Chapter 1251 Hangover

Shu Yu didn't go with them. "Grandma, I'll have the driver take you there."

The old lady waved her hand, "Why do we need a driver? The place isn't far, we'll walk there."

She said to Lan Hua, "Let's say we want to go to his shop to get a pair of scissors made, and also to see what kind of person he is. We'll choose first, and if you don't like him, we can pretend we never met him. If you're satisfied, then we can ask Master Yu to act as a go-between."

Seeing her enthusiastic expression, Shu Yu couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle.

After watching them leave, Shu Yu also bid farewell to Cuihua.

Besides bringing the old lady here, she also came to see Meng Yunzheng.

Zhao Xi bought a house and moved out, but Meng Yunzheng and Meng Pei still lived in Liufang Lane.

Zhao Xi wanted them to move into the new house together, since there were plenty of rooms there.

However, the Meng family father and son felt it was inappropriate. If he hadn't gotten married, living together wouldn't have been a problem, but now that he was married and had his own family, it would be inconvenient for him to live with the Zhao family.

Zhao Xi couldn't argue with them, so he didn't force the issue.

After leaving Cuihua's house, Shuyu walked to the left side of the alley. After passing about ten houses, she stopped and knocked on the courtyard gate.

The person who opened the door was Meng Yunzheng, but he looked somewhat listless.

Upon seeing Shu Yu, his eyes brightened slightly, and he stepped aside to let her in. "Why are you here at this hour?"

"I was just accompanying Grandma to see Lan Hua, so I came to check on you. You don't look too well; did you drink a lot last night?"

Meng Yunzheng pinched the bridge of his nose. "Yes, I shielded Zhao Xi from a lot of drinks."

Although Zhao Xicheng only had Dr. Zhao as a relative by his side after his marriage, he had made quite a few friends over the years as he traveled all over the country.

Zhao Xi wanted to have a lively wedding, so he invited some friends he had a good relationship with from the vicinity of Dong'an Prefecture.

These people are young and energetic; once they start causing trouble, they never stop.

Zhao Xi was the groom, and they couldn't be too rough with him, lest they frighten the bride. If the woman they had finally managed to marry ran away, they would be in grave danger.

Therefore, after being forced to drink a few cups of wine, Zhao Xi was sent back to his bridal chamber.

As for Xiang Weinan and Meng Yunzheng, the former was the county magistrate. He claimed that he had official business to attend to the next day and could not linger for too long. He drank a couple of cups as a token gesture and then left without any sense of loyalty.

These people were not familiar with Xiang Weinan, and given his status, it was naturally difficult to force them.

But Meng Yunzheng is different. He and Zhao Xi have been together for the past few years. He is Zhao Xi's friend and also his friend, and they are very familiar with each other.

After finding out he was engaged, wouldn't everyone go after him?

Meng Yunzheng was quite helpless; he had been in a good mood, which was why he had drunk a few cups.

A hangover is no fun.

Seeing that he was rubbing his temples again, Shu Yu went to the kitchen and said, "I'll make you some hangover soup."

Meng Yunzheng grabbed her hand and pulled her back to sit opposite him. "No need, I've taken some hangover medicine, I'll be fine after a while. Don't bother, sit down and talk for a bit."

Shu Yu could only sit back down, look around, and then realized that she had been there for a while but hadn't seen Meng Pei. She couldn't help but wonder, "Where is Uncle Meng?"

Meng Yunzheng poured two glasses of water. "He went out, saying he was going to the county town to look around and see if he could find a job."

Shu Yu asked in surprise, "Looking for work? What does Uncle Meng plan to do?"
