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

Chapter 253 Family Banquet
That's true.

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Sixth Master, do you also want to have a gathering in the mansion?"

Men of letters and poets all like to travel and enjoy the scenery, while girls in the boudoir like to appreciate flowers, paint, recite poems and compose couplets at home. Although they all set up their own societies, there are still some big differences between them.

Qiu Ju said, "Sixth Master said he would discuss it with Young Master Qin before making a decision, so the old lady naturally agreed."

"Oh," Qin Yuan knew that this matter would not succeed.

However, after opening the mansion, she still has to hold a banquet to wash away the bad luck, and she can't escape this job.

After Qiuju left, Qin Yuan asked Cuiming, "Didn't Shen Changle send in a collection of poems?"

Cui Ming went out to ask, and came back after a while, saying, "Perhaps he was left in the outer courtyard, and the servants sent him to the Sixth Master."

Qin Yuan said: "Forget it, I'll go to the upper room later."

She had seen the previous edition.

The new edition added poems and postscripts by the two adults, and paintings signed by Mr. Gu Liu, and there is nothing else to change.

After the finalization, it will be put on sale.

If we calculate the time, maybe we can catch the banquet after the opening of the Marquis' Mansion, and then we can also save face for Qin Siyuan and Mr. Gu Liu.

She had always been quick-witted and had already thought of several ways to create a reputation for the two of them. She just had to do it step by step.

It was already dark, and Gu Jinghui did not come to Wutong Garden again, nor did he send anyone to deliver a message.

Hongye said, "How about sending a little girl over to ask?"

Qin Yuan shook her head: "Hurry up and help me comb my hair and change my clothes. Even though it's a family dinner, we can't be negligent. We should go to the upper room early to serve the old lady."

Hongye asked, "Will the Marquis blame me for not waiting for him again?"

Qin Yuan said: "He can complain as much as he wants, and I will do mine. I can't always be around him. As a daughter-in-law, I must first serve my mother-in-law."

She thought to herself, "My mother-in-law serves me well and can beat the Marquis on my behalf. She is my biggest thigh and I must hold her tightly. The Marquis only needs to respect and coax her on weekdays and not make mistakes."

It’s hard to say this out loud, it depends on when Hongye can figure it out.

Cui Ming took advantage of Qin Yuan changing clothes behind the screen and whispered to Hong Ye, "You are silly. If the Marquis asked the young lady to wait for him and he was late, wouldn't the young lady offend the old lady? A son is always closer than a daughter-in-law. The Marquis asked the old lady to wait because she felt sorry for the Marquis' busy schedule. If the young lady asked the old lady to wait, the old lady might feel neglected by her daughter-in-law."

Hongye laughed dryly twice: "Hey, didn't I think about coming here?"

Cui Ming said softly, "I know you hope that the young lady and her husband will love each other, but don't forget that in the back house, the mother-in-law is the sky for the daughter-in-law, and "filial piety" is the first priority in every dynasty. Our young lady is lucky to have met the old lady, but she must be more careful and cherish her blessings."

Hongye blushed and nodded randomly, "I'll remember that."

Cui Ming sighed, "I don't know how long you can remember it."

"Killing someone is not enough, dear sister, please don't embarrass me. If I make a mistake again, just tell me directly."

Qin Yuan came out from behind the screen and said, "What are you guys mumbling about? Come and help me think of a headdress."

Cui Ming hurried over to comb her hair. The three of them discussed for a long time, and finally they combed her hair into a high bun, pinned a peony in her hair, and used a set of jade head ornaments given by the old lady. Paired with a green silk shirt and flawless white skin, she looked striking and dignified.

"So beautiful, this is how a lady should dress," Hongye exclaimed with a smile.

Qin Yuan was a little hesitant.

“Isn’t it a bit too eye-catching?”

Cui Ming said, "Young lady's beauty cannot be concealed. She only looks like this after a little dressing up. You can't just wear anything you want at a family dinner without any dressing up."

Hongye said, "The old lady will definitely be happy to see you dressed like this."

She was tactful this time and didn't mention the Marquis. Qin Yuan said, "Well, let's go now."

Mr. Gu Liu had been waiting in the upper room for a long time. When he saw Qin Yuan come in, his eyes were full of surprise, but he immediately lowered his eyelids, not daring to look again.

"Mother and Sixth Brother are both here. I thought I was the first one to arrive."

After Qin Yuan paid her respects, she sat down next to Old Madam Gu.

Sure enough, seeing Qin Yuan wearing the headgear she gave her, Madam Gu was very happy and said with a smile, "That's how you should dress. Children look good when they wear red and green. Don't learn from those weird ones who wear plain clothes. It looks very dull."

Mr. Gu Liu lowered his head and drank his tea in silence. He could not join in the conversation.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "My mother's things are the best. I also wear jadeite on weekdays, but it's not as beautiful as this one."

Aunt Rong said, "If Madam continues to praise us like this, the old lady will ask us to search the bottom of the box again."

"Why?" Qin Yuan asked in a humorous tone.

"Of course I will find a better-looking headpiece to give to Madam, since she loves beauties the most."

All the maids and old women in the room were laughing.

"You old fool, you just like to talk nonsense," said Mrs. Gu, "Tell the two children to stop learning and come out to meet people."

Since it's a family dinner, it should be lively and lively.

Qiuju went to call Zihe.

Madam Gu asked again, "Do you want to release the pearl?"

Before Qin Yuan could say anything, Master Gu Liu said, "Forget it, forget it. She still has to stay in the yard. If you ask her to come out, Third Brother will get angry again and force her to sew, which will be fatal."

"let it go."

Aunt Rong said, "If the old lady wants to have fun, why not invite the concubines of the Sixth Master together?"

Madam Gu said, "Alright, let them bring their children here too. The Sixth Elder is now starting to do his work, so let the children take a good look at him."

Master Gu Liu put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Mother, do you really want them to come too?"

Madam Gu said, "Before your wife was in charge of the household, I was too lazy to take care of your affairs and rarely asked them to come to the upper room to pay their respects. Today is your wedding day, so let them come and meet your sister-in-law."

Qin Yuan will be the head of the family in the future, so he still needs to meet these people.

What’s more, there is Sixth Master’s child.

Master Gu Liu said, "My son will follow my mother's instructions."

As they were talking, the twins, a boy and a girl, were brought in. As soon as they came in, they bowed and greeted people politely, being much more respectful than before.

Master Gu Liu did not hide his displeasure and deliberately said in amazement: "Mother is really good at disciplining people. These two little bullies have learned some etiquette now."

Cheng Ge'er took Yu Jie'er to sit beside Qin Yuan and said, "Stepmother, my son has been studying these days. He will be obedient and will never do anything wrong again. Can you ask for mercy for us in front of our stepfather and ask him not to send us away?"

Yu Jie'er also sobbed and said, "Stepmother, you are so beautiful and fragrant, just like a fairy from heaven. I don't want to leave my stepfather. They all say that my stepfather listens to my stepmother the most. Can you help us to speak for me?"

Qin Yuan: “…”

Madam Gu's face darkened.

Rong Mama immediately tried to smooth things over, "Don't listen to their nonsense. How can Madam make decisions for the Marquis? The Marquis treats you as his own children, and he is considering you when he sends you away."
