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

Chapter 306 Awakening from this plan
Qin Yuan saw this, smiled and told Mo Zhu to pour tea for the Marquis, and asked Marquis Gu if he wanted to have dinner together later.

After some sweet words, Lord Gu's arrogant and stern look gradually softened.

Gu Baozhu secretly curled her lips in her heart, not daring to show it on her face.

As soon as Lord Gu sat down, he turned his head to look at Gu Baozhu. Before he could speak, Gu Baozhu stood up and said, "Third brother, third sister-in-law, I have something to do to find mother, so I won't stay any longer. If you have anything to ask, send someone to call me."

Qin Yuan couldn't help but laugh a little, and said, "Okay, thank you for your help, sister."

He personally escorted the person to the corridor and then turned back.

Lord Gu asked in confusion: "What's going on? I'm not a tiger. Why does she hide when she sees me?"

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Tiger won't force her to take the embroidery needle, so of course she will hide from you."

Lord Gu just remembered and sneered, saying, "Evil people must be punished by evil people. After being punished by me, she really changed her personality. Sixth brother and mother spoiled her too much at home."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Seventh sister said that she was originally a great embroidery talent. It's too late for you to have high hopes for her. Otherwise, she would have won glory for the Marquisate at the Qiqiao Fair. Wait until the end of the year, and wait for Seventh sister to give you a fan cover embroidered by herself. I'm just curious, how are you going to settle her after the Qiqiao Fair?"

"Let's see how she can hold out for a few days and how she performs," ​​Lord Gu said, then thought for a moment, squinted at Qin Yuan and said with a smile, "I have high hopes for you. When will the smallpox lady be sent away? I, the new Censor, am about to be put on the shelf..."

"Supervisory censor?"

Qin Yuan didn't care about being shy and looked at Lord Gu in shock and anger.

The Censor is just a low-ranking official. What is the Emperor doing?!

Lord Gu smiled and said, "It was just a joke among the crowd. I brought it up when I was talking to you just now. Don't worry, the emperor has entrusted me with an important task, but he has not appointed me to an official position. In other words, I am only responsible for this inspection. This is just a temporary measure."

Qin Yuan finally felt relieved and said angrily, "You just keep talking nonsense. You scared me and made me think that the emperor had done something again."

The Emperor wrestled with the three dukes and nine ministers for the Crown Prince and Empress Lin, and chose to put Marquis Gu on the fire. A god of war became a knife that could be discarded at any time.

Qin Yuan felt deeply unfair for her own master.

Originally, Marquis Gu had already aroused the fear of the Crown Prince and Prince of Jin, and they reported this secretly to the Emperor. The Emperor should have known this well, but he still put Marquis Gu in this position.

Lord Gu curled his lips slightly, reached out and pulled Qin Yuan's hand, and said, "I know you are unhappy, but I am very happy."

Qin Yuan rolled her eyes at Lord Gu.

Her face turned red involuntarily.

"Husband and wife are one body. I, of course, will think about you."

The corners of Lord Gu's lips curled higher.

Qin Yuan asked again: "Did the emperor agree to your request?"

Lord Gu said, "Not yet, the emperor is still considering it."

The so-called consideration was simply because what he proposed did not satisfy the emperor.

Qin Yuan said: "My Lord, Yuan'er has an idea, but I don't know whether I should tell it or not."

Lord Gu immediately said, "You and I are husband and wife, just say it straight."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "My Lord, you have been in the northern frontier for ten years and have driven out the Yelu clan. This is an unprecedented feat and you are worthy of your ancestors and this title, right?"

Lord Gu blushed, gritted his teeth, curled his fingers in his sleeves, and asked, "Yuan'er, do you think so?"

Qin Yuan widened her eyes and nodded seriously, "Of course." Lord Gu didn't even look at her and said, "Indeed, you are right."

Qin Yuan said slowly: "If the military officers are not afraid of death and the civil officials do not love money, there will be no trouble in the court. But it is not reasonable to let the military officers be the masters of the civil officials. If there is another war in the court, the Marquis will serve the country, but now the world is peaceful. It is enough for us to rest on our merits, not to mention that the title is hereditary... Marquis, don't you think so?"

Lord Gu stared at his young wife, unable to speak for a long time.

There are many hidden implications in these words.

In fact, Lord Gu has been a little unhappy these days.

What could a military general like him do in the imperial examination of the civil officials? Moreover, the emperor expanded the scope of the imperial examination to the first rank and below, which meant that the emperor wanted to use him to deal with the three dukes and nine ministers.

The civil officials originally wanted to suppress the military general, but because he had just returned from a campaign and held military power, they had not yet taken the initiative.

This seemingly glorious appointment is actually extremely dangerous.

"Yuan'er...you...this..."

Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are engraved in the Gu family's ancestral precepts, like a shackle that locks the hearts of generations of Gu family members.

No matter how dissatisfied Gu Jinghui was, he couldn't express it out loud.

Those who had visited him recently either hinted at him to take the opportunity to win over forces like the King of Qi did, or wanted to win him over or join him.

There is really no peace for a moment.

Even Qin Jijiu's house was crowded with people.

His narrow and sharp eyes met Qin Yuan's phoenix eyes. Those eyes were as cold and bright as cold stars, which instantly cooled down the turbulent thoughts in Lord Gu's heart.

Then, Lord Gu heard her gentle voice exploding like thunder in his ears, shocking him so much that he didn't know how to answer.

"My Lord, have you listened to Mr. Songshan's storytelling recently? I think Mr. Songshan can also tell a wonderful story about Sima Yi pretending to be sick."

Lord Gu's ears moved, "..."

He always knew that his wife was a smart, capable, shrewd, resourceful and talented woman, but he always felt that she was a delicate, frail woman who needed pity and love.

Ever since Qin Jijiu asked for advice over a cup of wine that day, his wife seemed to have let go of her reservations and was now openly extending her little claws towards his territory.

It surprised him.

But it seems reasonable.

Didn’t my father-in-law say that she is good at making plans and making decisions?

Since it can be broken off once, there will naturally be a second time. In fact, he is not very resistant to it. He even likes the way his young wife plans for him.

Lord Gu took a deep breath and sighed, "Then I'll go talk to him."

Seeing that he agreed, Qin Yuan's eyebrows were slightly curved, and her eyes seemed to be full of infinite affection. Lord Gu couldn't help but be stunned for a while. When he came to his senses, he found that Qin Yuan had already asked the maids to prepare the food.

Lord Gu was pulled by Qin Yuan to sit at the table. He drank two bowls of soup before he came to his senses. He looked like a tyrant who had fallen into a beauty trap.

"Among the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is indeed the best strategy. Who can resist the beauty trap? Those who can resist it must not be the one they like. If you can't afford to provoke, you can afford to avoid it..."

Gu Jinghui suddenly realized.

"Everyone says that heroes can't resist beauties, but I just don't believe it. I always feel that I am a hero, but no beauty can hold me back. It turns out that these are just hearsay. I didn't expect it..."
