delicious little cook

Chapter 402 The Attitude of the Ladies
"Let's stop with such a confidential matter, don't talk about it anymore, we are still Gu Shizi's guests today." Shao Xinwei said cautiously.

"That's right, let's not talk about it. Bai Kou is a maidservant. She should keep a low profile for what she invites her to do."

"Who said she didn't ask for credit? She did, and the credit was converted into money, and her name was not announced." Ye Junting snorted softly.

"Since she really took the risk to save the little emperor's grandson, so what if the palace gave her a reward? She is now a servant, and no matter how great the credit is, it will be credited to Duke Ye and the prince. What's wrong with her being satisfied with a pen reward? Could it be that you are happy that she quarreled with the master over this matter? Bai Kou is not such an idiot." Shao Xinwei was rescued by Bai Kou in Yuanhe Palace last year The friendship of the helper is more inclined to speak for Bai Kou emotionally.

"That's right, it can be seen from this incident that Bai Kou is very sensitive to politics, she knows what to do in her best interest, and at the same time, it will not harm the interests of others." Gu Yun's aunt's cousin Yu Xianhui said.

"She has been exiled by her family since she was a child, and she has stayed in a place like Yachifang for several years. She knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages better than us. Incomparable."

"Sister Ye, I'm a few days older than you, so I'd like to ask you here, your family is the empress's family, you must be careful when you speak outside, and don't let people use it to attack the empress and the East Palace, otherwise, Many people will be unlucky." Shao Xinwei persuaded sincerely.

"The attack on the emperor's grandson means that the palace is not peaceful now. Looking at the family backgrounds of us, they are all surrounded by the empress and the Eastern Palace. My Ning family is an imperial merchant and is still on the periphery of the circle. If the Eastern Palace loses power, my family At worst, he would be dismissed from office and ransacked his home, but it’s hard to talk about your family.” Ning Peilan glanced at the sisters who came around and smiled.

"What are you afraid of? Let's meet again at Jiaofang Division."

The sisters of the Wei family were quite forthright. As soon as these words came out, all the noble girls couldn't stop giggling.

"You guys are really generous. Since you know that Bai Kou is good at calculating, you don't have to worry about her calculating you to death when she has a conflict of interest with you in the future."

Ye Junting's complexion was a bit ugly, and she was not willing to listen to these bad words. She felt that since the prince is a heir, it would be so easy to lose power. accurate.

"Based on Bai Kou's clever response to the matter of the emperor's grandson, I don't believe that she will scheme to protect her own interests in the future." Ning Peilan said firmly.

The ladies immediately became curious, "Why do you have such confidence in her?"

"I don't know, that's how I feel. She doesn't look like someone who eats alone and makes her companions hungry." Ning Peilan recalled that Bai Kou gave her a business idea for a pre-marital investigation last year. It's all ready, but I haven't had a chance to try it out.

"Okay, I understand. Now in your eyes, Bai Kou is a first-class good person. I kindly remind you to be careful of her tricks. She still won't fall into a good person."

"Wait a minute, our sisters are fortunate enough to meet you for the first time today thanks to the blessing of our brother Wei Qian. I don't know if it is our sister's intuition. We feel that Miss Ye Jia seems to have a lot of dissatisfaction with Bai Kou. Bai Kou used to Offended you?" Wei Qian's two sisters were really puzzled.

"The two elder sisters are talking about it. Bai Kou once had a few quarrels with Miss Ye's girl, which led to the replacement of her personal maid who grew up together. Bai Kou has never heard of any punishment. look." Ning Peilan said with a smile.

"Oh, that's no wonder. Originally, our sisters thought that Bai Kou's ability to calculate should be her advantage. As the steward of Gu Yun's son, how can she help him manage various affairs if she doesn't have the ability to calculate?" Wei sisters Suddenly realized.

"The sisters of the Wei family have a better opinion. Bai Kou is still busy with business. If you don't know how to calculate, how can you make money in business? You have to be able to calculate in business. Every penny is money." Except Ye Junting, The other noble ladies nodded together.

Ye Junting pursed her lips, disapproving.

"This makes our sisters feel even more strange. Miss Qianjin, why bother to get along with other people's maidservants? Isn't it an insult to my own identity? We don't know what kind of person Bai Kou is, and we don't care about it. It's not my girl, it's all right for her to serve the master with peace of mind, if she really has a different heart in the future, there is no need for outsiders like us to worry about her since the son of Gu Yun and the young lady take care of her."

"Who says it's not? A person like Bai Kou can use it if he can, and he can deal with it if he doesn't want to use it. He's just a servant girl. Who cares if he's dead or alive."

"Okay, let's not say a few words, we are still guests, don't let the ladies in Gu's mansion hear us speak ill of others, this meal is all made by Bai Kou, how can you scold the cook when you are full? Yes, let's go downstairs, I'm still waiting for the roast leg of lamb." Shao Xinwei and Ning Peilan looked at each other, and took a step ahead hand in hand.

The other ladies immediately followed suit, while Ye Junting was choked up by what the Wei sisters said, and comforted herself not to be as familiar with the rough tomboy of the military general's family.

Going down to the second floor, the women and maids brought by the ladies came up to greet them, and after returning to their respective seats, the maids of Zhongmingyuan served hot tea again. After a short wait, the fragrant roast leg of lamb was served on the table. The first round is naturally the most delicious part of the skin. It is not dry or burnt, and it has a special taste, which is different from the roast leg of lamb that I have eaten elsewhere.

Dongshou didn't eat well last year, but today it's finally over. The supposedly elegant and demure daughters are all struggling, and all the nonsense about eating less to keep fit is forgotten.

Although they were full, the ladies unceremoniously stuffed a lot of small desserts into their stomachs afterward. The main meals and snacks always belong to two different stomachs.

Downstairs, after finishing her errands, Bai Kou washed her hands and face, walked into the water pavilion to pay her respects to the young masters, listened to their opinions on the dishes, and invited their entourage to eat in other rooms, then she went up to the second floor with a smile, I also wish the ladies their old age, and invite their mothers-in-law and girls to go downstairs to have snacks.

Amidst the greetings of you coming and going, when Bai Kou went around the table and walked to Shao Xinwei, she saw that her maid was still holding her walking stick, her eyes swept over the sisters of the Wei family, and the smile on her face deepened .

Among the guests invited today, Miss Wei's family is the most valuable. Whether or not Miss Shaowu's right foot can fully recover depends entirely on them.
