The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family
Chapter 722 Angered Hatred (2)_1

Chapter 722: Chapter 722 Angered Hatred (2)_1

Just a short month passed, and they had earned more than a thousand wen money, with mooncakes distributed too— the casual workers who came to work were all smiling with joy.

Tomorrow would be the fifteenth, and Pei Wendong and Xiao Yong had also returned from the county school.

The family, along with Shen Songming and his servants, formed a peculiar combination, celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

Shen Songming still hadn’t given up and was pulling Mo Heng to head south with him.

Seeing Pei Qin getting sleepy, Mo Heng directly took her back to the rear courtyard to rest.

Shen Songming looked down on him for a while, then began to coax Pei Wendong and Xiao Yong, "... ’To read ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.’ Only after witnessing the variegated tapestry of life can one gain a profound experience. How about it? Do you want to accompany me on a trip? Along the way, I’ll also share my experiences with you!"

Pei Wendong was very tempted. His previous trip to the Songyang Academy had been spoiled by the shameless Wei Shu who clung to his sister-in-law. If it weren’t for her, he, Wendong, Yonglin, and Xiao Yong would have stayed to study at the academy. If he could venture out for more exposure, "Can we return before the New Year?"

"If we can’t make it back before the New Year, we’ll just celebrate it over there! It’s perfect to see how people outside celebrate the New Year! If we wait any longer, who knows when the next opportunity might come!" Shen Songming urged with all his might.

"There will be plenty of opportunities to go out in the future! To run so far away, even to take a boat, and not knowing whether it’s safe or not... My elder sister won’t agree either!" Pei Qian disagreed; if anything unexpected happened, they wouldn’t even have a place to cry.

"Your elder sister has a wider view of the world, and since she’ll be with me, she won’t hold you back! To travel and see more will enable you to write with greater flair! Just staying in one place, burying yourself in books, whatever you write will have limitations!" Shen Songming kept coaxing.

Pei Wendong looked at Xiao Yong, seeking his opinion.

Xiao Yong hesitated. This trip didn’t seem safe, and without his father the king’s consent...

Pei Wendong thought about his coursework for the next few months, then stood up and ran to the rear courtyard, "Elder Sister!"

"Are you sure you want to follow that guy down south?" Pei Qin raised an eyebrow.

"I want to see it for myself. I... will definitely return before the New Year!" Since her brother-in-law had already made his stance clear with Wei Shu, she wouldn’t dare to pester them any longer. He could then set his heart at ease.

Pei Qin touched her chin and thought for a moment, "You can go if you want to, it’s just that..."

"It’s just what?" Pei Wendong asked, "Brother Songming has several masters by his side, and I also know martial arts, so nothing will happen!"

"If you do follow, not to mention not understanding the local dialect... Alright! If you’ve thought it through and Shen Songming is also inviting you, then go ahead!" Pei Qin thought of a heap of difficulties but knew that stepping out was meant for gaining experience, and without difficulties, there was no point in leaving home. She agreed to let him go.

Pei Wendong’s eyes lit up, and he smiled, "I will definitely take good care of myself, not cause too much trouble for Brother Songming, and rush back as soon as possible!"

Pei Qin nodded, and after washing up and changing clothes, she came over to see Pei Wendong pack his travel bag. He hadn’t mentioned it when he came back yesterday, decided to leave tomorrow, and only made the decision tonight; there was no time to prepare everything.

"Take a few sets of clothes and daily necessities. Make two notebooks to keep a journal. I’ll bring the medicine and the doctor is coming along, so you don’t need to prepare much else," Shen Songming knew Pei Qin would agree.

"Then I’ll go too!" Xiao Yong went back to his room to pack his things.

His two personal guards saw this and came up to dissuade him, "Master! Once the trade route is established, you can go on a second trip later, it wouldn’t be too late then!"

"Who knows what will happen later or if there will be time!? I’m going this time," Xiao Yong quickly took out a few sets of his clothes.

Seeing that they couldn’t dissuade him, the two guards came out to plead with Mo Heng and Pei Qin, "If anything goes wrong, the heads of our entire family wouldn’t be enough to atone for it!"
