delicious little cook

Chapter 516
After Bai Kou wandered around the street, he went to the Silver House again to retrieve the three sets of custom-made gold accessories.

The maids under the old matriarch and the great lady are rushing to release Liang to get married in this twelfth lunar month, and the three of Meihuan also happened to handle the documents for releasing Liang together, and then they can go home and wait for the day of marriage. They received the betrothal gifts from the man's family respectively, and the wedding happened to be held almost a month later.

Xiaoqian and Xiaojing naturally got married from home. Meihuan's family had already disbanded under the secret plan of the eldest lady. Meilun and Sun Qing were overjoyed when they got married at home. They hoped that Meihuan would go there soon, and the dowry was arranged for her. From now on, that would be her natal family. As for the biological parents who are far away, they have brothers to take care of them. , will certainly not live worse than their sisters.

Bai Kou came back with a gift for adding makeup. When the girls saw the beautiful box, they felt sad and reluctant. At the same time, they also had a little hope that they would be happy when they reached the marriageable age. get married.

In the evening when Gu Yun arrived home, he sat in the main hall and rewarded Mei Huan's three maids with makeup gifts, and also gave them their good deeds.

At the same time, Zhou Hongshou's house was deserted. Since he returned home and told about Bai Rui's complaint, the house was in chaos. The family members realized that they had been fooled by the stalker, thinking that Bai Rui had escaped, but in fact they had been in Tianshui all along. Fang is waiting for a lawsuit.

After making a fuss all day long, it stopped at night. The three mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat in the corner and cried, cursing Bai Rui as worthy of being a broom star, and it would be no good to get involved with her. , then there is no face.

What's more, in order to find Bai Rui, they showed their faces in Tianshuifang. There are many witnesses who can prove that Bai Rui's accusation is true. If the Zhou family loses the lawsuit, there will be even bigger troubles waiting for them. Can Dali Temple be kept? It's hard to say that there are many errands in the official circles in the capital, and there are few people who give charcoal in a timely manner.

At this time, the servants in the family ran into the main room in panic and reported, "Master, it's not good, it's not good!"

"what happened again?"

"The Marquis Wu of this workshop knocked on the doors of our neighbors from door to door with people, and asked them to testify in court tomorrow, proving that back then... back then..."

"What was it back then?"

"It proves that Bai Rui's mother and daughter were indeed swept out of the house and left the house without taking a penny of dowry." The servant stomped his feet, gritted his teeth, and said ruthlessly, knowing in his heart that his job was a It won't last long.

"What?!" The Zhou family's male and female masters were startled and angry at once, Zhou Hongshou stood up awkwardly, "Who did it? Who is the leader? Bai Rui?"

"It's not Bai Rui, it's the guard of Gu Yun, the eldest son of Lord Ye's mansion, holding cash to seek witnesses, as long as they are willing to testify in court, each person will be paid for transportation, food and lost work, and will be settled on a daily basis. Those who take the money They are all registered and recorded, and a car will be sent tomorrow to pick them up. If someone takes money and refuses to work, he will be charged with fraud."

"Gu Yun?! Lord Ye, Gu Yun'an, I have never had any contact with him. What does he mean by that? Is he conniving at his son's troubles?"

"Grandpa, don't worry about these things for now, what to do outside is the most important thing."

The Zhou family looked at each other, feeling a strong sense of powerlessness in their hearts. They were just the property of seventh-rank officials, and the people sent by Gu Yun outside made it clear that they were here to fight a money war. The crime of Bai Rui's dowry ignoring the life and death of their mother and daughter was confirmed.

The women started crying again, Zhou Hongshou waved them away at the servants, then sat down again dejectedly, facing his two sons with sad faces.

At dawn the next day, before Gu Yun went to school, they knelt down in the main hall to say goodbye for the last time, and after sending him out, they went to Jicheng Hall to kowtow to the eldest lady.

The other maids in Zhongming Court took the luggage of the three of them and sent them out through the side door. The family members of Xiaoqian and Xiaojing were waiting in the alley outside. The big car dealer sent a car to take Meihuan to her sister. Brother-in-law's house.

Last year, Gu Yun said that he would marry these four old girls who had served him for many years. Today, he finally fulfilled his promise. He was filled with a sense of accomplishment, and proudly got off the carriage all the way and walked into the gate of the school.

A group of students in the compound stood outside chatting regardless of the cold weather. When they saw Gu Yun coming, they swarmed up and surrounded him, asking him what happened to yesterday's lawsuit.

The case of people suing officials has always been spread quickly in the capital, not to mention that this case is involved with Ye Guogong's mansion. When they met each other, they all waited outside for Gu Yun.

Gu Yun opened his eyes wide with righteous indignation, "Bai Rui finally reunited with her younger sister, and she has already fulfilled her husband's filial piety. Whether she will remarry in the future is her own business, and Zhou Hongshou's family has the face to make a wrong decision. If you don't come here to find trouble with Bai Rui, then let them be fulfilled."

"Then does Bai Rui have a chance of winning this case? If she wins the case, Zhou Hongshou will be dismissed and investigated."

"If he goes down, won't he be able to get others to come up? There are so many people filling the vacancies, are you afraid that there won't be any new Seventh Grade Critic?" Gu Yun snorted.

Everyone laughed, but any student from an official family can find many qualified people to fill the vacancy just from their family, relatives and disciples. The officialdom in the capital has always been cruel. Gu Yun's words imply that they should seize the opportunity.

"Hey, do you know who Zhou Hongshou wants to marry Bai Rui to?"

"I really don't know, the left and right are just people who can benefit him." Gu Yun pretended to be stupid. It is not appropriate to speak out about Wang Chen'an now. It is best to let Zhou Hongshou confess in court.

"That's right, Bai Kou is standing behind Bai Rui. I guess when this lawsuit is over, the whole capital will know that Bai Kou has a widow sister who is young and in full bloom. When the time comes, the matchmakers who come to ask for marriage will probably have to line up at the gate." went."

"Since Bai Rui is Bai Yehong's eldest granddaughter, she must also have good cooking skills. Whoever marries her will really enjoy themselves."

"I heard from Bai Kou that Bai Rui had a bleak life in those few years. Both mother and daughter were sick all over, and their cooking skills were neglected. They have been taking medicine since they settled down. Until now, I don't know when they will stop. Well, the medical expenses are all paid by Bai Kou, if she didn't have a few bounties saved in her hand, how could she be able to afford such a stream of expenses for her sister and niece." Gu Yun shook his head and sighed.

"Hey, Bai Yehong's family was exiled, and the children who stayed in the capital will suffer."

"What can I do about it? What they did was not a small mistake. If they didn't lose their heads, it would have been the emperor's grace."

"That's exactly what you said, walk around, go into the house, class is about to start, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it after lunch, Gu Yun, don't sneak around."

"Where can I go? But the lawsuit has only just begun. The plaintiff and the defendant just confronted each other in court today. I'll get to know you better tonight, and I'll tell you more about it tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, then it's settled, I will book a room in Qingfeng Building tomorrow at noon, and treat you to dinner."

"That's a deal."
