Chapter 2451: Extra - My Painting Has Arrived



Mengmeng turned her head and saw Senior Brothers Yan and Qiao standing at the door. They greeted Shu Yu and then walked over to Mengmeng, smiling as they asked, "Little Meng Meng, are you bored?"


"I... I don't understand." Her voice sounded particularly pitiful.


Student Yan and Qiao exchanged a glance and smiled. "In that case... how about we take you to the Center of the Lake to see?"


On the first day, when they returned to the inn, they had heard Mengmeng mention that she wanted to see the "big boat." Now, seeing the usually energetic girl looking like this, they couldn't bear it.


Shu Yu frowned. "This might not be a good idea."


"Don't worry, Master. It's lunchtime right now, and everyone is resting. There are no restrictions on going up to the Center of the Lake at the moment. We'll take Mengmeng for a walk and come back. It won't take long."


"Yeah, Master, Little Junior Sister has been in the compartment for three days. Look at her, she looks thinner."


As soon as Mengmeng heard this, she nervously touched her own face and said in alarm to Shu Yu, "Mom, I can't get thin. Great-grandma will be sad."


Shu Yu's mouth twitched. Did she really think she had gotten thinner?


She glanced at the Center of the Lake, which had few people at the moment, and no restrictions on entry.


"Alright, you can go for a walk."


Mengmeng immediately got excited and held hands with Dou Dou and Huohuo, wanting to go together.


The two senior brothers had no objections and led the three little ones downstairs.


Shu Yu sat by the window and, in no time, saw them walking onto the bridge over the lake.


Senior Brother Yan and the orderly staff had a few words, and then the staff allowed them to pass.


Little Mengmeng excitedly stomped her foot and curiously said, "Senior Brother, this boat won't move, right?"


Senior Brother Yan smiled, "Of course not, the boat is fixed."


He patiently explained the structure of the boat to the three children, although they only understood half of it, they still felt very impressed.


Mengmeng walked around on the boat, fulfilling her wish from three days ago, finally feeling satisfied.


Just as she was about to leave, Huohuo suddenly said, "Meng Meng, look at that person."


Mengmeng turned her head and suddenly exclaimed, "Bad person!"


Several people who had been talking quietly nearby turned their heads when they heard her. Then, following Mengmeng's pointing finger, they looked in the direction of the bridge.


On the bridge, a few young scholars were walking towards the Center of the Lake. The leader of the group frowned and then continued walking towards the lake, seemingly ignoring Mengmeng.


Mengmeng stomped her foot. She had a good memory. This person was the one who had made fun of her when they were in Changjin Prefecture.


Senior Brother Qiao saw that she looked very angry and asked, "Little Junior Sister, do you know that person?"


"Yes. He... he said I don't understand, and my painting is ugly."


Senior Brother Qiao squinted his eyes, recalling that there had indeed been such an incident in Changjin Prefecture. However, they hadn't seen it themselves, and when they returned to that tea house later, the students inside had already left.


So, these were the people. They hadn't expected that they would also come to the capital.


Mengmeng's words were not only heard by Senior Brother Qiao and the people around them, but also by the group of scholars who had just walked onto the bridge.


The leader of the group was named Gao, and he disliked children. He didn't expect to see the same child again twice, so he sneered, "Did I say something wrong? Isn't your painting ugly?"


Mengmeng widened her eyes. "My painting is beautiful, and I... I brought it with me."
