Mingyu didn’t say anything after hearing that. Zhuangzhuang had been quite clingy ever since he started to recognize people, which could be a result of her feeding him personally.

However, this feeling of being needed was not bad.

The next morning, Zhou Ying and Mingyu went out for a jog around the manor. After confirming that the place was in line with their standards, Zhou Ying turned her head and asked, “Mingyu, do you want to go up the mountain to take a look?”

“Of course. I heard the peaches are ripe, so I want to bring two back for the two children to try.” Mingyu nodded.

When they arrived at the mountain, Zhou Ying found that the peaches and plums were ready to be picked, and they were not small. She picked the best peaches on the treetops, and she picked more than ten.

After descending the mountain, Mingyu brought the peaches back to the main courtyard. Zhou Ying went to the manor and asked Head He to organize people to pick the rest of them quickly.

In the afternoon, Zhou Ying picked out a few baskets of the best peaches in color and size.

She carefully packed it and loaded a large amount of ice into the carriage, asking Shizhu to send the fruits into the palace.

The rest were divided into three grades. The first-grade fruits were carefully placed in baskets, ready to be sold to wealthy families.

The second-grade ones were sold to the commoner district.

The remaining third-grade ones were sold at the nearby markets. If they couldn’t be sold out, they were sent to restaurants to be made into smoothies and fruit platters.

However, Zhou Ying received a letter from Mrs. Yao just after giving instructions. She could only ask Mingyu, “Do you want to stay here for a few more days or return to the capital together?”

“Let’s go back together. There are many things to do at home. It’s already very good to take a break and stay here for a few days.” Mingyu replied.

Zhou Ying felt a tinge of guilt in her heart. Since she opened the cake shop, Zhou Huaiming has been busier than before.

Moreover, he was now helping Sun Hongliang open up noodle shops everywhere.

After arriving in the capital, Mingyu got someone to send over a piece of silver jewelry as a wedding gift for Gu Ziqiong.

When it was Zhou Ying’s turn, she was a little troubled because her wedding gift to Gu Ziqiu and Gu Zishan was too simple back then.

If she gave Gu Ziqiong too much now, Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Liu would feel uncomfortable. However, it would not match their current status if it were too simple.

She thought of the one-month-old gift they had given Guoguo.

After much consideration, she gave her two batches of good fabric and a set of gold jewelry.

The monetary gift was set at a hundred taels, so Mrs. Yao would not complain.

That afternoon, Zhou Ying sent the things over.

As expected, Mrs. Yao did not say anything on account of the 100 taels of silver.

Mrs. Huang even warmly invited her to sit down and drink tea.

“When did Auntie Huang come over?” asked Zhou Ying.

“Yesterday. It was a little rushed.”

“Indeed. Where are Second Uncle and the others?”

“They’re entertaining a few relatives tomorrow. They’ve gone to buy things separately.”

“There are plenty of things in the restaurant. If you lack anything, let me know in advance. I’ll get them to bring some.”

“Alright. By the way, I made two sets of clothes for Guoguo. You can take them back.” After speaking, Mrs. Huang returned to her room and took out two sets of tiny clothes.

The clothes were a dudou and shorts. The red dudou had a black puppy embroidered, and the green shorts had vines embroidered. It was a beautiful match.

After chatting for a while, Mr. Gu and the others rushed back. When they saw her, Mr.. Gu sat down and asked, “Zhou Ying, will Chengrui be back tomorrow?”
