Chapter 2251: Chapter 2251: Sharing the Good News with Mother
The two children nearly collapsed, but fortunately, before long, the carriage finally stopped for a break to eat.
Mumu heard Ms. Kang’s voice from outside and swiftly climbed out of the carriage as if freed, tightly hugging Ms. Kang’s neck, refusing to let go.
Ms. Kang hesitated for a moment, looked at Shu Yu, and laughed, "Isn’t the child very restless? I thought this child was in Ah You’s carriage, but it turns out all three ran to yours."
Shu Yu waved at Mumu, "They’re not restless at all; they’ve been so well-behaved. They slept for about an hour in the carriage, and when they woke up, they just listened to me recite books. They’re especially adorable."
Ms. Kang, "..." She looked at her son in shock, wondering if Yu was pulling her leg.
That evening, Ms. Kang realized that Shu Yu was not wrong, and not only she knew it, but Zhao Xi also regretted it immensely.
Since that day, Little Huohuo and Mumu have not stayed in her carriage for half a day.
Even Little Song Le would occasionally be taken by the two families to play with the two children.
Without these few children, the carriage felt empty, leaving Aunt Hong rather uncomfortable.
Especially when she occasionally saw Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu holding hands, she felt like joining Ying Xi and Xia Yan outside on the cart beam.
Therefore, a few days later, Aunt Hong decided to ride on the mule carriage with new friends she had made over the past two days.
Whether from the Wan Family or the Yao Family, it’s impossible for the masters to travel without attendants.
However, for a light and straightforward journey, both families brought along an old woman and a maid, plus a coachman.
With not many people, every time they stopped to rest, they would quickly start preparing food and attending to the masters.
Aunt Hong couldn’t stay idle and joined them in their busy work, gradually becoming familiar with the two old women.
Both sides lived in the Capital, and with their similar ages, Aunt Hong enjoyed herself, sharing laughs and conversations with them.
Eventually, she just rode along with them.
Shu Yu thought it was good; when Aunt Hong returned to the Capital, she could still maintain connections with these old women from both families. Now that they have a good relationship, they will certainly look after her in the future.
With three children on the journey, everyone had a pleasant temperament. The travel was lively and not lonely at all.
Soon, the convoy arrived at Changjin Prefecture.
Because Meng Yunzheng’s household registration was at the Meng family in Chenggu County, Changjin Prefecture, the announcement of his top scorer status, complete with gongs and drums, was spread throughout the prefecture and ultimately delivered to the Meng family escort agency.
Everyone was aware that Meng Yunzheng topped six consecutive examinations, and aside from feeling proud, during this period, Meng Yunzheng became the topic of conversation among all the prefecture’s and county town’s residents.
Originally, everyone thought Meng Yunzheng, having topped the scorer list, would stay in the Capital for an official position, but unexpectedly, he came back.
Meng Yunzheng didn’t intend to make a scene, but the convoy was too large, and some sharp-eyed individuals recognized Daniu and Xia Yan sitting on the cart beam, so everyone knew their prefecture’s Master Top Scorer had returned.
The threshold of the Meng family escort agency was nearly worn out by visitors, and Uncle Meng deployed all the remaining escorts in the agency to barely hold back the old acquaintances and neighbors wanting to visit Master Top Scorer.
Aside from meeting a few uncles who had good relations with his father, Meng Yunzheng didn’t see anyone else.
They stayed in Chenggu County for a day, firstly to pay respects at Song Xin’s grave, to tell her about her son winning the top scorer and the upcoming joyous event of his marriage. Secondly, they were there to pick up Uncle Meng’s family and head to Dongan Province for the wedding feast.
