Chapter 437: Some Things Don't Be Done
"My name is Bai Ko, what do you have to do with me?"
"Your eldest sister owes us a debt, and she can't pay it back, saying that she asked you to pay it for her."
"There has never been such a thing, I have never received a letter from my eldest sister, she said that it is my eldest sister, you believe it, what kind of brain do you have?"
"Hey! Why not! She's right! Why aren't you sisters? The creditors cried out.
"I was confiscated into the official maid before I was eight years old, and now I am famous, and I am not the only one who claims to be my relatives and relatives, and there is no definite evidence that makes me believe that I am a relative, and I want to pay off the debt instead, do you think that the masters of the Yeguo Mansion are all fools and stupid? Use a brainless fool to be the steward of the world? Bai Ko replied sternly.
One by one, the creditors stopped working, and they shouted and insisted that it was Bai Rui, the eldest sister of Bai Ko, who asked them to ask for debts.
Bai Ko didn't talk to them, and with a wave of his hand, the guards immediately gathered and surrounded them in the middle, Bai Ko bypassed the crowd and entered the eight-step alley through the side door, deaf to the cries of pain that sounded behind him.
When the people in the house talked about this matter, they also felt that those people were not like words, and they dared to come to the door to collect debts without any evidence.
When Pang's mother heard these rumors, she asked Bai Qiao to inquire.
Bai Ko didn't hide it from her, and told her that she did have an eldest sister named Bai Rui, but this name was not obscure, it was a common woman's name, and she came over with white teeth to say that she was the creditor of her eldest sister, and asked her to repay the debt on behalf of her sister, how could there be such a beautiful thing.
Pang's mother looked sympathetic and comforted Bai Ko that she is now famous in the capital, everyone knows that it was she who fought bravely to save the emperor and grandson of the East Palace during the Chinese New Year, so her life experience is also widely known, and there is no way to be impersonated by some shameless villains, fortunately, this is the Yeguo Mansion, outsiders can't come in and harass her, if there is really something, the eldest lady will also support her.
Sent away Pang's mother, Bai Ko found the locked secret box he hid in the innermost part of the cabinet in Shizi's study, the key to unlocking the lock was on her, she had a key to any lock in Zhongming Courtyard, Qinglan watched her find the secret box and didn't dare to ask what she was looking for, questioning the white steward to do things to let the young master know, it was not the white steward who was unlucky.
The two rules of Zhongmingyuan are implemented thoroughly by everyone.
Bai Ko took the secret box back to his room, opened it and found the contact information of his aunt Bai Qiaoyue and his uncle Tang Lin from inside, which was a very normal mailing address.
Regardless of whether Bai Rui is Bai Rui's eldest sister or not, since this name has appeared, it is good to check it, and you can do things with a good idea.
Tang Lin and Bai Qiaoyue went to check the current living situation of the eldest niece Bai Rui It was not difficult at all, and it took three days to give Bai Rui a detailed reply, and found out that Bai Rui's recent situation was very bad, after the accident at home, Bai Rui's status in her husband's family declined, and the daughter she gave birth to was also disliked in every way at home, and her husband died of epidemic disease the following year, and her in-laws swept Bai Rui's mother and daughter out of the house just after the funeral. At the same time, he also owes a lot of debts because of this.
Bai Rui will suddenly let the creditor come to the Yeguo Mansion to find Bai Ko, because Bai Ko and the prince took away Liu Qiang and Liu Zhuang brothers and their families in Chunhefang a few days ago, such a big gossip has spread all over the workshop, Bai Rui naturally heard it, and finally knew Bai Ko's identity, so those creditors were indeed called by Bai Rui, but they were beaten by the guards of the Ye Guo Mansion, and after returning to Bai Rui to settle accounts, threatening to sell their mother and daughter to the secret prostitution kiln together.
After reading the letter, Bai Ko was even more unhappy, Bai Rui was in a bad condition recently, if she came to ask for help in person, her attitude should be sincere, for the sake of the deity's shell, Bai Ko might help her repay her debts, but at this time, she didn't say hello, and directly sent the creditor to ask for money, then she deserved to be a sister who didn't recognize people.
After deciding to ignore it, Bai Ko put the letter away, returned to the table and sat down, thought about it, and took out a pen and paper to write a letter to his uncle and aunt with silver taels, asking them to simply investigate all the current situation of the Bai family's existing in-laws and relatives at one time, so as to save the next time there is a similar thing, she doesn't know anything, and repeatedly falls into passivity.
Bai Qiao knew that this investigation was time-consuming, the relatives lived all over the city, Tang Lin and Bai Qiaoyue had to go from house to house, and the weather in this spring was unstable, and from time to time there was a rainstorm that made it impossible for people to go out, and she estimated that it would take a month to learn about the current situation of all her relatives.
In this patient waiting, this year's Spring Festival test finally ended, Gu Yun returned home and rested for two days, then packed his luggage and brought people and horses, and at the invitation of the palace chief, he went to his house to play in Wentang Zhuangzi in the suburbs with a group of buddies and brothers for a few days.
Bai Ko brought Miao'er and Feihua this time, and Lu Doudou and the three girls, she was in charge of the young masters alone, and Lu Doudou was responsible for the diet of her and other attendants, and the three of them never stopped talking in the carriage along the way, and they had been chatting excitedly, and they were fortunate to follow to participate in the winter hunt last year, and they were already very enviable last year, and this year they were able to follow to Wentang Zhuangzi to wait, and it is inevitable to fantasize about whether they can do the position of kitchen steward in the future with this qualification.
Everyone has brought a lot of entourage, along the way the team seems to be mighty, so the foot is also slow, Zhuangzi is built on the mountain again, and a large group of them arrive at the foot of the mountain, the sky is already dark, it is very dangerous to go up the mountain overnight, fortunately there is a small courtyard of the Yanwang Mansion at the foot of the mountain specially used to temporarily rest, everyone rests for one night, and then sets off early the next morning, and finally arrives at Zhuangzi in the afternoon, and settles down separately.
This Zhuangzi is used to soak in warm soup, large and small hot water pools can be seen everywhere, even the room is directly introduced into the natural hot spring to wash the face and wash hands, several noble main houses are built with large soup pools, and even you can go to the back mountain to soak in the spring, the mountain roads are repaired very smooth, how to enjoy how you want to enjoy.
The palace chief followed the Zhuangzi to call people, took the buddies and brothers to the mountain to play, and asked the little maids to wait with him, so Bai Ko and the girls took the opportunity to enjoy themselves in the soup pool in the house, comfortable and tired.
In the evening, these gentlemen came back for dinner, shouting that Bai Ko would write a recipe for everyone, because when he soaked in warm soup during the day, Gu Yun's delicate muscles were enviable, full of strength but not exaggerated, and they heard Gu Yun say that his beautiful muscles were actually related to diet conditioning, these young masters set off a monstrous sea of vinegar, and they were so jealous that they pressed Gu Yun into the water, forcing him to agree to lend Bai Ko to them.
Bai Ko didn't mind writing a few recipes, just asked them to undress and show her figure.
Gu Yun blew up on the spot, and sent Bai Ko back to the kitchen, not allowing her to pay attention to such boring idle things.
