delicious little cook

Chapter 1029 Helpless
Eating in the Rong En Hall of the old lady, the whole family laughed and laughed happily. Both the eldest and the third house are here. On Yun's 20th birthday, the old man looked at her two grandchildren smiling from ear to ear. The dark clouds that were still lingering in her heart yesterday have long since turned into sunshine.

The Prince Cheng’s Mansion opposite is much quieter. Today is to receive the guests who came to express their congratulations. The three members of the prince and concubine’s family are only in their own home. They will still go back to Prince Yan’s Mansion tomorrow morning, but Duke Ye’s Mansion will hold a three-day long street flowing water banquet Ning Peilan already knew about it, so she also decided to join in the fun and co-organize it with Gu's family, setting up fifty tables for the family, and a total of one hundred tables.

After dinner, Ning Peilan went to chat with Bai Kou, curiously asked why Gu Yun's face was so ugly earlier, Bai Kou's straightforward explanation made Ning Peilan speechless.

"Are you thinking too much?!"

"It's not that I think too much. If you think about the average life expectancy of the current population, you will know that I am not worrying blindly. The average life expectancy is only 30 years old. Everyone is equal before death. No matter how noble the person's background is, he will have a long life span once he arrives." Hiccup. Men themselves have a shorter lifespan than women, and they are born to like to die. It doesn’t matter if they play their lives away. It is against human nature for women with longer lifespan to become widows at the age of youth and prime of life. Cruel and cruel."

"After all, there are only a small number of women conferred by the imperial court. After receiving the benefits from the imperial court, they naturally have to abide by the court's laws. After all, there are not many women."

"The scholarly family and the squire family of the family who read the book also do not allow the widows in the clan to remarry. They would rather let the widows die than let the widows remarry. They are even proud that there has never been a widow in the family who has remarried. If you really have the support of your natal family, you can There are very few widows in Dagui, Shi Tianqi is a special case, the granddaughter of the saint, who would dare to force her to keep her to observe the festival, let alone her husband died so ugly."

"Well, Tong Mingli is also a special case. If it weren't for you, she would definitely not be able to get away." Thinking of this, Ning Peilan also sighed, "The biggest variable at that time was Tong Mingli. Fortunately, there is you."

"In the past few years, these two people are the only ones we know who can start a new life. The other young widows are struggling. If it were me, with the benefits of my husband's family, I could be a widow for three years, but I would be a lifelong widow. No, in a big family, we all know how difficult life is for a widow. Those who have sons can survive, but those who have no sons can only be forgotten and cannot be remarried. That is to force people to die. The servant girl has been restored to citizenship, and I don't have the guts to bet my life on others being nice to me."

"So, you don't want to marry high?"

"No one knows when he will die. If I die first, the man can turn around and marry another bride. If the man dies before me, but I can't remarry, then I am not at a big loss? I am a commoner and dare not ask extravagantly. Noble nationality, there is no retreat at all when I get the imperial seal, let me let go of the beautiful body of so many young and fresh meat in the world, and live with a memorial tablet, it is better not to step into that circle from the beginning, the law does not restrict civilians Widows remarry."

"But Gu Yun likes you so much, he only wants to marry you."

"He is a nobleman, and I am a citizen. I am not in the right family, and there are many hidden dangers. Let's forget it."

Ning Peilan remained silent, looking at Bai Kou's indifferent expression, she wondered how Gu Yun would react.

Back in her own room, Ning Peilan relayed Bai Kou's attitude to her husband, Gong Zhangji was stunned, and there was nothing he could do about the entanglement between the two.

"What Bai Kou said reminded me that you can't die before me. I'm Princess Cheng. If I become a widow, I can't remarry. I live my life with a memorial tablet at the prime of my youth. Be careful. I'll do tens of thousands." A tablet, as firewood every day." Ning Peilan said seriously, pointing to her husband's nose.

Gong Changji choked for a moment, and smilingly held his wife's hand in his own to comfort him.

"Okay, okay, I will live well, and I will never die in front of you."

"Also, fat people don't have a short lifespan, so don't get fat. Lose weight for me! I've already lost weight, but you haven't! You and Gu Yun are really good brothers!"

"Okay, lose weight. After this month, I will definitely lose weight."

"Why did it take this month?"

"After the results of the palace examination, the new Jinshi will have various banquets this month. There are so many delicious foods. It's good to keep your weight, but you can't lose weight."

"Aren't you going to eat less? You are a majestic prince, what kind of food do you lack?!" Ning Peilan deeply felt that she was being perfunctory, "A man who can't do what he says is too bad!"

"I promise you, after this month, I will definitely lose weight."

"You will enter the Hanlin Academy next month, you will be socializing every day, you tell me to lose weight?!" Ning Peilan snorted coldly, completely seeing through her husband's tricks.

"Uh……"

The palace chief was ashamed, and he couldn't make up a reason.

Ning Peilan felt for a moment that only Bai Kou was a good sister.

The next day, Gu Yun still greeted the guests at home. Today is the relatives who came to express their congratulations. The palace chief Ji and his family returned to Yanwang Mansion early in the morning. They will stay there for at least a few days. Afterwards, there will be a banquet in the palace. The new Jinshi will have a banquet with the civil and military ministers. The two thousand pigeon eggs purchased in the first batch have been sent to the imperial kitchen, and the menu of the palace banquet will be revised for the pigeon eggs. , is also a rare sight.

Gu Yun naturally remembered that today was Bai Kou's 16th birthday, but he couldn't leave, so he had to send someone to deliver the gift to the palace, and let Xiao Ye Zi place it in Bai Kou's room.

Gong Zhangji met Gu Yun at the Qionglin Banquet, and he didn't dare to tell him what Bai Kou said last night, fearing that Gu Yun would do something amazing at this Qionglin Banquet on the spur of the moment, he planned to Tai Pingping finished all the official entertainments these days.

At the Qionglin Banquet, Gu Yun, as No. 1, occupied a seat by himself. As a fifth-rank doctor, Gu Yun naturally attended with his colleagues. The father and son were always the focus of everyone's attention from the beginning to the end, and all kinds of compliments It never stopped.

After the banquet was over, the father and son returned home. Gu Yun saw the gifts from Xiao Yezi sent by Bai Kou in his room. There was a birthday gift that he didn't have time to give him yesterday, and there was also a congratulatory gift for him being the No. [-] student in the exam.

Gu Yun disassembled it and took a look at it, then put it in his treasure chest. After washing up, he rolled to bed, thinking about Bai Kou's beautiful body, and wishing that he would have a good dream.
