Chapter 2407 The old lady has a few words to say
Shu Yu raised her eyebrows, "Don't worry about that. Erniu is studying now. I heard from A-Yun that although he's not as talented as A-Rui in his studies, he can still pass the preliminary examination before getting married if he works hard. As a preliminary examination candidate, the wife he marries, even if she doesn't come from a wealthy family, will most likely be literate. As for your aunt, she can't read or write much, so she both wants such a daughter-in-law and is apprehensive about it."
Besides, Erniu is educated and reasonable, and with his three older siblings as role models, he should be able to manage his own family well and not let his aunt interfere.
The two sisters were chatting when Meng Yunzheng walked back from outside.
"Awake?" He came over with dinner in his hand, so he must have run into Ying Xi on his way here.
Shu Yu touched her belly, and Shu You immediately cleared the table, took her things, and went out, giving them a chance to talk alone.
Dinner was specially prepared for her, consisting of small wontons and refreshing side dishes. After eating a couple of bites and feeling comfortable, Shu Yu asked, "How are things going with my cousin-in-law and Xiao Song Le?"
"Both of them were very emotional, and they calmed down a bit after dinner. I had someone clean out the house so they could rest. They're finally reunited, and they'll be fine after spending a couple of days together."
As he spoke, he took a handkerchief and wiped her mouth.
“I went to the government office and transferred my cousin-in-law’s household registration here, so she’s registered under the same household as Song Le.”
Meng Yunzheng will handle all these matters, so Shu Yu doesn't need to worry.
Actually, it wasn't just these things. After they found out she was pregnant, she hardly needed to get involved in anything, whether it was at home or outside.
She had rested well the next day and originally planned to go to the workshop, but before she could set off, several managers who were already on holiday came to report to her.
Shu Yu only needs to listen; she doesn't need to worry about anything.
There were also bills sent by people from Changjin Mansion in Dong'an Prefecture and several shops in the capital. Looking at the number of words on them, Shu Yu's face almost twitched with laughter.
Compared to her leisurely life, Meng Yunzheng was much busier. Especially when the academy had just opened, he went to the southwest, and Master Wen temporarily took charge of everything here.
Fortunately, the academy had only been open for a short time and the number of students was not large. Even though many students wanted to learn from Meng Yunzheng and the two great scholars, they were all aware of the situation and most were still observing.
Although the academy is currently on holiday and the students have all gone home.
However, the two great scholars were going to spend the New Year at the academy. Meng Yunzheng went up the mountain to invite them to his home for New Year's Eve dinner, but the two gentlemen declined. He could only send them New Year's gifts as a sign of respect.
However, his busy period only lasted two days, and soon it was Lunar New Year's Eve.
This year, at the old lady's request, everyone gathered at the Lu family's house for New Year's Eve dinner.
The Lu family, including the third branch of the Lu family, Lu Sixing and her younger generation, as well as the Zhao family, the Meng family, and the Xu and Fang families who came to visit, set up five or six tables in the front hall of the Lu family's house in a lively atmosphere.
The old lady sat in the main seat, looking at the happy family, when suddenly her eyes welled up with tears, and she put down her chopsticks.
Shu Yu sat down next to her and asked softly, "Grandma, what's wrong?"
"I'm just happy."
As the old lady spoke, she suddenly stood up, holding a wine glass in her hand, and said, "Everyone, before we eat, I'd like to say a few words."
Everyone stopped. Shu You held down the mischievous Xiao Huo Huo and looked up at the old lady who was filled with emotion.
