My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 104 is also a bit annoying
Hongye was startled, and immediately said, "Yes, Madam said that the Marquis wants to have a private conversation with the Sixth Master, and no one is allowed to disturb him. Cuiming is waiting outside, and if the Marquis has any instructions, just call her."

Master Gu Liu had already taken the soup bowl and praised it as he drank it, "Is this hangover soup a recipe from my sister-in-law's family? It tastes better than what the cook in the mansion cooks."

Gu Jinghui ignored him and just signaled with his eyes, asking Hongye to leave quickly.

The red leaves immediately disappeared.

When they came out and saw Cui Ming still guarding outside, Hong Ye said, "The Marquis said to let the servant who came to help Master Liu guard outside. You should also come back with me to serve Madam and let her rest."

Cui Ming was stunned for a moment, but without asking any more questions, she called the boy over, asked him to sit outside, and brought him some snacks and fruits, asking him to eat slowly. She also found a few maids and said, "The Marquis and the Sixth Master are having a private conversation. You stay here and watch. If someone is waiting for you, go in. If they don't call you, stay outside and don't fall asleep. I'll give you something delicious tomorrow."

The little maids all nodded in agreement.

The two of them then returned to the main room. Qin Yuan only chuckled after hearing what Hongye said, and asked Hongye to tell the cook to prepare hot water and breakfast early tomorrow. Lord Gu would wear military uniform when he went to the Jokhang Temple, so there was no need to worry about preparing clothes and accessories.

She sorted out her thoughts under the lamp, wrote and drew for a while, then washed and rested.

The next day, after Qin Yuan woke up, she learned that Marquis Gu had already left for the palace. The maid who served her reported that the Marquis was very satisfied.

"As long as you are satisfied," Qin Yuan said, "you must serve the Marquis well."

Hongye said with a disappointed look on her face: "I don't know why Master Gu Liu is so worried?"

Qin Yuan glanced at her and didn't respond.

Anyway, Hongye can always find out what is on her mind.

Qin Yuan went to the upper room, where Rong Mama was teaching her two children to read, and Xiao Hong was also there. When they saw Qin Yuan coming, the two children called out to her awkwardly and bowed.

It's better than yesterday.

Qin Yuan thought that it was possible to train these two children slowly, but the prerequisite was that she had to leave Madam Zhao first.

Aunt Rong smiled and said, "The Marquis came back suddenly yesterday, and he only sat in the upper room for a while before leaving. He said that the emperor asked him to go to the Jokhang Temple to pray for blessings. The old lady is still muttering about this."

When they heard the Marquis mentioned, the two children pricked up their ears to listen.

Madam Gu also came out with Qiuju and asked, "Yuan'er, do you know why Hui'er was chosen by the emperor to go and pray for the princesses?"

It is really puzzling that there are so many imperial guards who cannot be used, but they have to let Gu Jinghui escort them.

Qin Yuan looked at the two children and said with a smile, "Mother, the Marquis is also wondering. Yesterday, Prince Qi and Princess Fuyun went to the camp and talked to the Marquis for a while. In the afternoon, the Emperor issued an edict asking the Marquis to accompany them to the Jokhang Temple to pray for blessings."

The seventh princess is deeply favored by the emperor and has already been given a title.

Although the Ninth Princess was Queen Lin's biological daughter and ranked behind her, the two were not much different in age, but she had not yet been given a title.

Madam Gu asked, "Didn't Hui'er tell me what the Prince of Qi and the Seventh Princess were going to do?"

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "When the Seventh Princess was young, she was playing by the pond and was pulled by the Marquis so that she didn't fall into the pond. She remembered this favor and followed the King of Qi to thank the Marquis in person."

This matter will be asked about sooner or later, so I might as well just say it.

Madam Gu also noticed that Qin Yuan was wary of the two children passing on messages. She thought Qin Yuan was cautious and stopped asking, "He went to the palace early. Didn't you have dinner yet? Eat here."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Mother is so kind. I came here just to have this meal."

Madam Gu was coaxed into laughing. Although Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er felt awkward, they still took their seats respectfully.

Rong Mama smiled and said, "Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er are learning etiquette. Madam, please take a look. I think they have gotten much better in the past two days."

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "I noticed that they have learned how to greet people these past two days. Mother and Aunt Rong are the ones who can teach them."

Yu Jie'er pouted in grievance, but Cheng Ge'er looked happy.

Xiaohong kept her achievements and fame to herself, and stood aside with her eyes narrowed and her mouth grinning.

Seeing her like this, Qin Yuan liked her even more. He pulled her over and asked, "How many words do you know now?"

Xiao Hong said, "Not many, about a hundred words. Grandpa taught me everything he knew."

Qin Yuan said, "If you are interested, I will ask your sister Hongye to find you a copy of Thousand Characters to learn. Once you learn it, you will know a thousand characters, and reading storybooks and writing letters will be no problem."

Xiaohong said happily: "Thank you, Madam. Xiaohong is willing to learn."

Cheng Ge'er, standing aside, stared at Qin Yuan with bright eyes.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "My brother learned these when he was just starting to learn. He recited the Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Names, and Thousand Character Classic since he was little. After he started to learn, he could follow the teacher to study."

Cheng Ge'er asked awkwardly, "Madam, can I enter the Imperial College if I memorize these three books?"

Hongye curled her lips.

Qin Yuan looked at him and said softly, "That's not enough. The homework in the Imperial College is heavy. If you only memorize these three books, you will not be able to catch up with others, and you will not understand what the master teaches. In addition to reading scriptures, elementary school students in the Imperial College have to practice big characters every day. If you don't write well or read well, you will be beaten with a board. You have to ask a teacher to teach you in advance, and go to the Imperial College after you are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics."

Cheng Ge'er's face looked a little ugly, but he nodded seriously.

Madam Gu saw Qin Yuan's intention and said, "That's right. Kang'er and Fu'er have to recite their lessons every day. They also have to practice calligraphy every day after the holidays and are taught a lesson by Old Six. It's really hard for them."

"Only those who have endured the most hardships can become the best." Qin Yuan said, "The Marquis has made many great achievements on the battlefield, but he also practiced martial arts since he was a child. He was honored in front of others but suffered behind their backs. When my brother was a child, his wrists were swollen from practicing calligraphy, and he cried all the time. Now his handwriting is acceptable."

Cheng Ge'er buried his head and slowly ate the bun in his hand.

When Mrs. Gu Liu arrived, everyone had already had breakfast.

As soon as Madam Gu Liu came in, she said, "Third sister-in-law, Master Liu went to Wutong Garden yesterday to bother you."

Qin Yuan glanced at the empty smile on her face and said, "You are too polite, Sixth Brother's wife. The Marquis went to the Jokhang Temple early in the morning and rested in the side room last night. I don't know when they finished chatting. The Marquis didn't allow anyone to serve him, saying that he wanted to have a private conversation with Sixth Brother and no one was allowed to disturb him."

The implication is that she knew nothing about what Mr. Gu Liu said.

Mrs. Gu Liu's face looked better then, and she turned to ask the two children if Madam Zhao was feeling better.

Qin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Madam Gu said angrily, "They have just gotten used to living here, and you are stirring it up again. Madam Zhao's illness is not a serious one. She has recovered, but it is just recurring."

Speaking of Madam Zhao's illness, Old Madam Gu was also a little annoyed.

　Thank you for forgetting your original intention just for you, chenll12188's monthly ticket, thank you, I wish you a happy holiday, (°‵′)
