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

Chapter 347 This taste is indescribable
Autumn Fragrance?
Qin Yuan looked at Lord Gu, a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Lord, the place you chose is excellent."

Gu Jinghui also smiled, reached out his hand and gently pulled her up, saying: "You will feel good when we get there."

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Qin Yuan agreed to his request.

Mo Zhu and others wanted to follow him, but he stopped them and said, "No need to follow." He smiled at Qin Yuan and said, "I'm here, why do you need them to follow me? It's really a bummer."

The maids paused and looked at Qin Yuan, who smiled and said, "Now that we have eaten and drunk enough, it is okay if no one follows us."

Gu Jinghui smiled and walked away hand in hand with her.

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged. When we get there, we can have fun on our own. We don't need them."

Qin Yuan nodded: "As you wish."

It was just a matter of watching fireflies on the boat for a while and then coming back. Qiuxiang Pavilion was located in a remote area. I had taken a quick look at it before. It was a water pavilion built in imitation of Jiangnan gardens, with corridors all around. The corridors on the east and west sides led to small pavilions on the water. It was a good place to view the scenery.

The two of them strolled to the edge of the pond and stepped onto the corridor. Several colorful lights were lit in the night, and willow branches swayed in the breeze. The water surface surrounded by the lotus leaves was rippling with colorful waves, accompanied by the croaking of frogs and chirping of insects, and it was quite lively.

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "The night view here is also very beautiful."

Lord Gu's eyebrows softened, and he whistled softly. A servant came running to report: "Lord, Madam, the pavilion has prepared wine and drinks."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "My husband has such a refined taste."

Lord Gu also laughed: "Yuan'er wants to write a poem, it would be too boring for me to just watch her. I heard that brewing tea is the most elegant, so I asked them to prepare the tea stove and tea utensils."

Qin Yuan lowered her brows and smiled, feeling more and more surprised. She let Lord Gu lead her through the circular corridor and walked towards the small pavilion on the east side. Two servants had already placed a tea stove outside the fence of the pavilion and were fanning themselves to boil water.

Qin Yuan asked, "What kind of tea is this?"

Lord Gu smiled and said, "Of course it's the Baihao Silver Needle."

Qin Yuan glanced at Lord Gu and nodded, "It's appropriate to drink this in the evening."

Lord Gu smiled and said, "Although I am a little rough now, I still know these things."

Qin Yuan also smiled: "I haven't said anything yet."

Lord Gu sighed, "You really didn't say anything, but it's better than saying everything. I usually stay with those soldiers. If I'm too particular, how can I get along with them? The commander eats and drinks every day, and the lieutenant generals and lieutenants will have to drink and eat meat every day? In this way, it will be difficult for the upper and lower levels to work together. Everyone just wants to be comfortable and have fun. How can we defend the northern frontier? Only by eating and living together, sharing happiness and difficulties, can we be united. I am the third child in the family. I had an older brother to take care of me. When I grew up a little, I went to the palace to be a companion. I grew up in a pile of splendor and enjoyed all kinds of wealth."

Qin Yuan lowered her eyes. If nothing had happened to the Gu family, Lord Gu would have stayed in the capital as a concubine, married and had children early, and he would have lost his fate with her. But who could have expected that there would be so many unpredictable things in the world.

In the past, when the couple talked, they mostly talked about things in the mansion, and rarely mentioned these things. It was obvious that Lord Gu must have a lot to say tonight.

Qin Yuan said, "It has always been difficult to lead troops. Sharing joys and sorrows and working together is the right thing to do. Although my husband has practiced martial arts since he was young, I think he must have suffered a lot in the military camp."

The two entered the pavilion and saw that an embroidered quilt had already been laid out on the stone bench, and the stone table was also filled with tea sets, fruit plates, snacks and other items.

Qin Yuan asked with a smile: "Didn't you ask me to watch fireflies on the boat? You want to drink tea here? Didn't the servant just say that the wine was ready? Is it possible that I drink tea and you drink wine? Why don't you prepare some side dishes? Does my husband only drink plain wine?"

Lord Gu said, "It's just some fruit wine, not very intoxicating, and girls can drink it. We'll go to the boat to check when there are more insects."

Qin Yuan smiled gently.

Inside the pavilion in the water, the view was wide, with overlapping shadows in the distance, and the misty and gorgeous lights and the water surface in the near distance. The breeze blew by, making people forget their worries suddenly. A few fireflies flashed, and Qin Yuan sat quietly. In a trance, she had the half poem for her good friend Miss Dong. Gu Jinghui did not disturb her, but only fumbled with the jade belt around his waist, his sharp eyes narrowed slightly.

The servants boiled the water and came in to ask, "The water is ready. Master, do you want to make tea or order some?"

Qin Yuan looked at Lord Gu in surprise.

I usually make tea by boiling it, but why do you ask me tonight whether it should be brewed or ordered?

Lord Gu nodded and said, "I will do it myself. You guys go and come back when I call you."

The servants then retreated without any hesitation.

Qin Yuan asked: "My Lord, do you want to drink the tea I made?"

Lord Gu said, "I always drank it in the past, today you can taste mine."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay."

She became more and more curious about what Lord Gu was up to.

Lord Gu asked: "Do you want to cook or order?"

Qin Yuan asked: "How do you want to cook it?"

Lord Gu said, "If we usually make tea, it's just the ones from the Tang and Song dynasties. You live in the capital and have never tasted tea from other places. Why don't I make it for you and give you a taste of something new."

Qin Yuan was somewhat curious, so she nodded and asked, "Does my husband always make tea in Saibei?"

Lord Gu said, "In winter, people have nowhere to go, so they gather around the stove to make tea. The locals eat fishy food, so there is a saying that they drink tea three times a day and have one meal a day. The Mongolians drink salty milk tea every day, and the Qiang people like to drink a kind of butter tea made with milk, eggs, nuts, etc., which has a salty and fragrant aroma. In winter, when there is nothing to do, everyone gathers around a pot to make tea until it has no taste. It is different from the capital, and it has some wild fun."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Then I am lucky. I can drink tea from the northern frontier without leaving the capital."

In her previous life, she followed Lin Ziqi to the south and other places. She was from the south and her eating and drinking habits followed the southern customs. When she heard what Lord Gu said, she became curious.

Under the light and in the breeze, Lord Gu's sharp eyebrows and eyes were as handsome as a painting, and there was a rhythm in his every move. Qin Yuan watched him intently, and from time to time, the two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

It has been said since ancient times that beauty can be seen under the moon and lamp.

Amidst the mist, bright lights and curling incense, Lord Gu's former murderous aura was gone, and there was a sense of tranquility and ease in the corners of his eyes and brows.

Qin Yuan suppressed her doubts and admired the beauty. After all, Lord Gu had been planning for a long time and he must have something to say.

There will be a total of this light and candlelight in this evening.

Qin Yuan drank a cup of milk tea prepared by Lord Gu, which was indeed far from the southerners' tea drinking habits. It contained sesame seeds, walnuts, tangerine cakes, persimmon cakes, fresh milk, red dates, salt, eggs, etc.

The taste is hard to describe.

Lord Gu drank happily and asked her, "Are you used to drinking?"

Qin Yuan put down the teacup and said, "It's OK."

Gu Jinghui smiled and said, "You drank my tea, so you need to help me solve my doubts."
