Chapter 416 Big Sister Is Really Big Sister

Gu Yun rested at home for two days, and invited his partner to go to Bajingfang to play polo every day. Bai Kou stopped following her. She spent most of her time taking care of business. They have already moved into their new rented home, and the renovation of the colored glaze workshop is under their auspices. Bai Kou lets them do it, and she only focuses on the unscrupulous business. She visits the raw material dealers. Go for a run and ask their artisans to prepare special spices for Xianbugou.

One day at the end of February, Bai Rui was escorted by her creditors and came to Duke Ye's mansion again. A group of people waited for Bai Kou to come back from going out, and pressed Bai Rui to the ground to admit her relatives.

It was the first time in more than six years that Bai Kou met Bai Rui, the eldest sister who got married a few months before the family accident. Due to the hardships of life, her body and appearance changed a little, and she looked younger than her actual age. They are much older and haggard in appearance. They have long been quite different from the eldest sister in their childhood memories. Even the doormen and guards at the side can hardly tell that they are really a pair of twin sisters just from their appearance.

This group of creditors was beaten up by the guards last time when they came here, and now they still have injuries on their faces. Bai Kou asked the guards to detain them, and went to report to Marquis Wu of Benfang, saying that they oppressed women and children, intending to sell the poor woman Go to the prostitution brothels and sue them for the crime of oppressing the good and forcing the good to be a prostitute.

The creditors cried out for injustice, but this is Tianshuifang, they are from Chunhefang, Marquis Wu ignored them at all, and asked his subordinates to take them all to the government to lock them up overnight and try again tomorrow.

In the midst of all kinds of commotion, Gu Yun came back on horseback, and he also walked towards the alleyway leading to the west door of the stable, seeing the confusion, reined in his horse and asked.

Bai Rui suddenly screamed for grievances, begging the son to decide, she is really Bai Kou's own sister.

Gu Yun was startled by her scream, and impatiently told Marquis Wu to take her away quickly, he got off his horse and told Bai Kou to leave with him.

The two walked along Babu Lane into the Zhongming Courtyard, and when they entered the courtyard gate, Bai Kou also finished telling the story.

"It seems that I have been tortured by life so hard that I can't use my brain. If you send them to the government, the government will naturally look for evidence from the file whether Bai Rui is your own sister. You helped her, but she didn't realize it. Count on me to come out ahead."

"How normal is this? You are the master. As long as you recognize her identity, the servant girl will have nothing to say."

"As long as you don't regret sending them to officials."

"Oh, the servant girl is such a soft-hearted person."

"What if she comes to your door again with the evidence given by the government in a few days?"

"Call her big sister when you come to the door with the evidence, what else can I do?"

"Anyway, you won't care about her debts even if you kill her?"

"If she needs to change to a new job, as long as you agree, the servant girl can arrange her to cook for the guys and drivers in the car dealership, and use labor to earn money to pay off the debt."

"Well, that's an idea. You can figure it out. After all, she's your own sister. If she's too ruthless, it's bound to fall into the mouth."

"Thank you, son."

Three days later, when the rankings were announced, both Gu Yun and Gu Jing failed the rankings, and Gu Xu made it to the rankings. The second room was overjoyed. In the afternoon, a matchmaker came to leave a few name cards for the second wife. Both men and women, for the young master Ladies pick.

The results of the general examination are not ranked, only those who are on the list and those who fail the list are eligible to enter the palace to participate in the palace examination. With the depression that has been smoldering in his chest for so long, he walked with his head up and his chest up, proudly announcing the good news to Rong En Hall.

What made Erfang even more happy was that Gan Yuwen also wrote a congratulatory letter, asking Gu Xu to go out for drinks in a few days.

Gu Xu only turned 22 in March. Such a young Jinshi has always been the key training target of the court. He has enough time to hone in the officialdom and grow up with the prince. In the future, he will be a reserve talent for the minister.

The second wife wanted to throw a big banquet in order to celebrate her son's entrance examination, the eldest lady did not spoil her interest, after all, it was a happy event, although she herself wanted to just celebrate Xiaoqing this time, and celebrate it after Gu Xu passed the palace examination, but the eldest lady Knowing the temperament of the second sibling, she simply did as she pleased, but ordered the East and West kitchens to cooperate fully.

The four of Guan Xiumei were therefore showing off in the east kitchen. Since the invited guests were both male and female, the west kitchen also had to prepare. Zeng Zhu and the others saw that these four people wanted to take the opportunity to show that they were more capable than Bai Kou, so they worked together as shopkeepers and let them The four of them direct, what ingredients are needed, and what menus are listed must be written down by them.

In the name of serving the prince, Bai Kou didn't intervene in anything other than going to the East Kitchen every day in the name of supervisor, and left everything to Zeng Zhu, the acting chief.

"Erfang's celebration banquet will naturally be Guan Xiumei and four as the chefs. Why should I steal their limelight and make Erfang lose face, not to mention that I am busy now."

Bai Kou said so, she really did it, and completely ignored it. Pang's mother asked her if she knew the menu prepared by the second room, and she also said that she didn't know, anyway, she had never seen it from Zeng Zhu.

Pang's mother was curious for a while, so she took time to find Zeng Zhu to see the menu, Zeng Zhu also said no, just saw it, but did not leave a copy, all of them were in the hands of the four of them, and the ingredients needed for the menu were all contacted with the warehouse by themselves , it seems that they did this errand with great care.

The second room was busy organizing a banquet at the beginning of March, and it just so happened that Uncle Xu's birthday was just after the palace examination. The top-ranked Jinshi didn't dare to expect extravagant expectations, and getting the second-ranked Jinshi would be enough, so naturally there would be a big celebration.

After the exam results were released, Gu Yun and Gu Jing went back to Fu Xue to start studying, and spent three years working hard for the next spring.

Bai Rui was designed by Bai Kou last time, and suffered a whole night in the government prison, but the next day when the master asked the case, the housekeeper found the file for her according to her confession, and confirmed that she was indeed Bai Yehong's eldest granddaughter, Bai Kou All the creditors who turned the good into cheap for the purpose of collecting debts all ate the board.

After this incident, Bai Rui realized belatedly that it was Bai Kou who helped her, so she went home and rested for a few days to recharge her spirits. The mother and daughter washed up and picked a sunny day to bring With the evidence given by the government, he went to Ye State Duke's mansion again to look for Bai Kou.

This time the door finally informed the inside that Bai Kou came out to meet people, and the scene of the sisters meeting and recognizing each other made all the disciples watching feel sad.

"Sister, don't blame my sister for being ruthless before. There are too many people pretending to be relatives. My sister, I am just a servant girl in Ye State's mansion. It sounds like a majestic status. In fact, life and death are in the hands of the master. Many things happen to my sister. I can't help myself, let alone promise others indiscriminately."

"Our family used to use servants at any rate. I understand what you said. My sister doesn't blame you. I only blame myself for why I didn't think of going to the government to get evidence."

"Sister, there is something going on in the mansion today. Our Uncle Xu will try to be on the list. There is a big banquet in the mansion. It is not good to bring you in to kowtow to our wife. Why don't you wait for me for a while, and I will go back and tell the prince to ask for a leave of absence. , change clothes and come out again, and take you to the street for dinner."

"There is such a happy event in your house, we didn't know it, what a coincidence."

"It's okay, it's not my job anyway, just wait for me."

Bai Kou turned around and went back to the Zhongming Courtyard, asked the prince for leave, changed clothes, took the money and turned to go out, took the elder sister and niece to wander the streets, and learned about the difficulties they encountered and the help they needed during the chat.
