“Alright, let’s see how it goes. If Chengrui is willing to take you in, don’t act like a spoiled brat. There’s no harm in learning from him.”
“Got it. This stationery set is great, so can you help me keep it well? 1 have to go to the academy.”
“Safe trip, and remember what I said. Think before acting when encountering something, and don’t be impulsive.”
“1 understand.” Yang Chenglin affirmed this as he walked out with the embroidered purse.
On the other end, Zhou Ying smiled after watching them. These two young people seemed promising, and she did not help them in vain.
As for how much she could help them, it would depend on their performance.
In Shanghe Village, the patriarch was brushing a cow when Manager Liu came in with a letter and said, “Brother Gu, congratulations to you and the Gu Clan.” The patriarch was stunned by what he said and asked, “Brother Liu? Come in and take a seat.”
After saying that, he tied the cow to the side and invited Manager Liu into his house. After sitting down, he poured him a cup of water and asked, “Brother Liu, what’s the congratulations about?”
“Because of the promotion of sweet potatoes, the Emperor has already forgiven the Gu family.
“Under the Ministry of Works, a new branch is formed, named the Department of Agriculture. Gu Chengrui is now a third-grade officer of the Department of Agriculture, specializing in researching ways to increase grain production.” “Really? That’s great! It seems that our Gu Clan has hope again.”
“Indeed, but you still have to keep a low profile.”
“1 understand.”
Seeing this, Manager Liu took out Gu Chengrui’s letter and said, “I heard that all the men of the Gu family had gone away on long trips. It’s not convenient for me to visit them alone, so I specially came to request help from Brother Gu to deliver these two letters to the Gu family.”
“Alright, let’s go over.” The patriarch stood up afterwards. He informed his wife, Mrs. Gu, and brought Manager Liu to the Gu family.
“Uncle, Shopkeeper Liu, what a rare combination! What brings the both of you here?” Gu Chengxi, drying herbs in the courtyard, immediately approached them and invited them into the living room.
“Didn’t you go to town to study medicine? Are you slacking off?” The patriarch turned his head and asked Gu Chengxi.
“Oh, I was there half a day in the morning and came back in the afternoon to study by myself.”
“Good. It is great that you are now allowed to practice medicine alone. Don’t waste this chance.”
After saying that, the three of them reached the living room.
Hearing the commotion, Madam Qiao also came out of her room with the help of Mrs. Yao. Seeing the three of them, she immediately invited them to take a seat.
After the patriarch sat down, he said quickly, “Third Aunt, Manager Liu has brought us good news. The Gu clan was acquitted because of Gu Chengrui and the others’ promotion of sweet potatoes.
“Moreover, Gu Chengrui has also become a third-grade official.”
“Really?” Mrs. Yao asked with a face full of surprise.
“Why would 1 lie to you about such a thing?” The patriarch smiled and nodded.
Manager Liu nodded and handed the two letters to the old madam. “These are two letters sent by Officer Gu. Please take a look and see if there is a need to reply.
“If there is, write it down and send it to my manor. They will hand it over to me.”
“1 really appreciate it. I can die in peace now, knowing that the Gu Clan will not face any punishment during my lifetime.” Madam Qiao was overjoyed when she received the message.
“Good days are coming in the future. You have to take care of yourself and live to an old age.” Manager Liu stood up and added, “1 still have something to do, so 1 won’t disturb you anymore. Goodbye.”
“1 see. I’ll send you off.” The patriarch sent Manager Liu out after that.
Madam Qiao hurriedly followed Mrs. Yao and then asked Gu Chengxi to gather everyone at home, including Mrs. Liu and her daughter, who were in the tea shop.
After everyone had arrived, Madam Qiao gave the letter to the patriarch and said, “Qingzhi, read it..”
