In the blink of an eye, it was the opening day of the cake shop.
Zhou Ying went to the two shops to look around. After confirming that they could decorate the cakes perfectly, she took two pounds of cake and two pounds of date desserts and sent them to the academy for Gu Chenglin before returning home.
When it was almost the twelfth of the month, Zhou Huaiming finally rushed back and gave them a letter.
Then, he went to the palace to look for the Emperor.
The Emperor looked at his travel-worn appearance and hurriedly asked Eunuch Qian to fetch him water to wash up. He also asked someone to prepare tea and snacks for him.
B0x.comHows Dongyang doing? The Emperor asked Zhou Huaiming after he was almost done eating.
Very good; since last time, the Far East really hasnt sent any more troops.
Yunhe County had also regained its former prosperity. Everything went smoothly when they escorted the rations over.
Uncle Liu has also cleared out all the unidentified people in Yunhe County.
Thats good. Yunhe County is not only important to the navy but also to the entire country, so we must firmly grasp it in our hands.
I understand. By the way, I wonder if you have any plans for Princess Mingyus marriage? Zhou Huaiming asked.
Princess Mingyu? I have no objections. Lets see what King An thinks. What? Have you taken a fancy to Princess Mingyu? The Emperor asked with a faint smile.
Ahem. Zhou Huaiming didnt hide anything from him and told him about Mingyu confessing to him before he left.
The Emperor was surprised when he heard this. He knew that Mingyu was a carefree person, but he didnt expect that she would dare to confess to a man. So, did you agree? he asked.
I, I also think shes not bad.
If the retired Emperor doesnt interfere, we can get in touch with each other more. If we think its suitable, then we can settle down.
The Emperor understood his concerns when he heard this. To put it bluntly, he feared the Imperial Family would interfere with Mingyus marriage.
He wouldnt, but he couldnt say whether his father would or not.
I understand what you mean. Ill give you an answer tomorrow.
Thank you, Emperor. If you have no other instructions, I will go home now. Zhou Huaiming stood up.
On the other end, Zhou Ying opened a letter from Gu Chengxi.
It was said that Gu Chengye and Gu Chengsi from the patriarchs family had passed the imperial examinations after autumn.
They would be coming to the capital for another imperial examination next spring, so he asked if she could help arrange accommodation.
Another thing was that the old madams health was worsening. She hoped that they would come back to visit when they were free.
Finally, there were some things about their family matters.
What Zhou Ying did not expect was that Father Gu had taken in another concubine. It was an 18-year-old girl who was now pregnant and was making trouble at home with Mrs. Liu every day.
After Zhou Ying finished reading it, she put it away.
Anyway, she would not care about the Gu familys trivial matters.
As for entertaining them, there were several empty courtyards in the house anyway. It would be a matter of two more sets of bowls and chopsticksnot a big deal.
After Gu Chengrui returned, Zhou Ying gave him the letter.
After Gu Chengrui finished reading it, he sneered, Hes vigorous despite his old age.
I know, right? But should we give the old lady some supplements?
Dont worry about this. Ill handle it. Gu Chengrui said, Oh right, Ive chosen a place to open my hospital. Its a three-entry courtyard in the western part of the city.
After some simple repairs, it can open for business next spring.
Its good to choose the west district, as the east is mostly the home of the royal family and officials. There are imperial physicians who can be summoned at any time, so theres no need for a hospital there. Zhou Ying nodded in agreement..
