Chapter 2082 The Lu Family Has Good News

Meng Yunzheng was stunned. He looked up and saw that the Lu family members were excited and happy, their faces beaming with joy, and they were exceptionally festive.

He spotted Shu Yu in the crowd; she was holding a child in her arms, who appeared to be Zhao Xi and Shu You's son, Xiao Huohuo. The little guy was young, but quite bold. Facing the loud and boisterous firecrackers, he wasn't afraid at all; instead, he eagerly craned his neck to get closer.

Shu Yu held the child steadily in her arms, looked at him, and smiled.

The scene was just like his wife and children waiting for him to return home.

Before he could finish thinking, Shu Rui had already run over excitedly, looking up at him with admiration and excitement, "Brother Meng, come in quickly, we've already prepared a welcome feast for you."

Meng Yunzheng snapped out of his reverie, recalling the thought that had just crossed his mind, and unconsciously coughed twice, laughing, "You guys are going too far."

"Not too grand, not too grand," Shu Rui said, and seeing that one string of firecrackers had finished going off, he ran over and lit another one.

Meng Yunzheng, “…” You’ve prepared quite a lot.

Shu Yu had already walked up to him, and the little fire in her arms tilted its head and looked at him curiously.

But when Meng Yunzheng reached out to hug him, he immediately turned his head away and hugged Shu Yu's neck, refusing to let go. When he lowered his hand, the little guy turned back to look at him.

Amidst the lively sound of firecrackers, the group returned to the courtyard. Shu Yu whispered in his ear, "After we heard the news that you had passed the imperial examination with top honors, our family was overjoyed. Knowing that you probably wouldn't be back for a while, we were thinking about how to congratulate you and celebrate with you. That's why the two younger ones prepared the firecrackers and flower petals. And my mother and grandmother also prepared the menu for your welcome dinner a long time ago."

Meng Yunzheng chuckled, "They've had a tough time."

The old lady walked up to him without him noticing, and Meng Yunzheng immediately reached out to help her walk.

The old lady was very happy. "It's no trouble at all. Your passing the provincial examination with top honors is a great joy for the family. Let's have a small celebration this time. When you pass the imperial examination with top honors, we'll have a grand banquet that lasts for three days and three nights."

She didn't dare to make any definitive statements. Although she really wanted to say that Meng Yunzheng was destined to be the top scholar in the imperial examination, she couldn't say it now. Otherwise, if word got out, people would say that her family was too arrogant. What if it put psychological pressure on Yunzheng?

Meng Yunzheng did not refuse, "It's fine as long as Grandma makes the decision."

The old lady was even happier; such an excellent son-in-law was truly theirs.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the Lu family quickly returned to the flower hall.

The family was having dinner at home. Everyone knew that Meng Yunzheng and the other three must be very tired from their journey back, so they didn't keep them waiting any longer. They just asked the kitchen to add a few more dishes so they could eat first and leave the welcoming dinner for tomorrow. Today, they would let them rest well.

While the Lu family was reunited, the neighbors already knew that the Lu family's top scholar had returned.

This is the time when everyone is returning from outside, and with the Lu family setting off firecrackers for quite some time, everyone who heard the noise ran out to see what was going on.

Therefore, within just one night, everyone on Fenghuai Street knew about it.

The next day, those who had been paying attention to the Lu family brought gifts to congratulate them, making the Lu family exceptionally lively.
