The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

The Hong Family all turned their heads, and sure enough, saw those two carriages stop right in front of Shu Yu.

Meng Yunzheng and Xiang Weinan stepped forward and cupped their hands toward the person getting off the carriage. ”Lord Wan.”

Lord Wan returned the salute, then turned around and helped Madam Hou down.

He said to Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu, ”I’ll be entrusting Aunt Hou and Ah Qing to you two.”

Madam Hou and Shu Qing would both follow Shu Yu back to Dongan Province to attend the wedding, and coming along as well was Shu Qing’s husband, Lord Wan’s most trusted guard.

The Hong Family were full of suspicion. ”And who’s this now?”

”No idea. I think I heard Top Scholar Meng call him Lord Wan.” The Hong Family were, after all, just common folk; they only knew Xiang Weinan because he too had once ridden through the streets as the top scorer, and he was good-looking, which left a deep impression.

Lord Wan was not someone they would ever have a chance to come into contact with.

”I saw Lord Xiang being all respectful to him; his rank definitely isn’t low.”

”Hey, hey, there are more carriages coming.”

”Goodness, why are there so many?”

As they spoke, another two carriages pulled up. Lord Wan turned his head and laughed. ”Lord Yao is here too.”

The Hong Family, ”...” Yet another lord?

Damn, what on earth is going on—are all these lords... all very close with Top Scholar Meng and County Lord Lu?

Gouwa is really something, knowing so many big shots!!

While Lord Yao was talking with Meng Yunzheng, over on the side, Madam Yao and Ms. Kang let out a long breath of relief and said to Shu Yu, ”We finally made it.”

You couldn’t really blame the three families for being late; mainly, Xiang Weinan and the others all had to attend court, and only came after it was dismissed.

Although Xiang Weinan was mindful of the pregnant woman and walked slowly, he had nothing to pack, so his carriage could just come straight over.

But Madam Hou and her daughter, as well as the Yao Family, all had to pack their things, so of course they were a bit late.

That’s right—besides Madam Hou and her daughter going along to Dongan Province this time, Yao Po and Ms. Kang, the family of three, also planned to go with them.

Yao Po was studying at the Imperial College, but in the past few months he had been a little restless and impatient, and his essays weren’t turning out very well. His teacher suggested he go out and travel a bit. And now that Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu were getting married, he would tag along to relax his mind.

Moreover, Meng Yunzheng was the top scorer, and he could also seek his advice on learning. Especially since there would soon be two great scholars taking charge at his Zhenglu Academy—word had it the teachers had already set out from two different places. By the time they reached Dongan Province, the two teachers would likely have arrived as well. He also hoped that by going this time, he’d have a chance to receive guidance from them.

Just so happened, Little Huohuo and his son had been playing together so well lately that they were almost inseparable, so they might as well all go to Dongan Province together.

Madam Yao also wanted to go, but if she left, there would only be Yao Tianqin alone at home, which seemed rather pitiful.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Meng Yunzheng didn’t delay any further and called for everyone to get into the carriages.

”Let’s set off, so we don’t miss a place to stay for the night.”

”Yes, yes, yes, let’s not waste time, get in the carriage.” Yao Tianqin pulled on Madam Yao, stopping her from clinging to her little grandson, and hurried them into the carriage. Then he instructed Yao Po, ”Help out where you can along the way. You’re going to travel and study, not to play the Eldest Young Master. Don’t leave everything to others.”

Yao Po couldn’t help laughing. ”Dad, it’s not like I’ve never suffered before. I won’t be all talk and no action. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of my wife and son. You two should head back.”

While father and son were saying their farewells over here, the Yao Family’s little boy, once out of his grandmother’s arms, had already clambered up into Huohuo’s carriage in a flash.
