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

Chapter 302: Lord Sends Lanterns
"why?"

Gu Jinghui was puzzled.

He and she caught this together.

I've been busy for half the night and have only been watching it for a short while, so why are you thinking about giving it away?

He couldn't bear to leave this room because of the flickering fluorescent light, the tranquility and beauty.

Qin Yuan said softly, "I thought my sixth brother and seventh sister might like it too, so I should send one to mother as well."

Gu Jinghui muttered reluctantly: “Let them catch it themselves, or let Sixteen take people to catch it.”

Qin Yuan persuaded him, "If Sixth Brother and Mr. Songshan enjoy the lanterns together, maybe it will inspire Mr. Songshan to write poetry. After all, there is a saying that autumn wind releases fireflies in the garden and spring grass in the cockfighting arena."

Gu Jinghui sighed, playing with her fingers, and said, “You worry too much. We are enjoying the feast right now, and you are still thinking about others. I will let Sixteen and the others do it. Baozhu has a wild personality and has not even finished reading the Four Books for Women. She only catches fireflies for a few days. She doesn’t care about poems or anything like that.”

Qin Yuan said angrily, "I just thought that Baozhu had been locked up for so long that she must be feeling a little resentful. As her elder brother, you can send a lantern to her to make her happy. As for my sixth brother, it will give him another opportunity to communicate with Mr. Songshan. Isn't that a good thing?"

"It's a good thing."

Gu Jinghui sighed, hugged Qin Yuan tighter, and said: "You are considerate of everything and have made plans for me. I know you are good, but I am worried that you worry too much."

Qin Yuan felt warm in her heart, and the two of them couldn't help but snuggle closer. Gu Jinghui's lips wandered to her ears, and he whispered softly with warmth, "My dear Yuan'er, when will you also worry about sending away the smallpox lady?"

"……good……"

"When exactly was that?"

Qin Yuan was already confused by the kiss, and said in a trembling voice: "... just... just... tomorrow... how about it?"

"Okay, just remember it."

In the glow of the fireflies in the tent, Gu Jinghui gazed eagerly at the beautiful woman in his arms.

The black hair and snowy skin coated with a layer of fluorescent light are even more attractive.

He licked his lips gently, sniffing the intoxicating fragrance of his little wife's hair, hoping that the smallpox goddess could go away soon.

After Qin Yuan fell into a deep sleep, Lord Gu quietly got out of bed and left the main room, ordering Gu Shiliu to deliver the palace lanterns hanging in the corridor to various places.

Gu Shiliu looked at the twinkling stars in the sky: "..."

Is it time to go to bed now?

Lord Gu stood barefoot under the palace lanterns, his hands behind his back. The dancing glow of the firefly shone on his high nose bridge and long, dense eyelashes, accompanied by the croaking of frogs in the distance and the chirping of insects nearby. The sounds were so soft that no one except Gu Shiliu, who had extraordinary hearing, could hear them. "Go and comfort Baozhu, and tell her that her sister-in-law got some fun toys for fun, and because she was worried that she would be bored, she asked you to send them to her so that she could play with them."

The Marquis was becoming more and more different from before. Gu Shiliu sighed slightly in his heart, and said in a voice as light as a mosquito: "I understand."

Lord Gu said again: "If you want to scare her again, tell her that I asked her how her embroidery practice is going. The Qiqiao Festival is not far away."

Gu Shiliu had a puzzled look on his face, but he agreed again.

Lord Gu ordered again, "Catch some more and send them to Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er to play with." Gu Shiliu said, "Why not tomorrow? It will be hard for the children to fall asleep if they play too late."

"Okay, just remember it," Lord Gu was very satisfied, waved his hand, and said, "You should also send two lanterns to my sixth brother and Mr. Songshan, so that they can enjoy the lanterns and write poems. Madam said that fireflies are poetic insects, with a lot of artistic conception. Scholars like them, and even the emperors in ancient times like them. Some people even built a palace specifically to release these insects. In the eyes of scholars, the firefly garden is equivalent to the cockfighting arena in the eyes of dandies."

Gu Shiliu was surprised and said with a smile, "These insects were cheap things that I played with when I was a kid. When they grew up, only girls liked them. Who knew there were so many things to pay attention to."

Lord Gu said smugly, "You don't know this, it's all my wife's fault..."

Gu Shiliu couldn't help but move his feet outward and said, "Then I'll go right away. If it's too late, I'm afraid everyone will be asleep."

Lord Gu then shut up, stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back and looked up at the firefly lights for a long time, then turned back and hugged Qin Yuan to rest.

Gu Baozhu was about to go to bed when she heard some noise outside. Then the maidservant beside her came in with a smile on her face, holding a palace lantern that flickered on and off. She said with a smile, "Congratulations, Miss. Gu Shiliu sent a firefly lantern."

"Oh?" Gu Baozhu turned over and sat up, her handsome eyebrows slightly raised, and said happily: "Is this what Third Brother asked Sixteen to send? It's amazing that Third Brother still remembered to send me these. I said that Third Brother loves me the most and would never forget his sister after getting married."

The nanny said, "Gu Shiliu said that the Madam had it sent over, and also said..."

"What else can you say?"

Gu Baozhu was a little reluctant to do so.

But I was a little reluctant to give up.

It's a bit boring being locked up these days.

The firefly lights are quite interesting.

The nanny said, "Madam was in a good mood and caught a lot of fireflies today. She made some gauze bags to hold them and also made lanterns to send to Miss to cheer her up. The Marquis also asked how Miss was doing with her embroidery, as the Qiqiao Festival is coming soon."

Gu Baozhu: "..."

She clenched her fists in annoyance and couldn't help but said angrily: "Third brother is really too much..."

The nanny sighed, "It's a good thing that Madam has always been thinking about Miss. I heard that the Marquis loves Madam very much and relies on her very much. He has entrusted all the affairs of the mansion to Madam. Miss will get married sooner or later, and her family will always be a woman's support. If Miss and Madam fall out, and she suffers in her husband's family in the future, what will she do?"

Gu Baozhu was used to being spoiled. Hearing this, she said angrily, "She is only a few years older than me, and she can manage the whole house? It's just that Sixth Sister-in-law is not in good health now, so I just let her take over temporarily. Even if she relies on Third Brother's power, I don't know how long she can stay in power?"

The nanny quickly covered her mouth and said, "Be careful with what you say. It has been spread outside for a long time. The Sixth Madam is weak and now ignores everything. The Madam is the housekeeper, and everyone is very submissive. Miss, you don't know that even the twins that the Marquis holds in his heart are going to be driven out of the mansion. If you get married and your husband's family treats you like this, I won't worry about you anymore."

Gu Baozhu shyly changed the subject and asked, "Why are Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er moving out of the house? Are you willing, Third Brother?"

Mammy nodded solemnly.

Gu Baozhu curled her lips and snorted coldly, saying, "I knew that woman was not simple. Look how long she has been married into the mansion, and she has caused so much trouble. How can the twins be her opponents? My third brother cared so much about Zhao and her son at the beginning that I thought he wanted to take them as concubines."

The nanny didn't say anything, but waved the palace lantern in her hand and asked, "Is this placed in the room?"

Gu Baozhu's eyes were cold, and she said, "Since she took the initiative to show her affection, let's leave her inside. Mammy, go out and tell Gu Shiliu later that I like her very much and thank you Third Sister-in-law for thinking about me. I'll talk to Third Sister-in-law after I'm out of confinement."
