delicious little cook

Chapter 563

After Gu Yun washed his hands and changed his clothes, he asked someone to pass Bai Kou to the ear room to talk, and told the maids to make some light noodles at night. He ate too much fried food and had no appetite.

The girls led the order, and Bai Kou came to the ear room after being summoned. The two chatted about Gu Yan's performance during the outing today. Such interesting gossip must be pursued.

The two were chatting, Gu Yun slowly fell asleep, Bai Kou hurriedly took out a blanket to help him take a nap, but Gu Yun refused to let her go, and asked her to sit beside him.

Bai Kou had no choice but to take a story book from the low cabinet, and sat beside her while reading it.

At the same time, the third lady also asked Gu Yan to come to her room to inquire about the details of today's outing, mainly about the three men she took a fancy to.

Gu Yan lowered her head shyly, looked at the girl standing in the room, and shyly refused to speak.

The third lady chuckled and waved her hands to tell the girls to go down, and the two of them closed the door to talk heartfelt words.

"Looking at you like this, do you really have a fancy for someone? Come on, let your parents decide for you."

"It's that Gong Bangyan." Gu Yan lowered her head, her chin almost touched her chest, her face slowly turned red.

"Yo!" The third lady was delighted when she saw it in her eyes, "Did you really like him? He is the second son of the general Fuguo, and he will be the general of Fengguo when he is appointed in the future. As long as you give birth to the eldest son, take this If the title of General Fengguo is passed on, you are meritorious, even if a concubine enters the family, it is useless, the title of the clan has been passed on for five generations, until General Fengguo, as long as he is promising in the future, you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life."

"Mother, look at what you said, I don't know what they mean yet."

"Hey, what do you think he means to you?"

"My daughter doesn't know~~~"

"Then what do you think is good about him?"

"He, he looks good."

"Huh? Just because he looks good?"

"Among the three, I like his appearance, he looks pleasing to the eye."

"It doesn't matter if it's pleasing to the eye, you have to pick one that you're comfortable with. Is there anything else?"

"Also... he... looks good..." Gu Yan held her face in her hands shyly.

"What? What did you see?"

"They boys played polo, shirtless, we all saw it."

"Hey?! How come?!"

"Oh, mother, they were sweating after playing the ball. They were tidying up in the grove, but somehow they started playing around again and ran out chasing each other. All of them were shirtless, not only We girls saw it, a whole bunch of people who were there saw it."

"Hey, you have good eyesight! So you think Gong Kuniyan is the best?"

"Well, he's the best."

"Okay, since you are interested, mother will write to your father tomorrow. If he nods, we will settle the marriage. You will feel at ease when you marry your mother."

"Mother, my daughter wants to stay with you for two more years, and doesn't want to get married."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You grew up by my side, and I regard you as my own child. What I worry about most is the marriage between Jing Er and you. Stop talking nonsense."

"Mother, my daughter knows that you love me, but my birth mother is no longer here. If I remarry, there will be no one around my mother who can talk to me. I feel sorry for my mother being alone."

"It's because your birth mother is gone that she wants to marry you properly. You know, your mother and I grew up together with sisters. She died of illness when she was three or four years old, and she couldn't see you as an adult now. If she hadn't vacated the seat, how could that rich aunt be in charge. You will know when you become a family, but Be optimistic about the vacancy next to the man, and pick two capable ones to occupy the seat first. In the future, they can also be your helpers in housekeeping, so that the man will not bring women back from outside and trouble you all day long. You can say a few more words. You are jealous."

"Yes, mother, my daughter must keep it in mind. With the lessons learned from my rich aunt, my daughter will not be careless, but the background investigation said that Gong Bangyan has two favored companions, who were brought up by the girl who served him since childhood." Yes, if he wants to promote Tongfang to be an aunt after marriage, what should my daughter do?"

"Take a step back, and only let him mention one. You pick one from the dowry girls, and each of them occupies a seat. As for which room the man wants to let come up, let those two rooms fight and fight with you, the newcomer. What does Madam have anything to do with it? If they want to quarrel, they will quarrel in front of men, you just hold on to this one condition, don't let go of the rest, and let them quarrel."

"Thank you mother for pointing."

"You are my most well-behaved daughter, and my mother has put the most effort into cultivating you. You have a good life, and my mother has a good face in front of the second room. When we had troubles in our family, the second room often saw jokes. Now your sister's In terms of marriage, you are determined to marry the clan to be your wife, your fifth younger sister has not been found yet, they are determined to marry high, let's see who she can marry in the end."

"Brother is young and promising, and it is reasonable for sister Chan'er to want to marry high. Let them choose slowly. Let's not talk too much."

"You're good, you're right, we don't care about them." The third lady lovingly touched Gu Yan's face, "You are tired after playing all day, go back and rest for a while, and come to say hello later in the evening."

"Yes, mother, my daughter will leave and come back later."

Gu Yan went back to her room to rest. Her girl had already told others about the interesting details of today's outing, and then spread the word through other people's mouths. Later, the servants of the second room heard some anecdotes , passed to the second lady's ears layer by layer.

