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

Chapter 227: Establish a Big
Gu Shiliu chimed in, "That's right, we just finished it here, and Madam has also made arrangements."

Lord Gu smiled proudly and said, "Then you should keep an eye on Xiaohong and Hongye. You may know a lot of things in the upper room."

Gu Shiliu also laughed: "It has to be the Marquis."

Then he smiled and said, "Hongye sometimes talks to me, but not much. When the two of them get together, they mostly talk about Master Cheng and Miss Yu."

Lord Gu said, "Let them go. Those two children..."

He paused, and then said no more.

Gu Shiliu also understood.

Neither Madam Gu nor Lord Gu mentioned punishing the two children anymore, nor did they even force them to apologize to Brother Qi. It was not because they were biased, but because they were disappointed.

I am afraid that once the mansion is opened, Lord Gu will find a way to place these two children.

But how to place these two children was really a headache. As the most capable guard beside the Marquis, he couldn't figure it out.

Gu Jinghui changed the subject and asked, “Why does Fengxuan Pavilion also have a dog hole?”

Gu Shiliu said: "The guards don't know either. They just checked everywhere, but they don't know when it was left behind."

Who would check these things on weekdays?

Gu Jinghui asked again: "Are there any traces of climbing?"

Gu Shiliu nodded and said, "Yes, after Zhao ran away, Zihe and the others fell ill, and everyone in the courtyard was locked up. I guess no one has time to take care of Fengxuan Pavilion."

Gu Jinghui asked again: "Are there any other places with dog holes?"

Gu Shiliu said, "There are dog holes in the outer courtyard and Doctor Li's courtyard. In addition, there are also dog holes in several abandoned courtyards."

Gu Jinghui pondered for a long while, his face becoming increasingly darker, and he finally asked, “Have you checked all the abandoned yards in the mansion? Besides the dog hole, did you see anything else?”

Gu Shiliu was stunned for a moment, and then he said after a while: "It was my negligence."

Gu Jinghui frowned and said, “When Zhao suddenly disappeared, I only thought of her as a widow with a secret. Plus, the mansion was in chaos, so I couldn’t take care of her. Now that I think about it, it’s not too much to be on guard.”

There are many people who want to take over Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

In Lord Gu's eyes, everyone is divided into his own people and others.

Zhao is now a person with ulterior motives and unknown origins, and has lived in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion for more than half a year, so we naturally have to be on guard against her.

Only by being cautious and careful can you win every battle.

Gu Shiliu said: "I understand. I will immediately arrange for the guards to investigate quietly."

Just as Gu Shiliu was about to leave, Lord Gu said, "If there is any news from Shishiba, report it immediately."

"Yes."

After Gu Shiliu left, Lord Gu snorted coldly and said, "Good, good, very good."

Qin Yuan also got the news soon, and she said, "There really is a dog hole in Fengxuan Pavilion."

Hongye immediately stood up, "Good fellow."

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to find Madam Cai."

Hongye immediately ordered someone to invite Mother Cai.

Mother Cai rushed over, not even having time to wipe the sweat off her head, and asked hurriedly, "What instructions does Madam have?"

Qin Yuan smiled and asked her to sit down.

"It's nothing serious. It's just that last time Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er ran out from the dog hole in the upper room and almost bumped into the princess. I was thinking, is there any way to block those dog holes to prevent the children from crawling in and out, which is not decent."

Madam Cai frowned and thought for a while, then said, "The old lady likes to keep puppies, so I'll order someone to make the dog hole smaller." Hongye interrupted, "I heard that the owner of the upper room made the dog hole bigger because he felt sorry for the dog and didn't want to dirty its fur. Does Madam Cai have any solution?"

Madam Cai immediately said, "I will take some glazed tiles and embed them in the inner circle, and let the maids who clean the place clean it diligently. But it will cost a bit more."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Mother Cai is really an experienced person. She has a solution. For this, we are worried about nothing."

Mother Cai smiled happily and said, "This is all I know."

Qin Yuan said, "Then do as Madam Cai says. Madam Cai will calculate the amount of materials needed and directly write an order here, and have Hongye or Cuiming sign for it."

Mother Cai smiled and said, "Madam is really efficient in doing things."

It is not so convenient to follow Mrs. Gu Liu's instructions. It takes several trips back and forth every time.

Hongye smiled and said, "Then Madam Cai, please come with me."

Mother Cai asked quietly, "Ms. Hongye, how many dog ​​holes do you need to build?"

Hongye said: "It's okay, just cultivate six first."

Mother Cai was surprised and asked, "So many?"

Hongye nodded and said, "Of course, those abandoned yards can be sealed directly."

Mother Cai said, "That needs to be carefully calculated."

The two of them calculated for a while, wrote out a list, signed their signature, and then Mother Cai could go to get the materials and start the construction.

Before leaving, Mother Cai said, "This isn't difficult, but it's a bit time-consuming. I'm afraid I can't finish it today and will have to wait until tomorrow."

Hongye said, "It's okay. Madam knows that everyone in the mansion is on duty because of the smallpox. Just finish it tomorrow, but you still have to inspect it after it's done."

Mother Cai said, "That's natural."

When it was dark, Madam Cai came to report, "Madam, the work is finished. We can only inspect it tomorrow afternoon."

Qin Yuan asked curiously: "Why so fast?"

Madam Cai said, "The maids from each courtyard can help if they have nothing to do. It will be done soon."

Hongye said with emotion: "Mother Cai is very popular."

Madam Cai quickly smiled and waved her hands, saying, "It's not that I'm popular, but recently everyone is waiting to open the mansion, and there's nothing to do. When they heard that it was Madam who wanted to do it, they all came to help. This is a labor-intensive task in the first place."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Hongye, go get two strings of money and give them to Mama Cai to treat everyone to a drink. We can't drink in our house right now because of the smallpox. You can drink after the house opens."

Mother Cai said happily, "Thank you, Madam, for the reward."

The money is not much, but I am happy.

Mother Cai took the money back and distributed it to the old women who helped her, and naturally everyone praised the Marquis's wife.

After learning this, Hongye said, "The young lady's reputation is getting better and better."

Qin Yuan disagreed. Looking at the account book in his hand, he smiled and said, "Reputation is not important. Having a good reputation is good, but I still like prestige."

"Why do you say that?"

Qin Yuan said: "I need strict discipline."

Cui Ming said, "Young lady is now in charge of the affairs of the front and back yards. You have established your authority and shown your kindness. How can these people not obey you?"

Qin Yuan glanced at Cui Ming and chuckled, "You, this is nothing. It's just because of Tian Xiao and the Marquis that everyone has to listen to my arrangements temporarily. But it is indeed better than when we first entered the mansion."

Hongye rolled her eyes, took the account book on the table and said, "I'll sort these out as soon as possible. Tomorrow I'll go with Hongmian to ask Sun the accountant for the account books. If we want to establish our authority, let's do it in a big way."
