Out of the ice cellar, Bai Qiao walked to the east kitchen, and when she passed by Aunt Nie's hut, she also gave her a box, and by the way, she paid a visit to her early years, and listened to her talk about the latest gossip for a while, and then entered the kitchen compound with a smile.

Bai Ko deliberately pinched the time, and everyone would be there when she made afternoon snacks for the masters, so she didn't have to run around the yard.

The remaining six boxes of popcorn in their hands were all distributed to them, Lu Doudou and the three of them naturally got one box, the stewards shared one box, the handymen also had one box, and the cooks and cooks shared the remaining three boxes.

While eating, everyone listened to Bai Ko tell them the origin of the pearl rice, and said that the third lady gave two bags, one bag of thirty catties, and left it in the Zhongming courtyard to rely on her to cook vegetables to eat, I don't know how long it will take, so I asked a handyman to go back with her to carry a bag, and teach them to make pine nut pearls while the time is early, or use it to cook miscellaneous porridge, and the east kitchen that cooks for the masters can naturally consume a whole bag in a short time.

Of course, the cooks were happy to do such a good thing, and asked about the ingredients needed for this dish, so they prepared in advance, and a powerful handyman stood up and followed Bai Ko to Zhongmingyuan to get pearl rice, and the two deliberately went around from the big garden to the mezzanine, telling the girls to avoid, and she took people into the second floor of the back cover building and carried away a bag of pearl rice.

Back in the east kitchen, the small stove has been cleaned up for Bai Ko, the ingredients she wants are all washed and prepared, the second and third class cooks and cooks go to make the master's afternoon snack, and the steward and the first-class cooks and cooks are crowded in the small stove to watch Bai Ko make this pine nut pearl.

This is really a very simple home-cooked dish, and finally thickened on the table, colorful and beautiful, brought to the long table of the big kitchen, the cooks and cooks will share the light with a small spoon each.

After that, Bai Ko taught them how to make popcorn, and after seeing how many pots they made in a decent way, she left with peace of mind, and this popcorn would be a new hospitality snack for the masters during the Chinese New Year.

When walking along the Babu Alley to Zhongmingyuan, Bai Ko met the second lady's luggage convoy, blocking the road, and there was no place for pedestrians to walk, and the people who unloaded the luggage were still muttering that the eldest young master was actually drunk and not sober, and I don't know how the future uncle's distinguished guest felt.

Bai Ko maintained a calm white paper face, in fact, her stomach was about to laugh, and she retreated for a while, winding back to Zhongming Courtyard from the sandwich road elsewhere, and she was tired to death.

After returning to the back cover building, he saw Meihuan in the pantry boiling water on the tea stove, and there was a special tea set for the prince on the side.

Gu Yun was also washing his hands and changing his face in the bedroom at this time, and when he came back, he ran into the second aunt's convoy, and in order to avoid her, he didn't dismount at the gate, but went around to the stable.

Gu Xu was still in a drunken dream, thinking that the second aunt's always dignified and noble face might be distorted, Gu Yun felt a burst of comfort in his heart.

At this moment, the second lady was indeed furious in her main room, and the old woman who had been cleared out by Gu Xu before knelt in two rows in front of the second lady, crying and crying about her grievances, the three mothers-in-law who were beaten by Bai Ko and whose faces were injured cried the loudest, and their injuries have not healed until now, and the scars can still be seen on their faces.

After listening to their accusations, the second lady was furious, those old people were specially transferred by the second lady to wait for her son before leaving, just to prevent the girls under her son from taking advantage of her mother's absence to seduce Gu Xu, the two pregnant second ladies of Tongfang thought that they deliberately poured out the decoction, not the mother-in-law who was in charge of the decoction and did not watch them drink.

In short, the second lady was most angry that her son took the initiative to replace her old man in marriage, making her the old master shameless, and secondly, Bai Ko, a cheap maid, who dared to hurt her, and then she was angry that the big woman actually pulled a bias to protect Bai Ko and punish her old servant, as for Gu Xu, who was still drunk because he drank saber wine, this is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning compared to these.

Gu Wan and Gu Chan sisters tightly pulled their mother to persuade her to calm her anger, it was useless to be angry again, it was better to spend this year well, don't make the guests laugh at home, and wait for the eldest brother to wake up and slowly persuade him to get rid of the new girl in his yard and change the old man back.

When the mothers-in-law heard the ladies say this, they hurriedly thanked them.

The second lady lost her temper like this, and finally lost her strength because of the fatigue of the journey, not to mention that she had been pampered for decades, and her physique was weak, and she couldn't withstand the excitement for a long time.

Gu Yun asked the second aunt for the reason of asking for peace, and called the four girls of the second class, in a group of two, and each time they took turns to inquire about the time when the second lady would be convenient to meet the guests.

At the interval of the fourth and a half incense sticks, the two girls who asked in the past saw those old women walking out with a proud face, and when they saw the girls of Zhongmingyuan waiting in the alley, they immediately raised their chins, and looked like a villain with someone to support them.

The girls knew that something was wrong, so they hurried back to the courtyard to tell the young master.

Gu Yun rolled his eyes, got up and walked to the study, and asked them to call Bai Ko to the study to talk.

Bai Ko was lying on her bed and was about to take a nap, but she was called up by the girls again, and hurried to the study, Qinglan retreated as usual, and chatted with everyone in the main hall next door, and the second-class girls told them about the scene they had just seen, and everyone immediately discussed the second lady together.

In the study, Gu Yun also brought Bai Ko to the chaise longue in the inner room as usual, and the two of them leaned on a lap and covered it with a blanket, talking comfortably.

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

"The second lady is home, don't you know?"

"I know, I saw her luggage cart, and it blocked Babu Alley tightly."

"The second-class girl saw the old women that Gu Xu had cleared out before, and walked out of it very proudly."

"Oh?" Bai Ko was slightly stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Laughing at what? What's so funny? ”

"The eldest young master is drunk and unconscious, the second lady will not pursue this matter, the second lady is most angry that the eldest young master dealt with the old man she left behind without authorization, and the maid injured her old servant, these two things seriously damaged her face as the old master and the second lady, she is only afraid of hatred now and wants to tear the maid. Oh, by the way, the eldest lady must have been blamed by her, you remember to remind me. ”

"Don't worry about the eldest lady, she's much more savvy than we are."

Gu Yun liked Bai Ko's cleverness the most, and he went over and kissed her on the forehead as a reward.
