delicious little cook

Chapter 501

"You're not authentic, you didn't tell me in advance that the music was composed by a woman, and you thought it was your friend, making me look so ugly." Gu Yun bumped Shi Tianmin with his elbow, pretending to be angry.

"If I told you in advance, wouldn't there be no surprises?" Shi Tianmin winked and smiled, "You are too, the dignified son is not at all romantic, and you and your brothers are really boring. Gong Changji is good at this Yes, he didn't take you to play with him?"

"I only became a young adult last year, and then went out of filial piety, and then entered a government school to study hard. Changji wanted to abduct me to play, but I am related to him. If I let my family know that I am interested in this, I will be fine." I'm sorry, last time I took that Qingyu home and was questioned by my mother several times. I'm very happy that I dismissed her for causing trouble, but this second beauty will not be able to enter the door again in the short term. I can't take it anymore."

"You are so old, and the family is still so strict?"

"I'm just a child in the eyes of my parents."

"Pfft, pitiful. Let's go, let's not go to the beauty banquet. I will definitely find you for the first time in the future for such an elegant thing, so as to save you from being scolded when you go home." Shi Tianmin patted his face with sympathy, but also with deep understanding. Gu Yun's shoulder, introducing him to the friends who came to appreciate the elegant music today.

After turning around, everyone sat down. The people who came to play today are all people that Gu Yun is not familiar with. Some of them are not even from the rich and powerful circles. But they all have a love for music, and they all have a certain level. Gu Yun admires Shi Tianmin's wide range of hobbies very much. He has a wide range of friends. Compared with everyone present, Gu Yun feels that he is just here to make up the number.

Every man has a beautiful woman serving wine, if he doesn't like it, just change it, the guests just come to play after spending a lot of money, and the host will naturally treat them thoughtfully.

Ruoyu bowed to everyone gracefully, sat down in front of the piano case, plucked the strings with bare hands, and began to play her newly composed piece. Quiet, except for the sound of the piano, there is no noise at all.

When the coda ended and the aftertaste dissipated, everyone came to their senses and applauded warmly. They toasted Ruoyu together to celebrate the success of this new song.

Afterwards, the atmosphere became more relaxed, because it was Gu Yun's first time here, and under Shi Tianmin's suggestion, Miss Ruoyu played a few more famous old songs of hers, and Gu Yun really heard a few familiar songs from them. Only then did I suddenly realize that the real composer is the person in front of me.

As soon as the topic started to be chatted, Gu Yun was completely involved in it, and had a great time playing it. Using the names of the tunes to drink made him not lose to others at all, and reciting poems on the spot was also easy for him to open his mouth. He has a solid foundation in learning Letting him handle this kind of occasion with ease is much more fun than having fun at a beauty banquet.

Shi Tianmin, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, also saw what Gu Yun really likes and is good at, and felt that it was the right invitation to invite him to listen to Miss Ruoyu's new song today, and decided not to invite him to vulgar places like beauty banquets in the future. Only those who are elegant are worthy of the status of Gu Yun's son.

They played for a whole day, and they didn't finish until halfway through the afternoon. When Gu Yun arrived home, it was already dark, just in time for dinner.

Went to say good night to the elders and came back, Gu Yun still couldn't hide his excitement, told Bai Kou how much fun he had today, Bai Kou coaxed him for a while before he calmed down, took a book and sat aside Review subjects.

Early the next morning, those who should go to school, those who should go to the yamen, Bai Kou went to the street to get back the belts and latches that he had made, and spent the rest of the time discussing the details of the new regulations for the women's tea room with Shuizhen. The maids working in the teahouse are about to get married one after another, so Bai Kou intends to take advantage of Tiaoshuizhen's opportunity to be the steward of the teahouse, and simply replenish her manpower at one go, buying eight new maids, four to wait on Gu Hui, and four for the teahouse. They only lived in the backyard with Bai Rui on weekdays, and their mother and daughter only slept in the main room. There was enough room for four new girls, and they could help Bai Rui with housework if they had nothing to do.

In the afternoon, the palace issued a set of rewards to the ministers and officials who participated in the winter hunting. There was a piece of Bai Kou in the list. There are also palace satin suitable for girls, all of which are rewarded to Bai Kou as a fur-collar cloak.

When Bai Kou heard the reason for the reward, she felt guilty for a while. She was self-aware that she couldn't be called a master of tea art, but the thing was a good thing, and it saved a lot of money.

After Xie En received the reward in front of the eldest lady, Bai Kou took the things back for everyone to admire, then sent them to the sewing room, cut them immediately, made a cloak for herself, and accepted the compliments from everyone in the sewing room.

The news spread to the whole government, those who were willing to be happy for Bai Kou were still happy, and those who should be jealous were still jealous.

Mengmei came to the East Kitchen at this time and borrowed a small kitchen from Manager Zeng Zhu. Second Master Jing wanted to entertain friends, and her small kitchen was too small to make a banquet, so this year when Gu Yun wanted to treat guests at home They are all borrowed from the East Kitchen, and everyone will get used to it after a lot of times. Mengmei can use it when she comes over to say hello.

But Zeng Zhu was not in the big courtyard, so Mengmei went to the small courtyard where Zeng Zhu lived. Although she was promoted to the official manager, she did not move her place of residence. He agreed, and caught up with her in a good mood again, and chatted with Mengmei to gossip.

Since Mengmei was transferred out of the East Kitchen, the relationship with everyone has eased a lot, and everyone is willing to chat with her and exchange fresh gossip to enrich their leisure life.

Mengmei heard from Zeng Zhu that Bai Kou had received the Queen's reward just now, she was so envious that she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, after chatting a few words, she made an excuse to go back to her life, Hastily said goodbye and went out.

The aisle where the stewards lived was always quiet, and the cooks and cooks below would not come to bother her if there was nothing important to do. Mengmei was walking alone, when suddenly an arm came up behind her, and she held it tightly with a strong palm. Her mouth, regardless of her struggle, dragged her into a small courtyard, and slammed the courtyard door, then dragged her all the way into the house, and threw her on the bed.

After Mengmei saw who it was, she jumped off the bed flushed with anger, pointed at the other person's nose and cursed.

"Wen Gushan, why are you crazy!?"

"Why am I crazy? I'm basking in the sun in the yard, and you pass by my door. I just kindly invite you in for a chat and a cup of tea."

Wen Gushan raised his lips with a half-smile, his greedy eyes swept back and forth across Mengmei's face and chest.
