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

Chapter 211: Taking a Convenience
Qin Yuan also looked over.

I saw Mr. Gu Liu, wearing a straw hat and a coarse cloth short coat, squatting in the shade of a tree.

Because Lord Gu asked him, he slowly stood up, walked into the martial arts training ground, and said, "Third brother, Third sister-in-law, I heard Sixteen say that you were going to ride horses here, so I came to take a look."

His clothes were stained with mottled paint, giving him a rather unruly look.

Qin Yuan hadn't seen Lord Gu for a few days since he returned to Wutong Garden for dinner. She didn't expect him to be dressed like this.

Is this still the exquisitely dressed Mr. Gu Liu?
Qin Yuan looked at him in confusion.

Gu Jinghui asked: “You, why are you dressed like this today? Don’t you have any change of clothes?”

Lord Gu was deeply shocked.

My sixth brother has always been very particular. Is it because his wife was so busy taking care of the children that she forgot to prepare some clean clothes for him?

Gu Jingjun smiled lightly, looking even more gentle and obedient.

"Third brother, I am painting, so it is most appropriate to dress like this. I won't waste my good clothes."

Lord Gu turned his head and glanced at Qin Yuan who was sitting on the horse, as if asking her if that was the case.

Qin Yuan asked with a smile: "Is Sixth Brother looking for paints by himself?"

Gu Liuye immediately said, "That's right. After listening to what Third Sister-in-law said the other day, I thought about whether I could add a few paintings of flowers I grow every day to the end of the poetry collection. I can't make big paintings now, but I can still paint a few flowers. Now that I am sealed up, it's hard to buy those pigments. I used to have a lot of raw materials in stock at home, so I made some myself. I didn't want to waste my good clothes, so I changed into coarse cloth clothes."

Lord Gu was relieved and asked again, "Why don't you come and ride a horse? What are you doing sitting under the shade of the tree?"

Gu Liuye said, "I just want you to ride horses."

Lord Gu: “?”

What is this?
Qin Yuan asked, "Sixth brother, do you want to paint?"

Gu Liuye said, "Third sister-in-law is right. I watched you riding horses for a long time, so I could draw likenesses."

Qin Yuan said, "It seems that Sixth Brother is going to paint a horse. As long as you are good at one of flowers and birds, figures, horses, and landscapes, you can make friends through painting. If Sixth Brother wants to paint both people and horses, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than just painting one of them."

Master Gu Liu was stunned for a moment and said, "Third sister-in-law is right."

Seeing his expression, Qin Yuan knew that Master Gu Liu was unsure, so he said, "Why don't you try everything first, and then choose the one you are best at. This will take time."

Gu Liuye nodded and said, "Third sister-in-law is right. I just don't know how to choose. I wonder what Third sister-in-law is good at painting."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "I just entertain myself in my spare time. I usually practice calligraphy and paint when I feel like it. What I paint are nothing more than orchids and lotus, and occasionally I sketch flowers, birds and people. I have never done anything else. If Sixth Master wants to paint a horse, I will copy all kinds of pictures of horses."

Gu Liuye was like a soulmate, and said, "It's not easy to find a picture of a fine horse, so I thought since I have a horse at home, I might as well look at it often and capture its habits and charm. Maybe I can succeed. Can you also let me see the painting made by my third sister-in-law?"

Gu Jinghui stood aside, unable to get a word in, and the inferiority complex that had been suppressed before rose up again.

He was not good at anything that scholars were good at, so he stood aside and fiddled with the reins in his hand listlessly.

It was not until Li Nu blew out a breath of air in impatience that Master Gu Liu ended his greeting with Qin Yuan and said, "Third sister-in-law, you and Third brother ride first, I'll watch from the side."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Your third brother knows the temperament of horses very well. If he were to paint a horse, he might be able to do it very well."

Master Gu Liu also laughed and said, "Third brother never likes these things. He likes to wield swords and guns and to arrange troops. When he was a young master at home, he often went hunting with other generals and lieutenants' young masters when he had free time."

Gu Jinghui said in a muffled voice: "Since your third sister-in-law said so, I will give it a try." Gu Liuye: "..."

It seemed like I felt that something was not quite right with my third brother.

Qin Yuan glanced at Gu Jinghui and didn't respond.

Lord Gu said again: "I don't need to find a master to teach me, why not let your third sister-in-law take me in."

Master Gu Liu: “…”

Here we go again, here we go again.

It’s amazing that the third brother has three sisters-in-law.

Master Gu Liu said, "Well, I'll go sit under the shade of the tree first."

After driving away Master Gu Liu, Gu Jinghui was not very happy. He took Li Nu for another walk and happened to meet Gu Shiliu and Taxue coming over.

Xiaodong waved at Qin Yuan from afar, his face full of pride, "My Lord, Madam, I rode on the Taxue today, and I rode with my Lord. Now I know what it means to be lucky and unforgettable."

He started learning medicine with Doctor Li at a very young age and had few friends, so he could not brag to others that he had ridden the Marquis's horse and that the Marquis took him on the ride.

Otherwise, he would really brag until everyone knew that he, Nie Dong, had ridden on Marquis Dingbei's horse that could walk on snow without leaving any traces, and that Marquis Dingbei had held him in his arms.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Do you want the Marquis to take you for another ride?"

Xiaodong looked at Gu Jinghui timidly.

Qin Yuan said softly, "My Lord, please take Xiaodong for a ride. In two days, they will be going back."

Gu Jinghui turned around and asked her sullenly, “What about you?”

Qin Yuan said: "I can get on and off the horse now, and Li Nu is docile. I want to ride it for a slow walk."

After saying that, Qin Yuan looked at Lord Gu pleadingly.

Although Gu Jinghui was reluctant, he still said: “Then let Sixteen follow.”

Gu Shiliu was called over and followed closely. If anything happened to Li Nu, he would protect him immediately.

After Gu Jinghui settled down, he jumped onto the horse's back and with a squeeze of his feet, the horse's back started to fly away, with the horse's tail and mane flying all over the place.

Xiaodong couldn't help laughing and shouting, he was extremely happy.

Qin Yuan sat on Li Nu's back, shook the reins and made it trot.

Gu Shiliu followed very closely, and Qin Yuan didn't want to appear too impressive, so she just ran slowly along the edge. When she came back after running, Xiaodong was already walking on the snow, waiting for her with a smile on his face.

Gu Jinghui came forward and praised: “Yuan’er, you are really smart. My sixth brother has been learning horse riding for several days, but you have learned it so quickly.”

Xiaodong couldn't help but said proudly, "Of course, my senior sister... my wife is very smart. She learned most of the acupuncture techniques passed down by the master just by watching him do acupuncture. The master said that if my senior sister studied medicine, she would be the reincarnation of Hua Tuo."

Gu Jinghui was surprised when he heard this. He took a few steps forward, reached out and lifted Qin Yuan off the horse, and asked, "Is what Xiaodong said true?"

Qin Yuan nestled in Lord Gu's arms, her small hands gently combing the hair around his ears, and she said softly, "It's just a coincidence. My maternal grandfather's family was originally a family of doctors. My mother married into the Qin family because they suffered a disaster. I have read some medical books since I was a child, and even my dowry included many medical books left by my maternal grandfather. Otherwise, how could I match those incense?"

She had been looking for an opportunity to tell her life story, and Xiaodong's slip of the tongue was an opportunity.
