However, Zhou Huaiming also knew that the First Prince had arranged this matter.
Therefore, he had deliberately leaked the news to the people the Emperor had sent to investigate the First and Fourth Princes.
After the Emperor received the news, he was furious. No matter what, County Magistrate Kong was an official appointed by the imperial court, so how dare the First Prince harm him?
As a result, the First Prince, who had just returned to the capital after pacifying the rebellion, was grounded for three months and had his salary suspended for three years.
At the same time, the Empress was also grounded for three months.
When the Fourth Prince found out that the Emperor’s people were in Yunhe County, he immediately called the seventh son of the Su family back, and the rest of them went into hiding.
At the same time, Zhou Huaiming and the others stayed obedient.
One day, Zhou Ying was collecting chili peppers when Zhou Huaiming came over and checked the chilies that were about to be thrown out. “There are bugs in chili? The taste of these bugs is sure brave.”
“Everything in the world has a counter. No matter what it is, it must have something against it.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Huaiming, who had lost a lot of weight. “Did you go to the mines? How did you lose so much weight?”
“Not exactly that, but it wasn’t easy either.
“By the way, where’s Brother Gu? Why is the door locked?”
Zhou Ying thought of Gu Chengrui, who was still reading in the interspace. She paused momentarily and replied, “If he’s not home, he’s most likely out in the mountains picking herbs.
“If you’re in a hurry, you can go home and wait for him, but he might only return in the evening.”
“Forget it. 1’11 go to the manor to find Uncle Liu, and 1’11 come back tomorrow.”
“Sure, we’ll go over to find you tomorrow.”
“Alright, 1’11 see you tomorrow.” After Zhou Huaiming finished speaking, he greeted the patriarch and led his men to the manor.
The patriarch, helping her harvest the chilies, said, “He slims down every time
1 see him. It’s really not easy being him.”
“It’s not bad to be an ordinary person.” Zhou Ying concluded.
The patriarch smiled and asked, “By the way, since your restaurant is closed now, what do you plan to do with so many chilies and cumin? ”
“We’ll see. Last year, many chilies were sold as seasonings because of the snow disaster.
“Although we didn’t earn much money, we didn’t lose any either.
“This year’s river transportation will probably recover soon. If it doesn’t work out here, we’ll sell it to the north.”
When the patriarch heard this, he knew that she had a plan in mind and did not ask further.
After the sky turned dark at night, Zhou Ying locked her doors and went directly into her interspace. She did not expect Gu Chengrui to have already prepared dinner.
After the two had their meal, Zhou Ying told him about Zhou Huaiming’s visit. “You’re being risky here. No matter how fascinated you are with these books, you can’t just look at them every day. So in the future, it’s better to go out as much as possible during the day to prevent damaging your eyes.”
“I know, but these medical books are too precious, and they teach many ways to use medicinal herbs that have already become extinct. I really can’t keep my eyes off them.” Gu Chengrui laughed.
“By the way, did he say anything when he came over this time?”
“No, but it doesn’t look like it’s anything urgent. Otherwise, he would have stayed here to wait for you.”
“That’s true. Let’s go over tomorrow.
“Oh, how’s the chili harvest?”
“It’s almost done. But because the restaurant won’t be open for a while, no one dares to plant more.”
“That’s good. You’ve worked hard all day. I’ll go wash the dishes.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he cleared the table and got busy.
He also made her a pot of chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea.
Seeing the wolfberry, Zhou Ying remembered that there was still a batch of wolfberry and honeysuckle on the mountain that needed to be picked.
After drinking two cups of tea, she collected all the mature medicinal herbs on her mountain and handed them to Gu Chengrui to process.
Later, she turned around and walked to her warehouse..
