Chapter 483: Initial Contact
The eldest lady read the score sheet and had no objection to the results, so she immediately instructed Pang's mother to say hello to the big housekeeper and the big account room, and then went to the east kitchen to make a formal appointment.
After the lunch break, Bai Ko went to the street to find a familiar foreman and made an appointment with him to go to Zhongming Courtyard tomorrow to measure the scene.
After negotiating with the foreman, on the way back to the house, Bai Ko turned around to the shop to see the business situation, and went to the courtyard to inspect whether the girls serving in the women's tearoom were working hard, especially whether the three who were scheduled to marry had deserted.
All the way to the back house where my sister lived, Bai Ko was trying to go to the kitchen to get some drink for herself, and saw a girl by the well waiting for Miss to wash her hands, the girl looked at her eyes, Miss was a little familiar, the other party also saw her, the two sides nodded to each other, Bai Ko didn't care too much after returning the gift, the tea room was open for business, how could she recognize every guest who entered the door.
When Bai Ko took a cup of cold white and boiled it, the young lady had already left, only the girl was putting the bucket on the well platform, and then wiping her hands with a hand towel as she walked, and Bai Ko stopped her feet, and when she walked over, she went into the house to rest.
The girl walked up to Bai Ko and nodded to her with a smile as she tucked her handkerchief back into her waist.
Bai Ko politely returned the salute, and then saw that the girl's handkerchief was not tucked properly, and fell out along her hand, and flew to the ground, and Bai Ko caught it in time and returned it to others.
"Thank you Steward Bai, I was careless, and Steward Lao Bai helped me pick up the hand towel." The girl looked smart, fifteen or sixteen years old, and her eyes looked Bai Ko up and down flexibly and quickly.
"You're too polite, it's just a good thing. I don't know what my sister is called? Is your lady a frequent visitor? â
"Where can I be a white steward to call me sister, just call me Scarlet, my young lady's surname is Shi, and her full name is Shi Tianqi. I wonder if the white butler has heard of it? â
"Oh!" Bai Ko suddenly realized, "Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turns out to be Miss Qi of the Shijuma family, and her brother Min Gongzi is still friends with my family." Is Miss Qi gathering with friends today? â
"It's a party, but it's not my young lady who is the host, she is also a guest, but I didn't expect to meet the white steward so coincidentally."
"Yes, it's quite a coincidence, I am temporarily on the street today, come to take a look, and I happened to meet Miss Qi, my family has been taken care of by Min Gongzi recently, and when I mention this Min Gongzi at home, I am all happy with my eyebrows."
"Really? White stewards are not exaggerating? â
"How can I exaggerate!" Bai Ko looked left and right, and saw that no one was walking around here, but he still didn't feel at ease and pulled the scarlet incense to the kitchen and whispered, "Sue you, yesterday my family brought back a beauty, saying that it was Min Gongzi who took him to a good place to see, and brought it home happily, beautiful for a day, before the beauty entered the door, there were a bunch of jewelry and clothes, and a room full of utensils were all new, I just liked it very much." â
Scarlet covered her mouth and giggled, "That beauty must be very beautiful, man, how can anyone not love beautiful women." â
"Well, that's right, my family loves beauties, and the girls waiting in the courtyard are all beautiful and handsome, and now that beauty is the number one in the courtyard, whether it's the whole or the part, I don't have to choose, and I feel inferior when I stand with them."
"What's the point of comparing the white stewards with them, you are in charge, they are girls, they are just beautiful and fairy, don't you have to be obedient in front of you."
Bai Ko immediately showed a slight smug expression, licked his lips, and tried his best to control his facial muscles to turn into a humble and restrained expression.
Scarlet Xiang saw it in her eyes, smiled in her heart, and didn't say anything about it.
"My young master and young lady also talk about Gu Shizi from time to time, the eagle that I got from Gu Shizi last year is now very good."
"Really? Why don't you take it to us this year? I didn't even have a good look at that eagle last year. â
"Okay, okay, when I go back and talk to Miss, maybe she'll be willing to take it."
"Then I'm sorry for you."
"It's a hassle, it's just a matter of effort. It's not early, I have to wait for my young lady, and we'll talk again when we have a chance? â
"Hey, I'm too excited to talk, it's my negligence that delayed your time, hurry up and go back, Miss Qi should look for someone."
The two parted with a smile, and Scarlet went back upstairs to find her young lady, rolled up her sleeves and joined the girls.
Bai Ko watched Scarlet go upstairs in front of the corner door downstairs, and when she entered the room, she retracted back to the back house, drank water and rested for a while before returning home.
Shi Tianqi's girl took the opportunity to take the opportunity to talk to herself.
Bai Ko thought about this question as he walked, and gradually put Shi Tianqi, who had never been dealt with directly, in an important position.
Shi Tianmin was already enveloping Gu Yun, in order to envelop him, he tried his best to coax him, and also sent a beauty to him, this is obviously not his idea alone, the economic expenses that need to be borne are too great, there must be a concubine and the eldest princess behind the instructions, as a daughter, Shi Tianqi is impossible to stay out of the matter.
But she is just a girl in charge, where is it worth such a noble lady as Shi Tianqi to worry about, leaving Scarlet Xiang alone just to talk to herself, and it is still around the eagle, which is the only common topic.
Shi Tianmin had already hooked up with Gu Yun, but Shi Tianqi was interested in himself at this time, the most likely point was that it was not enough to envelop Gu Yun, they still wanted to hold themselves in the palm of their hands.
However, this is just speculation, there is no evidence, and it will take a few further contacts to understand their true intentions, maybe they just hope that they will not pull Gu Yun's hind legs, so that he can happily degenerate into a gentleman.
The more Bai Ko thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was more real, and silently kept it in ZĂ i's heart for later observation.
Later, Shi Tianqi and his friends finished the party and rode home, and the carriage was moving, and Scarlet learned from Miss the process of chatting with Bai Ko before.
"Gu Yun likes his beauty? This is reassuring, and the next thing to do is to ask Gu Yun to take the beauty out to eat and drink. â
"Bai Ko still has low self-esteem, saying that Gu Shizi loves beautiful girls, and now that beauty is the number one in the hospital."
"Bai Ko is modest, just telling some jokes to make people happy, since they are all in charge, naturally the first thing is to be smart and capable, and the beautiful or not is secondary."
"Now that the young master has become friends with Gu Shizi, what else do we have to do with Bai Ko? Can she still hold us back as a girl? â
"Bai Ko is Gu Yun's money bag, she has been recuperating from her injuries for a month, as soon as it is rumored that the tea room is going to be reopened, the reservation form will fly like snowflakes, she has a hand in business, just with her ability to make money, we can't ignore her."
"Isn't the beauty around Gu Shizi used to replace Bai Ko's money bag?"
"Do you really believe that such a beauty can beat Bai Ko? Do you want to bet or not? When did Gu Yun get tired of that beauty for a new person? It's normal for people to like the new and hate the old, saying that they are beauties, but in fact they are just girls, they don't even have a serious reputation, if they don't want to, if they can help Gu Yun make money, they can stay by their side for a few more days, but in the end, they still have to change to young and beautiful. Bai Qiao is different, she is now Gu Yun's confidant, and it is not so easy to replace her. â
"Then we have to continue to send beauties to Gu Shizi? Otherwise, if he gets tired of this one, he won't want it, and there will be no one of his own by his side. â
"I can't control this matter, let's take down Bai Ko first, since we can't kill her anymore, we have to hold her in the palm of our hands."
"Yes, miss."
