Chapter 2093 I'm rich!
Shu Yu comforted her, "Grandma, A-Yun is only like this because he is confident in the imperial examination. You have to believe in him."
The old lady certainly believed it. After all, Meng Yunzheng was the only person she had ever met who was so busy that he didn't even have time to read, yet he still managed to win four imperial examinations in a row.
But believing is one thing, she was still worried about the possibility of something going wrong.
However, Meng Yunzheng's home-based school proved to be very successful.
The children were even happier, especially when the weather was cold, they could have barbecues and hot pot at home, which was lively and exciting.
Seeing that Meng Yunzheng was handling things with ease and seemed to have no effect on him, the old lady ultimately said nothing more.
More than half a month later, it will be Hua Xian and Ying Dong's wedding day.
The couple's wedding was simple, held at the Lu family home, with relatives and friends by their side.
That morning, Hua Xian came out of the old lady's courtyard in her wedding dress. Her room was next to the old lady's, while Ying Dong's room was in the front yard.
Ying Dong specially prepared a sedan chair and had people carry Hua Xian around the backyard for a short while before arriving at the front yard.
The children followed along, and the sound of firecrackers was constant. Although the wedding was simple, it was still a lively and joyous occasion.
Hua Xian was the old lady's most trusted servant, spending the most time with her. Now that she was getting married, the dowry was naturally generous, and she was even given an extra dowry.
In addition, the masters of the Lu family all gave gifts. All in all, it was much more generous than the wedding gifts given to many girls in Shangshi Village.
From then on, Hua Xian officially became Ying Dong's wife.
However, she still stayed in the backyard to serve the old lady during the day, and at night, except for the occasional night watch, she would go back to the front yard to sleep.
The Lu family has gained several more servants. In addition to Hua Xian, the old lady's courtyard also has a maid and two old women, so there is no need to worry.
After the wedding, it was already late November, and in just over a month it would be Chinese New Year again.
Yuan Gui, who had traveled to the southwest, returned on the third day of the twelfth lunar month.
Also brought back were two detailed route maps, showing the official road and side roads leading to Linzhang Prefecture. Shu Yu was fairly familiar with the official road, but not with the side roads.
On Yuan Gui's map, the paths, villages, mountains, forests, and lakes are all clearly marked.
He also brought the sales situation from Linzhang Prefecture, which was almost identical to the information Shu Yu had received.
Grandma Fang was overjoyed to see Yuan Gui return; she was certain he wouldn't leave again before the New Year. Therefore, a few days later, she began arranging for Yuan Gui and Fu Xiangdi to get to know each other better.
Shu Yu didn't know how well they were doing. After the Laba Festival, the Lu family began to prepare for the New Year.
The house was bustling with activity, and Shu Yu began to take stock of the year-end accounts.
Last year she was in Chenggu County, and Da Niu brought her the year-end bills. She came back in May this year and did a summary, but at that time the Changjin Mansion shop had just opened and was still in the investment stage, so the accounts were not very complete.
This time, the accounts from the passion fruit shop in the capital were collected, and Meng Yunzheng also brought over the account books from Changjin Prefecture for the past six months when he returned.
Now that it's the end of the year, it's natural to take stock of the income and expenditure over the past two years.
On December 15th, Shu Yu sat in the workshop office for two or three days, busying herself until she finally settled all the accounts.
Looking at the amount on the account and then at the banknotes in her hand, Shu Yule narrowed her eyes with delight.
We've struck it rich!
