“Madam, I have already sorted out the list of gifts and money received today; please take a look.” Niu Fugui knocked on the door.
“Come in.” Zhou Ying said that after finishing, she looked up at the door.
After a while, she took the list and scanned it. “Is there anything wrong with business recently?”
“It’s going well. I don’t know if you still remember the small shop in the South City?”
“I remember, it’s the one next to the big carriage shop; what’s wrong? Did something happen?”
“Nothing much; it’s just that business is average there. My idea is, should we add some things or sell something else?”
“Oh, what good ideas do you have; do tell me.”
“Now the whole capital has returned to its former prosperity, and even the business in the South City is now very good.
“The business at the carriage shop is crowded with even more people.
So my idea is to change it to a proper small restaurant. The price of the food has gone up, and the income will naturally increase.
“Since you brought it up, you can try it for a month.
“Since you’re just adding to the original foundation, let’s see how it works.
“If it’s good, we’ll keep it. Otherwise, there’s no need to add it.
“Also, remember, that place is filled with a mixed bag of people; be careful and don’t let people trip you up.”
“I understand.” Niu Fugui turned and walked out.
Zhou Ying glanced at the gift list. This time, the one-month-old gifts were much more luxurious than those for Guoguo, and many more people attended.
It can be said that almost all the officials of the court in the capital came. No wonder Gu Chengrui was so tired.
However, this also gave her a warning. In the future, it is better to hold fewer such banquets. Otherwise, if this continues, the Emperor might have some other thoughts.
What she didn’t expect the most was that her ‘maiden family’ also sent someone to give a gift.
It was quite a gift, with the money alone amounting to 100 taels of silver, and some good supplements were in the bag.
At dinner, Zhou Ying asked, “Rui, did you know that the Zhou family came today?”
“Zhou family, Principal Zhou?”
“Yes, he also gave a gift, 100 taels of silver and some supplements, but I didn’t see anyone.”
“I didn’t see him either. It should have been someone else who came to give the gift.
“But you don’t have to worry. Many came uninvited, and we will just return the favor when the time comes.”
“It’s really troublesome.”
“I have already informed Uncle Niu about these people. He will help keep an eye on them. When someone sends a post or has something to ask of you, he will report to you.”
“Alright, you have worked hard. Leave the family affairs to me next. You just need to be busy with your medical centers.”
“Sure, but don’t overwork. If you can’t handle it, I will return and deal with it at night.” Gu Chengrui reminded her.
Now that he took care of it, he realized that the family’s affairs, especially caring for the two children, were exhausting.
However, he said this too early. The next day, he was summoned to the palace before going out.
After learning the purpose of the Emperor’s summoning him into the palace, Gu Chengrui, although mentally prepared, still reluctantly replied, “Your Majesty, the affairs of the medical centers are already busy enough, and I have to take care of the affairs of the agricultural school.
“Do you really want to give me more new tasks? I am also a mortal, not a man of iron.”
“I know, but I have no choice but to give you so many tasks.” The Emperor said helplessly..
