Chapter 2246 Recognizing Another Top Scholar

When the three vehicles arrived outside the city, Zhao Xi and his group had already been waiting for a while.

The Hong family originally thought there wouldn't be many people, but when they got out of the car, they found that there was actually a convoy of cars.

Little Fire was squatting on the ground talking to a worm when it heard the sound of wheels. It immediately turned its head, dropped the twig in its hand, and ran over.

"Brother Lele, come here quickly, let me introduce you to our new friend."

Xiao Song got off the carriage and immediately went to greet him, but a question mark appeared on his forehead.

New friend? He knows everyone present, so who's the new friend?

Little Huo Huo had already pulled him towards the worm, but the worm was too small, and he had forgotten to mark it and couldn't see it. He walked straight over and looked down for a long time but couldn't find it. His head was spinning, and he sat down on the ground with a thud. Then, for some reason, he started giggling.

Zhao Xi was so exasperated by his son's stupidity that he rubbed his forehead, handed the boy over to Xiao Song Le, and went to Shu Yu's side.

Shu Yu was introducing people to Aunt Hong, "This is my sister, and these two are my cousins..."

Da Niu and Yuan Gui haven't left since they delivered the goods. Not only them, but the rest of the convoy also stayed in the capital.

Anyway, Shu Yu didn't plan to stay in the capital for long. It had only been half a month since the shop opened, so they decided to go back together.

Therefore, the group returning this time was quite large.

After Aunt Hong met with everyone, she urged the Hong family to go back.

The Hong family wanted to wait for them to leave before they left, but Shu Yu and the others got off the carriage and seemed to have no intention of leaving.

Aunt Hong asked, somewhat puzzled, "Aren't we setting off?"

"No rush, we still need to wait for a few more people."

Just as Aunt Hong was filled with suspicion, a carriage slowly drove out.

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Weinan carefully helped Xiao Ruojun out of the carriage.

"We're not too late, are we?"

Shu Yu hurriedly went to greet her, "You're pregnant, what are you doing out here?"

“We don’t know when we’ll see you again after you leave, so of course we have to see you off.” Xiao Ruojun held her hand. “It’s a pity I can’t attend your wedding.”

If she weren't pregnant, Xiao Ruojun felt she could have made this trip.

Shu Yu smiled and said, "Just stay home and rest during your pregnancy. When the baby is a little older, you can come to Dong'an Prefecture to play."

"Okay, I'll definitely go then."

While the group was talking, the Hong family members stared wide-eyed.

Yu Shi excitedly tugged at her husband's sleeve and whispered, "I recognize him! That's... that's the top scholar from the last time, Xiang Weinan."

It must be said that the Yu family's ability to identify the top scholar was truly first-rate.

"I remember hearing someone say that Lord Xiang is now serving as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"

"Pfft..." The Hong family gasped and looked at Xiang Weinan, who was chatting and laughing with Meng Yunzheng.

"It seems that Uncle Gouwa has a very good relationship with Master Xiang."

"They're more than just good; they look like brothers."

"Gouwa is really going to be rich in the future." He has a top scholar uncle, a county magistrate aunt, and it seems he also has close ties with high-ranking officials in the capital.

They are now filled with regret. If they had treated Gouwa better before, they might be receiving such warm hospitality now, just like Aunt Hong.

"Hey, two more carriages are coming this way, they seem to be heading this way."
