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

Chapter 199 I'd better go
Medicinal incense is a rare item.

It is already amazing that Qin Yuan can mix several kinds of medicinal incense.

Madam Gu once said to Rong Mama with emotion: "Although Yuan'er's dowry includes less gold and silver shops, it is not a small amount to leave these few perfume recipes to future generations."

From what Qin Yuan said, it seems that she still has many recipes that she hasn't taken out.

This is truly amazing.

Qin Yuan chuckled and said, "My maternal grandfather's family has been practicing medicine for generations. Although they lost the lawsuit, they left behind several medical books and prescriptions for future generations. I often read them when I was young, and I learned a little bit."

Aunt Rong knew Qin Yuan's personality, and said that he had learned some basic skills, which meant that he had made some progress at least.

"Madam is really smart. My son-in-law was amazed by the Camphor and Sandalwood Pills you prepared. He said that it took decades of hard work to make these pills. When he learned that it was prepared by Madam herself, he remained silent for several days."

Madam Gu also said, "Yuan'er, you have to take good care of this incense recipe of yours, and you must not pass it on to others. There are many people who can make incense, and many ladies have become famous for making incense, but that is only used to fumigate clothes and other things. Yours is special, it can regulate the body and mind, and it is much better than those. These are all family heirlooms, you are young and don't know, good medicinal incense is a rare thing."

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "I have taken note of what mother and Madam Rong said."

Rong Mama then said, "If you are talking about the business with Ranxiangju, Madam, if you want to share the profits with the incense recipe, just choose a few items for daily use. Even if Madam is doing business on her own, she doesn't have to show off all her skills. After all, the incense recipe is a rare thing, so there is no need to show it to others. Even if you make a good incense pill, you can be as rich as a country."

Qin Yuan pondered over these words, seeming to be thinking about something.

Madam Gu also agreed, "She is right. You have a few incense recipes, which is enough. You can't make all the money in the world by yourself, right? When Dingbei Marquis's Mansion can take care of it, it's fine, but you can't use up all the power. No one has foresight, and there will always be things that can't be taken care of in the mansion. Besides, if there are too many good things, people will covet them and it will cause trouble."

This is also good advice for dealing with the world.

Qin Yuan said that she would keep in mind everything the two said and would only take one or two daily-used incense recipes as a share. As for how she would deal with the relationship between her shop and Ranxiangju, she could first discuss the rules with Manager Leng.

Cheng Ge'er was listening with great interest, glancing at Qin Yuan from time to time, as if he had something to say.

Qin Yuan saw it but ignored it.

Aunt Rong asked the small kitchen to prepare the food, Qiuju and Xiaohong were busy arranging the dishes, and Old Lady Gu asked Chengger and Yujie to stay to have dinner together.

The two of them were much better mannered than before.

Especially Cheng Ge'er, his speech and behavior seemed to have been completely changed.

Qin Yuan coaxed Madam Gu into eating an extra bowl of rice, and she herself ate slowly until she was full.

After dinner, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while.

Madam Gu said, "I found some bracelets last time and wanted to ask someone to send them over, but thinking about the current situation in the mansion, I didn't send anyone out to cause trouble. It just so happens that you are here today, so you can wear them back."

Qiu Ju smiled and said, "The old lady has been talking about this for a long time, saying that these bracelets will look great on you."

Aunt Rong said, "Why don't you take it out?"

Qiuju hurried to get it, and soon brought in a small box.

The box is made of ebony, small and exquisite. The carving took a lot of effort, and the birds and trees on the lid are lifelike.

Qin Yuan was the first to exclaim: "This box is really beautiful. Mother's things are really good. Even a small box is so exquisite."

Madam Gu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Even if you don't praise me like that, most of my things will be yours in the future."

Qin Yuan said: "Oh, mother doesn't allow me to speak the truth."

She had just finished her meal, her lips were rosy, and the small mole on the tip of her delicate nose made her look very playful.

Old Madam Gu liked good-looking girls to begin with, and seeing her like this, she liked her even more. She smiled and said, "Okay, okay, mom knows you are sincere. Take a look at these strings. Don't just look at the box." Qin Yuan then stretched out her hand and opened the box. The box had a hidden buckle, and it would open with a slight flick of the latch when pressed. If she didn't press the right spot, it would not open even if it fell to the ground.

Qin Yuan said: "What a wonderful work of art."

Rong Mama couldn't help laughing and said, "I think Madam wants to buy the casket and return the pearl."

Old Madam Gu was worried about Qin Yuan and she wanted to open the box for her, take out the beads and put them on her.

Cheng Ge'er came over and said, "I know the story of buying the casket and returning the pearl."

Xiao Hong asked, "What is that?"

Cheng Ge'er is about to start telling a story.

Yu Jie'er put her little head against Qin Yuan's waist, staring at the box with envy, waiting to see the good stuff inside.

"Haha, that won't happen." Qin Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Mom, these are all good things. The box is so good, and the beads must be even better."

Finally, the lid of the box was opened, and three strings of beads were placed inside, one string of coral and agate, one string of black jade and glass, and one string of emerald and miscellaneous jade.

Yu Jie'er's eyes lit up and she exclaimed "Wow".

Madam Gu looked at Qin Yuan proudly and asked, "How is it?"

Qin Yuan was pleasantly surprised and said, "That's great! Is mother giving me all the treasures she has kept in her closet?"

Madam Gu said, "Don't think your mother is that poor. This coral agate was given by the empress in the palace. This black jade and glass is the least valuable, but it looks very nice when strung together. Mother likes the color, so she kept it. The most valuable is this jadeite and mixed jade. The jadeite on it is of the same material as the jade pendant I gave you, so they match perfectly. However, it also has mixed jade inside, so it doesn't make a complete set."

Qin Yuan wore them one string after another on her hands.

Her skin was delicate and fair, her fingers were as slender as new onions, and her nails were pointed and dyed the color of balsam.

The afterglow of the setting sun cast a layer of gold on it.

It is so beautiful that words cannot describe it.

Everyone was stunned.

"It's beautiful, it's really beautiful,"

Xiaohong couldn't help but scream.

Then everyone praised it.

"What's good to see?"

Lord Gu lifted the curtain and strode in.

When she saw him, Qin Yuan remembered that Lord Gu was supposed to have dinner in Wutong Garden, so why did he come to the upper room now?

Before she could say anything, Madam Gu asked curiously, "Why are you all here one after another today?"

Cheng Ge'er had already rushed over, shouting "Godfather" and hugged Lord Gu's legs, and Yu Jie'er also came over.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Why are you here, Lord? I'm trying out the bracelet here with my mother."

Lord Gu looked at his mother with an aggrieved look on his face, then looked at his young wife, and said, "Is mother unhappy to see me? I have nowhere to eat, so I thought of coming to mother's place to get some food, but I didn't expect mother to be so unhappy to see me, so I'd better leave."
