhat dazed. She was still at an age where she needed to grow and really needed sleep.
I'm so sleepy, I really want to sleep.
Fortunately, we are getting further and further away from the capital, and there shouldn't be any more of XX's manor or XX's villa nearby. Otherwise, my grandfather, who had been lying down all day, would definitely have dragged me out for a walk again.
She was really too tired to do anything else; all she wanted was to get some sleep, the kind where she wouldn't be disturbed by anyone.
As soon as the group stopped, Shen Xingmian took out the straw mat her cousin had prepared for her, spread it out under the shade of a tree, and fell asleep immediately.
Looking at her daughter's tired appearance, Shen Yunting felt extremely distressed. Others might not know, but she, as her daughter's mother who knew all her secrets, did.
My daughter has to travel with everyone during the day and take her grandfather to distant places at night, so she doesn't get enough sleep at all.
They gave up their spot on the donkey cart, and even though they were exhausted, they insisted on walking with them and keeping an eye on everyone's condition. They were so thoughtful and caring that it broke my heart.
When dinner was ready, Shen Xingyan wanted to call her cousin to get up and eat, but her aunt stopped her.
"She hasn't been sleeping well these past two days, so let her sleep a little longer. It's okay if she eats after she wakes up."
Shen Xingyan obediently nodded and even filled a bamboo tube with porridge for her younger sister, making sure she wasn't hungry.
Back when Shen Xingmian was still mentally challenged, Shen Xingyan took good care of her, often visiting her room to keep her from feeling bored.
Now that I see my younger sister has suddenly become clever and intelligent, I like her even more.
It's just that conditions aren't good now, otherwise all those "treasures" she used to collect would have been shared with her sister long ago.
Shen Xingmian vaguely heard their conversation, but she couldn't open her eyes. After understanding what her mother meant, she went back to sleep.
My mother is so good.
She had heard her classmates complain that her mother was particularly annoying. Every time she came home for vacation, her mother would call her to eat at seven in the morning. She was so sleepy that she could barely speak, and her mother would keep calling her.
When she was finally woken up, she said irritably, "I'm so sleepy, I'll eat by myself when I'm awake." Then her mother, as if a switch had been flipped, began to unleash a torrent of words—
Who am I cooking for all this morning? Huh? I've already put the food on the table for you guys, and I have to beg you three or four times before you come to eat, and then you give me the cold shoulder. What do I owe you? What's wrong with you if you just eat and then go back to sleep?
Then she could only sit at the dinner table, stuffing her food into her mouth like a lost soul, while her mother continued her nagging, which ultimately made the whole family very unhappy.
She didn't understand why they could argue so many times over something as simple as eating.
She said she had no appetite in the morning and just wanted to sleep in. Why can't she even have such a small request at home?
Will I starve to death if I don't eat breakfast at 7 a.m.?
