delicious little cook

Chapter 419 Someone Gives A Gift
Under Bai Kou's reassurance, Bai Rui slowly regained her breath. The heavy burden was just like that, and she was still not used to the ease.

"Little sister, the prince has done me such a great favor. It must be because of your face. Tell me, how should I repay him? I'm afraid it will take a long time to pay back the money. Will it hurt me if it is delayed for a long time?" you?"

"You take the child to live a good life and don't cause trouble. As long as my position in front of the prince is stable, he will not be embarrassed to collect debts. You can pay back the money slowly, a little bit a year, and a year a year. One point, as long as you don’t borrow any more, you will pay it off one day, our son doesn’t engage in usurious loans, and your salary as a cook and handyman is not high, so he even waived the interest.”

"Thank you, son, thank you."

"You can move here within a few days. The car dealership is waiting for you to work. The house is easy to handle. Just you two, you can rent a room. The monthly rent is [-] yuan, and the house has been found. They are both female heads of households with no children. I will wait for you to see. We will discuss other matters slowly. There is no rush to relocate. You need to have property to settle down. Now the household registration will continue to fall. At your in-law’s house, it’s inevitable that they’ll be disturbed if we move the household, and if they make a fool of us, we’ll still be left passive.”

"Okay, I'll follow your orders. I'll go back now. I've packed my luggage and quit my job. The proprietress is sympathetic to me and let me stay for a few more days. I can't trouble them anymore. I'll be here tomorrow morning."

"There's still time, why don't you go and see the house first?"

"Don't you have to go back to serve the prince? Can you still walk around with me?"

"He's going to study, and he's not at home during the day. If you're not in a hurry to go back, we'll go and see the house now, and you can go after lunch."

"Then let's go and see the house. I won't eat lunch. I want to go back early and make dinner for the boss and his wife to thank them for their care over the past few years."

"Alright, let's go then."

Bai Kou took Bai Rui to the manor house, and asked the Yaman to take them to see the two houses. They were really widowed female heads of household, who made a living by renting out spare rooms at home. One married only last year and raised her alone. One of the two daughters is an elderly grandmother, and Bai Kou is more interested in the younger family of the landlord.

Not to mention that younger landlords can take care of themselves, the main reason is that there are no other tenants in her house, and the grandmother's house is different. The two sisters have already moved in with a new tenant and rented the apartment. In the other side, there are men and women in the tenant's family, and Bai Rui, a widow with a girl, really can't rent it.
Since there was only one to choose from, there was no need to think about it, so I signed a contract with that landlord.

The landlord was also very forthright. He gave Bai Kou face and Ye Guogong's house face. Bai Rui only rented a room for mother and daughter. The landlord directly gave her the entire back building, as well as the door lock for the back door leading to the street. , it is convenient for her to go in and out by herself, only asking Bai Rui to keep the environment clean and not to make a mess, and by the way, take advantage of their mother and daughter's popularity to raise the house.

After completing the renting procedures, Bai Rui bid farewell to her younger sister, and immediately rushed back to Chunhefang to buy wine and meat with the little silver that Bai Kou gave her last time. Given this job as a laundry woman, she really doesn't know how to support herself and her children. If she's the only one, as long as she doesn't choose, she can remarry easily. But if she has children, she will be chosen by a man, or marry an old bachelor or an old widower. Road, how can Bai Rui, a young woman in her early twenties who is in her prime of life, be willing to drag on like this for a day, but she suddenly sees a bright future.

At the same time, Bai Kou was busy making snacks for Gu Hui in the mansion. She received an invitation from someone else, inviting her to attend the March Spring Tea Party the day after tomorrow. Aunt Rong and Shui Zhen spread Gu Hui's clothes on the bed. Pick the right, can't make up my mind.

When Gu Yun arrived home in the evening, he heard Bai Kou talking about her elder sister and the matter came to an end, so he didn't ask any more questions.

In the morning of the next day, Bairui moved into Tianshuifang with her belongings and children. After a little settlement, the mother and daughter rushed to work in the car dealership, cooked lunch for everyone, and sewed and washed for the steward and the guys. Playing around her was neither noisy nor disturbing.

Bai Kou took time out in the afternoon to check on her sister's situation. By the way, she received a few letters from Lao Gu and went back to her own room in the mansion to have a look. In addition to Ning Peilan's background investigation, there was also the relationship between her aunt and uncle. Letter, their preliminary investigation into Bairui's in-law's family has come to fruition.

Bairui's family still lives in the old place, but the sons have separated. Only the old couple and the eldest son live in the old house. The neighbors in the neighborhood know what their family did to their daughter-in-law back then, and some still remember it. Now the dowry has already been spent, and the house that the youngest son lived in as a separate family was purchased with the sale of the dowry, so naturally there is nothing left.

Now that the sons of this in-law's family have separated, the matter of setting up a female household for Bai Rui can be easily resolved. Immediately after Bai Kou waited for the eldest son to go out the next day, she also changed her clothes and went to the Zhuangzhai tooth shop to find Their shopkeeper figured out a way.

After discussing and discussing, the most common way is for Bai Kou to buy a house in the workshop, so that her sister can move her household registration into this house on the grounds of being a widow.

However, this is aimed at free people. Bai Kou is an official servant, she can make money and enjoy extravagance as much as she wants, but she cannot own large private properties such as buying and selling real estate that need to be handled by the government. She can only pay for it. Buying the house and writing my sister's name is just convenient for my sister to relocate logically.

Bai Kou knows how expensive the house in Tianshuifang is. Now she has a reward of more than 1 taels of silver in her hand, but she doesn't want people to know about her money, not even her sister, so she returns to the mansion. Here, I want to wait for Shizi to come home to discuss with him in the evening.

In the afternoon, Gu Hui, who went out to attend the tea party, came back. For today's trip, the lady even gave Gu Hui her own carriage, and the servants and other personnel in the carriage. Everything was the same as that of Gu Xian and Gu Jie back then. They came back and said that Miss Gu Hui's performance was very good. Although she sat quietly and didn't speak the whole time, the good news is that the ladies who participated in the tea party today are willing to continue to invite her to attend their activities.

After settling down for Gu Hui to rest, Shui Zhen took a big bag of presents to Zhongmingyuan to find Bai Kou, saying that it was a condolence gift from another lady to the son, but she didn't know which lady it was. She only said that the letter was in the gift, so she opened it and read it. You will know.

The gift given by a young lady to the prince was a condolence gift, no matter how curious Bai Kou was, she did not dare to open it without authorization, so she put it in the inner room of the bedroom and told Miao'er and Feihua to show it to the young master when the time came.

The news spread in the main courtyard that Meihuan and the girls who were qualified to serve here sneaked into the bedroom to look at the gift while the young master was not home, even if it was wrapped well now, they could satisfy their curiosity.

"This is the first time the young master has received a gift from a woman. I don't know whose lady is like this..."

Looking at the gorgeous wrapping paper, Meihuan was at a loss for words, not knowing how to describe this noble lady who gave the gift boldly.
