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

Chapter 264 This is a skill
"This is really weird," Gu Shiliu muttered.

"What's wrong?" asked Lord Gu.

Gu Shiliu said, "Madam wants to go see Brother Qi and his mother, and asked me to invite the Marquis to go with her. The courtyard has already been told."

Lord Gu responded and walked away. Gu Shiliu followed behind him and said, "Young Master Qi's mother is a bit strange. I am considered to be very smart, but I always ignore her."

"Oh?" Lord Gu stopped and said, "I have also heard Xiaodong mention that she sits in meditation all day, and they always forget to think of her when they talk or do things. Although her eyesight is not clear, her ears are very sharp, otherwise she would not have heard about Doctor Liu."

Gu Shiliu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turns out it wasn't just my illusion."

Lord Gu nodded: "This is her ability."

When they reached the courtyard, Qin Yuan had already arrived. Brother Qi and his blind mother were standing in the courtyard. Xiaodong and Doctor Li were not there. When they saw Lord Gu coming, everyone hurried to greet him.

As the house was small and there were so many people, they chatted under the awning in the yard.

Lord Gu first asked about Brother Qi's health, and then said some polite words, "In the future, the cost of Aunt Qi's eye treatment will be charged to the account of the Marquis' Mansion. Doctor Li of Renhe Hall has excellent medical skills and will definitely make Aunt Qi recover as before."

The old woman hurriedly pulled Brother Qi to the ground, kowtowed several times, and choked up, "What can this old servant say? The Marquis and his wife are kind-hearted, and they will surely be rewarded in the future. The lives of this old servant and my son belong to the Marquis's mansion, and we will fight for them and die for them."

Qin Yuan hurriedly asked Hongye and Gu Shiliu to help them up, and said with a smile: "Please don't cry. Doctor Li said that you need to take good care of your illness. Your eyes are damaged by crying. It will be too late to cry again when your eyes are healed."

The blind old woman responded with both tears and laughter, and stood silently to one side.

Qin Yuan ordered Hongmian to hand the prepared clothes, snacks and other items to Brother Qi.

Brother Qi took it with a red face and said, "Thank you Madam for the gift. I haven't used up the things that the masters gave me last time. I really don't know how to thank you."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "They are not expensive things. These fabrics can be used by your mother. The food and other things are not worth much. Just eat them when you have nothing to do. If you have any inconvenience living here, tell Sixteen or Hongye. If someone makes things difficult for you or is not attentive, just tell them. There are many people in the mansion, so it is inevitable that some people will talk nonsense and use tiger skins as a banner. If you are wronged, it is all my fault."

Brother Qi said quickly, "No, no, Madam is a very good housekeeper, and everyone respects her. Although I am young, I know what is good and what is bad. If it weren't for Madam, this time in the mansion would have been difficult to get through. We all say privately that Madam is probably a fairy from heaven, and only the Marquis is a good match."

He was young and his words were nonsense and he had no sense of propriety, but these words made Lord Gu very happy and he looked at Qin Yuan triumphantly.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Take good care of yourself. When you are well again, the Marquis will have some work for you."

Brother Qi was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked him again and again.

After Gu Jinghui and Qin Yuan left the courtyard, Gu Shiliu suddenly said, “Sure enough, the masters have also forgotten about Brother Qi’s mother.”

The two of them realized it then.

Gu Jinghui said: “It’s really strange. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, it would really be…”

He had completely forgotten about Brother Qi's mother just now. When saying goodbye, Brother Qi's mother should have also greeted him, but he just ignored her.

Qin Yuan was also surprised: "If Sixteen hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't even remember whether I had said goodbye to Brother Qi's mother just now."

Hongye smiled and said, "Otherwise, how can we achieve great success?"

Hong Mian quickly answered, "Ever since Brother Qi's mother went blind, she often sits in silence. Sometimes she joins in the fun and listens to gossip. As long as she doesn't make a sound, no one notices her presence." Qin Yuan nodded and said, "This is also a skill."

Hongmian looked at Hongye proudly.

Qin Yuan asked again: "The government office will be opened in two days, how are things going?"

Hongmian said: "I have finished organizing the book and handed it to Sister Hongye."

Hongye glanced at Hongmian and said, "We haven't checked it yet. We just took a quick look."

Qin Yuan said: "If you are unsure about something, you can ask Sixteen."

Gu Shiliu said hurriedly, "I don't know what it is. As long as Miss Hongye wants my help, I will tell you everything I know."

Gu Jinghui also looked over.

Just as Hongmian was about to speak, Hongye pinched her hand and she quickly shut up.

Qin Yuan raised her head and said to Gu Jinghui, “Didn’t I say it in public before that everyone should abide by the rules and regulations? When the government office opens, rewards and punishments will be given according to performance during this period. Let the stewards and stewardesses report it and let Hongmian sort it out.”

Gu Jinghui nodded and said, "Indeed, without trust, one cannot stand. You did the right thing."

After saying that, he pulled Qin Yuan over, and the two of them walked quietly for a while. Gu Jinghui then said, “I’m sorry to have tired you out these days. In the future… I’ll have to trouble you more in the future.”

Qin Yuan asked curiously, "Why? Are you going to be busy with something important in the next few days?"

Gu Jinghui sighed and said, “Marquis Anyuan sent me a message saying that the emperor has been very dissatisfied with the three dukes and nine ministers for some reason these days. Not only do they blame people for everything, but he also wants to launch a capital inspection.”

"Beijing inspection?"

Qin Yuan was quite puzzled.

According to the rules, the imperial examinations were conducted on civil servants below the third rank, while officials above the third rank and the emperor's close ministers were judged by the emperor himself.

Lord Gu had just returned to the capital less than a year ago. He was still a military general with a hereditary title, so it had nothing to do with him no matter how you looked at it.

Gu Jinghui was a little annoyed, nodded, and said: "The emperor praised the memorial I submitted for being well-written, with a heart for Daxing and proper work. If all the ministers were like me, Daxing Dynasty would be forever stable. The emperor did not send the memorial out, so no one knew what I wrote. Marquis Anyuan came to inquire about this from me, and also said that this time the imperial inspection was probably caused by me, and the emperor might want me to be in charge of this inspection."

Qin Yuan: “…”

It’s her fault that she wrote the memorial too well and ended up in such trouble.

The emperor's refusal to issue any memorials seemed to be an attempt to vent his anger.

Qin Yuan sighed secretly in her heart. She had written so many disease prevention measures, but if she couldn't publish them, there would be no way to spread them through the court bulletin. Wouldn't it be a waste?

Gu Jinghui lowered his head and looked at the top of her head, and said quietly: "I originally thought that after opening the mansion, I would go to the camp to get busy. I felt a little reluctant to leave you in the mansion and only see you once every ten days. If the emperor really arranges me to be in charge of the imperial inspection, I am afraid that I will be too busy to even see you. It is better for me to go to the camp."

Qin Yuan blushed, but still managed to coax him with shyness, "I heard that the imperial examination is the business of civil officials. You are a military officer and you just returned to the court. You are not familiar with these things at all. Even if you are responsible, you can't do everything. You have to arrange some censors and assistant ministers of the Ministry of Personnel to help you. Besides, you don't know what the emperor is planning. If he really likes you, you'd better find a way to turn it down."
