Chapter 2414 He won't be back for five or six years.
This was the emperor's first lecture at the Imperial Academy since taking office. Ever since the Second Prince's power was dismantled and he was beheaded, Da Su had become peaceful.
Over the years, both the economy and the military have seen significant development.
Now, it's clear the emperor wants to promote education.
For both public and private reasons, Meng Yunzheng will not miss this lecture.
Come to think of it, it's been four years since he last went to the capital. Mianmian is almost three years old this year, so it wouldn't hurt to take her to the capital for a visit, and also to see some old friends.
Meng Yunzheng had made all the arrangements, but Meng Pei let out a heavy sigh.
"If you leave, won't I miss seeing Mianmian for a long time?"
He's still working at a security escort agency in the county town. Ever since he had a granddaughter, he's mostly been doing short trips. But this time, he's encountered a long journey south, a place Meng Pei is familiar with, and the head镖师 (chief escort) wants him to go with him.
The people in the escort agency had already taken good care of him over the years, so Meng Pei naturally couldn't refuse.
I'm worried that I won't see my granddaughter for a long time and that she might forget about me when she comes back.
When Mianmian heard her name, she raised her head blankly. There were still a few grains of rice on her lips. She used her little finger to brush them away and put them back in her mouth. Then she lowered her head and continued eating, almost burying her whole face in the bowl.
Every time Meng Pei saw her eating, he felt an extra appetite, as if the food, which was no different from usual, tasted much better.
He smiled, looked away, and then went on to discuss the specifics of the trip.
Amidst the conversation of the others, Xiao Mianmian finished all the food in her bowl. She sighed contentedly, raised her head, and was about to wipe her mouth with her sleeve in a grand gesture.
As soon as she raised her head, she felt an undeniable gaze upon her.
The little girl slowly turned her head and saw her mother looking at her with a smile.
She blinked twice, silently lowered her hand, and then looked at Meng Yunzheng sitting beside her. "Father, I'm full."
Meng Yunzheng suppressed a laugh and took a handkerchief to wipe her face.
Little Mianmian tilted her head back, cleaned her mouth, and got off the high chair. She waved to the three of them and said, "Mommy, Daddy, Grandpa, I'm going to sleep now."
"Go."
Ying Xi came over, took her hand, and led her out the door, heading straight to the Lu family's house.
Just as I entered the gate, a figure rushed over quickly, "Mianmian, I'm here."
Xiao Mianmian turned her head, saw the person who came, and excitedly stomped her foot, "Brother!"
Huo Huo is five and a half years old this year, which is the time when he is most energetic. As soon as he came over, he picked up Mianmian and spun her around twice. Ying Xi was so scared that he quickly reached out to protect her, afraid that he would drop her.
"Brother, it's been so long since I've seen you. How have you been?"
Huo Huo put her down, scratched his head, and asked, "Has it been a long time? Didn't we just see each other yesterday afternoon?"
Well, Mianmian is still young. If she says it will take a long time, then it will take a long time. Maybe her time is different from others.
Huo Huo took her hand and walked towards Yu Garden. "I'm fine, how about you?"
"Mianmian isn't feeling well."
"Huh?" Huo Huo asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Sigh." The little guy sighed with great concern. "Daddy said we're going to the capital, which is a very, very far place."
She gestured, "It's so far away, I might not be able to come back for five or six years."
