delicious little cook

Chapter 68
After dinner, the two brothers had a full stomach, and went to say good night to the elders as usual. After the grandson came home yesterday, he didn’t have dinner with the old lady for two consecutive nights. The old grandmother hugged the sixth young master’s beloved call.

After coming out from his grandmother, Gu Yun sent his younger brother back to Jicheng Hall by the way, and then went back to Wenling Courtyard. He called the four first- and second-class maids, Xiaoqian and Xiaojing, into the main room, and announced his release to them. A good marriage decision.

These four girls are of the right age, and they have spent another three years of filial piety together, so they are all counted together. As for the four third-class girls behind, the oldest one is not as old as Ji, and it will take three or four years for them to marry. Woolen cloth.

Ever since Bai Kou had spoken to the third young master, Meilun Meihuan had been holding on to her heart, not knowing what her masters would think. On the ground, she hugged her head and cried together with her sister who hurried over to help her.

Xiaoqian and Xiaojing were the real surprises. They didn't hear anything about it. When they first heard that the young master let them go out to get married, they didn't realize it for a while. Only then finally let out a scream of surprise and wept with joy.

The main room was a bit messy for a while, Gu Yun actually couldn't understand and experience the girls' joy very well, but seeing that they were so happy that they forgot to thank En, he felt that this decision should be very good for them.

Bai Kou came in with a tea set, seeing how lively the hall was, she patted Meilun's shoulder lightly, then went to the table to put down the tea.

After being reminded by Bai Kou, Meilun came to her senses, and then went to call the four of them to thank the young master together.

"Mei Lun's age can't be delayed any longer. She must get married this year, otherwise I will have to complain about this young master." When Gu Yun waved his fan, Bai Kou didn't dare to back down, and silently stood by his side holding the tray.

Meilun even said she didn't dare, but her face was flushed, and she twisted her fingers shyly. The other three saw her pursed their lips and snickered.

"Meilun will marry first this year, and I will definitely find you a good family. Meihuan and the three of you will marry again next year. At that time, Xiaoqian and Xiaojing will also be released as first-class girls. The third-class girls below, try first." Then I raised them to the second class, and took the hands of Xiaoqian and Xiaojing. They have served me for several years, and I couldn't bear to see them as third-class girls until they got married. See if they are a good material themselves."

The girls even claimed that they were, and they were all overjoyed.

"After the four of you old people leave the mansion next year, even if the third-class girls can raise two to the second-class, the first-class girls will still be vacant, and the madam will make up for it. I can't work here, I don't want any newcomers, I still have to go back to those who make me dissatisfied."

"Master, if the four of us have left the house, what should you do if you haven't chosen a first-class girl you are satisfied with? You can't have someone to help you take care of your personal things." Gu Yun said that, so beautiful and beautiful. Worry up.

"I've discussed it with my wife. Before the girls in my yard are replenished, I need a temporary female steward to lead all the affairs, just like Mama Pang."

The four girls breathed a sigh of relief and immediately felt relieved.

"Yes, it's a good way to forget about Madam in a moment of urgency, and to send an experienced old mother to take care of things temporarily."

"When did I say I wanted an old mother to be in charge?"

Gu Yun glared at the girls talking nonsense, took off the lid of the teacup with one hand, grabbed the teacup to take a few sips of tea, and at the same time put the teacup back on the table, with the other hand, he took a folding fan and tapped on the teacup. On Bai Kou's arm.

"There are old people ready, why do I need a new old mother, who can know my living habits?"

"Bai Kou!?"

The beautiful Xiaoqian and Xiaojing were stunned, and Bai Kou even panicked for a moment, but she had an unbelievable expression on her face. She stared at the third young master with wide eyes, unable to believe that what he said was true .

"Third Young Master, are you kidding me? The maid's age is at best a third-class girl, there is no such thing as leapfrog!"

"Madam agrees."

"How could Madam agree?" Bai Kou pinched his face, not dreaming.

"None of these girls, including Aunt Su, can match your ability to read and write. As I said earlier, she must be a character like Mama Pang. Mama Pang was originally the daughter of a scholar's family. She doesn’t have to work on education, her family is poor, her mother died of illness and she had to sell herself as a maidservant to pay for her burial, and her grandmother cared about her background so she carefully cultivated her and let her dowry to be the mother in charge here.”

"The young master is thoughtful. Bai Kou is capable. It's a pity to be a girl and a cook. If you follow the path of Pang's mother, you may become the housekeeper of the house in the future." The four girls sincerely felt for Bai Kou Happy.

"Did you hear what they said? If you don't want to stay in the kitchen for the rest of your life, seize the opportunity to behave well. It's decent to be like Mama Pang."

"But, third young master, what is the manager going to do? How much power does he have?"

"In Wenling Courtyard, under me, you are the biggest, you have the final say on everything, and you will deal with the girls who do wrong."

Seeing that Bai Kou seemed to be still in a daze, Meilun interjected with a smile.

"Bai Kou, don't be nervous. The most important thing in a manager's job is to close the money account. You can tell the girls to do the rest."

"Okay, let's go down and talk about the details. I should go to read a book. Let you relax today. Let's go ahead and make trouble."

"Thank you, Master!"

The girls bowed happily and left. Xiaoqian and Xiaojing took Bai Kou to take a step ahead, while Meilunmeihuan waited for the young master to sit down in the study, set candlesticks on the desk and put tea before leaving.

When the two of them came to the front yard, the place was already bustling with activity. Bai Kou lit a tea stove, and was calling for everyone to put the leftover dried beans from dinner on long bamboo sticks, put them on the tea stove, and eat them right away. It is not only a celebration of the good news, but also a supper for everyone.

Everyone is congratulating each other, Bai Kou's appointment is the most amazing, but everyone in Wenling courtyard is convinced, if next year the new first-class girl will be bossed around in the courtyard, they will not be reconciled.

Smelling the aroma of roasted tofu, Mei Lun, who was no longer psychologically burdened, told everyone about the cause and process of Fang Liang. After everyone learned the whole process, they felt sorry for Mei Lun and thanked him. I am even more in admiration for Bai Kou. She was able to persuade the young master and his wife to agree to release Liang. This is a rare thing. The last time he released Liang was when the old Duke was seriously ill. The old man goes out.

Being thanked so much by everyone, Bai Kou felt a little embarrassed, thinking that his contribution was not so great, but just hit a point, that is, the reason why the third young master was able to catch up with this year's Qiu Wei after his filial piety, and to accumulate virtue for fame The most tenable.
