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

Chapter 301 Showing off his skills again

Gu Jinghui became happier as he spoke, "With a well-educated mother like you to discipline her, she will definitely not be as domineering and annoying as Gu Baozhu when she grows up. I will love her more than I love Gu Baozhu, and let her live a more carefree and comfortable life than Gu Baozhu."

The daughter of a civil official should be well-educated and well-mannered, and the daughter of a military general should be free and unrestrained.

Qin Yuan raised her head and glanced at Gu Jinghui.

Well, this is quite difficult indeed.

Gu Jinghui was also looking down at her, his handsome and unruly face looking even more chiseled in the dim light.

What a handsome man.

Qin Yuan couldn't help but think that their children, no matter whether they were boys or girls, would definitely be very good-looking.

While I was in a trance, I heard the shouts of Hongye and Mozhu behind me.

"Master Marquis, madam."

Qin Yuan swallowed the words in her mouth and hummed quietly: "They are coming."

Lord Gu muttered, "It's really fast."

Qin Yuan didn't hear clearly, so he turned his head and asked, "What?"

"Nothing," Lord Gu said calmly, "I just said that Hongye is really capable. She found the things so quickly and caught up with us."

Qin Yuan nodded and praised: "Hongye is efficient and straightforward, and is indeed capable."

Lord Gu hummed a few times.

The two of them had already turned around the rockery while they were talking. Qin Yuan couldn't help but let out a light cry and ran forward a few steps before stopping.

Behind the rockery is a pond, with overgrown water plants, dancing fireflies, a crescent moon on the dome, and a few sparse stars floating in the dark blue night sky. It is so beautiful that it leaves one speechless.

Qin Yuan, wearing a gauze skirt, stood gracefully among the twinkling fluorescent lights, like a fairy descending to earth.

She stared at the beautiful scenery in front of her with fascination, while Gu Jinghui stood behind her blankly holding the lantern in his hand, staring at her slender and graceful figure with fascination.

The scene before my eyes was so beautiful that it seemed like an unreal dream.

How could he have deserved to marry such a beautiful lady?

While I was in a daze, I heard Qin Yuan's gentle sigh.

“No wonder Emperor Yang of Sui once ordered people to catch a lot of fireflies and release them in Jinghua Palace. I heard that the scenery was so beautiful that he even built a “firefly release garden” in Yangzhou.”

Gu Jinghui stared at her beautiful and soft figure in the sky full of fireflies with his eyes shining brightly, and replied dully: "It's really beautiful, did he... catch a lot of fireflies to release?"

Qin Yuan said: "Yangzhou is a poetic and picturesque place, and the grass and fireflies are so beautiful. Fireflies are "poetic insects", which are known for their desolate, lonely, wet, cool and beautiful artistic conception. Du Mei once wrote a poem, "Silver candlelight in autumn cools the painting screen, and a light silk fan flutters the fireflies..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Jinghui said, “Now that you put it this way, I know why Emperor Sui Yang wanted to build the Firefly Garden.”

"Why?"

Gu Jinghui smiled and said sincerely: “It would be very beautiful if Yuan’er were to catch fireflies.”

The tenderness in his narrow eyes seemed to be overflowing.

Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked at him, and said with a smile: "You can't compare with anyone else, you should compare with him."

Gu Jinghui said hurriedly: "How can I compare with him? He has so many beauties, but I only have you."

He had also studied for a few years and served as a companion in the palace. Of course, he knew the story of Emperor Yang of Sui who was obsessed with beauty, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling in Yangzhou, and was finally killed by Yu Wenzhi.

Although Emperor Yang of Sui was an emperor and was said to be handsome and intelligent, in the eyes of Marquis Gu, he was just a fool who was addicted to wine and sex, was fooled by others, and eventually died and his country was destroyed.

He wouldn't be that stupid.

Seeing Qin Yuan’s dark face, Gu Jinghui hurriedly said, “You are enough for me.”

Qin Yuan's face turned hot again and he lowered his head.

Hongye and Mozhu arrived breathlessly and could not help but exclaim, "My Lord, Madam, this place is so beautiful. There are so many fireflies. Why not catch more and make firefly lanterns?"

Mo Zhu became more playful and agreed with a smile.

"Yes, yes, every year someone sells that lantern. It looks really nice when you put it in the house at night."

Gu Jinghui didn't respond and just stared at Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan turned away, her ears red, without even looking at him, and just said, "Hongye is right, let's catch more."

Hongye proudly took out a small bag for catching fireflies and said, "Just wait for us. We will definitely catch a big bag full of them tonight. We can make as many as you want."

Several people divided the things and were busy.

For a moment, there was constant laughter and joy. Gu Jinghui's eyebrows became softer, and the smile on the corners of his lips became more and more intense. His eyes were completely glued to Qin Yuan, who was wearing a fluttering gauze skirt.

Occasionally, when red leaves were seen, they pretended not to know, and they kept getting further and further away from the black bamboo.

Gu Jinghui stayed beside Qin Yuan, occasionally helping her catch fireflies flying by. In the end, seeing that Qin Yuan was tired of playing, he simply handed the lamp to Qin Yuan, took off his coat, tapped his toes, and danced among the fireflies. In half an incense stick of time, he had caught a bag of fireflies with his clothes.

"My Lord, you are so handsome."

Hongye and Mozhu's eyes sparkled and they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Qin Yuan also thought it looked beautiful.

Lord Gu rose and fell as gracefully as a startled swan, and the little dots of firefly light added a bit of beauty to his handsome and unruly face.

She stared blankly until Lord Gu landed on the ground and walked up to her, then she came to her senses.

"Let's go, there's no room left."

Lord Gu looked down at her, his eyebrows curved.

"okay."

When Qin Yuan came back to her senses, she found her hand already held by Lord Gu, and her heart began to wander again.

It was the first time for the maids in Wutong Garden to see so many fireflies. They were very excited and busy running around.

Cui Ming and others had already sewed a lot of hanging bags and hung them inside the bed.

Hongmian and a few maids found many palace lanterns and made them into firefly lanterns, which they hung inside the house and under the eaves.

Blow out the candles in the house and you will see twinkling lights of fireflies, creating a unique scene.

Hongye sighed, "It's really beautiful."

Cui Ming quietly pulled Hong Ye out, leaving only Qin Yuan and Gu Jinghui.

Gu Jinghui then stretched out his arms and embraced Qin Yuan in his arms, and asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking about? Why are you suddenly silent?"

Qin Yuan slowly leaned into his arms and chuckled, "I was thinking, this is the first time I've seen such beautiful fireflies since I was a child."

In her previous life, when she followed Lin Ziqi to Zhejiang to serve as an official, many people tried their best to flatter her and use her connections. She also enjoyed a lot of natural beauty, such as firefly lights, which were sent to her house every year, but the scenery tonight was the most beautiful.

Maybe it’s because of the person next to me.

Gu Jinghui smiled silently, his sharp eyebrows and stern face were all filled with a sense of innocence, and his tone was soft as if he was coaxing a child.

"We'll go catch fireflies later, as long as Yuan'er likes it."

"it is good."

In Lord Gu's eyes, nothing is more beautiful than his little wife's smile.

What poetic insects? In his eyes, they were nothing more than glowing insects. But since his lady liked them, these insects became lovable.

The two sat quietly for a while.

Qin Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "My Lord, we have caught so many fireflies and hung many lanterns under the eaves. Why don't we give some to people?"
