delicious little cook

Chapter 942 Angry
After discussing business matters, they made an appointment to go to the factory together tomorrow, Gu Yun went home to read a book, greeted his elders after dinner, and sat in his father's study for a while.

If he wanted to know the latest trends of the court, his father Ye Guogong's news was of course the most authoritative.

The first booklet of the imperial envoy has been in Beijing for several days, and some contents have been circulated one after another. The officials are discussing in private, guessing how many people will be unlucky, and whether the imperial court will kill them before the year.

"Imperial Envoy Minister of the Household Department Qiu Wei, this person is sitting in his current position relying on his exquisite auditing skills. When he was a magistrate, don't try to hide things from him about economics and taxation, even if it is perfect. There are very few fake accounts that can fool him. The imperial court sent him to Dacheng Mansion to investigate the truth about the disaster relief. He will definitely dig out astonishing inside information little by little."

"Isn't that good? Let him uproot the local forces in Dacheng Mansion. The squires, those who oppose the court, will simply be wiped out. After destroying the old ones, there will be new ones, and the new squires will definitely be in the next few decades. Absolutely loyal to the court."

"That's easier said than done."

"Since Qiu Shangshu is so powerful, the eight achievements of the court want to do this. The Zhao family is the local emperor of the Dacheng Mansion. If we don't suppress it, after the crown prince succeeds, it will be a great threat to the political stability of the court. Anyway, they haven't done it for decades. If you have done something good, there must be a lot of criminal evidence, there is no physical evidence and there are human witnesses, as long as you are willing to support the new gentry, those who want to be in power will naturally help the court to collect evidence that can convict those people."

"You were right. The contents of Qiu Wei's booklet are related to the household registration survey. I don't know the specifics. It probably starts with the investigation of population loss."

"There are another 2000 people on my farm, and they are all witnesses."

"Don't be too happy, if you are really found out, the person you bought at such a high price, the imperial court will directly treat you as a slave, what should you do?"

"They're farm hands, not slaves."

"what?!"

"It's a hired worker, Daddy, how could I leave such a clue, their deeds of selling their lives have not been registered, so many people go to the government to register, how can the saint spare me? So I have been procrastinating, really I’m not afraid if it’s found on my head.”

Lord Ye Gu Yunan shook his head and laughed, "You boy, this trick is quite cunning."

"That's right, I, the imperial merchant, have done a good job, how could I cause trouble for myself?"

"Okay, okay, I won't tell you anymore, as long as you are ready, go back and read, it is getting closer and closer to Chunwei."

Gu Yun nodded, resigned from his parents, and went back to the house.

Early the next morning, Gu Yun and Bai Kou met on the street, took their respective carriages to the factory, and discussed the details of selling vegetables with the stewards, and left them to handle the rest.

As soon as the news came out, the rich and noble families in the capital immediately arranged for their servants to go to the Xile Fang to queue up before dawn every day. The variety of vegetables means that the production of each vegetable is limited, and there is nothing to grab when you go late arrive.

The only ones that don’t need to snap up are Gongli, Prince Qing’s Mansion, Prince Cheng’s Mansion, Duke Ye’s Mansion and Women’s Tea Room.

Mrs. Gu, who has separated, is naturally reluctant to buy a cabbage for a tael of silver, but they still live in the mansion, and Mrs. Gu will still take care of her, and it will not be a problem to share two plates of vegetables with her.

Mrs. Gan didn't buy it, she didn't join in the fun, and if she didn't buy it, Mrs. Gu couldn't say anything, but when Gu Chan came to visit her mother, she sent some vegetables. Mrs. Gu was so proud that she boasted in front of her daughter-in-law. Hello daughter, respect the elderly, and have elders in my heart.

It's okay to listen to such words, Gan doesn't take it to heart at all, and will follow her mother-in-law's words to praise Gu Chan, but it's over after she finishes speaking, even if the mother-in-law just asks her son to come over for dinner, she doesn't care, the two sides are now doing their own things For rice, the mother-in-law wants to eat fresh green leafy vegetables and buy them herself, but her daughter-in-law doesn't care.

Mrs. Gu was very angry when she saw that her daughter-in-law was silent. Vegetables were not delivered every day from her daughter's side. Green leafy vegetables were all one tael a piece. Melons were more expensive. A plate of green vegetables had to be several. A few taels of money went into her stomach. Before the separation, there was no time when eating vegetables was so embarrassing. Gu Chan herself supported her family by relying on her dowry, and she didn't have so much spare money to buy southern vegetables every day. Queuing is enough.

Gan pretended to be deaf and dumb, and lived on the traditional storable vegetables in the capital, but Ning Peilan gave her vegetables several times in private. Now the palace has only a family of three and Bai Kou, and the four of them get vegetables from the factory every day They can't finish eating at all, and the extra food will either be given to the housekeeper's accountant, or given to Gan's. In addition, there are baby recipes written by Bai Kou. Children over one year old can already eat the same food as adults, but adults can eat the same food as adults. Food can be dealt with casually, and children cannot live without fresh vegetables.

