After he left, Gu Chengrui first fed the medicine to the unconscious Zhou Huaiming, then gave him the teta.n.u.s shot.
“What happened?” Zhou Ying asked after he was done. “How did he get so badly injured?”
“He was injured when he went to the mountain to guard that position. Because he delayed the treatment, he got infected.”
“I see.
“By the way, do you lack medicine at the border? Do you want me to take some from the inters.p.a.ce and send it to you?”
“That’s good. Now that there’s a war here, there’s not much stock left. Send some over.
“Oh right, also send me some more tear powder.”
Zhou Ying nodded. She picked out a batch of medicinal herbs that he could use, especially the medicinal herbs needed for stopping bleeding, and placed them directly in the General’s residence.
Gu Chengrui yawned. “I’ve been very busy recently. I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to contact you much. I’ll leave the family to you.”
“Got it. How’s the war going? Any progress?”
“Two wins and one loss. There are more people over there, so I’m afraid it will take some time.”
“Got it. Rest well.” After Zhou Ying said her goodbyes, she withdrew and began to busy herself with other things.
One day, Zhou Ying was doing the accounts when Qiuxiang ran over and knocked on her door. “Mistress, Mrs. Yao is here.”
“Mrs. Yao? Does she want something?”
“No, she came here to send gifts for the August Festival.”
“Ah. We should also start preparing for that.
“Ask them to wait for a moment. I’ll be right there.” Zhou Ying returned to the main room after checking the accounts at hand.
“Madam,” Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yang stood up immediately when they saw her come in.
“Have a seat. Is everything alright at home?” Zhou Ying asked Qiuxiang to prepare some fruits.
“It’s alright. Our family opened a grocery store and sold some goods from the south and north. Business is not bad.”
“That’s good news. You guys can be considered to have established yourselves in the capital.”
“Yes, I’m finally not that anxious anymore. By the way, do you have any plans for Chenglin’s marriage?” Mrs. Yao asked.
“Did someone ask you about something?” Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment.
“Yeah, Chengxi and Chenglin aren’t young anymore. Someone asked me, so I came to ask for your opinion.”
“Chenglin is still young, so his marriage isn’t urgent.
“Besides, there’s still the Emperor and Empress’s decision. What I mean is that we don’t need to care about his marriage. Once it’s settled, we can just help arrange it.”
Mrs. Yao nodded after hearing this. She thought that since Gu Chenglin was on her side, she would be the one to decide on his marriage. It seemed that she was wrong.
“As for Chengxi’s marriage,” Zhou Ying continued, “you, Second Uncle, and Auntie Sun need to be involved.
“As long as you don’t look for our sworn enemies, you can decide.
“However, marriage is a lifelong event, after all. He has to agree to it himself.
Otherwise, it will be troublesome if it becomes a grudge.”
“That’s true.” Mrs. Yao nodded in agreement.
After chatting for a while, they stayed for lunch before leaving.
On the way back, Mrs. Yao sighed and said, “You should go back to your mother’s house and tell them not to have any ideas about Chenglin.
“I reckon that since Chenglin has the support of the Emperor and Empress, he should at least marry a n.o.ble daughter.”
“Got it.” Mrs. Yang nodded indifferently.
After the previous ups and downs, she did not think it was good for a woman to marry a man in a high position, so she disagreed with her mother’s marriage proposal.
As soon as they left, Zhou Ying, Kuihua, and Qiuxiang also started to get busy preparing the August gifts for each family..
