Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Bai Zhi: "Second sister-in-law, if you go to a teahouse to tell stories, your stall will be smashed within three days."

Qiao Wanwan said unhappily, "I only heard Gu Shou mention that. You should go back and ask my second brother for the rest."

The sound of Madam Gu coming to the table came from outside. Bai Zhi stood up and straightened her clothes: "Let's go."

Qiao Wanwan followed behind and muttered, "It's a waste of time..."

Mrs. Gu didn't have a stern face today, it was rare. She had a kind smile on her face, just like a kind old lady from an ordinary family.

Bai Zhi followed Gu Yan and his brothers and sisters-in-law to greet them, first asking how Old Madam Gu was and then congratulating her eldest and second brothers on their promotions.

The ceremony was over, everyone took their seats, and the music began.

This banquet was much bigger than Ge Zhen's birthday banquet. The delicacies on the table were carved into various shapes by skilled craftsmen, and there were creatures flying in the sky and running on the ground, it was like a dance of monsters.

Bai Zhi stared at the crystal clear meatballs in front of her - since Old Madam Gu hadn't started eating, none of the younger generations could eat first.

At this time, Old Madam Gu, with a beaming face, was pulling Marquis Xuanping to ask him in detail whether the new official of the Honglu Temple was doing well.

"It went smoothly, it went smoothly. Wang Shaoqing is really smart. He told me everything I asked him and treated me very well."

Gu Laoer interrupted at the right time and said, "Mother, my eldest brother is kind and righteous, and he is very popular. Everyone in the Honglu Temple respects him very much as the chief clerk."

Madam Gu nodded approvingly, and then she remembered to ask her second son: "Shou'er, what kind of official position do you hold?"

"Mother, I am now the recorder of the Honglu Temple. I owe it to my third brother to guide me, otherwise I would not be where I am today."

Gu Yan: "Second brother, you are too kind. After all, this is all thanks to my eldest brother. If I hadn't often followed my eldest brother to the drinking table and made friends, how could I have the ability to dance with long sleeves and how could I have met Wang Shaoqing from the Honglu Temple?"

Gu Laoer said yes repeatedly.

"Yes, your elder brother inherited the title of Marquis Xuanping, so he shouldn't have just held an idle position in the Imperial Academy."

Ge Zhen's smile froze on his face.

Bai Zhi silently applauded Madam Gu in her heart - pick up the bowl to eat, put it down to curse your mother, you are really good at this!

"Shou'er, you and your eldest brother are both in the Honglu Temple. You should help your eldest brother more on weekdays." Madam Gu said, "Look at your third brother. He is two years younger than you, but he has achieved a lot. He has been very helpful to your eldest brother in the past. You should ask your third brother for advice."

Gu Laoer: "Yes, mother, I will definitely ask my third brother for advice."

"Kuan'er, you are going to take up an important position in the Honglu Temple. You should not act rashly when encountering things. It is better to be cautious."

Xuanping Hou chuckled and said, "I know. You always taught me this way."

Ge Zhen: "This is a great event, mother. I often hear my father say that the Honglu Temple is the prince's faction. When the prince ascends the throne one day, won't the Marquisate soar to the sky with him?"

Old Madam Gu lived deep in the marquis's mansion and was unaware of what was happening in the court. When she heard what Ge Zhen said, her face beamed with joy.

"When the Marquis is promoted to a higher position and can enter the court to meet the emperor, I will ask my father to introduce you to the crown prince. Then you can fly with the dragon. What worries you about your future?"

Marquis Xuanping scratched his head and said, "But I heard that the crown prince may not necessarily become the emperor. There is also a seventh prince."

Gu Lao Er said: "Brother, although the Seventh Prince is brave and resourceful, he is a concubine's son after all. No matter how capable he is, he cannot surpass the Crown Prince."

What followed was all nonsensical flattery to each other, and only when Baizhi's eyes were almost green from staring at Rouwan did Old Lady Gu pick up the chopsticks and everyone started eating.

Gu Yan picked up some meatballs for her and carefully cut them into small pieces with a spoon.

"Hey, Third Brother, you take such good care of your Third Sister-in-law. Could it be that she is pregnant?"

Ge Zhen suddenly raised his eyes to look at Bai Zhi, which made Bai Zhi shudder.

Gu Yan: "Second sister-in-law, you are joking. As a husband, do I have to wait for my wife to be pregnant when I serve her?"

Qiao Wanwan giggled, "Third brother is really kind and considerate to women. But third brother's wife has not been in the mansion for long, it is not expected that she will be pregnant so soon. But eldest sister-in-law," she looked at Ge Zhen, "has been in the mansion for more than three years, I wonder when eldest sister-in-law will give mother a grandson?"

"Second sister-in-law." Bai Zhi suddenly said, "Every household affair in the Marquis's Mansion is managed by the eldest sister-in-law. It is natural that it is not easy for her to get pregnant because she is so tired."

Qiao Wanwan said smoothly, "That's right, sister-in-law is in charge of such a big family, so the matter of branching out will have to be put on hold."

Ge Zhen saw the two people singing the same tune, and just when he was about to say a few words in defense, Madam Gu interrupted him: "Zhen'er, your belly should be moving. As the saying goes, you should start a family and build a career. Without a child, how can Kuan'er start a career with peace of mind?"

Ge Zhen lowered his eyebrows and said: "Yes, mother."

Bai Zhi was very happy to see Ge Zhen's cowardly look, and felt that the food tasted much better. After eating half full, Gu Lao Er began to toast Xuanping Hou and Gu Yan. After a while, the dining table simply became a drinking table.

Old Madam Gu was exhausted after being happy for such a long time, so she left the table first and was helped by Ge Zhen back to her room to rest.

Baizhi was full and simply went outside for a walk to eat.

The servants in the outer courtyard were drinking and making a lot of noise, and they didn't pay any attention to her, the third wife. When Bai Zhi came out, she saw Qiaoqiao and the others eating heartily. She pulled a stool and sat beside them, asking, "Is it delicious?"

Qiaoqiao still had food in her mouth and spoke incoherently, "It's good... but not as good as Chef Xu's..."

Mrs. Xu, the chef, had drunk a lot of wine, and her face was flushed. She waved her hand and said, "I am the descendant of the imperial chef. The imperial chef, you know, cooks for the emperor."

Everyone had never seen Chef Xu drunk before, and it was really funny to see her like this. They all responded, "I know, I know."

"Of course the heir of the imperial chef can beat the chef of the Marquis's mansion."

Qiaoqiao: "Mrs. Xu, why didn't you become a royal chef in the palace?"

"The palace is not a good place." Cook Xu's voice gradually dimmed. "In the palace, if you make a mistake, you will be beheaded. It's not easy to make money on the edge of a knife."

Ming Xin: "Chef Xu and Chu Qi are not slaves, at least they own their own lives and are free to come and go." As soon as she said this, Ming Xin remembered that Bai Zhi was right beside her, and quickly changed her words, "Fortunately, the Third Madam and the Third Master treat us well, otherwise we don't know what would happen."

Lin Chuqi nodded and said, "Madam Three treats us very well."

Qiaoqiao raised the chicken drumstick and chimed in: "I said Miss is the best!"

Bai Zhi smiled but sighed inwardly.

When you are a slave, no matter how much you are paid or how well your master treats you, it is better to be an ordinary citizen.

...It’s time to find out how to remove Qiaoqiao from slavery as soon as possible.
