“Coming.” Gu Chengrui immediately put the chicken soup aside and helped her brush her teeth and wash her face in the bathroom.
After washing up, perhaps because the day had started, Zhou Ying felt she had finally recovered. She turned her head and asked, “Did you cook?”
“Yeah. 1 made millet and red bean porridge, mixed it with two side dishes, and fried two poached eggs.” Gu Chengrui pointed at the black-bone chicken soup and added, “Oh right, you should drink the black-bone chicken soup while I’ll serve the rice.”
After he left, Zhou Ying sat at the head of the bed and drank the chicken soup. The thick chicken soup was without a trace of oil, and she felt the warmth in her stomach.
She lowered her head and drank it spoonful by spoonful.
After she finished drinking, she walked out slowly with the bowl in her hand and saw that Gu Chengrui had just finished setting up breakfast.
After breakfast, the two packed up and left the interspace.
“I can go to the manor alone,” Gu Chengrui said. “You can rest at home, and I’ll come back to cook in the afternoon.”
“No need. I’ll just cook myself a bowl of noodles at noon. You don’t have to run back and forth.” Zhou Ying shook her head.
“Alright, be careful at home. You can ask Brother Tian for help if you have any problems.”
Just as Gu Chengrui was about to leave, Zhou Ying remembered that his father had come over yesterday. She quickly stopped him and told him about Gu Chengye’s marriage.
“I see. I’ll have them butcher a cow and a sheep tomorrow morning.” Gu Chengrui replied, closed the door, and rushed to the manor.
After he left, Zhou Ying tidied up the house. After feeling alright, she took the quilt, pillow, and other things into her interspace, washed them in her washing machine, and then hung them in the courtyard.
After lunch, she locked her doors and returned to her room to sleep.
The next morning.
After breakfast, the husband and wife each changed into fine cotton clothes. They first drove the carriage to the manor, picking up ten pounds of beef and mutton each.
Of course, on the way, she put half of it into her storage space and took out a piece of beef lard weighing five pounds.
As soon as the two of them reached the door, Father Gu came over and said, “Hurry, hurry up and clean up the carriage. We have to go and pick up the bride quickly.”
“Alright, I’ll do it soon.” Gu Chengrui was not hurrying to move even after hearing his father’s words.
He lifted the curtain and took the basket from Zhou Ying’s hand. He took out the meat, handed it to his father, and helped Zhou Ying out of the carriage.
Father Gu immediately smiled when he saw the beef, mutton, and lard in the basket. “Today’s banquet will go up another level with this meat. Oh, what’s the price of beef and mutton now?”
“There’s no need. Just treat it as a congratulatory gift for my second brother.” Gu Chengrui shook his head.
To be honest, they were worried about what gifts to give them.
After all, if she gave less, it would reflect badly on their relationship with Father Gu. If she gave more, it would feel bad because they were indirectly gifting Mrs. Liu.
Since they had a suitable reason, they were eager to use this as their gift.
“Alright, that’s a matter between you two brothers. I’ll go and tell him.” Father Gu then walked in with the meat.
Afterwards, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Yao, and the other women cleaned the carriage inside and out.
He then tied a red silk cloth around the horse’s neck and the carriage door.
He also laid a straw mat inside the carriage and placed a stool; only then was everything done.
After that, Mrs. Liu warmly greeted Zhou Ying and said, “Let’s go and chitchat inside.”
Zhou Ying looked at her smiling face. Her heart was beating, and she didn’t know if Mrs. Liu was pleased because her son was getting married or if she had some ulterior motives.
However, no matter which, Zhou Ying hoped Mrs. Liu wouldn’t find trouble with her. Otherwise, she didn’t mind falling out with her.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ying nodded with a smile and followed her inside..
