“Thank you for your hard work,” Gu Chengrui said after he sat down.

“You’re welcome.

“By the way, after you come back this time, you don’t have to run around anymore, right?”

“No, but the Emperor wants me to train some more surgeons. But when the time comes, I can just summon them to the capital for training.”

“That’s good. Guoguo is growing every day. If you continue running around, you’ll miss her growth.”

“Indeed, she has changed a lot this year. Not only has she grown taller, but her words have also become more eloquent.”

“She can run fast now. Carrying her is even more tiring than the next day.”

“I’ll take her back later.”

The two of them chatted while eating. Soon, the meal was over.

After the meal, Gu Chengrui said, “During the morning court session today, the Emperor rewarded me according to my merits. He rewarded me with 10,000 taels of silver and a hot spring manor.

“You also got a set of gold, jade jewelry, and ten bolts of cloth.”

“Mine?” Zhou Ying asked in surprise.

“It’s a meritorious deed to catch spies. He even gave less than expected.”

“That’s good. To be honest, I’ve been envious of other people’s hot springs for a long time. Now that we have one too, I’ll bring Guoguo to the hot springs later.”

“No problem; I will definitely bring you two there before the new year.” Gu Chengrui nodded in agreement.

After that, the two chatted for a while. Once they received the reward, Gu Chengrui changed into his regular clothes and went to his hospital.

Zhou Ying wanted to take a nap, but she couldn’t. Thus, she brought Guoguo to deliver the New Year’s gift to the Zhou family.

However, she prepared two more jars of 20 pounds of home-brewed white wine before she left.

As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the Zhou family’s residence, she saw many people coming and going—primarily matchmakers.

Zhou Ying waited outside for a while until there were fewer people before she entered the residence with her gifts.

She told Niu Lirong to talk it over with the Zhou residence’s steward while she brought Guoguo to the central courtyard.

“Could those people be here to matchmake Brother Huaiyu?” She asked the tired Mingyu when they met up.

“Exactly. They are here to matchmake my brother. There are even some who are matchmaking for my father-in-law. I’m exhausted.”

“It looks like Brother Huaiyu is quite popular. Is there anyone suitable?”

Mingyu shook her head. “I don’t know. I just need to collect the list of women, and the rest is up to my father-in-law and brother.”

Zhou Ying saw that Guoguo couldn’t sit still and nodded. “That’s true. Oh right, where’s Zhuangzhuang?”

“His father carried him to the front courtyard, as his father is looking forward to meeting him.”

“That’s normal. That’s his eldest grandson.

“But now that they’re back, you can relax a little.”

“I hope so. By the way, are you here to give me a gift?”

“That’s right. The sooner I send it, the sooner I’ll be at ease.”

“Nice. Give me another 100 pounds of wine later.”

“There’s no more.”

“No more?”

“That’s right, there’s no more. Everyone ordered more last year, even after we’d more or less increased the quant.i.ty. There’s no more left.”

“Each and every one of them is more scheming than the others.”

“If you need it for something, I can give you my share.”

“No need for that. It’s just that last night, my father-in-law and eldest brother had the wine, and I saw that they liked it, so I wanted to add more to my order.

“If there’s no more, then forget it.”

“It’s fine. I’ll give you 20 pounds more later.”

“Thank you.” Just as Mingyu thanked Zhou Ying, a servant girl came to report to her. “Madam, another matchmaker has come to visit.”

“Oh my G.o.d, this is endless. Just tell them that I have guests and that they can come another day.”

“Don’t. You shouldn’t offend a matchmaker; go out and meet her. I have nothing to do here, so I’ll go back first.” Zhou Ying stood up and prepared to leave..
