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

Chapter 112: Avenge

Qin Yuan seemed unaware and slowly told Qin Siyuan about the layout of the mansion and the benefits of the gardens. Finally, he said, "Brother, do you still remember the difference in intentions that we didn't finish talking about before? Look at the layout of the mansion and then think about the layout of the Qin Mansion, and you will see the difference in intentions."

Qin Siyuan opened his mouth, but no word came out.

The Qin Mansion is small and cramped, but it has everything.

He had lived in the Qin Mansion for several years and rarely left the courtyard, but he was familiar with the layout of the Qin Mansion.

Comparing it with the garden scenery of the marquis' mansion in front of us, it was thanks to my eldest sister that she came up with this idea.

But let alone, that barrier that had been hidden for so many years and not understood seemed to be collapsing again.

The two of them were silent until they were almost at the upper room, when Qin Yuan said, "The old lady loves the Marquis and me very much. The family in the mansion is simple. In addition to the Sixth Master and the Sixth Madam, there is also the unmarried Seventh Miss. Because she did something wrong, the old lady punished her and banned her from leaving the house for three months. The Marquis's benefactor's widow also lives here with her children. In addition..."

Qin Yuan dragged out her voice and said, "The Sixth Madam is in charge of the backyard. The niece of the Sixth Madam's mother's family has just come to live in the mansion these few days. The Sixth Madam came to find her to keep the Seventh Miss company, and to take her to banquets and to find a good marriage."

Qin Siyuan's heart moved. It seemed that what happened today must have happened to the niece of the Sixth Madam.

"I took note of everything my sister said."

Hearing that Qin Yuan's cousin had arrived, the upper room suddenly became lively. Rong Mama, Qiu Ju, and Xiao Hong all came out to greet him. Rong Mama smiled and asked, "Is this the young master of our in-laws?"

Qin Yuan said, "That's right. My cousin said that he came and left in a hurry last time and didn't pay his respects to the old lady. This time, he must come to the upper room to pay his respects before he dares to leave."

Aunt Rong praised: "Young Master Tang is really handsome and talented."

Qiuju also glanced at Qin Siyuan with her beautiful eyes and nodded secretly.

This long-rumored Young Master Qin is indeed outstanding.

Xiao Hong exclaimed: "Madam, why are all the people in your family so good-looking?"

Qin Yuan smiled and asked, "Aren't the people in the Marquis' Mansion good-looking?"

"Of course it's beautiful, but your family is very scholarly, so it's different. That's what the old lady said."

Qin Yuan pinched her little face and said, "You have also learned to speak in a scholarly manner, not bad, not bad."

Qin Siyuan lowered his eyebrows shyly, not daring to look around, for fear that someone would pick on the gifts and embarrass Qin Yuan.

When I entered the upper room, I saw the old lady sitting at the top, dressed elegantly, with her hair combed neatly, and she had been waiting for a long time with a smile on her face.

"Greetings to the old lady."

Qin Yuan introduced her cousin with a smile, saying, "Mother, this is my cousin, Siyuan. He just had his coming-of-age ceremony not long ago, and he hasn't been given a name yet. He is shy and only likes to study. Mother, please don't pick on his gifts, it will scare him off."

"Young Master Tang is a handsome man. I like him so much that I don't have time to choose a gift."

Qin Siyuan saw that Madam Gu was as kind as she said, and heard Qin Yuan calling her mother in a natural and intimate way, which showed that she was indeed living very well in her husband's family. He was relieved immediately, and quickly paid respects to Madam Gu as a junior, and said with a smile: "Madam, I was in a hurry last time and didn't have time to pay my respects to you. Today is convenient for you, so I came here specially to pay my respects and wish you a long life."

Seeing his gentle and refined appearance, Old Lady Gu already liked him very much. And seeing that he was sincere, spoke appropriately, and behaved like a gentle gentleman, she loved him even more.

"My sixth son, who has not made much progress, has been talking about wanting to meet you for a long time. He said that we are relatives and all scholars, so we must get close to each other. Last time your cousin came, he was injured and was embarrassed to come out to see people. This time, he must have a good talk with you."

Qin Siyuan knew that this was referring to Master Gu Liu. He had long heard of Master Gu Liu's great name, but had never met him. Although he did not like people who pretended to be cultured, this man was his eldest sister's brother-in-law, so he had to spend some time to deal with him.

"You are too modest, old lady. I have heard that Mr. Gu Liu likes to read books and recite poems. I would also like to have the opportunity to form a poetry club with him."

Old Madam Gu was delighted to hear this and hurriedly urged Qiuju and Madam Rong to go and get the gift.

Qin Siyuan was an adult who had undergone the coming-of-age ceremony, so the gift he brought was naturally different from Qin Heng's. On the plate that Qiu Ju presented him was a black lacquered and gold-painted folding fan. When it was opened, one could see that the fan was made of silk, with figures painted on one side and flowers and birds on the other, which complemented each other very well.

A bird egg-sized pendant hangs on the fan handle, on which are micro-carved five bats with spread wings, representing the five blessings.

Qin Siyuan was about to decline immediately.

What Rong Mama presented was a square, old green Duan inkstone, engraved with bird, animal and fish patterns all around, which looked simple and elegant.

Qin Siyuan's eyes widened when he saw it.

He could resist the precious folding fan, but he could not resist this Duan inkstone.

It is indeed a blessing for a scholar to own such a Duan inkstone.

"...This...This is too valuable. I really can't accept it."

Qin Siyuan regained his composure and refused again and again.

In the end, he couldn't change his mind and said, "The elders' gift cannot be disobeyed. The Qin and Gu families are getting married, and you are my junior. You should accept this gift quickly. There are not many scholars in my family, and these good things cannot be wasted."

Just as they were pushing and shoving, Mr. Gu Liu walked in gracefully, fanning himself. When he saw Qin Siyuan and Qin Yuan, his eyes lit up.

He was dressed very carefully today, wearing a silver-green long gown with a dark green silk belt around his waist. On his side hung a green jade pendant tied with a silver silk thread and with many tiny beads hanging from it. With his gentle and graceful face, he truly was a handsome scholar.

Qin Yuan raised her eyes and looked over. Master Gu Liu met the bright eyes of his third sister-in-law. He thought to himself that today his face was better and he could avenge his previous shame.

Because of his facial injury, he even had a scene with his third brother and sister-in-law. After waking up the next day, Mr. Gu Liu, who was very proud of himself, secretly lamented how he could be so embarrassed after drinking a little bit of wine. He didn't want to go out for several days.

When he heard today that his third sister-in-law had taken her cousin from her natal family to the upper room, Mr. Gu Liu hurriedly dressed up so that he could make his reappearance.

"Third sister-in-law, is this Young Master Qin?"

Mr. Gu Liu was extremely satisfied with Qin Siyuan's character and appearance.

He said, with his third sister-in-law's character and appearance being so good, how could his cousin be bad?

He must find a way to make friends with such talents.

Qin Siyuan was stunned for a moment, then hurried over to greet him. In terms of age, Master Gu Liu was a few years older than him, and since they were his biological sons, he naturally became the elder brother, and Qin Siyuan became the younger brother.

Gu Liuye said, "We hit it off right away. We should keep in touch. I am not talented, but I have long hoped to find someone to study with. If you don't mind, please come more often. I have a lot to ask you."

My dear brother Qin Siyuan: "..."
