Chapter 740: Chapter 740 Entering The Palace

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When it was time to leave at night, Gu Chengrui told him how to plant perillas.

The next day, Gu Chengrui took some medicinal herb seeds and went to the farm that the government had bought. He scattered the medicinal herb seeds all over the mountain.

“Gu Chengsi asked me if we should go back together. What do you think?” Zhou Ying asked after she was done with the arrangements for the manor.

Gu Chengrui was silent for a moment before saying, “Isn’t the madam in poor health? Chenglin and I definitely have to go back.

“As for you, the transportation now is inconvenient, and you’re pregnant, so it’s better if you don’t go back and forth.”

“Alright. When you go back, prepare more gifts for each family.

“Also, get Sun Hongliang to start building workshops. First, build a vermicelli workshop and a tofu workshop. We will need tofu strips and fermented bean curd.”

“Actually, we can also ask them to produce chili oil, beef sauce, mushroom sauce, and so on.

“There are many boats in Qingshui Town, and the humidity on the boats is heavy. It’s inconvenient for the sailors to carry food, so we can sell these products there.”

“That’s right. When you head back, see if you can get everyone to plant more chili. If not, we can only wait until next year.”

“Understood. Leave this to me.”

In the next few days, Zhou Ying began to prepare all kinds of gifts for Gu Chengrui to bring back, including gifts for Manager Liu and some other good friends.

After the two of them were almost done with their work, Gu Chengrui went to the palace to look for the Emperor. He wanted Gu Wanning, Gu Chengye, and Gu Chengsi to meet each other so that they could find a backer for each other.

The Emperor naturally understood what he needed. Thinking of the Gu family’s current weak power, he replied happily, “Tomorrow, you can bring them into the palace. I will inform the guards.”

“Thank you, Emperor.”

“Do get up. It’s a rare opportunity for us to meet our relatives. How can I stop you?” After the Emperor finished speaking, he asked about his plan.

Knowing that Gu Chengrui really had no interest in politics, the Emperor could only let him go.

After returning, Gu Chengrui went to the guest courtyard. He saw the four people learning how to weave small toys. “Everyone, stop for a moment. Tomorrow, I will bring you into the palace to meet Consort Xian.

“Remember to dress as decently as possible tomorrow.”

“Really? It just so happens that I’ve made two sets of clothes in the past two days. They’ll come in handy.” Mrs. Liu looked at him expectantly.

Even though she had lived in the capital for many years, she and Mrs. Yao had never entered the palace because of Princess Ping Yang.

Even if they were to attend the banquet, it was because Princess Ping Yang refused to attend that she allowed them to go.

Therefore, she was really looking forward to entering the palace.

“Of course, but you have to be more careful when you’re in the palace. If you say something rude, you might lose your head.” When Gu Chengrui said this, he deliberately looked at Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu quickly nodded. “Don’t worry. No matter what, I’ve lived in the capital for so many years. I won’t say anything I can’t.”

Gu Chengrui nodded and looked at Gu Chengen and his brother. “Brother Chengen, do you want me to help you get dressed?”

“I’ll have to trouble you for that. Our clothes are okay for normal wear, but if we enter the palace, they won’t be presentable.” Gu Chengen stood up and said.

“Let’s go,” Gu Chengrui said as he looked at Gu Chengye.

“Alright, I’ll return the silver to you later.” Gu Chengye stood up and said.

“No need. We’re brothers. I can afford the clothes.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he brought them to the boutique to buy clothes.

Mrs. Liu was annoyed. She would not have mentioned the new clothes if she had known that he would help her with their clothes.

Zhou Ying prepared some snacks, a set of spicy hotpot base, sour soup hotpot base, mushroom soup hotpot base, and some dipping sauce, and headed into the palace with them early the next morning..
