Chapter 1960 Gan Rui's Thoughts
However, perhaps because the new prefect was about to take office, Meng Yunzheng became even busier in the coming days.
Shu Yu harbored deep resentment towards Qi Lie.
The good news is that business at Lu Ji's shop is not bad.
Aside from the opening day, the business was booming for four or five days before stabilizing. Even so, the daily turnover was still quite substantial.
Jiang Fengshou has already started to think about preliminary plans for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Shu Yu was pleased to see this, but this pleasure vanished as soon as she saw Gan Rui step into Lu Ji again.
She has a terrible headache right now; Gan Rui has been coming over for four or five days in a row.
The next day, he brought a small pastry, saying it was a gift for Jiang Fengshou's son. He said he liked the Jiang family's son very much, and that they had a very pleasant chat last time, so he wanted to give his young friend a little something.
Very good, that's a reasonable reason.
On the third day, he said he had made an appointment with the Jiang family's son to come and teach him the skill of tossing melon seeds into his mouth. Although the other party was a child, he was honest and trustworthy and could not break his promise.
Madam Xue felt that this wouldn't do. After all, this was the backyard of the shop, not her own home. How could she use it to entertain guests every day?
So on the fourth day, she left her children at home and didn't bring them with her.
However, Gan Rui still came. He said he was buying something nearby and came over to say hello when he saw Shu Yu.
Shu Yu chuckled twice.
However, what troubled her even more was that every time Gan Rui came over, Meng Han would suddenly dart out from some unknown corner like a cat smelling fish, and then stare at Gan Rui, looking like she was on high alert.
If she saw Shu Yu there, she would push him into the house while she continued to keep an eye on him.
Gan Rui was very happy, but also very reserved, and his hands and feet were a little stiff in front of Meng Han.
Meng Han turned around and said to Shu Yu, "Gan Rui must be feeling guilty."
Shu Yu, "..."
She's not stupid; even if she's slow to realize things, she would have figured out Gan Rui's intentions.
This guy, he's got his eye on their girl, isn't he?
Shu Yu's impression of Gan Rui is currently quite good. He is warm-hearted, kind-hearted, loyal, and has a good nature. He also comes from a good family.
He can be a bit silly at times, but he is a scholar, so he has real talent and learning.
Meng Han is fourteen years old this year, and her family, Tao, is indeed looking for a suitable partner for her. She is already far along in her pregnancy and will be of marriageable age by the first half of next year, an age when wedding preparations can begin.
Shu Yu is the future daughter-in-law of the Meng family. No matter how good their relationship is, it's not appropriate for Shu Yu to interfere in her future sister-in-law's marriage.
However, she did care about Meng Han, and if there was a suitable partner, she would certainly hope that Meng Han would find a good match.
In particular, Tao's connections and knowledge were limited. During her trip back to the Meng family to pay respects to their ancestors, she overheard that many people were planning to propose marriage to the Meng family because of the imperial plaque bestowed upon them.
Tao's eyes were practically dazzled by the choices. She thought several of the men she liked came from decent family backgrounds, but she didn't know much about their character.
In other words, her personality has changed now. She consults with Uncle Meng on these matters and asks for Meng Han's opinion. Otherwise, based on her previous personality, she probably would have already made her choice.
From Shu Yu's perspective, the Tao family was truly the best choice for someone like Gan Rui.
Shu Yu thought that although Meng Han seemed to be clueless at the moment, who knew when she might suddenly fall in love? She needed to find out more about the Gan family beforehand so she could be mentally prepared.
