Meng Yunzheng's lips curled up, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes. "Auntie, I'm afraid that won't do. I came to the city to study, and I rarely go out, so I might not be as familiar with this place as Uncle."
Meng Yunzheng's uncle immediately chimed in, "Exactly, exactly. Ah Yun came here to study, so he wouldn't know which medical clinic is good and which doctor is skilled. Didn't I tell you before I came? I know two highly skilled doctors. I'll take you and Ah Qin to see them tomorrow."
Tao Shi's expression stiffened, and she exchanged a glance with Tao Qin. Both of them fell silent.
Shu Yu just watched like a spectator, Tao Shi's intentions were too obvious.
Meng Yunzheng ignored Tao Shi and turned to look inside and outside the courtyard, not seeing Dongqing's Daoist Master. He then looked at Shu Yu with some suspicion.
"Where's Master?"
"Gone."
Meng Yunzheng didn't ask any further. He was quite familiar with Dongqing Temple Master's casual nature. After meeting Shu Yu, he probably went straight to the capital.
He nodded and turned to chat with his uncle.
Tao Shi couldn't join the conversation, so she could only signal to Tao Qin to get closer to Meng Yunzheng.
However, Tao Qin was eyeing Shu Yu, seemingly eager to win her over.
Shu Yu resisted the urge to roll her eyes. This woman seemed to have some problems with her thinking. She had Meng Yunzheng as her target, but she was dealing with Shu Yu? It made no sense.
Thankfully, before long, Ying Xi returned with several dishes from a nearby restaurant.
Meng Yunzheng invited everyone to sit down, and Tao Shi's eyes wandered. She saw that Meng Yunzheng's uncle had already sat next to Meng Yunzheng, so she quickly called her daughter, "Ah Han, sit next to your brother and get to know each other better. After all, you haven't seen each other for so many years. Have a nice chat."
She didn't push Tao Qin towards Meng Yunzheng, as that would be too obvious and inappropriate.
But seating her daughter next to her nephew would separate him from Shu Yu.
Shu Yu found Tao Shi's childish behavior very speechless, but Meng Yunzheng furrowed his brow when he saw the arrangement. He told Meng Han, who was about to sit down, "Ah Han, sit over here. I have something to talk to Ah Yu about."
Meng Han hesitated for a moment but obediently moved to the side.
Tao Shi glared at her with a bit of frustration but couldn't say much.
Shu Yu nodded at Meng Han and took a seat gracefully.
Meng Yunzheng's uncle was indeed a good drinker, and especially today, he was particularly happy. As soon as he sat down, he filled his cup, "Come, Ah Yun, have a few drinks with your uncle. Our old Meng family is now in the limelight. You don't know, for several generations, the Meng family has been a family of warriors. When it comes to studying, we get headaches, let alone taking the imperial examinations. In this big family, only one Jinshi scholar has emerged in these decades. But you, you're the only one in our old Meng family who has become a scholar with honors. Hahaha."
He patted Meng Yunzheng's shoulder, "I believe, with your talent and ability, becoming a Jinshi scholar and then passing the imperial examinations is definitely not a problem. When you become an official, our old Meng family's ancestors will be pleased. Ah Yun, you're amazing, and your uncle is proud of you."
Meng Yunzheng didn't drink much and just listened quietly.
But Tao Shi and Tao Qin were excited by Meng Yunzheng's uncle's words.
Yes, Meng Yunzheng achieved honors and is a Jinshi scholar. Passing the imperial examinations shouldn't be difficult for him. If they marry him, they would become an official's wife.
