Chapter 414
"My name is Bai Kou, what do you need from me?"

"Your eldest sister owes us a debt, but she still hasn't come out, saying that she asked you to pay it for her."

"This has never happened before. I have never received a letter from an elder sister. If she says it is my elder sister, you will believe it. What are your brains?"

"Hey! Why not! She's right! Why aren't you sisters?" The creditors shouted in surprise.

"I was confiscated as a maidservant when I was less than eight years old. Now that I am famous, you are not the only ones who run away claiming to be my relatives and relatives. If there is no definite evidence, I will believe that they are my relatives, and you want me to replace them." To pay off the debt, do you think that the masters of Duke Ye's mansion are all idiots? Use an idiot as the prince's steward?" Bai Kou responded sternly.

All the creditors quit. They yelled and insisted that it was Bai Kou's eldest sister, Bai Rui, who asked them to ask for the debt.

Bai Kou didn't talk to them, and with a wave of his hand, the guards immediately gathered around and surrounded them. Bai Kou walked around the crowd and entered Babu Lane through the side door, turning a deaf ear to the cries of beating and pain behind him. .

When the servants in the mansion talked about this matter, they also felt that those people were disgraceful, and they dared to come to ask someone to collect debts without any evidence.

Mother Pang heard these rumors and asked Bai Kou to find out.

Bai Kou didn't hide from her, and told her that he did have an elder sister named Bai Rui, but the name was not uncommon, it was a common girl's name, and she came over with empty teeth and said that she was her elder sister's creditor, and asked her to pay the debt on behalf of her sister. There are such beautiful things.

Pang's mother looked sympathetic and comforted Bai Kou. She is now famous all over the capital. Everyone knows that she was the one who bravely fought against the wicked and saved the grandson of the East Palace Emperor during the Chinese New Year. There's no other way, but fortunately this is Duke Ye's mansion, outsiders can't come in to harass her, if anything happens, the eldest lady will support her.

After sending Mama Pang away, Bai Kou found the locked secret box hidden in the innermost part of the cabinet in Shizi's study. The key to unlock it was with her. She had a key for any lock in Zhongming Courtyard. Qinglan looked at it. She found out the secret box and didn't dare to ask her what she was looking for. If she questioned Guanshi Bai's work and let the young master know, it was not Guanshi Bai who was unlucky.

The two rules of the Zhongming Court, everyone has thoroughly implemented them.

Bai Kou took the secret box back to her room, opened it, and found the contact information of her aunt Bai Qiaoyue and her uncle Tang Lin. It was a normal correspondence address, so Bai Kou wrote a letter from home and attached a little Yinliang asked the car dealer to deliver the letter on his behalf, and asked his uncle and uncle to investigate Bai Rui's information.

Regardless of whether the creditors said that Bai Rui was Bai Kou's eldest sister or not, but since this name appeared, it's good to check it out.

It took Tang Lin and Bai Qiaoyue to check the current living conditions of their eldest niece Bai Rui, and it took them three days to give Bai Kou a detailed reply. They found out that Bai Rui's current situation was very bad. The status in the husband's family declined, and the daughter he gave birth to was disliked in every possible way at home. In addition, the husband died of the epidemic the following year, and the parents-in-law kicked Bai Rui out of the house as soon as the funeral was over. Fortunately, she got her husband's former friend. Introduced by her, she worked as a laundry woman at the inn in Chunhefang, and was able to make ends meet. At the same time, she owed a lot of debts.

Bai Rui would suddenly ask the creditor to look for Bai Kou at Duke Ye's mansion, because Bai Kou and his son took away Liu Qiang, Liu Zhuang and his family in Chunhe Fang a few days ago, such a big gossip spread all over the workshop. , Bai Rui naturally heard it too, and finally knew Bai Kou's identity, so those creditors were indeed called by Bai Rui, but they were beaten up by the guards of Duke Ye's mansion, and they went back to settle accounts with Bai Rui , Threatening to sell their mother and daughter together to prostitutes.

After reading the letter, Bai Kou became even more unhappy. Bai Rui's condition is bad. If she came to ask for help in person, she should be more sincere. For the sake of the deity, Bai Kou might help her pay off the debt, but it would If she didn't even say hello, she just sent her creditors to ask for money, so she deserved that she, as a younger sister, didn't recognize anyone.

After deciding to ignore it, Bai Kou put the letter away, went back to the table and sat down again, after thinking about it, took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter to his uncle and aunt with the silver taels, asking them to send the Bai family's money to him at once. Check all the current situation of the existing in-laws and relatives, so as to avoid similar incidents next time, she doesn't know anything and falls into the passive again and again.

Bai Kou knew that this investigation would be time-consuming. Relatives lived in different parts of the city. Tang Lin and Bai Qiaoyue had to travel from house to house. The weather in this spring was not stable, and there would be heavy rain from time to time, making it impossible to go out. She estimated that It will take a month to find out what's going on with all the relatives.

During this patient waiting, this year's Chunwei Examination finally ended. Gu Yun returned home and rested for two days, then packed his luggage and took his troops with him. At the invitation of the palace chief, he went to his house with a group of buddies. Wentang Zhuangzi in the suburbs to play for a few days.

Bai Kou brought Miaoer and Feihua with her this time, as well as Lu Doudou and the other three girls. She took care of the young masters alone, and Lu Doudou and the others were responsible for the food and drink for her and the other servants. The three of them along the way The girl never stopped talking in the carriage, chatting excitedly all the time. Last year, she was lucky enough to follow her to participate in the winter hunting. She was already very enviable. This year, she was able to accompany her to Wentang Zhuangzi to serve her. It's not that I can be in charge of the kitchen.

Everyone brought a lot of entourage, and the team looked mighty along the way, so the footsteps were slow, and Zhuangzi was built on the mountain. When a large group of them arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was already dark, and it was dangerous to go up the mountain at night. There is a small courtyard in Prince Yan's Mansion that is specially used for temporary rest. Everyone rests for one night, and then sets off early the next morning. Finally, they arrive at Zhuangzi in the afternoon and settle down separately.

This Zhuangzi is used to make warm soup. Hot water pools, large and small, can be seen everywhere. Even the rooms are directly imported into natural hot springs to wash your face and hands. There are even large soup pools built in the main houses of the distinguished status. After going to the mountain to soak in the spring, the mountain roads are all very smooth, so you can enjoy it as you want.

The palace chief, Jiman Zhuangzi, called people and took all his buddies to the mountain to play, and asked the servants to wait on them, so Bai Kou and the maids took the opportunity to enjoy the soup in the house, which was comfortable and relieved.

In the evening, when these men came back for dinner, they clamored for Bai Kou to write a recipe for everyone, because during the day when they were soaking in warm soup, Gu Yun's exquisite muscles were so enviable, full of strength but not exaggerated, and listened to Gu Yun. Yun said that his beautiful muscles were actually related to his diet. These young masters stirred up a sea of ​​jealousy, and they were so jealous that they pushed Gu Yun into the water, forcing him to agree to lend them Bai Kou.

Bai Kou didn't mind writing a few recipes, but asked them to take off their clothes so she could see their figures.

Gu Yun felt furious on the spot, and sent Bai Kou back to the kitchen, not allowing her to pay any more attention to this kind of nonsense.
