Chapter 686 Interdependence
Bai Kou went back to the mansion to discuss with the crown prince what kind of gift to prepare for this cousin, but she didn't expect that Madam Tong's letter got into Gu Yun's hands first, and she wanted to buy some mirrors from him as a dowry for Tong Mingli.

Gu Yun took Bai Kou to the small warehouse in the back building to check his inventory. The large and small mirrors were sorted by size and packed in different reed boxes. Large and small hand mirrors.

"It's a pity that you didn't send it over in person, otherwise it would be such a wonderful pre-marriage meeting."

"Main intentions." Gu Yun tapped the tip of Bai Kou's nose, and closed the lids of the boxes one after another.

"I don't know if Ms. Tong is busy now. Please, Princess Cheng, invite her out to meet her. Just use the excuse of the vice president to hand over business?"

"How much do you want me to meet her?"

"The warming up of the relationship lies in the fact that you can often see the person who thinks about it day and night. How long have you not appeared in front of her?"

"Pull it down, you are just afraid that the world will not be chaotic."

Gu Yun closed the box, took Bai Kou's belt into his arms with one hand, and kissed her on the forehead. Bai Kou held the mirror with both hands and could only let him do whatever he wanted.

"Madam Tong wants to buy a mirror, so I won't sell it. I have to use expensive materials to make the mirror frame and give it as a gift. Tong Mingli will read me every time she looks in the mirror. Isn't this better than finding ways to meet her?"

Bai Kou stared at Gu Yun with wide-eyed eyes, "My lord, you are actually enlightened, and you can flirt with girls."

"What does it mean to be enlightened? I will, it just depends on whether I like it or not."

"As expected of Gu Shizi, who is wise, martial, witty and rich, I admire, admire."

"Laughing at me?"

"no!"

"I don't believe it, I have to punish it."

Relying on the fact that Bai Kou couldn't make a move now, Gu Yun raised her chin and kissed her lips lightly along the bridge of her nose.

Bai Kou shook her hand and was about to throw the mirror in her hand, but Gu Yun discovered her attempt in time and stabilized her hand.

Seeing him stretch out his hand, Bai Kou immediately withdrew his hand, and the three mirrors slipped into Gu Yun's hand, and she turned around and ran out the door quickly.

Gu Yun shook his hair and laughed, and followed out the door, holding the mirror in one hand and pulling the door shut with the other. After two or three steps out of the way, Bai Kou held up the key and lock to lock the door, then took the mirror from Gu Yun and took it back to his room to pack. , sent to the factory to replace the frame early the next morning.

Since it was a gift for the dowry, gorgeousness was paramount, so the skillful craftsmen pinched flowers with gold thread to touch the blue, and it took several days to finally finish the three mirrors. Kou unpacked the box to inspect the goods, held it in his hand and was amazed.

Gu Yun got home from school, and when he saw the mirror he brought back, he kept praising him, and then he and Bai Kou went out to Chengwang Mansion opposite, and handed over the gift to the palace chief to pass it on, and don't put it together with Mrs. Seeing such a good gift, the stingy second wife thought that her daughter's marriage had not yet been settled, so she didn't know what kind of trouble would come out.

The palace chief came out to entertain Gu Yun, and after seeing the presents, he screamed enviously. Bai Kou took the box and was led by the servants to the back house and handed it to the princess. He was left to talk and discuss the water conservancy works on the farm by the way. The matter is about to reach the boundaries of the five villages, and the time has come to negotiate conditions.

Ning Peilan would naturally send the Ning family's men who are good at negotiating to run errands for this kind of thing, but Bai Kou still insisted on the basic principles, leasing land and hiring farmers, there should be no threat of violence, and it should be done as a business. The villagers really disagreed Forget it, if the subordinates are not kind and cause the villagers to go to Beijing to sue, the aftermath will definitely be troublesome, and it will not be conducive to the normal operation of the farm in the future.

The Ning family has been an imperial merchant for so many years, and finally stood at the top position. They have their own way of doing things, and Bai Kou's instructions are just in case, and they don't want to see any degree of extraneous complications.

Ning Peilan knew in her heart that Bai Kou had not hinted that Gu Yun was also an imperial merchant now, and it was the difficult stage of accumulating word of mouth and reputation. If he was messed up by his subordinates who can't do things, all consequences would be borne by their masters Naturally, Ning Peilan was not happy that her natal family's reputation would be affected, so she assured Bai Kou that an experienced old man would do it.

After the two talked about business, they talked about pregnancy and diet. Ning Peilan's taste has changed a lot since she became pregnant. The prescription given by the food doctor is based on her physique, regardless of food preferences and taste. There is also Bai Kou, she will comprehensively consider the food doctor's prescription and Ning Peilan's taste preferences, and there is nothing dissatisfied with the written menu. Come back, even if you don't talk about business, it's fine to just gossip.

Bai Kou was also happy to take care of Ning Peilan's diet, she didn't find it troublesome at all, otherwise, if the servants below controlled the princess's dining table and told her to go all out to nourish herself, it was very likely that she would overdo it and cause danger to both the mother and the fetus.The dignitary prince's mansion is not from abject poverty, and they usually can't eat good food, so they stuff it into their stomachs occasionally. Ning Peilan has been well-clothed and well-fed since she was a child, and she is not lacking in nutrition. As long as she maintains a balanced diet, it is enough, the most taboo The maid, who obviously couldn't read Chinese characters, pretended to be an expert and told her to eat in the name of thinking of the princess.

In fact, Ning Peilan is well aware of this hidden danger. During the few days when Dongshou was at her natal home, the old servants who served her since she was a child often told her to eat this and that. Each person had his own idea, and they all insisted that their own experience was the right one. She was confused, but fortunately she was the one who had the final say in Prince Cheng's mansion, she decided to only listen to the imperial physician and Bai Kou on diet, and everyone else was not allowed to talk nonsense, and with her husband's support, she was able to keep her ears clean.

The two of them chatted so much that they forgot the time, but someone from the front passed the word that Gu Shizi was going back home, Bai Kou was surprised to find that it was already late, so she hurriedly said goodbye to Ning Peilan, and followed her to meet Gu Yun at the front , go back home together.

In the evening, Gu Yun was reviewing books in the ear room, and Bai Kou moved the official files back to the ear room. Her study room is now occupied by boxes of recipes from the Bai family, but it happened that the weather was changing, and there was no good weather to dry books. The order is rearranged according to the names and dates, and I don’t know if the hidden letters hidden in the bottom of the box have been eaten by moths. Just looking at those boxes every day gives me a headache, so I simply can’t see it.

Of course Gu Yun was very happy that Bai Kou came back to use the anteroom to do things again, so he was happy to look at the paper books she had laid out on the floor around the low table. ready to move.

This night, Bai Kou was doing something, but Gu Yun didn't read the book carefully. He kept peeking at Bai Kou's movements. Seeing that she finally stopped to rest while swinging her wrist, which was sore from writing, he immediately rushed over and wrapped her in his arms. , Wrapped the blanket, and then read a few pages of the book seriously.

Bai Kou leaned on this human cushion and took a very comfortable nap.
