delicious little cook

Chapter 450

As soon as Gu Yun got home, he complained to Bai Kou that he almost suffered a loss.

Bai Kou frowned, not knowing what to say, and turned to order the maids to wait for the young master to take a bath and change clothes. When he was sitting outside the bedroom drinking tea, Bai Kou told him the latest news. Go to Pingzhou.

"Didn't it mean the end of the month or the beginning of next month? Why is it earlier?"

"It's because I received a letter from the second master yesterday, urging them to leave earlier. Everyone in Pingzhou already knows that Zhizhou is going to marry a daughter and a daughter-in-law. The number of social activities has increased, and the second master is exhausted and sick. Anyway, now It’s almost the end of the month, and we just set off a few days earlier, and the weather has been okay recently, without any thunderstorms, and if everything goes well, we will arrive in Pingzhou by the end of the month.”

"Well, the family is going to have a new addition, good thing." Gu Yun nodded.

Seeing his lack of energy, Bai Kou told the maids to take care of the young master to rest, while she resigned and went off to do other things.

The following days were peaceful and orderly. The second wife led all the children with more than a dozen cars of dowry luggage and set off for Pingzhou with dozens of guards. Only two concubines were left to look after the house, although both of them were serious. The Liang family who came in, the second wife didn't want them to attend such a grand occasion, so they couldn't go.

Gu Yun continued to hang out with Shi Tianmin and the others, and always put his three buddies in the position of wine and meat friends, looking for them for food, drink, and fun, and saw all kinds of ***************, but If there is anything else, he still looks for his old friends.

Bai Kou wanted to practice archery, but women couldn't buy ready-made bows, so Gu Yun asked Wei Qian for three old bows that his sisters had used. After a while, a new bow string was put on, and Wei Qian also gave Bai Kou a long bow stand, which not only can hold these bows, but also has space for new bows in the future.

This pile of large items was delivered directly from Wei's mansion to Gu's mansion. Bai Kou joyfully placed her new weapons in her hall, and anyone who entered her room could see them at a glance. It was the prince who really wanted to develop Bai Kou into a female warrior. Even the Duke and the First Lady didn't know that this was actually Bai Kou's own request.

Gu Yun set up Bai Kou's archery target in the open space under the east wing of the main courtyard. Bai Kou lives in the east wing of the back building, and her archery practice ground is straight out of the veranda, so there is no need to turn around and fill the yard. Walk around, but the girls have to walk a little more to go to the small kitchen.

As for the necessary keys for archery, the guards will take Bai Kou to the street to find their familiar masters to customize leather keys. For beginners like Bai Kou, leather keys are the most affordable choice. She is not very practical now, and she will consider getting an antler when her technical level improves in the future.

The master who made the finger wrench carefully measured the size of Bai Kou's thumb. Although the wrench finger is a small piece, it must be made by measuring the finger, and then processed on site. The leather materials are all ready-made. Once made, there are several of them. Some are for Bai Kou to use now. Yes, there is also a slightly looser size, which will be used when her thumb is engorged after practicing arrows.

While waiting for the master to make the finger puller, Bai Kou ordered another pair of boxing gloves. This will take a few more days, and an appointment is made for the next time to try on the gloves. Bai Kou paid the money and brought her new finger puller gone.

The last time Gu Hui became famous in the chess club, more and more dates invited her to play chess, and she would go out every few days. Her life experience gradually spread in the chess circle, and people gradually understood How did her murderous chess style form at such a young age, it is no longer so rare and strange, and Gu Hui has also gained a firm foothold in this circle, met many new friends, and the whole person can see that she is becoming more and more cheerful up.

After entering June, Bai Kou's injury also improved little by little, so he didn't have to hang his arms all day long, but he still had to be careful not to overwork himself.

The last meeting also had the final result. Four couples were matched, and Bai Kou arranged for the second meeting between the two families. The girl talked with the man's family, and the young man talked with the woman's family. Naturally, the family members of both parties had an interview.

Among the three of Meihuan, only Meihuan was the one who fell in love this time, but the conversation fell apart during the second interview. Meihuan's family directly asked the young man for an expensive bride price, and he also promised that within a few years after marriage, they would take care of their own family. They were all redeemed to become civilians.

That young man's family liked Meihuan very much, but when he told his family about it, the elders were naturally not happy to have such an in-law, and immediately hesitated about their marriage.

But the young man turned around and wrote a letter to tell Bai Kou about it, Bai Kou told the crown prince, and the crown prince told his mother, the eldest lady happened to have a foreign assignment in her hand, and ordered that besides Meihuan, she His family members were all sent to other places to open up wasteland, but when they were busy traveling long distances, their monthly salary was several times higher than it is now, which made many people jealous.

For the sake of the money, there was no complaint, and they planned to go to another place, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and privately used the banner of Ye Guogong's mansion to get some extra money for themselves. The master didn't know, they didn't notice the last The sighting has already been sued.

On the day they set off, Gu Yun allowed Meihuan to go back to see him off. She had no idea about the man's family writing a letter to complain. Bai Kou sent letters every day, and Xiao Yezi would accept them at the door and give them to her directly. The letter will be returned to Qinglan.

Mei Huan really only thought it was the eldest wife's kindness, and because the two sisters had served the young master for so many years, she gave this assignment to her family. She resented her parents for seeing only sons and no daughters, He only wanted to exchange money from his daughter to his son, but he really felt sorry for their trip. After the family parted, they didn't know when they would see each other again in the future.

The family packed all the belongings they could take away in a carriage and drove away in a lively manner. When leaving the city from the south gate of the capital, Meilun and her husband Sun Qing stood by the roadside to see her off. Her family saw that she was a well-off person. Lingluo, who wears at home, has all kinds of jewelry on her head and hands. She knows that she will live a good life after marriage, and because she is in a hurry, otherwise she will have to sleep in the wild if she misses today's night, so they broke up after just a few moments of pleasantries.

Since the lady knew that this family wanted to get rid of the old master and become common people, how could they have a peaceful life, and sending them to other places to open up wasteland was just a pretext to drive them out of the city. After two or three days, they arrived at a place called In Pingshan Town, after staying in the inn that night, the family gradually lost consciousness in their sleep.

In the middle of the night, the door was pried open from the outside, and the whole family was wrapped in a quilt, and they were moved into the carriages in the courtyard. After the cock crowed, the merchants in the town got up and set off, and the carriages also left the inn. , When they got outside the town, they went their own way, and the family was scattered forever.

When they wake up from this long sleep, they will find that they are not in the inn in Pingshan Town, but already trapped in a hell with nowhere to escape.

And the eldest lady sitting in the mansion will receive a letter from Feige after autumn, telling her that the family that was originally sent to open up the wasteland has not arrived, and asks permission to hire people locally so as not to delay the next year's spring plowing.

As for the family that failed to arrive as scheduled, the eldest lady will ask the housekeeper to report the case to the government, requesting to capture the fugitive slave.
