Chapter 1237 Remarrying After Three Years
This put Xiao on high alert, and she successfully misunderstood Ren's lead.
Looking back now, things might not have been so simple; she had been blinded.
Xiao took a deep breath, got into the carriage, and headed straight for the county government office.
She's gone, but the commotion at the Lu family's house isn't over yet.
Seeing that it was getting late and it was time for the matchmaker to go home, she changed the subject to the wedding date, and once that was settled, the matter would be considered complete.
The matchmaker's plan was quite good. The eldest daughter of the Lu family will get married in a couple of days, and the second daughter of the Lu family should not get married until next year at the earliest.
Before she could even say "next year," Shu Yu said, "Let's get married in three years."
Getting married at eighteen was already considered early for Shu Yu.
The matchmaker looked at her in surprise, "...Isn't it too late?"
Meng Yunzheng laughed and said, "It's not too late. I am just a commoner now, while Ayu is already a noble lady of the village. In any case, I must pass the imperial examination to be worthy of her, otherwise it would be too unfair to her."
The matchmaker's eyes lit up. Good heavens, so he wanted to take the imperial examinations.
But the next moment she frowned. Young Master Meng was a commoner now, so how could he be so sure that he could pass the imperial examination in three years? If he failed, would he not marry him?
Those who are slightly better at studying should be scholars by his age, right?
Just like Tang Wenqian, he was already a Juren (a successful candidate in the imperial examinations).
However, when news broke the following year that Meng Yunzheng had overcome numerous obstacles and won six top prizes in a row, the matchmaker was almost speechless with astonishment.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
The matchmaker still looked troubled, but both the Lu and Meng families had no objection to the decision and agreed with it wholeheartedly.
Alright, in that case, let's wait three years to get married. As for the date, it's too early to choose now.
Once the date was set, the matchmaker went home.
Meng Pei and Doctor Zhao had drunk some wine in the evening and were feeling a bit dizzy. They must also be very tired from traveling back in the morning.
Shu Yu then had someone send them back first.
Meng Yunzheng and his group were still there. While everyone else was drinking tea and chatting in the front hall, Xiang Weinan walked up to Shu Yu and whispered, "Did the Xiao family show up at your house today to cause you trouble?"
Shu Yu glanced at him sideways, "It's not really troublesome, anyway, everything's fine now."
Xiao Shi is not a particularly wicked person, but she is not on the same path as her, and it is highly likely that they will not have any further contact in the future.
Especially if the Third Prince fails to seize the throne in the future, no one knows whether the Xiao family will ultimately be implicated.
Seeing that she wasn't going to say much, Xiang Weinan knew that part of it was because of him. He was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll explain things to her when we get back. If she comes looking for you again, just have someone let me know."
after?
Shu Yu asked curiously, "Will your wife stay in Jiangyuan County from now on?"
Xiang Weinan frowned. He wanted to send Xiao back to the capital as soon as possible, but judging from Xiao's attitude, it wouldn't be easy.
Speaking of this, Xiang Weinan also had a headache. Given Xiao's status, unless she wanted to leave herself, he couldn't force her to go back.
Unexpectedly, Meng Yunzheng suddenly walked over and said, "You won't be staying in Jiangyuan County for long."
Shu Yu and Xiang Weinan turned to look at him at the same time. "What do you mean?"
