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

Chapter 132 The So-called Gentleman

Qin Yuan was not surprised to hear the news.

Hongye said, "Sixth Madam used the banner that her family had bought Pepper to ask them to contribute, trying to buy people's hearts. It's really abominable."

It was obviously our young lady who initiated this matter, but now it has been intercepted by Madam Gu Liu. How shameless.

Qin Yuan glanced at Hong Ye and said, "Are you still going to stop others from getting rich?"

Hongye choked and couldn't utter a single word.

This is what makes Madam Gu Liu disgusting.

"Too deceiving."

Hongye said angrily.

Even if this matter is brought to the old lady, there will be nothing that can be done. She might even be accused of being narrow-minded and unable to stand others doing well.

Qin Yuan said, "Please be patient. Talk to them privately. If they want to withdraw their contributions, just do so. I may not be able to buy pepper here."

Hongye: "..."

Cui Ming found out and laughed, "How come you are so lost in it? Have you forgotten the lady's trick? The more shares she gives out, the more losses she will suffer... The more people on our side withdraw their shares, the more people will regret it in the future."

Hongye then became happy and waited to see the joke.

Go up to the room.

Madam Gu complained to Rong Madam: "Sixth Brother didn't care that his child was sick, but insisted on going to Yuyuantan to form a society. This evil thing, if I can't bear it one day, I will beat him up. There are so many things going on at home, but he still goes out to play."

Madam Rong said, "It is said that Young Master Qin is going. Sixth Master has been clamoring to go for a long time. It just so happens that the two children are sick, and the imperial physician said that they should be taken care of separately. He usually loves the children very much, and perhaps he thought that he can't help much."

Then he lowered his voice and said, "In our folk customs, when we worship the Heavenly Flower Goddess, the couple must sleep in separate rooms. It would be good for Sixth Master to go out and form a society."

When she heard that Sixth Master Gu was out to form a society with Young Master Qin, Old Madam Gu's face became much better and she said, "That's fine. I'm just worried that he's messing around with those scholars who deceive him and make him spend money. He even ignored his child when he was sick. His brother is worried about other things and can't take care of him now. If he finds out later, he will definitely settle all the old scores with him and beat him up."

Rong Mama thought to herself, didn’t you just threaten to beat him up? Do you think you won’t beat him up after you beat up the Marquis?
No, the Marquis will only beat you harder.

Gu Jingjun didn't know that his house was already in chaos. He went out early in the morning as agreed and went to the Qin family's door to wait for Qin Siyuan.

As soon as he saw Qin Siyuan coming out of the side door, he couldn't help but exclaim: "My dear brother, you are indeed a handsome man."

Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Qin Siyuan is wearing new clothes today, the fabric is top-quality, and he looks even more eye-catching.

Qin Siyuan smiled and said, "You are also very good."

Gu Jingjun was quite proud and said, “Because I wanted to come with you, I even had someone make a set of clothes for me. Fortunately, otherwise, if I stood next to you, I would be outshined.”

Qin Siyuan couldn't help laughing.

How can we describe Mr. Gu Liu's personality? If you say he is a playboy, he doesn't do chicken fights and dog fights on weekdays, and he only associates with scholars all day long. If you say he is ambitious, he likes to go boating and visit prostitutes. He has no achievements at all even at this age.

Therefore, most serious scholars would despise him for his lack of knowledge.

But Qin Siyuan found this person straightforward and interesting.

"You really like being with me."

"Of course, I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. You are different from the scholars around me. You are a man of talent and learning."

"Where's Brother Ziqi?"

"Zi Qi and I met by chance before, and I found out that he was my third sister-in-law's brother-in-law when we talked. Although I have interacted with him many times, I didn't hit it off with you at first sight."

Qin Siyuan smiled.

Mr. Gu Liu is obviously a person who looks at appearance. He and Lin Ziqi are both relatives of Qin Yuan. They are of similar talent and learning, but in terms of appearance, Lin Ziqi is not as good as him.

