Qin Wenzheng quickly finished writing the letter and got someone to send the jar of white sugar to the capital.

After that, he returned and chatted with Gu Yundong for a long time.

Madam Ge instructed the servants to prepare lunch and let Gu Yundong eat at the Qin residence before leaving.

As soon as she left, Madam Ge asked Qin Wenzheng worriedly, “Will this matter work?”

Qin Wenzheng looked at the distant carriage and reached out to hold Madam Ge’s hand. He said in a low voice, “The emperor is a monarch who cherishes talent.”

Madam Ge understood that it was most likely possible.

“If that’s the case, Miss Gu can privately manufacture and sell white sugar? That will attract a lot of attention. It won’t be difficult for the people in the capital to find out.”

Speaking of which, even if Lady Gu gave the entire formula to the imperial court and did not care about it, those who wanted to find out would still be able to find out that she was the inventor.

“Don’t worry. I’ve been in Fengkai County for a few years. Now that the county magistrate is under the Dai prefecture magistrate, those people will have to ask for my permission if they want to interfere.” Qin Wenzheng smiled. “I’m afraid I’ll be busy from now on. My wife, please bear with me.”

“You’re going to be busy. Didn’t you just promise Miss Gu to accept her brother as a student?”

“There’s no hurry. At the very least, we have to wait for news from the capital before we have the mood.”

Qin Wenzheng’s judgment was correct. Five days later, a letter came from the capital and was sent to the Qin Residence overnight.

It was a thick letter, which showed how important it was and how much the emperor valued it.

Qin Wenzheng opened the letter and smiled.

The next morning, he brought Madam Ge and his daughter, Qin Anning, to Yongfu Village.

When the carriage entered Yongfu Village, the villagers were no longer as curious as Gu Yundong’s first visit.

After all, ever since the Gu family bought a carriage and the Liu family’s young master often came over, the carriage was no longer rare.

However, there were still children following behind the carriage. This was the first time Qin Anning had come to such a place. Seeing that the children were different from the children from her school, she was slightly excited and wanted to get out of the carriage, but she was stopped by Madam Ge.

This young lady was not a quiet person. If she really wanted to play with children of the same age, she would definitely go crazy. Her mother would not be able to pull her back.

Qin Wenzheng lifted the curtain and asked the child outside, “May I ask how to get to Gu Yundong’s house?”

At first, he was afraid that these children did not know. After all, he did not know Gu Yundong’s father’s name.

Unexpectedly, the children nodded in unison.

The Gu family?

Other families might be unknown, but who did not know the Gu family? The most imposing green brick tiled house was her house. It was very impressive.

One of the children immediately shouted in a certain direction, “Yunshu, Yunshu, someone is looking for your family. Is it a relative of yours?”

The child was a little envious. Yunshu’s family was rich, and so were her relatives. Looking at the big carriage, they were even richer than her family.

Qin Wenzheng followed the child’s gaze and saw a child standing far away, wiping a little girl’s hands with a handkerchief.

Perhaps because he did not hear the child’s cry, Gu Yunshu did not turn around.

The child wanted to call out again, but Qin Wenzheng waved his hand, got off the carriage, and walked over.

Yunshu? Wasn’t this the name of the younger brother that Gu Yundong had mentioned before?

Qin Wenzheng slowly walked behind him and heard the young and patient little voice..
