Chapter 656: These Two Men

At the beginning of the luncheon, when the wine was hot, the ladies upstairs suddenly heard the laughter of the men in the garden, and let people go to the window to take a look, only to realize that it was the men who were making a drinking order, and they were having a lot of fun. (Please go to see the latest chapters)【】

Ning Peilan immediately sent her girl downstairs and told her husband that men and women would play together.

So after some preparation and arrangement, the female guests came down from upstairs, and the tables in the garden were replaced with a case, head to end, placed in two columns, and the men and women sat in one column facing each other.

Gu Yun became the winner of the audience with his superb poetry and writing skills, and Gong Changji specially gave him a jar of aging as a prize, and ended this pleasant birthday banquet in the laughter of everyone, and invited everyone to make time to participate in the housewarming banquet before the end of the housewarming.

Palace Changji and Ning Peilan are not procrastinators, they will move when they say they move, in addition to moving within a month after entering the palace according to the will, they are also young couples who want to enjoy the newlywed life without being disturbed.

So on the day after Ning Peilan's birthday, the family of the Yeguo Mansion saw that the door of the Chengjun Wangfu diagonally opposite was full of carts carrying luggage.

It is not an easy task to move, and Ning Peilan's full dowry has to be moved again, so the bed that the couple is sleeping on now is the palace chief's own bed, not Ning Peilan's big wedding bed.

The people escorted the dowry to the main house, and the carpenters took two days to assemble the dowry bed in the bedroom, plus the palace chief followed his own luggage, and the cart carrying the luggage lined up for a long time and couldn't forget the end, and the family was busy for five or six days, and finally packed up the Chengjun Palace, which could welcome the prince and the princess.

The official relocation of the palace chief and his wife did not pick the day of rest, they just wanted to move quietly first, that is, they arrived at the door of their palace, and the family took out a long firecracker from the gate, and the residents of the entire Tianshui Fang knew that the king of Chengjun moved into his new home today, and the neighbors came to the door to say goodbye, and in the Yeguo Mansion diagonally opposite the door, the three ladies who had learned the news in advance sent their families to congratulate them with congratulatory gifts.

In the afternoon, after taking a nap, the street calmed down, Ning Peilan changed her clothes, and alone with only the girl, crossed the street to visit Mrs. Gu.

In terms of seniority, the palace chief is a generation higher than Gu Yun, that is, he is the same generation as Ye Guogong, so Ning Peilan came to visit as an equal, and performed an equalization ceremony in front of Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu took Ning Peilan to Rong'en Hall to see the old lady, and invited the wives, daughters-in-law and girls of the second and third rooms together, and a large group of ladies talked and laughed for a lively afternoon.

Before Ning Peilan resigned, she specially asked Mrs. Gu to tell Gu Yun that when he arrived home, he would invite him to come over for dinner, and she, the princess of the county, would cook it herself, but she also had to borrow Bai Ko as a helper.

Mrs. Gu happily agreed, and immediately sent the girl to Zhongming Courtyard to inform her after sending off the guest.

In the evening, Gu Yun and Bai Ko came back from Fuxue and Xile Fang respectively, and when they heard about it, they washed their hands and changed their clothes, and Bai Ko also brought her congratulatory gifts, two glass kimchi jars, which were full of all kinds of kimchi.

The two crossed the street and went to the door, the family at the door had already been instructed, and the chief housekeeper of the palace was waiting in the gate, and when he saw Gu Shizi coming, he hurriedly led the way, entered the main hall and gave up his seat to serve tea, and Bai Ko was invited to the back house to meet the princess.

When the couple saw Bai Ko coming, the palace chief Jicai leisurely set up the shelf of the prince of the county, and went out of the second door to see Gu Yun in the main hall.

In the brand-new kitchen, the placement of the tables, cabinets, and shelves all refer to Bai Ko's opinion, and even the kitchen utensils are customized according to the tools used by Bai Ko, a forty-year-old mother is the kitchen manager, she and the handymen are brought out from the Yan Wang's Mansion, and there are two young cooks from Yachifang, who are just waiting for the prince and the princess, and the existing manpower in this kitchen is more than enough.

"How? It's all laid out according to your opinion, do you see what's wrong? Ning Peilan was not in a hurry to cook at all, so she took Bai Ko to visit the kitchen first.

Bai Ko walked around seriously to check it, then turned around and gave Ning Peilan two thumbs up.

"It's very good, the kitchen is the focus of fire prevention, and the few major fire prevention points mentioned by the maid are quite good."

Ning Peilan smiled proudly, took Bai Ko's hand and patted it in the palm of her hand, "With our friendship, I don't want to be a 'servant and a servant' in front of me, it doesn't sound pleasant." ”

"Okay, I'll just change my tune."

