delicious little cook

Chapter 636 Unscrupulous
In the morning of the next day, Ning Peilan really came to visit Mrs. Gu and brought some homemade snacks for tea. Gu Chan tasted the cooking skills of Princess Cheng and made up her mind to practice her cooking skills. Things are a lesson for others, no matter how anxious you are, you must act cautiously.

After securing Mrs. Gu, Gu Yun and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Gu Chan suddenly got up to practice cooking and find something to do for herself. It's fun, if you learn a few special dishes, maybe you can show your hands in the next winter hunting.

After mid-autumn, the weather turns colder, and the once-a-year winter hunting is just around the corner. With the experience of the previous two times, Bai Kou has become more and more handy this year, and the master of the second room will not participate this year, staying at the mansion to take care of the baby , Gu Xu was also at home with his wife and daughter.

The mother-in-law, Mrs. Gan, was naturally happy to see her son-in-law being so considerate and caring for the family. The second wife had no objections at first, but now that Gu Chan's marriage is not going well, she was afraid that the love of her son-in-law would stimulate her younger daughter, so she demanded it openly and secretly. The son goes out to socialize more, so he should pay attention to a good man for his sister. The family will take care of everything at home, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

When this word reached Grandma Xu's ears, she was inevitably depressed, but she couldn't contradict her mother-in-law, so she had to confide to her mother and sisters-in-law. Mrs. Gan couldn't be more angry. Gu Chan's marriage was delayed by their parents, and they blamed half of it If it's not on the daughter-in-law's head, why should they disturb the life of their young couple and turn a good home into just a place to sleep at night.

Both Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Gan privately thought that Mrs. Gu's face was atrocious, and they would talk about Gu Chan whenever they had a chance, making Mrs. Gu's temples twitch with anger, looking forward to her mother-in-law going back to Pingzhou as soon as possible.

Bai Kou knew about Erfang's inexplicable secret fight, and felt that the second wife really had no cure. If there was a suitable nephew in the Imperial Academy, how could Uncle Xu not be a matchmaker for his sister? He was in the Imperial Academy, in a political situation In the middle, he knows how to choose a future brother-in-law. If he doesn't move, it means that there is really no suitable partner. The second wife can't even think of this, and forces her son to socialize every day just to find a good man. Those who don't know think it's Uncle Xu himself Good masculinity, take the opportunity of socializing to cook wild food for yourself.

Bai Kou had an idea, and thought it was a good idea. The second lady had to settle down. Now Chengjun King is looking for a suitable candidate. Don't let the other camp seize the opportunity to send a good boy first, and enter into his own camp. a nail.

With this in mind, Bai Kou immediately took action, taking advantage of her status, when she was walking around the mansion, she saw servants talking together, so she hid in the dark and changed her voice to spread rumors, claiming that Uncle Xu's family had A newborn baby and a confinement wife, but he doesn't stay at home every day. He would rather find various men outside to socialize than go home to talk to his wife, but he hasn't seen any outstanding achievements in his political achievements. God knows What are you going to do every time you have a party? Could it be that the second wife knows that her son is actually a manly man, and now that she has a wife and a daughter, she no longer sticks to Uncle Xu's hobbies.

As soon as the rumor spread, its lethality was astonishing. It spread throughout the entire mansion and the back streets within half a day. Only the second room knew Uncle Xu's daily schedule and whereabouts, so no one suspected that it was spread by Bai Kou. Rumors should only be new gossip about the second house owner, listen to it with relish, and pass it on with relish.

Grandma Xu didn't believe the rumor when it spread to the second room, but her mother and sisters-in-law believed it, and confronted Mrs. Gu aggressively. The second lady naturally denied it, and the women of the Gan family thought she was trying to quibble, after all It is a fact that Gu Xu socializes outside every day. Sometimes he can come back when the gate is closed, sometimes he stays outside and goes directly to the Hanlin Academy after dawn. The young couple spends very little time together now.

Second Madam Gu felt aggrieved, she felt that she just asked Gu Xu to care more about his younger sister and find a suitable brother-in-law, and when Gu Chan got married, he could take care of his little family as he wanted.

Mrs. Gan couldn't listen to this reason. The marriage of an unmarried child is the responsibility of the parents, and it's not that the parents are dead. Why should Gu Xu sacrifice the happiness of his own small family to worry about his sister.

The two wives were arguing fiercely, Gu Chan cried and begged them to stop arguing, but it was of no avail, and the more they quarreled, the scarier they became, and their respective daughters were involved.

Mrs. Gu emphasized that the daughter-in-law gave birth to a granddaughter and did not need her father's care. If she gave birth to the eldest grandson, she would naturally not let Gu Xu stay at home every day.

Mrs. Gan blushed with anger, and scolded Gu Wan for being married for a year, and she has not been pregnant until now, allowing her to occupy a good husband for nothing, but putting her husband's family in danger of losing their children and grandchildren.

Gu Wan's not being pregnant so far is a pain point in Mrs. Gu's heart that she can't step on. Suddenly, she felt chest tightness, and she tilted her body. The servants screamed and hugged her, and then the curtain was lifted, and Mrs. Gu walked in with a face full of anger. Pang's mother, who followed, persuaded the female relatives of the Gan family to leave the house, and the eldest lady stayed in the room to reprimand her sister-in-law.

