At night, because too many people were in the residence, everyone did not eat together.

However, the food was great. Zhou Ying and the others had eight dishes and one soup, while the servants had six dishes and one soup.

Before the banquet began, the couple walked around and gave a few words of blessing before returning to the main courtyard. The family of three, including Gu Chenglin, had a lively New Year’s Eve dinner.

After dinner, the three of them played with Guoguo for a while. When she was sleepy, Zhou Ying brought Guoguo back to the room.

Gu Chengrui asked Gu Chenglin questions about his life and studies.

“I’ll say it again,” he said after knowing he was fine. “Your sister has a special status now. You must be careful when making friends and doing things.”

“I understand. The Emperor has also asked our teacher to take care of me. He said he would let me formally acknowledge Grand Scholar Sun as my teacher after becoming a scholar.”

Gu Chengrui was deep in thought after hearing that. It seemed like the Emperor would arrange for Grand Scholar Sun to stand behind Gu Wanning, or rather, the Eldest Prince.

He nodded. “Very good. Learn well. Don’t let down the Emperor’s goodwill.”

“I understand.” Gu Chenglin nodded.

“By the way, how’s the situation outside?” he asked.

“Are you curious?”

“I an. The furthest I’ve been out since birth was to return to my hometown. I haven’t left the capital yet.”

“How about going out with me next year?” Gu Chengrui suggested.

“Really?”

“Yes, but it’ll take at least half a year.

“If you want to go, go to the academy and ask your teacher for instructions. Ask him to plan a course for you. Don’t come back and be unable to keep up with the progress.”

“I understand.”

After that, Gu Chengrui told him about what he had seen along the way. It was not until midnight that the two of them returned to their rooms to sleep.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when Second Uncle Gu’s family came over to pay their New Year’s greetings, Gu Chengrui mentioned to Gu Chengxi about the study tour.

Before Gu Chengxi could say anything. Second Uncle Gu replied with surprise, “Yes, as long as you don’t think he’s a burden, let him go.

“He’s not young anymore. It’s time for him to go out and see the world.”

Firstly, the family was counting on Gu Chengxi to get an official rank. With Gu Chengrui’s help, he would be able to proceed on his journey more smoothly.

Another reason was that Gu Chengrui’s status was getting higher and higher. If they did not take the initiative to stick to him, they might be pushed aside at any time.

Gu Chengxi was naturally willing and quickly nodded.

“Alright, let your headmaster know. You guys, get ready.”

Gu Chengxi nodded repeatedly with vigor.

Gu Chenglin was also very happy after hearing that. This way, he would have a companion when travelling.

Zhou Ying naturally understood that he was paving the way for Gu Wanning.

Since Gu Chengxi was a decent man, she did not mind helping him.

On the sixth day of the month, after the morning court session, Gu Chengrui went to the Emperor and said, “Your Majesty, I’ve decided to leave the capital tomorrow. I’ll continue setting up medical centers in various places.”

“I’ll have to trouble you for this. The sooner it’s done, the sooner the people can benefit from it.” The Emperor handed him a gold medal and added, “Xiao Heng will gather information for you in advance.

“Let him go with you this time, but let him be in the dark while you are in the open.

“At the same time, investigate the local officials. If they go too far, you can deal with them directly.”

Gu Chengrui was stunned for a moment. He took the gold medal and said, “Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. However, we can make the decision for small matters. You have to make the decision for the big ones.”

The Emperor smiled and said, “Oh, you.

“Alright, if there’s anything troublesome, we can ask for Mother God’s help to send a message for us.

“However, give a thousand taels of incense money every time you ask for her help. When you come back, I will reimburse you..”
