Fortunately, I didn't wait too long, and after the previous decree slipped away, the prayer in the back house ended, but the incense case was not removed, and the new incense continued to respect the ancestors, and sent half of the snacks in the house to the front.

Meiqimei and other girls have been waiting in the front yard of Jicheng Hall, until the front sent the holy decree back to the back house, and only after learning the main content did they come back and tell Bai Ko and Aunt Su.

Why is the object of the decree four people, because the eldest lord attacked the lord, the eldest lady and the old lady received the title, revoked the title of the third young master's grandson and changed the son, and at the same time, the eldest lord moved to the Ministry of Rites and ceremonies to clean the official secretary Wailang, from the five products. Then the twenty-ninth day of May is an auspicious day, and the four of them will enter the palace to accept the official canonization ceremony in the early court, and the next day the eldest lord will go to the official office of the Ministry of Rites to take office.

In other words, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who came to announce the decree today is the supreme boss of the eldest lord in the future.

Everyone was enthusiastically discussing this sudden happy event, and did not feel that the official position of the eldest lord was low, as we all know, the official of the Ritual Department was going to return to his hometown at the end of the middle and middle years, and put the eldest lord in the position of the outsider, making it clear that he was waiting for the succession in the future, and the half-year buffer was enough for the experienced lord of officialdom to familiarize himself with the environment and make friends.

As the sun set, the angel finally headed home.

Gu Yun came back from seeing his mother in Jichengtang with high spirits, and the boulder that had been hanging high in his heart for a long time finally fell to the ground with this volume of holy decrees, just in response to the old saying that people are in good spirits when they are happy, the world is incomparably beautiful in his eyes at this moment, the sky is so blue, the leaves are so green, the flowers are so colorful, and the girls seem to be a little more beautiful than before.

Meili entered the house to wait for the young master to change his clothes, and then came out to eat tea and rest, Bai Ko took this opportunity to go in and ask the masters about the arrangements for dinner tonight, whether they would go to Rong'en Hall to have dinner with the old lady, and whether the additional dishes sent every day should be sent.

"No, everyone is tired today, everyone eats their own tonight, let's reduce the amount of food added and send it, don't send so much, and then divide some to Jichengtang, and give me the rest."

"Yes, Third Young Master. Congratulations to the third young master. ”

"Well, I accepted this sentence, and you girls should also congratulate Bai Kom."

The three girls in the room suddenly had a question mark in their heads.

"By the end of this year, I'm going to move back to Zhongmingin."

Meiyi immediately took a deep breath of surprise and turned to look at Bai Ko and smiled at her.

Bai Ko was confused, unable to understand the dumb riddle between their master and servant.

"When the ancestor was still alive, our lord and wife lived in Zhongming Courtyard, and the young masters and ladies were born there." Miren explained softly.

"Didn't you say that Wenling Temple is inhabited by an heir?!" Bai Ko couldn't understand it anymore.

"Zhong Ming Courtyard is a courtyard prepared for the heir's married life, and when the young grandmother will bring a group of people in, where can the two courtyards live. Zhongming Courtyard is different, it is a courtyard with four entrances, and the fourth entrance is a back cover building with a small garden, where the eldest lady and the second lady are out of the cabinet. Milun continued to explain.

"Where is the son-in-law?"

"Because you are the temporary steward, you must take over everything before I move the yard, and when I move back to Zhongming Courtyard, the number of maids will double, four first- and second-class girls, and eight third-class girls, you and Aunt Su will remain the same." Gu Yun couldn't stand the girl talking nonsense in front of him, so he directly talked about the point.

Bai Ko pinched his fingers and counted, and the black line on his head.

"Third young master, next year, the servant will make three meals a day and snacks and supper for nineteen people alone?"

"There is a row of small courtyards between Zhongming Courtyard and Jichengtang, where there are usually miscellaneous courtyards, one will be cleaned up and converted into a regular kitchen, you only take care of me and Jichengtang every day, and let other people's three meals a day be solved by themselves, it's too unreasonable to follow you for so long and still can't cook."

"Yes, Third Young Master. But where is the east kitchen and the ice cellar? ”

"As usual. In addition, I will give you the monthly rule of the temporary steward from my statute. ”

"Yes, Third Young Master!" Bai Ko was instantly full of energy and smiled.

"When I hear that there is money to take you, my eyes will shine."

"Third young master, it's only natural to work and get money."

"Okay, okay, don't play tricks with you, I can afford this money. Tomorrow morning, you go to Jicheng Hall, and Madame will talk to you about the banquet. ”

"Yes, Third Young Master, I'll send you out tomorrow morning and I'll go over."

"Also, after the autumn, my entertainment will increase, you have to go out with me, in addition to practicing martial arts in these months, you also have to learn to ride a horse for me."

Bai Ko smiled even more happily, "Yes, Third Young Master!" ”

As long as you can go out, you can't be afraid of any hardship!

Gu Yun was amused by Bai Ko's high-spirited appearance, and finally waved her down to prepare dinner, and then discussed the trivial matter of moving the yard with the beautiful sisters.

When they moved from Zhongming Courtyard to Wenling Courtyard, these two sisters took care of the whole process, and now they are moving back again, so naturally they are indispensable to help each other by Bai Ko's side.

It's just that the courtyard has been idle since my parents moved to Jichengtang, and there are still many things to do before the end of the year to move back in.

At dinner time, the people of the wine kiln dragged a cart to deliver wine from yard to yard, saying that it was the order of the eldest lady, and everyone had a good drink tonight, but the result was naturally one by one.

Early the next morning, the girls with a hangover and a headache sent the third young master out, Bai Ko quickly swallowed her breakfast, took a pen and paper and went to Jicheng Hall.

Jichengtang also had just withdrawn from the table for breakfast, and the eldest lord was still gossiping with his wife, and when he saw Bai Ko coming to lead the errand of the banquet, he simply called her into the main room, and the princess and mother asked her together.

The specifications of the banquet can be much higher than the banquet of filial piety, and there are more guests who come to the banquet, and the main time is tight, the lord will take office the next day after his filial piety, and the official position of the relocation is Lang Zhong of the Department of Ritual and Qing Officials, which happens to be in charge of the ceremony, military ceremony, imperial examination and school affairs.

When the new official takes office, the top priority in front of him is the autumn in August!

Obviously, after the filial piety, the eldest lord did not have time to set up a banquet to entertain relatives and friends to celebrate his lordship, and after yesterday's discussion with the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, he has been allowed to hold a banquet in filial piety, and the exact date is the ten days after the canonization ceremony to the death day.

White Kom had to come up with a complete menu before he could be canonized.

In the evening, the eldest lady did not have time to write down the basic requirements of the banquet in advance, so the couple could only discuss and dictate on the spot, and Pang's mother moved a bookcase and a chair for Bai Ko to sit and write notes.

It is still a table of eight immortals for four people, the number of dishes has risen to twenty-four, and it is necessary to use more precious ingredients, and it can no longer be as simple and simple as a filial piety banquet, this time it is right to take the gorgeous and extravagant route.

Bai Ko will give the old lady the name of the dish, first start with the cold dish, the old lady gives the ingredients conditions, Bai Kom can recite the corresponding recipes, and then briefly explain the cooking method, the mountain and sea delicacies as much as possible, this season is the season of mushrooms on the mountain, there are mountains and rivers around the capital, it is very convenient to eat these, but the seafood is a gold and expensive commodity in the capital, and the more it is used at the banquet, the more it is used to indicate the grade of the banquet and the financial resources of the host.
