The next day, after Gu Chengrui sent off Mr. Gu, Mrs. Liu, and Second Uncle Gu, he went to the hospital to get busy.

When free, he would check the restaurant’s accounts and the manor.

At the same time, he also wrote a letter to Sun Hongliang, writing down the recipe for the vermicelli, fermented bean curd, and chili oil and sending it over through Zhou Huaiming’s communication channel.

Moreover, they had also started to recruit people for the hospital. Some studied medicine, some studied martial arts, and some had good culinary skills.

In short, as long as they were helpful to them and had a clean background, he began to recruit them all.

As for Mrs. Liu and the others, they rented a small courtyard in the western part of the city and moved out.

Zhou Ying politely sent them off. However, she still had someone send them some pots, pans, food, and vegetables for their housewarming gifts. Then, she left them alone.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and the wine was successfully brewed.

In order to quickly open up the market, Zhou Ying would bring two pounds of gifts to each family and explain the benefits.

Sure enough, the love for wine caught on, especially among women. Immediately, someone came to buy more, and Zhou Ying used the excuse of taking care of Guoguo and directly handed the matter to Head Fang.

At the end of the year, she earned more than 13,000 taels of silver from wine alone.

Therefore, when spring was awakening in the second year, Zhou Ying asked Head Fang to expand the grape plantation by another 200 acres. Including the previous ones, it accounted for nearly 400 acres of land planted with grapes.

At the same time, news of Gu Wanning’s pregnancy came from the palace.

Gu Ziqiong’s marriage had also been decided. The groom was a minor official in the royal army with over 200 people under him, a local in the capital, Qin Wu.

Relatively speaking, it was a suitable marriage.

On this day, Zhou Ying was feeding Guoguo some mashed potatoes when Gu Chengrui rushed in. “There’s a smallpox outbreak in the capital city. We have to be very careful now.”

“Smallpox?” Zhou Ying’s heart jolted after hearing that. Smallpox was a deadly plague in ancient times. The key was that Guoguo was still young and had not been given the vaccine yet.

“Yes, be careful. I have to go to the palace to see the Emperor.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he hurriedly ran out.

“Mistress, what should we do now?” Guoguo’s nanny, Mrs. Lin, asked nervously.

“We can only prevent it. What’s the use of being afraid? Oh, by the way, have you ever had smallpox before?” Zhou Ying asked.

“No, it has been many years since smallpox appeared in the Ming Dynasty.” Mrs. Lin shook her head.

“Go inform the people in the residence and gather everyone. Remember not to say anything unnecessary.”

“Yes.” Mrs. Lin nodded and hurriedly went to call everyone.

At this moment, Guoguo saw that Zhou Ying had stopped feeding her and began to slap her arm.

Zhou Ying met her confused gaze and smiled before she continued feeding her.

After she was done feeding her, everyone arrived in the main courtyard. After handing off Guoguo to Mrs. Lin, she walked out and asked, “Butler Niu, is everyone here?”

“Yes. Other than the people in the restaurant, everyone else is here.” Niu Fugui stepped forward and replied.

“Just now, Master came back and said there is a smallpox outbreak in the capital, so from today onwards, no one is allowed to go out unless it’s absolutely necessary.

“If it is necessary to leave the place, change your clothes as soon as possible after you return. You have to boil them with disinfectant before wearing them again.

“In addition…”

Before she could finish her words, everyone below exploded. Smallpox was something that could kill. Every one of them changed their expressions at the mention of it.

Immediately, the crowd below buzzed.

Zhou Ying raised her hand and said, “Alright, quiet down. Listen to me..”