"That's right, come on, look at tonight's menu, is it time for us to do it?"

Ning Peilan took a piece of paper from the cook's hand and handed it to Bai Ko, on it was tonight's menu, and the ingredients had already been washed and neatly placed on the long table.

Bai Ko took the menu, she didn't do it herself, she just told the two cooks to do things, and kept taking the things that should be used from the kitchen cabinet and spice cabinet.

Ning Peilan washed her hands outside and came back to wait, watching Bai Ko instruct the cooks on how to use the grater knife correctly and cut out the required strips of different thicknesses.

"You lazy ghost, don't you have to practice sword skills anymore if you use this thing?"

"This was originally for housewives, the knife skills are not good, and it has to be cut evenly, which is time-consuming and laborious, what should I do? The grater knife solves a qiē puzzle. ”

"I see, your girls use this thing the most, right?"

"I tried to make it because I was inspired by them, otherwise when they practiced a good cooking skill with me as the standard, they wouldn't get married."

Bai Ko's words immediately amused everyone present.

Under the guidance of Bai Ko, the cooks calmly handled the ingredients, and when they were divided into plates, they easily completed the side dishes.

Ning Peilan hurriedly stood in front of the stove and listened to Bai Ko's command meticulously, it seemed that there was some unbalanced cooking order, but the finished product was out of the pot without interruption, and the kitchen manager with decades of experience was fascinated by it.

In the main hall, Gong Changji felt as if he hadn't talked for long, and the meal was on the table.

Gu Yun chuckled, and without waiting for the palace chief to greet him, he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the dish.

"Well, Bai Ko has successfully brought out a new apprentice."

"Hey, it's too much, obviously the princess cooks, you know to praise your white cardamom."

"Yes, thank you Princess for cooking, but the method and taste of this dish are clearly in the style of Bai Ko, who directs the princess to cook the dishes in the kitchen."

"Yes, yes, your tongue is the smartest, and your white is the best."

"Of course my white is the best."

"I'm not fooled by you, I'm married, and I'm a person with a daughter-in-law."

"You traitor who betrayed the Alliance."

"The scattered sand alliance formed by the rabble, I sympathize with you, anyway, I am a person with a daughter-in-law."

"Go and go, show off less in front of me."

"Look, it's fried, it's fried, it's like a puppy."

"Do you have to lift the table?"

"Okay, okay, don't mess with you, the dog is rich, don't forget each other, Wangwang."

"You wait for me, don't fall into my hands."

"Do you have a chance? Would you like me to introduce one? ”

Gu Yun rolled his eyes, put down his chopsticks, and took a sip of wine.

"So there's something waiting for me here? Your ability to talk is indeed on the rise. ”

"Isn't this a matchmaker for you?"

"The dignified prince of the county, don't worry about the country and the king, you want to change your career?"

"Listen to it first."

"Okay, okay, you say, do I know?"

"Yes, you just helped her."

"Tong Mingli?"

"Yo, react quickly, is it possible that you also think about her every day?"

"What nonsense?!" Gu Yun suddenly looked at the door nervously, "Don't let Bai Ko hear." ”

“…… You're not going to, are you?! ”

Gu Yun rolled his eyes unhappily, and the palace chief raised his hand to surrender, "Don't worry, their women are eating in the inner house, and they didn't come out so soon." ”

"That's pretty much it." Gu Yun spat out turbidity, lifted the chopsticks and continued to eat, "Say, okay, why do you want to bring her and me together?" ”

"Because you're her sweetheart."

After the palace chief finished speaking calmly, he quickly snatched a plate in front of Gu Yun, so as not to be sprayed with his saliva on a plate of dishes.

Gu Yun threw down his chopsticks and glared at Gong Changji angrily.

"I'm not going to eat, why did you want to invite me to this meal first?"

"I'm inviting you to dinner because I'm moving today."

"And then you have to deliberately bring up a topic at the dinner table that spoils your fun?"

"Tsk, are you willing to do it?"

Gu Yun was dumbfounded, "You've only been married for a few days?!" ”

"The heroine is inside."

"What a shame on a man." Gu Yun hummed disdainfully.

"Believe it or not, I'm telling you this as it is?"

"You dare!"

The palace chief replied with the same contemptuous look, "What a shame for a man's face." ”

"I'm too lazy to argue with you, I'll eat my food."

"Hey, don't be in a hurry to eat first, I'm afraid you'll really flip the table, let's talk about Tong Mingli first, what should I do?"

