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

Chapter 200

Who has ever seen Lord Gu act like this? Madam Gu said, "Okay, okay, Third Brother, I'll arrange it for you right away. I'll ask Qiuju to ask Xiuniang to make you something you like to eat."

Qiuju responded and went out.

Gu Jinghui looked at Qin Yuan stubbornly, tilted his head slightly, and asked: "Have you eaten?"

Qin Yuan felt a little guilty for some reason. She fiddled with her bracelet and said softly, "I have eaten with my mother."

Gu Jinghui remained silent, but continued to stare at Qin Yuan.

Madam Gu said, "Third brother, it's been so long since Yuan'er came to have a meal with me, and you're feeling wronged? If you come here to bully Yuan'er, it depends on whether I agree or not."

"How dare I bully her? Isn't she protected by my mother? My mother only has eyes for her daughter-in-law. There is no place for me."

Gu Jinghui muttered.

There was an inexplicable sense of grievance in his voice.

Qin Yuan said, "My husband, haven't you eaten yet? I came to my mother's place today to discuss something and to accompany her for dinner. I forgot to send someone to deliver the message. It's my fault."

Gu Jinghui felt better then and said, "Well, I'm still hungry."

Qin Yuan had originally planned to leave, but seeing this, she had no choice but to stay and finish the meal with Gu Jinghui.

Madam Gu and the other two were chatting about some small talk, discussing how to match the beads together to look good. Gu Jinghui was listening and eating beside them, occasionally trying to interject a few words.

This made Madam Gu a little annoyed with him.

Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er were both very fond of their adoptive father. They sat next to each other and talked about many topics one after another. Gu Jinghui mostly just made some "hmm" and "ah" noises to get rid of them.

The two children didn't think there was anything wrong and became happier the more they talked.

Qin Yuan glanced and saw it, and couldn't help but smile.

Madam Gu said, "Yuan'er, Hui'er is very patient with children, isn't he?"

The implication is that Gu Jinghui will be better to his own children.

It’s just that I can’t say it clearly because of the two children here.

Qin Yuan smiled and nodded.

Gu Jinghui finished his meal quickly, chatted with Old Madam Gu for a few more words, and then left with Qin Yuan.

Madam Gu said to Aunt Rong, "This third child is becoming more and more spoiled. I can't stand him any more."

As he spoke, he shook off the goose bumps on his body.

It seems to be about to fall all over the floor.

Aunt Rong laughed and said, "This is because they have a good relationship. The Marquis is only like this with his wife."

"I thought he would be tough all his life," Old Madam Gu couldn't help but sneer.

Rong Mama asked Xiaohong to take the two children away, and then said: "Madam is really low-key. Look how well she manages this mansion. The Marquis also gave her the front yard, but she didn't hear anything wrong. After the mansion is opened, the household expenses of this mansion..."

Madam Gu frowned and said, "Of course I know Yuan'er is capable, but she doesn't show off. For example, she knows how to make medical perfume. If a daughter of any family knows this, everyone in the capital will know it, but she keeps it to herself. As for her appearance, it is also one of the best, but no one has even heard of it." "But, I still feel a little uneasy about suddenly handing over all the household duties to her."

"If nothing else, just talking about Sister Zhen, I'm afraid the Xu family won't let it go. If I let the Sixth Old Wife hand over the power, it's unclear who she will side with. She has always been biased towards the Xu family. I usually turn a blind eye and don't really care. She is also short-sighted. There are not a few left by Madam Wen. Sigh, some things are hard to say directly."

Old Madam Gu kept muttering.

Rong Mama thought for a moment and said, "Sometimes I feel that if I hesitate to make a decision, I will suffer the consequences. Regarding Xu Zhen, I heard that the Sixth Master has warned the Sixth Madam several times, asking the Xu family not to target the Qin family, but the Sixth Madam didn't listen at all, otherwise such a thing wouldn't have happened. If I don't hand over the household expenses to Madam this time, it will be difficult to think about it in the future. As the saying goes, a big tail cannot be cut off."

Madam Gu sighed and said, "Let me think about it. The Sixth Old Wife can't come out these days. Besides, there's no need to wait until she comes out to talk about the household affairs. Let's just put it off for now."

Aunt Rong said nothing more.

Madam Gu added, "Maybe the gods and Buddhas saw all the suffering Hui-ge-er had to endure for more than 20 years, so they gave him Yuan-er as a compensation. You see, he is becoming more and more lively now. In the past, people said he was a piece of wood."

Rong Mama couldn't help but laugh and said, "Where can such a handsome and beautiful wooden man be found? The Marquis has been teasing young ladies since he was young. If he wasn't a little quiet, I'm afraid the Marquis's Mansion would be full."

……

Lord Gu took Qin Yuan back to Wutong Garden and sat on the Luohan bed in the main room. He then said, "I came here desperately to find you, but you ran away without even leaving a message."

Qin Yuan smiled and comforted him: "It's my fault, but why did the Marquis go to the upper room?"

"I had no interest in accompanying Lao Liu. Thinking that you and mom were having so much fun, I went to look for you. Lao Liu started to indulge in the picture album again. He spent half a day reciting poems and the other half drawing. It kept him busy."

He was originally driven half crazy by Qin Siyuan, and now he was driven completely crazy by Qin Yuan.

Gu Jinghui frowned in disdain.

Qin Yuan just looked at him and smiled. Gu Jinghui cleared his throat and said, "I came here because I have something to ask you."

"what happened?"

"Didn't you ask someone to help you look into the pepper issue? The current market price is fifty-five taels of silver per pound. I don't know what the Qi Palace is busy with these days. The merchants can't contact the chief of the Qi Palace and can't get accurate information. The wealthy merchants are planning to raise money to send a second batch of ships out to sea to look for pepper."

After a pause, Gu Jinghui asked worriedly, "Are you still going to stock up on pepper?"

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "I dreamed that this is the best time. We must give it a try. Didn't my husband say that even if I lose money, it won't be much. Besides, you can help me sell it to Saibei."

She looked at him with a delicate expression, her tone intimate and dependent, Gu Jinghui's heart melted, he stretched out his arms, embraced her in his arms, and said softly: "Okay, I'll take care of everything for you, but don't buy too much."

"I get it. We can't use up all our power, and we can't expect all the money to be earned by me alone." Qin Yuan leaned in his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, and smiled as she repeated what the old lady had said.

Gu Jinghui nodded heavily, "That's right. I know you are very smart. You must have your reasons for doing this. It is definitely not just a dream. You don't have to tell me the reason. But when we fight on the battlefield, we will never calculate everything. If we calculate everything, we will win a lot when we are right, but we will be powerless when we lose. We must know that man's plans are not as good as God's plans. Once we are powerless to change the situation, we will be at the mercy of others in the future. It is better to be safe and take risks when the time is right. Don't be restrained by desire."

Qin Yuan nodded.

Old Madam Gu and Marquis Gu are indeed mother and son, as they have the same ideas.

Gu Jinghui sighed and said, "We have to leave again. You should rest early. You have worked hard these days."

Qin Yuan was a little surprised that he was so straightforward, but Gu Jinghui took her hand and kneaded it for a long time, saying: "Mother is really discerning, you look good in these beads. Fortunately, you can open your own house soon."
