Chapter 2428: Chapter 19: Dabao’s Ambition

The rest of the Meng family agreed to this.

Ms. He still wanted to carry on with her days, and she was a bit afraid of the Eldest Uncle’s family. Although Meng Yunzheng didn’t speak, Meng Pei did, so she dared not disobey.

Ms. Tao, although still feeling uneasy, didn’t say much.

So Ms. Tao returned to Chenggu County to avoid getting upset by Ms. He.

Meng Han secretly vented to Shu Yu, thinking his father’s ability to pick wives was inherited by his brother.

They both picked wives who were not easy to deal with.

Shu Yu quietly facepalmed - your father’s wife is your mother, you know.

This time, Shu Yu and his group came over with the plan to visit Chenggu County. Mainly to pay respects to Meng Yunzheng’s mother, Song Xin, so they didn’t tell Uncle Meng in advance. Otherwise, with Uncle Meng’s character, he would have rushed to the prefecture.

"Sister-in-law, why not stay at our place tonight. Gan Rui’s sister-in-law has been talking about you and cleaned up a room early for you."

Shu Yu wasn’t keen on staying at someone else’s place, and besides, if they were to stay over, it should be at the Meng family’s escort agency.

But as for the escort agency... Meng Qi was out on a job, and Shu Yu had only met Ms. He once last year during Meng Han’s wedding, so they weren’t familiar.

So they weren’t keen on going to the Meng family’s escort agency.

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged glances and decided to stay at an inn.

Meng Han was a bit disappointed, but Shu Yu laughed, "It doesn’t matter where we stay, and besides, our Mianmian is still young and restless, staying at the Gan family’s wouldn’t be convenient."

Mianmian puffed up her cheeks, "I’m quiet." Not restless at all.

Shu Yu’s lips twitched. Do you really not feel guilty saying that?

Meng Han didn’t insist and followed them toward the inn.

The inn only hosted people from Zhenglu Academy, as the caravan went directly to Lu’s Shop to unload. After all, with so much cargo, leaving it at the inn would be a hassle.

Meng Han had already heard about the Zhenglu Academy scholars going to the Capital this time, but she was curious, "How come I haven’t seen Ah Rui and the others?"

"They went on a trip, heading south this time, so they’re not with us."

Shurui, Erniu, and Dabao had become an inseparable trio.

Whatever they did, they did together. This time they traveled south mainly for Erniu.

Erniu was older than the two of them. The year Shu Yu returned to the Lu family, Erniu was already ten. Now nine years have passed, and he’s a grown young man.

His talent in studying wasn’t as good as Shurui’s, and he didn’t have Meng Yunzheng to tutor him in his early years. Plus, he started learning late, so he hasn’t yet taken his exams.

Earlier this year, Meng Yunzheng tested his studies and thought he could take the test next year.

Before that, Erniu wanted to go out and see the world.

Shurui and Dabao went with him. Shurui planned to participate in the county-level exams next year too, hoping to bring home the Scholar title.

As for Dabao, he never had aspirations in this regard. Madam Liang was frustrated at first, then gave up. Anyway, he’s seventeen now and should be capable of finding a wife.

Dabao actually wanted to get married, but perhaps due to spending a lot of time with Shurui, some of his thoughts subtly changed.

Shurui said a man should establish a career before starting a family.

So recently, Dabao has been secretly pondering opening a food shop to fulfill his long-held wish.

However, there is a bit of a funding issue initially.

He decided to take advantage of this travel period to borrow some money from the two brothers. Especially Shurui, who, being from a wealthy family, always received large red envelopes from his brothers-in-law every year.
