Chapter 481 Winter Hunting Changed the Rules
Gu Xu entered his main room and said nothing to his wife, so Gan pretended not to know anything, and took care of her husband to rest step by step.

For a few days, the second room was very quiet. Even Gu Chan and the concubine's mother and brothers knew that the elder brother had an eldest son, but they didn't see any reaction from the elder brother and sister-in-law. As usual, Mrs. Gan went to Rong En Hall to sit for half a day every day to replace the second room. Everyone is filial to the old lady.

Just when everyone in the second room thought that the old lady and the eldest lady were trying to persuade Gan, the news that Gu Xu had just got a concubine's eldest son suddenly spread among the residents in the workshop, and another concubine's son would be born at any time The incident also made the residents in the neighborhood guess whether it was a man or a woman when they had nothing to do.

Bai Kou goes to the workshop to watch the production every day. She and her craftsmen are among the first to hear the gossip. The girls who specialize in packing goods in the rare workshop are all because of Gu Xu's housekeeping. Pregnancy triggered a series of incidents and the innocent were implicated to become what they are now. What happened to them is not a secret in this small circle. After all, when they first came to work in the workshop, their bodies were not fully recovered and their movements were not smooth. Talked about it all by myself.

The midwives who delivered the baby were hired from the street, so you can't count on how reliable their mouths are. The fact that Gu Xu married his concubine and gave birth to a concubine's child will sooner or later spread to the streets, which has long been expected.

In this Tianshuifang, Duke Ye's mansion is the highest-ranking family, but there was a scandal that the eldest grandson had the eldest son first. Obviously everyone still clearly remembers that at the beginning of this month, this Uncle Gu brought his newlywed wife Feng Entered the house in a splendid manner.

This incident happened during the wedding, and the eldest son was used to beat the face of the newlywed wife. The residents in the square were telling jokes about the Gu family for a while, discussing whether the uncle Gu was worried that his wife would not be able to have children, so he got two concubines first. The wife raises it so that it stimulates her motherhood and helps her to conceive.

After listening to these comments, Bai Kou felt that it was not enjoyable enough, implying that the girls under his command had revenge for their grievances, and opened up their imagination to spread Gu Xu's rumors.

So there were even worse gossips on the street, some said that Gu Xu once had a first wife but died, and the current Gan family is actually a second wife, otherwise why would Tong Fang be pregnant before she married in.

But it is not right to say that Gu Xu had a first marriage. During the three years of filial piety, only the coffin of Duke Xian was carried out. There were no other weddings or funerals in the government.

Therefore, the claim that the Gan family is the second wife was quickly overturned, and the neighbors continued to talk about whether Gu Xu favored the two previous concubines and wanted them to be monogamous and concubines. He had no choice but to marry a young lady of the right family, and then use her as a display to let her perform the duties of a concubine mother to raise his concubine children, but he would not share the same room with her to have concubine children.

The first time Bai Kou heard such remarks similar to pampering concubines and destroying wives, she couldn't help but tremble a few times in disgust, she felt sympathy for Gu Xu for ten breaths, and then went back to her business went.

There were all kinds of discussions on the street, and it was impossible for the masters of Duke Ye's mansion to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Gan seized the opportunity to cry in front of the eldest lady, and strongly requested the Duke of Ye to come forward and make decisions.

Now there is only one male elder in the mansion, Grand Duke Guo, and he can only come forward to teach Gu Xu a lesson. The eldest lady is just an aunt, and cannot discipline her grown-up nephew.

Gu Xu knelt in front of his uncle and wrote a letter of guarantee, guaranteeing that the two concubine girls would not enter the genealogy and would not enter the ancestral grave, life and education would be raised by him personally, and they would not take advantage of the public. They only regarded their biological mother as their mother However, the Gan family does not have the responsibility of their aunts.

What Gan wanted was the guarantee from her husband. As for whether his pitiful salary as a concubine was enough to support the two concubine children, she would not ask, so as not to make herself sick again. She believed that her husband's salary would hardly be spent on the concubine's children.

Taking advantage of the long house's sympathy and support for him, Gan suddenly took action to rectify the personnel affairs in his courtyard. Using the excuse of sowing dissension, he quickly replaced all the old servants and replaced them with his own dowry servants, and put his mother-in-law in the house. The forces in his courtyard have been cleaned up.

The old servant of the second room made a fuss all day and begged the eldest wife to take back her life, but it was of no avail, and even asked the eldest room and the third room to watch the fun together.

Gu Xu came back from his duty at the Imperial Academy. Seeing the completely new personnel in the courtyard, he couldn't help recalling the chaos caused by the last time he started to rectify. The cause that was planted at the beginning has now borne fruit. This Ming media is marrying his wife.

The old servants who were expelled waited for Gu Xu for a day, and when they saw him come back, they rushed to his feet and begged him to be the master. Gu Xu was annoyed, and after a few words of coaxing did not work, he turned cold and asked the girl to call in the front yard. The housekeeper, escort these old servants back to their own homes in the back street, and then dismiss them. They want to appeal for grievances and wait until the old lady returns from Pingzhou during the Chinese New Year.

Gan Shi sat in the house and listened to the commotion in the courtyard. She waited until the housekeeper escorted those old servants away, then she stepped out of the room to welcome her husband home, and waited for him to wash his hands and change his clothes.

Since the birth of the eldest son, the second wife, who had caused a turmoil for several days, calmed down again. When the second Tongfang gave birth and gave birth to a son, August was about to end.

Everything went well at the workshop, and the paper soap order has come to an end. As Bai Kou calculated and predicted, she has bought a lot of time. As long as the order of the city defense battalion goes well, she can easily go on the road to winter hunting .

On the last day at the end of August, Gu Yun came back from the government school and brought Bai Kou a few pages of handwritten paper.

"This year's winter hunting new rules, a classmate of mine specially copied it for you to read, the text will not be officially published until a few days later."

"Which classmate of yours is so bold as to steal and copy official documents?" Bai Kou held those pages as if he was holding a firecracker with a ignited fuse.

"Oh, stop talking nonsense, take a look, and tell me what you think."

Bai Kou shook the paper, flattened it in her hands and read it carefully.

The content on the paper is only a part of the excerpt from the full text. It is written about the new rules of the cooks in each prefecture. In the past, cooks only relied on one dish to earn rewards in the arena. Last year, after Bai Kou's roasted whole lamb became popular, the rules were changed this year , A large field is opened in the camp, allowing the cooks to sign up freely, each person has a special big tent, and the staff brings their own tools, and the ingredients and condiments are provided by the camp, just like opening the door for business, and the camp will be received within six days Everyone in the room, whoever receives the most guests will be the final winner, and the rewards will be more generous than ever.
