delicious little cook

Chapter 917

Lao Cui drove his carriage back to Tianshuifang along the main road in the middle of the city, but just after crossing the boundary of Zhongfang and entering the area around Shangfang, it stopped because the road was blocked.

Bai Kou listened to passers-by outside the window commenting that there was a series of carriage collisions in front of her, and it seemed that some powerful people's carriage was injured. Now it is in chaos, and the lower part of her window is sealed, and she can only see a limited area outside. Angle, I can't see what's going on in front of me, and I'm hesitating whether to turn into the next door and take the cross street to go around here, but someone knocks on her car door, looks out through the door window, it turns out to be the guard of the East Palace, Quickly open the door and go down.

"Is the East Palace convoy what happened in front? Has anyone been hurt?" Before the other party could speak, Bai Kou asked nervously.

"The carriage was damaged, but the princess and grandson were not injured."

"How did this happen? Did it hit you sideways?"

"Exactly, we were walking normally when an out-of-control cart hit us on the main road. The momentum was too great. Seeing that we couldn't stop the horse, we had to abandon the cart to rescue the princess and the emperor's grandson first. That's how it crashed."

"Where are you going? Do you want me to take the princess a while? I'm fine now, and I'm going back to Tianshuifang."

The guard looked overjoyed, "We are going back to the palace."

"Then..." Before Bai Kou could finish speaking, she saw Gong Jingyun and Gong Zhenghui walking over surrounded by maidservants and guards.

"Bai Kou Bai Kou Bai Kou, I knew you were here, your big carriage is too conspicuous, it's the only one in the whole capital." Princess Jingyun stood in front of the car and looked up, "It's really big."

"The layout is so special! The door actually opens from the side!" Little Huangsun looked into the carriage and asked politely, "Can I go in?"

"Of course, your carriage is broken, please allow the girl to take you back to the palace."

The two siblings immediately cheered and got into the car, "Knowing that your carriage is ready, I've been thinking about finding a chance to take a test ride. Your glass truck has such a frame structure, and it can only be used to carry people." Is it more stable?"

"Not only is it more stable, but it is also safer. Our car has a handbrake structure. In case of danger, the driver can quickly lock the four wheels by pulling the handbrake all the way. It doesn’t run far, and it will stop soon, otherwise if the truck loses control on the street, it will really kill people.”

"It's like what happened just now. Really, we can't stop at all. Even if we are the Donggong convoy, we still have to abandon the car and run for our lives." Emperor Zhenghui's grandson lay in front of the car window and looked out at the road that was slowly recovering.

"I think the structure of Bai Kou's car is quicker than others to abandon the car when it encounters danger." Princess Jingyun pointed to the closed door, "Open the door on the side, and it's easy to get in and out of the car. No wonder I heard that Gu Yun He has already borrowed a car from you for his grandmother to go out."

"Well, this year is the anniversary of the 67th birthday of the former Duke. The old lady is also [-]-[-] years old, and she wants to pay homage to her deceased husband in person, but it is a bit difficult for her to climb into the carriage. Just as the new carriage was built, it was Gu Yun fell in love with him, and he tried sitting on it himself."

"By the way, I remembered that he was the one who encountered such a disgusting thing on the street in your carriage. Now that the case has been judged, those people have been demoted to low status. Hmph, they deserve it." Jingyun County The master applauded.

"This result is quite unexpected. After all, the cause was just cursing people in the street. Gu Yun stripped them naked and swaggered through the market, already ruining their face, and then throwing them into prison for a few days of hard life and tossing them is over. Who would have thought of being The imperial censor revealed it early in the morning, making it known to the court and the public."

"It's good for the government and the public to know it. Their mouths are so stinky. They don't look like scholars. They are raising people's fame, and they are the umbrellas in the local area. They will attract people from all walks of life. Who knows if they have participated in this business in private? It has been a long time , bad habits have become a habit, and they don’t restrain themselves when they come to the capital. They have brought this end on themselves. This kind of scum has to be cleaned up, and it is unfair to scholars all over the world to keep their fame." Zhenghui Huangsun Yi said solemnly.

