Chapter 258 Here We Go
"Wow!!! It's finally here!"
Mingyue looked at Minzhou which was so close and cheered continuously.
When coming from the capital, Mingyue was wrapped in a thick cloak. Gradually feeling the warmth of the south, she changed into a thin cotton coat. Mingyue really liked the climate here.
Jiang Mengrou and her group were in the queue for disembarking, moving slowly, but they soon found the carriage waiting for them not far away.
Mingyue was held tightly in Zhao Yunshan's arms. There were many people around, so it was better to be careful.
A few days ago, this family would disguise themselves, but now they are in Minzhou, so it’s no big deal if they are discovered.
Finally reaching the shore, it feels so good to have my feet on solid ground! Mingyue sighed with emotion. She looked at the people coming and going at the ferry: merchants traveling from far and wide, migrant workers with families, and scholars carrying book baskets...
Everyone gathered here. After all, Minzhou was the largest port in Da Zhou, and there were passenger ships going everywhere.
As soon as I got off the boat, I saw the people from the general's mansion who came to meet me and squeezed to the front, "Master, Madam, the eldest son, the second son, and the young lady!"
They hadn't seen the young master of the general's mansion for a long time, so they couldn't help but feel excited when they suddenly met.
After getting on the carriage, Mingyue happily lifted the curtain and looked at the street outside the window that was constantly receding, overwhelmed.
"Flat meatballs~Fragrant and chewy flat meat soup~"
"Freshly baked oyster omelet, three cents a piece~"
"Fuzhou meat dumpling, the skin is full of stuffing~"
These shouts reached Mingyue's ears, and her mouth unconsciously secreted saliva, "How come there are so many delicious foods in Minzhou!"
"It's okay, just average." Minghao said somewhat coldly.
Jiang Mengrou covered her mouth and smiled, "Oh, I don't know who it is, but he just came and clamored to eat this and that. Could it be that I dreamed about this?"
Several people burst into laughter. Although Jiang Mengrou didn't mention anyone by name, it was obvious that she was referring to Ming Hao. He was so embarrassed that he got out of the carriage and sat on the shaft to feel the cold wind.
They soon arrived at their new residence. A large sign at the entrance read "Mighty General's Mansion." The servants and maids at the door had received the news early, and they all greeted the masters with beaming smiles.
"Welcome home, masters!"
Mingyue saw many familiar people, and her nose felt a little sore. After not seeing them for a year, some of them had aged a lot, some had tied their hair up and got married, and some had a more resolute look in their eyes...
Sure enough, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as one's own little doghouse. Although it is the first time for Mingyue to come to Minzhou's home, she still feels at ease, after all, it is her own home.
Jiang Mengrou immediately brought the children to their respective yards.
The first place she saw was Mingyue's room. She looked at the room with surprise, "Mom! The furnishings here are exactly the same as the house in the capital!" As she said that, she hugged Jiang Mengrou's waist and rubbed it.
Minghao took the lead in explaining, "Humph, this is all arranged specially for you by mother. Even though you and your elder brother are not here, mother still prepared rooms for you two. I also provided a lot of suggestions."
"Thank you, second brother!" Mingyue understood very well that Minghao just wanted to praise her at this time.
Sure enough, when Minghao heard his sister's words, he immediately straightened his back and walked with a breeze.
Leaving Zhizhi and Taotao here to clean up, Mingyue went to see the courtyards of the eldest and second brothers, as well as the main courtyard of his parents.
As she walked along, she found that the general's mansion here was much smaller than the one in the capital, but this made it much easier to visit.
Before, to get to my brother’s place, I had to climb over several archways with hanging flowers, but now I can get there in just a few steps.
Mingyue likes this small and exquisite home very much.
After a quick meal in the main courtyard, they each went their separate ways. Zhao Yunshan was to deal with the backlog of matters that had accumulated over the past half month, while Jiang Mengrou was to check on the affairs of the mansion and sort out her luggage.
Fortunately, this time, I only brought some personal belongings, and the rest of my luggage is still on the way.
"Miss! Zhizhi and I have the same rooms as those in the capital! Madam is so thoughtful!" Taotao was so touched.
Zhizhi didn't care. She went wherever the young lady was. Her room was rarely used except for occasional accommodation and clothes storage. She spent all her time in Mingyue's room.
"Miss, this is my first time in the South. I am so grateful to you for your kindness." Zhizhi broke open the orange and stuffed it into her mouth, "Hmm~ So sweet~"
"Silly Zhizhi, your young lady will take you to more places in the future." Mingyue pinched her face and put an orange in her palm.
Then she saw another hand placed in front of her, "Miss, where is mine? I also want to go to more places with you!" Taotao said jealously.
"Yes, yes, I will take you two with me wherever I go." Mingyue touched his head with one hand.
Soon, the two brothers were ready, changed their clothes, and came to find their sister.
"Mingyue! Are you tired?" I heard the voice before I saw the person. Mingyue's voice arrived before I saw him.
Mingyue was in a new and fresh mood about everything in Minzhou, so she naturally didn't feel tired. "I'm not tired. Second brother, do you want to take me out to play?" Mingyue said in surprise.
Then I saw two brothers walking in side by side, "Shall we go out for a walk together?"
Mingyue nodded vigorously! "Okay, okay!"
Zhizhi and Taotao's eyes were also sparkling.
"Then let's go to that street first! I see a lot of fresh food that I have never eaten before." Mingyue suggested.
Considering that he had just eaten something, Minghao hesitated, "But..."
"Come on, come on, let's go for a walk. It's okay if we don't eat." Mingyue shook her two brothers' hands and said coquettishly.
"Okay, but let's go to the place where daddy is on duty first, and then go around for a walk, so that we don't forget where our daddy is." Mingyang agreed.
"Yeah, I'll go check out the locations of the shops and houses that Sister Yu gave me then." Mingyue thought happily, counting on her fingers.
"Okay~" Mingyang's doting voice gave Minghao goosebumps.
The three siblings were just about to go out when they saw a servant in a hurry, leading a man dressed as an official, running towards Zhao Yunshan's study.
The three of them looked at each other and decided to follow.
The three of them trotted after him, but could only see the servant's back. When they reached Zhao Yunshan's study, they heard only one sentence, "...bandits are causing chaos, slaughtering the entire village. In a village of several hundred people, only a dozen or so survivors have come to report the crime..."
