When the Third Prince received the news at night, he only nodded expressionlessly. The next day, he asked Butler Feng to prepare the betrothal gifts.

At the same time, the First Prince carried 18 sets of betrothal gifts to the Yang family.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had pa.s.sed.

Zhou Ying basically had to go to the manor to help busy herself daily, and it was not until a heavy snowfall that she stayed home for once.

Meanwhile, the snow forced Gu Chengrui to stay at the manor.

In the evening, Zhou Ying sent him some food, thick clothes, and blankets through her inters.p.a.ce. She later got busy in her inters.p.a.ce too.

First, she scanned through the various Mother G.o.ddess Temples and heaved a sigh of relief after ensuring there was no huge disaster. She later transferred the half-worn quilts she had collected from the Qiao family to the beggars in the north and gave them some onions and ginger to ward off the cold.

The next day, when the sky was already bright,

Noticing everyone sweeping the snow from the courtyard, she did not stay idle. She took a wooden plank and went forward to help.

Seeing this, s.h.i.+zhu quickly went forward and said, “Mistress, we servants can do these rough jobs. You should hurry into the house.”

“It’s fine. 1 didn’t grow up pampered. What work haven’t I done before?

“Let’s clear the snow as soon as possible so there won’t be ice everywhere the next morning.” Zhou Ying said.

When s.h.i.+zhu heard her say this, she immediately thought of Zhou Ying, covered in soil, as she followed the old farmers into the fields. She could only say, “Alright, but please take it easy and don’t tire yourself out.”

After saying that, they both got busy.

Because there were only a few people in the residence, it was already close to noon when all the snow was cleared out.

After was.h.i.+ng up and drinking a cup of water, s.h.i.+zhu reported that Zhou Huaiming had come with many things.

Zhou Ying was surprised before she quickly stood up and greeted him. “Brother Zhou, when did you return to the capital?”

“I came back yesterday afternoon. I wanted to come over, but it snowed, so 1 delayed it by a day.

“By the way, your father-in-law requested that I transport all the food and dried vegetables you left home in case you don’t have enough food. 1 also added some rice for you.

“There were also some things that Chang Shun and the others had prepared, mainly a few chickens and two frozen sheep.”

“I’m sure it’s been hard on you to transport all that. Please, come in quickly.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she brought him into the house.

At the same time, she said to s.h.i.+zhu, “s.h.i.+zhu, go and tell Butler Zhou to bring some people to store these things.

“Also, please prepare a pot of sunflower tea.”

The two servants responded one after another and turned around to get busy.

Zhou Huaiming said, “I say, sister, you don’t lack money. Why didn’t you buy a few more servants? Only having two maids isn’t enough.”

“I’m not short of money, but I’m short of food. 1 can’t buy more servants but just let them starve, no?”

“Oh, true. This year, money doesn’t really mean anything. By the way, when is Brother Gu coming back? Shall we have mutton hotpot together tonight?” Zhou Huaiming asked.

“He’s busy planting a greenhouse in the manor. Coupled with the slippery roads in the snow, he might be unable to return tonight.

“However, call King Rui over if you want to eat hotpot. I’ll make it for you two.

“Or I’ll prepare some seasonings and meat slices for you. You can bring them to King Rui instead.”

“How could I do that? Since the meat is frozen, it won’t go bad that quickly. Let’s wait for Brother Gu to return.” Zhou Huaiming handed her a thick envelope and added, “This is the reply from your hometown.”

He stood up and continued, “Alright, I won’t bother you further. When Brother Gu comes back, let me know. I’ll come over and have a meal with you two.”

“Alright, I’ll definitely inform you when he returns.” Zhou Ying put the letter away and stood up to send him out..