I don't know how much oil and vinegar was added to deform and deform the processing. Anyway, the second lady was unhappy in her heart and ridiculed Gu Chan for her lack of virtue. She didn't even know how to dodge when she saw a shirtless man. What's the point of such a virtue? He was qualified to marry a son of the clan, and he called his son to him and taught him a lesson, telling Gu Xu to choose his friends carefully and not to go astray.

Although Gu Xu didn't cause his mother's point of view, he couldn't talk back to his mother, he could only resign after his mother said what he should do below, and made her happy again.

The second lady felt relieved, and called her little daughter into the room to talk to her again, telling her to be a girl with a dignified behavior, and not to discredit her face by acting out of virtue like Gu Yan, If Gu Yan can marry like this, it means that the man she married is not a good person.

"Mother only has two daughters, your sisters. Although there is no distinction between the father and the son and the concubine, each of them has 1 taels of silver for marriage, when your marriage is settled, mother will definitely make up for you, just like when you married your sister. .”

"Mother, you should keep some of your money. My brother has no private property, so he just relies on the salary of a concubine. Now that my sister-in-law is pregnant again, it is time to spend money. Mother, you should keep the money for yourself. I With the money from my father-in-law and my grandmother, it’s enough to buy a dowry, and it won’t be too bad.”

"If you can marry at a high price, the dowry of 1 taels will not be enough. Not much else to say, let's talk about the sisters in the long room. The eldest sister Gu Xian married the son of the uncle's family, and the second sister Gu Jie married the son of the uncle's family. The eldest grandson of the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, these two young men were born as nobles, and they each took away tens of thousands of taels of silver in their dowry. The public only said that they would give each of the two sisters 1 taels of silver, and the rest The makeup was added by the eldest lady herself, so you brothers and sisters will get the same amount of money as the two sisters. Hmph, who doesn’t know that the eldest room is in charge of the public account, and the public’s statement at the beginning is only true or false. They know it themselves, but if they have something to say, your uncle has indeed done a lot herself. Her family background is so rich that my mother can't compare, but when your sisters are married, my mother will definitely give you the best within her ability. A bowl of water is level, so you two sisters will not be wronged."

"Mother, let's not compare with the eldest family. Their family has a great career. We just close the door and live our own lives. I don't care how much dowry I have. Anyway, my brother is a lucky man. I can't marry Da Jiuqing." Children and grandchildren will definitely be able to marry Xiao Jiuqing."

"Gu Jie married the grandson of the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, one of the Great Nine Ministers. You have six other books. Your elder brother has already checked it. They don't have any suitable young people under their knees. Looking at it now, You can only find it in the scope of Xiao Jiuqing, or choose a clan for you? The sister of a concubine, it is enough to marry a prince and become a princess in the future, but it is a pity that the birth mother of the young prince under the saint's knee is a concubine , the concubines are too old to have children, alas, what kind of good sons can a low-ranking concubine raise, marrying a prince will not work."

"Mother, let's not pick the clan. The big Jiuqing is not suitable, just look for it in the range of the little Jiuqing."

"That won't work. It seems that Gu Yan is married to the clan. She will be the wife as soon as she gets married. You have to give her a big gift when you sisters meet in the future. You are a prostitute daughter and she is a concubine daughter. You don't care. Mother can't swallow it." This tone will make people laugh in the future, you don't think about yourself, you also think about your father and your brother, they are in the officialdom now, and their face is very important."

"Mother, don't worry, it's because I didn't think well."

"Mother didn't mean to blame you, but she was worried about your marriage, and nothing went according to her wishes."

"Mother, don't worry, this matter can't be rushed, anyway, Gu Yan is getting married before me, so what if she is married to a son of the clan, who knows if that man is a good husband."

"Oh, come to think of it, they went out for an outing in the city today, tsk tsk tsk tsk, a group of men and women are really immoral, a group of boys are actually shirtless in front of girls, let them see everything, and the girls don't dodge or hide. It's really shameless to relish it, each of them looks like a lady of the family, and there is a little princess born to the princess among them, isn't this spoiling the children!"

"I heard that it was because the boys were sweating from playing polo earlier, and they didn't run in front of the girls shirtless on purpose. They chased and frolicked by themselves, and they lost their minds all of a sudden."

"They went for an outing and didn't invite you. Now what can you say for them? Gu Yun is also shirtless, tsk tsk tsk, fortunately he is still a prince, not only loses his own face, but also the face of his long-term wife. It's gone."

"No, I didn't say good things for them. I just reminded my mother that I will have dinner with my grandmother later, so don't mention this matter at the dinner table, so as to save everyone's face."

"Okay, listen to you, I don't bother to say such nonsense, so as not to dirty my mouth."

"It's getting late, mother, it's almost time to pass, shall I help you change your clothes?"

"Okay."

The second lady stood up with a smile, and Gu Chan stretched out her hand to help her walk to the bedroom together, and sat down in front of the dressing table.
