delicious little cook

Chapter 77
Gu Yun walked back from the corner gate of the garden of Wenling Courtyard, and saw that there was no one in the main room, so he could only continue to walk to the front yard depressedly, and saw his girls all gathered at the door of the small kitchen to chat.

Seeing the young master came back, the maids hurried forward to salute, and Lu Doudou and the others saluted anxiously.

Gu Yun saw three strangers in the crowd, raised his eyebrows, and Mei Lun hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"Oh, you are the few people in the rookie competition, are you all good sisters of Bai Kou?"

The three nodded without hesitation.

"You clean up my small kitchen first, throw away the ingredients for the afternoon snack, and then come to see me in the main room."

"Yes, Third Young Master."

Lu Doudou and the others hurried to work, Meilun Meihuan followed Gu Yun back to the main room to wait for him to change clothes, and then the other maids brought tea and warm water into the room.

When Bai Kou came back from the ice cellar, the small kitchen had been tidy and clean, and Lu Doudou and the others went to the main room to report back.

Putting down the things in his hands, and telling the little girls to prepare the baking tray and light the oven, Bai Kou slipped into the main room to listen to the corner.

The third young master happened to reward Lu Doudou and the others with five hundred Wen each in the house.

"This is to scare you, and it is also to keep your mouth shut. Go back to East Kitchen and keep your mouth shut. You are not allowed to tell anyone what you have seen and heard. If others talk about it, it has nothing to do with you, but if I hear the text What details are discussed by other people outside Lingyuan, I will be the first to settle accounts with the three of you."

The joy of holding the money hadn't gone away, and they were threatened by the third young master again. Lu Doudou and the others nodded in trepidation, promising not to say a word.

Hearing this most important sentence, Bai Kou sneaked back to work in the small kitchen with her waist down, and when she checked the temperature in the oven room and went back to the kitchen to get the duck legs, she saw Lu Doudou and the others coming over. up.

The third young master was at home, so the three outsiders couldn't be allowed to take the shortcut at the corner gate of the garden, so they had to take the main road to get back to the East Kitchen.

Both parties didn't have time to stop and say a few words, so they agreed to talk again at noon tomorrow, and then went their separate ways.

The Sixth Young Master slipped over at this time, he had only entered the door not long ago during the chaos, and was directly detained in the Jicheng Hall and was not allowed to wander around. He could not come out until his parents came back at this moment.

At the elder brother's place, the sixth young master Gu Chen finally learned the general story of the whole incident, recalling the appearance of the third grandmother, the young master couldn't help shivering.

There is no dim sum today, so dinner was brought to the table early, four duck legs were roasted into crispy duck legs, and the bones were removed before serving, and there was still leftovers on a large plate. The sixth young master didn't eat much, he was greedy The addiction passed, and the appetite returned to normal.

The sixth young master stopped being greedy, and the third young master didn't want to feed himself to death, so he took the remaining duck leg meat from the table to reward the girls, and ate up the other dishes.

After dinner, the two brothers sat in the living room to eat tea and digest food. Bai Kou came in with the next five-day menu and asked the third young master to have a look. Meilun also had housework to report. Good night please.

The old lady felt a little less angry after being comforted by her sons and daughters-in-law in turn. When her grandsons came in, she smiled and threw her anger towards that stupid sister-in-law into the sky.

Back at Jicheng Hall, Gu Yun hugged his mother's arm and acted coquettishly. The eldest lady was really tortured by her son, so she agreed to his request, and the daily meals of the girls in Wenling Courtyard were transferred to Wenling Courtyard. In terms of accounts, they are responsible for themselves, and the West Kitchen is no longer responsible for their three meals a day.

As a grandson registered in the imperial court, Gu Yun has various special treatment at home. The amount of money that the eldest lady allocates to Wenlingyuan's account every month is several times that of other brothers and sisters, except for the amount allocated to Ji Chengtang's account. In addition to the money, the eldest lady also appropriated another share from her own dowry, and the third young master naturally did whatever he wanted when he had enough money. Only big expenses such as building a new kitchen required the support of his parents.

With his mother's permission, Gu Yun walked briskly around Babu Lane to return to Wenling Courtyard. Sure enough, he saw his maids gathered in the front yard, but the atmosphere was a bit dignified. Meihuan was standing next to his sister, holding a rice bowl and counting rice , Meilun was sitting on the steps of the veranda wiping tears, Aunt Su was comforting her, there was the sound of working in the kitchen, no one noticed that the young master had come back.

"I'm just going out to say good night to the elders, so what's going on with you in such a short time?" Gu Yun tried his best to control his temper and asked in a deep voice.

Mei Lun Meihuan looked up in shock, and hurried down from the veranda, and everyone in the kitchen also rushed out, but no one spoke to explain.

"Bai Kou, tell me." Gu Yun was impatient with the girls' hesitation.

"Third young master, the family members of Meilunmeihuan's two elder sisters heard rumors from somewhere that you would let them arrange a marriage at home. Their family asked someone to deliver a message and found Menna for them. A wealthy family with a concubine, the head of the family is over 40 and has only a daughter and no son, knowing the background of the two sisters, he is willing to pay a high price to buy them back and have a son."

After hearing this, Gu Yun's face turned black, and he laughed back in anger.

"It's a beautiful idea! My own girl is reluctant to be a concubine, but their family is rushing to ask their daughter to be a concubine!"

Mei Lun Mei Huan couldn't hold back any longer and squatted on the ground crying loudly, full of grievances and heartaches that made them unable to keep calm and reserved in front of the young master.

"Third young master, you need to get a charter as soon as possible, and you can't let others lead you by the nose. Moreover, with the family virtues of their two sisters, if they live well after marriage, their mother's family may often come to the house to fight the autumn breeze. , as time goes by and the number of times increases, the husband's family will definitely feel dissatisfied, and you will end up complaining."

"In this way, the two of them can't be allowed to marry ordinary civilians. An honest family can't deal with such a cheeky and unruly in-law."

"It's better for the Meilunmeihuan sisters to marry someone who has connections with the Duke's Mansion. The parents of Xiaoqian and Xiaojing are both honest people, and they are really happy that their daughter has left their nationality and become a commoner."

"Xiaoqian and Xiaojing are the next year's business. Let me solve Meilun's problem first. Tell me what you think."

"I invite Uncle Yan, the steward of the kitchen warehouse, to be a matchmaker. He is the old shopkeeper who was hired back by the old master. The shopkeepers and stewards who run the shop for the Duke's mansion know the rules in the mansion, and they often deal with arrogance in their daily business. Unreasonable guests, see if any of their nephews are willing, but don't force them. After all, they are common people for generations, and it is normal not to want to marry a slave who has quit their nationality. If you are lucky and find someone who is interested, look for opportunities to arrange both parties On the other hand, the two parties have taken a fancy, and then do a comprehensive background investigation on the man, including family medical history, check everything you can think of, married sisters should also be checked, some strange diseases pick gender, men can't get women, or women can't Men are not allowed, and there are those from different generations. Our girl is innocent and clean, why should she marry a flawed one."

Bai Kou spoke a lot without stopping, everyone was speechless, even the Meilunmeihuan sisters who were crying before unconsciously listened to her.
