The next day, Bai Ko was busy in the new kitchen, the square yard, the stove room, the baking room, the charcoal room, the storage room, the utensils room are all available, as if the east kitchen is reduced and stuffed here, and the stove room can be squeezed into the stove room no matter how many people can turn, the ventilation is good and the light is bright.

Looking at the clean and tidy new kitchen, Bai Ko was in a good mood, and picked a duck from the ingredients sent from the warehouse to make a crispy duck that showed the chef's skills.

In the afternoon, the sixth young master came back from the clan study, and after seeing his mother, he ran to the new kitchen, and only when he entered the courtyard door he smelled the fragrance of fresh chicken cakes baked, and the little young master smiled happily.

The second young master and the third young master suffered in the tribute courtyard for nine days, and Bai Ko made all kinds of new dishes in the new kitchen for at least seven days.

Although the east kitchen is gone, Zeng Zhu no longer gives her work, and the task of the temporary deputy is over, but she gets the name of a superintendent, mainly responsible for coming up with a new menu, and by the way, she will re-teach the detained cooks and cooks.

A third-class young chef came to guide the old chefs to restore their passion, and they had to obey if they were not satisfied.

On August 15, the last day of autumn, every candidate was exhausted and haggard, and the entrance of the Gongyuan still could not be parked, but it was crowded with the family members or families of local candidates.

The Guogong Mansion naturally sent people to go, Gu Yun and Gu Jing met in the tribute courtyard first, and as soon as they stepped out of the gate, they were seen by the sharp-eyed family members, stepped forward to take the bags in the hands of the young masters, hugged them and walked to the outer street, got in the car and went home.

The carriage entered Babu Lane directly from the side door, put down Gu Jing first, and then sent Gu Yun to the door of Zhong Ming Courtyard.

Meilun, Meihuan, Xiaoqian and Xiaojing were waiting at the door, and when they saw the carriage stopped, Meilun Meihuan stepped forward to welcome the young master and got out of the car and walked in first, Xiaoqian and Xiaojing followed behind with their bags.

Gu Yun glanced at Aunt Su and the little girls who were waiting in the second hall, and found that the number of people was wrong, and they had already entered his main courtyard.

"Why are you still an old man? What about newcomers? ”

"Wait for the young master to pick, there are too many candidates." Milun replied in a whisper.

"It would be nice to let Bai Ko settle down."

"She doesn't do it, she has to wait for the young master to pick and choose, pick what you like, they are serving you, and it is only right that you are satisfied."

"What about her? Why didn't you greet me in the courtyard? ”

"She's preparing dinner in the kitchen next door, and tonight's festival feast is set up in Rong En Hall, with a lot of new dishes in season."

For the sake of having new dishes tonight, Gu Yun didn't care about Bai Ko's lazy behavior of not picking newcomers, and stayed in the tribute courtyard for nine days, and he now misses the taste of porridge and side dishes very much.

The five masters and servants hurriedly went to the platform of the main room, turned to the bedroom, Xiao Qian and Xiao Jing temporarily put their bags on the Luohan couch in the outer room, and then went out from the verandah to the easternmost ear room, which was the bathroom, and mixed the hot and cold water that had been prepared long ago into suitable warm water in the bath bucket.

The four rooms in this section of the bedroom, the outside looks like a pattern of two bright and two dark, but the inside is connected, the ear room next to the bedroom has been changed into a walk-in wardrobe under the strong construction of Bai Ko, specially customized clothes rails and hangers, all the clothes inside and outside the four seasons are classified, can be hung and folded, according to the wearing occasion and color.

The quilt cabinet is on the top of the head, the double-door wardrobe does not need to change the drawer, the drawer is put into the hand-knitted rattan basket of the right size to put the middle coat and pants, close-fitting clothes and bits and pieces, the small basket used to put socks and calf nose is also divided with bamboo pieces, a basket can put four pairs of socks or two calf nose robes, the upper drawer is being worn, the new lower layer drawer, open the drawer neatly and neatly at a glance.

When this walk-in closet was completely tidied up, it alarmed the old lady and the three ladies to visit together, and then the ladies and girls in the house also came to visit one after another.

The wardrobe is connected to the bedroom at one end and the bathroom at the other, and a curtain hangs between the two doors, which completely covers the walk-in closet and becomes a window corridor leading from the bedroom to the bathroom.

Gu Yun took off his coat under the beautiful waiting, and was stunned when he walked into the ear room wearing only his middle coat, and he was stunned for a while before going to the bathroom.

The bathroom has also been separated from wet and dry, several screens are blocked left and right, separated from different functional partitions, and the outdoor peeking is also eliminated, and a few customized storage carts are placed, the wide lower layer is a dirty laundry basket, and the narrower upper layer is placed with bath towels and bath supplies.

Gu Yun finished freshening up in his brand-new and somewhat unfamiliar bathroom, and the girls helped him dry his hair into a bun, put on new clothes, and went to Jichengtang to meet his parents through the kitchen.

Today's holiday, the officials in the Department of Etiquette were finally allowed to go home for the holiday, but they could not come back after arriving at the official office early tomorrow morning, and the ban was not officially lifted until the release of the list in early September.

I chatted with my parents about this year's exam questions and my own answering ideas, and the old man touched his beard and did not comment.

"Your eldest brother won the boy's test and the fame of raising people within a year, and was called a prodigy, if you and your second brother also won the lift, then there are three teenagers in our family, outsiders will call us a three-prodigy, I don't think it's such a lucky thing, your second brother is two years longer than you, he can still fight, maybe he really hit. You should be an experience, relax and relax in the past few days, and then make the next step when the list is released, and see if you will go to Fuxue to study for a few years. ”

"Yes, Daddy."

"Okay, my son just came back, don't make him nervous again." The eldest lady interjected with a smile, "It's getting late, we should go to your grandmother's." ”

The family of four then got up and went to Rong En Hall.

The old lady and the young master and the young lady gathered together, the banquet opened three tables, the table of the young ladies entertained themselves in the warm pavilion, the fresh shrimp and crab in the season is the protagonist of the festival banquet, the old man and the lady have tasted it these days, the young master and the young lady feel extremely fresh, eat very happy, the old man who has been locked up in the government office for half a month also likes it tightly, every dish is delicious.

Gu Jing and Gu Yun, who were also in dire need of fresh food, were both immersed in eating, had no time to talk, and were teased by their elders and brothers.

At the end of the family banquet, everyone sat in the courtyard eating seasonal fresh fruits and gossiping about homely things, which made the old lady laugh constantly, and finally because he was distressed about the hard work of the two grandchildren's exams, he sent the children and grandchildren back to the house to rest.

After the eldest lord's family of four returned to Jicheng Hall, they rested separately, and Gu Yun returned to Zhongming Courtyard from the kitchen, he specially noticed that there was only a maid and servant woman boiling hot water in the kitchen, and Bai Ko was not there.

Out of the kitchen on the aisle, Gu Yun stretched out his long legs and stepped up the steps of the corner door, standing in the verandah of his main courtyard, and then raised his eyes to see, on the porch outside the study, Bai Ko was standing there bored and yawning, and her figure was slender and slim in the moonlight, and she had faintly shown the posture of a girl.

Gu Yun quietly approached with a wicked smile on his face.