Mr. Gu Liu and Old Madam Gu really look a bit alike.

The two of them took the Gu family's carriage all the way to the agreed location. Looking at the time, it was almost time. After waiting for a while, Lin Ziqi also arrived.

Seeing that Lin Ziqi was also dressed up, Qin Siyuan smiled.

There is no wall that is impenetrable in the world. What the elder sister knows, Lin Ziqi also knows.

Seeing that Qin Siyuan had also changed into a new set of clothes made of high-quality fabrics, Lin Ziqi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Siyuan, you came early."

Master Gu Liu smiled and said, "Ziqi, I'm going to pick up Siyuan."

Lin Ziqi: “…”

Why favor one over the other?

The two of them didn't even think of coming to pick me up.

Seeing him like this, Qin Siyuan smiled and said, "I went to the Marquis' Mansion to look for my eldest sister, and I met the Sixth Master. The Sixth Master mentioned it casually, and we made an appointment to come together."

"Oh," Lin Ziqi's expression looked better.

Gu Jingjun also understood something and said, “Yes, yes, Siyuan and I hit it off right away. I never thought that Third Sister-in-law’s relatives were all talented people.”

Lin Ziqi glanced at Gu Jingjun with a gloomy look in his eyes and said with a smile: “Your third sister-in-law is also a talented woman. She used to…”

Qin Siyuan immediately said seriously: "Ziqi, it is not appropriate to talk too much about the women in your family outside. It is better to avoid it."

Lin Ziqi was a little embarrassed.

Gu Jingjun was also stunned. After a while, he suddenly said to Qin Siyuan sincerely, "My dear brother, you are right. I will no longer ask about Ziqi's third sister-in-law."

He liked listening to Lin Ziqi talk about Qin Yuan, and because of this he became closer to Lin Ziqi.

Over time, it seemed that talking about the third sister-in-law had become a normal thing between the two of them.

If Qin Siyuan hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't have realized that he had made such a mistake.

After all, Lin Ziqi was engaged to the third sister-in-law, and he was the younger brother-in-law. They should be careful not to be in such a situation.

Glancing at Lin Ziqi who looked unhappy, Qin Siyuan said to Gu Jingjun, “It is a great honor to admit one’s mistakes and correct them. We are all relatives, so it’s okay. I am just worried that outsiders will hear about it and spread it everywhere. My eldest sister is knowledgeable, has a strong memory and extraordinary talent. I admire her very much. If she were a man, she would definitely pass the imperial examination. But she is different from other girls in the boudoir. She doesn’t like to show off her talent in front of others. It’s better for us to say less.”

Gu Jingjun nodded and sighed again.

Lin Ziqi asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"

Gu Jingjun lowered his eyes, hiding the sadness in his heart, and said: "I lament that I have studied since I was young, but I have not achieved any achievements. You two will take the imperial examination next year, and by then you will be on the list. I will be even further away from you two."

Lin Ziqi said: "As the saying goes, if you learn literary and martial arts, you can sell them to the emperor. You were born as the son of Dingbei Marquis Mansion. You already have what we want. Why do you still envy us scholars who have not even got an official position?"

These words did not make Gu Jingjun happy.

Seeing his long eyelashes trembling, Qin Siyuan couldn't help but feel pity for him and encouraged him, "Since Brother Gu cares so much, why don't you study hard and pass the exam to gain a good reputation?"

Lin Ziqi smiled secretly.

Gu Jingjun was a well-known lazy person. Wasn't it a joke to ask him to study hard and get a good degree?
It would be great if you could pass the imperial examination and become a scholar in this life.

Gu Jingjun asked hesitantly, “Brother, do you think I can do it?”

Qin Siyuan nodded heavily: "It's feasible."

Gu Jingjun was overjoyed and got closer to Qin Siyuan. Lin Ziqi's eyes were filled with gloom. Qin Siyuan usually looked like a gentleman, but he could actually please him.

Shameful and hateful!
