“Alright, as long as you don’t bust our cover.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll crush the medicine and mix it in with some syrup. As long as she doesn’t have a laboratory to test it, she won’t find out.”

“Just be careful.” After Zhou Ying reminded him, she handed him a bottle of relatively ordinary blood pressure medicine.

After a moment of hesitation, she also took out a bottle of fast-acting blood pressure medicine and handed it to him.

Gu Chengrui took it and kissed her on the cheek. “You go ahead and go to sleep first. Remember, come and pick me up tomorrow once I’m done over there.”

After saying that, he went up to the villa’s second floor.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying got up to wash the pots and bowls, showered, and left her inters.p.a.ce.

She set a vibrating alarm on her phone and placed it beside her pillow in case she overslept.

The next day, after Gu Chengrui finished morning court, he went to the Imperial Residence of King An. He returned to the residence after giving the blood pressure medicine that he had altered to Madam Consort An.

After the couple ate lunch, Zhou Ying stood up and asked, “Are you going to the manor?”

“That’s right, the Emperor has already approved of the greenhouse experiment, so 1 can go to the manor after reporting to the government office daily.”

“I’ll go with you. I’m getting rusty staying here.” Zhou Ying stood up and said.

“Sure, but you have to change into some old clothes.”

“Of course.” Zhou Ying changed her clothes and went to the government office with him.

However, she did not go in. Instead, she waited at the entrance. Once Gu Chengrui came back out, there were four people behind him.

After some introductions, Zhou Ying learned that these four were a.s.sistants sent to help him by his higher-ups.

However, only one of the a.s.sistants, Chen He, was an actual seventh-grade official. The other three were all former soldiers.

After some small talk, Gu Chengrui ushered them into their carriage and rushed to the manor.

When they arrived at the manor, Zhou Ying saw that a big shed had already been built. She asked Head Fang to call a few farmers and young, strong women over.

She began to lead them in cultivating sweet potato seedlings. This way, they could have a harvest as soon as possible, solving the problem of food shortages in the manor and their residences as quickly as possible.

Gu Chengrui smiled and let her be when he saw this. Later, he brought Chen He and the other three to get busy.

When they returned home at night, it was already dark. As soon as they entered their residence, Qiu Niang came over and said, “Mistress, Butler Feng brought four people with him today. He said that those are people given by his master to guard the courtyard.”

“Yes, 1 request King Rui for these four people. I’ll talk to them later.” Gu Chengrui said at this moment.

“Alright.” Qiu Niang continued, “There’s also Zhou Dong’s matter. Butler Feng mentioned that he’d be working at a teahouse tomorrow. Mistress, do you know about this?”

“I am aware of this. Didn’t Zhou Dong mention he wanted to do business previously?

“Because he had no prior business experience and had no idea how to manage it, 1 wanted to take advantage of the time now and allow him to learn quickly so that he wouldn’t be caught off guard in the future.”

“I see. Thank you for your arrangements, Mistress.” Qiu Niang bowed excitedly.

“Mother Qiu, you don’t have to be so polite. Alright, hurry up and arrange for lunch; we’re all hungry.”

“Of course.”

After Mother Qiu left, the couple quickly washed up and ate lunch.

Today’s dishes were sumptuous. In addition to the flour paste noodles and black steamed buns, there was steamed meat with vermicelli, fish b.a.l.l.s and radishes, stir-fried cabbages, and a bowl of steamed garlic eggplant.

As Zhou Ying ate, she wrote down the dishes’ shortcomings and strengths and handed them to Shizhu, asking her to pa.s.s them on to Biaozi.

After entering the inters.p.a.ce at night, Gu Chengrui asked, “Shouldn’t we think of a way to get some rice out? Otherwise, it’s tough to swallow eating flour paste noodles twice a day..”
