delicious little cook

Chapter 721
"I see, I'll go back and discuss it, see what can be done, and try not to cause trouble to everyone."

"Do what you can. If you really can't hold on, then withdraw decisively, and the loss can be less. Otherwise, after the spring plowing is over, the factory will start to be built, which is another big investment. You want to withdraw at that time. stocks, the losses will be even greater.”

"Okay, I'll try to make a decision as soon as possible. If there's anything I need to tell Bai Kou directly, it won't go through my husband. It's not that I'm trying to destroy his prestige outside. He really can't do anything."

"Grandma Xu wants to find me, just ask someone to tell me, or write a note." Bai Kou finally spoke, with a humble and respectful expression, "If you don't want to be noticed by Mrs. Gu, and the message is easy to misrepresent, you can Pass the message through your dowry cooks, who are illiterate and will not read the contents of the note."

Gan Shi didn't even have time to think about the details of the news, Bai Kou had an idea when he answered the question, and couldn't help but take another deep look at her.

"Bai Kou, you have a quick brain. We always thought that you were asked to run errands for Third Uncle just because he was too busy."

"Grandma Xu, Shizi did think so at the beginning, but it's just that it's been so long, and he has seen so many people and done so many things, so he naturally grew up, squatting at home all day without contact with outsiders , you are easy to be manipulated by others. You are about the same age as Princess Cheng, and there is a difference of one or two years between you. You have to learn from her. The second room needs you to make money now, so you should take the opportunity to hold the financial power in your own hands, and at the same time understand the prices in the market. There is no way to support the two children born in the common room, but how much you pay each month can be completely decided by you alone. Uncle Xu has a soft heart for nostalgia, but two illegitimate children who do not belong to the family tree and ancestral grave I got more money from my biological father than my daughter-in-law. Do you know what will happen if someone uses this as a reason to participate in a book? The term of the second master will end at the end of the year, and the term of Mr. Xu will end next year. This year is their father and son. During the critical period between the two, be careful not to be taken advantage of by others."

Startled, Gan stood up abruptly and looked straight at Bai Kou. Bai Kou looked at her calmly, his face still humble and respectful.

"Grandma Xu has orders to just say, take it easy and don't scare the princess."

Being reminded by this, Gan looked at Ning Peilan apologetically, and sat back awkwardly. Ning Peilan didn't care, and even patted her hand to calm her down.

"Bai Kou, if anyone says that you are just a stand-in to run errands for the third uncle, I will never believe it."

"Grandma Xu, I am indeed just a stand-in for the son outside, and I execute his will. It's just that officials from the household department often come to the factory for a stroll, and I have dealt with them more often. Even the illiterate can understand some things. What do you think? ?”

"Yes, that's right, I wrote down what you just said."

"Grandma Xu, let's just think that what I said next is a warning to you. What I said to you before is only in this room. I will not admit it when I leave the room. If I hear any rumors in the future Gossip, but there is no next reminder."

"I know, don't worry, I won't sell you. After the two children landed, no one knows that you came up with the idea you taught me."

"Thank you Grandma Xu for your compassion."

Bai Kou bowed his head slightly in humility and respect, and when he raised his head again, his eyes turned to the door, and then he stood up.

"Princess, it seems that someone outside has come to deliver a message. It seems that the men in front have left."

"what?"

Ning Peilan and Gan Shi looked at each other in blank dismay, but as soon as Bai Kou's words fell, there was a voice of servants announcing that the scene was over, and Uncle Xu sent someone to invite Grandma Xu to say goodbye.

"Bai Kou has sharp eyes and a sharp mind. I didn't expect her ears to be so sharp." Gan responded, holding the table and standing up with Bai Kou's support.

"She has practiced martial arts for the past few years, so she naturally has sharp eyes and ears." Ning Peilan also got up together, sent Gan Shi out, and said goodbye repeatedly.

A few servants outside the door held up lanterns to help Mrs. Gan go forward, but Bai Kou didn't leave, and the person who came to pass the message only said to invite Grandma Xu, and didn't mention the prince, so Bai Kou thought that he should be ignored, so she and Ning Peilan Back to the room together to drink tea and chat.

"You were really bold before. After all, the Gan family is the eldest mistress of your family. You just said it so bluntly. Are you afraid that she will sell you out if she promises well?"

"I just want to give her a chance to sell me, otherwise, if she still wants to continue to be the eldest granddaughter-in-law of Lord Ye's mansion, she'd better keep her mouth shut and put all the words on herself, and by the way, she can build a wise and virtuous The image of the eldest young mistress is only good for her, and she shouldn't be like her husband, who sold me out once, causing me to be attacked by their second house servant, and this time because of business matters, he sold the eldest son, who was still his cousin Well, it made the second room complain to the long room in private."

"Huh, this is really terrible. Fortunately, the third room in your house is okay. I haven't heard of any disturbance."

"Second Master Jing has a good relationship with our eldest son, and the conflict between the masters of the third house is just an internal conflict between husband and wife and children, which is different from the conflict between the second house and the eldest son. What's more, the third house only has the second son Jing as his son. , although there is a concubine brother who is only ten years old, I don't know how long it will take for this young master to become a talent, so the burden of the third room is on the second master Jing alone. I only hope that he will be on the list next year. At this juncture, how can I have the leisure to care about those trivial matters with others."

"This is the case with the large number of people in my family. When I was a girl, I was always worried about this housework. Fortunately, I married Gong Changji. After marriage, we separated and set up households. This is how we live a quiet life."

"When you have more sons in the future, this quiet life will be far away from you."

"Hey, don't try to make fun of me. Clans are not the same. Except for the sons and grandsons, the other sons will separate as soon as they get married. It will be lively for a few years at most. Any family conflicts are probably limited to the eldest brother, elder sister-in-law and unmarried younger siblings." However, since they left home after they got married, the eldest brother and elder sister-in-law should be more magnanimous."

"Oh, I told the wrong joke."

Ning Peilan couldn't help but laughed.

"There are times when you are confused."

"Because it's easy today, a little lazy, and I didn't use my brain."

"It's good to relax. You are usually too tired. Relax when it's time to relax. If there is no place to be lazy in the mansion, you can come to me. I can relax when we chat. The farewell party of your second master a few days ago Banquet, Tong Mingli came over in the afternoon and sat with me all afternoon, crying and talking about Liang Zhongshan, it made my head hurt, I really wished you were there at that time, and could help me share the burden."

Ning Peilan thought of what happened that day, and shook her head helplessly again.

"Tong Mingli's situation is really worrying."
