Chapter 305: He Changed His Personality
Qin Yuan looked closely and saw that there seemed to be a flower embroidered on the handkerchief.

Rong Mama stood close by and exclaimed, "Oh, I am not mistaken, Miss Seventh actually embroidered a flower. Madam, please take a look at this beautiful peony flower. It has double petals, and is big and beautiful."

Gu Baozhu glanced at Qin Yuan with pride, who was also a little surprised.

Hongye couldn't help but curl her lips.

It's just a peony. The embroidery looks ordinary. Is it necessary to be like this?
Qin Yuan picked out nice things to say.

"Seventh sister has made rapid progress and put in a lot of effort. It is really cause for celebration."

"Haha," Old Madam Gu laughed heartily, "Yuan'er, our Baozhu is still obedient and well-behaved, isn't she? It's just that she was spoiled too much when she was a child. Look, as long as she puts her mind to it, there is nothing she can't do."

Old Madam Gu couldn't help but hand the handkerchief to Qin Yuan to see.

Gu Baozhu became even more proud.

Hongye also took a closer look and felt even more disdainful. This kind of embroidery must have been taught by Feng Niang, the top embroidery worker in the workshop. Cuiming's random embroidery would be better than this.

But Madam Gu, Aunt Rong and others spoke very highly of it.

Qin Yuan couldn't help but agree with a few words.

Gu Baozhu was someone who could not stand being praised, so she took the handkerchief back and admired it over and over again, and was reluctant to give it to Old Madam Gu.

Qin Yuan saw this and couldn't help but chuckle. She quickly covered her mouth with her round fan and complimented, "Mother, if Seventh Sister keeps embroidering like this, maybe she'll be able to embroider a headband and a small screen for you by the end of the year."

Although these are things that ordinary girls can do before they are ten years old, they are extremely difficult for Gu Baozhu.

Madam Gu couldn't help but glance at Gu Baozhu and said hesitantly, "Is this a bit difficult?"

Gu Baozhu, who was in high spirits, puffed out her chest and boasted: "It's not difficult, mother, just wait. I have thought about it. When my embroidery skills are perfect, my third brother and sixth brother will each get a fan cover, and mother will get a headband... Third sister-in-law and sixth sister-in-law will each get a small sachet."

After saying that, he looked annoyed again: "Master said, if I hadn't learned it too late, I would have been able to win glory for the Marquisate at the Qiqiao Conference. Third brother, he has too high expectations of me. It's high, but it's a little late."

Qin Yuan and Hong Ye looked at Gu Baozhu in shock.

One dares to speak, and the other dares to believe.

The Qiqiao Conference is a place where young ladies from all over the capital compete with each other in embroidery skills. Those who can win the first place in embroidery skills are probably on par with the embroiderers in Jinxiu Pavilion.

But Gu Baozhu looked calm, and it was obvious that she really believed so.

Madam Gu looked at the confident Gu Baozhu with a complicated expression, twitched her lips, and finally encouraged her: "Then you should study hard, mother is waiting to see the headband you embroider. If your third brother gets your fan cover, I don't know how happy he will be, and he will definitely love you very much."

Gu Baozhu responded.

Qin Yuan hadn't recovered yet before responding.

Madam Gu quickly changed the subject and said, "Baozhu, you are good at everything you learn. I am more confident to let you follow Yuan'er to learn how to be a housekeeper. You should first follow her to entertain the female relatives and take care of those girls who are about your age. This time we are hosting the banquet, and you are the host, so you must treat the guests well and don't say anything to make your third brother angry, okay?"

Later, she reminded him, "Your third sister-in-law has just started working here, and she is not familiar with many people. You should try your best to help her."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Seventh Sister to give me some advice."

Meeting the eager gazes of the two, even though Gu Baozhu was unhappy, she was pulled by the nanny beside her and reluctantly said, "Okay then, I'll follow behind Third Sister-in-law. If Third Sister-in-law needs me to do anything, just tell me."

Qin Yuan couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

Only in the Gu family can one develop a personality like Gu Baozhu. Old Madam Gu smiled and said, "Good Zhu'er, if you help your third sister-in-law, your third brother will also appreciate your kindness."

Gu Baozhu seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.

After coming out of the upper room, Qin Yuan said to Gu Baozhu, "Seventh sister, I will have someone send you a list of guests for the banquet later. See if you understand their preferences and taboos so that I can prepare early."

Gu Baozhu asked in surprise: "Why is it so troublesome?"

The nanny beside her tugged at her skirt again, and Gu Baozhu said hurriedly, "Third sister-in-law, I'm not questioning you, I just don't know why you have to go through so much trouble. Sixth sister-in-law never told me this before."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "That's because you were still young before, and the Marquis was in the northern frontier all year round. His family rarely entertained guests, and you were always away as a guest. Only others could find ways to settle you, and you had no time to settle others. This time you are the host, so naturally you have to consider more."

Gu Baozhu hurriedly said, "Third sister-in-law, I will ask someone to go to Wutong Garden to get it. Why bother your people to make a trip? I'm afraid you've been too busy these days, and you don't have many people around you who can help you."

Hongye looked at Gu Baozhu in surprise, wondering why she was so sensible and attentive.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Seventh Sister. I originally wanted to tell you something in detail, but I'm too busy right now. I'll talk to you when I have time."

Gu Baozhu let out a long sigh and said, "No, no, when Third Sister-in-law is free, just ask someone to invite me."

The two of them left the upper room, walked across the covered bridge, and parted ways at a fork in the road.

Hongye asked curiously: "Miss, why did Miss Seven suddenly change her personality? At the beginning she was..."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "You were obviously very resistant at the beginning, weren't you?"

Hongye nodded.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Miss Seven is spoiled and simple-minded. She is the type who needs to be touched as she pleases. Otherwise, she wouldn't be used as a gun by others."

The Gu family members were all nice to her, and Old Madam Gu loved Gu Baozhu so much, so she would be nicer to Gu Baozhu.

Hongye blinked her eyes.

Cui Ming smiled and said, "Miss Seven and Miss don't have any deep hatred. She is just making trouble for others. Now that others have calmed down and Miss always goes along with her, she will naturally not make trouble. Besides, Miss Seven hopes that Miss can persuade the Marquis to do something so that she doesn't have to worry about the Qiqiao Conference."

Hongye: “…Oh…Oh…”

Qin Yuan spat, "I'm going to die. What pillow talk? You've also learned bad things from Hongye."

Cui Ming: “Hehehe.”

Hongye: "..."

When Gu Baozhu came to talk to Qin Yuan again, she happened to meet Lord Gu returning to Wutong Garden and was caught red-handed.

Lord Gu asked, "Baozhu, are you here to talk to your sister-in-law today?"

Gu Baozhu smiled somewhat flatteringly and quickly stood up.

"Third brother, I'm here to help Third Sister-in-law. Mother said Third Sister-in-law isn't very familiar with the female relatives, so she asked me to help entertain them."

Lord Gu stood at the door, his eyelids slightly lowered, his dark eyelashes making it impossible to tell what he was thinking. He just said lightly, "Not bad."

Gu Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief.
