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

Chapter 329 Smart People

Dai pointed at him and said angrily, "The old lady was afraid that the Marquis would not be cruel enough, and you were afraid that I could not keep the secret. You were afraid of each other. If you did not tell me, and someone did something bad to me that day and I did not know about it, wouldn't it be bad? In all these years, when have I ever done anything bad to you?"

Gu Jingcheng and his wife always kept a close eye on each other, so he smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you? Besides, the Marquis has arranged for someone to secretly keep an eye on the fake. Since we want to fish, we naturally have to keep an eye on the bait."

Dai went to pack up her clothes and other things for a while, then asked, "Master, are you angry with the Marquis?"

Gu Jingcheng, who was sitting on the stool beside the bed and helping her clean up, was stunned for a moment, then he understood and said, "Why should we be angry? We can have two children and have a relationship with the Marquis' Mansion. We don't have to worry about the children's future. Isn't this a good thing?"

Dai dropped the small clothes in her hand, stared at her, and said, "You know exactly what I want to ask."

"If the two children don't do well, it's my fault, Lord. You can't ask us to move out of that courtyard. We have never raised children before. If they are happy with us, we can find someone to adopt them. The first time is strange, the second time is familiar, why should we be sad? It's just that I like Cheng Ge'er's figure and appearance..."

Dai turned away and continued to tidy up her clothes, lowering her head and saying, "The old lady is also worried that I am not comfortable. I have also said that as long as we can move out and not have to look down on others and feel inferior to others without children, I will be very happy. Besides, the old people often say that raising children is a good thing. Who knows, raising those twins may help us have children."

Hearing this, Gu Jingcheng felt more relieved and said, "If you had told me earlier that you thought so, I wouldn't have to worry about you being sad."

After a pause, he asked again, "Is it true that you said you could recruit your own child?"

"How could it be false? I didn't dare to go near the old lady before, but I didn't expect her to be so considerate and kind. She told me a lot about having children. She said that our fate has not yet arrived, but when it does, we will have children. She also said that the doctor they often use now has superb medical skills, so she asked him to take a look at me when he is free."

Seeing his wife's joyful look, Gu Jingcheng couldn't help but whispered with longing: "Let's move over there. There are more houses and bigger yards. We can make our own decisions. We can also have twins, so you won't be depressed anymore. Who knows, you may have children. Living next to the Marquis' Mansion, we can also enjoy some of the blessings of the Marquis' Mansion."

Good days seem to be beckoning to this couple.

After Qin Yuan finished dealing with the matters reported by the housekeeper and the stewards, he did not return to the main room, but just sat in the yard and thought.

Cui Ming asked, "What are you thinking about, young lady?"

Qin Yuan said, "I was thinking that we were all in charge before, but now it's time to change the director to another place. It's not right for them to crowd into my yard and come in and out so often."

Cui Ming nodded, "That's true. Before, there were only a few housekeepers, so there was no need to mobilize a large force and let people gossip. Later, because of the smallpox, it was difficult to move, so we just stayed here. Now that the Marquis has handed over all the affairs of the mansion to Miss, it's time to move to a more respectable place. In the past, the Sixth Madam was only in charge of the inner courtyard and was still in charge of Songtao Pavilion. Miss, at least you have to move to a larger place closer to the second gate to make it convenient for the housekeepers to move around."

Qin Yuan nodded.

Hongmian said, "Madam, there are some things you forgot."

"Oh?" Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "What's the matter? Tell me about it."

Hongmian said, "The vacancies for Accountant Sun and Steward Zhang have been revealed, and many people are eyeing them. There are more people coming to Wutong Garden, and several stewards are vying to show off their talents."

Qin Yuan glanced at Hongmian approvingly: "Yes, this is a big deal. I haven't forgotten it, but I don't know who to fill the vacancy for the time being."

These two positions became vacant suddenly.

The companions she brought with her had not yet established themselves, and they did not have any confidants in the mansion, and they were also struggling to get to know the housekeepers.

Hong Mian said, "Madame Rong is old, she knows everyone in this mansion well, maybe she can recommend a few people to use."

Qin Yuan thought Hong Mian was going to recommend a few people, but she didn't expect this answer. She smiled and said, "You are right. Have you followed Hong Ye to look at the account books recently?"

Hongmian nodded, "Sister Hongye is busy, and she teaches us when she has time. I have learned a little bit here and there." Qin Yuan asked, "Where do you think it would be best for me to move my position as a director?"

Hongmian said cleverly, "Of course the row of houses near the second gate, next to the corridor, are better. They are large and close to the second gate. No one has used them for a long time. Madam asked Madam Cai to bring people to clean them up and connect the underground pipes. Then they can be used for business purposes and can be used in all seasons."

Qin Yuan couldn't quite remember, so Hong Mian said, "Madam, how about I show you the way and you go over there and take a look?"

Cui Ming said, "Let's go and take a look. If possible, the location is good and convenient, and not many people pass by there."

Qin Yuan stood up and said, "Let's go."

Hongmian led the way attentively, and the group soon arrived at the second gate.

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "We've already reached the second gate. Let's ask someone if the Marquis wants to have lunch together in the upper room and what dishes he wants."

Cui Ming instructed the maid at the second gate to find a servant to go over and ask for the answer.

Several people went to the location Hongmian mentioned and took a look. It was indeed a good place. Although people often walked around the second gate, they rarely came here.

There is a whole row of houses, where Director Qin Yuan talks, where maids and old women stay, and where the housekeepers and stewards can rest while waiting for something to happen.

"Not bad, but it has not been used for a long time, so it needs to be cleaned up."

Qin Yuan was very satisfied.

Hong Mian smiled and said, "Then I will go find Madam Cai and ask her to come over and take a look. We need to get it done as soon as possible. Master Cheng's yard has been separated and repaired, and there are enough people to do it. It will only take two or three days to get it done here."

"Go ahead, I'll leave this to you."

Hongmian smiled and said, "Madam, just rest assured. I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "I want to see what kind of house a smart person like you can build."

Hongmian hurried to consult with Cai's mother. Qin Yuan said to Cuiming, "I think Hongmian is a very capable person. Hongye has a good eye."

Cui Ming laughed, "Hong Ye is still talking. Fortunately, the lady values ​​her the most, otherwise I really can't stand Hong Mian. She has a sharp tongue and a sharp eyes, and can snatch away opportunities as big as a fingernail."

Qin Yuan also laughed.

The servant came over and replied, "A guest has come to the Marquis's place. It's His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. I didn't go in."

"King Qi?"

Qin Yuan said after a while: "You can leave a message to the people around the Marquis, saying that I will go to the upper room for lunch, and the Marquis does not need to go to Wutong Garden."

The servant agreed.

On the way back to Wutong Garden, Qin Yuan kept frowning. Yesterday, the prince came without notice, and today the King of Qi also came. It seemed strange no matter how he looked at it.
