Chapter 1993 Shu Yu Prepares to Go Home

Tao explained, "Ahan will be marrying into the prefectural city in the future. Although our escort agency is not bad, it is still somewhat inferior to the Gan family."

She was referring to the economic aspect, in which the Meng family is truly no match for the Gan family.

Shu Yu understood. "So you want to buy a shop in the prefectural city as part of Ahan's dowry?"

"Yes, I heard that the prices of shops in the prefectural city have dropped a bit this year, so I was thinking of buying a shop for Ahan so that she can have some security in the future."

The idea is good, but even if the prices of shops in the prefectural city drop further, the prices will still be what they are.

Does Tao have any money?

Tao really didn't have any. Her younger brother had swindled a lot of her money before, and she spent most of it on her family.

Fortunately, the Meng Family Escort Agency had some resources, but wasn't it recently undergoing an expansion? Money was flowing out like water, so where would they find any extra funds? If Meng Pei hadn't contributed some, the agency would probably have only been able to expand by half.

Therefore, Tao's money was really tight when he wanted to buy a shop in the prefectural city.

But she really wanted to buy it while the price was cheap, otherwise she wouldn't be able to afford it in a few years.

So she borrowed some money before coming. Actually, she could have borrowed directly from Shu Yu or Meng Yunzheng. But both of them were juniors and had had unpleasant experiences in the past. Not to mention Tao Shi, even Uncle Meng wouldn't agree.

Tao's main purpose in seeking Shu Yu's advice was to ask her to decide which shop to buy.

Tao was completely unfamiliar with the prefectural city and had never done business before, so he really didn't know anything about this.

Shu Yu found Tao's decision quite farsighted, so she didn't refuse. She went to Jiang Fengshou to inquire, and sure enough, Jiang Fengshou quickly gave Tao four shops to choose from.

After looking around, Tao finally chose a fabric shop located on Fuyuan Street.

Firstly, it's close to Lu Ji's shop, so they can look out for each other. Secondly, this fabric shop sells in bulk, so Tao doesn't need to think about doing other business. Thirdly, Meng Han helped out at Shu You's Yi Ren Ge when she went to Dong'an Prefecture; while she might not be an expert in other areas, she does have some knowledge of fabrics.

After making the decision, Tao negotiated with the owner of the cloth shop and quickly transferred the ownership, with the shop now registered under Meng Han's name.

Tao had accomplished a great thing and could finally rest easy.

With Meng Han's marriage settled and Lu Ji's shop running smoothly, and with April fast approaching, it was time for Shu Yu to return to Dong'an Prefecture.

She's been out for half a year now.

Just as she was preparing to leave, Chengxian invited her and Meng Yunzheng to have a meal together.

Cheng Xian said that Cheng Jiatong and Cheng Wenbao were sent to the Southwest by Master Cheng three days after that incident. They did not wait for Cheng Xian to set off together, and it was impossible for Cheng Xian to travel with them. However, they would inevitably meet again after returning to the Southwest.

He has finished his business in Changjin Prefecture and plans to return in a few days.

Shu Yu thought for a moment, "If you're heading southwest, won't you be traveling with me for a while? Why don't we go together?"

Meng Yunzheng, who was drinking tea nearby, couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't leave. The autumn imperial examinations were in a few months. If he left now, he would have to come back in two months, and the round trip would waste all his time on the road.

Shu Yu also disagreed with his going back, telling him to stay here and prepare for the exam. As for the academy he bought, she would help renovate it as soon as she returned, just in time for his high school graduation and the subsequent large-scale enrollment.
