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

Chapter 299 Selection
Gu Jingcheng also smiled and nodded, saying, "I mean, I've never seen the Marquis like that. He usually has a stern face and is very cold. Before the old Marquis got into trouble, the Marquis was still young and good-looking. Although he wasn't that cold, he didn't talk to people much and looked like he didn't want to be approached by strangers. His eldest brother always said that he was like a wooden man, with a stern face, but he was good-looking for nothing."

Dai said, "After getting married, with a woman to take care of him, things will naturally be different. His brother has been married for so many years and has several children."

Gu Jingcheng said, "That's right. He kept bragging about how good his wife was. I couldn't leave and could only listen. What's more, I even heard him call her aunt and mother with my own ears. Tell me what you think."

"The Marquis's wife is really capable," Dai sighed, "I also went to sit with the bride in their bridal chamber that day. I have to say that Miss Zhao is really not decent. Later, she caused so many troubles. The Marquis's wife is like a fairy. I heard that she is the delicate daughter of a civil official. The old lady loves her like crazy. The Marquis got married when he was almost 30 years old. How could she not win her over? Miss Zhao is also very ambitious. She even wants to use the grace of her late husband to save her life to get close to the Marquis. It's really..."

Gu Jingcheng said, "Zhao is not a good person, but I think the twins are not bad. Now that they have been taught the rules, they are not as arrogant and rude as they say. They are tall and strong, and look like northerners. In addition, Cheng Ge'er is studying hard and is an ambitious child."

Dai sighed, "The Marquis's mansion has made such an arrangement, which obviously hasn't offended them. It would be great if this matter could be accomplished."

Gu Jingcheng said: "We are not the only ones who want to succeed."

Not long after, Gu Jinghui sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that the matter had been settled, and that an auspicious day would be chosen to hold a banquet and let the twins worship Gu Jingcheng.

Gu Jingcheng and Dai were so happy that they used the almanac to calculate the date.

Gu Jinghui had completed a major task in his heart, and he was more loving to the twins than before. Cheng Ge'er took the opportunity to beg, "Foster father, Yu Jie'er and I went to our foster father's house, and the people serving us have changed. I'm afraid I won't be used to it."

Rong Mama had received Qin Yuan's instructions long ago, and she chimed in: "Indeed, Cheng Ge'er and his friends went there. Although they live close to us, we can't be ignorant of everything. What if they are wronged? Why not let them choose a few familiar people to take them away and serve them."

Gu Jinghui hesitated.

Madam Gu said, "We just need to explain this to them. If they were teenagers, it would be fine, but they are only five years old and their mother just abandoned them. We can't do this."

Gu Jinghui asked Cheng Ge'er: "Those people are you going to take with you?"

Cheng Ge'er had already made up his mind and said, "My sister and I need to hire a teacher, and one of us needs to study with a female teacher. The teacher can be invited to live at home, and the female teacher can be shared with Seventh Aunt."

Lord Gu nodded: "You have calculated clearly, very good."

Cheng Ge'er said, "Zihe and Xiaohong have been following us, and I want to take them with me. There is also a night watchwoman named Yang in the yard who I get along with, so I'll let her go with me and do some rough work. The elders will take care of the arrangements for the rest. We need too many people, and I'm not sure if my foster father can accommodate them."

At first, when Gu Jinghui saw Cheng Ge'er talking to him in a serious manner, he couldn't help but sigh. The child was growing up day by day. But when he heard about Grandma Yang, the curiosity in his heart disappeared.

Seeing that his godfather didn't respond, Cheng Ge'er stopped talking and hesitantly whispered, "Godfather?"

Lord Gu then said, "Okay, they are just a few people, you can arrange them however you want, but why do you still like Old Lady Yang?"

Cheng Ge'er said, "She has no children, and the maids in the courtyard are not close to her. They always let her take night shifts. She has nothing to do during the day, and sometimes she would run into us and talk. I feel that she is quite pitiful, and a bit like my wet nurse."

Lord Gu's eyes turned cold, and his brows suddenly became sharp.

"In that case, you can take them away. Their deeds are all with the old lady. Wait until you are used to living next door, then let them come back, so as not to make your adoptive parents feel uncomfortable."

Cheng Ge'er nodded in agreement. Zihe and Xiaohong were somewhat reluctant but did not say anything to refuse.

But when the night watchwoman Yang was called to the corridor, she heard that she would follow the twins to serve in another family. She smiled and said, "I have no children, so I don't have anything to worry about. The old lady arranged for me to guard the yard because she was kind. It's good for me to follow the young master there. First, the old lady will be relieved, and second, I can serve the young master until he grows up."

Madam Gu said, "In that case, you can go with them. It's rare that Brother Cheng and his sister get along with you."

Mother Yang quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Madam Gu, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam. Now I have a place to stay. I will definitely take good care of the young masters and repay you for your kindness."

Madam Gu said, "You have no children, so it's better for you to stay with Cheng Ge'er and the others than to stay here with me to guard the yard. They are brothers and sisters who get along well with you, so you should pay more attention to them. Zihe and Xiaohong are young, so it's inevitable that they may not be thoughtful enough."

Mother Yang said hurriedly, "I will definitely live up to the old lady's trust."

The matter was settled.

Gu Jinghui said to Cheng Ge’er, “We’ve chosen an auspicious date and held the family recognition banquet. This matter is now settled. The Marquis’ Mansion is in the next courtyard. Once it’s sorted out, your adoptive parents can move in and you can move in with them.”

Cheng Ge'er took Yu Jie'er and bowed, saying, "Thank you, foster father, for your thoughtful arrangements."

Madam Gu tried to smooth things over, saying, "Qiu Ju has already prepared the food, let's eat together. You will be busy with work in a few days, so I'm afraid you won't have time to take care of these things. Have a good meal with Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er."

Gu Jinghui agreed and took the twins to sit down. Yu Jieer sat next to him and asked curiously, "Why didn't I see my stepmother?"

Lord Gu said, "She is busy with other things."

Sister Yu said with some regret: "My stepmother is so beautiful. It will be hard to see her in the future."

Lord Gu found it somewhat amusing.

"You live in the courtyard next door, but you have sealed the small door and treated it as a visit between the two families. Don't you mean to say that you won't come to visit your grandmother and aunts in the mansion?"

Yu Jieer said, "My adoptive father knows the rules even less than I do. We are all children, and we are only allowed to be taken care of by adults. When we go to my adoptive parents' homes, we have to greet them every day. It is naturally not as convenient as before to come to my grandmother's place, and it is not so easy to run into my adoptive mother."

Lord Gu was speechless.

"If you don't miss Aunt Baozhu, why do you miss your stepmother?"

Yu Jie'er said, "Foster father, you forgot again. I will follow Aunt Baozhu's female teacher to study and learn women's work, so I will see you often."

Lord Gu held his forehead and said, "Indeed, I forgot again."

He seemed worried throughout the meal.
