The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

"Why is it impossible?" Erbai thought it was quite possible. His daughter’s nature was such that, as long as she was willing, she could make friends with anyone.

Third Lu glanced at his second brother with a look of ’You don’t know Yu as well as I do,’ and said, "To become friends, two people need to have similar personalities. Yu and the hypocritical, reputation-seeking Wen’an County Lord are not of the same kind, so how could they become friends?"

Erbai, "..." Surprisingly, there’s logic and reasoning behind it; damned reasonable indeed.

Third Lu continued to speak eloquently, "This time, Yu has met her match. Indeed, people outside are not as simple as those from Jiangyuan County." Like him, he had simpler thoughts.

Erbai rubbed his forehead and shook his head. Jumping to conclusions before meeting the person seemed a bit premature.

"Alright, let’s not talk about it for now. We’ve arrived at the Meng family’s escort agency," Erbai spoke, and the carriage stopped alongside.

Third Lu lifted the carriage curtain to look outside, ’Whoa’ he exclaimed, "Quite a few people at the entrance."

The old lady also glanced over, her brow slightly furrowed, "Are all these people here for the Wen’an County Lord?"

"Mother, seeing this setup, the escort agency wouldn’t turn us away, would they?"

The old lady was uncertain. She gave Third Lu a nudge, "You go ask."

Before Third Lu could get down, Erbai had already stepped off the cart. "Let me go."

Their two carriages stopped rather abruptly, drawing the attention of people at the entrance who turned their heads to look at them. As Erbai made his way over, he inexplicably felt uneasy all over.

Finally, reaching the gatekeeper, as soon as he revealed his identity, the gatekeeper was stunned.

"You, you’re the Lord of the Lu family?"

Erbai nodded, carrying his travel permit. Upon inspection, the gatekeeper saw he was indeed from Jiangyuan County and immediately exclaimed, "Please, Lord Lu, come in."

Erbai pointed to the two carriages behind him, and the gatekeeper promptly arranged for someone to remove the threshold.

The enthusiastic reception left Erbai quite surprised.

He returned to the side of the carriage and said to the old lady, "Mother, let’s go in. I just inquired, and the people outside are not here for that Wen’an County Lord. They seem to want to find a job at the Meng family’s escort agency."

Ever since the Meng family’s escort agency received the imperial plaque, there was indeed a period when many came to offer congratulations.

After that period passed, it was quickly followed by those wanting to become escorts for the Meng family.

Anyone with a bit of martial arts prowess came to sign up, and Meng Pei and Uncle Meng discussed it. They indeed hoped to expand the escort agency. With such a rare opportunity, they intended to consider whether they could use this chance to flourish the Meng family’s escort agency, at least restoring the glory of their grandfather’s era, which would be considered an honor to the ancestors.

But even if they wanted to expand, they couldn’t be too reckless, accepting anyone. They needed to be more cautious in choosing personnel; hence the conditions were quite strict.

Originally, it was thought that listing the requirements would deter many.

Who knew people thought that the Meng family’s escort agency received the imperial plaque precisely because of its cautious attitude, believing strict conditions were warranted.

As a result, not only people from Chenggu County but also from neighboring county towns and even the prefecture came to sign up.

Thus, in recent days, many people frequently gathered at the entrance of the escort agency, some looking to seize the opportunity to join, and others just watching to see whom the Meng family would choose.

Meng Pei and Uncle Meng were extraordinarily busy, unable to attend to everything.
