Chapter 428 What's the matter with ordering the crown prince to work?

"Although you don't need to pay attention to those girls' complaints, you can't let them go on like this. You should warn them, otherwise, if the old matriarch listens too much, it will be difficult for her to have thoughts about the servant girl." Bai Bai Kou started to use his brain to calculate.

"It is necessary to warn them to keep their mouths shut, but you don't need to come forward. I will handle this matter, and they will only listen to my warning. Otherwise, if you complain a few words, they will forget them in a few days and spread the word Not into the ears of the old lady."

"Then Lao Shizi will have to worry about it."

"Don't bother, don't bother, clearing the way for you is what I should do." Gu Yun showed a flattering expression and smiled.

"Don't scold too much, you need them to work. Those girls grew up in the mansion. Like Meilun, they don't have any common sense of life in the market. The maid wants them to serve in this teahouse and meet outsiders. , learn how to deal with the neighbors in the neighborhood, and when you get married in the future, your husband’s family won’t turn your head away after the novelty.”

"You think of them wholeheartedly, but you always complain."

"They can't even read a few big characters, so there's nothing to argue with them. When it comes to the blind date stage, it's their own luck to decide which man they will marry in the end. None of us can help."

"Why are you so zealous about worrying about them?"

"Isn't it just to reassure your future young mistress? Taking advantage of the past few years, it has become a common practice for girls to marry well. When the young mistress comes in in the future, she won't treat all the girls around you as troublesome men. .”

"That's right, no matter how much I love the girl, she will leave the house to marry when she reaches the age, except for one." Gu Yun lowered his head and kissed a few more times, "You'd better choose a young lady who is smart enough to be your young mistress, Otherwise, you will have to deal with those household chores, which will annoy you to death."

"I just want to avoid boring housework, so I have to worry about it from now on."

"Okay, okay, you think long-term, it's necessary, it's necessary."

Bai Kou moved suddenly, and yawned loudly, "Aren't you going? It's really time to go back. You are not sleepy, but the servant girl is sleepy."

"Really sleepy?"

"Can this be fake?"

"Okay, okay, let's go back then."

Gu Yun let go of Bai Kou and watched her quickly start tidying up the house.

"Don't just sit there, turn off the lights upstairs and downstairs."

"Are you so courageous that you actually order me to work?"

"Is this your shop?"

Gu Yun was immediately speechless, got up and put on his shoes.

"Yes, yes, it's my shop, I'm going to turn off the lights."

By the time Gu Yun ran around upstairs and downstairs, Bai Kou had already packed everything up, and even asked the elder sister for a rag to wipe the table.

After restoring the room to its previous tidy appearance, the two said good night to Bai Rui, lit the lanterns and went home.

It was less than the time of the second watch, when the night market was bustling, the two of them walked and watched, and Bai Kou bought a lot of supper, and when they entered the mansion through the stables, they gave them to the gatekeeper.

Early the next morning, when Gu Yun was greeting his elders good morning, he complained to his grandmother, saying that he had heard rumors that some of the girls who were waiting for Fang Liang to marry were speaking ill of Bai Kou, thinking that she was procrastinating and not serious. Treat the errands assigned by the old lady and the eldest lady.

Gu Yun's reason for this lawsuit is sufficient. After all, he did hear the girls' comments in Bai Kou's bedroom on the night of his birthday. He only needs to learn a few words, and the faces of the girls around the old matriarch will change and they will cry. Kneeling on the ground and begging for forgiveness, they naturally didn't know how their private discussions had reached Shizi's ears.

The old lady knew that Bai Kou was busy running the business for her precious grandson, but she didn't know that her girl was so ignorant. She first coaxed her grandson away with good words, and then became furious and punished them to kneel outside In the courtyard, I didn't see this scene until the eldest lady came to greet her mother-in-law, and hurried into the room to persuade them, which saved them from kneeling, otherwise their legs would be useless.

After the news got out, the family members of these girls were terrified, and they bought presents and sent them to Zhongmingyuan to apologize to Bai Kou, begging her to not forget the villain.

After the eldest lady returned to Rong En Hall, she also issued an order. If she refused to accept Bai Kou's arrangement for marriage, she could propose to withdraw her name, voluntarily cancel Fang Liang, and be assigned as a servant in the mansion in the future.

The girls who serve the master are all high-spirited, and they have clearly seen the opportunity to be a free citizen, not to mention that the man's family selected by Bai Kou is from a moderately prosperous family, so that they can live comfortably after marriage. With such a comparison, who would She was willing to marry the young servant and be a slave for life. As soon as the Da Furen gave this order, the maids of Ji Chengtang also knelt down in front of her, repeatedly promising to obey the arrangement of Bai Guanshi.

The only thing that was calm was the girl from the Zhongming Courtyard, who saw a lot of excitement in the early morning.

Bai Kou received gifts all day long, and even the families of the girls in Jicheng Hall prepared gifts, no matter what she gave, she would accept it with peace of mind.

At the same time, Bai Kou also used the mouths of Meihuan and the three of them to reveal the arrangement of transferring those girls to be married to work in the women's tea room, so that they can experience the life in the market. Yes, it is inevitable to deal with the neighbors in the neighborhood, but there are not so many girls waiting in the house.

These girls had just been tidied up by their masters, and they dared not object to Bai Kou's new arrangement. They were all obedient and prepared their own clothes for going out.

The opening date set by Bai Kou is April [-]th, because the album was sent out in the early stage, and in just a few days, all the rich and noble families in the capital knew that there was a new shop in Tianshuifang to open, and many girls sent it out. The servants of the family came to inquire about the women's tea room, and got a special price list, with food and drink written on it, so it was convenient to make an appointment and place an order.

The business on the first day of the opening of the women's tea room was left to the brothers and sisters who were related to the prince. They were all the daughters of the daughters who Bai Kou had met and dealt with before. They all replied to the invitation letters sent in the name of Gu Hui. A letter to attend.

The only thing that was a little unexpected was the news from the East Palace that the princess Gong Jingyun would also come to join her on that day. Her cousins ​​gave her the price list. Yun didn't dare to refuse directly.

Most of the snacks and drinks for the reception can be prepared in the mansion and taken to the tea room, but the summer desserts made of yogurt and milk still need to be made fresh. Teach the three of Meihuan how to make it, and prepare a pot of saltpeter water, which is enough to make ice cream.

The maids sent by Jichengtang and Rongentang are only responsible for entertaining guests. They have just started cooking, so they dare not entrust them with such important tasks, just let them do what they are best at.

The ice cream that Bai Kou tried to make in the mansion was naturally welcomed by everyone. The sixth young master, Brother Chen, must eat a piece every day when he comes back from the family school. With this, he can skip other afternoon snacks, even Gu Yun, who doesn't like sweets, would not refuse this ice cream to cool off the heat.
