Chapter 408 A New Year Brings New Things

In the morning of the next day, in the Empress's Yiyang Palace, there were waves of visitors, all of whom were first-rank and second-rank wives, as well as various concubines and county princesses. The Yiyang Palace was filled with all the distinguished ladies. them.

The truth of the attack on the emperor's grandson was revealed. The concern of the government and the public was not whether Bai Kou saved the life, but that the content of the announcement issued by the palace did not match the real situation, which caused chaos in the East Palace and seriously damaged the royal dignity.

Ye Junting, who caused this disaster, was Queen Ye's niece, and Queen Ye didn't argue with herself, and silently let these wives vent their emotions, and then gave them away.

Mrs. Ye saw that there was no chance to speak properly with the Queen, so she went to the East Palace to meet the Crown Princess after she left Yiyang Palace, but reached an agreement with her that the Crown Princess would persuade the Crown Prince, then the Queen and the saint, and give Ye Junting a A magnificent title, and then send her away from the capital.

The Ye family will suffer a lot if they don't let go of this daughter. Empress Ye has no choice, she can't lose the power of her mother's family, the prince needs the support of noble scholars, so the Ye family has no choice.

Mrs. Ye came back home after finishing her work, and heard from her servants that a matchmaker had come to her door and sent many famous invitations to Bai Kou. They were all candidates for marrying girls of the right age in the mansion. She still didn't know how Bai Kou would choose. Woolen cloth.

Meilun's marriage is off to a good start. Now everyone knows that Lord Ye's mansion has high-quality maids who want to marry them. Now that the New Year is over, the matchmakers will naturally start to get active. In Kou's hands, if it goes well, he will marry many people in one breath this year.

The imperial court and the government have always encouraged slaves to let their servants go, and widows to remarry, so Bai Kou's idea for the son is earning him a good reputation among the people, and Duke Ye's government will naturally benefit from it, so the eldest lady laughed when she heard the news So she stopped asking questions and let Bai Kou handle it, and called Pang's mother to draw up a list of girls of the right age in Ji Chengtang and hand it to Bai Kou.

The long-time old maids in Jicheng Hall soon learned that they also had the opportunity to be married, weeping with joy, they all went to the wife's room to kowtow to thank them.

"You have thanked me today. Don't forget to thank Shi Zi and Bai Kou, especially Guan Shi. She is the one who is worrying about your future husband-in-law, so you have to thank them very much."

"The servant girls understand, Madam, please rest assured."

"Also, think about the ups and downs and time it took Meilun to get married, so if there is no news for a while, don't rush to urge Bai Guan to do things, be patient, if you can't get married this year, next year, she has her own. It's a good deal, don't bother her with pressing questions, if you marry you casually, you will feel uncomfortable if your life is unsatisfactory in the future."

"The maidservants should obey the arrangement of Bai Guan, and won't cause her any trouble."

"Okay, let's all go down. While it's still early, let's send news to the family, and we can start buying the dowry."

"Mrs. Xie, the maidservants will leave."

A group of girls got up from the ground, retreated out of the courtyard and couldn't help crying a few more times, and then walked hand in hand to Babu Lane, looking for acquaintances to convey the good news to the family, and then rushed to Zhongmingyuan to thank Bai Kou.

Bai Kou accepted their thanks graciously, which was what she deserved, and she accepted it naturally and frankly, without any pretense.

After seeing off the guests, Bai Kou went back to the house and continued to work. She rearranged the list of girls of the right age in her hand, and made a detailed list according to the date of birth, from oldest to youngest.

Bai Kou asked Qinglan and Xiaoyi to copy all the famous posts sent in by the matchmakers. While they were busy, Bai Kou wrote another letter to Ning Peilan, the second miss of the Imperial Merchant, asking her what to do? Are the materials and manpower for pre-marital background checks ready? There is a business about to open.

This letter was the first thing to be sent. Bai Kou didn't use the manpower in the mansion, but went to Aunt Rong. In order to keep in touch with the district family and her own business, she would send letters regularly. Bai Kou wanted to borrow This person communicated with Ning Peilan, otherwise, if she, the steward of the Zhongming Institute, had frequent contact with the young lady outside, there would be scandals about the prince, and it would also damage the reputation of the innocent lady.

After finally establishing a good relationship with the ladies of the family, I can't ruin it casually.

Aunt Rong was grateful to Bai Kou for taking care of Gu Hui again and again, and she agreed to the small matter of sending letters, and told Shui Zhen to put it in the letter box and send it out together with her own letter when the time came.

Bai Kou didn't leave in a hurry, but sat in Aunt Rong's room for a while longer, asking how her preparations for the new car dealership were going.

"On the first day after the new year, I went for a walk around the street and learned a lot of new things. During the Chinese New Year, Geely Inn has really vacated a place suitable for driving. You should send someone to check it out as soon as possible. If I don’t like it, I can tell Geely Store to keep it as a warehouse.”

"How far is that place from Xianbugou? Is it convenient to get there on call?"

"It's not far away. Xianbugou is in the front alley of Zhou's house, and the site is in the back alley of Zhou's house. The Zhou family in Zhou's alley was really a big family back then. Unfortunately, the population has withered, and it is no longer what it used to be."

"Since it belongs to an alley, it's just an alley end and an alley end, so why ask someone else to look at it, I'll just go and have a look."

"Okay, it's just that it's convenient for Aunt Rong to go out?"

"Our elder sister Hui doesn't need my guarding day and night in this situation, as long as Shui Zhen is here, not to mention that you helped her win the opportunity to go out to participate in social activities. She will take a long time to come back when she goes out in the future. Get used to it in advance. If you want to go to the street and tell me one day, I will go with you, and the car dealership will open one day earlier, so you can do business with more peace of mind. "

"Aunt Rong's words make me wish I could go to the streets tomorrow."

"Okay, then tomorrow, I'll just dress up like this woman, and I'll be your attendant. There's no one in charge who doesn't follow people when they go out on business."

"Hey, the number of my attendants is increasing. The prince now asks me to go out with six guards, and I wish I could ask the servants to follow along. If I leave the workshop, I am not allowed to ride a horse, but only a car, and it is only a car. His car, because the wood of his car is hard and the walls are thick, it cannot be pierced by an arrow from the back."

"I'm worried about your safety. The truth about the emperor's grandson has now been revealed. You ruined his good plan, and he will naturally take revenge on you. You should be so nervous. Think about yourself, you also have subordinates, If something happens to them, you will also ask and take care of them, right?"

"That's true. However, it's fine to take someone out. If I really dare to use his car, the eldest lady will make trouble for me. I won't do such stupid things."

"What are you afraid of? The idea is from the son. Just ask the son to persuade the master and his wife. They won't make things difficult for you. Now that you are the son's confidant, it is necessary to pay more attention to your own safety."

Bai Kou shrugged her eyebrows, raised her teacup and smiled mischievously, accepting the suggestion.
