Chapter 1958: Qingming festival

Shu Yu nodded, indicating that she understood.

Not only had Xia Yan prepared the necessary items, but Shu Yu had also mad her own preparations.

The next day, when Meng Yunzheng came to pick her up, the carriage was almost filled to the brim with various offerings for the Qingming festivals.

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile.

On the way to Chenggu County, there were many people traveling, all heading back to their hometowns to perform Qingming sacrifices to their ancestors. As a result, the carriage's progress was slower than usual, and it wasn't until evening that they finally arrived at the Meng family's escort agency.

They stayed at the Meng family's escort agency for a night and set off early the next morning.

Meng Xiaoshu, whose health had greatly improved, led the way, visiting his parents' graves first to offer incense. Then, they left Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng to tend to things on their own. Meng Xiaoshu's son and daughter, Meng Qi and Meng Han, helped clear the weeds, while Meng Yunzheng took Shu Yu to pay respects at Song Xin's grave, offering incense with great respect.

Meng Xiaoshu watched them, kneeling before the grave as he spoke, "Father, Mother, can you see it? Our Meng family is doing well now. During the New Year, I was injured and couldn't come to visit you, but now I'm completely recovered. You don't need to worry; the injury wasn't severe. It was worth it, as I earned our family an imperial plaque. Impressive, right?"

He chattered on, and Meng Qi and Meng Han, who were nearby, exchanged amused glances, unable to help but stifle their laughter.

Meng Xiaoshu was quite pleased with himself. "I've learned to let go now. Ah Cheng doesn't have the talent for studying, so I won't force him. With our Meng Family Escort Agency doing so well, he'll have a promising future inheriting it. As for his studies, we have Ah Yun; he's a scholar and even an official now, working under Lord Qi. His wife is the county princess, and he's sure to have a successful career. The two brothers have a good relationship now and can support each other in the future. You can rest assured."

He couldn't restrain himself, and the words poured out for a long time. Only when Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu returned did he finally stop.

Meng Xiaoshu stood up, looking at the two of them, and said, "You two should also talk to your grandparents."

Meng Yunzheng nodded, saying, "Grandfather, Grandmother, from now on, Ah Yun will be filial to Father and uncle Xiaoshu. He will take good care of his younger siblings and ensure that the Meng Family Escort Agency continues to flourish."

There were some things he couldn't say aloud, but he hoped that their ancestors could understand. Even though he didn't share the Meng family's bloodline, he had always held the Meng family close to his heart.

Meng Xiaoshu then beckoned to Meng Qi and Meng Han, saying, "You two also need to speak to your grandparents, and promise to start your own families and careers soon."

Meng Qi and Meng Han looked at each other helplessly and then stated their resolutions in front of their grandparents. Once everyone had finished speaking, the family descended from the hill.

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng hadn't been back for quite some time, and the Meng Family Escort Agency had undergone significant changes.

Meng Xiaoshu was genuinely concerned about Shu Yu's store. Even though he didn't know much about business matters, he couldn't help but be impressed by how capable Shu Yu was at such a young age. As a result, when Meng Han expressed her desire to continue learning from Shu Yu, Meng Xiaoshu eagerly agreed.

For some reason, Shu Yu felt her eyelid twitching uncontrollably.

The next day, when they returned to the city, Meng Han arrived with a large bundle, indicating that she intended to stay and continue learning from Shu Yu.

After returning to the city, Shu Yu went straight to her store. Then, she heard from Jiang Fengshou, "Young Miss, today Master Gan has come to visit once again."
