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

Chapter 290 Seeking Advice and Complaining
Lord Gu: "..."

Qin Jijiu was not so drunk just now.

Qin Siyuan chuckled.

Qin Heng said, "Yes, sister, my brother-in-law is worried. I'm afraid he won't be in the mood to ride a horse with me later."

"You think about riding all day long. You have no sense. Didn't you see that your brother-in-law is in trouble?"

Qin Jijiu began to scold his youngest son.

Qin Siyuan said, "Cousin, please give me some advice, otherwise uncle will scold me and make me cry."

"Sister, save me," Qin Heng called out in a fake voice.

Lord Gu: "..."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "I don't have any ideas. I wonder if the emperor wants to use our Marquis to pressure people he doesn't like? It's all about the selection of the Crown Princess. As the saying goes, there must be brave men under a big reward. As long as the emperor is sincere, there are many people willing to be the Crown Princess. Our Marquis is a military commander. No matter what he does, there will be people complaining. It's better to just ask the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate for a few people, gather them together, let them quarrel and that's it."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Jijiu sobered up immediately.

"What a good plan! My son is better than Zhuge Liang. What a good son-in-law! You are so lucky to have my daughter as your wife."

Gu Jinghui immediately said, “Father-in-law is right. It is indeed a blessing for me to marry Yuan’er.”

Qin Jijiu was quite excited, and even walked a few steps away from his seat. He turned around and said, "My dear son-in-law is already a god of war, so there is no need to take another step forward."

Qin Yuan smiled and poured a glass of wine, offering it to Qin Jijiu and saying, "Dad, let me offer you a glass."

Qin Jijiu took it and drank it all, then continued to praise.

"As expected of my daughter."

Qin Yuan smiled and instructed: "I'm going back over there. Don't eat too much. The Marquis will go to the palace to thank the emperor later."

Qin Heng sighed: "It's so difficult to play with my brother-in-law."

Gu Liuye hurriedly said, "I can ride a horse, but Third Brother's BMW can only be ridden by outsiders when Third Brother is with us. If you don't mind, you can ride with me later."

Qin Heng immediately became happy again.

Thinking that Marquis Gu would have to go to the palace to express his gratitude, everyone quickly drank a few cups and then dispersed.

After saying goodbye to Madam Gu, Qin Yuan escorted Cui out of the house. Cui said, "Your mother-in-law treats you very well, so you should serve her carefully. It would be even better if you have a boy or a girl in the future, and then I will feel relieved. Your sister and Lin Ziqi's crying mother make a scene all day long, and I am so angry that I have put a few white hairs on my head."

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it will be better if Mr. Lin passes the imperial examination."

Cui sighed and said, "I hope so. I'm afraid Mr. Lin's mother is even more stubborn and difficult to deal with. Your sister is a fool. She is only good at bullying others. She has been coaxed into not knowing what to do in the Lin family. The less I see her, the better."

Qin Yuan didn't know what to say to relieve her feelings.

Cui said, "You don't know, Mr. Lin's mother spent her dowry and complained that she came home too often for dinner. She also wanted to invite her cousin from her hometown to come. Your sister was so generous that she agreed immediately. I don't know if that cousin is a human or a ghost. If she comes, I'm afraid she will be in cahoots with Mrs. Lin."

Qin Yuan thought to herself that Qin Wan's life was much more comfortable than her previous life. In her previous life, Lin's mother had tortured her a lot, spent her money, and was always causing trouble for her.

Qin Wan's dowry was large and she was the legitimate daughter of the Qin family, so Lin's mother did not dare to go too far.

But after a long time, it is inevitable that you will be controlled.

Qin Yuan comforted her, "Mother, it's useless for you to be angry here. You can only ask someone to keep an eye on my sister. If anything happens, you can help."

Cui stamped her feet and said, "I am so angry. I owe her for giving birth to her. Why does she make me so worried?"

Seeing Qin Jijiu and others standing and talking not far away, Cui changed the topic and talked about the scenery of the Marquis' Mansion. Qin Yuan also said that there were some good fruits on the table, so he specially packed some of them, and added some snacks, tea, good ink and other things, and ordered people to put them on the carriage. Cui thanked him and got on the carriage.

Qin Jijiu left Qin Siyuan and Qin Heng in the Marquis' Mansion, and before leaving, he took advantage of the alcohol to admonish Gu Jinghui: "My dear son-in-law, you should read more."

Lord Gu lowered his hands and said respectfully, "Yes."

Qin Jijiu became more and more proud. He stood in front of the carriage door with his hands behind his back and wanted to say a few more words, but Cui pulled him and he fell silent. He was half-pushed and half-pushed into the carriage.

As the carriage drove away, Lord Gu could still hear Cui Shi saying, "It's fine if you're in the Imperial College, but you're putting on airs in front of your son-in-law. Do you think he's your student?"

"Well, what do you know..."

After watching the Qin family's carriage go away, Qin Yuan turned around and smiled at the few people, "The elders are all resting, let's go about our business."

Master Gu Liu took the two young masters of the Qin family to go boating, and also brought his two younger sons along to enjoy the cultural atmosphere.

Qin Yuan was also happy to have Mr. Gu Liu help with the entertaining.

He only specifically instructed: "Cousin Siyuan, come back and talk to me at Wutong Garden."

Qin Siyuan had something to tell her, so he said, "Okay."

Qin Heng felt a little jealous and said, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Qin Yuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Cousin Siyuan, would you not bring you along?"

Qin Heng was happy then.

Qin Yuan walked around for half a day, drank some wine, and felt a little tired, so he took a nap.

When she woke up, she found out that Lord Gu had bathed, changed clothes, washed and burned incense in the outer study room, and went to the palace to express his gratitude.

Cui Ming said, "The Marquis saw that you were tired, so he went to the outer study and asked Sixteen to serve you."

Qin Yuan responded, "The Marquis often sees the emperor, and Sixteen is used to serving him. Maybe it will be faster with him serving him."

Hongye brought in the list and asked, "Miss, would you like to see the list that the housekeepers and I have compiled?"

Qin Yuan said: "Of course I have to watch it. This is the highlight of my two days. Let's put everything else aside for now."

The three of them gathered together to look at the banquet menu, which recorded the guests, banquet rules, number of seats, ingredients, layout, types of cups, bowls, plates and dishes, spare parts and management... as well as living and resting places for guests, etc.

Very complicated.

Hongye sighed, "A wealthy family is a wealthy family. There are people in charge of parking carriages and horses, and taking care of everything. There can't be any mistakes."

Cui Ming said, "Not only that, the cloth curtains and embroidered curtains that will be used that day also need to be prepared in the needlework room. Some are often used and have been put away, while others are seasonal and need to be made on the spot."

Qin Yuan said, "In order to avoid mistakes, we have to rehearse it first, so that we don't end up short of manpower, tea, or broken dishes. It would be embarrassing if we have no one and nothing to use."

Whose banquet can be without any trouble or mistakes?

Hongye sighed.

Qin Yuan said, "That's why I told you to look after a few more people. With them to help you share some of the burden, and with the help of the housekeepers and housekeeper mothers, it will be easier. Otherwise, will I and the people around me be exhausted to death just to take care of all these things?"

When Mrs. Gu Liu heard her two children mention that their third aunt was going to hold a banquet to get rid of bad luck, she could not help but sneer and mocked her in private with Aunt Zhao.

"You've only been in the mansion for a short time, and you've already taken on this job. You really don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is."
