Chapter 2428 Extra: Da Bao's Ambition
The rest of the Meng family agreed to this.
Madam He still wanted to continue living her life, and she was somewhat intimidated by her uncle's family. Although Meng Yunzheng didn't speak, Meng Pei had spoken, and she dared not disobey.
Although Tao still felt it was not good, he didn't say much.
So Tao returned to Chenggu County to avoid seeing He and feeling distressed.
Meng Han had secretly complained to Shu Yu that he felt his father's ability to find a wife had been passed down to her brother.
None of the wives they found were easy to marry.
Shu Yu secretly rubbed his forehead upon hearing this—your father's wife is your mother.
This time, Shu Yu and her group were going back to Chenggu County. The main purpose was to pay respects to Meng Yunzheng's mother, Song Xin, so they hadn't told Meng's uncle beforehand. Otherwise, knowing Meng's uncle's personality, he would definitely have come to the prefectural city.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you stay at our house tonight? Gan Rui's sister-in-law is still talking about you, and she's already prepared a room for you."
Shu Yu didn't really want to stay at someone else's house. Besides, even if she were to stay, she should stay at the Meng Family Escort Agency.
But as for the escort agency... Meng Qi went out on an escort mission, and as for Madam He, Shu Yu only met her once last year when Meng Han got married, so they weren't very familiar with each other.
Therefore, the Meng family's security escort agency did not want to go either.
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance and decided to stay at the inn.
Meng Han was a little disappointed, but Shu Yu laughed and said, "It's all the same wherever we live. Besides, our Mianmian is still young and noisy, so it's not convenient for her to live at the Gan family's house."
Mianmian puffed out her cheeks and said, "I'll be quiet." She didn't make a fuss at all.
Shu Yu's lips twitched. Don't you feel guilty saying that?
Meng Han didn't insist and followed them towards the inn.
Only people from Zhenglu Academy were in the inn. The caravan went directly to Luji Shop to unload the goods, since it would be troublesome to leave so many goods at the inn.
Meng Han had already heard about the purpose of the students from Zhenglu Academy's trip to the capital, but she was puzzled, "Why didn't I see Arui and the others?"
"They went on a trip, this time heading south, so they're not traveling with us."
Shu Rui, Er Niu, and Da Bao have become an unbreakable trio.
The three of them do everything together, and this trip south was mainly for Erniu.
Erniu was older than the two of them; he was already ten years old when Shu Yugang returned to his home. Now, nine years later, he's a grown man.
His academic talent is not as good as Shu Rui's, and he did not receive special tutoring from Meng Yunzheng at the beginning of his studies. In addition, he started school late and has not yet had a chance to take the exam.
At the beginning of this year, Meng Yunzheng tested his knowledge and felt that he could take the stage next year.
Before that, Erniu wanted to go out for a walk.
Shu Rui and Da Bao went with him. Shu Rui planned to take the provincial and prefectural examinations next year and try to bring home the title of Xiucai (a scholar who passed the county-level imperial examination).
As for Da Bao, he never had any ambitions in that area. At first, Madam Liang was disappointed in him, but later she gave up and said, "Whatever." Anyway, he's seventeen; if he's capable, he can get a wife.
Da Bao actually really wanted to get married, but after spending so much time with Shu Rui, some of his thoughts had subtly changed.
Shu Rui said that men should establish their careers before starting a family.
So Da Bao has recently been secretly thinking about opening a food shop to fulfill his long-cherished dream.
That's right, there were some issues with initial funding.
He decided to take advantage of his travels to borrow some money from his two brothers, especially from the wealthy Shu Rui family, from whom he received large red envelopes every year.
