“Although I’m not in the business, I can introduce someone to you. When do you want your servants?” Manager Xiao asked.
“The day after tomorrow. Please bring the people to the Gu residence in the third courtyard of Wutong Lane.”
Manager Xiao was shocked when he heard her address. If he remembered correctly, all the courtyards in Wutong Lane belonged to the royal family.
Immediately, he looked at her with a much more respectful gaze. He nodded repeatedly and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely bring the chosen ones over.”
“Yes, it’s best if they have a clean past. Those who have stolen or tried seducing their masters will not be accepted.”
“I will remember that.”
After the three of them separated, Zhou Ying she went to the vegetable market after noticing it was still early. However, there was no one except an old granny selling dried vegetables.
She returned empty-handed and found an empty spot to take out a five-pound grass carp from her interspace.
He returned and asked Granny Ma to go to the kitchen and get her some pickled vegetables.
She began pickling the fish. Zhou Ying had originally wanted to call the Third Prince over for a meal but did not expect the Third Prince to not return to the residence that night.
In the end, Zhou Ying had to split some between Granny Ma and the others. The couple then ate the rest of the fish with steamed buns.
After entering the interspace at night, Zhou Ying told Gu Chengrui about her shop purchase and said, “Every inch of land in the capital is really gold. Just a small shop in the city’s south sold for 1,500 taels.”
“It’s not expensive, especially when it was even more expensive five years ago.” Gu Chengrui then asked, “Oh right, we’ve been spending a lot recently. Do we still have enough money?”
“We should have enough as we have spent less than 10,000 taels of silver. Previously, we had saved up about 90,000 taels of silver.”
Gu Chengrui was stunned for a moment after hearing that before remembering they had received a massive amount of money from the Qiao family. He nodded and said, “As long as we’ve got enough, there’s no problem.
“Oh, right, 1 have to get some more silver to buy a tarp to cover the shed.”
“Wait, but planting a greenhouse is your work experiment. Doesn’t the Department of Agriculture have public funds?”
“No, and I don’t want to use it even if there’s one. I was thinking of selling some off-season vegetables for money to celebrate the New Year. If I used public funds, I wouldn’t be able to sell the vegetables for our gains.”
“I see; take as much as you want. There are still more than 2,000 taels in the villa.”
“Alright.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, the two of them went to work.
After finishing her work, Zhou Ying remembered that she hadn’t made a custom-made door sign for the new house.
Thus, she busied herself with finding the right words.
Zhou Ying then asked Gu Chengrui to write the two words ‘Gu manor’ in regular script.
She also asked him to meet the Third Prince to make an appointment for a meal together tomorrow night.
The next day, after breakfast, she first rushed to make a door sign at the woodworking shop.
Later, she brought Granny Ma to the market to buy a packet of pork ribs, a strip of pork belly, a carp, a portion of pork intestine, and a dozen eggs.
In the afternoon, she got busy cooking a feast in her small courtyard.
When Qiao Lanlan learned that Zhou Ying and the others were about to move out in the evening, she immediately became anxious.
Once they moved away, it would be difficult for her to do what she planned to do in the future.
However, she had no sterilization medicine on her hands, so she had to look for her superior.
After the servant understood her intentions, he lifted his leg and kicked her in the stomach. “Preposterous. Did you think what I said to you last time was in vain? You don’t need to do anything to her.
“Your main goal is to wait for King Rui’s concubine to enter here. If you spoil our plan, everyone on our side will die.”
“But it’s been a few days, and she’s still alive and well.”Qiao Lanlan huffed indignantly.
“Idiot, the Emperor has just rewarded them, so do you think the Emperor will stand by and watch if something happens to them?
“In short, you just have to wait. You’d better not act rashly.” After the servant finished speaking, he saw someone coming over and quickly casually switched to a different topic.. “Are you sure you want the red one?”
