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

Chapter 282 Check it out carefully
When the incense balls were bought, the King of Qi asked, "What is the use of this incense?"

"One is called Sandalwood Camphor Pills. Ladies can light it when chanting Buddha's name or doing homework. It can calm the mind and refresh the spirit. Another kind can soothe the stomach and calm the mind. It is very useful in the hot summer when you can't eat or sleep."

The King of Qi nodded and said, "Go back."

The carriage of the palace turned around quickly. The King of Qi picked up the incense pill and put it under his nose to sniff it. He asked, "How much does this incense pill cost? Can ordinary people afford it?"

"One tael of silver for ten pills. Ranxiangju said they don't make a lot of them, and many women from ordinary families buy them. After all, this can regulate the body and has some medicinal uses, which is different from the ordinary pills for fumigating clothes and adding fragrance. Ranxiangju said they use ordinary spices and they are new goods, so the price is cheap. I won't do that in the future."

The King of Qi nodded slowly.

After returning to the Prince of Qi's mansion, the Prince of Qi went to the study first, took off his purse, ordered someone to light incense balls, and sat quietly for a while.

The fragrance soon filled the room.

After a while, the King of Qi stood up and took out a tiny flower hairpin from the box on the table and played with it carefully. His brows relaxed and he murmured softly, "It seems that the fragrance left in my carriage last time was also the work of this young marquis' wife."

He would never forget the fragrance of that time. He thought he was overthinking it, but he didn't expect that she was really good at making medicinal incense.

When the incense ball turned into ashes, the King of Qi ordered the chief guard to come and "check the wife of Marquis Dingbei carefully."

……

When Gu Jinghui returned to the outer courtyard, he heard Master Gu Liu calling him, "Brother, Third Brother."

"what happened?"

Gu Jinghui frowned.

He was so busy that the person he least wanted to deal with at this moment was Mr. Gu Liu.

But Master Liu insisted on sticking to him and happily presented him with treasures.

"Third brother, look at this, do you think I wrote it well?"

Gu Jinghui took the letter and read it aloud.

"Now the disease in the mansion has been cured, the lotus in the garden is in full bloom, the lotus leaves cover the sky and the sun, the fish are playing in the pond and you can't tell east, west, south or north. If you can come, I will warm up the wine to welcome you, and we will go boating in the lotus pond and get drunk together!"

"Did you write this?"

Gu Jinghui was quite surprised.

"Of course I wrote it. I would like to invite Qin Siyuan to come to my house for a gathering and discuss the next poetry gathering."

The engraving of the poetry collection gave Mr. Gu Liu more courage and he wanted to keep working on it.

Gu Jinghui said: “It’s well written. At least I think it’s very good and has a lot of literary talent.”

"Really?"

Master Gu Liu looked at his third brother suspiciously.

Although I am very happy to hear the praise from my third brother, his knowledge is not that good. Even if he says it is good and has great literary talent, it may not be true.

"real."

Gu Jinghui thought for a moment and said, "Why not have someone send it to your third sister-in-law to have a look."

"Okay," Mr. Gu Liu agreed very readily.

My third sister-in-law is a family member, so it’s okay to embarrass her.

Qin Siyuan had said long ago that when studying, one should not be ashamed to ask questions from those who are less knowledgeable than him. Moreover, his third sister-in-law's knowledge and experience far surpassed his own, so he was very impressed.

The boy took the letter and went to the second gate to find the old woman to tell her the truth.

Gu Jinghui asked: "Sixth brother, how many poetry collections did Shen Changle give you? Give some to me, and I will send some to General Jin and the others to read."

"No more."

Mr. Gu Liu was somewhat resistant.

"Why?" Gu Jinghui was very confused.

Master Gu Liu said, "General Jin and his men don't like poetry. These are what the refined and educated people like. If you give them poetry, they will just say a few nice words for the sake of face and then throw it away to gather dust in a corner. It's better to show them how to wield swords and sticks and treat them to wine and meat."

Gu Jinghui glanced at him and said, "Bring a few dozen copies to me first. This is an order."

Master Gu Liu: "...Okay..."

Gu Jinghui ignored him and told the servant, "Go to the village and find a storyteller who can tell the story of the Three Kingdoms. Then ask him to stay in the mansion for a few days. If you have time, tell the story for me. The money is negotiable."

Since you are slow at reading, you might as well just listen to what others say.

He always finds a way to finish the book.

His sixth brother's words alerted him. It was possible that his wife disliked him behind his back.

The servant hesitated, "My Lord, do you want a solo storyteller or the new type of encore?"

"If you want to speak well, you can explain the Three Kingdoms clearly. It would be even better if you can explain the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period clearly."

The servant ran away.

Gu Liuye asked in confusion: "Why did Third Brother start listening to the Three Kingdoms? He even invited someone to his house to tell the story."

Gu Jinghui couldn't say that he couldn't read, and his wife was unwilling to teach him, so he had to resort to this last resort.

“I have my own uses,” Gu Jinghui said with a stern face.

Master Gu Liu: “…”

The letter was quickly sent back, and the servant said, "Sixth Master, Madam said it was well written, but the two young masters have been in the Imperial College for a long time, and they haven't seen Sixth Master and Madam for a long time. Do you want to postpone it for a few days?"

Lord Gu looked at Lord Gu Liu.

"Madam, your consideration is reasonable. They have lived in the Imperial College for so long, and they have been worried and frightened. Now that they have finally come back, they see that Sixth Brother's wife is not in good health. I don't know how sad they must be. If you just play around, the children may blame you in the future."

Master Gu Liu thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. We can let the two children go boating with us. Brother Siyuan is well-educated. I benefit a lot every time I listen to him talk. If we let the two children spend time with him early, they will be influenced by him and maybe they can learn more about literature. They can't stay by Xu's bedside all day."

Seeing that he was so determined, Lord Gu stopped trying to persuade him as he had a lot of things to do.

Master Gu Liu ordered the servant again: "Report what I said to the Marquis's wife."

Lord Gu said, "You are very careful."

Gu Liuye said, "Third sister-in-law cares about me, I have to appreciate it. Third brother, I won't say more to you, I will write the post now."

After receiving the instructions, the servant hurried to the second gate and found a maid to help him pass on the message.

After hearing this, Qin Yuan smiled and told the old woman, "Go tell Sixth Master, I know, my cousin is also familiar with the two children in the Imperial College, Sixth Master just needs to make up his mind."

The old woman agreed.

Cui Ming sighed, "Sixth Master really likes our Young Master."

Hongye doesn't think so.

"It should be said that Young Master Tang likes Sixth Master."

"Why do you say that?" Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Please tell me in detail."

Hongye said, "After Tang Shaoye entered the Imperial College, he buried himself in his studies and seldom socialized with others. Among those he interacted with, there was no one like Sixth Master. Sixth Master also had a bad reputation among scholars, which shows that few people treated him sincerely. Take Mr. Lin for example. When he first met Sixth Master, he was just so-so to him. But Tang Shaoye treated Sixth Master sincerely, and Sixth Master was not ungrateful. They were both sincere, so naturally they became closer."

Cui Ming said, "That's true."

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "That makes sense. I warned my cousin before that the Sixth Master was a bit frivolous and had a lot of concubines. I didn't expect that after the Sixth Master got to know my cousin, he seemed like a different person. If this can last for a long time, the Sixth Master will definitely be reborn."

As they were talking, a housekeeper came to report: "The Marquis has invited Mr. Songshan from outside to stay in the mansion for a while. It is said that he is a very good storyteller. The Marquis said that he should be well accommodated."
