“The grudges are over. I will be your loyal servant in the future, but I do want to ask you for permission to marry someone.” Gu Zheng’s face flushed crimson by the end of his sentence.
“Who is it?” Zhou Ying inquired curiously.
“It’s the manager of the rouge workshop in the capital, Sun Rusu,” Gu Zheng replied.
Zhou Ying was momentarily stunned. Despite Sun Rusu’s youth, she was a widow. She then asked, “Do you know her past?”
“I do. She was not valued by her family when she was young. After her marriage of convenience failed, she was sold by her in-laws.”
Zhou Ying nodded and said, “Then you should ask her own opinion. If she agrees, the two of you can come together and tell me.”
“Thank you, Mistress, for your help.” Gu Zheng replied.
On the afternoon of the 30th, Gu Zheng and Sun Rusu came together.
When Zhou Ying saw them coming in, she smiled and said, “No wonder the birds kept chirping at the door early this morning. It turns out that there is excellent news.”
After hearing this, the two of them looked at each other and said, “Thank you, Mistress, for your help.”
“Please, get up. It’s too late this year, so we’ll hold your wedding next spring.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she asked, “I don’t know your plans for the future. Will you live in the capital or near the workshop?”
“We would like to live near the workshop so she won’t have to travel back and forth.” Gu Zheng said.
“That’s good.” Zhou Ying then gave them a thousand taels of silver and said, “This is a housing subsidy for you. You can arrange it yourselves.”
“Thank you, Mistress.” Gu Zheng took it without hesitation.
He knew all her servants who got married would receive a subsidy, but the amount varied depending on their rank.
“Go on. After you have chosen a date, let me know in advance.”
“Yes.” Gu Zheng responded, and the two of them retreated.
After the New Year, Gu Chengye finally received his first official job, a civilian position in the Zhili government office.
Upon receiving the letter, Mr. Gu advised, “Work hard. Do your best for two or three years. Once you’re accustomed to officialdom, I’ll find someone to help you apply for an external transfer.”
“I understand. I will definitely give it my all,” Gu Chengye responded solemnly.
“Good. Listen attentively, observe carefully, and ask questions if you’re unsure. The Zhili government office is an excellent training ground,” Mr. Gu instructed.
“I will,” Gu Chengye said resolutely.
After the New Year, Chenchen finally learned to crawl and stopped clinging to Zhou Ying.
Guoguo’s studies progressed smoothly. After discussing it, the couple decided to hire a female teacher to teach Guoguo various skills. The husband and wife still took charge of her cultural education.
One day, witnessing the blooming spring flowers after Gu Zheng and Sun Rusu’s wedding, Zhou Ying asked, “Rui, when can you take a few days off? Let’s go to the manor and enjoy a two-day break.”
Gu Chengrui hesitated, wanting to decline. However, looking at Chenchen, who could now eat an apple on his own, he said guiltily, “In two days. I’ll arrange some small tests in these two days. After the exams, let’s go out and relax for two days.”
“Alright, but there’s no rush. Your health is more important,” Zhou Ying reassured him.
“I know. I’ve really worked hard this year. I just hope I can finish teaching this class as soon as possible. Only then will I have a lot of time to spend with the three of you.” Gu Chengrui held her hand and said.
“Yes, with that foundation, everything will be much smoother in the future.” Zhou Ying nodded in agreement..
