Chapter 235: Who is more wilted
Gu Yun calmly ate dinner, as usual, after a short rest, he went out to say goodnight to the elders, deliberately stayed in Jicheng Hall for a while, and when he returned to Zhongming Courtyard, he called Bai Ko to the study to talk.
The girls are far away, in their opinion, talking in the study is a serious matter, and the people below don't listen if they can't listen.
Bai Ko stepped into the study, there was no one on the desk under the window, and then he heard a cough, only to see Gu Yun sitting on the bottom bookshelf, talking here, even if someone was sticking under the window, he couldn't hear it.
"What does the prince command?"
Gu Yun raised her head, and saw that although Bai Ko's expression was calm, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows had no lively and naughty color, knowing that she must have been worried about this matter all day, so she put down a book she was holding casually, hooked her fingers to ask Bai Ko to step forward, and naturally circled her on her lap.
"I heard that you have relatives coming to your door today?"
"It may be that the officers of Yingtianfu leaked the information of the witnesses, and I heard that as long as the money is enough, they can say a word. But whether they are relatives or not, it remains to be investigated in detail, grandfather Bai Yehong and his party have been exiled, and the female dependents who have not been implicated have to testify to each other if they want to prove that they are the Bai family, and they have to go back to their hometowns to ask the old neighbors to testify, and the big housekeeper sent someone to check the files in the yamen room during the day, and the exact news will have to wait for a day or two or two or three days. The maid didn't have much impression of the aunts, but she clearly remembered that a few months before the accident at home, the eldest sister got married, and on the day of the cabinet, those of us who were younger sisters surrounded my sister to make up, because it was too messy and was coaxed out by the elders. So after the accident, among the sisters of the same generation, only this eldest sister escaped, but the brother-in-law did not know who the family was and where the maid was, and I thought that the person who married at that time should be the right person. ”
Gu Yun listened silently and rubbed Bai Ko's head.
"What if they are really your aunt and uncle? What are you going to do? ”
"Does the prince want the servant to have two more relatives like this?"
"Of course not!"
"If it's really an aunt and uncle, then check their family backgrounds in detail, with the gold-lettered signboard of the imperial kitchen, the aunts must be looking for the right family when they get married, why did this uncle fall into such a situation and do the trick of setting up a scam for others."
"What if, I mean, what if, what if? People like them are bound to be like paste, sticking to them and not letting go, and if they don't do it, they will make a big deal of it outside, and if you are pulled away by them, I am not happy. ”
"It's good to preach, but if it's a true relative, I'm afraid they won't preach it."
"Why?"
"The maid is the steward of the prince of Yeguo, the second person in the mansion of the Duke of Yeguo, such a status naturally has many benefits, obviously you can enjoy the secret and get benefits, why should you sue other relatives to share your own interests?"
"And if they're real relatives and decide to keep it to themselves?"
"In order to prevent them from causing big trouble to the servant in the future, the servant will naturally strike first."
Bai Ko's eyes wandered, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and in Gu Yun's eyes, he only felt that the killing intent was cold, and there was a cold air behind him.
"In a ghost place like Yachifang, good girls have learned badly, and they will shout and kill at every turn."
"Letting potential dangers go is the most stupid thing to do, and the servants can't give them the opportunity to cause trouble outside under the banner of the Yeguo Mansion. There are short-sighted people in this world, who only stare at the profit in front of them, and do not look at the nine points of profit in the distance, as long as that profit goes into their own pocket, it is none of their business what kind of loss others suffer, and they will not think about whether they will continue to gain after hurting others, just care about the present today, which cares about tomorrow and the future. People who set up scams to make a living, are accustomed to making quick money, only have the ability to calculate a game of winning or losing, can't make a long-term plan, and rely on cheating to support a winning team to gamble on the periphery, which is already a very brain-consuming and time-consuming gamble for many scammers. ”
"I don't see it that way."
"Please also ask the prince for advice."
"Playing polo is the sixth day of the ninth month, today is only thirteen, only seven days before and after, that guy didn't squat, just hit the board, and can already walk on the ground, it can be seen that he has left himself too clean in this scam, in order to avoid being retaliated by his accomplices afterwards, he has to save his life first."
In other words, if they are true relatives, should the servant be kind to them? The maid is not familiar with them, and he doesn't remember that there is such an aunt at all, not to mention that the maid is now an official maid, and she can't climb up to civilian relatives. ”
"Don't worry, wait for the results of the investigation to come out, they are old fritters who often go in and out of the official prison, they are familiar with the laws and regulations, and they will do some things that are not on the table, since they dare to come to the door in broad daylight to say that it is your aunt and uncle, there must be conclusive evidence to dare to do this."
"So you believe they are real relatives? Want to keep it for yourself? ”
"Real villains like them can't cause big trouble for a while, don't forget that we also have a primary goal of killing the Wuhou of Yachifang and cleaning up the gang that has a grudge against you, but to design the removal of people, you need a reasonable reason."
"You want them to do this? Aren't you afraid that after the deed is done, they will come back and threaten the greater good? ”
"A person who sets up a scam for a living, has offended many enemies, who knows that one day he will be blocked on the street, dragged to the alley and beaten violently, and finally the treatment will be ineffective?"
"Shizi, you are really the most wilted, compared with you, the servant is ashamed of himself, and he is willing to lose."
"Each other, each other." Gu Yun raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and pinched Bai Ko's face, as if smiling, "You don't put gold on your face." ”
Bai Ko's eyes rolled, the irritability that had been entangled in her heart for a day was swept away, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows showed her usual smart look, and before Gu Yun could react, she slipped off his lap, and as soon as the hem of her skirt was raised, the person stood a few steps away.
"It's not early, I don't dare to delay the son of the world to review his homework, the maid goes to the kitchen to cook supper, and retires for the time being."
Bai Ko walked briskly, Gu Yun continued to sit for a while with a strange face, then stood up a little stiffly, walked to the desk in front of the window and sat down, his body was hot and thirsty, he drank the whole cup of tea in one go, calmed down, opened the book he wanted to read and couldn't read a word, so he had to be in a daze again, and after almost a stick of incense, he finally found the love of reading the book, and slowly immersed himself in the words of the book.
The next day on September 14, the east kitchen was a busy scene, the kitchen girls in the second and third rooms were busy doing semi-processing of some meat ingredients, Bai Ko said hello to the ice cellar in advance, the ice room of the second and third rooms is adjacent, in order to prevent the kitchen from hacking each other, secretly destroying other people's dishes, the ice room of each room must be locked, and someone must follow in and out.
Everyone in the ice cellar obeyed Bai Ko's orders, and even the people in the warehouse and the east kitchen felt that the ice cellar seemed to be very strict these days, but strictness was always a good thing, so no one thought much about the reason.
