delicious little cook

Chapter 477
After Bai Kou straightened out the current relationship between the characters, he calmed down, took a new envelope, put in a 100 tael bank note, wrote down the address of his eldest uncle Tang Lin, and put it in a drawer, planning to mail it out tomorrow .

After keeping him busy for so long, she finally found out the result. The money was for his hard work, and she would do the rest by herself.

When Gu Yun arrived home in the evening, he ignored Qing Yu's affairs and greeted the elders after dinner. Gu Chen took the textbook and asked his brother for advice. The two brothers were doing their homework together in the side room. Come to join in the fun, calculate the materials needed to complete the follow-up production, arrange the production plan, and worry about Meihuan's wedding. In addition, the daily regulations of the tea room should be written down in black and white for Shuizhen to execute. A pile of things piled up together, There is a floor of paper materials.

Gu Chen finished his homework and left. After Gu Yun finished writing two articles, Shi Ce signaled Qinglan to close his pen, and he took another book and sat down to read it quietly.

After Qinglan cleaned up the used stationery, brought supper, and then retreated quietly under the hint of the young master's eyes.

Gu Yun read a few pages of the book, then put down the book and got up to eat. He quietly walked behind Bai Kou with the tray, and stuffed a small cake into her mouth.

Bai Kou chewed on the crispy biscuits, put down the pen and paper, and took a break by the way.

Gu Yun ate a piece for himself, fed her a piece, and the two of them finished eating the night snack like this.

Bai Kou took the tray to Qinglan outside the door, changed the tea and came in, closed the door and turned around, and saw Shizi looking through what she had just written, so she put the tea tray on the low cabinet under the wall.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​writing the charter of the teahouse?"

"Meihuan and the others are getting married, and the servant girl has already made an agreement with Aunt Rong that Tiao Shuizhen will come over to be the steward of the teahouse, and they will buy four new people to serve them."

"Oh, it should be. Pick a few good ones. Those with skills are the best. If they are more expensive, they will be more expensive. There is no need to save this money."

"Yes."

"Is there anything else I should know?"

Gu Yun stretched out his hand to drink tea, Bai Kou hurriedly placed the tea tray by his hand and poured him a cup.

"Qing Yu told the truth."

"Did she hook up with someone at the beauty banquet?" Gu Yun calmly drank tea with an expression of knowing it well.

"Do you know who she hooked up with?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen anyone."

"She said that the first time she went to a beauty banquet, someone pulled her into a small circle. The beauties in that circle served either the head of the family or the heir, so it seemed natural for the other party to win her over."

"Then?"

"The eldest sister who is the leader in that circle is called Lanzhu, and she is said to be the beauty of Mr. Xiaoliang."

"Which Young Master Xiaoliang?"

"The son of Grand Master Liang."

"The father-in-law of the eldest son of the emperor, the father of Princess Yu?!" Gu Yun was startled, almost dropped the teacup in his hand, and Bai Kou put it on the tea tray in time.

"If Qing Yu is not lying, then it is."

"Will Qing Yu lie?"

"It doesn't look like it. She is not the kind of person who is so shrewd as to mix the truth with lies. Besides, she is very clear about one thing. She is still in the Zhongming Courtyard. If she dares to lie, the maid will not spare her. "Bai Kou sneered.

"King Yu and Princess Jiayou are siblings born to Concubine Zhao Xian. Their family is surrounding me from all angles. How can I make them pay so much attention?"

"The three sons of the Gu family are all teenage juren and young Jinshi. Why are they not worthy of attention? Before you have formed a firm political orientation, I will draw you into your circle in time and let you advance in a subtle way. Stand in line."

"The crown prince is the son of the eldest son. What's the point of standing in line? This is the most annoying thing for courtiers. Standing on the wrong side means losing your head."

"It's true that the crown prince is a legitimate son, but the sage has only one legitimate son under his knees. Who knows how long the prince can last? Once the prince is gone, the grandson will not be able to keep it."

"What do you mean?"

"The investigation on Wang Xiaodong has come to fruition."

"Huh? When did you check him?"

"In summer."

"You have always been brooding over his clean-up of the royal kitchen."

"Yes, so check him while you have money."

"The results of it?"

"He belongs to Concubine Zhao Xian."

"What?!" Gu Yun was just surprised before, but now he was really shocked, and his expression changed.

"And now that the entire imperial kitchen is under his control, Concubine Zhao Xian may sacrifice his pawn at any time in order to let her son rise to the throne."

"Wang Xiaodong belongs to Concubine Zhao Xian, the evidence is solid?"

"According to his closest circle of relatives and friends, it is true."

"How to say?"

"Wang Xiaodong has a younger brother named Wang Xiaonan. His first wife died seven or eight years ago. Through his elder brother's matchmaking, the wife he married was the daughter of a family named Tang in Qianhuaifang, and this family surnamed Tang had a My uncle and nephew's surname is Shao, named Shao Yiping. Both parents died when he was young. The Tang family raised him until he was about ten years old. The Chief's direct supervisor."

Gu Yun was dumbfounded, and stared at Bai Kou for a while before recovering his voice.

"The Zhao Liangdi back then is the current Concubine Zhao Xian! Surrounding such a large circle, they are all a family? But how did you find out the relative relationship of Eunuch Shao outside the palace?"

"Because the Tang family didn't hide it at all. Everyone in Qianhuaifang knows this, but anyone who wants to leave the relationship with Concubine Zhao Xian must go through the hands of the Tang family. The residents in the workshop are afraid of their power and dare not follow them Outsiders gossip, so few people outside Qianhuaifang know about it."

"You just said that seven or eight years ago, Wang Xiaodong acted as a matchmaker for his younger brother and married the daughter of Eunuch Shao's relative's family as his successor?"

"Yes, judging from this time, Wang Xiaodong had already hooked up with Concubine Zhao Xian earlier, but to verify this conjecture, further investigation is needed."

"There's no need to investigate. If we continue to investigate, we may start to scare the snake at any time. Let's stop here and don't make any more moves. We know that they are all in the same group."

"Yes."

"And that Qingyu, who is so courageous, dared to hook up with outsiders behind my back, do you think I want to export her at the beauty banquet?"

"Together with her expensive jewelry worth a thousand taels as a gift?"

"Oh, yes, we can't take advantage of her." Gu Yun thumped his head angrily, "I thought she was smart at the beginning, but how could she be such an idiot?"

"Because Lanzhu stirred up the deepest desire in her heart, there are only beauties at the beauty banquet, and my aunt will not go."

Gu Yun licked his lips, speechless.