"It's not up to me to decide." Gu Yun had to put down his chopsticks and picked up the wine glass, "I am the canonized son, and I am still the eldest son of the eldest son in the family, but Tong Mingli does not have the corresponding family identity with me, her father Tong Hanlin said that Hanlin is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, but his status is not even as good as Liang Zhongshan, a Jishi, otherwise her Tong Mingli family would not have been bullied so badly by a civilian." She wants to marry me, but it is good for her family, and she can even take care of her entire Tong clan, but she doesn't have it for me, which is not fair. ”

"So all she has to do is think about it?"

"There is no other way but to dream."

"Okay, you can make her die."

"Tong Mingli has seen her in poor spirits these two times, how can your daughter-in-law know her thoughts?"

"Tong Mingli has liked you for several years, and when Ye Junting was still there before, the two of them fought openly and secretly several times, and almost all of them knew it in their sister circle. At the last birthday banquet, Tong Mingli has been sitting in front of the window and looking at you directly, so that my smart daughter-in-law of Bing Xue saw it. ”

"Just talk about things, don't keep praising your daughter-in-law, so that your family is not afraid of laughing when they hear it."

"May you hang Bai Ko on your mouth and say, don't you want me to praise my daughter-in-law a few words? You're too lenient, aren't you? ”

"Okay, okay, let's not say anything about anyone, Mrs. Ping Ping ate this dinner, I really don't want to discuss this kind of problem with you."

"Don't worry, Tong Mingli doesn't know about this, I'm just going to probe your tone first, I must be on your side, not to mention Tong Mingli's appearance, her family won't give her any more engagement in the short term, this matter is enough for her family, as long as you two don't meet again, she can't help it."

"That's good, I still have to concentrate on preparing for the next Spring Festival, don't worry me about it. I'm not like you, you are the prince of the county, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking all my life, I have to earn my own fame and wealth, and my family is still counting on me to shine on the lintel. ”

"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't talk about it, eat the vegetables, the dishes are going to be cold."

The men ate in the main hall of the front yard, Ning Peilan and Bai Ko ate in the main room of the back house, the two sat at the same table, not only chatting about some housework, but also talking about the long-term plan of business.

After dinner, they each rested for a while, Bai Ke said goodbye to Ning Peilan, and went to the main hall in the front yard to wait for the prince, Gu Yun said goodbye to the palace chief when he saw her coming, and he laughed a few words.

Bai Qiao heard the palace chief laughing, and asked curiously after leaving the palace, Gu Yun smiled and took her back to the house through the side door, no one walked in the alley at such a late hour.

"It's nothing, it's just a little joke." Gu Yun's hand was on Bai Ko's shoulder, and he lowered his head slightly and kissed her on the forehead.

"A little joke between men? Hmm, it's boring. Bai Ko wrinkled her nose, not interested.

Gu Yun chuckled, took Bai Ko's hand and entered the stable along the long alleyway, he didn't want to mention Tong Mingli's matter.

The palace chief returned to the inner house and talked to his wife about Gu Yun's table at the dinner table, and heard that he was all fried, although Ning Peilan was a little regretful, she no longer cared about it.

My sister is affectionate, Lang has no intention, shaving her head and picking her head is hot, this thing can't be done, so far it's the best.

After the palace chief finished moving, the manpower sent to Chunshui Fort was also ready, so on the grounds of going to the border market to purchase exotic goods, two days later, a caravan left the capital and headed for the north, and the guards with the car were all the elite guards of the palace chief.

The caravan really went to buy goods, Ning Peilan didn't hide it from Bai Ko, and invited her to join her, anyway, this trip had to bring things to many relatives and friends, and it was not troublesome to add more Bai Ko to a list.

Next, Ning Peilan began to be busy with the warm house banquet again, and once again invited Bai Ko and her subordinate girls to help, with Bai Ko as the head chef, and the cooks and handymen of the palace were all at her disposal, busy but not chaotic, and orderly.

Tong Mingli was naturally invited to come as a friend, but this time she couldn't see Gu Yun, the male guests and female guests were entertained in the front yard and the inner house respectively, and the big banquet was serious, Tong Mingli was sullen from beginning to end, and she didn't even bother with the basic entertainment, and the ladies and ladies present didn't mess with her when they saw her like this, so they let her stay alone.

Ning Peilan is hospitable and a thoughtful hostess, but she has nothing to do with Tong Mingli, she looks like she is not satisfied with this banquet, Ning Peilan pitied her previous experience, she didn't say anything, she couldn't see it.

After the banquet was over, after sending off the guests, Bai Ke got a big red envelope from Ning Peilan, smiled and took the girls back to the house to rest first, Gu Yun was still in the front yard and the palace chief Ji Ji rubbed his teeth, and only went home for a lunch break after a while.
