Chapter 2247: The Yao Family Also Joins

The Hong family turned their heads and indeed saw those two carriages stopping in front of Shu Yu.

Meng Yunzheng and Xiang Weinan stepped forward, bowing to the person who had just gotten down from the carriage. "Lord Wan."

Minister Wan returned the greeting and then helped Hou Shi down from the carriage.

He said to Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu, "I entrust Madam and Ah Qing to you."

Hou Shi and Shu Qing would be accompanying Shu Yu back to Dong'an Prefecture for the wedding. Along with them was Shu Qing's husband and Minister Wan's trusted guard.

The Hong family members were puzzled, "Who is this again?"

"I don't know; I heard Meng Xiangyuan call him Lord Wan." The Hong family members were just common folks and had only come into contact with Xiang Weinan because he had been a top scholar who had ridden a horse through the streets in the past, and his handsome appearance had left a deep impression.

Minister Wan was not someone they had a chance to interact with.

"I see Lord Wan treats him with great respect; he must hold a high official position."

"Oh, look, more carriages are coming."

"Wow, why are there so many?"

As they were talking, two more carriages stopped. Minister Wan turned and smiled, saying, "Lord Yao has also arrived."

The Hong family members, "..." Another Lord?

What on earth was happening? Were all these lords and important people so familiar with Meng Xiangyuan? This kid was truly something, knowing so many important figures!!

While Minister Yao was speaking with Meng Yunzheng, on the other side, Madam Yao and the Kang Shi let out long breaths of relief and said to Shu Yu, "We finally caught up."

It wasn't their fault that the three families arrived late; it was mainly because Xiang Weinan and the others had to attend court and could only come afterward.

Although Xiang Weinan was walking slowly due to concerns for the pregnant Xiao Shi, he didn't have much to pack. The carriage came directly for him.

However, Hou Shi and her daughter, as well as the Yao family, had to pack their belongings, so they naturally arrived later.

Indeed, in addition to Hou Shi and her daughter accompanying Shu Yu to Dong'an Prefecture, there was also Yao Bo and the Kang Shi, a total of three people planning to join the journey.

Yao Bo was studying at the National Academy, but he had been a bit restless in recent months, not satisfied with his academic performance. His teacher had suggested he go out and take a break. Since Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu were about to get married, he decided to accompany them to relax and, as Meng Yunzheng was the top scholar, to seek his guidance in academics. Especially since two eminent scholars were soon to preside over his Zenglu Academy. It was said that the scholars were coming from two different places, and by the time they arrived at Dong'an Prefecture, the two great scholars would be there too. So, Yao Bo wanted the opportunity to receive guidance from both scholars.

Moreover, Little Huohuo had been getting along well with his son during this time and had become inseparable, so it made sense to travel together.

Madam Yao also wanted to go, but if she left, the household would only have Yao Tianqin left, which would be a bit lonely.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Meng Yunzheng didn't delay any longer and instructed everyone to board the carriages.

"Let's depart; we don't want to miss our accommodations for the night."

"Yes, yes, don't delay. Get on the carriage." Yao Tianqin pulled Madam Yao, urging her not to hold onto her grandson and let them get on the carriage. Then, she told Yao Bo, "If you can lend a hand on the way, do so. You're going on a journey, not being a young master; don't let others do all the work."

Yao Bo smiled wryly, "Dad, I've experienced hardships before; you don't need to worry. Rest assured, I'll take care of my wife and son. You can go back."

With the father and son bidding farewell here, on the other side, after the Yao family's child had been separated from his grandmother's embrace, he had already climbed onto Little Huohuo's carriage with quick movements.
