Chapter 168 The Au Family Arrives

When Bai Kou returned to the main courtyard, he went to the bedroom to check on Shizi's situation. When he had nothing to do, he liked to nest on the Arhat couch outside the bedroom, and used this room as his living room during the day.

When he stepped into the room, Gu Yun was holding a jam knife to spread sweet jam on the slice of bread, and spread it evenly, covering the corners and corners with a layer. Looking at it like this, it is impossible to imagine that this young master usually does not eat sweets .

"My lord, are you satisfied with the taste of fresh bread?" Bai Kou smiled and walked forward to salute.

Gu Yun tilted his head and glanced at Bai Kou, "Have you visited their sisters?"

"Yes, I just went there, and the situation is fine. They also want to understand the reason for your anger."

"If you dare to take my words as a deaf ear, the old man's decency has been defeated by them themselves."

"Don't be angry anymore, they have learned their lesson and have already reflected on it deeply."

"Really reflect on it?"

"Really reflect on it."

"Okay, let the two of them rest until Meihuan recovers from his injuries before coming back."

"Yes, son."

After finishing the business, Bai Kou saw that the son's attention was on the bread, so she quietly retreated and went back to her room to have a good rest. Today is a very tiring day.

In the morning of the next day, Gu Yun went out to meet friends early in the morning, Bai Kou assigned the errands for the girls, then went around the ice cellar and the East Kitchen, and brought Zeng Zhu a new menu.

After returning to Zhongmingyuan, Bai Kou took her notebook and went to Jicheng Hall to find Mama Pang, and asked her if there was any master in Jiuyue Mansion who had a birthday, so that he could make a record and prepare in advance.

Only the fourth young master Gu Feng and the sixth young lady Gu Ya are going to celebrate their birthdays in September. Bai Kou turned to the corresponding calendar pages and recorded them one by one. of.

Mama Pang was also flipping through the notebook she had copied overnight. Madam Pang had to make preparations early for the dinners and exchanges with the female relatives in September. discuss.

The three of them chatted and talked about the release of the list. If Gu Jing and Gu Yun are on the list, there will be a banquet at home. After the inspection of the last two banquets, Bai Kou is already recognized as the banquet chef in the house. , and now she is the supervisor of East Kitchen, it is more convenient to talk to her directly than Zeng Zhu.

While negotiating the rules and regulations, Jin Hu took a name sticker and came in to report that there was someone on the street who claimed to be Miss Gu Hui's eldest aunt asking to see her.

The eldest lady took the name sticker and took a closer look, and found that the names of the district family members were indeed written on it, so she asked Jin Hu to go to the front to bring in the guests.

Jin Hu went out on the front foot, while Bai Kou took the name sticker on the back foot and went to cover the building behind.

Gu Hui's mother, whose real name is Qu Shuangrong, is now called Aunt Rong in the mansion. She dresses up as a servant and devotes herself to taking care of her daughter's daily life. The only outsider who knows her true identity is Imperial Physician Min, because the medical expenses are two Personal, so every time he comes to follow-up visits, the mother and daughter take their pulse together, and this cannot be hidden from him. Besides, even Ji Chengtang's servants don't know the relationship between Aunt Rong and Miss Gu Hui. After all, her current image and The image of the expensive lady who came to dinner that day was very different.

When Ou Shuangrong took the name sticker, she saw clearly that the visitor was her elder sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, and a smile could not help but appear on the corner of her mouth.

"If it wasn't for relying on borrowing from my natal family to get rich in the past, I'm afraid I would have died in their family long ago."

"Should Aunt Rong go over and wait while no one comes? Your sister-in-law must have a lot to say when they meet."

"No, your wife is seeing guests, what am I doing here as a servant, don't provoke the servants to gossip."

"That's right, then I'll go and listen to Aunt Rong first."

"Thank you, thank you."

Bai Kou quickly slipped back to the big lady's ear room, and told the big lady what Ou Shuangrong said, and then the big lady asked Bai Kou to stand with Pang's mother.

Because it was a female guest who came to visit, after the news spread outside the gate, Mrs. Zhang's carriage would go around into Babu Lane through the side door. Tea and snacks for guests are already on the table.

Mrs. Zhang is a medium-sized woman with a plump figure, but she has a small and delicate face, but her face is sad, and she can't stretch her brows after she greets the eldest lady and sits down.

"Take the liberty to visit, and ask Madam to forgive me."

"It's okay, you are Hui'er's eldest aunt, so it's common sense to come and see the child. Take a break first, and then see if you call Hui'er out or go to the back to see her." The eldest lady didn't even ask what happened to the other party He knew that Gu Hui was in his own home.

"Madam Lao, please worry. We suddenly heard that Hui'er is living in the mansion. Our Ou family is very relieved. It's better than her being in our own home."

The eldest lady immediately understood that the district family knew the child's survival.

"Madam District, how about this, you can have a sip of tea first, then go to the back to see the child, and we will talk in detail when you come back." The lady said with connotation.

Naturally, Mrs. Zhang didn't notice the connotation, she just thought it was the Duke's wife who didn't like her coming to the door suddenly, thanked her weakly, took a few sips from the cup, then saluted and got up to see the child.

Bai Kou led Mrs. Zhang to the back building.

In the courtyard on the first floor of the back building, Shuizhen was sprinkling water and sweeping the floor. When she saw Mrs. Zhang coming over, she hurried forward to salute. After listening to the two of them, Bai Kou realized that Shuizhen was the girl that Aunt Rong bought through her natal family. Yue was sent to Duke Ye's mansion, no wonder Shuizhen looks healthy, she just need to supplement with food.

Shuizhen led Mrs. Zhang upstairs to meet the young lady. Aunt Rong was also in the main room. Bai Kou accompanied her to the second floor but did not enter the room, and stayed in the corridor.

As soon as the aunt and sister-in-law met inside, the crying came out.

Bai Kou walked away silently, not listening to the crying inside.

This wait was almost a stick of incense time, Shuizhen came out for a while, went downstairs to bring the washing water back to the house, and then saw Mrs. Zhang came out with re-makeup, her eye sockets were slightly swollen, but there was a smile between her eyebrows. The mood has been relaxed a lot, no longer the sad face when he first entered the door.

Ou Shuangrong came out together to send her sister-in-law downstairs, time was limited, there was too much time for the sister-in-law to talk, but she is now in the Duke's mansion, and when her mother's family comes here to visit relatives in the future, it is better to go over there to see the ugly son-in-law The faces of the family.

Bai Kou bowed slightly to Ou Shuangrong to leave, and led Mrs. Zhang back to see the eldest lady.

The eldest lady and Pang's mother were still discussing matters in the side room, Bai Kou led Zhang Shi in, she sat down after saluting and thanking her, the girl came in and offered fresh tea and left quietly, the four of them remained in the room.

"Thank you, madam, for allowing the women to meet the family."

"Surely you have already figured out what to say to me?"

"Yes, Miss Rong asked the women to speak up."

"Then let's talk about it. The two people beside me are in charge of the courtyard. There is no one else. You don't have to worry about it. If you have any grievances, just say it."
