“It’s that young man!” Cai Xiaolian looked over and nodded.
"Hey! Meng Meng! Over here, over here!" Gu Nian waved and shouted.
Cai Xiaolian glanced at Gu Nian in surprise. Could it be that this girl has taken a liking to this young man?
She had previously said that this was one of her favorite characters in the book.
"Aunt Lian, Miss Gu, what are you doing here? Buying things? Let me take them back for you. I'm looking for my second uncle!" Meng Meng ran over with a small bundle on his shoulder, looked around the furniture store, and then asked.
"This is a shop opened by their fourth uncle's master, and we've come to support them. Oh, by the way, this is the children's Aunt Xiaohuan, you see..." Cai Xiaolian paused for a moment. Yang Xiaohuan was about the same age as Meng Meng, and she couldn't let someone call a girl her age "aunt"!
"Miss Xiao Huan, it's a pleasure to meet you! My name is Meng Meng, and we'll probably have to get to know each other better in the future! I've come to stay with my second uncle!" Meng Meng clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Nice to meet you!" Yang Xiaohuan clasped her hands in greeting.
“By the way, Mother, Father went to Taoyuan County today, right? Why don’t we sisters take them to the estate to make arrangements first? We’ll come back from the back mountain in a bit,” Gu Nian said.
“Okay, you guys go ahead! I’ll go back to the village with your Aunt Xiaohuan in a bit.” Cai Xiaolian nodded.
They already had indentures of Meng Meng and his group, and Gu Shouxin trusted Meng Meng. Moreover, the sisters were all quite skilled and possessed four deadly weapons, so she had nothing to worry about.
It would be better to take the main road to the village and avoid passing through Sanchakou Village, as she was finding it difficult to deal with the questions from the village women.
“Meng Meng, let’s go! My sisters and I will take you to the place my father mentioned. We have a donkey cart. You can call the old people and women to ride with us. You can drive! I see you have an oxcart. Put all your things on the oxcart, okay?” Gu Nian immediately made the arrangements.
“Alright! Then I’ll trouble you ladies, Miss Gu!” Meng Meng nodded.
He was with seven women in total. Four of them were older, in their late twenties or early thirties. There were two young girls, around ten years old, and only one, about the same age as Gu Hui, was very pretty and was probably the fiancée who would betray him.
With eleven people in the car, it was still a bit crowded. Gu Hui pulled Gu Si to sit outside and went to catch the train with Meng Meng.
"Miss Hui, are you looking down on me? Do you think I'm no good at driving? Let me tell you, I've driven all kinds of carriages except dragon carriages!" Meng Meng said unhappily, thinking that Gu Hui was looking down on his driving skills.
"Have you ever driven a tiger cart? A pig cart? A sheep cart? A dog cart?" Gu Hui looked at Meng Meng speechlessly.
"What? There are tiger carriages, pig carriages, sheep carriages, and dog carriages? Pig, sheep, and dog carriages are fine, but tiger carriages? Miss Hui, don't exaggerate! I don't believe you can drive one!" Meng Meng's eyes widened. How come this girl is even better at bragging than him?
"I never said I'd driven one! Didn't you say you'd driven every kind of vehicle except dragon carriages? I'm asking you this, aren't I?" Gu Hui glanced at Meng Meng indifferently.
Meng Meng's dark face flushed red. He had blown his tongue out. "Miss Hui is so clever! Besides oxen, horses, and donkeys, she's managed to come up with so many carts all at once."
"Brother Meng, my sister and I have never walked this road before, so we came out to enjoy the scenery," Gu Si said with a smile.
She couldn't say it was crowded inside, so she had to use this excuse.
Meng Meng scratched his head and gave an awkward laugh. It turned out he had misunderstood. The young lady wasn't complaining that he hadn't driven the carriage well!
Gu Nian, who was in the car, also didn't expect that Meng Meng in the book would be like this.
Indeed, people's temperament changes once they experience a major upheaval.
If Gu Nian hadn't read the book and known the name, and if she hadn't seen Lu Zheng's attitude, she would never have believed that this simpleton was the ruthless and decisive general under the male protagonist in the book, who struck fear into the hearts of the enemy.
