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

Chapter 303 Your Third Sister-in-law Probably Doesn't Respond and

the next day.

Gu Shiliu remembered Lord Gu's instructions and sent several finished firefly lanterns to the upper room, saying that the Lord Gu and his wife had caught them yesterday and they were specially presented to the old lady and the children to play with.

Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er cheered and gathered around. Although it was daytime and they couldn't see clearly, they were already looking forward to the arrival of night.

"Godfather is so nice, he always thinks of us," Cheng Ge'er held the lamp, grinning but tears fell.

Sister Yu blinked and asked, "Brother, if we hang this lamp in the room, we can see it when we go to bed at night, so we don't need to turn on the lamp, right?"

Cheng Ge'er said, "Yes."

Sister Yu said quietly, "We never saw these before when we were in Saibei. I didn't expect there would be so many fun things in the capital."

"Yeah," Cheng Ge'er sighed softly, turned his head to glance at his sister, wanting to say something but stopping himself. His expression and behavior became more and more like an adult.

Madam Gu happily pulled Gu Shiliu aside and asked again and again. The more she asked, the more satisfied she became. She turned around and said to Aunt Rong, "They are really a perfect match. Hui Ge'er didn't like these things before and always felt that they were boring. Well, apart from anything else, this kind of thought is truly rare."

"That's right," Rong Mama said jokingly, "Old Madam, you can rest assured. The Marquis and his wife are in perfect harmony, and they will surely have many children and grandchildren in the future."

Madam Gu smiled and said, "Did you hear just now? Sixteen said that the Marquis wanted to send it here last night, but he thought it was too late and he didn't want to disturb us."

Grandma Rong nodded.

Old Madam Gu looked relieved.

"Now the world is peaceful, Hui Ge'er has also made great contributions, won honor for our ancestors, and is becoming more and more popular. This is great, all thanks to good Yuan'er."

Rong Madam agreed, "The Marquis has indeed changed a lot since he got married. A man is two different people when he is married and when he is not. For example, my son-in-law used to be stern and cold every day. His surname is not in vain. Now he is very good at dealing with people and knows how to deal with people. It shows that the Marquis has made the right choice for marriage."

Madam Gu became happier and happier as she spoke, and she ordered people to dig out the good things that had been saved from previous years and send them to Qin Yuan.

Mr. Gu Liu and Mr. Songshan got the lights last night. In addition, Mr. Gu Shiliu also kindly told them the place with the most fireflies in the mansion, saying that when the two of them felt like writing poetry, they could go and enjoy the scenery.

"The ancients often said that fireflies grow in decaying grass, and places with abundant water and dense vegetation are indeed the places with the most fireflies." Mr. Songshan said, "I didn't expect that there is such a good place in the Marquis' Mansion. Thank you, Lord Marquis, for being thoughtful and thinking of these things."

Gu Shiliu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sir, you also know that our Marquis is a martial artist. This is what Madam said. I also heard from the Marquis that there is a firefly garden in Yangzhou where the emperor of the past used to release fireflies."

"Yes," Mr. Songshan was a little surprised, looked at Gu Shiliu, and said, "It's Emperor Yang of Sui."

Gu Shiliu said he had never heard of this emperor, and then said, "The Marquis said that fireflies are poetic insects, and you literati like them the most. Oh, by the way, the Marquis also said that places like the Firefly Garden are as good places for scholars as the cockfighting arena is for dandy boys. I am a rough man and don't understand those things. Sir, you have a lot of stories in your belly. Can you tell me when you have time?"

Mr. Songshan laughed and said, "That's a long story. Let's wait until tomorrow. Don't you still want to give the lantern to Master Liu?"

