After Gu Chengyu had his meal, he promptly got back to verifying the historical records.
After all, he had to draft a detailed memorial for the Emperor once he returned. He had almost completed the verification of the records and planned to deliver them to Mr. Zhang this afternoon. Afterward, his focus would be on the matter of the salt permit.
This time, the Emperor likely wouldn't summon him to court to discuss state affairs, and the benefits of the salt permit had also been granted to him. Although the benefits were not significant, Gu Chengyu was quite satisfied.
He wondered what his mother's feelings would be when she received the imperial decree. He speculated she would be so happy that she'd cry tears of joy.
With this thought, Gu Chengyu felt an eager desire to return home. His father had mentioned in a letter that he would come to the Capital with him and stay for a while.
