Then, he thought of something and asked, “By the way, how’s the investigation on the tungsten ore I asked you to investigate? Any progress?”
“Not yet. The problem is that we have no samples. It’s too difficult to find.”
“Yeah, I’ve never heard of such a thing before. Let’s look for it slowly.”
“There’s no rush. Mother God left too many things behind. It won’t be easy to digest it all fully, but no matter the result, we can’t let anyone know about the importance of tungsten ore.”
“I understand. I will personally monitor this.”
King Xian left, and the Emperor summoned Grand Scholar Sun.
“Father-in-law,” the Emperor said, “have you selected the appropriate people?”
“Your Majesty,” Grand Scholar Sun replied, “everything is ready to begin when you are.”
“Excellent,” the Emperor said. “Commence the construction as soon as possible. Discretion is key.”
“Understood,” Grand Scholar Sun confirmed. “Your Majesty, I’ve noticed something in the books gifted by Mother God. Marquis An Le seems to possess the most expertise in those diagrams and calculations.
“If necessary, we could request his help, either directly or through the academy. His knowledge would undoubtedly be valuable in the future.”
“I’ve observed this as well,” the Emperor acknowledged. “However, his wife just gave birth. Let’s wait a while longer until her birth confinement period is over. We can revisit the matter then.”
Grand Scholar Sun understood the Emperor’s reasoning and didn’t press the issue further. “If Your Majesty has no further instructions, I’ll take my leave.”
“Go ahead,” the Emperor nodded.
Meanwhile, Gu Chengrui, oblivious to these events, continued his routine. He spent his mornings working half a day at his hospital, then rushed home to prepare Zhou Ying’s meals and care for their two children, especially Guoguo.
Being the eldest, Guoguo not only required physical care but also emotional support.
Thus, Zhou Ying slept and ate well for an entire month after childbirth, leaving Gu Chengrui the only one in the family to lose weight.
After their one-month-old celebration, Gu Chengrui finally collapsed onto the bed, exhausted.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying gently covered him with a blanket and turned her attention to the children.
Upon entering the room, she found Guoguo reading a comic book to her younger brother, Chenchen. Zhou Ying playfully pinched Guoguo’s cheek and said, “You’re such a big help, Guoguo! Taking care of your little brother already.”
“Chenchen is very good,” Guoguo proudly replied, puffing out her chest. “He stopped crying when I read him the story.”
As if on cue, Chenchen started fussing, his arms and legs flailing. Guoguo looked at him helplessly.
Zhou Ying smiled and suggested, “Guoguo, why don’t you practice your calligraphy with Nanny first? Your brother seems sleepy. Let’s give him some space. Once he falls asleep, I can join you.”
“I don’t need help; I’m not a child anymore,” Guoguo retorted with a harumped expression, closing her book.
“Alright, Guoguo,” Zhou Ying chuckled. “Do your best. I’ll check your writing later.”
With that, Zhou Ying picked up a crying Chenchen, who instantly calmed down and nestled into his mother’s embrace.
“Sigh, children…” Guoguo muttered, shaking her head with a playful sigh, before turning and walking out with her hands behind her back.
Amused by her daughter’s mature demeanor, Zhou Ying began feeding Chenchen. Once he was asleep, she called his nanny, Mrs. Zhang, to watch over him and proceeded to review the month’s accounts.
To her surprise, the rouge shop’s income had already surpassed the restaurant’s, reaching a staggering 100,000 taels. Notably, the freshener and moisturizer were the top sellers..
