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

Chapter 342 What Mooncakes Do You Want?

Qin Yuan's words made Brother Qi nod his head repeatedly, and he said, "Don't worry, Madam. I've remembered everything. I will keep a close eye on my mother and not let her do any needlework, let alone embroidery. Don't be afraid of being laughed at by Madam. I learned how to sew and wash when I was very young. Although I'm not good at it, it's acceptable."

Qin Yuan was surprised and asked, "Can you also sew and wash?"

Brother Qi said, "My mother's eyesight has been bad for a long time. It's not good to trouble the aunt next door all the time, so I followed her and learned from her."

Qin Yuan nodded with emotion: "It can be seen that men can also do needlework."

Brother Qi lowered his head in shame.

The blind old lady said, "Madam has a lot of things to do, and we shouldn't have come to cause trouble, but..."

Qin Yuan asked: "If you have any difficulties, just tell me, I will do everything I can."

The blind old woman said, "The child is old and has almost recovered. It is not good for the two of us to stay in the mansion to recover. Now that he can move freely and is very good at taking care of people, why don't we go out of the mansion and go back to our own yard to recover, and wait until he is completely well before taking up duty."

Qin Yuan glanced at Hong Ye and said, "Is it just because of this? But did someone say something? I was thinking of moving you to another yard before, but I haven't had the chance yet. If Auntie hears some gossip because of this, it will be my fault."

The blind old lady waved her hands and said, "No, I'm just worried that I'll break the rules of the mansion."

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Doctor Li or Xiaodong when they come. You don't have to worry too much about it. Your health is the most important thing. Just relax and live in the mansion."

Brother Qi and his mother expressed their gratitude for a while before leaving.

Hongye followed.

Half a cup of tea later, Hongye came back and said, "Brother Qi ran into Miss Seven several times when he went out, and also ran into Sixth Master's concubine several times. I heard those maids vaguely mention these things before."

Qin Yuan nodded.

"I remember now. They know how to behave and follow the rules."

The maid outside reported again: "Madam, Xiaodong from Renhe Hall is here to pay his respects."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "I was just thinking about asking about the Sixth Madam. Let him in."

Xiaodong ran in with sweat all over his head.

Qin Yuan asked: "Why are you sweating all over? Why don't you wipe it off?"

Cuiming handed over a handkerchief, Xiaodong took it and wiped it, saying, "I just went to the martial arts training ground to ride a horse for a while, and I happened to see Miss Seven riding a horse as well, so I asked her for some advice."

"Aren't you going to accompany Master Liu to practice boxing and learn painting?"

Xiaodong said, "Sixth Master is in Sixth Madam's courtyard. I don't know how long he will stay there, so he told me to play by myself. I went to see Brother Qi and his mother first, then went to ride horses. I rode horses to see them again, but they haven't left yet."

Qin Yuan asked: "Just now, Brother Qi and his mother came and said they wanted to move out. Do you think it's okay?"

Xiaodong said, "Brother Qi's injuries have all healed, but he still needs to take care of himself. He said he can cook and clean the house, so he should be fine. His mother is just blind, but she is very efficient. She took care of herself before she came to the mansion. It's just that the food is not as good as in the mansion, so just tell them to eat more good food."

Qin Yuan nodded, "Then I will allow them to move out, but if you want to see a doctor in the future, you will have to go to their place, which is not as convenient as here."

Xiaodong said: "It's okay."

After a pause, he continued, "I heard from Brother Qi's mother that the old lady wants Master to treat Brother Cheng's stepmother. The business is getting better and better."

Qin Yuan was confused.

"What kind of diagnosis do you want to give to Sister Cheng?"

Xiaodong smiled and picked up a grape from the table and put it into his mouth, saying, "What else could it be? It's naturally infertility. He wants to have a son." Qin Yuan was surprised and said, "I don't even know about this. How did Brother Qi's mother know?"

Xiaodong said, "Don't say you don't know. My master and I didn't know either. When we lived in the same courtyard before, Brother Qi's mother was sitting in the courtyard, but no one noticed her. She had very good hearing, so nothing could be hidden from her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have made such a great contribution."

Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "This skill is really amazing."

Xiaodong said: "That's right, even Sixteenth Brother was amazed and said he had never seen such a skill before."

Qin Yuan seemed to be thinking about something.

Xiaodong ate some fruits, drank some sour plum juice, wiped his mouth, drank some tea, and held a piece of dessert in his hand. He was busy and happy.

Qin Yuan took the opportunity to ask him: "When did you leave yesterday?"

"We left after listening to the opera," Xiaodong said, "Master likes to watch operas, and he even sang along with them. I like watching Wuqiao acrobatics, and the two people walking on tightrope in the air were really thrilling, and I was so scared several times that my heart was lifted."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "That's called a rope collision. There are more thrilling and exciting ones than this one, but you have to go to Wa Zi to watch it. If there's a chance, ask your master to take you there. Their troupes have their own venues and stages in Wa Zi, which are more complete than the theater in the Marquis's mansion, and they can perform more freely."

Xiaodong was surprised and asked, "Is it more thrilling than that?"

Qin Yuan nodded.

"Of course. I've seen people standing on ropes with poles on their heads, and people standing on top of the poles. The most powerful ones can stand on several levels, and everyone is spinning a plate in their hands, and the one at the bottom is still spinning and walking."

Xiaodong was amazed and said with a longing look: "Then we must think of a way. Master has made a lot of money these days. He should be willing to take me to the tile factory."

Qin Yuan couldn't help laughing.

Xiaodong remembered the important matter and said, "Sister, Master said that Sixth Madam is afraid... Let you make preparations early. It is better to ask the director of the Imperial Hospital to continue the treatment. Don't ask us in the future. Master said he can't treat her."

"Yeah," Qin Yuan was not surprised.

Xiao Dong sighed like a little adult, "He was originally a good person. If he had listened to Master and taken good care of himself, he could have lived another 10 to 20 years. But now... Master is right. Doctors can only cure illnesses but not lives. It's a pity that Kang Ge'er and Fu Ge'er lost their mother at such a young age."

Qin Yuan frowned and changed the subject.

"Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and we need to prepare the gifts for the festival. What kind of mooncakes do you like?"

Xiaodong immediately put aside his adult look and revealed his greedy nature. He smacked his lips and said, "My master and I are the only two of us. We used to go to Hengjie Avenue to watch the lanterns and guess riddles, but my master was very stupid and couldn't guess them. We seldom eat mooncakes, and there aren't many types. We just buy them from the pastry shop. How many mooncakes does the Marquis' Mansion make?"

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "There are so many relatives and friends in the Marquis' Mansion, so naturally we have to make some mooncakes to give away. I am in charge of the household affairs now, so is it difficult for me to make some for you in the styles and flavors you like?"

Xiao Dong said: "Beijing-style, Cantonese-style, and Suzhou-style mooncakes are all delicious. I like the sweet ones, the ones with salted egg yolks, and the ones with meat. What I want to eat most is the big and round ones that the whole family can eat together."

A wave of sadness welled up in Qin Yuan's heart.

My friends, because I had something to do recently and I was a bit stuck, the update is not very good. Seeing your questions and complaints, Qi Jian doesn't dare to speak out, so...

O(∩_∩)O