The little emperor's grandson's words made everyone laugh. Bai Koo saw him as cute, so she couldn't help stretching out her hands to pinch his face. She was probably the one who dared to do something to the future little prince.

"Based on their actions, getting rid of their fame is the best. Relegation to low status is a punishment for serious crimes. The court's intervention may still make people discuss the unfairness of sentencing." Bai Kou was still a little worried, after all, she and Gu Yun is considered a party, if those self-proclaimed righteous scholars dare not confront the government, it is because she has to bear the public opinion.

"It's okay to discuss, write a letter if you have an opinion, don't scold people, what's wrong with kicking them out if you scold them? Why don't you allow others to settle accounts afterwards after you commit a scandal that insults the gentleman? The law has never prohibited a female head of household to earn money for food, Otherwise, wouldn’t those widows who are obsessed with chastity starve to death? Since they are earning their living by their ability, who has the right to point them out? Let me tell you, those people with bad mouths are actually jealous, and they are crazy with jealousy, because you are in vain How much money does Kou earn alone? People who speak ill of you are jealous of your wealth. The total tax payment of the factory in the first three quarters of this year has exceeded 5000 taels, and the goal of paying taxes of [-] taels will be achieved in a few years. gone."

"It's not easy, it was too much bragging back then."

"Hey hey hey hey hey, I can't finish my bragging, but I'm deceiving you." The two siblings winked at Bai Kou together.

"Could it be that you two are gloating so much because you want to see me cheating on you?" Bai Kou suddenly blushed with pain, "How much hatred?"

"Actually, you are not the one who bullies you." Princess Jingyun squeezed her eyes, "Do you want to understand?"

"what?"

"It turns out that there are times when you can't turn your head around." The two siblings laughed again.

Bai Kou looked at them helplessly, "Minnv is dull, why don't you ask for instructions?"

"At the beginning when you made the promise, you were an official servant, but now you are a citizen. Gu Yun became an imperial merchant because of this factory. From the beginning to the end, Gu Yun was the one who took responsibility. If the cowhide is broken, you can't reach it. It's unlucky for him, it's none of your business."

Bai Kou laughed dryly, hesitating whether to tell the two that she was now a shareholder of the factory, and she would be unlucky if she failed to make the cowhide.

"Gu Yun himself is also facing a marriage negotiation. You run the factory so well, what if his future young wife is jealous of you and wants to seize power? At that time, she is a wife and you are an outsider. Gu Yun may not support you. , What are you going to do then? Did he say how to protect your interests?" Princess Jingyun is ten years old this year, so she will naturally think of this issue.

"Yes, of course there is."

"What is it?" The two children opened their eyes curiously.

"Gu Yun shares **** shares with my factory." Bai Kou said it after thinking about it.

"...Ah?!" The siblings were silent for a while, and then they both shouted in surprise. Someone knocked on the door immediately, and Princess Jingyun quickly responded that it was okay.

"This matter has never been made public, so you two must not let it slip."

"Hmm!" The siblings covered their mouths and nodded repeatedly, "Gu Yun's move is really unexpected."

"Gu Yun still attaches great importance to you. Even if his young wife takes your position as the treasurer, he can't take away your shares." Princess Jingxian blinked her eyes twice, "When will you be free next time? Shall we come out to play together? The flowers in the garden of the Sixteenth Emperor's Uncle's Mansion are blooming beautifully, shall we go to enjoy the flowers together?"

"Yeah, let's go together, let me tell you, the sixteenth emperor's uncle doesn't have a princess yet." Emperor Zhenghui mysteriously revealed a little secret to Bai Kou, and suddenly he yelled, "Sister, why are you kicking me?" ?!"

"Idiot!" Princess Jingyun lowered her head and stroked her forehead. This younger brother is so stupid.

Bai Kou smiled, "Oh, you want to enjoy the flowers?"

Emperor Zhenghui put his chin on his hands and made a cute look, "Go? You come to the palace to pick us up and bring some delicious food."

"Okay, let's make an appointment on a date that is convenient for everyone."

"Good!"
