Bai Ko's seafood banquet was prepared for three or four days, and all the masters in the mansion, including the concubines, had a share, because during the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the concubines could also sit at a table alone.

After setting the day of the seafood banquet, although Gu Yun went out to play polo with friends that day, he went home early in the afternoon, and there was a surprise when he got home, and the second and third masters arrived home a little earlier than him.

There has always been a tradition in the officialdom of the Zhili territory, acquiescing to the local officials in the capital to return to Beijing a few days in advance for the New Year, so after the two masters finished their affairs, they handed over the official office to the local county officials, and they traveled lightly from their respective places of service to the fast horse, which arrived home early.

But when these two masters arrived home, they were naturally angry and happy.

The second old man's buttocks were not hot, so he first heard about the housework in the house in the past few days, and his nose was almost crooked, Gu Wan and Gu Chan's two daughters hurriedly pulled him and persuaded him not to quarrel with his mother.

Although Gu Xu has been tortured by hangover in the past few days, he has finally fully recovered, although he has a stomach full of dissatisfaction with the girl who killed and injured him by his mother, but as a filial son, he can't embarrass his mother for a few subordinates, except for saying goodbye in the morning and evening, he no longer steps into the main house under the pretext of recuperation.

The second old man felt sorry for his son's sins in the past few days, and it didn't matter if he was drunk with a saber and couldn't meet Gan Yuwen, and it didn't matter if he was so tossed by his mother that the second old man was angry, and he was angry that his wife was so confused when she was old, and now it's good, she ruined her own reputation, and also smeared the lintel of the Guogong Mansion.

The second lady didn't have a good face when she saw that her husband had just come back, and she sat in the bedroom crying, and the second old man was so annoyed that he hurriedly changed his clothes and went to Rong'en Hall to greet the old mother, and met his third brother who had already arrived for a while.

The two brothers greeted each other, and the third master first said hello to the second brother, Pingzhou Gan's family is a good family, and Gu Xu can marry the daughter of the eldest house, which is his best blessing.

Hearing the four words of Pingzhou Gan's family, the third old man felt empty, and he would definitely invite Gan Yuwen to his house as a guest during the Chinese New Year, and he had to be careful not to hear any rumors, fortunately, the two families were only filial piety, and people did not dislike Gu Xu was already in his early twenties, otherwise he would definitely be picked.

The third old man saw that the second brother's face was wrong, and knew what he was worried about, so he didn't want to stimulate him anymore, so he sat down for a while and quit his mother and brother and went back to rest.

The old lady sent the girls to retreat together, and had a good talk with the two sons, asking him to think clearly about the future of their father and son, but he couldn't let his daughter-in-law drag the family back.

"Son, you can remember, when your mother is old, your three brothers are going to split up, if you cause too much trouble to your eldest brother now, don't blame him for not taking care of you in the future, for the glory of Ye Guogong's plaque, he has his duty, don't always test his patience again and again."

"My son understands, my mother can rest assured."

The second master promised again and again, and sat for a while before resigning, but he still didn't talk to his wife, and only called his son to the study, and told Gu Xu about the family history of the Gan family in Pingzhou.

Gu Xu himself is also very concerned about this kind of thing, and he knows what to do without his father telling him, but he has only recovered from a hangover and has not had time to write.

The father and son talked about the family routine, and then rested separately for a while, and before dinner, the husband and wife and the concubine set off together to eat at Rong En Hall and try the seafood feast.

Bai Ko led the chefs and ladies of the East Kitchen to perfectly manage a few tables of seafood, all the masters of all sizes were happy to eat, the seashell soup was quite popular, the soup on each table was drunk cleanly, the third master and the third lady kept boasting, saying that they had never drunk this delicious seashell soup in the local area, and it must be included in the signature menu, but all the guests had to go to it again.

The second and third masters were also in a hurry, and the family picked up the wind and washed the dust for them by the way, and the whole family ended the happy dinner happily.

Bai Ko's order had already been given to the subordinates, and the girls who were waiting closely paid close attention to whether the young master had symptoms of seafood discomfort, and Gu Yun himself felt good about himself, so he took a hot bath and fell asleep.

But in the second half of the night, the second lady woke up from her sleep, lit the lamp and got up to check, and found that there were small red rashes on her arms and back, which were unbearable.

The second master asked the girls to wait for his wife to dress, and then shouted to prepare the car, and asked Gu Xu to accompany him, and urgently sent his wife to the hospital.

The second lady was still not willing to go to the hospital, she didn't want to go to that kind of strange place to be checked by strangers, and resolutely only asked the doctor to go home to see her, the second master scolded her a few words, and asked her son to forcibly carry his mother into the carriage and set off with the maidservant.

After tossing for a while, watching the carriage leave, the lights finally turned off in the main courtyard of the second room one after another and fell asleep again.

After dawn, the whole house learned that the second lady was sent to the hospital overnight and has not returned to the hospital.

After hearing this, Bai Ko repeatedly confirmed with Pang's mother that only the second lady went to see a doctor, so she calmly began to prepare the soup of Burning Fu Shouquan, and also made a small increase or decrease in the Chinese New Year's Eve menu in her heart, in addition to the soup and two more seafood dishes, the second lady should now avoid eating seafood, others still have to eat it.

After preparing all the seafood ingredients for the stewed soup, Bai Ko went back to the room and wrote a new Chinese New Year's Eve menu and presented it to the eldest lady, who felt that there were only two seafood hot dishes too little, and added a cold dish on top, so she accepted the menu and prepared to take it to her mother-in-law, and she must wait for the old parent to nod, and the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was officially decided.

Guan Xiumei and the four of them heard that the second lady was seeking medical treatment overnight, so they ran to the ladies and blamed Bai Ko, it was all her business, if she didn't say that she would have made this seafood banquet, how would it hurt the second lady to go to the doctor.

Gu Wan and Gu Chan were already worried about their mother's body, and felt that what they said was quite reasonable, so they were a little dissatisfied with Bai Ko.

The second lady finally returned home from the hospital in the evening, Gu Xu first went to tell her father about her mother's condition, the doctor diagnosed her condition as not strict, and the rash would go away in a few days if she took the medicine well, and the second lady took off her clothes and sat on the bed with a serious illness and complained to her daughters that the palace maid in the hospital had an arrogant attitude and rude actions, and she was uncomfortable from head to toe.

The daughters felt sorry for their mother's sin for so long, and hurriedly called the girl to prepare hot water for Mrs. to freshen up, and scolded Bai Ko according to her mother's words.

When the second lady heard her daughters say this, she also felt that she had to blame Bai Ko, and she made another note in her heart, and sooner or later she cleaned her up.
