The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1413: Chapter 1413: Someone from the Meng Family Is About to Become an Official

Meng Yunzheng’s lips curved, but there wasn’t a hint of humor in his eyes, “Aunt, I’m afraid that won’t work. I came to the prefecture to study, and I usually bury myself in books and rarely go out. I probably don’t know this area as well as Uncle Meng does.”

Upon hearing this, Uncle Meng chimed in, “Exactly, exactly, Yun is here to study; how would he know which medical clinic is good or which doctor has great skill? I’ve told you before, right? I know two doctors with excellent medical skills, and tomorrow I’ll take you and Ah Qin.”

Ms. Tao’s face turned stiff; she exchanged a glance with Tao Qin, and neither said anything further.

Shu Yu stood by watching the scene with amusement; Ms. Tao’s intentions were far too obvious.

Meng Yunzheng no longer paid attention to Ms. Tao. He turned his head and glanced around the room and courtyard but didn’t see the Dongqing Temple master, so he looked at Shu Yu with some suspicion.

“Where’s Master?”

“Gone.”

Meng Yunzheng didn’t ask further. He somewhat understood the Dongqing Temple master’s personality, being someone who followed his whims. After meeting Shu Yu, he likely went straight to the capital.

He nodded his head, turned back, and exchanged pleasantries with Uncle Meng.

Ms. Tao couldn’t get a word in, so she signaled to Tao Qin to cozy up more to Meng Yunzheng.

However, Tao Qin was studying Shu Yu, seemingly intending to deal with her first.

Shu Yu resisted the urge to roll her eyes; this woman’s mind surely had some issues. The target was Meng Yunzheng, yet she was dealing with Shu Yu?

Thankfully, in no time, Ying Xi returned, followed by a nearby restaurant’s shop assistant bringing over quite a few dishes.

Meng Yunzheng invited everyone to sit down. Ms. Tao’s eyes shifted; seeing Uncle Meng already seated next to Meng Yunzheng, she quickly called her daughter, “Ah Han, sit beside your brother, get to know him better; after all, you haven’t seen each other for years. Brother and sister should talk more.”

She didn’t push Tao Qin to sit next to Meng Yunzheng, as that would be too obvious and improper.

But by placing her daughter beside her nephew, she could separate him from Shu Yu.

Shu Yu was speechless at such childish behavior, but Meng Yunzheng frowned and said to Meng Han, who was about to sit down, “Ah Han, sit to the side, I have something to discuss with Yu.”

Meng Han paused briefly but was quite obedient as she moved to a seat further away.

Seeing this, Ms. Tao glared at her daughter with frustration but couldn’t say much.

Shu Yu nodded to Meng Han and sat down confidently.

Uncle Meng truly enjoyed drinking, especially since he was particularly happy today; once seated, he filled his cup generously, “Come, come, Yunzheng, have a drink with Uncle. Our Meng family is really in the limelight now; you don’t know how our family generations have been martial artists, who get headaches just looking at books, let alone considering scholarly achievement. In the Meng family’s big lineage, there’s been only one child student in decades. You, you’re the only Scholar from our Meng family, and still a Triple Scholar, hahaha.”

He patted Meng Yunzheng’s shoulder, “Uncle believes, with your talent and ability, you’ll definitely pass the scholarly examination and become an Advanced Scholar in the future. When you enter the court as an official, our Meng family will be blessed with great fortune. Yunzheng, you’re amazing, Uncle is proud of you.”

Meng Yunzheng didn’t drink much, just listened quietly.

But Ms. Tao and Tao Qin were quite stirred by Uncle Meng’s words.

Yes, Meng Yunzheng won the Triple Scholar title, the scholarly examination and Advanced Scholar seem no challenge to him. If she marries him, she’d become an official’s wife.