Mrs. Gan didn't say a word about the extra vegetables. She didn't even tell Gu Xu. All the servants in the family were her dowry maids and companions. They all listened to her, and everyone kept it secret. They cooked it according to the recipe. After the meal, it was sent to the nurse's room for the children to eat, and the rest was eaten by Gan himself. Anyway, Gu Xu was basically not at home during the day, and they secretly ate it without Gu Xu knowing it. They were so cautious because they were afraid that their mother-in-law would send someone suddenly. Come here, if you see vegetables, you will definitely have a catastrophe.

The vegetable selling business of Gu Yun and Bai Kou is booming. There are different kinds of vegetables for sale in the greenhouse every day. After selling a crop, they quickly replant them. After ten days and a half months, they will be mature and on the market again. In order to prepare for the Chinese New Year The demand for vegetables is increasing, and they are still trying to find ways to increase the amount of planting.

During the past few days, the imperial envoy Qiu Wei, who was in the Dacheng Mansion, entered Beijing one by one. Although the contents of the notebooks are not known to the common people, they can see which families have been imprisoned. Yes, everyone in the officialdom is in danger, afraid that it will be their turn next.

In the circle of female relatives of rich and noble families, new rumors have been slowly spreading these days. I don't know where it came from. At the party, Bai Kou would always be brought out to make fun of her, mocking her for attracting Gu Yun's attention with her graceful figure. So many high-quality business partners, is it also the credit of Bai Kou in bed?

This kind of deliberate insulting words inevitably spread to the ears of men, and some sensual playboys also made fun of the relationship between Bai Kou and Gu Yun, wondering if Bai Kou's good figure would be exciting in bed, and some people Already imagining how much it will cost to get Bai Kou into their bed to have a good time.

It's just that Gu Yun has been taking care of business recently, reducing a lot of unnecessary entertainment, so the rumors didn't reach his ears, and the buddies who heard such nonsense didn't go out of their way to tell him that one more thing is worse than one less thing.

Under such gossip, not everyone is willing to follow the trend to smear black and white. Among the guests who went to the warm soup meeting were the cousins, aunts, and their sisters of Princess Jingyun's grandpa's family, who were from the family of military generals. The women do not agree with this statement at all. From their point of view, Bai Kou is a normal martial arts figure, but she is tall and thin, which makes her body curve particularly attractive. After all, she is tall enough to stand in the crowd and look down. The top of the head makes men feel inferior.

Of course, Ning Peilan is also on Bai Kou's side. No matter who tries to trick her, she will seriously remind them not to follow the trend. People of their background did not do this to smear and insult a commoner woman, let alone Bai Kou has never offended the entire powerful circle, so why bother to confront her for no reason, she does her business, dislikes her for being a philistine, just ignore her, why bother to lower her status and make things difficult for Bai Kou, in the end she is not losing herself s face.

The two completely different opinions made the women who did not participate in the warm soup meeting more curious, wondering which one was more objective.

The rumor finally reached Princess Jingyun's ears. She was mad, but under the consolation of her concubine, she didn't rush to attack. She just took advantage of a tea party to catch a small group of five people who couldn't control their mouths. Since it was an active crime, Jingyun was not polite, and the maid who was going to accompany her gave her two slaps in front of everyone.

"Bai Kou is a guest I personally invited to participate in the warm soup meeting. I have never posted a post for the five of you, especially the two of you didn't even participate in this warm soup meeting, and the three of you followed along because of the favor of others." After a trip, I felt like I was going to become a fairy after being dipped in the royal hot soup? Bai Kou's good figure is the result of her years of hard work in martial arts. What qualifications do you have to laugh at her with your fat and bloated figure? You are jealous of her It’s really a good family education to wantonly smear through hard work! As a noble lady, she is bold and behaves like a shrew in the market, fabricating facts and wantonly insulting the guests I invite is trampling on my face! The mouth is so eloquent, why not Go to Bai Kou and have a good time? Isn't it because you are afraid that she will slap you to death! You only dare to speak ill of people behind your back, so I am worthy of your background!"

Princess Jingyun took the opportunity to lose her temper, and frightened the five people so pale that they knelt down and begged for mercy. The expression is extremely ridiculous.

The other guests attending the tea party were also terrified. After seeing the princess finished speaking, someone bravely stepped forward to persuade her to calm down and took her to rest elsewhere. The family hurriedly prepared a car and took their female relatives home Go, this tea party is almost over even if it has not been declared over. After the five people left, everyone followed suit.

The princess made such a big fuss, in fact, it was killing the chickens to warn the monkeys. The status of the women depended entirely on the men in the family, and the five who were taught by the princess in public would still be offended when they returned home.
