Chapter 143: Ou's crying
"What is the situation with your four nephews and daughters-in-law?"
"The nephew and daughter-in-law don't intercede for their father-in-law, don't cause trouble to the government and the grandfather of the country, they just want to let Hui'er have a shelter and keep her growing up safely. I beg the old lady to allow me to foster care for Gu Hui, and all her expenses will be borne by me. ”
"What did you say! As the eldest daughter-in-law, how can your family not have a place for your daughter, and you still have to be fostered in our national mansion? ”
"Does the old lady think that the situation of our family is really suitable for raising children well? Our husband and wife have been married for more than ten years and only have this one child, and they have developed this appearance, and my mother-in-law cries at home every day and is about to break the heir, blaming me for not giving her a few more golden grandchildren. But can I really blame it? Ou gave up the face of his eldest daughter-in-law, regardless of the principle of filial piety, and cried about the sad things in the family.
The old lady and the eldest lady looked at each other speechless for a while.
Gu Yun looked at his cousin Gu Hui's expressionless face, and with an idea, he pointed to a girl, "Go to the two of you, go to Wenling Courtyard and the East Kitchen separately, and call Bai Ko here." ”
The first-class girls standing on both sides of the hall immediately came out, and the two of them quickly searched for someone.
"Don't worry, auntie, wait for your nephew's special cook to come over, listen to what she has to say, you get up first and have a cup of tea, calm down."
Gu Yun said this with a smile, and immediately the two girls stepped forward to pick up Ou Shi, helped him to sit down on the chair, and then put down a cup of tea in her hand.
"How good is Shizi's chef? Still want to listen to her? "Ou's love is so interrupted by Gu Yun that he can't get on the road.
"My cousin hopes to foster my sister, and I also hope that she can recuperate her body, and we are not good at this, so it is better to listen to the advice of the cook."
The old lady and the eldest lady looked at each other suspiciously, not knowing what Gu Yun's idea was, but they didn't expose his face on the spot, but followed the child's words and persuaded Ou to buy some tea and snacks.
The girl who went to look for people found the east kitchen all the way, Bai Ko grabbed a roast pigeon leg with one hand and gnawed it fragrantly, heard Rong Entang have an urgent matter to ask her, swallowed the pigeon meat in three or two bites, washed her hands and wiped her mouth and followed the girl out.
Out of Aunt Nie's door, walking in the straight narrow alley, Bai Xin asked the reason why she was in such a hurry to find her, and took the girl to the ice cellar first to take away a box of candy and half an ice pack.
The candy box was packed in an ice pack and rushed to Rong En Hall as quickly as possible, Bai Ko entered the door to salute the old lady and the young master and lady present, and the girls helped her open the sugar box, poured half a bag of ice into the ice tray, and put the most softened lactose on the ice tray.
Listening to the girl's description of Miss Gu Hui's behavior along the way, Bai Ko somewhat understood the situation of this little girl, but when she saw a living person with her own eyes, she found that her imagination was still too weak.
The perverted vegetarian habits of the third old lady, most of the eldest granddaughter is useless.
Ou was also taken aback when he saw Bai Ko come in, "This is the chef of the prince?" How old is this? ”
"If Mrs. Hui speaks, the maid is thirteen years old, from the Yachifang Cooking School, and has studied art for five years." Bai Ko said humbly and respectfully.
"I don't believe it! Can a girl who is thirteen years old grow so tall?! ”
Ou raised his hand to compare Bai Ko's height, and then looked at his daughter, suddenly his heart ached, tears flowed, and he bit the handkerchief to hold back his crying.
The old lady and the eldest lady sighed silently.
Two girls of almost the same age, one is just a cook, the other is the eldest daughter of an official eunuch, but the little chef is a head taller than this official lady, it is not difficult to imagine how this is caused.
"Bai Ko, how should you take care of my sister to bring her body bones back?" Gu Yun broke the stiff silence and turned the topic to the business of calling Bai Ko.
"Miss Hui's body bones should first ask the imperial doctor to check the pulse, and prescribe a prescription to see what medicine to take and what to do, if you have to give an opinion to the maidservant now, Miss Hui's appearance today is caused by the lack of meat since childhood."
Ou suddenly let out a sad whimper from behind the handkerchief covering his mouth, and everyone present couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
"It's going to take a long time, isn't it?" Gu Yundai's elders asked.
"Miss Hui has not eaten meat for more than ten years, and if you want to save her life, she has to resume eating meat, and her whole body and organs have to make new adaptations in order to restrain meat, which is not something that can be recovered in a day or two, and this recovery process may be more difficult and painful."
"My sister vomited once at the table today."
"Vomit?" Bai Ko glanced at Gu Hui sympathetically, "The survival instinct of life and the habits of life since childhood are about to tear Miss Hui in half." ”
"Don't be a god who speaks human words." Gu Yun glared at Bai Ke.
"Third Young Master, do you want to listen to the truth?"
Ou's body trembled violently, and he hugged his daughter tightly into his arms, they talked so lively, Gu Yi still looked at a certain place on the floor with straight eyes, and did not react at all.
Pang's mother waved her hand at the first-class girls in a playful manner, and all the girls immediately withdrew.
"Okay, there's no outsider who shouldn't listen, tell your truth."
"Third Young Master, I don't like to tell the truth, do you want to protect this lady first?"
"No, no, no matter how ugly the truth is, I can hold it, just say it." Au took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.
"Old lady, eldest lady, third young master, madam, for Miss Hui's physical condition, the maid thinks that there is only one sentence to conclusion, Miss Hui is basically a waste, and it is a miracle that she can survive until now."
After a few inhalations of different lengths, the room fell into a short silence, Bai Ko looked at Gu Hui, went to the table to open the candy box, took out two lollipops made of maltose, and stretched one out in front of Gu Hui, before attracting Gu Hui's attention to the candy.
Bai Ko licked her own one, Ou reached out to take the one for her daughter, Bai Ko's hand flashed, and Ou had to withdraw her hand and ask her daughter to take the candy.
Gu Hui's reaction was extremely slow, and she didn't see the joy of sweets at all, and Bai Xin was half-squatting in front of her to coax her to take the candy, like a horse step, and after a while, the eldest lady finally reached out and took it, and licked it very carefully.
"Even the strictest vegetarians don't refuse sugar and salt, so there is a kind of people in the world called vegetarian fat people, hasn't Miss Hui even eaten sweets since she was a child?"
Ou couldn't say anything except shake his head.
Bai Ko licked the lollipop and stood silently behind Gu Yun.
"Ou's, do the family know about your foster daughter's decision?" The old lady opened her mouth.
"I know, no one objected, anyway, no one liked my family Ei'er, disgusted that she was dry, thin, weak and inactive, stupid in brain, slow in learning, and said that I was stupid. Brother Hong, the eldest son of the second siblings, is the biggest treasure in the family, but the second siblings have always complained about them, and only take the children back to visit them during the New Year's Day. ”
"What is the trouble of your family, making the children and grandchildren restless."
"They broke my body, and now they dislike me for not being able to give birth to a son, they have never loved me, so why should I think about them anymore, the most important thing is that my Ei'er can live. Old lady, please save her, I don't want her to get married and have children, my dowry can afford her life for the rest of her life, I just ask the old lady to give her a place to live. ”
Ou's tone was full of mother's despair and resentment towards her husband's family.
