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

Chapter 111 You Deserve It
Qin Siyuan felt even more strange, and asked him with a smile: "Could there be someone plotting against me in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Shen Changle had a peaceful and happy face, and he said slowly: "Young Master Tang is well-read, but I'm afraid he has not read the book of human heart. Young Master Tang is already a juren, and it is natural for him to pass the imperial examination. I'm afraid your marriage will be plotted by someone with ulterior motives. Young Master Tang is used to being modest, but he must understand your importance in the eyes of others. When Young Master Tang becomes an official in the future, I'm afraid that others will want to plot against you even more. Some of the things in the inner house are just romantic affairs, but some are fatal."

Qin Siyuan was secretly surprised when he heard this. This really made sense.

Before, I only thought that this person was careful and prudent in doing things, but now I feel that he has some strategy, and I can't help but respect him.

When they entered Wutong Garden, the maid asked him to sit in the hall and went to look for Qin Yuan.

After a while, Qin Yuan arrived.

Qin Siyuan had just taken two sips of tea when he saw her walk in. He quickly stood up and bowed.

Qin Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Cousin, do you have to perform the apprenticeship ceremony when you see me in the future? Although I am thick-skinned and don't care, others will have a quarrel when they see it."

"Sister, you are so talented, how can you not accept the courtesy?" Qin Siyuan said with a grateful face, "I have received your guidance, and I feel like I have been reborn. It's a pity that my expectations are too high and my skills are not good enough, so the poems I wrote are still a little lacking in quality, but it is indeed a great improvement compared to before."

As he spoke, he took out the manuscript from his sleeve, handed it to Qin Yuan, and said earnestly: "Big sister, take a look."

Seeing his appearance, Qin Yuan chuckled and said, "Brother, please sit down and have some tea to rest."

Holding the manuscript, she was not in a hurry to read it. She just asked him how he had been doing these days, who he met when he came to the house, what he said and so on.

Qin Siyuan felt even more strange, so he asked, "Who is Shen Changle? I think he is a very important person and has a lot of knowledge."

"He is my companion. I plan to let him be a shopkeeper outside first. When he does well, I will arrange things for him."

Qin Siyuan nodded and repeated what the man who stopped him had done.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "If I hadn't asked Shen Changle and the old woman guarding the second gate to watch, I really don't know where my cousin would be taken. If he really went to the upper room, it would be better. If not, wouldn't he have fallen into a trap? My cousin will be an official in the future. There are tricks everywhere in the officialdom. If he doesn't miss any of them, he will be plotted against by others. A gentleman's integrity and a belly full of poetry and books will be of no use to him."

"...Didn't you come back from the upper room?"

Qin Siyuan was first intentionally reminded by Shen Changle, and then spoken to directly by Qin Yuan, so he couldn't help feeling uneasy. Even a fool would feel that something was wrong.

It was not appropriate to tell my cousin about what happened in the mansion, so Qin Yuan said, "A gatekeeper in the mansion knew that I was in the upper room, and wanted to arrange for my brother to go there to find me. This was not appropriate. My brother realized that it was not appropriate and refused. If you enter the inner courtyard and run into any woman, it's hard to say. After all, there are many female relatives in the mansion..."

Qin Siyuan also understood.

He said thankfully, "Fortunately, my elder sister arranged it, otherwise I would have gotten into trouble. You know my mother."

Qin Yuan smiled and said nothing.

She had no right to comment on what her second aunt thought about Qin Siyuan's marriage.

After saying this, Qin Yuan opened the manuscript and pondered it carefully. Qin Siyuan nervously picked up the teacup and drank tea. After waiting for a long time, Qin Yuan said, "My cousin's poems have improved a lot compared to before, but he is still too lenient in choosing words. Many celebrities pluck out their beards just to choose a word when writing poems, which shows the care in choosing words."

"If you want to choose the most appropriate words when writing poetry, it is not a one-day job. Cousin, why don't you choose the style of poetry that suits you best, whether it is steady, generous, humorous, gorgeous, or smart... It will be faster to choose words according to this style." Qin Siyuan was happy at first, then nervous. When he heard this, he suddenly realized it and hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying: "My elder sister, please accept my greetings. It's a pity that such a great talent can only be hidden in the boudoir."

The first test for the imperial examination in this dynasty was poetry writing. Qin Siyuan had asked countless people for guidance and thought he would never have a chance to make a breakthrough in his lifetime. Unexpectedly, his eldest sister taught him everything within a few days.

This is really more powerful than the great scholars.

Even my uncle can't do it.

Qin Siyuan is the nephew of the Qin family. Qin Jijiu is not one to hide his knowledge, but he couldn't teach him. It can be seen that the eldest sister's experience in writing poetry far exceeds that of her uncle.

Qin Yuan lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes concealed her inner thoughts.

She smiled and said, "I would be just as happy if my cousin could display his talents."

Qin Siyuan said: "If your uncle knew you had this ability, he might send you to the palace to be a female official. Your appearance and talent are definitely not comparable to those of vulgar women."

Qin Yuan waved the round fan in her hand, raised her eyes and said, "Isn't it better for me to be like this?"

Qin Siyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I was wrong."

My elder sister now has both status and honor. Isn't it better than entering the palace and enduring the hardship?
The maid outside reported, "Madam, I just went to the upper room to ask, and she is free."

Qin Yuan smiled and asked Qin Siyuan: "Cousin, I wonder if you are free to go to the upper room to see the old lady now?"

Qin Siyuan said: "Of course I am free. I didn't have time to greet the elders last time. I must be fully polite this time."

Qin Yuan took Qin Siyuan from Wutong Garden to the upper room.

Last time, Qin Siyuan came and went in a hurry, his heart was agitated, and he never really looked at the scenery of the Marquis' Mansion. He only remembered that it was grand and solemn. Now he followed Qin Yuan and walked slowly, passing through the flower gate, bypassing the Taihu stone, passing by the bamboo forest, and stepping onto the covered bridge on the pond. He couldn't help but sigh: "It is worthy of being the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion built by the order of the Taizu. It is magnificent and has many views."

The implication is that the eldest sister is a blessed one.

Qin Yuan just smiled and said, "There are many more sights in the Marquis' Mansion. I don't have time to show you around, but you should come more often in the future. Heng'er also said he wants to learn horse riding from the Marquis. It will be a pleasure for you to come along. The old lady and the Marquis are very hospitable and like to get close to scholars. You will know in the future."

Since Lord Gu can teach Qin Heng how to ride a horse, he probably won't mind taking Qin Siyuan with him.

You should learn the basics of riding and archery. Don’t miss out on such benefits.

Qin Siyuan looked at Qin Yuan beside him with gratitude.

Not long after entering the Marquis' Mansion, Qin Yuan not only looked better, but her demeanor and manner were also amiable and dignified, and her actions were just right, like a pearl hidden in the mud, which, after entering the Marquis Dingbei's Mansion, washed away the mud and shone with dazzling brilliance.

Lin Ziqi deserves to be unworthy of an older sister.
