delicious little cook

Chapter 183 Roll Up Your Sleeves and Clean Up the Portal
"Hey, then there's nothing I can do. I wanted to let people see your cooking skills."

"If the young ladies are really suspicious, the third young lady's face in the circle of friends will be in danger." Bai Kou resisted not rolling her eyes.

"What kind of bad idea are you playing?" The eldest lady drank tea calmly.

"Isn't this forcing Second Aunt to hurry up and find another cook to stop staring at my girl?" Gu Yun moved closer to his mother and acted like a baby.

"Your grandmother has already ordered your second aunt to buy a cook herself, and let East Kitchen do the training."

"Teaching? Are you really training or do you want to steal art? Where does the cook they buy live? Do they live with the ladies as a personal maid, or sleep in the east kitchen as a cook?" Gu Yun grasped the point keenly. .

"What do you say?"

"Since the purpose is to be a personal girl to marry as a dowry, it is natural that it is best to sit and sleep with the ladies in daily life, otherwise, if you go out to socialize, you will be exposed just by the small gestures."

The eldest lady came to her senses and glanced at her son.

"It seems that you are determined not to allow the cook from the second bedroom to stay in the east kitchen? Are you afraid that they will steal Bai Kou's recipes and pretend to be yours outside?"

"It will, trust me."

"Do you really think of your second aunt and your third sister like this?"

"Mother, the third sister is now facing a desperate situation of getting married, and a person can do anything before the desperate situation."

"Don't transfer experienced cooks, let your second aunt buy another new cook, and put them in the east kitchen to train cooking skills. This is a compromise method that your grandmother said. What's the use of your objection?"

"Tsk, it's really boring."

"I know what you're thinking, Ye Junting and Tong Mingli don't believe that your third sister has learned cooking skills, and now they are focusing on catching her flaws. If your second aunt and the others really bought a new cook in time, why don't you let Bai Kou teach you how to cook?" They have a few dim sum dishes, but the rest of the dishes will not be taught, let the East Kitchen go back to the old way of making traditional dishes, and if Bai Kou has any new dishes, send them directly to Rong En Tang."

Gu Yun immediately smiled, Bai Kou had been listening silently, and now nodded in response.

It seems that the eldest lady doesn't like the second wife's sister-in-law very much, so she obviously refuses to cooperate.

After tidying up the notes on the table, Bai Kou quickly left, and Gu Yun chatted with his mother. When the old man returned home in the evening, the father and son went to the study to talk.

Taking advantage of his position, the Elder Master has arranged for his son to enter the government school to study, especially now that he has passed the exam, and the government school is open to welcome such high-quality students as him, so on the tenth day of September he will I went to school.

Gu Yun has no objection to his father's arrangement, after playing for so many days, it's time to concentrate on studying and plan for future fame.

In the early morning of the next day, the servants of Duke Ye's mansion carried the invitations they had written overnight and sent letters to various parts of the capital.

The friends who had met at the eight wells square for three days on May [-] to compete with others sent letters one after another asking if they wanted to change the date, Gu Yun thought for a moment and finally decided on the [-]th day of September.

On the third day of the next day, the old man, who had worked hard for a month, sat at home to rest peacefully, listening to his wife tell him about his family.

As long as Ou Shuangrong and Gu Hui's mother and daughter can be saved, the entire Ou family will come to rely on them. The mansion sees that the future expenses will only increase. Although the Ou family's capital can only be regarded as upper-middle level, there are many connections. Multiple paths are always a good thing.

According to the news that the Elder Master heard in the officialdom, his third uncle Gu Xiaoshan is probably going to resign and go home, so that his four sons will not be affected. Who knows who will be promising among them in the future? developed again.

Gu Xiaoshan's family wants to swallow the eldest daughter-in-law's dowry now to prepare for a comeback in the future. Although the four sons are different from each other, they are children of the same father. They are all prosperous, and all are hurt. No matter how much they fight, they still have common interests.

