delicious little cook

Chapter 64

Gu Yun put away the folding fan with a swipe, and knocked on the edge of the table a few times.

"You are the children of generations. You have been used to this kind of life since you were young. If no one advises you, you will never think of this way of begging for good. Go and call Bai Kou in. Only she can come up with this idea." !"

"Master, please forgive me, it's none of Bai Kou's business! The servant girls came up with this idea!" The two sisters really panicked.

"Either you go and call her in, or I'll go and find her." Gu Yun didn't believe the lame lies of the girls at all.

The two sisters lost track of each other for a while, but in the end Meihuan bravely stood up and rushed out for the sake of her sister's lifelong happiness.

Bai Kou was cooking supper in the small kitchen, when she saw Mei Huan running in in a panic, she whimpered, "Bai Kou!"

The other girls in the kitchen were inexplicably surprised, and their hearts were suspended.

"Ah uh..."

Seeing Meihuan's distressed appearance, Bai Kou felt uneasy.

Fortunately, supper is still soup-like food. Bai Kou handed over the fire to Aunt Su to take care of her. She took off her skirt and was dragged to the main room by Mei Huan before she could wash her hands.

In the study, Meilun was still kneeling, Gu Yun was holding a teacup, and when she saw someone came back, she glared at Bai Kou angrily, so scared that she stopped and did not dare to move forward, but Meihuan returned to her sister in a hurry Kneel with her.

"Third young master, what are your orders for finding a maid?" Bai Kou tried hard to force out a professional smile.

"Bai Kou, have you taken the medicine that the lady gave you? How is the wound?"

"Third Young Master Xie is concerned, the wound is fine, the medicine given by the eldest lady is very effective, and the toxicity is slowly receding."

Bai Kou spread out the palm of his hand to show Gu Yun, the several pricked wounds were slightly swollen, in fact they were still a little numb, but fortunately the tactile sensation of the fingers was not affected, otherwise today's meal would not be so easy to handle.

"Well, the Qing Lei who hurt you has been dealt with, and this matter is over, don't mention it again."

"Yes, Third Young Master Xie told me."

"Today's toothpick beef, the old man likes it very much, it is good with dinner and wine."

"Thank you, my lord."

"The old lady likes the fake meat dishes you made today, and I want you to make a menu and have a look at them. Has the girl told you about this?"

"Tell me, thank the old lady, thank the third young master for your concern, the servant girl is planning the menu in the past few days."

This morning, Xiaoqian and the others went to Jichengtang to deliver the sweet and sour pork ribs to try. It has been a long time since they came back. It was because the eldest lady was in Rongentang at the time, and the girls had to go to the old lady. It took quite a while, so when they came back with the feedback, Bai Kou had already gone to the East Kitchen, and Xiaoqian finally told her when she started making dim sum in the afternoon.

"I didn't expect you to do a lot of things this day. It can be seen that your mind is very active."

"Third Young Master, please speak up if you have something to say, the servant girl is dull."

"Don't be humble, you are not stupid at all, you can give me these two girls good ideas, I really underestimate you."

Bai Kou's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the two sisters who were kneeling there and not daring to move, she wondered if she had to go kneeling too, so she moved her legs involuntarily.

"You stand still for me!"

With a wave of Gu Yun's fan, Bai Kou immediately changed into a standing posture.

"Tell me, what did you think when you gave them this idea? Don't make it up!"

"Third young master, the servant girl really didn't think too much about it at the time. Sister Meilun didn't want to have children in the next generation, and she couldn't be a housewife. If she didn't get married at her age, the servants in the mansion would make fun of her every day, especially The servants tell nasty jokes and don't know how ugly it is. The only way to survive is to regain freedom and marry free people outside. You can't force yourself to smile at those crooked melons. To be honest, the one who serves the deceased grandson If the big girl lets Liang go out to marry someone, she will definitely marry a suitable husband, and it will save her from marrying close relatives in the mansion."

"They are from my courtyard, what good will it do me to let them go out to marry?"

"Third young master, two elder sisters, the following words may not be pleasant to your ears, you just listen to it and forget it later."

"Tell me first, we will judge by ourselves whether it is pleasant to our ears or not."

"Third young master, please forgive me first. Letting the maids go out to marry is the same as the marriage of the ladies in the mansion. Having a good in-law is a good help. As I said before, the big girl who serves the deceased grandson is definitely of high quality Assets are equivalent to the identity of a first-in-law lady. As long as the news is released, there is no fear that the matchmaker will not come to the door. If Sister Meilun marries well, she will naturally think of the kindness of the third young master, and maybe one day she will be used again in the future. For example, her son will also pass the Jinshi examination and become an official in the future?"

Bai Kou's words were full of calculations, but Mei Lun Mei Huan's face turned red when she heard the last sentence. She wanted to agree with the benefits Bai Kou said earlier, but she was afraid that the young master would think that she recognized the last sentence. She was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do. How to react.

"Miwa is 20 years old."

"Third young master, this is the condition for letting him go. I have spent three years of filial piety with the young master. I pity him as he grows older. Thank you for his contributions and let him go. I hope he finds a good son-in-law happy and healthy."

Meilun immediately choked up when she heard this, she clenched her teeth and did not dare to make a sound, Meihuan hugged her sister's shoulders with red eyes, and the two sisters comforted each other with their heads touching each other.

"Third young master, you are a person who wants to take the imperial examination and go to the official career. People in the world say that if a family produces a Jinshi, it means that there is smoke on the ancestral grave. If there are children in the family who have passed the Jinshi for generations, then it is estimated that the chimney is erected on the ancestral grave. Three Young master, if you let the girl go, do you think it's adding a bundle of firewood to the chimney?"

Gu Yun didn't know if he was startled by Bai Kou's unreasonable reasoning. He fell silent for a while, waved his folding fan and didn't know what to say. He caught a glimpse of the sisters still kneeling, and frantically brushed his fingers to get them up. .

"Third young master, soup is being stewed on the stove. If there is nothing else to do, the servant girl will leave first." Seeing the cold scene, Bai Kou was about to run away.

"It's only half of what you said, why did you run away?"

"Third Young Master, have you finished your homework today? The pens on the shelf are all clean."

Gu Yun's face darkened, thinking of his business, he opened the book angrily.

Bai Kou gave a blessing with a slight smile, and quietly retreated.

Mei Lun Meihuan didn't stay behind either, she was a little unsteady after kneeling for so long, and she also supported each other to retreat after saluting.

When Gu Yun looked at the book for the first time, he didn't take a single word into his heart. All he could think about was what Bai Kou said earlier. Letting the big girl out to marry someone is tantamount to making contacts for himself, small contacts that are usually inconspicuous Maybe one day it will come in handy.

Just like Bai Kou, who was confiscated as a family member of a prisoner, was not sent to a kabuki band at a young age, but went to learn how to cook. A child who might have been thrown into hell is brought back to earth.

The world is impermanent, the Duke's Mansion seems to be in a stable position now, who knows if he will be able to successfully conquer the noble in the future, maybe when his father has a grudge against others because of different political opinions, it will be time for his family to ask others to help.

Gu Yun felt that Bai Kou's idea was really worth a try, since it was not harmful to him anyway.
