Chapter 1430 Leaving the Rental
Meng Yunzheng didn't know if there was a black market in Changjin Prefecture, as he was indeed unfamiliar with the area.
Although he had lived here for several months, he had been preparing for exams during that time. He would occasionally stroll around the streets, but he wouldn't go to every street and alley like Shu Yu, let alone go to the brokerage.
He mostly exchanged academic ideas with fellow students from the same cohort, or occasionally visited the schools and academies in the area.
Therefore, what he saw might not actually be Shu Yuduo.
The details regarding the buying and selling of people are even more unclear. However, human trafficking does occur on the black market.
When someone dared to forcibly kidnap people on the official road, Meng Yunzheng's first thought was the black market.
When the topic of the black market came up, both of them fell silent.
"What's wrong with you two?" When Meng Han came out, she saw the two of them standing facing each other, looking up at the sky with a worried expression.
Shu Yu turned around. "You're done washing up? Perfect timing, let's eat."
"OK."
Meng Han took Shu Yu's hand and skipped towards the kitchen.
They were leaving the next day, and that night, Meng Yunzheng and the others stayed up quite late packing.
They didn't have much stuff; most of it consisted of books that Meng Yunzheng had brought with him, and they bought some more after arriving at Changjin Prefecture.
Fortunately, the carriage was spacious enough to fit everything. Meng Yunzheng gave away the rest of the items he had bought that he couldn't take with him.
Aunt He was very excited. The things that Young Master Meng used were not cheap. Even if there weren't many things, it was still a great thing for her.
She felt that helping Young Master Meng during this period of time was absolutely worthwhile.
Meng Yunzheng told her to put away what she wanted, and she could move it away tomorrow.
Aunt He nodded repeatedly, and the next day, she even asked her son and daughter-in-law to help carry the things.
They then led the two of them to clean up the house inside and out, and by the time the landlord came to take back the property, the entire courtyard had been completely transformed.
The landlord was very satisfied, not only because Meng Yunzheng took good care of his house, but also because he was a scholar who had achieved the highest level of the imperial examinations.
Therefore, he refunded him all the rent for the past few months.
Meng Yunzheng didn't stand on ceremony. He knew that once he left, there would be no problem renting out the house. Even if the landlord doubled the rent, there would still be plenty of people willing to rent it.
The landlord was very happy, probably wanting to get closer to Meng Yunzheng, and insisted on talking to him before he left.
Seeing this, Shu Yu simply walked over to Aunt He and handed her a red envelope. "This is from A-Yun. She said she's been a great help to you these past few months. Now that we're leaving, we don't know when we'll see each other again. Here, take this as a token of our good fortune."
Aunt He was embarrassed to accept it, but after hearing Shu Yu say that it was for good luck, she thought about it and accepted it anyway.
"Well, then thank you very much, Auntie. You and Young Master Meng are really too kind. It's my advantage to work for Young Master Meng. Young Master Meng is easy to talk to and generous. I've worked for other people's homes before, and Young Master Meng is the kindest and most approachable person I've ever met."
Aunt He really liked the engaged couple. They were very polite and considerate. They never treated her like a servant who could be summoned and dismissed at will. They would invite her to join them for meals.
Even when they occasionally go out shopping and buy some snacks, they will invite her to eat with them.
Knowing that she has young grandchildren, they would specially buy her candy to take home.