As the head of the lineage, in order to show the district family his sincerity in protecting their mother and daughter, he must teach the greedy Gu Xiaoshan family a profound lesson, and take revenge for their more than ten years of painful life .

The elder and his wife agreed on the details one by one, sent his cronies Qiao to make up, and took Ou Shuangrong's property box to contact the Ou family. The two sides worked hard together, but the price was that Ou Shuangrong became a missing person in the government file.

Ou Shuangrong has no objection to this, as long as her daughter lives well, she is willing to pay any price.

The district family finally waited for this opportunity to avenge their grievances, and they readily cooperated. Early in the morning of the fourth day, they went to Yingtianfu to report the case as their natal family, insisting that the uncle Gu Kai murdered his wife to embezzle the dowry.

Gu Xiaoshan was just preparing to resign, but he hadn't officially come to this point yet. Once he heard that his eldest daughter-in-law's family had sued him, he was shocked and angry. When he heard the news, he sent someone to the Ou family to inquire about the details.

In front of these people, the District family poured out all the grievances of the past ten years, and produced the account books for so many years as evidence.

Of course, some of my colleagues in the officialdom went to the elder, he is the patriarch of the Gu clan, and he had to speak up for such a family scandal.

Therefore, no matter those who really wanted to inform him, those who wanted to take this opportunity to step on Lord Ye, or even those who were just watching the fun, all ran to the Ministry of Rites and Clean Officials Department.

The elder looked as if he had been harmed innocently by his clansmen, he was filled with righteous indignation, beat his chest and stamped his feet, lamented the misfortune of his family, and denounced the unfilial descendants of his uncle's family.Everyone around him hurriedly comforted him, asking him to take care of his body and not get too excited.

Gu Kai, who worked as an eighth-rank governor in the capital transfer salt envoy, was immediately regarded by his colleagues as a wife-killing suspect. He did not do well in the imperial examination back then. Although he was a second-class Jinshi, he was ranked at the bottom. As the governor of the lowest rank, the envoy has the credit of his own family's spending of money, and it is also due to others looking at Duke Xian's face. After all, Gu Kai's father is Duke Xian's younger brother.

Gu Kai's boss immediately asked him to question him, but Gu Kai complained of grievances with tears and snot in his nose, just in time to welcome the Tianfu's yamen servant to come to pick him up, his words and deeds were polite, and Gu Kai couldn't help but not go.

But when they entered the lobby of Yingtian Mansion, Fu Yin Shengtang who had just returned from court asked the case, and the plaintiff confronted him in court, and the case immediately turned in a direction that was unfavorable to Gu Kai.

At the filial piety banquet on the day of her death, no one has any objection to the fact that Ou Shuangrong left her daughter in Ye State’s mansion. The Ou’s family members agree, and Ye State’s Duke Gu Yun’an also agrees, but the reason given by both sides is that the child is not in good health. , I want to take advantage of the convenience of the Duke of Ye's mansion to invite the imperial physician to make a proper diagnosis for the child.

Doctor Min's medical records are the evidence. This tactful old doctor recorded the mother and daughter's medical records separately for the past few months. Once Gu Hui's medical records are presented, even people who don't know medicine will recognize it. The child has been abused since childhood.

Based on this point, Gu Kai couldn't explain why he was so harsh and cruel to his own daughter. Afterwards, Fu Yin asked his wife Ou Shuangrong's whereabouts, and he couldn't answer. But he couldn't explain how the housewife of the official family hooked up with outsiders. He wanted to ask the girl who waited on their husband and wife. Gu Kai also said that the girl had already been sold out by him in a hurry because he helped his wife elope.

There was not a single witness who could prove that Ou Shuangrong had double intentions, only Gu Kai opened his mouth and said that his wife had cuckolded him without any basis, and the officials in the hall did not believe this was the truth.

Coupled with the contemptuous behavior of their family who abused their children and plundered the property of the Yue family, and considering the rumors that Gu Kai's father, Gu Xiaoshan, was about to resign for retirement, the suspicion of Gu Kai killing his wife and embezzling the dowry to prepare for the family's future is growing. .
