Chapter 368 How to Take Precautions

Bai Kou silently pushed Gu Yun's face away, not wanting him to eat tofu too easily every time, but Gu Yun quickly stuck to it again, which made Bai Kou suddenly have the feeling of making a pot of brown sugar on his head. impulse.

"What are you thinking? You're in a daze again." Gu Yun hooked Bai Kou's chin.

"Make a pot of brown sugar."

"Hey?! We're talking about business, but you actually deserted!" Gu Yun poked Bai Kou's forehead angrily and amusedly.

"Second Madam must be complaining now, so save some effort, and I heard that my uncle will come with me in the future, so she can't make a fuss during the Chinese New Year."

"That's right, as long as that honored guest doesn't leave, even if she gets angry, she still has to pretend to be a virtuous mistress."

"Should I stimulate her a bit, make her go crazy in front of distinguished guests, and ruin this marriage?"

"No, it will hurt the face of the Duke's family. As long as there is no separation, whatever the second and third householders do will be blamed on the Duke of Ye's house. My eldest family can't avoid being blamed every day. Are you still taking the initiative to put a pot on your own head?"

"It makes sense. When people talk about it in the market, the opening line must be what's going on with Duke Ye's mansion."

"That's right, so we can't let her make a fool of myself in front of outsiders."

"Well, then there's nothing to discuss. Let's just wait and see the excitement. After a lot of difficulty, a group of maids came to welcome the young mistress who is about to pass through the house. This is his sincerity. It depends on whether the second lady is right My mind is clear."

Bai Kou thought for a while, then continued.

"Why don't you wait until the end of the new year, and use the reason of preparing for the marriage to encourage the second wife to continue to go with the second master? The eldest and young master's wedding will have to be in summer at the earliest. It will take time for the man's family to prepare the dowry and the woman's family to prepare the dowry. Let the eldest young master go to his father's place to get married, and return to the capital after three days."

"Your calculation is very clever!" Gu Yun's eyes lit up.

"Also, take the reason that the young master Chun Wei is coming soon, please ask the old lady to come forward and forcefully suppress the second lady and tell her not to mess around. The young master's birthday is in March, and he will be [-] years old next year. If you are troubled by family matters, As a result, she did not perform well and failed the rankings. The next time she takes the exam, she will be twenty-five years old. The second wife is only a legitimate son. Let's see if she wants to give up her son's future and only care about herself."

Gu Yun giggled, pulled Bai Kou into his arms, and kissed her hard on the forehead.

"It's a very clever trick. I'll talk about it tonight, and I have a good reason not to be afraid that she won't marry her husband."

"What reason?"

"It's just that the second master can't take such a long vacation and travels back and forth just to attend his son's wedding."

"That's right, the second master is now one of the parents, and he can't stay away from the yamen for too long. If the master of a state takes half a month's leave because of his son's marriage, he drops his errands and rushes back to the capital instead of going to his father's house with his son who is only busy getting married. Married to the woman, this will definitely be read by a good person, and then the second master will be reprimanded, and the eldest and young master's official career will be hindered."

Gu Yun couldn't stop laughing, "Look, you can see the consequences, I believe the second wife must be very clear, for the sake of father and son's official career, she must swallow these breaths."

Bai Kou lifted the blanket with a smile and jumped off the ground.

"I thought it was something important, but it turned out to be such a small matter."

"Isn't it important for the second lady to go home? We have reasons to force her to compromise, but she can get it back in the future. For example, when she is preparing for the dowry, she keeps picking and finding fault. Isn't it?" Gu Yun held Bai Kou's hand and refused to let her go.

"The public will give the 1 taels of cash, and she will do what she buys by herself. She can't get her son married. The public will contribute money and effort, not to mention that the effort may not necessarily please her. Er, who has always been stingy. How much sweetness is Madam willing to give to the family servants who are working under her?"

"Yo yo yo, listen to your tone, you sound like a big butler." Gu Yun teased Bai Kou by scratching the bridge of her nose lightly.

"My servant is still a servant of the public, so I naturally look down on the second lady's style." Bai Kou pursed her lips and shook his hand away.

Gu Yun was suddenly dumbfounded, Bai Kou wandered around in front of him every day, serving him with all his heart, he always forgot that she was not transferred to his subordinates.

"Such a heavy resentment."

Gu Yun stood up, hugged Bai Kou comfortingly, and patted her on the back.

Bai Kou smelled the good-smelling incense in Gu Yun's clothes, and rubbed it against her bosom. When she heard Gu Yun's giggling from above her head, she quickly woke up, and then pushed him away.

"It's time for you to greet the second lady, just to see how she reacts. Also, ask where the honored guest eats dinner. If it's the second room's reception, it's not the business of the servant girl. If it's the old lady's reception, do you want it? The servant girl should add a few more dishes, a dried squid happened to be soaked today, if there are more dishes, the servant girl will start preparing immediately."

"it is good."

Gu Yun watched with a smile as Bai Kou went out first, he took a casual book and flipped it on the Arhat couch to read, and when Qinglan came in to serve her, there was nothing suspicious about it.

Bai Kou went directly to the small kitchen and told the girls to handle the ingredients for dinner, while she sat in the cafeteria eating Mala Tang, waiting for the cooking time.

While reading idle books, Gu Yun ordered the girl to go to the second room to ask the second wife if she had settled down. The nephews were waiting to greet her.

After a while, the maids came to report back, and the third lady Gu Wan said that the second lady had rested from the exhaustion of the journey and would not see any guests today.

After hearing such a reply, Gu Yun couldn't help but sneer, "No visitor?Didn't even pay attention to the honored guest she brought back?Gu Yun put down his book, got up and went out to Jicheng Hall.

When passing by the small kitchen, Gu Yun saw Bai Kou eating in the cafeteria, the two looked at each other, and Gu Yun continued walking without stopping.

Before the old man arrived home, Gu Yun told his mother about the current situation of the second bedroom, and discussed all the opinions he had discussed with Bai Kou with his mother, but he didn't say anything about Bai Kou.

But in fact, what Bai Kou can think of, the eldest lady can naturally think of it. As the head of the house, she has more experience in managing such a big family, so she never thought of Bai Kou's problem at all. She just thought that her son was doing housework. The higher-ups are getting more and more enlightened, and they praised him a lot. They very much agree with letting Gu Xu go to his father to get married. unhappy.
