Chapter 864: It's Not Easy to Make Your Wishes Come True
Gu Yun was tired of pressing Bai Ko for a long time, and he also tortured him enough, while Bai Ko laughed without conscience on the side, resolutely not helping him, Gu Yun could only grit his teeth and slowly calm down, but when he couldn't help but take advantage of others again, his little Gu brother would stand up again very energetically.
After a few times, Bai Ko firmly kept his distance from him, and the two finally discussed the housework of the second room through the cool bed, Gan's marriage has only been two years, and the second lady wants to give her son a concubine on the grounds that Gu Xu has no children under his knees, which is actually to scold Gan's for not giving birth to a son, it is better to take a concubine directly for lustful reasons.
It is impossible to separate the family in the short term, although there is a way to destroy Gu Xu's concubine, it does not guarantee success, because of the nature of men, as long as Gu Xu convinces his uncle Gan Yuwen, and even sends him two beautiful concubines, I wonder if this second brother Gan will persuade his sister to endure it, who said that his sister did not have a child.
Discussion and discussion, the housework of the second room is still unsolved, the second lady Gu is too capable of tossing, and she has to show her dominance over the family everywhere, and her ability and means are insufficient, and the family is naturally in turmoil.
After dinner, Gu Yun said good night to the elders and raised the topic of family separation with his parents.
Mrs. Gu has long wanted to split up, this idea has been going on for several years, the second brother and sister are more and more able to toss, she is annoyed, but the old lady is still there, her old man wants her family to be around, and the three masters are all from her, and it is really difficult to open her mouth if she wants to split up.
Grandpa Guo also didn't have a good face, but this topic was raised by his son, and he could only say that he would consider it.
After Gu Yun finished what he wanted to say, he threw this headache to his parents, and he patted his ass and went back to Zhongming Courtyard to read.
Grandpa Guo and his wife then discussed it all night, and Gu Xu's concubine could only rely on the old lady to oppose it.
The next day, Gu Yun told the palace chief about Gu Xu's desire to take a concubine, and ridiculed Gu Xu for having no responsibility, allowing his mother and wife to have many contradictions, and he was a big man who only knew how to sit back and enjoy his success.
When the palace chief heard that Gu Xu's reason for taking a concubine was that he had no son under his knees, he immediately laughed angrily, patted Gu Yun's shoulder, took the matter down, and privately communicated with him through his channels, revealing to Gu Xu's opponents in the officialdom that Gu Xu, who had only been married for two years, disliked his wife and did not give birth to a son.
In just two days, this gossip reached the ears of the sage, and the sage did not reprimand Gu Xu in person, but just handed over the errand that was scheduled to be given to him to someone else, and then congratulated him with a smile on the fact that he was about to give birth to a fat son with a beautiful concubine.
With the sage's words, the officialdom immediately knew that Gu Xu had lost the opportunity to run errands because of his greed for beauty, and those opponents and colleagues who did not deal with him openly ridiculed him for not knowing the importance of it, and he really thought that he was an indispensable minister, and he didn't want to think about how many people were waiting to take his place behind him.
Gu Xu returned home and complained to his mother, and the second Mrs. Gu was also frightened, and when she was comforting her son, the old lady who was told by the eldest daughter-in-law to come forward called the second daughter-in-law to reprimand her at this time.
Second Mrs. Gu was scolded by her mother-in-law so much that she couldn't raise her head, and when she returned to her room, she didn't mention the matter of giving her son a concubine, Gu Xu naturally chose a future between her career and her beautiful concubine, and the matter of concubine was finally over, and Gan's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The third lady also seized the opportunity to teach Gu Jingyitong a lesson, asking him to put his future first, study hard, don't be greedy for beauty, and learn the lesson of Gu Xu this time.
Gu Yun laughed when he heard about this, but when he said goodnight to the elders in the evening, he was also told by his parents that it was nothing more than those words to study hard and concentrate on the future, and not to be greedy for beauty.
In front of his parents, Gu Yun nodded like a good baby, and when he returned to Zhongming Courtyard, he still tried his best to eat Baikou tofu, but he was disgusted by Baikou.
After Gu Xu's concubine was settled, the frightened second lady miraculously stopped a lot, and concentrated on purchasing a dowry for her daughter Gu Chan, she didn't toss anymore, and the life of Gu Xu and his family became much calmer.
After so many days of elimination, the hot polo match finally competed for the promoted team to play a round-robin match, winning a point, losing no points, ranking from high to bottom according to the score, taking the top half to advance, a team with a lucky bye in this round as a spectator, directly playing a round.
The teams that were indiscriminately filled were eliminated, and the level that could be left was not bad, the game became good-looking, and the people who went to watch the game every day surrounded the field, and the outside handicap also adjusted the odds of each team.
The men concentrated on the game, and Bai Ko hurried to make a large number of hot water bottles in the workshop and sent them to the Chengjun Palace, barely increasing the heat retention time to two hours, which should be able to cope with the hot water demand during childbirth.
The palace chief then prepared another batch of saltpeter, using saltpeter water to make ice to cool the delivery room, and at the same time can easily turn boiling water into warm water, Mrs. Ning came to visit her daughter, and when she visited the delivery room, she was also full of praise for this arrangement.
After cleaning up the important things in his hands one by one, Bai Ko finally freed his hands to boil the meat sauce.
The variety of meat between the two countries is different, which will directly affect the flavor of the finished product, Bai Ko also deliberately went to Yiren Fang to steal the teacher to learn the art, the cat's claw grass planted in the workshop, in addition to the pot brought back to the house, the palace bought two pots, and the others were sold to the merchants of Ufa Zaghi, after a small half a month, I have not heard that the palace has made meat sauce, Bai Ko can only use his brain in Yirenfang.
The water list of the meat sauce in the Ufazaghi-style restaurant has long been hung out, and Bai Ko tasted it one by one, and found that the taste of each family is different, not only the problem of seasoning, but also the difference in the selection of raw materials, some recipes have more red meat, some have more white meat, some have more fat tendons, some have more lean meat, the taste is salty and fresh, some have a little sweetness in the salty fresh, and even add a little spicy powder.
The meat sauce that is commonly eaten by ordinary people, the selection of materials is not particular, what is the use, it is all up to the person in charge to play freely, as long as the taste is good.
After tasting it for a day, Bai Ko and the guards who accompanied her out couldn't walk, but as long as she ate something that suited her taste, she identified herself to the shopkeeper, copied the recipe for this meat sauce, and saved five or six sheets a day.
