Chapter 2093: Striking It Rich!

Shu Yu consoled her, "Grandmother, Ah Yun has confidence in the spring emperial examination, so you should believe in him."

Believe? Of course, Grandma Lu believed in him. After all, Meng Yunzheng was the only person she had seen who was busy everywhere, without even having time to read books, yet still achieved top honors in four consecutive exams.

However, believing was one thing, and she still worried about the unexpected.

Nevertheless, setting up a little school at home turned out to be very rewarding for Meng Yunzheng.

The children were thrilled, especially when the weather was cold. They could even have barbecue and hot pot indoors, making it lively and exciting.

Grandma Lu saw that Meng Yunzheng seemed unaffected and had no impact on him. In the end, she didn't say anything more.

A little over half a month later, it was the wedding day for Huaxian and Yingdong.

Their wedding was very simple, held at the Lu family's house, with family and friends present.

On the morning of the wedding, Huaxian, dressed in her wedding gown, emerged from Grandma Lu's courtyard. Her room was originally next to Grandma Lu's, while Yingdong's room was in the front courtyard.

Yingdong had specially prepared a sedan chair for her. They had someone carry Huaxian in the sedan chair, and she took a small detour in the backyard before arriving in the front courtyard.

The children followed along the way, and the sound of firecrackers never ceased. Despite the simple wedding, it was still lively and festive.

Huaxian was the most useful person by Grandma Lu's side. She accompanied Grandma Lu the most during normal days. Now that she was married, her wedding attire was naturally exquisite, and she even received extra dowry from Grandma Lu.

Apart from that, several masters of the Lu family also gave gifts. Overall, it was much more generous than the dowries for many other girls in Shishi Village.

From then on, Huaxian officially became Yingdong's wife.

However, she still stayed in the backyard during the day to serve Old Madam. At night, apart from occasional night shifts, she stayed in the front courtyard.

The Lu family had gained several more servants, including an additional maid and two more female attendants, so there was no need to worry.

After the wedding, it was almost the end of November, and it would be New Year's in just over a month.

Yuangui returned from the southwest on the third day of December.

He also brought back detailed maps of two routes, one leading to Linzhang Prefecture and the other being an official road and the smaller paths. Shu Yu was familiar with the official road, but the smaller paths were unfamiliar.

Yuangui's map was very detailed, showing which paths to take, which villages to pass through, and even the forests and lakes along the way.

He also brought information about the sales situation in Linzhang Prefecture, which matched the information Shu Yu received.

After Yuangui's return, Grandma Fang was the happiest. She knew that Yuangui wouldn't leave again before the New Year. Therefore, after a few days, she began to arrange for Yuangui and Xiang Di to get to know each other.

Shu Yu didn't know how their relationship was developing. After the Laba Festival, the Lu family started preparing for the New Year.

The house was lively, and Shu Yu started to close the accounts at the end of the year.

Last year, she received the accounts from Da Niu in Chenggu County. When she returned in May this year, she summarized them once. However, the Changjin Prefecture store had just opened at that time and was in the investment stage, so the accounts weren't very complete.

This time, Shu Yu received the accounts for the Jingcheng dried Fruit Shop, and Meng Yunzheng brought the accounts for Changjin Prefecture over when he returned.

Now, at the end of the year, it was time to calculate the income and expenses for these two years.

On December 15th, Shu Yu sat in the office of the workshop and worked for two or three days to finally clear all the accounts.

Looking at the figures on the books and the silver bills on hand, Shu Yu couldn't help but squint her eyes.

She's struck it rich!
