delicious little cook

Chapter 78 It's up to the matchmaker

"How do you sound so experienced?"

"Because I have seen a living example in Yachifang. There is a family with a family disease. It is guessed that the disease is brought by a male through a certain generation. The male is not passed on to the female. The daughter is normal, but the son is not ten years old. The previous death meant that she could not live to be 25 years old, so she was a real orphan and widow. The old mother traveled half of the capital to marry a daughter-in-law for the only surviving Du Miao. Half a year later, the husband fell ill and couldn't afford it. At that time, the daughter-in-law was three months pregnant. She was so worried about other things at home and abroad that she was so tired that she had a miscarriage. Her husband died before winter. The father-in-law's family resented the in-laws' malicious deception and did not let their daughter Keep filial piety, and remarry in hot filial piety."

"There are so many stories about Yachifang."

"Yachifang is densely populated, all ordinary people, and each family has its own story. This incident was a big farce at the time. The Yue family was not small in number. When the son-in-law was dying, the young daughter-in-law's cousins ​​and brothers I was guarding at Yachifang, and when I heard the crying, the people who went to the Yamen to report the funeral went out, and they rushed home to take away the person and the dowry, and beat the matchmaker violently. This wrong marriage can be successful, this is Matchmakers often conceal deceit and mislead.”

"Then why does the old woman insist on marrying someone with a prosperous family?"

"It's very simple. My son will not live long, and I have no relatives at home. I can only rely on my daughter-in-law for the elderly. When my daughter-in-law gives birth safely, for the sake of my grandson, can my grandfather and uncles help me? Think loudly, who knows that the daughter-in-law here will have a miscarriage due to exhaustion, and their family is completely wiped out."

The girls who lived in the Duke's mansion since they were young have never heard such wonderful gossip in the market. Everyone was dumbfounded and stunned when they heard it. They didn't know how to evaluate this story.

Gu Yun rolled his eyes and pointed at Meilun, "Bai Kou is right, why should our clean girl marry a sick ghost with a hidden disease. Please pay attention to Uncle Yan first, an old shopkeeper like him, people Wide-ranging, please let him release the news, tell the truth about the family situation of the two sisters, don't hide it, and find someone who is sincere and willing."

"Yes, Third Young Master." Bai Kou nodded in response.

The two sisters laughed through their tears, and were supported by the girls to thank the young master.

"I just asked my wife for a favor, but I almost forgot about it because of your trouble."

The girls immediately looked at Gu Yun eagerly, wondering what kind of grace it was.

Gu Yun pointed at Bai Kou, "You all have to thank her, Madam just agreed that starting from the first day of next month, your three meals a day will be transferred to the account of Wenlingyuan."

The girls were bewildered and didn't realize what it meant, but Bai Kou had already cheered and jumped for joy.

"Thank you Madam! Thank you Third Young Master!"

"Mrs. Xie! Master Xie!" Aunt Su followed Bai Kou to salute and thank her.

"Mrs. Xie! Master Xie!" All the girls hurriedly saluted, feeling vaguely that this was good news, but they still couldn't figure it out.

"Sisters, the eldest lady has allowed everyone to start cooking by themselves next month. Sisters who are going to get married should take this opportunity to hone their cooking skills. Although women's red is important, it is more important to be the master." Bai Kou said with a smile Explain for everyone.

"Ah!" Sister Meilunmeihuan's face suddenly became hot and red, and she held her face in embarrassment, and the others laughed.

Infected by the girls' joy, Gu Yun couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear, but when his gaze caught sight of Bai Kou, he felt a faint feeling of being designed to be uncomfortable.

Xiaoqian and Xiaojing, who had been guarding the main room, heard the commotion in the front yard, and sneaked over to spy on it, only to find that the young master was here, and hurried forward to salute. After a while, the little girl quickly told them two good news, They both flushed with shame.

Gu Yun let the girls make a fuss, and went back to the room to review his homework.

Mei Lun Meihuan tidied up her emotions, followed up with the main room with tea in her hands, and then waited quietly outside the study, while Bai Kou quickly arranged the new benefits starting next month.

She cooks two meals in the morning and evening, and Aunt Su is in charge of the lunch meal. She is the only one who is good at cooking. It is no problem to cook some home-cooked dishes for a meal. The other girls are not good at all. In terms of manpower allocation, priority should be given to training Meilun's culinary skills.

Female celebrity and Zhongfu are equally important boudoir teachers, but they are just girls. Female celebrity has full marks for skills and zero for cooking skills.

And being able to cook by yourself solves the problem of not getting enough to eat. The ingredients are prepared in a unified way, and only when you can eat can you work.

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Kou got up together and ran to the west kitchen with the newly set five-day menu. At that time, the ingredients had just arrived and they were still sorting and cleaning. Bai Kou took Yan Bo to the corner to have a look. Whispering, Uncle Yan stroked his beard, his eyes curved into a smile, and he nodded repeatedly.

After making an appointment with Yan Bo about the time to meet in the morning, Bai Kou ran back to Wenling Courtyard and entrusted the matter to Aunt Su, because when Yan Bo had time to come over for a walk, Bai Kou himself was either in the school yard or in the East kitchen.

Since Uncle Yan was invited to be the matchmaker, it was only right for him to come over to see people. Aunt Su would act as an elder and lead the maids to the second door to talk.

So after talking with Aunt Su, Bai Kou started to make breakfast for the third young master. She steamed a pot of two-color hair cakes, wrapped a few pieces in oiled paper, and rushed to the second gate to bribe the woman who was guarding the gate.

The mother-in-law took the benefits and promised to notify Wenling Court when Uncle Yan came.

All the necessary arrangements were made, and everyone waited for the young master to go out step by step. Today, the third young master routinely went to the big school field in Bajingfang. His arrow sleeves with blue background and white waves showed a clean and neat demeanor.

Gu Yun went out, and everyone started to go about their business, Bai Kou rushed to the school to learn the last few basic boxing moves from Aunt Wu.

Many people in the school were talking about yesterday's farce, complaining that the third old lady was so stupid that she dared to send a slave to speak nonsense in the Duke's mansion. The third grandfather is just a bastard. It is not easy for him to achieve today's achievements in the officialdom. He walked out step by step, and the old face of the third grandfather was completely lost due to such a disturbance yesterday.

The nursing homes for women are all from the generation of aunts, they know a lot of past events in the mansion, chatting and chatting, they talked about the ceremonies and banquets that the women's family members had to attend during the hot filial piety period, the three old ladies can always Picking the bone in the egg, there is nothing that can satisfy her, which makes everyone dissatisfied. If it is not for the fact that the third grandfather is the younger brother of the former Duke, and he is very filial, the old lady can bear it. With this tone, the relationship between relatives faded after that, except for three festivals a year, basically there was no contact.

Judging from yesterday's situation, the third old lady didn't think that she had done anything wrong at the beginning, and she even carried the signboard of the third grandpa, and pushed her nose even more.

Bai Kou practiced martial arts for an hour, listened to the old gossip, and ran back to Wenling Courtyard energetically. The gatekeeper's mother-in-law blinked at her, and Bai Kou returned a knowing smile.

In Wenling courtyard, everyone was joking about Meilun Meihuan and the four of them. The previous meeting with Yan Bo went smoothly, and Meilun Meihuan did not hide his own situation. He just wanted to marry someone who was well-to-do. , Yan Bo expressed his understanding, the two parties happily broke up, and the next step is to wait for the news.

Bai Kou joked a few words, brought warm water back to the room to change clothes, and then went to the east kitchen without delay.
