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

Chapter 295 Congeniality
Madam Gu said hurriedly, "Mr. Songshan, my daughter-in-law is only a little girl. You are well-spoken and knowledgeable, so I believe you must be good at poetry. Let her learn more. If she really has some ideas after reading, if she says something wrong, you can just smile and let it go. If she says something right, you can nod your head, but don't say the word "instruction"."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Mother is right. How can I say 'guidance'?"

Mr. Songshan said hurriedly, "The ancients said: Hearing the music, one can know the elegant meaning. Hearing your words, one can know your profound attainments. I have traveled for many years and have seen many smart and beautiful women. They all have their own strengths, and some of them are very talented in writing poems. What you just said is far superior to all the other women."

Gu Jinghui's face became even more pleased, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Songshan, just order someone to send the manuscript over. Even my father-in-law praised my wife's knowledge and talent, but writers like to be modest."

Mr. Songshan smiled and said, "Lord Gu has a straightforward personality, which is very compatible with me."

"really?"

Gu Jinghui raised his eyebrows.

Mr. Songshan said solemnly, "Of course it's true. When I first entered the mansion, I was a little worried that the Marquis was in a high position and it would be difficult to get close to him. I didn't expect that the Marquis would be so approachable and straightforward."

Gu Jinghui waved his hand and said, “That’s perfect. I also like to listen to Mr. Songshan’s storytelling. If you are willing, you may as well stay in the mansion for a long time. You can tell me stories and talk to me when you have time, so that I can learn more.”

Mr. Songshan smiled and said, "That's what I wish for."

Qin Heng and Qin Siyuan were overjoyed: "..."

The two of them spent half a day trying, but in the end, it was Lord Gu who made the final decision.

Qin Yuan smiled and glanced at Gu Jinghui.

I have to say, Lord Gu is really lucky.

Mr. Songshan and Lord Gu toasted each other and soon became drunk. Qin Yuan hurriedly ordered the servant to help Mr. Songshan back to the courtyard to rest.

Mr. Songshan was still muttering that he wanted his wife to comment on his poems.

After the banquet, Qin Siyuan and Qin Heng stayed with Master Gu Liu to talk.

Lord Gu instructed Gu Shiliu, "If your brother-in-law wants to ride a horse, you can take him to play for a while."

He followed Qin Yuan back to Wutong Garden to take a rest.

After not seeing each other for one night, he had a lot to say to his young wife.

Hongye wandered around the mansion to inquire about the news, Cuiming went to the sewing room to supervise the work, and Qin Yuan instructed the little maid Mozhu to make the bed and help with washing and hairdressing.

After washing up, I changed my clothes and got into bed.

Then Lord Gu stopped Mo Zhu and said, "No need to come. Why bother?"

Mo Zhu said, "This is the remaining water from Madam. It has gone cold. Why don't I ask someone to bring some new water?"

Lord Gu said, "It's okay."

He didn't need anyone else to help him. He quickly washed up with the water Qin Yuan had left, and then got on the bed.

Qin Yuan asked: "Husband, do you have anything else to do later? Can't you wait for such a short time?"

Lord Gu looked at Qin Yuan, his sharp eyebrows slightly curved, a small flame burning in his dark and bright eyes, his expression was very meaningful, and he said softly: "What do you think I am busy with? Huh?"

"Be honest."

Qin Yuan's face suddenly became hot, all the way to the top of his head.

I feel like my hair is getting hot.

Lord Gu is really...

Qin Yuan didn't dare to look at him again. She turned around and pulled the green gauze quilt upwards, as if she wanted to hide herself inside it.

Lord Gu laughed in a muffled voice, "Yuan'er, tell me why I should be honest? How honest can a husband and wife be? We have been married for so long, but we have never consummated our marriage..."

Qin Yuan said: "Not today, not today."

"Why?"

Gu Jinghui put away his smile, frowned, and asked in disappointment and dissatisfaction: "Why don't you want to consummate the marriage?"

Qin Yuan's voice came softly.

"I have been busy with various things these days. The Queen of Smallpox has not yet been sent away. We have to wait until the Queen of Smallpox is gone and then fast for three days..." Lord Gu's expression froze: "..."

Seeing that he had not made any move, Qin Yuan became suspicious. She turned around slowly and met Lord Gu's eyes which were full of disappointment and accusation.

"Husband?"

Qin Yuan's voice became soft and sweet involuntarily, and her curled eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was at a loss, and as if she had been wronged.

Lord Gu collapsed on the soft embroidered mattress and snorted, "Don't call me, I'm going to be mad to death."

Hearing him say this, Qin Yuan's lips curled slightly, then quickly retracted, and hurriedly said: "Husband, what's wrong with you? Why are you angry?"

Lord Gu used his strong forearms to exert a little force and pulled Qin Yuan into his arms. He gently bit her small, white ear. The heat from his breath made her feel itchy all over and she couldn't help but curl up.

"Why are you so angry? You are amazing. You ask questions even though you know the answer."

Qin Yuan: “Oh, oh, oh.”

Lord Gu said, "You should send Lady Smallpox away quickly today."

Following his wanton hands, Qin Yuan sobbed softly: "Hmm..."

After a long while, Lord Gu finally let go of the limp fairy on his body and sighed, "I'm going to the clean room, you take a rest first."

Qin Yuan responded softly and fell asleep.

I don't know how much time had passed, but I was pulled into a firm embrace that smelled of soapberries, and continued to sleep in the warmth.

When I woke up, the quilt beside me was cold.

Qin Yuan asked: "What time is it?"

Mo Zhu's voice came from outside: "Madam, it's not even the last minute yet, Madam, are you going to get up?"

Qin Yuan said: "Come in."

She was in a deep sleep, partly because she had drunk alcohol and partly because Lord Gu had made her dizzy.

After Mo Zhu came in, she asked again, "Where is the Marquis?"

Mo Zhu said, "Gu Shiliu went to the front yard to look for the Marquis and said someone from the distant Gu family had come and that Gu Shiba had found out something."

Qin Yuan knew that it must be Gu Jingcheng from the ninth branch of the Gu family who had come.

She didn't want to interfere, and it seemed that Lord Gu didn't want her to interfere either.

Qin Yuan asked again: "Where are Hongye and Cuiming?"

Mo Zhu said: "He hasn't come back yet."

Qin Yuan got up and changed her clothes. The little maid said outside, "Madam, a servant came and brought a box. He said that Mr. Songshan asked him to send it."

"Bring it in quickly."

The maid brought it in and said, "Madam, Doctor Li and Xiaodong came to change the medicine for Brother Qi and his mother, and also came to greet you. The Marquis happened to see them, so he asked Gu Shiliu to take Xiaodong to go riding with Master Qin."

Qin Yuan said: "I understand."

Doctor Li had made an appointment to come to the marquis's residence for a consultation in a few days.

Knowing that Xiaodong and Qin Heng were riding horses together, Qin Yuan thought about it and changed into riding clothes and took Mozhu and Hongmian to the martial arts training ground.

Seeing that Xiaodong and Qin Heng were riding horses each, and that Gu Liuye and Gu Shiliu were accompanying them, Qin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the horse slave to bring Li Nu over.

Xiaodong and Qin Heng stopped the horses in front of her one after another. After a few words, Qin Yuan couldn't help asking, "Where is my cousin?" "Brother Siyuan and Mr. Songshan are talking again. They don't care about us at all."

Mr. Gu Liu didn't look very happy.

Qin Heng took credit: "Big sister, am I okay today?"

Qin Yuan asked: "Do you mean riding a horse? Or acting with the two cousins?"
