Chapter 1951 The Regent Princess is about to faint again
Shi Yu likes to practice martial arts, while Shi Xuan only loves playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Neither of them is like Shi Li, who wants to manage and even expand those industries wholeheartedly.
Hearing Shi Li say this, Shi Yuxian opened his eyes wide and looked at her in disbelief.
"Li'er, how could you think of this?"
After asking, he frowned and fell into deep self-blame, "It's all my fault..."
Shi Li also just realized that this brother actually had a very sensitive heart, and immediately said to him with a smile -
"Why should I blame you for this? I think it's a good idea to let Mammy help us manage our business. Besides, we have our own people outside, so no matter what happens in the future, we will be the first to know. We can't always rely on others, we have to rely on ourselves!"
Shi Yu and Shi Xuan were both silent.
They had been too well protected by their biological parents and had not learned anything they should have learned. After all, their biological parents thought that as long as the children grew up happily, that was all that mattered.
Now, let Shi Li tell his future plans first.
"Okay, Li'er is right. We really can't always live under someone else's roof." But Shi Yu was not stupid. He understood what Shi Li meant after just one thought and nodded heavily.
But afterwards, Shi Yu thought of more things.
The world is like this now. In the past three months, unlike his two sisters, he has not stayed at home. Occasionally when he goes out, he can hear people talking about things in the capital.
In just three months, the emperor arrested two more people. It was similar to what happened to the Gu family. Because of the things they had written, the emperor was suspicious of them, and they all ended up badly.
After returning home, Shi Yu tossed and turned all night and finally made a decision.
He wants to join the army!
Just like Shi Li said, the three siblings cannot always live under someone else's roof. As the eldest brother, he must achieve something in order to protect his two younger sisters from being bullied and to have a chance to rescue his parents in the future.
Once the decision was made, Shi Yu no longer hesitated. He called Shi Xuan and Shi Li over and told them his plan.
Since he is not good at literature, he can only join the army and strive for military merit!
"Brother!" Shi Xuan's first reaction was to stop him. Everyone knows that swords have no mercy on the battlefield. However, when the words came to his lips, he looked at Shi Yu's determined expression and swallowed them back.
Shi Li frowned. She wanted to stop him just now, but after thinking carefully, she felt that if Shi Yu did not find a way out for himself, he would be more miserable than her and Shi Xuan in the future.
Joining the army is indeed a way out.
"Wait for me to come back and support you! And mom and dad... our family must be reunited!"
Shi Yu made up his mind and stopped hesitating. He simply told the Su family. His aunt shed two tears and gave him some advice, then let him leave.
He also felt that now that the only male in the Shi family was gone, Shi Xuan and Shi Li would be easier to control in the future.
She didn't think there was any good outcome from going to the battlefield, and it was uncertain whether she could come back alive.
The literary inquisitions that had been going on for several months had made the pursuit of Gu Jinning much more relaxed. There were too many people to arrest, and even the imperial guards were a little overwhelmed.
After Shi Li let the two maids leave her side, she was gradually able to go out.
Anyway, the Su family didn't care about her and Shi Xuan. As long as they didn't cause trouble and didn't ask the Su family for anything, her aunt would never pay any attention to them.
In addition to the property left by her mother, Shi Li saved some money and opened a shop to sell rouge and powder, as well as handkerchiefs and sachets she embroidered herself.
Shi Xuan also supported her, and the two of them found an opportunity to go out and see if there was a suitable shop to rent.
Renting a shop is not an easy thing. The two looked outside for a long time but couldn't find a suitable one. At noon, they were tired and cold, so they found a teahouse to have some tea and rest.
When the teahouse waiter came to deliver the teapot, Shi Xuan was still complaining about the hard work and didn't even look at the waiter. But Shi Li, for some reason, seemed to sense something and looked towards the waiter.
The waiter bent down and respectfully placed the teapot on the table, then bent back without looking up.
Shi Li felt particularly familiar with him and looked at him seriously, her gaze finally falling on his hands.
His hands were slender and flawless, not like those of a teahouse waiter who had done too much rough work!