Gu Shiliu smiled and nodded, saying, "Then it's a deal. I've benefited a lot from listening to Mr. Songshan's stories. Mr. Liu also loves to write poetry. If Mr. Songshan wants to go to appreciate insects, he can go with Mr. Liu. There is also a good place in the mansion to listen to the chirping of insects. The Marquis and his wife have also been there to listen to it."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Songshan nodded and said, "The Marquis loves his wife so much that he would do such a refined thing. No wonder the Marquis invited me to tell stories in his mansion. As for watching fireflies and listening to insects, we will talk about it later." Gu Shiliu smiled and said, "Sir, you are really amazing. You guessed it right at once."

Mr. Songshan thought that this was not difficult. Anyone with eyes could probably figure it out after staying in the mansion for a quarter of an hour.

Gu Jinghui's words and actions were all those of a warrior. He was admiring fireflies and listening to the chirping of insects. It seemed that he was doing this to please the beauty.

No wonder.

The Marquis's wife is as beautiful as a fairy, has extraordinary literary talent and insight, and is capable and thoughtful in handling matters. It is impossible for the Marquis not to hold her in his heart, after all, who hasn't been through childhood?

It’s just that Lord Gu was moved by love many years later than others.

Mr. Songshan thought for a moment and said, "I have heard that the Marquis respects Qin Jijiu."

After seeing Gu Shiliu off, Mr. Songshan blew out the lights and looked at the flickering fluorescent lights quietly.

After a while, a low sigh was heard in the room: "Perhaps I can stay in this mansion for a while longer."

It was a completely different scene when Master Gu Liu got the firefly lamp. Gu Shiliu made it very clear that Qin Yuan intended to bring him close to Mr. Songshan.

Gu Liuye sighed, "Third sister-in-law is very thoughtful and careful. Mr. Songshan was able to win over Brother Siyuan, so he must be a talented man. How can I let down Third sister-in-law's kindness? Go back and tell Third Brother, I know what's going on."

Gu Shiliu said, "I have noticed that Mr. Songshan is still quite interested. Why don't you invite him to drink and watch fireflies, and write a few poems? This kind of person will develop feelings for you if you visit him more often. He is staying in the mansion for a while now, so it's a good opportunity for you to visit him more often."

Mr. Gu Liu nodded.

At night, I made an appointment with Mr. Matsuyama to go watch fireflies together.

Mr. Songshan had already read Mr. Gu Liuye's poetry collection and naturally knew his level. He didn't want to go, but he didn't want to be polite. If he went, he would find it boring.

I said, "Madam has returned the poems and notes I wrote during my travels over the years, along with some of my thoughts. I am now thinking about them."

Gu Liuye looked curious and asked, "Mr. Songshan, can I take a look?"

Mr. Songshan handed the poem over, and Mr. Gu Liu quickly took it with both hands, gently opened it, and read it carefully.

Seeing this, Mr. Songshan had a much higher opinion of Mr. Gu Liu. He thought to himself that although this man was not talented, his behavior was not bad. He was able to treat him, a storyteller, with courtesy, so he might be able to interact with him.

After a long while, Master Gu Liu closed the poem and sighed, "Sir, you write poems well, and my third sister-in-law is also good at discussing poems."

Mr. Songshan said calmly, "Ye Mengde of the Song Dynasty was homesick when he was enjoying the cool air in the Phoenix Pavilion. He once said: Sometimes I see sparse stars falling on the painted eaves, and a few small fireflies. The scenery in his poems is common, but his ingenuity is rare. It can be seen that with ingenuity, even ordinary scenery can be written into good sentences. The firefly viewing place in the Marquis's mansion must be far better than this scene. It would be too boring for only the two of us to watch it. If Sixth Master is willing, why not invite more people to enjoy it together and write poems and discuss poems together? It would also be a refined thing."

Speaking of this, Gu Liuye immediately opened his eyes wide, looked at Mr. Songshan, and asked, "Sir, what do you think of me starting a poetry club in my mansion?"

Mr. Songshan thought for a moment and said, "If we start a poetry club in the mansion, we will have to invite others to come to the mansion. Your third sister-in-law probably won't come out to join us."
