Chapter 839 Going to the Bookstore

Shu Yu frowned. Where would Master go?

She went to the southwest, supposedly to help her. But now that she's back, could her master still be staying there?

Not getting the information she wanted, Shu Yu was a little disappointed and could only say to the Taoist nun, "When Master returns, please ask Senior Sister to tell her that I will be waiting for her in Jiangyuan County. There are some things I hope she can help me with."

"I will pass on the message."

Shu Yu nodded and then led Lu Erbai out.

She sat in the carriage on the way down the mountain, gritting her teeth. She knew that even if the Taoist nun relayed those words, it would be useless. If her master was unwilling to appear, then he would never appear, even if it meant death.

This master-disciple relationship was really... quite serendipitous.

Shu Yu felt somewhat weary.

Lost in thought, the mule cart had already arrived at the gate of Dong'an Prefecture.

As soon as they entered the city, Lu Erbai, who was on the carriage shaft, suddenly exclaimed "Eh!"

Shu Yu snapped out of her daze, lifted the carriage curtain, and asked, "What's wrong, Father?"

"Those look like Sanya and Dahu, and standing next to them is... Zhao Xi or Yunzheng?"

Shu Yu looked in the direction he was pointing and indeed saw three people, one big and two small, standing by the city gate.

Sanya and Dahu were peeking into the city gate when they saw Lu Erbai and immediately waved vigorously at them.

Standing next to them was Meng Yunzheng, but he was wearing a veil at the moment.

No wonder Lu Erbai couldn't see it at first.

The car followed the procession toward the city wall, and when they reached the foot of the wall, Meng Yunzheng led the two of them forward.

Shu Yu jumped off the mule cart and asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"

Sanya said, "When we woke up from a nap, Grandma said that since we had come all the way to the city, we should go out and have some fun, so we ended up here."

As she spoke, she looked at Meng Yunzheng standing to the side.

Brother Meng was leading them around, and for some reason they just stood still at the city gate.

Brother Meng said that Dad and Second Sister have been gone for so long, they should be back soon. They're waiting here, and maybe they'll see them soon.

Sure enough, they finally saw their father and second sister.

Shu Yu couldn't help but glance at Meng Yunzheng, her lips twitching. Although their inn wasn't far from the city gate, shouldn't they go into the city to go shopping?

Meng Yunzheng coughed lightly, looked away, took the reins from Lu Erbai's hand, and asked him in a low voice, "Uncle Lu, have you seen the abbot?"

Lu Erbai shook his head, "No, the abbot hasn't gone back yet."

The two talked as they walked into the city.

Shu Yu also pulled her younger siblings along beside her. Seeing that there was still some time, she asked them in a low voice if there was anywhere they wanted to go.

It was the first time the two children had come to Dong'an Prefecture, and they were not familiar with the area. They couldn't immediately tell where they wanted to go.

Meng Yunzheng, who was in front, suddenly said, "Let's go to the bookstore and buy some books for Da Hu."

Da Hu's eyes suddenly lit up. Ever since the New Year, he had been studying with Brother Meng.

Brother Meng is incredibly capable; he knows everything. Whenever I have a question, his explanation immediately clarifies everything.

Although he had been traveling constantly, he still read and studied every night without fail. He had already finished reading all the books that Brother Meng had given him.

Just two days ago, Brother Meng said that he could start studying the Four Books and Five Classics.

When he heard that we were going to the bookstore, Da Hu was the first to agree.
