When they got close to the barbecue area, Gu Nian tried to get off the ground and walk by herself.
Yes, she remembered it deeply. As the older sister, she couldn't lead her younger sister astray. Just like her grandparents and father always told her, "Don't corrupt your younger sister."
The others were chatting happily when Xue Qianyu and Gu Nian joined their conversation.
Right now, Meng Meng is telling everyone about some of the small missions he participated in before, such as taking down the enemy's city wall and killing a group of enemy scouts.
He then described the weather in the Cloud Kingdom, saying that you need a blanket to sleep at night and it's so hot during the day that you just want to wear shorts.
He also mentioned the salt fields that Gu Xin had discovered earlier, but he had mistaken them for lakes at the time, and since he was wet, he didn't go to check them out.
After arriving in Kuncheng, he said that the scenery here is very beautiful. He said that when he brought his three brothers here, they saw a place on the way where the water was very pure. The blue and green surrounding scenery was reflected in the water, just like two identical paintings.
The three girls, including Gu Xin, listened with great longing.
Then Gu Xin clenched her little fist and declared, "I must explore the entire Kunzhou next year!"
Huo Yanyu thought to herself, "I want one too."
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "I'll take you there when I have time. I know most of the place around here."
Gu Xin's eyes lit up: "Really?! Yuan Yuan, you're amazing! Do you own a house in Kunzhou like you do in other places?"
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow: "You know that too!"
Gu Xin was taken aback: "Oh, really? Then I'm still so far away from you!"
Lu Zheng: "?"
We're so close, what's the distance?
Gu Si laughed from the side, "Brother Yuan, Third Sister's little goal is to earn money to buy houses in various places, just like you, to have houses and shops in every prefecture of the Great Zhou!"
Lu Zheng laughed: "Hahahaha, that's great! I have another goal, which is to become the richest man in Da Zhou. Xin Xin, do you want to be like me?"
Gu Xin pouted: "Brother Yuanyuan, please stop setting goals, okay? It's so hard to catch up with you!"
Lu Zheng pinched Gu Xin's cheek: "Okay, okay, I won't set any goals. Xin Xin, you can take your time pursuing her. I believe you'll be richer than me in two years."
After pinching her cheeks, he continued to feed Gu Xin.
Gu Nian smirked, "Aren't you afraid of feeding little Xin Xin into a chubby Xin Xin?"
The group started chatting again.
Huo Junhao then talked about his plans in Kuncheng.
He is fifteen years old this year and plans to work in Kuncheng until he is twenty, finish developing Kunzhou, and then return to the capital to become a third-rank official.
Well, if the plan succeeds, he will be the first third-rank official in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty to reach the age of twenty. Of course, he will not be able to compare with military generals, who can rise quickly after winning a battle, while it is difficult for civil officials to get promoted.
Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu then asked, "How do you plan to build it?"
Gu Nian was also quite curious about this. In her impression, the Huo family were all loyal officials, and civil officials at that. They were all capable candidates for the cabinet. Huo Junhao had the ability, but he was a bit too ambitious and didn't like being restrained. Surprisingly, he actually wanted to be a good official.
Huo Junhao calmly replied, "I don't have any plans! I'll listen to my second uncle. I'm like a sharp sword in his hand now, I'll go wherever he points, I'll do whatever he tells me to do! My second uncle is a benefactor in my life. By following him, I can complete my family's tasks without having to use my brain, isn't that great!"
Everyone: ...
When you get home, tell your benefactor that you need to put your brain to work.
