Chapter 187: On the List
After the young masters went out, Bai Ko had breakfast by herself, routinely walked around every day to check the work, went to the east kitchen and told Zeng Zhu about the quicksand bag, she went back to Zhongming Courtyard to change her riding clothes, and went to the stable to lead the horse to the street.
In addition to taking back the custom-made case scale, she also bought a little caustic soda sugar, a few things in one hand, and held the reins in one hand, all the way back to the house.
The scale was placed in the kitchen, the caustic soda and sugar were hidden in the study of the back cover building, Bai Ko wanted to make some handmade soap to wash underwear and socks, the soap bought on the street was too small, as big as a wax pill, I was not used to it, I missed the large piece of soap, and the other clothes were washed by Aunt Su, and she also took care of Bai Ko's needlework, which saved Bai Ko a lot of heart.
The old pots and pots for making soap are all ready-made, and there are some idle old things in the east kitchen that have long been picked up by Bai Ko for waste use, and no one notices what she wants to do.
Before lunch, Bai Ko deliberately went to the east kitchen to ask them to leave her the waste oil after frying, and then went to get it after lunch, and brought back a large urn of filtered waste oil, and the frying fragments in the oil were filtered out.
After a short nap, Bai Ko was busy in the empty pantry in the back building, as long as Shizi was not at home, this garden was her own world.
After the catering business in the previous life became bigger, for the sake of the brand image, as a boss, he had to publicize his support for environmental protection and health, and resolutely did not use margarine.
Who would have thought that a little handmade soap knowledge that was just learned for the sake of business is now coming in handy, and if you want to use a piece of soap, you have to do it yourself.
This is waiting for soap to use, so naturally I will not take the cold method with a long maturation period, put on another newly made mask and gloves, and start directly with the hot method.
After more than an hour, Bai Ko made the soap, put it in the empty room on the second floor, opened the window to ventilate, and waited for the mold to be used.
After cleaning up the aftermath and restoring the pantry to its original state, Bai Ko washed her hands and went to the front for a walk, and the girls thought that she had been reading in the room.
Bai Ko walked to the east kitchen, watched them make quicksand bags, the carriage was already waiting outside the back door of the kitchen, the wrapped raw buns were placed in a small steamer, covered with wet gauze to keep the dough moist, loaded a few large food boxes and put them out, the coachman raised his whip and set off quickly.
After the share of the Yiguo Mansion was sent out, steamed buns began to be boiled in the kitchen, and all rooms and courtyards were stained with fresh food.
The second young master Gu Jing took the opportunity to call Mengmei to the room to ask her about the quicksand stuffing, Mengmei couldn't answer, and was closed by the second young master for a good "punishment", just when his parents went out to socialize, the girls around him would not tell her about this kind of thing, otherwise they would know the end.
In the evening, Gu Yun came back from Jianshuifang and watched the hand-to-hand talk for a day in the chess club, he himself felt a little dizzy, and after the girls waited for him to wash his hands and face and change his clothes, he lay down on the Luohan couch and didn't want to get up.
In the last few days of the month, Gu Yun didn't go out again, even though he didn't say anything, he always put his mind on the flirting girl, but he could still see his nervousness, Bai Ko had a deep understanding of this state of mind, any exam and competition was in such a mood before learning the results, he could only bear it by himself, and others couldn't help.
On the first day of the ninth month, the day of the release of the autumn list, early in the morning, the government sent a family member to wait outside the gate of the Gongyuan, and the family waited at home with the complicated feelings of anticipation, anxiety and anxiety.
Gu Yun had a good appetite and ate breakfast, and then went to Rong Entang to wait for news with his grandmother and mother.
He is young, and he planned to fail before entering the venue, unlike his second cousin Gu Jing, who passed his seventeen-year-old birthday at the beginning of the year, if he wants to develop in his career in this life, he still has to be young, if he can be on the list this time, Gu Jing can concentrate on Chunqiu, and others will also congratulate the family on another young man like the lobby brother Gu Xu.
The third master and the third lady were at home with their son nervously waiting for news, and after a while, they asked the girl what time it was.
Bai Qiao waited for the young master's breakfast, and then went to the east kitchen, today is the thirteenth birthday of the second room concubine and the fourth young master Gu Feng, I have to cook him something delicious.
The fourth young master, Gu Feng, will be the first time to take the boy's test next spring, and the current atmosphere at home has some impact on him, and he is nervous and restless in the room of his biological mother, Aunt Liu.
Outside the gate of the Gongyuan, the soldiers were putting up a list, and each one was pasted, and the people behind them were surrounded by people, and the people standing in the front row were obligingly reciting their names aloud, so that the people standing behind could distinguish whether they had themselves or not.
The family members of the Ye Guo Mansion were also crowded in the crowd, and the list was posted backwards from the last one, and the first few were posted all the way without the names of their two young masters, and in a blink of an eye, the soldiers were already pasting the third from the bottom.
At this time, the Gu family heard a familiar name, and Gu Jing was on the list.
The two of them were excited and happy for a while, and continued to move with the crowd, pricking up their ears to listen to the names of the people in front of them.
The penultimate list, there is no Gu Yun's name, the last one is the top of the list, there are only ten names on it, and the person standing at the front recites the top ten of this year's autumn to the people around him word by word with the loudest voice.
When the third name was read from top to bottom, the Gu family members rushed out of the crowd with cheers and screams, and ran to the street outside the Gongyuan, where the carriages and horses all stopped as usual.
"Hit! Hit! All hit! ”
"Go home! Go home! ”
The two members of the family climbed into the carriage with a rolling belt, and the coachman had already turned the front of the carriage in advance, and at this moment the whip was raised, and the carriage set off immediately.
The coachman raised the whip vigorously while shouting "good news", and the pedestrians and cars on the street suddenly knew that this was the carriage that was going back to report the good news, and they gave way, and the carriage with the mark of the Yeguo Mansion was rampaging on the avenue of the capital, rushing into Tianshuifang at the fastest speed, and braking sharply outside the gate of their own house.
"Good news! Good news! ”
"Guys are all hit! All hit! ”
"The third in the world! Third! ”
The family members who went to see the list didn't have time to get out of the car, so they only stretched out their heads and shouted, and the family members on duty outside the door immediately passed the news into the inner house layer by layer, and the entire Yeguo Mansion soon boiled.
The two young masters in the family who took the exam were all selected for the lift, and the younger son won the third place, and the second young master ranked third, although the ranking was much behind the younger brother, but now both of them are lifters, this is the most important thing, and the ranking does not have to care.
The old lady and the eldest lady were full of joy and ordered the whole house to give a reward, and all the subordinates added an extra month to each other.
The third room was also overjoyed, and the people lined up to kowtow to the main room to congratulate the second young master, and the third master also ordered the third room to add an extra month.
The people in the second room were envious, and they strongly hoped that the eldest young master would also be able to pay tribute to the high school in the spring next year, and then participate in the palace examination and come back with a champion, and everyone was happy and happy.
