"You are busy with your business, don't worry about me."

Bai Mengshang knew that he was a heretic, but he didn't care what his servants thought of him.

My daughter and daughter-in-law are picky eaters. They can hardly eat ordinary food, but they love his cooking.

What a burden of love...

The manager really didn't dare to ignore this gentleman, so he just stood by and watched to see if he would order them around.

As a result, the knife in the master's hand left afterimages, and soon a pot of fragrant pickled mustard greens and shredded pork noodles was ready.

The noodles are dotted with green chopped green onions, which makes you drool just by looking at them.

Bai Mengshang scooped up four large bowls and carried them back to the yard.

As soon as he left, the kitchen went into chaos.

Everyone was scrambling to drink the remaining noodle soup in the pot. The lucky ones could even scoop up two pieces of meat that were thinner than the noodles, and they tasted so delicious.

Mother Hong was shocked to see that the master actually cooked for the mistress, young lady and young master himself!

Wanwan and Dazhuang showed no expression. In their opinion, they had no say in what their masters did.

Shunzi was extremely frightened. Could it be that the master had discovered something?

His heart was pounding.

"Shunzi, take the food down and eat it.

We don't have much appetite, so we just want to eat some noodles.

You go down first, we don't need you to serve here now."

"Yes."

Shunzi was sent away.

"Mother Hong, take them both to eat, and get some hot water after dinner."

Hong Tianqiao sent Hong Mama, Wanwan and Dazhuang away, and the family began to talk while eating.

Bai Jintong slurped up the fragrant noodles. The sour snow vegetable was very appetizing. Paired with the tender and tasty shredded pork, wrapped in a mouthful of chewy hand-rolled noodles, and drinking a mouthful of the noodle soup, she was really satisfied.

Hong Tianqiao and Bai Jin'an also ate without looking up. They hadn't eaten for most of the day.

The four of us were sweating and hot after eating, and our heavy bodies felt a lot lighter.

"Dad, in ancient times, it was said that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. You are an official, so don't go to the kitchen next time."

Bai Jintong felt that it was better to adapt to local customs, otherwise people would always be suspicious of her if she was too different.

She always feels a little guilty.

"Yeah, how about we find a way to build a small kitchen ourselves, and you can cook for us secretly."

Hong Tianqiao gave an idea.

In the previous life, it was natural for men to cook. But here, Lao Bai is a fifth-rank official. If outsiders knew about this, they would definitely laugh at him.

But the food sent from the big kitchen was probably not very delicious in that era.

As for the restaurant, I don’t remember any of the food being particularly delicious.

There are many restaurants in Beijing, but they are all very expensive.

Given their family's financial situation, it is definitely not possible for them to eat delicious meals from restaurants all day long.

She couldn't stop Lao Bai from cooking, as she was afraid that she and her daughter would starve to death.

Bai Jin'an did not express any opinion because her mother and sister had the final say at home.

"That's just what incompetent, lazy and self-righteous people say.

I'm not that kind of person.

I just love to cook for you two, and even the emperor can’t interfere.”

Bai Mengshang didn't care, he really felt that way.

"If they know it, then they know it. So what if they say I'm henpecked?

I just envy you!

Let them envy, envy them till they die."

Bai Mengshang became more and more proud as he spoke.

Bai Jintong was also persuaded by her father.

Indeed, as long as you are strong enough inside, you will not care what others say. Just focus on making yourself happy.

Bai Jin'an didn't mind being excluded by his father at all. He was already very satisfied to be able to eat and drink with his mother and sister.

The family ate and drank their fill, washed up, and went to rest. They would deal with the rest tomorrow.

Main Courtyard Second Room

Bai Zhongze and Liu were chatting about the eldest family.

“I didn’t expect the eldest wife to be so careful and invite a doctor herself.

I wonder if any clues have been found.”

“Don’t worry, Master. Even if they find out, I have a way to make them go to hell without them even noticing.

I guarantee that within half a month at the latest, or three to five days at the fastest, their entire family will be killed!"

The matters concerning the big kitchen were ordered by Liu, but they didn't know that the first wife didn't eat the food prepared by the big kitchen at all.

After hearing what Liu said, Bai Zhongze smiled and took Liu's hand.

"Thank you, my dear wife, for your concern."

Liu blushed when Bai Zhongze stared at her and leaned into his arms. She was even happier when she found that she was not pushed away.

"Who let that bastard block the master's way?

If it weren't for him, it would have been the master who was promoted to that position this time."

Bai Zhongze didn't say anything, but covered Liu's mouth with satisfaction.

If the matter were to be exposed, it would be solely Liu's womanizing opinion and would have nothing to do with him.

The next morning, Bai Mengshang got up at about five in the morning.

Fortunately, the morning court session in this dynasty was after Chenshi (9 a.m.), which was very humane.

Knowing that the lady had gotten up, I went to greet her good morning and then requested the use of the kitchenette.

The reason was that their family had just returned from another place and were not used to the food here.

In addition, the whole family has to take medicine during this period and cannot eat many things. For convenience, we decided to set up our own small kitchen.

The lady was a kind person, and Bai Mengshang's request was reasonable, so she agreed readily.

"Mother Tao, take Mother Hong to the kitchen to talk about it and collect their share of the profits."

"Thank you, mother. I am sorry for making you worry."

"As you should. You should go to court today. Don't delay the time."

"Yes, mother. I will be ready to report for duty soon."

Bai Mengshang said goodbye to the lady and returned to the second courtyard. He told Mother Hong, who had already gotten up, about the small kitchen, and then went to report to the Imperial Observatory.

Bai Jintong and Hong Tianqiao were very happy when they woke up and learned that they could use their own small kitchen.

Mother Hong had already cooked the porridge, added some pickles, and a basket of steamed buns.

This is also what Bai Mengshang asked Mother Hong to make according to their taste.

"The master said that he should make more delicious food when he comes back from court."

Mother Hong felt that the master and his mistress had been a little different since they were poisoned on the road.

More approachable than before.

The master also loves the mistress and the young master more, which is really great.

Hong Tianqiao felt a little embarrassed when he saw Mother Hong's meaningful smile.

"Mother Hong, you know that our family almost died. The master said that when you are alive, you should be as reckless as possible, because you might die one day.

I also think what the master said is right.

Don't tell others that we have changed or anything like that, it will make people laugh at us."

"Madam, don't worry, I'll save you."

Bai Jintong gave her mother a thumbs up in Hong's blind spot.

After breakfast, Hong Tianqiao decided to take his son and daughter to pay their respects to the lady.

If I never go, I'm really afraid that the second wife will frame Mr. Bai and get him impeached, which would be a waste of time.

The lady should not be difficult to get along with, otherwise she would not have agreed to open a small kitchen for them.

As the mother and her two children arrived at the door of the main hall of Rongshouyuan, a sarcastic female voice was heard from inside.

"Sister-in-law, you came just in time and are well-informed.

But if the second girl is not in good health, she won’t be able to participate in the princess’s selection of a tutor.”

The one who spoke was the second wife, Liu.
