Chapter 1994 Tang Wenqian is a very competent county magistrate

Meng Yunzheng couldn't go back with Shu Yu, but he would definitely stay with her in the last few days before she left.

Qi Lie didn't stop him this time; he's not an unreasonable person, right? He gave Meng Yunzheng three days off.

After saying goodbye to Cheng Xian after their meal, Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu still had to return to Chenggu County.

Therefore, the next day, the two of them, along with Arui and the other two, took a carriage and left the city.

They hadn't been back for a month or so, which wasn't a long time, but as soon as they entered the city, they could clearly feel that something was different.

The most noticeable change was the relaxed and carefree expression on the faces of the passersby, a stark contrast to their cautious demeanor just a few months prior.

Shu Yu leaned against the carriage, looking out at the bustling streets, and suddenly laughed, "It seems that Tang Wenqian is doing a very good job as the county magistrate."

Meng Yunzheng hummed in response, but didn't say anything more.

Ayu was unaware of Tang Wenqian's thoughts, but he was very clear about them.

Speaking of which, he's quite successful now, and his parents have moved in with him. He's getting on in years, so shouldn't he find a wife?

"A-Yun, what's wrong with you?" Shu Yu waved her hand in front of his eyes when she saw him looking lost in thought.

Meng Yunzheng smiled and took her hand, holding it tightly in his palm. "It's nothing, I was just thinking that once you go back, I don't know when we'll see each other again."

He will be taking the autumn imperial examination in August, and after that, he will have to go to the capital to take the spring imperial examination in February of next year. After the palace examination, he will be busy with all sorts of other things, and it will probably be at least April or May before he can return to Dong'an Prefecture.

If you calculate it that way, it will take at least a year.

Thinking of this, Meng Yunzheng's brows furrowed.

Shu Yu chuckled, "I'll come see you when you go to the capital for the imperial examination."

“It will be tiring.” He thought for a moment, “Otherwise, I’ll go back to Dong’an Prefecture after the autumn examinations this year, and then set off for the capital after the New Year next year. There’s still time.”

Shu Yu, “…” Wouldn’t that be even more tiring?

Transportation these days is so inconvenient. If it were modern times, a plane ride would only take a few hours.

Inside the carriage, Shu Rui, Er Niu, and Da Bao looked disgusted. Were they really that invisible? Was it really appropriate for their sister and future brother-in-law to be holding hands like that, oblivious to everyone else? Even if the people outside couldn't see, the three of them were making a scene.

After waiting for a while, Erniu finally couldn't help but speak up, "Um, Brother Meng, I think..." The exam is more important.

Meng Yunzheng looked over, and Erniu swallowed hard.

"What do you think?" Meng Yunzheng regretted it a little; he should have prepared another carriage.

Erniu chuckled dryly, "I think... your suggestion is excellent. There's still a good six months until the spring imperial examination after the autumn one, so you can definitely go back to Dong'an Prefecture. We all miss you."

Shu Rui and Da Bao, “…Where is your backbone?”

Meng Yunzheng nodded and looked at Shu Yu, "See, they also think my suggestion is good."

Shu Yu was amused by them.

Just then, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the Meng Family Escort Agency. The three teenagers jumped off the carriage first and kept a distance from them.

Shu Yu entered the Meng Family Escort Agency and found that the expansion of the agency had been completed. The biggest change was the training ground, which was already quite large. Now, a large area was set aside, with plum blossom stakes, archery targets, swords, spears, halberds, and stone locks weighing tens or hundreds of kilograms arranged neatly in every corner of the training ground.
