delicious little cook

Chapter 625 There is no good place to talk about secrets
When Gu Yun returned home, he was not very happy when he heard what Bai Kou said. Instead, he had a strange expression on his face.

"Is there only one ointment for that ointment?"

"Yes."

"That's good."

"I won't let you know if there are any redundant ones."

"Hey!"

Bai Kou chuckled, and stuffed an invitation into Gu Yun's hand.

"Prince Yan's mansion sent someone to deliver it. Concubine Cheng is celebrating her birthday, and Prince Cheng invited you to have a drink. The gift has already been ordered, and people will buy it in a few days."

Gu Yun glanced at the date on the invitation and nodded.

"Okay, write back tomorrow and I'll go."

"Yes."

Cheng County Princess Ning Peilan's first birthday after her marriage was naturally very lively. Ning Peilan invited her little sisters, and Gong Changji also invited her buddies. The couple will officially move to Tianshuifang to be neighbors with Gu Yun, and they will also invite relatives and friends to the house warming banquet for the new house.

Gu Yun brought the congratulatory gift prepared by Bai Kou to the Prince Yan's Mansion at the appointed time. First, he met with the old prince and the old concubine. Finally, he was led by his servants to a small garden with a pleasant view in the palace. The birthday banquet was held at After arriving here, there are rockeries and buildings around, and a small pond with koi.

At this time, there were already many guests, the palace chief continued to greet the male guests in the garden, and the female guests were led up to the building to chat with the princess.

Gu Yun first went up to the second floor to pay homage to the birthday star. There were seven or eight women sitting in the room, both married and unmarried. There was also a room full of maids and maids standing in the corner. Gu Yun scanned the audience, there were strangers and familiar faces, I also saw Tong Mingli sitting in front of the window watching the scenery.

Everyone knows that Tong Mingli and Ning Peilan are good sisters. It is normal for her to come to the sisters' birthday party. Besides, it is always a good thing that she is willing to go out. They greeted each other in a circle, the etiquette was thoughtful, making people comfortable and cozy.

Seeing Gu Yun coming, Tong Mingli was agitated, but she sat still dignifiedly. When Gu Yun saluted her, she also returned the salute with a ladylike demeanor, carefully hiding her little girl. Keep it secret and avoid revealing it in front of others.

Gu Yun went downstairs after meeting the female relatives. He chatted and laughed with his brothers and sisters. The female relatives could see them at a glance from upstairs, and five or six of the ten sentences in the conversation were on those men. .

Tong Mingli watched Gu Yun's every move with good eyes. Wherever he went, her eyes followed. Occasionally, she lazily dealt with the chatting of the sisters. It was getting more and more lively, everyone gathered around the window to look at the scenery of the garden below, Gu Yun, who had been attracting so much attention these days, naturally became the focus of everyone's conversation, a group of people chattered about who Gu Yun would marry in the future.

As a military meritorious lord, Ye State Duke's Mansion, which is now taking the imperial examination, belongs to the undoubted first-class family in the circle of power and aristocrats. The second-class family generally refers to the bureaucratic family and scholarly family, plus the clan and royal relatives, forming a mutual relationship. The big circle of intermarriage, Gu Yun's family background and his personal conditions are all qualified to marry a clan daughter. Tong Mingli listened to the comments of the noble ladies and ladies in her ears, and became more and more sad, but her face was very good. Maintaining an indifferent expression, she would never allow anyone to see her thoughts.

As the birthday star, Ning Peilan warmly entertained every guest. When she walked up to Tong Mingli with a plate of exquisite snacks and wanted to greet her to eat, she saw Tong Mingli's expression was focused and her eyes were looking out the window as if in a daze. Looking in the direction of her gaze, what she saw was Gu Yun who was standing by the rockery talking to Gong Changji.

Tong Mingli couldn't be peeking at her husband, it could only be Gu Yun.

Ning Peilan sighed inwardly, and did not interrupt Tong Mingli's thoughts. It was her birthday today, and she didn't want to make any surprises, so she turned around to greet other people to eat, and then left the window temporarily after dividing up a plate of small snacks.

As a good friend, Ning Peilan knew about Tong Mingli's little thoughts. At the beginning, many girls of the same age fantasized about marrying Gu Yun. People, Ning Peilan herself is also engaged, and she can't keep busy with her own marriage and business, so she doesn't care who Tong Mingli likes.

Unexpectedly, today, Miss Tong's heart has not changed.

Ning Peilan shook her head, temporarily resting her mind on her discovery, and after the birthday party was over and saw off the guests, she would discuss it with her husband. If Tong Mingli had the heart, Gu Yun had to have the heart.

At the same time, Gu Yun and Gong Changji, who were talking on the edge of the rockery, carefully avoided the crowds coming and going in the garden, and talked while walking on the topic of small talk, and finally disappeared in a blind corner of the rockery. Even Tong Mingli upstairs couldn't see them.

In fact, the two got into the mountainside of the rockery, which can only accommodate children to play in it. Two young people who are about 20 years old standing here are quite crowded, and they can't stretch their hands and feet, so they can only lean on their backs. With the cold mountain.

"This place is really small." Gu Yun carefully found a place for the back of his head so that he wouldn't knock it down, "Have you found something? You're fast enough, and you're still newly married."

"It doesn't take much to find out where the Bai family members are exiled."

"It's not suspicious, is it?"

"No, let's talk about Bai Kou first, then talk about the Bai family, and then bring out the place where they are serving their sentences. I found that I can also make a statement."

"Yes, yes, how capable you are, Prince Cheng. Tell me quickly, where are they serving their sentences?"

"Spring Water Fort."

"What? Spring Water Fort? That's right?"

"I checked correctly, and you heard me right. Spring Water Fort is rich in minerals, but it is also the most famous place where exiles serve their sentences."

"Tch, it's clearly the place with the highest death rate."

"Do you want to stick to your mind?"

"Yes, send someone there. Many miners in Spring Water Fort died, but it doesn't mean that all the Bai family members are dead. Whether they are dead or alive, and what the current situation is, we must find out."

"Okay, I'll send someone out after I finish moving these few days, and try to bring back the results of the investigation before and after the Chinese New Year."

"Thank you."

"Why are you being polite to me, walk away, get out quickly, I can't even straighten my waist."

The two sneaked out of the rockery, and returned to the group as if nothing had happened. The palace chief continued to walk around to greet the male guests to sit down, and the luncheon began at any time.

Tong Mingli, who was in front of the window on the second floor, saw Gu Yun reappear in sight, and her anxious mood eased. She was a little curious about what Gu Yun and Gong Changji had been doing for a while, but when she saw Gu Yun at the wine table, After sitting down, Tong Mingli didn't think about this problem anymore, she just focused on watching Gu Yun talking and laughing happily with others, even if she couldn't hear his voice, just looking at his face was enough.
