Chapter 1816 Grandma Fang, who is obsessed with looks
The news that the Meng Family Escort Agency had received an imperial plaque and that Shu Yu had become the Lady of Wen'an County quickly spread among the wealthy households of Chenggu County.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, people brought gifts to offer their congratulations.
Who knew that Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng had left the county town early in the morning and went to Hedeng Village to pay New Year's respects to Grandma Fang.
This was the first time Meng Yunzheng had met Granny Fang, even though Granny Fang had lived in the Mi family's clinic, just like Meng's uncle. But Meng Yunzheng had been so busy outside that he didn't even have time to sleep, let alone visit his uncle at the clinic.
She finally managed to get two or three hours of sleep to recharge, but as soon as she woke up, Qi Lie dragged her to the prefectural city to help out. After that, she only came back once or twice, so she never had a chance to meet Granny Fang.
Grandma Fang was a little nervous during their first formal meeting.
The villagers of Hedeng Village ran after the horse-drawn carriage the moment it entered the village.
They had already met Lu Xiangjun and the others, but they had only heard of Meng Yunzheng's name and this was the first time they had met him.
Compared to Shu Yu, Meng Yunzheng was more well-known in the village.
This scholar, who passed the imperial examinations with top honors in the county, prefecture, and county towns last year, is known not only in the county seat but also in the villages.
In particular, there was a scholar in their village who passed the imperial examination last year. After returning, he praised Meng Yunzheng's talent and ability extensively. The admiration in his words made Meng Yunzheng seem to be standing on a pedestal, as if he were a great talent who had never been seen before or since.
There were few scholars in the village, and passing the imperial examination to become a scholar was already a remarkable achievement, let alone someone who passed the first three levels of the imperial examination on his first attempt.
However, although Meng Yunzheng was famous at that time, he was a very distant figure from them. They would just make a few remarks and then forget about it.
Who would have thought that the person they thought was unreachable would actually appear in their village, right in front of them?
When Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu entered the Fang family's house, they could still feel the burning gazes of the villagers.
Grandma Fang smiled and poured them tea. "Don't mind, there are few scholars in Hedeng Village, and the number of scholars who pass the imperial examinations is even smaller, only one every ten years or so, and their rankings aren't high. So when you see Yunzheng, it's natural to be curious and want to take a second look."
As she spoke, she glanced at it a couple more times.
Ayu's fiancé is really handsome, tall, polite, and humble.
According to A-Gui, Yun-Zheng is not only a scholar, but also very skilled in martial arts.
Standing together, he and Ayu really were... a perfect match, a match made in heaven.
Grandma Fang couldn't help but laugh as she watched, making even a composed man like Meng Yunzheng feel embarrassed. She immediately coughed lightly and called Yuan Gui out for a private talk.
Shu Yu chuckled to herself; it turned out her great-aunt was still a sucker for good looks.
After the two left, Grandma Fang walked up to Shu Yu and whispered, "When are you and Yun Zheng getting married?"
"Probably the second half of next year, but the exact date hasn't been decided yet."
Grandma Fang was stunned. "Next year?"
It's only the second day of the Lunar New Year this year, so it will be almost two years until the second half of next year.
Ayu is already seventeen this year, isn't it too late?
Why wait until next year?
Shu Yu helped her sit down and explained, "A-Yun is participating in the autumn imperial examination this year. If all goes well, she will participate in the spring imperial examination next year. Once she has achieved academic success, we can discuss marriage when we have more free time."
