Chapter 2441 Extra Chapter: The Yao Family
Mianmian, in high spirits, began to tell Shuyu about the Xiang family's environment, "...the courtyard is bigger than the house, but...but not as big as Father's academy..."
The little one lay on Shu Yu's lap, tilting his head back and saying, "Mommy, Brother Dou Dou said the palace is even bigger. Can we go see it?"
Shu Yu, "..."
She thought for a moment, "If you want to go, ask your father. He will be going to the palace tomorrow. If the emperor agrees, then ask your father to take you."
“Okay.” Little Mianmian straightened up with bright eyes and took Huo Huo’s hand. “Brother, let’s go too.”
"Ask your father." Shu Yu acted like a hands-off manager, leaving all the troubles to her father.
Meng Yunzheng, who was riding his horse along the edge of the carriage, heard the conversation inside and smiled helplessly.
Going is definitely not a problem; the emperor has already instructed him to bring his daughter to the palace for a visit.
But there's no rush, it's still early.
When the family returned to the inn, everyone except Mr. Hejiang, who had gone to visit a friend, had returned.
Wei Qin bought a lot of things and looked a little nervous.
She hadn't seen Aunt Hong for a long time; Aunt Hong had taken good care of her back then. After returning from the Southwest, Shu Yu had informed Aunt Hong of this when her convoy came to Beijing to deliver goods.
In recent years, when Song Le wrote letters to Aunt Hong, Wei Qin would also say a few words.
Even so, she was still nervous. So she bought more things than she expected.
Song Le felt helpless. In her aunt's family's situation, even if they bought a lot of things, they would all end up in other people's hands.
That's what he thought, but seeing his mother's expression, he didn't stop her.
The next morning, Meng Yunzheng was going to the palace, Wei Qin and Song Le went to the Hong family, Yuan Gui took Kang Shuxian shopping, and the other students... went to Lu Ji.
They had long heard that there were two paintings by Mr. Shanju on the second floor of Luji, which is now a very famous spot for students to take photos.
Unfortunately, they were far away in Dong'an Prefecture and didn't have the chance to see it.
Now that I've finally come to the capital, I should at least go and admire the landscape paintings of their academy personally painted by Mr. Shanju. Let's see what the academy and sunflower fields they see every day look like in Mr. Shanju's paintings.
As she watched the group discuss and head out towards Lu Ji, Shu Yu couldn't help but turn back to look at Meng Yunzheng, who remained calm as if it were none of her business, and silently sympathized with these clueless students.
After everyone had left, Shu Yu took the two children and got into the carriage, heading straight for the Yao family.
Mrs. Yao had been waiting for a long time and was overjoyed to see the two children.
"You've finally arrived! This must be Mianmian, she's so beautiful. And Huohuo, you've grown so tall in the years we haven't seen you."
The two children greeted people politely, which pleased Madam Yao greatly, and she gave each of them a large red envelope.
Then, holding one in each hand, they happily went into the house.
As they walked, Madam Yao said to Shu Yu, "Ever since Mu Mu left with her parents, this house has become much quieter. I often think about going to find them, but when I think of your Uncle Yao all alone at home, I can't bear to leave him. Sigh, if only I hadn't listened to your Uncle Yao and left Yao Bo and the others in the capital."
"Uncle Yao is just thinking about Brother Yao's best interests. It's always good to go out and gain experience. In a few years, when he has gained some experience, he can come back with a little more effort."
Madam Yao sighed, "I hope he can come back."
