Chapter 1407 The Abbot of Dongqing Temple Leaves
Shu Yu placed the flowerpot back on the stone block, clapped her hands, and said, "Alright, let's go. We'll use the carriage."
Judging from this situation, Ah Yun probably doesn't lack a car.
Xia Yan walked her out of the backyard and back to the main hall in a daze, and then Shu Yu called for the abbots of the Western and Eastern Qing Temples to go out.
She had thought it through. Meng Yunzheng's future goal was to open a large academy, become its dean, educate students, and fulfill his grand ambition of having countless students all over the world.
He needs connections, fellow students who are also scholars, and he needs to increase his visibility.
With such an opportunity right in front of him, a chance to showcase his knowledge and talent, how could he miss it just because he spent more time with her?
These students might become his help in the future.
And then there's that Master Geng from the prefectural school...
He wanted to poach Meng Yunzheng to the prefectural academy? Little did he know, Meng Yunzheng would try to poach him instead.
Shu Yu felt that this was probably not a big problem for Meng Yunzheng. She would go back and make something delicious first, since today was a day to celebrate.
However, their joy was short-lived. Not long after they left the restaurant, Abbot Dongqing announced that it was time to leave.
Yes, she's going to the capital.
Shu Yu felt a chill run down her spine. "Master, it's getting late."
"Yes, it's only because you came looking for me that I left this morning."
Shu Yu, “…” So we can’t have a proper conversation anymore, huh?
“Master, it’s getting late and you can’t travel much further. Why don’t you rest for another night? Tomorrow, I’ll take you out of the city first thing tomorrow morning.”
The abbot of Dongqing Temple shook his head, looking at her with great satisfaction. "No need. Just take good care of yourself. We don't know when we'll meet again. Take care."
"Master..."
"Go back, no need to see me off."
Her mind was made up; further words from Shu Yu would be of no use.
Watching the abbot of Dongqing Temple turn and leave, Shu Yu felt quite sad.
We've only known each other for a few hours, why do we have to part again? It would have been better if we could have stayed one more night.
It wasn't until the figure of the abbot of Dongqing Temple walked further and further away that Shu Yu suddenly came back to her senses when Ying Xi called her softly from the side.
She took a deep breath. "It's okay, let's go. Let's buy some things first, and then go home."
Yingxi nodded, pulled on the reins, and the carriage drove forward.
However, Shu Yu's mood was affected to some extent. She had originally wanted to buy some of her master's favorite dishes to cook for her as a way of showing her filial piety, but she didn't expect to have no chance at all.
She also brought some melon seeds, instant noodles, and sunflower oil to give to her, but the abbess of Dongqing Temple refused them all.
She said she was traveling alone, relying on her two legs, and didn't need to cook for herself. She also didn't have a craving for food, so carrying these things would be a burden.
She only had two sets of clothes, traveling light and simply, carrying just a little money for protection.
If Shuyu wants to send it, then send it to Dongqing Temple.
But Shu Yu had already sent gifts to Dongqing Temple from the very beginning.
However, it was fine if she didn't want Shu Yu's things, but she also left all the various gifts she received from Zhongjia Village that morning in the carriage for Shu Yu to keep.
She ended up getting a lot of benefits from the trip.
Shu Yu sighed softly, and when she looked up, she met Ying Xi's worried gaze.
She immediately smiled and said, "I'm fine."
The two quickly went to the market to buy some ingredients and tools, and then happily returned to their courtyard.
However, a large crowd had gathered at the entrance of the courtyard.
