delicious little cook

Chapter 226 Who Is Worse?

Gu Yun ate dinner calmly, as usual, went out to say good night to the elders after a short rest, deliberately stayed in Jicheng Hall for a while, and when he returned to Zhongming Yuan, he called Bai Kou to the study to talk .

The maids all stayed away. From their point of view, talking in the study is a serious matter, and the people below don't listen if they can.

Bai Kou stepped into the study room, there was no one on the desk under the window, and then he heard a clear cough, and saw Gu Yun sitting on the bottom shelf, talking here, even if someone was stuck under the window, he couldn't hear him.

"What are your orders?"

Gu Yun raised his head, and saw that although Bai Kou's expression was calm, but the corners of her eyes and brows were no longer lively and mischievous, she knew that she must have been troubled by this matter all day, so she put down the book she was holding casually. , Gogou fingered Bai Kou to come forward, and naturally wrapped her around his lap again.

"I heard that you have relatives who came to your door today?"

"It may be that the servants of Yingtian Mansion leaked the information of the witnesses. I heard that as long as the money is enough, they can tell everything. But whether they are relatives remains to be investigated. Grandpa Bai Yehong and his family have all been exiled, and there are no female relatives who have been implicated. If we want to prove that we are from the Bai family, we have to testify to each other, and we have to go back to our hometown to ask the old neighbors to testify. The housekeeper sent someone to check the files at the gate of the yamen during the day, and we have to wait a day or two or three for the exact news. We don’t have much impression, but I clearly remember that a few months before the accident at home, the eldest sister got married. On the day when we were released from the cabinet, we younger sisters surrounded her to make up, because it was too messy and was coaxed out by the elders. So after the accident, sisters of the same generation Among them, only this eldest sister escaped, but the maidservant doesn’t know who her brother-in-law is, so I think she married a well-matched family back then.”

After listening silently, Gu Yun rubbed Bai Kou's head.

"If it turns out that they are really your aunt and uncle? What are you going to do?"

"Does the son hope that the servant girl will have two more relatives like this?"

"of course not!"

"If it's really my aunt and uncle, then I will check their family background in detail. With the golden signboard of Yuchubai, the aunts must find the right family when they get married. How did this uncle fall into such a situation? A scam."

"If, I mean if, what if it is verified? People like them are bound to be like glue, clinging to each other desperately, and they might even spread the word outside. I won't be happy if you get distracted by them Yes."

"It's a good thing to publicize. If it's a real relative, I'm afraid they won't publicize it."

"why?"

"The maidservant is the steward who waits on Duke Ye's son. The number two person in Duke Ye's mansion, such a status and status naturally have many benefits. Obviously, he can enjoy the secrets to gain benefits. Why should he tell other relatives to divide his interests? ?”

"And if they are real relatives, and decide to keep the secret?"

"In order to avoid them causing big troubles for the servant girl in the future, the servant girl will naturally act first."

Bai Kou's eyes turned around, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, in Gu Yun's eyes, he felt a murderous intent, and a chill came from behind his back.

"A ghostly place like Yachifang, all the good girls learn badly, and they yell and kill every now and then."

"It's the most stupid behavior to let go of potential dangers. The maids can't give them the opportunity to cause trouble outside under the banner of Duke Ye's mansion. There are short-sighted people in this world who only focus on the profit in front of them. , and don’t look at the nine-point profit in the distance. As long as that one-point profit goes into their own pockets, it’s none of their business what kind of losses others suffer, let alone whether they will continue to benefit after hurting others. Don’t worry about today, don’t care about tomorrow. People who set up scams for a living are used to making quick money. They only have the ability to count the winners and losers of a game. They can’t make long-term plans. It’s already a gamble that takes a lot of brains and time.”

"I don't see it that way."

"Also ask the son to advise."

"The polo game was on the sixth day of September. Today is only thirteenth. It took only seven days before and after. That guy didn't go to jail, he just got a board, and he can already walk on the ground. It can be seen that he has left himself too clean in this scam. In order to avoid being retaliated by his accomplices afterwards, he has to save his life first."

"In other words, if they are real relatives, the servant girl still has to be kind to them? The servant girl is not familiar with them, and I don't remember such an elder aunt at all. What's more, the servant girl is now an official servant girl, and she cannot be compared to the relatives of the common people."

"Don't worry, wait until the results of the investigation come out. They are old fritters who often go in and out of government prisons. They are familiar with the laws and regulations. They will do things that are not on the table. Since they dare to come to the door in broad daylight If it is your aunt and uncle, you must have solid evidence to dare to do this."

"So you believe they are real relatives? Do you still want to keep them for yourself?"

"Their real villains can't cause big trouble for a while. Don't forget that our primary goal is to kill Wuhou of Yachifang and clean up the gangs that have had grievances with you, but we have to design people to be dismissed. A legitimate reason is needed."

"You want them to do this? Aren't you afraid that they will turn around and threaten greater benefits after the matter is done?"

"A person who sets up scams for a living has offended many enemies. Who knows that one day he will be blocked in the street, dragged to an alley and beaten violently. In the end, the treatment will not work?"

"My lord, you are really the worst. Compared with you, this servant girl is ashamed and willing to lose."

"To each other." Gu Yun raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to pinch Bai Kou's face, with a half-smile, "Don't put gold on your face."

With a turn of Bai Kou's eyes, the irritability that had been entangled in her heart for a day was swept away, and the usual agile expression appeared on the corners of her eyes and brows. Before Gu Yun could react, she slid down from his lap, and when the hem of her skirt was raised, she was in awe. Standing a few steps away.

"It's getting late, I don't dare to delay my son's study, the servant girl goes to the kitchen to cook supper, and I will take my leave for the time being."

Bai Kou walked away briskly, Gu Yun continued to sit for a while with a strange expression on his face, then stood up a little stiffly, went to the desk in front of the window and sat down, his body was hot and thirsty, he drank the whole cup of tea in one go, to calm himself down, I opened the book I wanted to read but couldn't read a word, so I had to let it go in a daze. It took almost an incense stick of time to finally regain the mood of reading, and slowly immersed in the text of the book.

The next day, September [-]th, there was a busy scene in the east kitchen. The cooks in the second and third rooms were busy with semi-processing some meat ingredients. Bai Kou had greeted the ice cellar in advance. They are adjacent to each other. In order to prevent the cooks from cheating on each other and spoiling other people's dishes secretly, the ice room in each room must be locked, and someone must follow when entering and exiting.

Everyone in the ice cellar obeyed Bai Kou's orders. Even the people in the warehouse and the east kitchen felt that the ice cellar seemed to be under strict control these days, but strictness is always a good thing, so no one thought about the reason.
