delicious little cook

Chapter 708
At the same time, Gu Yun went to invite the palace chief and his wife to eat Poon Choi together in the evening. By the way, they discussed the matter of taking advantage of the Chinese New Year holidays, and the shareholders of the cooperative farm had a meeting. Even the female shareholders were invited. Pei Lan entertained them, but considering the special situation of Gu Xu and his wife, this matter was only said to be an ordinary gathering, and nothing else was mentioned.

For the first time, Gong Changji knew that Gu Xu's wife, Gan, was one of the two female shareholders recorded in black and white. It's hard not to think too much about it.

Gu Yun also looked helpless, and patted Gong Changji on the shoulder. Gong Changji replied with a look of "every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite" to express his understanding. The two continued to discuss the date of shareholders' meeting, discussing and discussing. In the end, on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, they were invited to Chengjun Palace to play for a day in the name of the festival. After eating and drinking, they went to the street to watch lanterns in the evening.

After the matter was settled, Gu Yun went back to the mansion first, and Gong Zhangji and his wife tidied up a bit, and they will go there later.

In the evening, the palace chief and his wife arrived on time, and they still held a banquet in the Rong En Hall. The men ate in the main hall, and the female relatives ate in the retreat hall. It was time for Ning Peilan to show her pregnancy. Together, the two young daughters-in-law chatted happily about pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The Poon Choi, which had been carefully prepared for a whole day, was praised as soon as it was served on the table. Only Mrs. Gu did not dare to put down her chopsticks when she saw the abalone wings on the surface. Ever since she got a rash all over her body that night, she has been taboo about seafood, because she doesn't know what kind of seafood makes her feel unwell, and she doesn't even dare to touch seafood that was fine in the past.

Bai Kou knew Madam Gu's taboo, so besides Poon Choi, she also prepared other dishes, including hot, cold, and soup, and after others finished eating the seafood on the top layer of Poon Choi, the chicken, duck, fish and vegetables in the middle and bottom she You can give it a try, even so, Mrs. Gu still dare not, she thinks that the seafood soup will seep into the dishes below, so she just eats other dishes without squinting, by the way What's so delicious about this seafood.

During the whole family banquet, except for Mrs. Gu, everyone else ate very satisfactorily. The old matriarch was so happy that she gave Dong Kitchen a reward.

On the eighth day of the next day, Bai Kou went to the factory early in the morning, Gu Yun went out to participate in the social reception with the business partners, Mr. Gu and his wife also went out to visit relatives, at this time the palace angel came to Duke Ye's mansion to convey the saint's message Orally ordered Gu Yun to make a sample of a full-length mirror before the end of the month and send it to the palace by Bai Kou.

Fortunately, Gu Chen was still at home in the long room, he took the order on behalf of his elder brother, expressing that he would definitely convey it.

The angel came to tell such a big thing, and everyone knew it soon. Mrs. Gu went to the eldest daughter-in-law's room in person, pretending to be visiting her granddaughter, and after teasing the child for a while, she sent the nurse away, and turned her head to talk about things. The expression on his face persuaded his daughter-in-law to seize the opportunity to cooperate with Gu Yun in business. The business of the factory is now growing, and there are too many various partners to count. Except for Gongzhong and Da Furen, the rest of the family members have no chance to participate in making a fortune. It's a pity up.

Grandma Xu knew about the quarrel between her father-in-law and her family of four the day before yesterday, and heard the gossip that was quietly circulating among the servants. The mother-in-law was not only jealous of the third uncle's wealth, but also said that her daughter-in-law didn't use money to increase the family's property, and she felt deeply. She was in a panic at first, but now seeing her mother-in-law coming over and still talking about this matter, Gan was a little unhappy.

Originally, when the mother-in-law intervened in their small family after giving birth to their daughter, there was already a turmoil at that time, which made life unharmonious. The Gan family had alienated her mother-in-law. Now when it comes to business matters, she Impatient to listen, I feel as if my in-laws are thinking about my dowry.

"I've written down the business matters. I'll ask Bai Kou to come over for a chat when I have time. Granny Lao reminded me."

"Talk to Bai Kou? Bai Kou is the only one who runs errands for Gu Yun. How much business does she know?"

"What my mother-in-law said is that since I want to pay for the cooperation, I should naturally discuss with the owner, but the third uncle is often not at home during the day, so I can only talk to him at night. Fortunately, we are all a family, but I hope it will not hinder him. Prepare for the exam." Grandma Xu had a docile face, like a good daughter-in-law who is submissive.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could you come forward to discuss business? Naturally, I asked Gu Xu to talk to Gu Yun."

"My mother-in-law taught me that I will tell my husband when he comes back."

"That's right, you have to act fast. Once Gu Yun's big mirror is out, I don't know how many more partners will come. We can't let outsiders take the lead."

"Yes, I understand."

"It's good to understand, that's enough, you can rest, I'm going back."

"Daughter-in-law sends mother-in-law a respectful gift."

Gan shi respectfully sent Mrs. Gu out of the house, and then sent someone to escort her out of the small courtyard. She went back to the bedroom to rest by herself, sat down on the table and thought about what to do next.

"Miss, what should we do now? Is our lady eyeing your property? Do you want to change your name?" Gan's most loyal maids came in with tea.

"I'm not worried about this. Uncle San and Bai Kou are not such people. They will protect my property."

"Huh? Will it?"

"You forgot? The land deed of the farm and the various contracts behind it are all in my name, and the shareholders and owners are the ones who pay the money. This is their principle, and they will not break it easily."

"That's right, the maidservants have forgotten about this."

"What is the lady worried about?"

"I don't have any property in my dowry that I can cooperate with my third uncle, and all the cash has been invested in the farm. I don't have much cash in hand to start a new business. If the cooperation fails, my mother-in-law will be angry again."

"Then what should we do? Now the richest person in our second room is you, miss. I heard that Madam's own dowry has almost been lost for so many years. She is not good at doing business at all. The wind is like rain, and all the capable shopkeepers are Being poached by a competitor, giving the dowry to the aunt is already trying her best. This is the result of a part of the subsidy from the public and the old lady. Now she wants to marry her youngest daughter, and she is worried about where the dowry will come from. .”

"Let her worry, I'm just a sister-in-law, do you want me to contribute a lot to my sister-in-law's dowry?"

"If our little aunt is really married, Madam must have a reason to ask you to pay, at least for the future of my uncle, to add makeup to make my aunt happy."

"It depends on whether she can get married or not. Last year, the King Cheng who was at the opposite door introduced such a good candidate. The grandson of the county king. Who would have thought that Gu Chan would not be able to support herself? She fell in love with the man, and the man did not." It was a waste of King Cheng's hard work to see her."

"I hope we can hold another happy event this year, but I don't know if Mr. Xiaoliang is really reliable."

"That's right, Princess Yu's younger brother is known as a romantic and talented man, thank God he doesn't mess with the mandarin ducks."

Gan's eyes turned to the window of the bedroom, and he was in a daze. Princess Yu's younger brother took the initiative to meddle in Gu Chan's marriage, which is a bit disturbing.

(Author's note: I actually completely mistyped Gu Xu's wife's last name, and it has been changed.)
