On the day of the house raid, it snowed heavily in the capital. When the Imperial Guards broke open the gate of the Hou Mansion, everyone was in a panic - the female family members were crying, the servants fled, and the married aunt was abandoned by her husband's family on the spot and thrown into the snow. Only Shen Jinyuan stood quietly in the corridor, holding the stove and looking at the young commander wearing a black cloak. She was the eldest daughter's legitimate daughter, and the imperial doctor declared that she was a "sick young child" who would not live to be thirty. I have been hiding for fifteen years, not fighting or robbing, just seeking peace. But on this day, the sky fell. The uncle was sentenced to death, his father and brother were exiled to Lingnan, their family property was confiscated, and the clan members were scattered. In the Yongning Hou Mansion, which used to be bustling with cars and horses, only a group of old, weak, women and children were left, and they were given a three-day deadline to move out. When everyone was crying and trying to find a way out and someone to support them, this sickly legitimate daughter who never said anything knelt in front of her grandmother and said, "Grandma, I will take charge of this family." No one believed her. How can you feed a large family with a medicine jar? Until she took her tribe to Po Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, took stock of the remaining food, and showed her trump card - the private house she had quietly saved over the years was enough to survive the entire winter. She grew vegetables in greenhouses, raised fish in ponds, and sold candied fruits in Beijing... She used modern thinking and led a group of helpless women and children to build a new business on the ruins. The business is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are jealous. Colleagues smashed up shops, powerful people stumbled upon her, and some even targeted her. But she is not afraid. Because I don't know when, that cold-faced commander who ransacked her house would always appear when she needed it most——
When the road was blocked on a snowy night, he came on horseback; when a fire broke out in the workshop, he led people to put out the fire; when someone forced her to be a concubine, he said in public: "I will protect the Shen family daughter."

This book is good. The only problem is that I finished reading it after Chapter 3. I don't know if it's because I didn't understand it or... Jin Yuan is the eldest daughter of Dafang. How could she have an uncle? Who is his father? Been thinking about this question.
