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

Chapter 271 Great Power
As there was total silence on the field, Butler Zhang did not dare to reply.

Lord Gu had heard the whisper of Accountant Sun, and suddenly his lightning-like gaze shot over. He was startled and shrank his long neck, not daring to make another sound.

At this time, Qin Yuan had already said some words of encouragement, affirming everyone's hard work in the mansion during these days, and ordered Hongye beside him to take the booklet and read out his evaluation of everyone.

After reading it, Hongye said in a clear voice: "If you are dissatisfied, come find me after we disperse."

Next, Qin Yuan talked about the rewards and punishments for everyone.

Except for a few people who cannot show it openly, everyone has a share.

Rewards and punishments are naturally based on evaluations, and the evaluations are related to the decisions of the managers and the housekeepers. Each item and each rule has its own legal basis.

Everyone was convinced.

Mr. Gu Liu was watching from the side and suddenly felt that being a housekeeper should not be too difficult.

Just set the rules and urge everyone to follow them.

It is not as trivial as when Xu was in charge.

"Everyone has worked hard these days. Madam has asked the old lady and the marquis to give everyone an extra 1 tael of silver as labor compensation. You can take it back and buy some snacks and fruits to eat and have fun."

Cuiming, Hongmian and others helped count the silver and handed it to the people who came closer after their names were called.

Because there were so many people in the mansion, it took nearly an hour to complete the whole process.

Lord Gu sat with him throughout the whole process without showing any impatience.

After receiving the money, everyone naturally vied with each other to say good things about their master, saying that his master was kind, compassionate to the weak and young, considerate of his servants, wise and capable, and so on.

The corners of Qin Yuan's lips were slightly raised, and she always had a faint smile on her face. She neither rejected everyone's approach nor was she so happy that she forgot her limits.

Accountant Sun saw this and felt very tormented. After waiting for everyone to leave, he quickly grabbed Butler Zhang and asked, "Sixth Madam, are you not taking care of the family? She has controlled everyone's heart so tightly. With rewards and punishments, the Marquis and Sixth Master sat with her the whole time, and all these fence-sitters fell."

Butler Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "You still don't know? The Sixth Madam is so ill that she can't even get up. How can she have the energy to take care of these things? From now on, isn't this Madam's world?"

Accountant Sun was shocked.

"when did it happen?"

Butler Zhang said, "After the Sixth Madam's courtyard was sealed, she became ill from worrying too much. She just kept putting it off until she could no longer put it off, so she took the medicine. Of course you didn't know about this since you were in the outer accounting office."

Accountant Sun pondered over this sentence carefully, and sighed with a sense of regret: "Sixth Madam is too cautious. Why did it come to this? It's really a case of losing the big for the small. Can this illness be delayed?"

Housekeeper Zhang nodded and sighed, "Women, in the backyard, can only see so little of the world, so it's inevitable that they are narrow-minded and think too much. Besides, with all the things that have happened in the mansion recently, anyone would think too much."

Accountant Sun asked anxiously: "So what will we do from now on..."

Butler Zhang quickly raised his hand to stop him from saying anything, saying, "Now that it's like this, you'd better stop. I dare not move again. If I get caught, all the reputation accumulated by several generations will be gone."

Accountant Sun and Butler Zhang were not on the same page, so Sun returned to the accounting office with a heavy heart to count the account books.

Butler Han and Butler Cao were sitting inside talking animatedly, and when they saw him coming, they just nodded slightly.

Accountant Sun made a few random calculations with his abacus, then stopped and listened to them.

Butler Han said, "The Marquis really loves Madam. He is usually cold and icy, but today when he sat beside her, he didn't even look stern once."

Housekeeper Cao said, "Madam is really capable. She has taken on the heavy responsibility of the mansion at such a young age. She is also very much loved by the old lady. Even the Sixth Master, who hates these things the most, praises Madam very much."

Housekeeper Han sighed and said, "Don't mention it. Madam's chamberlain, the one with the surname Shen, did a really great job this time. The collection of poems he printed for the Marquis is said to be very brilliant. The old lady was very happy to see it. She gave generous rewards to everyone in the upper and lower rooms, and even had someone take it to the ancestral hall to burn for the old Marquis, so that the old Marquis could see how much the Sixth Master has improved." Housekeeper Cao took the small teapot, took a sip, and then said, "Isn't it true? The servants around the Sixth Master also received a lot of rewards, and they have been showing off in the outer courtyard these two days."

"Sixth Master has always been the old lady's concern. Madam is helping Sixth Master to improve. How can the old lady not be happy? This is also Madam's thoughtfulness. In the future, Sixth Master's reputation will only get better and better. The Marquis will also be more glorious to have a brother who is improving."

"Yes, I heard that the Sixth Master made great progress because he was close to Madam's cousin. You can imagine that Madam is the daughter of the Imperial Academy's chief priest. The daughters of civil servants are indeed different. Qiu Ju said that the old lady loves to listen to Madam talk the most, and that people who read a lot talk differently."

Accountant Sun could hardly bear to listen any longer.

Housekeeper Han added, "I usually think you flatter the Madam too much. No matter how capable she is, she has been in the mansion for less than a year and is young. She has not experienced much, and there is the Sixth Madam in front of her. Who knew you had a pair of discerning eyes?"

Butler Cao laughed out loud.

"I don't have any insight. I just respect the lady for being so young and capable. The sixteenth brother is the most lively person around the marquis. Do you think he treats the lady? I am just learning from the sixteenth brother."

Butler Han smiled and said, "No matter what, you are right."

Butler Cao took the small teapot, smiled, and sipped the tea comfortably.

The silence speaks.

Anyone could see how proud he was.

Accountant Sun gritted his teeth. He was very dissatisfied, but he had to suppress it for the time being.

Although Butler Han and Butler Cao did not mention him in any of their conversations, every word they said seemed to be mocking him.

They ridiculed him for being blind and for not being able to see the situation clearly.

Accountant Sun had a gloomy face and randomly picked up the daily account at hand and looked through it. He thought to himself that these two people were praising Qin Yuan too much. Even if Qin Yuan took over the inner courtyard, could he still extend his hand to the front courtyard?
Those arrogant maids took the account books away, and there has been no response till now. It is obvious that there is nothing that can be done.

These days are just a temporary measure for the Marquis.

After everything was back to normal, the Marquis's wife could only retreat back to the inner courtyard.

Ah!
He was thinking about this and that by himself, with a bad look on his face. Butler Han and Butler Cao saw it and were too lazy to pay attention to him.

……

Hongye and Hongmian stayed behind to wait for those who felt unfair to come and appeal, while Qin Yuan took Cuiming back to Wutong Garden.

Lord Gu and Lord Gu Liu returned to the study in the outer courtyard together.

He asked Master Gu Liu, "What do you think of Professor Pang's medical skills?"

Gu Liuye shook his head and said, "It's hard to tell. Let's wait for Xu to take some medicine and see."

Gu Jinghui groaned in silence.

Master Gu Liu asked, "Third brother, do you think there is something wrong?"

Gu Jinghui said slowly: “What if his ability is not as good as Doctor Li’s?”

Master Gu Liu didn't even think about it and said, "How is this possible?"

The Imperial Medical Service is a gathering of the most talented doctors in the world. Many of them have medical skills passed down from generation to generation and have family traditions. How can ordinary people compare to them?

The director of the hospital is the head of the imperial physicians, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the person with the highest medical skills in this dynasty.

Doctor Li’s medical skills may be better than those of Doctor Liu and others, but they are definitely not better than those of Yuanzheng Pang.