Bai Kou knew that the second room was in chaos due to the influence of the rumors, so she slowly finished the housework in Zhongmingyuan and went out to listen to the gossip. It turned out that the second wife said that her daughter does not need her father to take care of her, so she made a plan and spread another rumor.

This time, I specifically aimed at the baby, pointing the finger at Mrs. Gu's suspicion that her daughter-in-law was stealing someone, because when Grandma Xu was pregnant, many people said it must be a boy, but now she is giving birth to a granddaughter. It must be that Uncle Xu's species was changed, but the male species sowed gave birth to a baby girl. It was not stealing or something.

This rumor is even more frightening, and Bai Kou is still playing the oboe alone without showing his face, and he only picks places with a lot of people to talk nonsense. Did the second wife dislike her daughter-in-law for not giving birth to a grandson, so she took advantage of this to make Uncle Xu stay away from home all day long?

The servants of the second room were terrified when they heard the new rumors, and firmly stated that the second wife likes the little granddaughter, and has no dissatisfaction with the daughter-in-law and the baby, and never suspected that the eldest grandma stole people and asked Uncle Xu to stay outside all day The entertainment is really just to find a suitable brother-in-law. Uncle Xu is not manly, and the second wife has no intention of disrupting and interfering with the harmony of his son's small family.

Bai Kou doesn't care how credible the servant's defense is, anyway, the seeds of suspicion have been planted, at least it will make the second room chaotic for a few more days, completely dragging the energy of the second wife, making her unable to pay attention to the news outside , to buy some time for Cheng Wanggong Changji to be a matchmaker.

When the boys who were studying were from ethnology and prefectural school respectively, after hearing this shocking news, they were all shocked and didn't know what to say.

The eldest lady returned to Jicheng hall after teaching her sister-in-law a lesson, so when the second servant told the new rumor to the mistress, the eldest lady didn't know, and the second lady almost vomited blood after hearing it, and was helped back to the bed to rest. Gu Chan waited by the bed with tears in her eyes, and asked someone to go to the street to ask the doctor from Songnan Hall to take a look, and if the situation is not good, then ask the imperial physician.

The chaos in the second room spread to the long room, and the eldest lady also got a headache, took the pills and went to bed, and waited for her husband to go home and let him deal with it.

Gu Yun heard that his mother became ill with anger due to the incident with the second wife, so he hurriedly went to bedside to ask for his health, and stayed with his father until he arrived home.

Elder Master Gu entered the door and heard about it. He put his hips on his hips and gasped for a long time. He asked someone to go to the second room to ask if Gu Xu was home, but he did not come back. After a short rest, the eldest lady still struggled to get up and went to Rong En. Don had dinner with her mother-in-law and acted like everything was normal.

After the evening drum time, the gates of the square were closed and Gu Xu hadn't arrived home yet. Obviously he wasn't coming back tonight, and no one didn't know where he was going to socialize. Master Gu couldn't bear it any longer, and sat in his study cursing A few words.

When Gu Yun said good night to his grandmother, he didn't even dare to mention the matter of the second bedroom. When he mentioned that the second aunt didn't have dinner with her mother-in-law today, he just vaguely expressed that it might be because she was tired from taking care of her granddaughter. I took it.

After resigning from his grandmother, Gu Yun went back to his bedroom to wash his hands and face, then passed Bai Kou to the ear room to talk, and asked her about the messy details of the second room.

Of course, Bai Kou didn't say a word about spreading rumors, she wasn't so frank, but afterward, she said as much as she heard, and didn't hide anything.

"If Da Furen finds out who is so bold as to fabricate rumors to slander Master, he will definitely be beaten to death and thrown into a mass grave." Gu Yun rubbed his face, he also felt a headache.

Bai Kou shrugged, without saying a word, picked up the teacup and put it in Shizi's hand.

Gu Yun drank a few sips of tea, calmed down his emotions, took out the homework assigned by his master from his briefcase, glanced at it hastily, and threw it aside with a painful face, with an expression that he didn't want to read it again.

Bai Kou craned his neck and took a sneak peek. It seemed that they were all topics of policy theory, and they were all written on a piece of paper. I don't know how much time the master gave to finish these homework. Thinking about it would give me nightmares.

In Grandma Xu's room, the atmosphere was also very heavy. After all, the rumors behind it still spread to her ears. The daughter-in-law is the most sensitive to the mother-in-law's dissatisfaction with the statement that she gave birth to a granddaughter. No matter how I think about it, I think it must be because of this The reason is that the mother-in-law used the pretense of asking her husband to care about her sister's marriage. She would rather let her son spend the night outside every now and then without knowing who he would spend the night with than let him enjoy family happiness at home.

As for the theory of stealing people, Grandma Xu and the servants around her know that this is nonsense, but once the rumor spreads, there will be so many people in the mansion discussing it together, and within two days it will become Grandma Xu who really stole. People, I am afraid that even their lovers can be described in a decent way.

Bai Kou knew the power of these two rumors, but she let this kind of development go, as long as the conflict between the second wife and wife was intensified, the second wife could suspend Gu Chan's marriage, and don't let people from Zhao Xianfei's camp take the opportunity to intervene, all the price would be worth it .
