Early the next morning, Bai Kom went to the ice kiln to retrieve the beef that had been marinated overnight, fried a plate of fragrant breakfast steak, two soup dumplings, a glass of juice, a fruit bowl, and a pot of mushroom and chicken porridge on the stove.

The steak was delicious, but Gu Yun, who was accustomed to a light breakfast, couldn't finish a plate of meat, so he only ate half a cage of soup dumplings, and wanted to eat porridge after drinking half a cup of juice, but when he brought it up, he saw that it was full of mushrooms and chicken, and he immediately felt full.

"Go and call White."

Meihuan hurriedly went out, and after a while, Bai Ko entered the house.

"What does the Third Young Master command?"

"Starting tomorrow, the amount of meat for breakfast will be halved like this."

"If the third young master insists, the servant should do it, but in the future, the height of the third young master may maintain the status quo and will not grow longer, when the eldest lady chooses her daughter-in-law in the future, for the sake of the third young master's face, she may only choose people among the short young lady, and the short woman will have many problems when she is pregnant and gives birth, if she is lucky enough to conceive twins, the danger to the mother will double with the growth of the month, premature birth and difficult birth are common things, in case of misfortune, The young grandmother who married later must be slightly inferior to Yuan Pei in all aspects, not to mention providing assistance to the third young master's career in the future, and it is time to snicker if it does not cause obstacles. "White Kom is talking nonsense in a serious way.

Gu Yun rolled his eyes unabashedly.

"You mean that if I have an unhappy marriage in the future, it will be because I decided not to eat too much meat for breakfast starting tomorrow?"

"Third young master, there must be a cause and effect, women love powerful and majestic men, the third young master practices martial arts twice a day, and if he keeps up with his diet, he should have grown into a high-spirited man, but because he is too picky eater, he is just an ordinary paper weak young master, alas." Bai Ko sighed regretfully.

Meilun and Meihuan covered their eyes with their hands and couldn't bear to look at them directly.

Although Gu Yun was also dumbfounded, he didn't get angry, but really recalled that every time he went to the Bajingfang campus, many women in the market were used to watching on the street, and it was indeed a tall and handsome young man who would be thrown fruits and flowers by the girls.

Once the train of thought is opened, it is not easy to close, and Gu Yun recalled several friends who have been in the army for generations in the family, and one by one they are stronger than him. Looking at the four brothers in the house, he is considered to be diligent in practicing martial arts every day, the eldest brother and the second cousin are dedicated to literature, and martial arts have long been abandoned all the way, at most I remember a little bit of fancy shelf, so my body bones look thinner.

Bai Ko saw the third young master's expression change, and he had the courage to add another sentence.

"Third Young Master, if you grow into a paper young master, when the eldest lady looks for Yue's family in the future, will the other party dislike you for being too weak, I'm afraid that your health is not good? The Yue family should think about their daughter, don't you say? Third Young Master? ”

"Okay, shut up, if you continue to be told, I will become a tuberculosis ghost young master."

"Third young master, the servant doesn't cheat you, with your age, height and weight and your daily activity, your meal is too small, it stands to reason that you should eat a whole roast duck and two catties of mutton shabu, two dumplings and a meal of fifty to start, the guards must have more meat than you. If you eat enough meat for these two meals during the day, the dinner maid will naturally be replaced with flower meat or white meat, but if you eat at noon in the clan, you must deal with it indiscriminately, and you can't eat enough during the day, so you have to make up for it in the morning and evening, and there is a big pot of boiled beef waiting for you tonight. ”

Gu Yun remembered the rules in the family science, all the children who entered the school, regardless of their family background or rich or poor, were treated equally, everyone ate the same lunch meal, and they were not allowed to open a small stove privately, even if he was his own grandson, he had to abide by the rules of the family science, who called his father is now the new patriarch, and he didn't want to get any privileges.

Looking at the breakfast on the table that was gradually cooling down, Gu Yun silently picked up the chopsticks again and ate them in a big gulp, and did not forget to comfort himself in his heart, fortunately, Brother Chen would come over to eat together in the evening.

Seeing that the third young master who was waiting for him was silent, Bai Ko retreated quietly.

Under the beautiful and surprised gaze, Gu Yun worked very hard to finish all the food on the table, only half a fruit plate was left, and he sat paralyzed in front of the table for a while before standing up, and before changing his clothes and going out to the clan school, he went to Jicheng Hall to say good morning to his parents as usual, and talked to his mother privately about the girl's good intentions with a full burp.

He said a bunch of reasons, in addition to what Bai Ko said last night, he also mentioned one point in particular, based on the lessons of the treasury a few days ago, the slaves have been married for generations, and now they have become a force, relying on the trust of the masters, if you don't want to weaken it now, in a few generations, I am afraid that there will be a situation where the servants are strong and the masters are weak, and at that time, most of the annual industrial revenue of the Yeguo Mansion will be fed to these slaves, and at that time it is a sign that their mansion will fall.

The eldest girl who has waited for the old lady and other big masters is an excellent marriage partner between the people in the house, and now the acting manager of the treasury, the old wife of the family is still struggling with illness, and Meilun's family already wants her to take the position of the continuation string, and her brothers can use the in-law relationship to benefit themselves.

Since Meilun belongs to the ranks of high-quality assets in the eyes of others, instead of obeying the family's arrangement to marry a fifty or sixty-year-old man, it is better for him, the young master, to be the master and let him go out to marry a lover.

The eldest lady was surprised that her son could think of this idea, but she did not object, but let him decide for himself, except for Bai Ko, the ownership of the maidens in his courtyard had already been transferred to his name, and their monthly routine went from his small account every month, and he was fully responsible for them, and if he decided to do so, he would let the news out, and stop other people's thoughts.

With his mother's words, Gu Yun touched his stomach and left with confidence.

Everyone in the small kitchen is busy tidying up at this time, the heat-insulating gloves that Bai Ko asked for Aunt Su made yesterday one day, Bai Ko felt very satisfied after trying them on, and when she was about to take them back to the room, the sewing room came to give her clothes.

In fact, there were only a few sets of practice clothes and matching shoes, and it would take some time for the arrow sleeves to be embroidered, but when they tried them on in the room, the people in the sewing room told Mrs. Bai that she had ordered her to be rewarded with a few new clothes, and Mama Pang personally picked the best material in the standard of a third-class girl.

"Bai Ko, you did a good job yesterday, Qinglei's cheap maid in the needlework room has long seen her unpleasantly, don't you just rely on the rich aunt is the third master's favorite concubine, every time she goes to the needlework room, she speaks louder than everyone else, and I don't know what she is proud of."

"Yesterday's incident, even the needlework room knows?"

"It's known to the whole house, if you don't believe it, you can go to the East Kitchen later, and see if everyone asks you."

"The third young master said that she has been punished, and this matter is over, don't mention it again."

"It's a thing of the past for you, but for us idlers, it's still going to be lively for days."

"It seems that Qinglei has offended a lot of people."

"She offended the most people on the third lady's side, she herself was sent by the third lady to serve the rich aunt, and after a long time of short manpower, she forgot who was her serious master, she really deserved it."

The people in the sewing room took care of Bai Ko's dressing, and at the same time circled her, checking whether the new clothes fit and whether there were any inappropriate places, and also used chalk to draw a few lines on the clothes as marks, and then took them off and continued to try on another set.
