Chapter 223 The Wives Are Going Far Away

The official document was issued on the [-]th day of September. Today is [-]th, and the day after tomorrow is [-]th. The preparation time is quite rushed. I don’t know if the five of them can draw up a menu, but they can’t even write their own names. illiterate.

Since Bai Kou was not involved in the celebration banquet, she was happy to watch the play freely, but after thinking about it, she had better go to the Zeng Zhu Courtyard, and she had to tell her what Mama Pang said yesterday.

The courtyard door was unlocked, Bai Kou pushed the door in, and just stood still, when he heard arguing voices coming from the room, Mengmei and Guan Xiumei were arguing over who Zeng Zhu should help.

It's late autumn now, and the hall door is hung with a windproof curtain, but it can't stop the quarrel inside. Bai Kou didn't rush into the room, so she stood outside the door and listened to what they were arguing about. Anyway, the people in the room Without clairvoyant eyes, you can't see anyone at the door.

Zeng Zhu was the second wife's dowry, so Guan Xiumei and the others justly asked Dong Kitchen to listen to them that day, and they had another reason because the third room had a small kitchen, so they thought Mengmei shouldn't compete for Dong Kitchen at all.

Mengmei's face was flushed with anger, and she shouted loudly, since the East Kitchen serves all the masters, why can't she cook in the East Kitchen.

People on both sides were arguing over who was eligible to use the East Kitchen on September [-]th. Zeng Zhu's head was getting bigger, and both sides were masters, so no one could offend.

Hearing this, Bai Kou understood the reason for their dispute, coughed loudly, and opened the curtain openly to enter.

"I heard the commotion inside from outside the house. What are you arguing about?"

Everyone in the room shut their mouths and looked at Bai Kou together. Zeng Zhu stood up quickly as if seeing a savior, and pulled Bai Kou to her side.

"Isn't this the two masters who have obtained official documents from the Ministry of Officials? They will take a bath the day after tomorrow, and the second and third bedrooms will have a small family banquet to celebrate. We need the assistance of the East Kitchen."

"Yes, the east kitchen happens to have a small kitchen, one on each side, where the cooking is done, and the rest of the staff will gather in the big kitchen to process the ingredients, and ask the maids in each room to come and get the food boxes by themselves, and the kitchen does not deliver food."

"But what about Rong En Tang and Ji Cheng Tang? Our East Kitchen serves all the masters."

"What's so difficult about this? The small kitchen in the Zhongming Courtyard is not dead. You don't need to worry about the old lady and the long room. The eldest lady is close to the water. She has already thought about it."

"That's fine, that's fine."

"Then discuss it slowly, I've finished my inspection, and I'll go back first if I have nothing else to do."

"Hey, fine, you can do whatever you want."

Zeng Zhu opened the curtain, personally sent Bai Kou out, and turned to look at the five dumb people.

"Did you all hear that? East Kitchen will assist you in setting up your respective banquets, but our cooks and cooks are only responsible for handling the ingredients. What dishes to prepare, what ingredients to prepare, what kind of knives to cut, and even the order of serving dishes are all up to you."

"I was in charge, I can't be too busy cooking by myself, I want to add more people." Mengmei immediately refused.

"Okay, I'll send a few newcomers like you to help you, but if you mess up your command, it's none of my business if they ignore you."

"No, no, I will cooperate well with them." Mengmei promised again and again.

Guan Xiumei and the others were already four of them, and they all seemed a bit crowded in the small kitchen, so they didn't say a word. Although they were a little dissatisfied with Zeng Zhu's failure to approach them, they didn't know whether to yell it out, or if they annoyed this side, it would affect their day It's their own unlucky cooking.

Bai Kou walked back, and the eldest lady was not idle at this time. After finishing the routine housework every morning, she went to the Rong En Hall to serve her mother-in-law, chat with the old man, and chat about the relationship between relatives. Trivial things, old people love to hear this.

While chatting, the matter of the second uncle and the third uncle was naturally the key topic. Seeing that the time was almost up, the eldest lady consciously lifted the two sisters-in-law out and asked her mother-in-law if she should suggest that they should follow her to take office together.

The reason is naturally for the reunion of husband and wife, and also to supervise men not to mess with women. The eldest son and eldest daughter are at the age of marriage. Embarrassing, I don't know how many people outside made jokes.

The old lady also thinks what the eldest daughter-in-law said is reasonable. The son and daughter-in-law are both in their 30s and 40s. The husband and wife have been living apart for the first half of their lives. Now that the children have grown up, it is too unkind to tell the husband and wife to live apart. There are also advantages for husband and wife to be in the same place. For things that are inconvenient for men to come out, wives and wives invite to sit for a while, which helps to consolidate and maintain the social circle.

Thinking of the future career prospects of his sons, the old lady accepted the suggestion of the eldest daughter-in-law, and sent her maids to ask if she would like to take up the post with her husband. The boys wanted to study, so they stayed at home and were taken care of by the eldest room. Take it there, and see the outside world, so as not to be said to be short-sighted in the future. If you are lucky, you might even get married.

With the words of the mother-in-law, the second wife and the third wife would not agree, they nodded repeatedly, their feet fluttered with excitement, as if they were stepping on cotton, and they called for people to pack their luggage again, and picked out the clothes and supplies of the ladies and ladies Come out and pack.

The aunts got the news from the servants one after another, and their minds moved, and they wanted to follow. It was too boring to be confined in the mansion every day, and the outside world was not as lively.

They knew that it would be unacceptable to tell the wife directly, so they turned their brains on the master. Anyway, they still have time, so they slowly looked for opportunities to grind with the master.

The second wife and the third wife are not easy-going lamps. After being excited, they thought that something would happen to the aunts. They had followed the mother-in-law's order and took the daughters with them, but they didn't want to bring the aunts. Let's talk about it, let the aunt stay at home to take care of the boys' daily life, and you can't rely on the long room to take care of everything.

How can the gentlemen take care of such trivial housework? Naturally, the wives can do whatever they want, as long as they don't miss their appointment time.

In the evening, Gu Xu and his three brothers came back from the government school, and learned that the second and third bedrooms would only leave boys and aunts to look after the house, and the mother and sisters would follow their father to take office. The boys immediately thought that there would be no elders The restraint, the heart is happy to bloom.

The third lady looked at Gu Jing and was also worried that such a big boy was playing too much behind his parents' backs. She also thought of the two big girls beside her son who had been serving her son with all her heart for so many years, so she was called to tell them to take good care of the young master. And in front of them, he ordered the old mother beside him to show them both tomorrow.

The two girls were so happy that they kowtowed to their wife again and again, and went back with peach blossoms on their faces.
