Mrs. Bai sighed. “The manor harvested good wheat this year. Let’s save some seeds for your sister-in-law.”

Gu Chengsi remained silent. He knew the manor was purchased with the 5,000 taels Gu Chengrui had given him.

Without that, his meager salary wouldn’t support his family.

He already owed a debt; a little more wouldn’t hurt.

He should start a business soon, or he might be strapped forever.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the Ministry of Personnel Affairs announced Gu Chengsi’s promotion—two levels up to Zhizhou of Qianzhou.

He returned to his current county to hand over and take up his new post.

By November 1st, Zhou Ying had prepared sufficient funds and sent an escort to bring Gu Chengsi’s family back to the capital.

Another year flew by. Gu Chengrui finished his work at the academy. He covered advanced mathematics, mechanics, and light in physics, but electricity, which was absent from Zhou Ying’s books, wasn’t taught.

Chemistry focused on analyzing mineral deposits, including some basic medical purification techniques.

Additionally, cement and improved wheels were introduced that year.

As a result, the Ministry of Works used cement for the continent’s strongest dam, and Gu Chengrui set a goal to replace all dams with cement ones within the next few years.

The following spring, the Grand Empress Dowager passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage. The Emperor used this opportunity to hold another consort selection.

Three years later, Gu Chengrui, after nearly four years of effort, built his own, albeit less advanced, purification equipment.

The Emperor had also cultivated batches of talented individuals in math, physics, and chemistry, allowing Zhou Ying’s book to be fully utilized.

One day, while outside making penicillin for the army, Gu Chengrui suddenly fainted. Shocked, Zhou Ying turned to Gu Chengxi upon seeing him carry his brother in. “Chengxi, what happened?”

“Sister-in-law, I don’t know,” replied Gu Chengxi with a worried frown.

“Chengrui fainted after returning from the palace today. The imperial physicians found nothing wrong, so I brought him here.”

“Let’s get him inside,” Zhou Ying instructed.

Gu Chengxi nodded and carried him in. “Don’t worry, sister-in-law. His pulse seems to be normal. The physicians suspect exhaustion. I’ll stay here and help. Let me know if anything changes.”

“Alright,” Zhou Ying agreed. “The east courtyard is prepared. Shizhu, please show him out.”

Once everyone left, Zhou Ying took Gu Chengrui to her interspace and examined him with the equipment.

Still, there were no signs of illness. “Rui, what’s wrong? Please don’t scare me!” She cried, taking his hand in hers.RE𝒂ad updated st𝒐ries at n/𝒐/vel/bin(.)com
