When Grandma Lu and the others turned their heads, they saw the young couple holding hands.
They exchanged a glance and continued talking to the old fortune teller.
The old fortune teller, who had already explained everything, thought to herself, "Are they still not leaving?"
With Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng's wedding date set for May 26th next year, most of the preparations could be done gradually. However, Shu Yu needed to figure out the guest list for the wedding.
As Grandma Lu had said, whether their acquaintances would come was up to them, but major events like this required invitations.
Unfortunately, as she pondered over it, she couldn't figure out how to start.
When Meng Yunzheng entered the room, he saw her messing up a piece of paper with vague beginnings of a few lines of text.
He placed a peeled pomelo on the table and casually offered her a slice, asking, "What are you doing?"
Shu Yu took a few bites and mumbled, "Writing a letter."
She put the pen down, saying, "My grandmother said I should send letters to acquaintances. I don't know how to begin."
Meng Yunzheng pondered for a moment. "The people you are more familiar with are mainly from a few places. One is the Lin Zhang Prefecture. People like Fang Xiyue and Wang Changdong have good relations with you, but they definitely won't be able to come. Another is the Changjin Prefecture, my hometown; we can slowly discuss that later. Then there's the acquaintances you know in the capital, like prime Minister Qi, Uncle Yao, Minister Jing, and others. Based on my knowledge of them, there's a high probability they will send gifts."
Shu Yu nodded repeatedly. "Yes."
Meng Yunzheng had a good idea of what she was struggling with. He sat down beside her, took the pen from her hand, and said, "You don't need to worry about covering every detail. Some things can't be perfectly tailored to everyone's expectations. Remember how it was done at Lin Zhang Prefecture back then? When Fang Xiyue and Malu got married, she sent you a letter and wedding candies, and you replied in kind. She informed you of the good news and wanted to share the joy with you. You can use the same approach."
"As for the capital, you don't need to think too much either. After participating in the palace examination and arriving in the capital, you can personally visit them to show your respect. By that time, there's no need to send letters."
"As for Changjin Prefecture, the people you are familiar with are the ones I know. Leave that matter to my father."
He clarified everything for Shu Yu, so she wouldn't feel overwhelmed.
"In addition to that, there are people from Dong'an Prefecture. They are nearby, and you can inform them when the wedding is approaching. As for your mentor... it might be difficult to contact her."
Shu Yu nodded, "For my master, I can only ask if sister Qiu and the others have any news. If not, there's nothing I can do. However, there's one more person in the capital whom I really want to invite."
"Who?" Meng Yunzheng couldn't think of who she was referring to for a moment.
"It's the Hou family's Lady Hou and Sixth Sister. You know that I have a good relationship with them since Lady Hou became the concubine of Master Wan. They're in the capital, but I'm considering writing them a letter to ask about their thoughts. If they can come, it would be a good thing, and we can start preparing early."
After thinking about it, Meng Yunzheng nodded. "Then go ahead and write that letter."
This time, Shu Yu's hand moved swiftly, and she finished writing the letter quickly, feeling relieved.
