Chapter 521 Here Comes an Uncle

In the evening, Gu Yun and Bai Kou took advantage of the darkness to go out to meet Uncle Li, and heard him talk about today's lawsuit. Bai Rui won the lawsuit as he wished, and Zhou Hongshou and Wang Chen'an will also be punished as they should. Gu Yun gave Uncle Li a large reward , and wish him a happy new year in advance.

On the way back to the house, the two went to visit Bai Rui. She was recalling her original dowry in the house. The hereditary royal chef passed down for several generations still had some family background, so when Bai Rui got married, the family gave her a lot of good fortune. There are so many things that she can't even keep silent, she can only write down exactly what she uses every day, and it's hard to say what's in the bottom of the box.

The verdict said that the Zhou family should double return Bai Rui's dowry, but now that the Bai family has dispersed, if the Zhou family also throw away her dowry list, she would have no proof.

There is no good solution for Bai Kou either. The dowry list usually consists of one original and one copy. The original is taken away with the bride and the copy is kept at her mother’s house. They must be kept properly. Any additions or subtractions in daily life must be done well Record it in detail, because this is the woman's property, and it will be left to the children in the future, but Bairui's situation is special, if the list is really gone, you can only accept it, otherwise, as long as the Zhou family denies that there are valuables, their compensation will be paid immediately. less.

But other than the list, winning the lawsuit is the key point. Although Bai Kou usually doesn't drink alcohol, she made an exception tonight and asked her girl to bring wine. She only drank one cup, while Gu Yun and Bai Rui drank several cups .

After the gossip was over, Gu Yun and Bai Kou came out to say goodbye, and turned from the alley to the street. Bai Kou was already too drunk to drink, but fortunately, the two kept walking hand in hand, and the lantern was in Gu Yun's hand again. Dizzy, he quickly grabbed her waist and led her to walk slowly.

Bai Kou also knew that her current situation was not good, she breathed in the cold wind heavily, hoping to sober up soon.

Hearing that she was breathing heavily, Gu Yun thought she was not feeling well, so he wanted to take her home through the main entrance, but was stopped by Bai Kou. If he went through the main entrance tomorrow morning, the Duke and Madam would know that the eldest son went out last night, and the eldest lady would definitely go out again. If you want to ask Bai Kou to come over and ask questions, at this busy time preparing for the new year, Bai Kou would like to save some trouble.

So the two finally went back to the mansion around the stables, and walked this trip in the cold wind. After entering the mansion, Bai Kou was really sober, and was able to shake off Gu Yun's hand and walk in a straight line.

Back at the Zhongming Courtyard, the two of them washed their hands and changed their clothes, then sat in the warm side room and drank ginger tea while talking. They started digressing from the preparations for the construction of the factory in the next year, and finally turned to the marriage between Gong Changji and Ning Peilan.

The two of them actually went to the imperial hospital to invite an imperial doctor, and checked the related conditions of andrology and gynecology respectively. Miss Ning's family has been well maintained since she was a child, and she can ride horses and play ball. She has a good physique that can give birth. Playing crazy, in fact, the tutor is still very strict, and the physique is also very good, which matches his age. From the perspective of imperial doctors, the two are a suitable pair.

Originally, the parents of the two families were in love with each other, but now with the opinions of the imperial physicians, the marriage is naturally settled, and they are ready to be hired before the end of the year. After getting married in summer, the palace chief will be canonized as the new county king after marriage. Cifu lives elsewhere.

Bai Kou laughed out loud after hearing this, both of them are her acquaintances, and she would be happy for them if they got married, Bai Kou rolled her eyes, and wanted to tell Gu Hui tomorrow that she would write Congratulations to Ning Peilan.

The young masters who are the same age as Gu Yun are all at marriageable age, and the girls are already married or are about to get married. The eldest lady has set a rule for her son to discuss marriage when he is 19 years old, so that the young ladies of the same age will not be married again. No matter how much he likes Gu Shizi, he can only obey his parents' advice and marry another lover. No parent is willing to waste his daughter's youth with Gu Yun. He is not lucky if he can't marry his own daughter.

The eldest lady is not in a hurry, she just wants Gu Yun to study hard in these three years, and when he passes the Jinshi exam, even if he wants to marry a princess, he can still marry him.

The next morning, Bai Kou came back from patrolling the street and was changing clothes in her room when Xiao Ye Zi knocked on the door with an envelope and a name card.

"Officer Bai, it was delivered from the door on the west side. It is said that the guest is your uncle, surnamed Zhang."

Bai Kou was taken aback. After Bai Rui came here in the first half of the year, she asked her uncle Tang Lin to investigate the situation of the rest of the relatives. It was true that the grandfather's family name was Zhang.

Thinking of this, Bai Kou took the things and sent Xiao Yezi out, and then she found Tang Lin's investigation results from the drawer of the cabinet, which contained the current detailed addresses of various relatives' homes.

The address of my grandfather's house is Zhangji Iron Shop, Quzhang Lane, Jiyangfang, and the address of the poster on the name post is also Quzhang Lane, Jiyangfang. His name is Zhang Huasheng, which is indeed my uncle's name.

Seeing that the names and addresses matched, Bai Kou opened the envelope and took out a neatly folded piece of red paper from the inside. The title on the face read the dowry of Bai Rui, the eldest granddaughter of Bai Yehong, the chief cook, and Bai Rui, the eldest daughter of Bai Xiaoshan. List copy two.

Bai Kou was dumbfounded, her hands holding the paper trembled slightly.

Bai Rui's dowry list actually has a copy [-]! ?
And it was properly collected by the grandfather's house! ?
This case was really well done!God helps and Earth helps, and people can naturally help!
Bai Kou remembered that her cheap uncle was still outside the door on the west side. She quickly stuffed the list back into the envelope, changed back into the clothes she went out, put on the cape, took the name card and the envelope, and said hello to the girls. He hurriedly went outside again.

Outside the door on the west side, there is a blue-covered carriage parked, but it is not rough at all. It is carefully crafted, using high-quality hardwood, and the axles are covered with iron. It looks ordinary, but in fact it has a solid skeleton, showing high-quality craftsmanship. But no one was in the car.

The servant at the door said hello to Bai Kou, and showed her the carriage, and then the curtains of the carriage moved a few times, and a man in his 50s and [-]s, wearing a padded robe, got out of it, got off the station neatly, his hair was combed neatly , with green stubble on his chin, he is tall and strong, and his hands can be seen as the hands of a craftsman.

Bai Kou didn't recognize her at all, except that Bai Kou was still young when the Bai family had an accident, and he didn't have 100% inherited all the memories when the shell was replaced with the inner core. Bai Kou looked at her and felt that she should be called uncle, but Suddenly my throat became dry and I couldn't make a sound.

The man immediately recognized that the little girl in front of him was his youngest niece Bai Kou. Her eyebrows and eyes were the characteristics of her Bai family, but her mouth and chin were like those of his Zhang family, and his own children also had such characteristics.

"Ku'er, I'm your uncle, Zhang Huasheng, do you still remember me?" The man smiled honestly, with genuine joy in his eyes.

"Uncle..." Bai Kou choked out a sob, walked closer, sniffed, and regained his emotions, "Uncle, let's go, I'll take you to see my sister, we'll talk later if we have something to say."

"Okay, come on, get in the car."

Zhang Huasheng put down the folding footstool under the car floor, and helped Bai Kou into the carriage. He sat outside and drove off under Bai Kou's command.
