Chapter 297: Bai Ko is the Bai family
As soon as Mrs. Gu finished saluting, the father-in-law Xi beside the saint made a gesture to the corner, and immediately the two palace maids with trays walked out and stood in front of Bai Ko to show her.
One tray is two packets of sealed official silver and gold ornaments for women, and the other tray is a variety of high-grade silk and six-square handkerchiefs.
Bai Ko knelt down again to give thanks, and the saint, who had been allowing the queen to speak, finally opened his golden mouth at this time, and said a few words of encouragement, and the whole reward was finally over, and those cooks who took the consolation prize, their rewards would be sent directly to their masters, and only the cooks who had won the first prize were eligible to receive the reward in front of the Son of Heaven.
The two palace maids were holding things to send Bai Ko out, Gu Yun and his buddies were still standing in place, Lu Doudou and the three girls were also there, just took the reward from the palace maids, wrapped the money and jewelry in handkerchiefs to help Bai Ko take back the tent, and the palace chief took advantage of the cover of the tray to quickly hand the palace maids a broken silver.
The palace maids accepted it quietly and saluted the young masters.
"How? What did it say in it? You're not just tea time. A group of people gathered around Bai Ko and asked impatiently.
"The queen asked the lady to bring her maid over to sit in the afternoon, and that's what she said."
"Did you have a summons in the afternoon? Then hurry back to the small camp, grab a bite to eat, and take a good nap. ”
The crowd did not dare to delay the time, and returned to the small camp in a hurry.
Huang Dahai had been waiting for the young masters to come back for lunch, but Bai Ko couldn't wait for them to stir-fry, and after cooking a bowl of instant noodles and eating them in a hurry, he went back to the maidservant's tent to sleep, and the reward she had just received was taken by the little servants and sent directly to Gu Yun's tent to be stored in the box.
Bai Ko was really tired this morning, and he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow, but fortunately, the girls from other families hurried to wait for their young masters, and no one stayed in the tent to make Bai Ko sleep.
The saint moved back to the camp after giving the reward, and the civil and military officials and their families disbanded on the spot and went back to rest, and when Bai Ko had already gone to bed, Ye Guogong and his wife had only returned to the tent not long after.
The couple withdrew and were talking, when they heard the girl outside report that their sons had returned.
Gu Yun sent his younger brother back to his parents, just listened to the whole process of receiving the reward before, and discussed what to bring to Jin to see the queen mother in the afternoon.
Niangniang's last sentence made it very clear, Bai Ko's talent is not only cooking, too many people have bragged for her in the past few days, I am afraid that Gu Yun has heard of the pancreas workshop, so she simply brought a few boxes of paper soap to make a small gift.
The family discussed properly, the kitchen prepared a meal again, the family of four ate at the same table, seize the time to take a nap, and go to see the queen in the afternoon, absolutely not listless.
Bai Ko slept for a short time, freshened up and changed into clean clothes, and found the gold ornaments given by the queen in Gu Yun's tent, picked two beaded hairpins and inserted them in the bun, and then took a new handkerchief, and then the little maid set up the car and sent her to the master's side to meet his wife.
Grandpa Guo and Mrs. Guo were still taking a nap at this time, they knew what time was the right time to go to Jin to meet the queen, Bai Ko was not easy to disturb, and originally wanted to go to the small tent dedicated to meeting guests, but they were led to the tent of the sixth young master Gu Chen, where the prince rested.
By the small fire pond near the door, Gu Yun was holding the teacup in a daze while roasting the fire, and suddenly felt a gust of cold wind, and when he looked up and saw that it was Bai Ko coming in, he made a silent gesture, Bai Ko nodded knowingly, and walked to the fire pit and stretched out his hand to bake the fire.
Gu Chen's maidservant glanced at the screen from behind, and when she saw that it was Bai Ko, she didn't squeak, and retracted back to continue to guard the little young master's nap.
The two were separated by a small firepit, one sitting, the other standing, and neither of them spoke.
Today, in front of the Son of Heaven and the civil and military officials, Bai Ko's identity was revealed, and those who are smarter should think of Bai Yehong, the former head of the imperial kitchen, especially the fine food and Qing Officials of the Ministry of Rites, which is the yamen in charge of large and small banquets, and has the closest contact with the head chef of the imperial kitchen, maybe someone has already discovered her relationship with the Bai family from Bai Ko's appearance.
From the moment he decided to bring Bai Ko to participate in the winter hunt, he was destined to have such a result.
What's more, there is no reason not to take her out, the steward next to the prince, the best cook in the Yeguo Mansion, no matter from which point of view, who else can you take without her.
The curtain of the tent was lifted from the outside again, and a girl came in and softly asked Gu Yun to go out to meet guests, and his brothers came to him.
So Gu Yun and Bai Ko went out together, and saw him in the tent where they met the guests, Gu Xu, Gu Jing, a group of cousins and good buddies, and a group of people packed the small tent.
"Huh? So many people? Are you here to congratulate me on winning the jackpot? Gu Yun grinned when he saw so many people at first glance.
"Who's congratulating you on this!" He Jiali beckoned, "This noon has spread all over the world, Bai Ko is a member of the Bai family, the imperial chef." ”
Gu Yun's gaze immediately found Huang Bin in the crowd and glared at him.
Huang Bin shouted with a bitter face, "I didn't say it!" ”
"Young masters, the signboard of Imperial Chef Bai has long been removed." Bai Ko stood behind Gu Yun and interjected lightly.
Seeing that Bai Ko admitted it so generously, the boys who thought they would have to spend more time didn't know what to say for a while, and the prepared manuscripts were invalidated.
"It's really a member of the Bai family!"
"Can the official maid's deed be fake?" Gu Yun glared at the brothers.
The palace chief looked at Bai Ko and suddenly said: "Fortunately, Bai Kom is capable, so capable that people only remember her ability and forget her life experience." ”
The young masters of the powerful families who were present didn't understand the hints in the palace chief's words.
The relationship between Ye Guogong's Gu family and the imperial chef Bai family is not a secret.
When Taizu raised the army, the ancestors of these two families were in an army, one led the soldiers to fight in the front, and the other cooked and ate in the back, and had a friendship of robes.
After the imperial chef Bai family lost power, the only girl who was confiscated into the official maid was transferred to the Yeguo Mansion as a cook, and even these young people had to sigh that the world was unpredictable.
And Bai Ko's shrewdness and ability gave the Ye Guo Mansion an excellent reason to reuse her, so that people could not maliciously attack them to cover and hide the slave with the friendship of the robe, and now who doesn't know that Bai Ko is the person of the Bai family, the imperial chef Bai family, is bright and bright, and has not hidden it at all, and today's roast whole sheep has won the first prize, which does not disgrace the glory of her family.
The source of official slaves and maids is either prisoners of war, or the families of sinners, especially the families of convicts, most of the fate is to be sent to the Jiaofang Division as kabuki and miscellaneous servants, Bai Ko was actually sent to the cooking workshop to be bought and sold, no matter who made the decision, this is to save her life, otherwise the seven or eight-year-old girl, it is the age of the Jiaofang Division to train skills, and in the future it will inevitably be bought by the powerful and rich to entertain guests, and then sold by the master's family in two or three years, and finally do not know where to die.
In contrast, Bai Ko's current status quo is really the best result that can be obtained as a slave
