Chapter 2273 I'm Going to Be an Aunt

Shu and Yu had dinner at the Lu family's house and took a walk in the yard before slowly walking back to the Meng family's house.

These are rare days of peace and tranquility for them. After the three-day homecoming, things will probably get busy again.

After all, Zhenglu Academy is about to start enrolling students on the 25th. Speaking of this, Shu Yu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Have the two gentlemen arrived yet?"

The other invited scholars have all arrived in Jiangyuan County, and I even attended their wedding a couple of days ago, but there has been no news of the two great Confucian scholars to this day.

Meng Yunzheng held her hand and said helplessly, "They should have arrived, but they just don't plan to show up yet. However, they will definitely appear before the start of the semester."

"After the start of the semester, you will be heading to the southwest. What are your plans for the academy? Both teachers are highly respected individuals. If either of them were to manage the academy, the other would surely be dissatisfied."

Meng Yunzheng chuckled and said, "Who said we were going to let them manage the academy? It's true that they are very knowledgeable, and it is precisely because they have devoted themselves to their studies that they have achieved what they have today. But such people would rather stay away from the tedious things of managing the academy, and they don't want to get involved with anyone."

Shu Yu nodded knowingly, "That's right, not everyone is like you, with both knowledge and management skills."

Meng Yunzheng, “…” Being praised by his wife without his knowledge is the most fatal thing.

He tightened his grip on Shu Yu's hand. "Don't worry, the establishment of Zhenglu Academy was started by Master Wen. He is most familiar with the academy's affairs and will manage it on his behalf. As for the two teachers, they only need to deal with the students who come to them for instruction. As for who they instruct or not, that is their freedom."

Meng Yunzheng wouldn't interfere too much with them. With their current reputations, both of them had already achieved great success in their studies and were reasonable people. As long as they followed the academy's rules, they could arrange how and when they wanted to teach, and even who they wanted to take as students.

The two returned to the Meng family home while talking. As soon as they entered, Meng Yunzheng was pulled away by his uncle to discuss something.

After Shu Yu went to see Meng Pei, she took Ying Xi back to the house.

To everyone's surprise, when they entered, they saw Yingxi with a smile on her face, unable to hide her joy.

Shu Yu raised her hand and waved in front of her, "What good thing happened to you?"

Yingxi immediately snapped out of her daze, chuckled, and whispered, "Miss, I'm going to be an aunt."

aunt?

Shu Yu was surprised, "Hua Xian is pregnant?"

"Mmm." Yingxi nodded repeatedly, as excited as if she had just given birth. "My sister-in-law said that she was a little worried because there hadn't been any news for a while, but she didn't expect to suddenly get pregnant. Soon, the Lin family will have a new member."

"The Lin family?"

“My elder brother said that the Ying family had raised us, but they later suffered a great calamity. Now, we don’t know where the Ying family’s children are or whether they are safe. My mother’s body was also collected by my stepfather’s first wife’s family, so my brother and I still have the surname Ying. We will visit their graves and pay our respects whenever we pass through Huajiang Prefecture. However, although my brother and I have the surname Ying, we will change our child’s surname back to Lin after he is born. When we have the opportunity, we will take him back to visit our parents.”

Shu Yu understood. "You all know what's going on."

"Miss, I'd like to ask for leave tomorrow morning to buy something for my future nephew."
