"Qingliu people all aim to be Beijing officials, and after your second aunt gave birth to Gu Xu, the eldest grandson, she has been very proud in her heart for so many years. At the beginning, my husband gave me the two elder sisters, she gave me a lot of white eyes when she held her son, and she was not very convinced by my housekeeper, but fortunately, I gave birth to you two brothers later, and she gave birth to two daughters, and it was only a few years after she was settled, until Gu Xu had the name of a genius, and she began to be proud again. I know that she has always fantasized about seeing her future daughter-in-law's sedan chair carried in from the main gate of the Yeguo Mansion, who would have thought that your second uncle's current place of employment is in the field, although it is directly on the ground, but it is not the capital in the end, and then ask Gu Xu to go to his father's side to get married, your second aunt must be angry. ”

"Gu Xu is just the eldest grandson, not the son, why should he use our Yeguo Mansion to support his marriage, besides, it's just that the son got married, but he asked the old father to take a long vacation, rushed back to the capital from afar, and hurried back to the wedding after the wedding. Hmph, there are many officials waiting to fill the vacancy at home, and any official position on the ground is so bloody that it will be tossed so much for the sake of the second aunt's face, just wait for the book of the complaint to fly all over the sky. ”

"Your second uncle is definitely not so stupid, at his current age, he can still fight hard in the officialdom, from his fifth rank to the fifth grade, or even from the fourth grade, it is possible, he will not let your second aunt Hu ruin his future."

"However, take precautions, and when the second uncle arrives home, I still ask my father to beat the side drum with the second uncle."

"You don't need to say that your father will do this, in officialdom, he is much more sophisticated than you."

"How will the future brother-in-law entertain you tonight? The third sister said, the second aunt has stopped from the fatigue of the journey, and I haven't seen any guests, and I haven't gone to greet you all afternoon. ”

"What?!" The eldest lady's brows furrowed deeply, "I invited a distinguished guest to my home, and I dare to snub the guest if the marriage is not completed?!" ”

"The second aunt must not have expected Gu Xu to suddenly get drunk and couldn't wake up, originally Gu Xu was doing this thing."

"It's your intention, if the future in-laws have a mustard in their hearts and let the marriage go to waste, your second aunt will hate you to death."

"Well, I don't expect to have much affection for them anyway." Gu Yun raised his eyebrows like a scoundrel, "Shall we pay attention to that distinguished guest?" Otherwise, it will be left to dry, although it is the face of her second room that is lost, but it can be said that it is the Yeguo Mansion. ”

"Gu Wan and Gu Chan didn't come to me to greet me this afternoon, the three of them were really interesting, they brought guests home for the New Year, and they found that they couldn't entertain and didn't say a word."

"Bai Ko is already preparing to cook dinner, and if my grandmother comes out to entertain the guests, I will go back and ask her to add a few more dishes."

"Wait a minute, your father is almost home, let him think about what to do, you can't just let your grandmother entertain a foreigner, that's not suitable, you have to be accompanied by your father."

"That's right, then I'll go back first, and if I want to add food, hurry over and say."

"Okay, you go first."

Gu Yun quit his mother and went out, and when he walked to the small kitchen, he saw that Bai Qiao was still sitting in the cafeteria watching the girls do things, this time he walked in on tiptoe and looked at the spicy pot to see what was delicious inside.

Bai Ko asked someone to bring him a pair of clean dishes and chopsticks, and let him do whatever he wanted.

Gu Yun was half full, wiped his mouth and went back to his house to rest, at that time Bai Qiao had already washed his hands and dressed neatly into the stove room.

The eldest lord went home on time, and the housekeeper welcomed him at the gate, and first reported that the second lady had arrived home and brought the distinguished guest, but Uncle Xu had been drunk and had not woken up, and the second lady and the young ladies did not come out to say how to entertain this distinguished guest, so I had to ask the eldest master what to do, and I couldn't be left aside by the master on the first night when I came from afar.

After listening to the narration of the housekeeper, the eldest lord walked into the main room of his Jicheng Hall with an incomprehensible expression, the eldest lady was already waiting for her husband to arrive home in the bedroom, and the girls quietly retreated after sending hot water and hot tea, and the lady waited for the master to wash his hands and clean his face and change his clothes.

After the couple greeted each other a few words, the eldest lady helped her husband remove the heavy coat on his body, and the eldest man walked to the wash basin while washing his hands while telling his wife about the future uncle in the second room, and asked his wife if she knew that people had been hanging in the front yard guest room.

The eldest lady immediately had an innocent and dazed expression on her face.

"Huh? And what's going on? I haven't heard of it. The three of them knew that the mother and daughter had come back, but since Gu Wan and Gu Chan arrived home, they have never been here or to Lao Taijun, and no one has ever mentioned to me that there are outsiders at home. ”

"It's weird, what does the second room mean? Don't plan to marry this in-laws? ”

"Why don't you send someone to the second room to ask? The guests they brought back, naturally they were the first to entertain them first, maybe they had already told them that they had already rested tonight and didn't mention anything? ”

When the eldest lady saw that her husband had finished washing his hands, she replaced the washbasin and put on a washbasin with clean and hot water.

"No, if it's right, the butler won't ask me how I entertained that guest tonight."

"Huh? The second room is stupid, right? Are the guests you brought back really hanging out like this? ”

The old man wet the face towel, bent down and scooped up water and wiped a few handfuls on his face, closed his eyes and wrung the towel to dry his face in one go, sighed, put the face towel on the beam of the basin shelf, turned to the table and sat down to drink tea.

"As the head of the family, since I know about this, I have to ask, otherwise people will have to complain about my Yeguo Mansion if they are neglected, why should I eat this."

"The master is right, then send someone to the second room to ask, if they can't entertain, ask the mother-in-law to come forward, you go to be a companion, and I will ask Bai Ko to see if I can add a few dishes."

"Let's do it first."

The eldest lady nodded in response, opened the door and went out to call Mama Pang and Jinquat to give instructions, Jinquat immediately went to the second room, and Mama Pang went to Rongentang to tell the old man that there was a preparation.

Both of them asked in the name of the eldest master, because the chief housekeeper would definitely say that if he didn't say it, it would be a dereliction of duty, and how could he say nothing to the head of the family when the family came to such a big thing as the future in-laws.

I heard that the eldest grandson's future in-laws came to the house as a guest for the New Year, and the old man needed to come forward to entertain him, the old lady responded very happily, and specially instructed Pang's mother to tell Bai Ko to make yesterday's pine nut pearls and three non-sticky, because these two dishes have a bright yellow color, and they look good on the table.

Mother Pang responded with a smile, returned to Jichengtang to resume her life, and then sent the girl to the wine cellar to get some good wine, and she immediately went to find Bai Ko.
