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

Chapter 114 It's a waste of time to please her

Mrs. Gu Liu was interrupted.

She looked at Cheng Ge'er unhappily and said sarcastically, "You haven't even finished elementary school, how can you study with a scholar?"

Cheng Ge'er glanced at Qin Yuan and lowered his head.

Madam Gu Liu had never liked these two children, but she tolerated them only for the sake of the Marquis. Now that Madam Zhao had lost her power, it was inevitable that she would show some signs.

"Kang Ge'er and the other two go to primary school. They have to get up early every day to study, and light a lamp to do their homework when they come back at night. It's very hard. The Juren master also studied hard for ten years, not to mention the Jinshi exam, which is not something that can be achieved by just talking. You fight and bully people every day, so it's hard for you to study in primary school, let alone harm others."

What a joke! Even my real relatives can’t afford to study with him.

It's your turn now.

Cheng Ge'er clenched his hands into fists and sat upright with his head lowered.

Qin Yuan thought that this child could tolerate a lot more than before.

When Yu Jie'er saw that her brother was wronged, tears welled up in her eyes, she pursed her lips, and her nose turned red, as if she was trying hard to endure it.

Madam Gu smiled and tried to smooth things over, saying, "If you want to study with Young Master Qin, you have to be grown up first. Young Master Qin is now busy studying for the imperial examination at the Imperial Academy. If he has time to be a teacher, I'm afraid he will teach at the Classics Academy, not the Mentorship Academy. You haven't studied at the Mentorship Academy yet, so wait a while."

"What is a Jingguan and what is a Mengguan?" Cheng Ge'er raised his head and looked at the old lady seriously.

"The Mengguan is to teach you to read and write. Once you can recognize all the characters, the Jingguan will teach you to read the Four Books and Five Classics and study. You have to learn day by day, so take your time."

The family's children had hired a teacher, and Old Madam Gu knew it very well.

Cheng Ge'er lowered his head, thought for a moment, then raised his head again, looked at Qin Yuan steadily, and said, "I will study hard."

Madam Gu Liu glanced at him with disdain, chuckled, and went to talk to Sister Zhen.

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "If you want to study, you must first find a teacher to teach you how to read and write. My cousins ​​and brothers all learned this way. Mother is right. You can't become fat in one go. Wait until someone from your father's clan comes to discuss with your mother, and the Marquis will know how to arrange it. Otherwise, he would have hired a teacher for you long ago."

Cheng Ge'er responded politely.

Qin Yuan looked at him with a high gaze.

Qin Siyuan and Gu Liuye waited until the meal was served before returning. Qin Yuan saw that the two of them were no longer as reserved and distant as before, which showed that Gu Liuye had not spent all those years hanging out with scholars in vain.

Madam Gu Liu tried many times to let Xu Zhen show up in front of Qin Siyuan, but was blocked by Master Gu Liu and Old Madam Gu every time. Qin Siyuan acted very disciplined and stayed away from them.

In the end, we didn't say much.

Xu Zhen couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

After the meal, Qin Siyuan said goodbye and went to Wutong Garden to sit for a while. Master Gu Liu held Qin's hand reluctantly and promised again and again that he would come to the Marquis' Mansion to talk to him in the future.

When Qin Siyuan left the Marquis' Mansion, Qin Yuan asked him to write another poem before going to Yuyuantan.

"Thank you, big sister."

Qin Siyuan was filled with gratitude. He paused and asked, "Master Gu Liu..."

He was unsure how to get along with Mr. Gu Liu, so he could only ask Qin Yuan's opinion.

After all, Madam Gu Liu is not very kind.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Just get along with him according to your own ideas."

Qin Siyuan understood.

Qin Yuan wanted him to not have to deal with Master Gu Liu for her sake, so she smiled and said, "Lin Ziqi mentioned Master Gu Liu several times in front of me, and also said that we should visit each other in the future. We are all relatives. I thought he was pretentious and exaggerated, but he is actually easy to get along with." Qin Yuan said seriously, "Master Gu Liu likes to travel around the lake and recite poems. He has several concubines in the inner courtyard. Not long after he redeemed a singer from the brothel, he is now clamoring to redeem a pipa girl. The last time I didn't see Heng Ge'er was because he had a fight with Madam Liu and got hurt. I know that my brother is a tight-lipped person and will never gossip outside, so I told you this. He is used to being so dissolute. You have to take the imperial examination seriously. It would be good if you can lead him on the right path, but you can't let him lead you to waste."

Qin Siyuan hasn't married yet, and Mr. Gu Liu is an old hand in the world of romance. If he leads Qin Siyuan astray, all the suffering of the second aunt over the years would be in vain.

To put it bluntly, you have to wait until you pass the imperial examination to be romantic.

Qin Yuan didn't want his efforts to go to waste.

Qin Siyuan immediately said, "Don't worry, cousin. We will never forget the Qin family's ancestral teachings."

"That's good. I'm just reminding you in vain."

"My cousin is my mentor and her teachings are just right," Qin Siyuan said from the bottom of his heart. He learned a lot in the Marquis' Mansion today. If his cousin was a man, he would definitely stay with her day and night.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Siyuan said goodbye in a hurry. Qin Yuan asked Shen Changle to send him out. He sat alone in the hall without moving, and sighed softly.

Hongye came back from outside and asked hurriedly, "But Master Tang still hasn't made any progress in writing poetry?"

Qin Yuan shook her head, "Great progress."

"Why is the young lady sighing?"

"Sixth Master wants to make friends with my cousin, and Sixth Madam wants to arrange a marriage between Xu Zhen and my cousin. I think there is still a lot of famine to fight."

Cui Ming said, "Today, the young master was almost taken to another place. Who knows, there might be some chance encounter, just like what is written in the storybook, and this is still in the Marquis's mansion."

Hongye was surprised.

This is too ungentle.

Qin Yuan said: "I can't leave her any power as the head of the family."

All the schemes are directed at her family members. This is intolerable.

The next day, Qin Yuan met the aunt and nephew again in the upper room.

Xu Zhen became even more affectionate and affectionate towards her, saying sweet words to her and acting as if they were really close.

Madam Gu Liu asked directly, "Third sister-in-law, do you think Zhen Jie'er is okay?"

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "What do you think of Sister Zhen?"

"I think my niece is good in every way," Mrs. Gu Liu said with a smile, "This is also human nature."

Qin Yuan said leisurely: "Yes, this is also human nature."

Before Madam Gu Liu could come to her senses, Nanny Zhao at the side hurriedly pulled her back, telling her not to embarrass herself.

After Qin Yuan left, Madam Gu Liu asked Madam Zhao, "Why did you pull me just now?"

Aunt Zhao avoided Xu Zhen and whispered, "What the Third Madam meant is that you think Miss Zhen is better, but she thinks her cousin is better, right?"

Mrs. Gu Liu thought about it carefully and it seemed to be what she meant, but she also felt that this might not be the meaning.

"Why does this daughter of a scholar always speak in a roundabout way?"

The two of them were whispering, and Xu Zhen heard them. Xu Zhen said in disbelief, "I always thought that the Third Madam liked me, but I tried to please her in vain."
