delicious little cook

Chapter 1002
"Just after you passed the test, did your back harden?"

"Yes, I studied hard for this day."

"As the eldest son conferred by the court, do you really think that your wife is up to you to choose?"

"I am the eldest son conferred by the imperial court. I have passed the general examination before I turned 19 years old. Although the imperial examination has not yet started, my name is already on the list of concubines in the Imperial Academy. I have a share of credit for helping the crown prince eradicate traitors. I can't think of any reason why the imperial court would object to my choosing a marriage partner, usually it's just a formality, why would I deliberately set up a card when I come here?"

"You think it's amazing?"

"Compared to my peers, I think I'm really remarkable."

Mrs. Gu was choked, and Mama Pang, who was standing on the side, also felt that the young master was different from the past, he became a quasi-jinshi, and his whole temperament was different.

"Then have you ever thought about Bai Kou's difficulties? She is a citizen, and you are a noble. There is a difference in status between you two."

"I never cared about that, and I didn't care what other people thought."

"Bai Kou was pardoned from an official servant and became a citizen. She was registered as a citizen of Congliang. Do you know the meaning of the word Congliang? A person who escaped from a slave or humble nationality is called Congliang. Although she is a citizen, there are two The character is lower than ordinary citizenship, if you insist on marrying her, what do you tell others to think?"

"The head chef of the imperial kitchen is a seventh-rank official. Bai Kou was originally a lady of the official family. She went from civil status to slave status to Congliang civil status. She has experienced things that no one else has experienced in her entire life. She has experienced it in just a few years. Her mental perseverance Indestructible, no other girl can compare to her in this point, if anyone wants to gossip, just come to me and pull out their daughter to compare. Bai Kou's pardon condition was given by the saint himself, she can Talking and laughing happily with the three generations of the Tian family's grandparents, the imperial study room never allows women to enter, and the queen is not allowed to step into the imperial study room, but Bai Kou can chat with the sage in it, and if she wants to plant fungi in the mountains and forests of the official village, she can feel her heart. If things come true, she can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver a year with her own ability, and the capital has a population of one million, find a second person to show me?"

"Bai Kou was pardoned from an official maidservant. She is a family member of a criminal official. Her family background and history cannot be erased even if she recovers her freedom alone. Everyone in the capital knows how the royal chef Bai's family collapsed. You marry her as your wife. , Have you ever thought about the feelings in the palace? For a girl of her background, she can only be a concubine if she marries a noble family."

"The old case of the Bai family has long been proved to be an unjust case of intentional frame-up, and the saint has figured it out a long time ago. Otherwise, he would not have promised Bai Kou's pardon. This is the kindness that the saint deliberately gave to Bai Kou. Now the court is cleaning it up. The unjust case related to the Zhao family, the old case of the Bai family will be overturned and vindicated sooner or later. Bai Kou is not a family member of a criminal. She first saved the emperor’s grandson and then helped the princess. Is the palace unhappy?"

"Do you think this is enough? At the women's family tea party, Bai Kou and them can have a common topic? I'm afraid that many people will laugh at Bai Kou's lack of culture and lack of artistic accomplishment."

"I am the eldest son, the next generation patriarch. I am responsible for the future of the whole family. Being good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is equivalent to being a competent patriarch's wife? Mother, is it easy for you as the patriarch's wife?"

Mrs. Gu suddenly remembered the messy and trivial affairs of the clan, as annoying as she said, she pursed the corners of her mouth in a bad mood, and glared at her son.

"Bai Kou is good at doing business. Are you not afraid of being laughed at in the future, saying that your wife is a calculating businesswoman?"

"I'm still an imperial merchant. Isn't it logical to marry Bai Kou? Bai Kou is good at balancing the interests of multiple parties. Even the mushrooms in the mountain forest she rented from the official village will plan the future for those mountain people who collect wild mushrooms for a living. Otherwise, how can I convince you?" The sage leased the forest to her, and the sage knew it was Bai Kou's idea when he saw the brochure, and she was the only one who dared to make such a good deal."

"What's the use of talking so much? Has Bai Kou agreed to marry you?"

"She didn't agree. Before you and Dad agree, no matter what I do, she won't agree, because she is afraid that you and Dad will get angry and assassinate her. She can kick Second Aunt out of her internal injuries. , but she will definitely not be able to withstand the tactical sneak attack of the guards."

"So?" Mrs. Gu thinks that her husband and wife are not so cruel, right?

"So, I'm here to officially inform you that my marriage is my own decision. I want to marry Bai Kou. No one can stop me. I will pay for my wedding myself. I don't need to worry about my family. I just wait for Bai Kou to nod. To prepare for the marriage, mother and father will wait for the daughter-in-law to offer tea."

Mrs. Gu was really choking on her son.

"How rich is it?!"

"It's great to have money."

"Bai Kou earned the money."

"This further shows that I can't do without her."

"It's funny. She has to have children and earn money to support the family. She has done all the things outside the house. What do you, a big man, do?"

"I'm in charge of being as beautiful as a flower."

"what?!"

Gu Yun touched his face, feeling guilty when he said the words "beautiful as a flower".

"Don't tell mother, I still have things to do."

Gu Yun walked away very simply, and went back to the Zhongming Courtyard to tidy up. Not long after he left, Mrs. Gu gave orders to Pang's mother.

"Go and ask his guards if something happened outside today."

Mother Pang took the order to go out quickly, and came back in two quarters of an hour.

"Ma'am, I got it. No wonder our brother Yun suddenly changed his attitude."

"How to say?"

"I met King Qing, and he wants to take Bai Kou to the south."

"It turned out that the corner of the wall was pried by someone. This fool is anxious to get angry." Mrs. Gu was thoughtful, with a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, thinking it was quite interesting.

"Ma'am, what about Brother Yun?"

"Let him go, he made it so clear that his marriage is his own decision, then give him a chance to see if he is capable of marrying Bai Kou. If Bai Kou thinks it is better to follow King Qing , that can only be left to her, the legs are on her body, and she can go wherever she likes, and we can't force him to be locked up at home, with Bai Kou's cruelty, we have to be careful of our own lives."

"Ma'am, you can't say that!"

"Are you scared like this? Bai Kou has a dagger given by the emperor on her body. If our second Mrs. Gu slaps her, she dares to slap her back with an internal injury. Who would dare to provoke her with such a violent temper?"

"But brother Yun's idea, madam, do you not object?"

"Didn't you hear what he said? Now that he has money and a future, he is a reliable and trustworthy man. Even if he wants to marry Bai Kou, it's useless for anyone to object."

Mrs. Gu twitched the corners of her lips, she didn't want to keep her children, the stupid domestic pigs grew up, and all they wanted was cabbages from other people's gardens.

"I'm worried that Bai Kou will look down on him, he's as fat as a pig."
