delicious little cook

Chapter 383: Just Give Money
Rong En Tang also behaved normally during dinner, anyway, the second wife and third wife didn't notice anything unusual, and they didn't even know that there was an extra guest in the long room, Ji Chengtang and Zhong Mingyuan How could the subordinates tell outsiders about this?

After dinner, as soon as the Eldest Master and the Eldest Madam returned to their room, Gu Yun came to find his parents and sent them two notes written by Bai Kou. Besides one was the complete story, the other was to deal with civil and military matters. A story made up by hundreds of officials.

In this story, Bai Kou took himself out completely, and only said that Gong Zhenghui escaped from the hands of the bad guys smartly, bravely, wisely and mightily. Only then did he return to the mansion with the prince in the carriage for one person.

Bai Kou even explained in the story why he didn't send the emperor's grandson back to the palace immediately. When encountering such a serious incident, of course, he should give priority to protecting the child, and take his wishes as the first choice to frighten the emperor who is too much. Sun didn't dare to go out, so naturally he couldn't send him back to the palace.

As for why he didn't send the news in time to reassure the palace, Bai Kou still used Gong Zhenghui as a cover. Because the child was betrayed by a trusted servant, he didn't trust anyone, and ordered Ye Guogong to keep it secret as the emperor's grandson. , So even the second room and the third room didn't know that he was in the mansion.

After reading everything, the elder flicked the paper, looked at his son and clicked his tongue.

"This Bai Kou is quite good at making up stories, but she didn't take any credit for such a great achievement today? Are you leaving yourself so clean?"

"She said that it's enough for her credit to be known to those who should know, and outsiders don't give rewards, let them know what so many details do."

"It's honest enough."

"You get paid for your work."

Gu Yun chuckled, chatted with his father for a few more words, and then resigned.

The elder took the two pieces of paper to show to his wife, and discussed the unanimous statement to the outside world in the future.

After a while, the girl came in to pass on the news of the boy, and the elder uncle came and was waiting in the outer study.

The old man took the two pieces of paper with him, and rushed to his special study outside without delay.

It was about to close the door of the workshop. The elder uncle came over suddenly, and the butler waited for the young servant to serve the tea, then cautiously pushed them away, and he guarded the door alone.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law disturbed you late at night. I'm very sorry. It's really a big deal. There's a mess in the palace now. I'm here to borrow some help." Ye Hongbo, the eldest son of the Ye family, looked anxious. Just speak up.

"Don't panic, sit down and talk slowly."

"Father-in-law, this matter can't calm down. The grandson of our empress is lost! I took him to Qianlefang to visit the temple fair during the day, but he disappeared. Three corpses and an empty carriage were found in a side alley. One is the little servant who has been taking care of the emperor's grandson, and the other two seem to be special kidnappers. According to the analysis of the scene, I don't know if the servant is sneaking and playing with the little emperor's grandson. , the emperor's grandson disappeared. The four doors of Qianlefang were closed in the afternoon, but the child has not been found so far, and it is very likely that he has already left Qianlefang. Father-in-law, please use the guards in the mansion to help us find the child, it is so cold God, what if something goes wrong with such a small child like him."

Ye Hongbo still had a bit of sense, he knew he had to speak with his voice pressed down, and he was in a hurry while speaking. As a famous young Hanlin, he always gave people the impression of being prudent and reserved. It is really rare to see him like this now. gaffe.

"Hongbo, calm down, sit down, I'm dazzled by you."

"Father-in-law!" Ye Hongbo felt that his father-in-law's attitude was strange, and he didn't rush in such a serious matter, and he suddenly felt a little anxious.

"I'll tell you something."

"Father-in-law, please tell me." Ye Hongbo took a deep breath, suppressing his chaotic emotions.

"Today, our family Gu Yun and Gu Chen also went to the Yuanhe Temple Fair."

"Oh... hey?!" Ye Hongbo straightened his back abruptly, and slowly stepped forward full of expectation, "Do they know the whereabouts of the emperor's grandson?"

"Would you like to sit down and talk about it?"

"Sit, sit, sit, I'll sit!" Ye Hongbo's chaotic brain finally recovered a little bit of order. His father-in-law's unusual composure had already explained everything, and his face showed uncontrollable ecstasy, "Son! The child is at home?!"

"Hmph, I've been waiting for you all afternoon, who knew you came so late."

"You're wronged, father-in-law, the palace blocked the news at first, and I rushed over as soon as our family received the news, without any delay."

"Okay, look at your sweaty face, take a drink of water, we still have important things to do next."

Ye Hongbo finally put his butt firmly on the chair, picked up his teacup and drank it in one gulp, took out his handkerchief and wiped his forehead.

The elder waited patiently for him to slow down, and then took out the two pieces of paper written by Bai Kou and showed him a good look.

Ye Hongbo carefully read the two versions of the story twice, completely calmed down emotionally, and returned to the usual wise young Hanlin, and his mind began to turn around how to use this matter reasonably.

"This Bai Kou really has some guts."

"The descendants of the Bai family, don't insult the family style, now, I will invite her to give credit, and I won't mention her name to the outside world, but the reward must not be small."

"It must be, it must be rewarded." Ye Hongbo patted his chest, and his heart that was worried about the child's safety fell to the ground.

"Okay, let's not talk about joking, let's talk about business first."

"Father-in-law, please speak."

"Everything is business as usual tonight. Tomorrow, please invite your old lady to enter the palace early in the morning in the name of comforting the empress. We will also send a car to set off here, find a secluded place to stop, transfer the child to your old lady's car, and take the child directly to the palace. Go to the palace."

"In such a quiet way?"

"Send it back with great fanfare? Do you want everyone in the capital to know that someone intends to murder the emperor's grandson and attack the prince, and expose the fact of the palace's infighting to the world?"

"That's right, it's enough for civil and military officials to know about this kind of thing, and it's not necessary for ordinary people to join in the fun."

Weng and his son-in-law reached a consensus and agreed on a place to hand over the child. Ye Hongbo took the two pieces of paper and said goodbye and went home.

At this moment in the capital, the gates of all the squares are closed, and the atmosphere at every street is tense. If it weren't for Ye Hongbo being the eldest son of Ye Guojiu's family, the officers and soldiers on night watch would definitely lock him up for a night in the name of committing a night crime.

Back home, Ye Hongbo showed the story written by Bai Kou to his parents and wives. While everyone felt at ease, they kept the story in their hearts and knew how to deal with various inquiries from relatives and friends in the future.
