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

Chapter 348 It's not good if the emperor knows
Can you help me solve my doubts?

Qin Yuan couldn't help laughing at this and said, "I'm going to ask my mother to judge the matter. But after drinking two sips of your salty tea, you asked me to do something, and it's such a big thing as solving a puzzle. It's obvious that the Marquis is bullying me by relying on his age."

After saying that, Gu Jinghui grabbed her hands and said, "Don't you always say that husband and wife are one? Even for the sake of husband and wife being one, you shouldn't say that."

Qin Yuan couldn't move, so Gu Jinghui emphasized his tone again and smiled playfully: "Could it be that because you and I haven't become a real couple yet, we are so distant?"

Qin Yuan's face flushed red, and she glanced at him and spat, "You're saying this kind of thing outside, and the servants are hearing it. How can you be so arrogant?"

Gu Jinghui stroked her slender wrist carefully and chuckled, "They are all on the shore, far away from us, how can they hear anything?"

What this means is that at this moment, there are only the two of them in this water pavilion.

Qin Yuan's heart moved, and she asked, "My husband chose this place for a secret discussion, what do you want to ask?"

Gu Jinghui coughed a few times, let go of her hand, and said uncomfortably: "I just feel that it is inconvenient for us to have someone here, so I just want to talk about my innermost thoughts. It's a confidential discussion there."

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "It turns out that I was overthinking. I just don't know what my husband wants to say."

Gu Jinghui stammered, “It’s not that I’m overthinking it. The fewer people who know about this, the better.”

Qin Yuan: “…”

Gu Jinghui then repeated what Mr. Songshan said, and then said, "Madam, what do you think Mr. Songshan meant by this?"

Qin Yuan stood up and bowed to Gu Jinghui, saying with a smile, "Congratulations, my Lord."

Gu Jinghui was stunned at first, then he smiled and pulled her into his arms and sat down, saying, "You are naughty again, why should I be happy?"

Qin Yuan said seriously, "I'm not being naughty. This is really a great joy. Mr. Songshan's words have already indicated his intention to live in the mansion for a long time. He calls himself a guest, but we can't take it seriously. His talent is far superior to my father's. It's a great joy for the Marquis to get his help, isn't it?"

Gu Jinghui was stunned for a moment, then slowly said: “It’s just…”

"Just what?"

Qin Yuan was a little confused.

In his previous life, Mr. Songshan was unwilling to leave the mountain and join the court, but now he stays in the Marquis' Mansion. This is a rare opportunity for the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion.

Gu Jinghui said, “I just think… well… since he is so talented, it would be good for him to stay in the mansion to teach my sixth brother and nephews… I have already finished the war, so there is no use for him. I just want to ask him for some basic knowledge…”

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "My Lord, do you think that he is not very useful even in a war? You have your own rules in mind."

Gu Jinghui laughed a few times and said, “…The matter of fighting is somewhat different from what is written in books. I had scholars under my command before. They were all knowledgeable, but they were really bad at fighting. No wonder they say that it takes ten years for a scholar to succeed in a rebellion.”

Besides, Mr. Songshan also said something like "everyone is benefiting from this opportunity". Gu Jinghui felt that Mr. Songshan lacked luck. If they had known each other for a few years earlier, he could have recorded his military merit. Now that the war was over, Mr. Songshan could only live in his house for a long time. What great benefits could he get?

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Mr. Songshan is a great scholar. If you can learn a little bit of his ability, it will be easier for you to deal with the emperor in the future. How many people want to ask him to come to their home but can't, but you think you don't need him. It is because there is no war that Mr. Songshan's ability is revealed."

"Oh?"

Gu Jinghui looked at Qin Yuan. Qin Yuan leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Although my father has a lot of knowledge, he lacks some strategy. Mr. Songshan is not only more knowledgeable than my father, but also more strategically. Now the crown prince is sick and weak, the princes have different thoughts, and the court officials also have their own plans. It's difficult for your husband to be caught in the middle. If you have any questions, talk to Mr. Songshan more, even if it's just to relax and relieve your boredom, what's wrong with that?"

Gu Jinghui was stunned for a moment, and said: "I just want to discuss it with you."

Hearing this, Qin Yuan was also startled, and said with a smile: "My husband, do you regard me as your trusted aide?"

Gu Jinghui said: “Madam is intelligent and talented. It is a waste of talent for her to be my aide. It is my great honor to marry you.”

Qin Yuan said with emotion: "My husband doesn't look down on me just because I'm young and a woman. He listens to me. I am so lucky."

The two of them praised each other.

Qin Yuancai said, "Partial listening leads to ignorance, while listening to both sides leads to enlightenment. It is a good thing for my husband to have more people to consult with when he encounters problems. Isn't it just like three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang?"

Gu Jinghui laughed and said, “The three of us…haha…you’re right.”

Qin Yuan said, "I will arrange for someone to tidy up the yard tomorrow. I'm afraid that Sixth Master, my nephews, and my cousins ​​will have to bother Mr. Songshan in the future. I think it would be better if the kitchen asked Mr. Songshan to place an order every day, and our small kitchen would send some food over from time to time. Mr. Songshan would have to be surrounded by some smart maids and servants to figure out his preferences. I don't know if his family is willing to move in, and we also need to make a book and the monthly allowance."

Seeing Qin Yuan talking happily with her fingers on her fingers, Gu Jinghui smiled and said, “It’s up to you. I think with your arrangement, Mr. Songshan will definitely live comfortably. He might be willing to stay in the mansion for the rest of his life. If he has a family, just help him move in and live with him. In the future, not only will my sixth brother and nephews be able to get his guidance, but our children will also have this good fortune.”

He taught the Gu family the ancestral martial arts, and his father-in-law and Mr. Songshan taught him knowledge.

All his children, both boys and girls, were talented in both civil and military affairs, handsome in appearance, and outstanding among men.

The more Gu Jinghui spoke, the more he yearned for it.

Qin Yuan couldn't help but said angrily: "People are talking about this nicely, but you are going so far."

Gu Jinghui quickly kissed her and said, “Okay, okay, it’s my fault, just keep talking.”

Qin Yuan said, "There's nothing more to say. For the rest, ask Cui Ming and Hong Ye when we get back. They are more meticulous than me and may be able to think of more."

Gu Jinghui nodded.

These two are her right-hand men, so naturally they are indispensable to the important task of settling Mr. Matsuyama.

The two sat quietly for a while.

Qin Yuan said: "It would be nice if someone were playing stringed instruments in the pavilion opposite right now."

Gu Jinghui said, “When I was young, I used to keep actors and prostitutes in my house. If you want to listen now, I’m afraid you’ll have to borrow Sixth Brother’s concubine.”

After thinking for a while, he said, "Why not raise it again? My mother loved to listen to it in the past, and many aunts in the clan often came to listen to the opera together."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Forget it. I was just saying it casually. If others knew about it, they would probably think I was frivolous."

Gu Jinghui was silent for a while, then said, “Alright, I was thinking about whether I should report my illness to the Emperor. If I keep an actor, it would not be good for the Emperor to know.”
