Bai Ko gave Meihuan the responsibility of the steward of the tea room, and asked Xiaoqian and Xiaojing to assist from the side, the girls of Jichengtang and Rongentang are the subordinates of the elders after all, she is not good at calling and not reprimanding, and it is easier for the girls to manage themselves by themselves.

Gu Hui has also attended two chess competitions during this time, the men and women who came to watch the game gathered in a spacious room, and used a translucent screen to enclose the place to play chess, and the audience stood behind the screen to watch the game, eating and drinking, as well as ice trays to cool down, occasionally someone went downstairs to wash their hands quickly, it was too hot outside, and it was still comfortable in the house.

She sits in front of the chessboard, the guests behind the gauze screen, as long as she is willing, both men and women can talk with her for a game, she will go to the back of the female guest's screen to rest after every two or three games, eat something to nourish the spirit, and then come out to play, from beginning to end is a serious attitude towards each game, which won the favor of the audience, not to mention that her matter was a big news in Beijing last year, her original family is ruined, this time I saw her ruddy cheeks and healthy appearance, Public opinion in the circle was overwhelmingly tilted in favor of her, and praised the generosity and benevolence of the Ye Guo Mansion to protect the young.

Here, Bai Qiao finally had time to care about the wedding gift that the prince promised to give to his cousin, and he made countless sets of beautiful tea and wine sets, but the second lady was not satisfied, and he didn't know the specific requirements she wanted, Gu Yun was annoyed, and he didn't feel comforted when he told his parents, he only said that he deserved it, who told him to make random promises, and asked him to figure out his own way.

What can Gu Yun do, it's not handed over to Bai Ko, Bai Ko counts the days, looking forward to the day when all the second rooms will set off to Pingzhou soon, and the house will be quiet and quiet.

Now that the new business has stabilized, and there is a little leisure time, Bai Ko suddenly came to inspiration, and instructed Yan Zheng to buy some pure gold and silver for the glazed workshop, and let Liu Qiang and his brothers find a way to inlay the gold on the wall of the cup and the body of the pot to make a gold-edged tea set and wine set.

The process of inlaying treasure on the glass is the basic skill of the craftsman, and the inlaid gold edge is not difficult for the two brothers, and the tools are also ready-made.

Bai Ko opened and inspected one by one, and the utensils with gold and silver edges looked very expensive, and at the same time felt as if there was a vulgar air coming to him, lacking a little elegant taste, Bai Ko felt that this had nothing to do with craftsmanship, probably because the transparent glass was not transparent enough, otherwise it would be very good-looking.

The girls came forward to watch, and praised them for their good looks, but Bai Ko didn't believe in their aesthetics at all, put things away again, and told them to wait for the prince to come home and show him.

When Gu Yun arrived home in the evening, he saw several sets of glazed utensils wrapped with gold and silver edges, but he didn't have any ideas, but he just asked the girls to hold one set and go with him to the second aunt to show her, if he was not satisfied, he would do other styles.

Unexpectedly, this time, the second lady accepted it quite happily, praising her for her good looks, and before Gu Yun left, she ordered the girl to send the glass utensils to the young master's and young lady's rooms respectively.

Gu Yun's heart fell to the ground, and he chatted with his second aunt for a while before getting up to say goodbye.

Bai Ko was busy in the small kitchen, and when she heard the girls who came back talk about the glass utensils just now, she was surprised by the second lady's appearance, thinking that she would not like this kind of vulgar thing, but she was so happy to receive it, she could only sigh that she was still a down-to-earth worldly person.

In the evening, Gu Yun asked the elders to come back with good night, called Bai Ko to his study to talk, and the two sat opposite each other at the table and chair in front of the bookshelf.

"You know about the second lady accepting things, right?"

"I've heard about it before, and I think I'm very happy."

"Hmph, if it weren't for your whim, I really didn't think about it, it turns out that she has always been dissatisfied because she thinks the bare glass looks too cheap."

"It's good if she likes it, I believe that this style will sell well in the store in the future, but you can't promise so much in the future."

"Yes, yes, I know, my second aunt can only stay away, fortunately, her daughter-in-law is about to enter the door in the autumn, she wants to be a good mother-in-law, she shouldn't have time to toss us juniors."

"Let's hope they can have a harmonious family."

"Listening to your tone, aren't you optimistic?"

"The maid only said this based on her own feelings, maybe the second lady is really a good mother-in-law, this can't be said."

"Hmph, okay, let's not talk about them, even if there is really a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it will not be necessary to come forward in the long house, how can I manage so many housework for them."

"So, what else does the prince have to command?"

"You're smart." Gu Yun smiled and grabbed the cup on the table and took a sip of cold drink, "This Xiu Mu has friends to play and cook something delicious." ”

"That's it?"

"It's not the guys you've seen, it's Shi Tianmin's circle."

"Oh." Bai Ko rolled his eyes and smiled meaningfully, "What is the taste of this Shi Gongzi's food?" What are the preferences and taboos? ”

"I like a light taste, I can't get any spicy food, the taste of ginger and garlic is acceptable, nothing else, not picky eater."

"Is that him?"

"Well, the hot dishes are all to his taste, and the cold dishes are a few heavy ones, and he doesn't eat them, and others have to eat them."

"It's not good to make heavy flavors, after all, he is the host and guest, let's make him a brine tailwind, so that he can stretch his chopsticks."

"It's a pity, he doesn't get spicy, otherwise he can ask him to eat roast mutton together after the cold, and he can enhance the relationship."

"Your relationship with him is growing day by day, and no one else has anything to say?"

"Yes, Huang Bin, they don't pay much attention to me, for fear that I will tell Shi Tianmin about them."

"That's good, the more wronged you are now, the more generous the compensation they will give you in the future."

"Just these days, I feel like I'm running out of energy."

"That's natural, you're only a few years old, so it's good for you to be a well-informed person, don't lean on the double-faced spy for the time being, your acting skills can't support such a complicated thing, and when you really get a piece of the pie and become their trusted brother, it's time for you to really play a role."

"I thank you for complimenting me so much." Gu Yun rolled his eyes angrily.

"You're welcome, remember to talk to the eldest master in advance, don't let him find out that you support other camps, and break your legs in a rage."

Gu Yun suddenly stood up, pursed the corners of his mouth and pretended to be calm.

"He was already trying to break my leg when he said goodbye. Don't laugh! ”

Bai Ko pursed his lips tightly, puffed out his cheeks, the smile had reached his mouth, he couldn't swallow it, and he blushed a little for a while.

"Okay, okay, don't suffocate, just laugh if you want to, anyway, it's not the first time you've seen me make a fool of myself."

Bai Ko couldn't hold back any longer, slapping the table and giggling for a while
