Chapter 471 The New Wife's Caution
"With the white manager here, don't casually claim to be a good cook in front of her."

"It's not necessarily true. The cook who was raised by the family may have unique skills. It depends on Grandma Xu's choice. Anyway, everything should follow the rules." Bai Kou guessed calmly.

"But it's very strange. They have been here for a whole day. The servants of the second room are the first to introduce the personnel of the mansion to the young lady. They shouldn't have mentioned our Bai Kou's ability to them, but their previous behavior seemed to be right. We don't know much about Bai Kou, otherwise we should know that Bai Kou's title of supervisor is not a pretentious one, and she has the final say in East Kitchen." Zeng Zhu said, "Bai Kou's management level is second only to Pang Kou's. Mom, it should be the focus of the introduction, but judging by the performance of those girls, they obviously don't know anything, and they don't talk about such important things. Isn't this the second room's servants deliberately wanting to see the joke of the young mistress."

"No, no, I definitely mentioned it. When I came here just now, the girl cook was not surprised at all when she saw me. She obviously knew who I was, but how much and how did the old servants of the second room tell them, We don't know, but I think, based on the grievances between me and the second room, those servants must not say anything good about me."

"That's right, those girls just reminded you that they were just supervisors. It really sounded like a discord, so you don't care." Zeng Zhu patted Bai Kou on the shoulder.

"Why do I care about this? I'm just a supervisor who takes the third-class cooks' monthly regulations. The two dowry cooks want to start directly from the second-class cooks. Are you convinced?" Bai Kou raised his eyebrows and threw the topic to everyone.

"Dissatisfied!" Everyone from the cook and cook to the handyman echoed loudly in unison.

Bai Kou laughed loudly, waved the crowd to disperse, and went to their own business. After the routine inspection, she went back to the Zhongming Court to change her clothes and went to the street.

Gu Xu went out early in the morning to sell his leave at the Imperial Academy. Although he was a second-class Jinshi, he was only in his early twenties. A rare young Jinshi, he was directly selected as a Shujishi after the results of the palace examination came out, and he became a reserve talent for the imperial court in the future. Pingzhou got married and took a special leave of absence. Now that he is back, he has to do his business first, and send invitations to his superiors and colleagues.

Her husband was not at home, and after Gan listened to the reports from the maids and cooks in the room, there was no one to discuss with, and the maids were still resentful.

"That Bai Kou is really just like what the maids said, she looks smiling, she doesn't give in when she speaks, her attitude is proud, she deliberately makes things difficult for us, and doesn't take you seriously, miss."

"Stop talking nonsense." Gan stopped her girl lightly, "How old are you? How old is Bai Kou? She has not yet reached the age of Ji, and now she is the confidant of the prince, and the Duke and Madam support her, and she is free to come and go every day The mansion manages the business for the eldest son, and he has four errands on his body. He is the child of the former head chef. He was very popular in the winter hunting last year and was rewarded by the saint. Tell me, among the servants who came with me as a dowry, who is enough? Are you on an equal footing with her? She asked my cooks to start from the third class, so what if you only become the third class? Do you feel wronged? Where is the grievance? Can your cooking skills surpass hers? "

"Miss, that Bai...doesn't the steward have a second suggestion, we can just borrow the small kitchen in the east kitchen."

"Nonsense! Since you married with me, you should adapt to the new environment as soon as possible. As a cook, you still want to be alone? The end of being self-sufficient is that your culinary skills will regress! Bai Kou has no grievances or enmity with us, and she can't be bullied." Come and show me your power. I am the daughter-in-law of the second bedroom. She is serving the prince, and there is no boundary between the two sides. Go, then go to the East Kitchen and tell Manager Zeng Zhu that you two are willing to join the East Kitchen and start as the third-class cook. "

When the two cooks saw what their lady said, they stopped arguing and bowed and retreated.

Gan stood up and asked the maids to help her dress up.

"Change your clothes and follow me to meet the eldest lady. I want to ask her about Bai Kou. The descriptions of Bai Kou by the servants in the second room are full of malice. If a little girl like her is really as bad as they say, how can she be so cruel?" How can I serve the prince for so long, there must be something hidden in the process."

After finishing the housework in the morning, the eldest lady was about to go to the old matriarch's side to wait on her, so someone came to report that her nephew and daughter-in-law came to visit the elders, and when she saw her, she invited her to sit in the Rong En Hall. Chat with the elderly to relieve boredom.

In the old man's place, chatting and chatting, we talked about the coming Zhongqiu, and the girls who will be married after the festival. After serving for so many years, the master will naturally reward some things as extra boxes, and the Gan family will know The girl's idea of ​​marrying someone to accumulate virtue came from Bai Kou. She suddenly envied third uncle Gu Yun and his future wife. Anyway, it is beneficial to Gu Yun.

As a junior, Gan could only listen quietly when the elders spoke, and could only say a few words during their short breaks, and the topic always revolved around Bai Kou. By the way, she mentioned that her two dowry cooks had already Send them to the East Kitchen, according to Bai Kou's advice, start from the third-class cook, and gradually upgrade according to your own ability.

The old lady and the eldest lady cheered up, praised Gan Shi, praised her for her grandeur, and assured her that the skills of her two cooks would only be perfect, because Bai Kou was the supervisor of the East Kitchen.

Gan's heart was happy, and he boldly asked about various things about Bai Kou, only saying that he wanted to know more about this capable little steward.

"Your mother-in-law stayed in Pingzhou to take care of your father-in-law. You, a new daughter-in-law, have to handle the housework of your second room by yourself. My eldest nephew has always been a shopkeeper. If you have any questions, please contact Bai Kou." Let's discuss it, she has a lot of people in the mansion, even the male stewards in the front yard will listen to her." The eldest lady took Gan's hand and smiled lovingly, feeling sorry for the niece and daughter-in-law who didn't have anyone reliable to help her.

"Auntie, Bai Kou is serving the third uncle. If I talk to Bai Kou frequently, the third uncle will be unhappy, and I heard from the family that Bai Kou is very busy every day, so I don't know if she has time to talk to me. say."

"It is true that she will be busy for a while. Gu Yun's workshop has received two big orders from the palace. The people who go to school and study all day will be busy with Bai Kou's work. If you want to have a good time with her If she talks about it, you still have to make an appointment with her in advance, otherwise she will go out for a day, and it will be difficult for you to meet her at home."

"Thank you, Auntie, for your advice."

The old lady stayed with them for lunch, and when Gan went back to her room for a lunch break, she passed outside the gate of the Zhongming Courtyard and left a message to Aunt Su, asking Bai Kou for an interview, the time was set by her.

When Bai Kou came back in the afternoon, after hearing the message from Aunt Su, she immediately wrote a note to the young lady, asking her what she wanted to talk to her about, and then asked Xiao Yezi to deliver the letter.

Gan rested in the room, and when her husband came home, she saw the note from Xiao Yezi, and immediately took a pen to write back, asking Xiao Yezi to take it back.

Although there is no time for a face-to-face meeting, this kind of written discussion is also possible.
