Chapter 2110 Seeking Zhao Xi's Help
At that time, the Lu family was outside the city gate, preparing to say goodbye to Meng Yunzheng, who was going to the capital to participate in the imperial examination.
Today is only the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, but Meng Yunzheng can't delay any longer. All the candidates who went to the capital for the imperial examinations set off early, but he will only start his journey after the New Year.
Time was of the essence, and Meng Yunzheng planned to reach his destination as quickly as possible without stopping. This meant he couldn't travel with Shu Yu. After all, Shu Yu needed to take Xiao Song Le with her and wouldn't leave until after the New Year; there were still many things to do at the workshop.
However, Meng Yunzheng and Xia Yan were not the only ones on this trip; Zhao Xi also joined them this time.
Zhao Xi used to know a medicinal herb merchant in the capital who had a large supply of herbs, including some rare and unusual ones. Now that he was opening a clinic in partnership with someone, the clinic naturally needed to have a comprehensive selection of herbs.
Some common medicinal herbs are easy to find, but rarer ones are always out of stock. Of course, he could buy them in the prefectural city, but they were too expensive. Jiangyuan County was ultimately just a county clinic; wealthy families could manage, but ordinary people would run out of medicine after buying just two doses.
Zhao Xi didn't want to ruin his reputation, and since Meng Yunzheng was going to the capital to participate in the imperial examination, he decided to go as well.
His ambitions didn't stop at buying medicine cheaply from the herbalist; he also wanted to buy wholesale and resell it to clinics in nearby counties, which would also generate income.
Now that Lu Ji Workshop has a fleet of vehicles, it occasionally travels to and from the capital to deliver goods. Wouldn't that be perfect for transporting the medicinal herbs back on the return trip?
This way, he doesn't need to worry about his delivery channels, and Lu Ji's truck fleet can make another profit, achieving the best of both worlds.
Well... this time Meng Yunzheng plans to ride a horse to the capital. Just thinking about spending the next few days on horseback, Zhao Xi felt his buttocks starting to ache.
But when his gaze fell on Shuyou, who was holding her son, he silently straightened his chest. To support his family, even if he were to break into four pieces, it would be worth it.
Meng Yunzheng had already mounted his horse and said to Shu Yu, "Alright, we have to go now. You guys go back first."
"Alright, have a safe journey. We'll head to the capital after the Lantern Festival."
Meng Yunzheng smiled and nodded, ready to set off.
Li Anqing, Li's nephew from her maternal family, arrived at this time.
Just as Meng Yunzheng pulled on the reins, a familiar shout suddenly came from not far away, "Ayu, Ayu..."
Meng Yunzheng immediately pulled on the horse and turned his head to look in another direction.
Everyone saw Lu Dasong driving a mule cart hurriedly towards them at high speed, and it looked like he was about to lose control. Suddenly, Meng Yunzheng fell off his horse, jumped onto the cart shaft, grabbed the reins, and barely managed to stop the mule cart. With his other hand, he grabbed Lu Dasong, who was about to fall off.
The dramatic scene made everyone hold their breath, but thankfully, nothing serious happened.
The old lady clutched her chest and let out a long sigh. Seeing Lu Da relax, she immediately went over to him. "If you're going to catch the carriage, why are you rushing? Are you out of your mind? If it weren't for A-Yun, what would you have done?"
Lu Dasong took a few deep breaths and it took him a while to steady himself. "I was a bit too hasty and startled the mule. I couldn't hold it back for a moment."
"Are you in such a hurry to get pregnant?"
Lu Dasong shook his head repeatedly, "No, I came here urgently to find Zhao Xi to save my life."
"Help?" The old woman exclaimed in surprise. "What happened?"
