delicious little cook

Chapter 792

After Bai Kou finished her work, she packed up her things and left. She didn't care whether Shizi had finished her homework or not, and called the maids to serve him to rest.

The maids saw that the son had a bad face, and thought that he was tired from heavy homework, so he was more careful in serving him, not daring to take a breath.

Gu Yun noticed this keenly, and deliberately found fault and lost his temper. The girls were so scared that they were at a loss, and hurriedly invited Bai Kou to smooth things over.

Bai Kou didn't know what was going on with this well-behaved place, but Gu Yun stopped making trouble when he saw her coming, and the girls also heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Bai Kou was the most useful, so he quickly entrusted the prince to her to serve, They scattered to do some chores.

When all the other people in the bedroom were gone, Gu Yun hugged Bai Kou with a smile and bowed his head to kiss. Bai Kou could only let him take advantage of this until someone came back again.

After tossing around like this for quite a while, Gu Yun finally washed up and went to bed, but he was rolling around on the spacious big bed, uneasy, and finally fell asleep slowly with the resentment that Bai Kou would leave him one day.

When he woke up the next day, Gu Yun remembered about Wei Qian's promotion, asked Bai Kou and learned that all the congratulatory gifts were prepared, so he asked her to send someone to Wei's mansion. The brothers' party was scheduled outside when they were resting. It's a place, we don't meet in Wei's house, I don't bother to bring so many things, Wei Qian will definitely be riding a horse, and it will be difficult for him to get too many gifts, so it's better to send him to his house now to save everyone trouble.

Bai Kou complied, went down to give orders, and Gu Yun ate breakfast, changed clothes and went out.

Before noon, the Imperial Academy came back with a message that Gu Xu's article was boasted by the sage, and he was given a good job. If it goes well, it is very likely that he will be replaced by Liang Zhongshan.

When Mrs. Gu heard such good news, she was so excited that she almost fainted. She rubbed her chest and took a deep breath. She kept asking her daughter if Gu Chan had passed the wrong news. After asking five or six times in a row, she always got an affirmative answer. Only then did the second lady burst out laughing, and then cried again, crying and laughing at the same time, losing control of her emotions for a while.

Gu Chan was also very happy. It was a blessing for the family that her elder brother had a smooth career. Fortunately, he was not implicated by Liang Zhongshan's fellow, and that Yang Mi, his father, Yang Siyuan, was a student of Liang Zhongshan's father. It's a pity that the talented Yang Mi was originally a promising young man.

The eldest lady and the third lady got the information later and came to the second room to express their congratulations. The second lady showed a smug look on her face and put on airs as a noble lady in front of her sister-in-law. Reuse is also a great joy in the mansion, so both of them complimented the second wife, saying that the father and son, the second master and Gu Xu, must be great figures who will make their wives and sons famous in history in the future.

The second madam is very pleased with these words. She has a husband, and her husband will naturally earn her orders. It is enough for Gu Xu to take good care of his wife and children. The status will also be different, maybe even surpass the long house.

The old lady got the news later, and directly rewarded the second room with some gifts, some for the daughter-in-law and some for the granddaughter-in-law. Gan took the things, invited her mother-in-law to leave together, and took the children to thank the old lady. .

When the boys came home from school one after another, when they heard about this, they were naturally happy for Gu Xu. Only Gu Yun hoped that Gu Xu would learn to be smarter from now on. Being around a saint is not easy, and Liang Zhongshan has his own fault for being favored. As a human being, if he didn't seek his own death, it would be Gu Xu's turn to replace him. .

But such frustrating words are not suitable for pouring cold water on him now, so Gu Yun kept the words in his stomach, instead of worrying about Gu Xu, he wanted to talk with Bai Kou in his arms.

When Gu Xu arrived home, he was beaming when he saw his family members. After finally talking enough in front of his mother, he went back to his hut to get along with his wife and daughter. Gu Xu showed a bitter look and told his wife about the unfathomable power of the sky. suffering.

"In the past, I only knew that I was envious of Liang Zhongshan's favoritism. Obviously, the sage had several royal literati under his command. Why should he be the most important one? Now I know that jealousy blinded his eyes and wrongly blamed him. I am the errand assigned by the sage. Do it with trepidation, if there is a slight omission, this hard-won opportunity will be taken by others."

"Don't panic. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask your uncle. Now that the Liang family has collapsed, all parties are vying for the space they have vacated. Our whole family must also work together."

"What I'm talking about is that once the Liang family collapses, their cronies will also fall, and a lot of positions will be vacated. We must occupy a few good ones, just in time to change new positions for the young and old in our family."

"That's right, the old and young masters in our mansion are waiting to change positions. Husband, you are the first Jinshi among the younger generation in the mansion. The younger brothers can't help you. You can only take care of the whole family by yourself."

"Don't worry, I will definitely do the errands in my hand beautifully, and give the saint a good impression, and don't let others take my position. I will keep my position, so that I can better compete for a good position for the three masters." .”

"Husband, you can do it." Gan said with a soft smile, with respect shining in his eyes.

Gu Xu's husband and wife were whispering, and Gu Yun was also telling Bai Kou jokes about Gu Xu in the ear room.

"The people around the sage are all with exquisite hearts, and Gu Xu, with his elm head, doesn't know if he can do it or not."

"If you can't do it, you will miss the opportunity to be in the top position. This is a test and temptation. But with Liang Zhongshan's lesson, the saint will probably not favor anyone in particular. As for his old man's wish, the premise is that you will be listed next year. You have to be famous."

Hearing Bai Kou mentioning Chun Wei, Gu Yun felt a burst of nervousness, his heart seemed to miss a beat, and he had a toothache-like expression.

"The sage did intend to test the ability of his young courtiers, but the job fell on him. Gu Xu may not have thought about it, especially our second lady, you didn't listen to your girl when you came back today. Are you talking about gossip over there?"

"I said it, and I forgot it after listening to it. The second lady has always felt that life is aggrieved, and she wants to look good. Now that the opportunity has come, let her think that the good days are coming. Uncle Xu himself will definitely work hard to earn money for himself." As far as grades are concerned, if he keeps doing nothing and is overtaken by his younger brothers in a few years, he won't look good, will he?"

"You are quite optimistic about him."

"His achievements are also the glory of the whole family. Naturally, we should hope for his good, but can we still hope for his bad? They are all surnamed Gu, and in the eyes of outsiders, they are like a family."

"But?" Gu Yun stretched out his hand and lightly touched the tip of Bai Kou's nose, then put his hands around her waist and pulled her into his arms for a kiss, "You like to hide half of your words."

Without hesitation, Bai Kou hit Gu Yun's stomach with an elbow, causing him to groan, then pushed his face away with a smile, and finished the second half of the sentence.

"However, our Uncle Xu's habit of throwing blame is not known to be exposed in front of the saint, especially his method of throwing blame is still very smelly. If the saint really no longer favors his close ministers, he will definitely not tolerate this. shortcoming."
