Chapter 367 The Second Wife Has Arrived Home
After leaving the ice cellar, Bai Kou walked towards the east kitchen. When passing by Third Aunt Nie's hut, she also gave her a box. By the way, she wished her an early year and listened to her latest gossip for a while before entering the kitchen compound with a smile .

Bai Kou came here on time, so that everyone would be there when making afternoon snacks for the masters, so that she would not have to run around in various yards.

The remaining six boxes of popcorn were distributed to them. The three of Lu Doudou naturally got one box, the stewards got one box, the handymen also got one box, and the cooks and cooks shared the remaining three boxes.

While eating, everyone listened to Bai Kou telling them the origin of the pearl rice, and said that the third lady had given two bags, each thirty catties, and put them in the Zhongming Courtyard for cooking. I don't know how long it would take, so Ask a handyman to go back with her to carry a bag. While the time is early, teach them how to make pine nuts and pearls, or use it to cook miscellaneous porridge. The East Kitchen, which cooks for the masters, can naturally consume a whole bag in a relatively short period of time. .

Of course the chefs are happy with such a good thing. After asking about the ingredients needed for this dish, they will prepare it first. A Kongwu powerful handyman stood up and followed Bai Kou to Zhongmingyuan to get pearl rice. The two deliberately walked around from the big garden to the sidewalk In the middle of the night, she asked the maids to stay away, so she led people into the second floor of the back building, and carried away a bag of pearl rice.

Back in the east kitchen, the small kitchen has been cleaned up by Bai Kou, and all the ingredients she asked for are washed and prepared. The second and third class cooks and cooks are going to make the master's afternoon snacks. Watching Bai Kou make this pine nut pearl in the small kitchen.

This is really a very simple home-cooked dish. At the end, it is thickened and served on the table. It is colorful and beautiful. It is served on the long table in the big kitchen, and the cooks and cooks share it all with a small spoon.

Afterwards, Bai Kou taught them how to make popcorn, and after watching them make a few pots decently, she left with confidence. During the Chinese New Year, this popcorn would be a novel treat for the masters.

When walking along Babu Lane to Zhongmingyuan, Bai Kou met the second wife's luggage convoy, which blocked the road and there was no place for pedestrians to walk, and the servants who unloaded the luggage were still muttering that the young master was drunk and not sober. Know how the distinguished guest of the future uncle feels.

Bai Kou kept a calm and unwavering white face, but actually she almost burst out laughing, she walked back for a while, and went back to the Zhongming Courtyard in many detours through other lanes, she was exhausted from walking.

After returning to the back building, seeing Mei Huan in the tea room watching the tea stove boiling water, with a tea set for the crown prince beside it, Bai Kou immediately turned her head, as if she didn't know that the crown prince had returned, she went into the room to rest for a while.

Gu Yun was also washing his hands and changing clothes in the bedroom at the moment. When he came back, he ran into Second Aunt's motorcade. In order to avoid her, he didn't dismount at the gate, but walked around to the stables.

Gu Xu was still in a drunken dream, thinking that his second aunt's dignified and noble face might be distorted by anger, Gu Yun felt a burst of relief.

At this moment, the second lady was indeed furious in her main room. The old lady who had been cleared out by Gu Xu before knelt in two rows in front of the second lady, crying out her grievances. The mother-in-law who was covered with injuries cried the loudest. Their injuries have not healed until now, and the scars can still be seen on their faces.

After listening to their embellished accusations, the second wife was furious. Those old people were specially transferred by the second wife to wait on her son before departure, just to prevent the girls under her son from seducing Gu Xu while her mistress was away. The second wife of Tongfang decided that it was the two of them who poured out the decoction on purpose, not that the mother-in-law in charge of the decoction neglected to watch them drink it.

In short, what the second lady was most angry about was that her son replaced her dowry old man without authorization, making her, the old master, lose face. The second thing was that Bai Kou, a lowly maidservant, dared to hurt her, and then she became very angry. Xi actually took sides to protect Bai Kou and punish her old servant. As for the fact that Gu Xu was still drunk because he drank saber wine, it was a trivial matter compared to these things.

The sisters Gu Wan and Gu Chan held their mother tightly to persuade her to calm down. It's useless to get angry again. It's better to spend this year well, don't make the guests at home laugh, and wait for the eldest brother to sober up before slowly persuading him Get rid of the new girl in his yard and replace the old man again.

When the women below heard what the ladies said, they quickly thanked them.

The second madam lost her temper a lot like this, and finally lost her strength due to the exhaustion of the journey, not to mention that she has been pampered for decades, and her constitution is too weak to withstand prolonged agitation. Seeing that her mother calmed down, the two young ladies sent the wives back. Then he helped his mother back to the bedroom to rest.

Gu Yun used the reason to pay his respects to his second aunt, and asked the four maids of the second class to form a group of two, each time with half a stick of incense, they took turns to ask the second wife when it was convenient to see guests.

Just at the interval between the fourth and a half sticks of incense, the two maids who went to inquire saw those old women coming out with pride on their faces, and when they saw the maid from Zhongmingyuan who was waiting in the alley, they immediately raised their chins, looking like a little girl with someone backing them up. The look of success.

The girls knew that something was wrong, so they hurried back to the courtyard to tell the young master.

Gu Yun rolled his eyes, got up and walked to the study, and told them to call Bai Kou to talk in the study.

Bai Kou was lying on her bed and was about to take a nap, when she was called up by the maids again, and hurried to the study, Qinglan retreated as usual, chatting with everyone in the main hall next door, the second-class maids told them what they saw just now In that scene, everyone immediately discussed the second lady together.

In the study room, Gu Yun also carried Bai Kou to the imperial concubine's couch in the inner room as usual, and the two of them leaned on each other's legs covered with a blanket, talking comfortably.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"The second lady is home, don't you know?"

"I know, I saw her luggage cart, which is blocking up Babu Alley."

"The second-class girl saw those old women that Gu Xu cleared out came out of it very proudly."

"Oh?" Bai Kou was stunned for a while, rolled his eyes, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

"The second wife will not pursue the matter of the eldest young master being drunk. The second madam is most angry that the young master dealt with the old man she left behind without authorization, and that the servant girl injured her old servant. These two incidents have seriously damaged She is the face of the old master and the second wife, she is probably so angry that she wants to tear up the maid. Oh, by the way, the eldest lady must have been blamed by her, please remember to remind."

"Don't worry about the eldest lady, she is much smarter than us."

Gu Yun liked Bai Kou's intelligence the most, so he sent him over to kiss her on the forehead as a reward.
