Chapter 1829: Many People at the Entrance

"Why not?" Lu Erbai thought it was quite possible. With his daughter's personality, as long as she was willing, she could get along with anyone.

Lu Sanzhu glanced at his second brother and gave him a look that said, 'You don't understand Ah Yu as well as I do.' He continued, "To become friends, both parties need to have similar temperaments, right? Ah Yu and that hypocritical County Princess are not the same type of person, so how could they become friends?"

Lu Erbai, "...", It was actually a reasonable argument, and he hated to admit that it made sense.

Lu Sanzhu continued chatting away, "Ah Yu has met her match this time. It seems people outside aren't as straightforward as those in our Jiangyuan County." Just like him, who had a simpler mindset.

Lu Erbai sighed and shook his head. He hadn't even met the person yet, so wasn't it too early to conclude?

"Alright, let's stop discussing this for now. We've arrived at the Meng Family Escort Agency." Lu Erbai spoke up, and the carriages came to a stop.

Lu Sanzhu pulled aside the curtain and looked out. "Oh," he exclaimed, "there are quite a few people at the entrance."

Grandma Lu also looked over, her brows slightly furrowed. "Are they all here for that County Princess?"

"Mother, judging from the situation, will the escort agency really not let us in?" Lu Sanzhu wondered.

The old lady couldn't say for sure either. She pushed Lu Sanzhu. "Go and ask."

Before Lu Sanzhu could get off, Lu Erbai had already stepped down from the carriage shaft. "I'll go."

Their two carriages stopped abruptly, drawing the attention of the people at the entrance. As Lu Erbai walked past, he inexplicably felt uncomfortable under the gazes of those people.

Finally reaching the gatehouse, as soon as he stated his identity, the gatekeeper froze.

"You, are you Master Lu from the Lu family?"

Lu Erbai nodded, and as he still had his travel permit from Jiangyuan County with him, the gatekeeper realized he had indeed come from there. Startled, he exclaimed, "Master Lu, please come in."

Lu Erbai gestured towards the two carriages behind him, and the gatekeeper immediately arranged for the door sill to be removed.

The warm reception surprised Lu Erbai.

He returned to the side of the carriage and said to the old lady, "Mother, let's go in. I inquired earlier, and those people outside aren't here for that County Princess. It seems they're interested in finding work at the Meng Family Escort Agency."

Ever since the Meng Family Escort Agency received the imperial plaque, there was initially a period when many people came to offer congratulations.

After that phase passed, there was an influx of people interested in becoming escorts.

Those with some martial arts skills signed up. After discussing it with Meng Pei and Meng Xiaoshu, they did intend to expand the escort agency. This rare opportunity was perfectly timed to consider whether they could leverage it to bring the Meng Family Escort Agency to greater prominence. At the very least, it would be a way to honor their ancestors by reviving the grandeur of their grandfather's time.

However, even though they wanted to expand, it couldn't be done recklessly, and not just anyone should be recruited. In fact, the selection process for personnel became even more stringent. So, the requirements were quite strict.

Originally, they thought that after listing the requirements, many people would be discouraged.

But surprisingly, everyone felt that the cautious approach was what earned the imperial plaque for the Meng Family Escort Agency, so it was only right that the conditions were stringent.

As a result, the number of applicants wasn't limited to Chenggu County alone. People from the neighboring county and even from the city came.

Therefore, in these past few days, there had been many people coming and going at the entrance of the escort agency. Some were interested in joining, while others were merely there to watch and see who the Meng Family had selected.

Meng Pei and Meng Xiaoshu were so busy that they were spread thin.
