Chapter 350 Agreed
The night was dark, the breeze was blowing gently, the thick wine had already rolled over, and the pavilion was filled with the sweet and rich aroma of wine.

Lord Gu's drooping eyelashes were as dense as feathers. Although it was a very nice night, Qin Yuan inexplicably felt a bit solemn. With a thought, she smiled and said, "Cao Cao and Liu Bei were drinking wine and talking about heroes. Lord Gu was using the wine to tell me his secrets. However, they were drinking green plum wine, and we were drinking Huang Gui Chou wine."

Lord Gu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to move the pot aside, and said with a chuckle, "Yuan'er, try the fruit wine I made."

Other people's fruit wine is brewed, but his is boiled.

Qin Yuan also smiled and watched Lord Gu filter the wine himself. After the wine slowly cooled down, she raised it to her lips and drank it all. Lord Gu stared at her face with burning eyes, as if this was the only most important thing at the moment.

Only when she showed a satisfied look did Gu Jinghui happily say, “Commander Jin said that his wife loves to drink this. It is added with sweet osmanthus and yellow peaches. It is fragrant, sour and sweet, and very suitable for women’s taste.”

Qin Yuan nodded, "It is indeed delicious. Does Madam Jin like to drink that tea too?"

Lord Gu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Commander Jin never said that."

The two of them stopped talking again, and Gu Jinghui filtered another lamp for Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan felt a little hot from drinking, so she walked to the pavilion railing and leaned over to look at the water. At this time, there were more and more fireflies flying around. She was happy to see them, but she heard Gu Jinghui say quietly behind her: "Cao Cao and Liu Bei are chasing the world together. Yuan'er and I are husband and wife, so we should talk to each other without reservation."

Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then turned around to face Lord Gu, met his sharp gaze, and nodded, "Very true. If Lord Gu has made up his mind, I will lend a helping hand, and even Lord Yuanzheng will not be able to find fault with it."

Gu Jinghui was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, walked over, gently held Qin Yuan's slender waist and said, "Very good, it's great to have a wife like this."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Now that we have talked, drank tea, and had wine, isn't it time to go for a swim? Don't forget what you said to coax me here."

"Of course," Gu Jinghui smiled and whistled towards the shore. Soon, a small boat came out from under the clustered lotus leaves and soon landed under the pavilion.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "You have prepared everything carefully."

Lord Gu nodded and said, "This is not a difficult task. I can fight a war, so how can I not prepare for this?"

After that, he held Qin Yuan's slender waist and jumped into the boat. Qin Yuan couldn't help but shout, "My husband, you have great skills."

Lord Gu's smile widened, but he didn't look at her. He just pretended to appreciate the fluorescent dots and said in a calm voice, "It's just a trifle."

The colorful lanterns went out one by one, leaving only a lonely lamp on the boat. On the dome, the glow of fireflies competed with the starlight. The boat swayed gently on the water, and along with the ripples, two hearts were getting closer and closer.

After that night, Qin Yuan got several more firefly poems with different artistic conceptions. After seeing them, Mr. Songshan urged Gu Liuye, "Look at how wonderful these poems are from Nantang Gongzi. If you don't work harder, how can you stand up to him? You must memorize the Complete Tang Poems I told you to recite in the next few days."

The listless Gu Liuye sighed, "Mr. Nantang's talent is beyond my reach. Let alone Mr. Nantang, I'm afraid that the works of elementary school students in the Imperial College are better than mine. Although I love to write poems, I am also self-aware. Besides, the Xu family's affairs have been confusing enough these days, and I can't concentrate on doing things and reciting poems."

Mr. Songshan sneered, "Of course there is talent in this world. Some people study hard for decades but are still a student, while others have won the imperial examination in their teens. But I have never heard of anyone who can recite the Complete Tang Poems having talent."

Gu Liuye opened his mouth to argue. Mr. Songshan said, "After you have weighed the pros and cons of the Xu family's affairs, you can do whatever you want. Do you think you can change anything by sitting in your house and worrying about it?"

Master Gu Liu quickly shook his head: "Of course not."

Mr. Songshan said aggressively: "So are you really worried about the Xu family's affairs? Or are you worried about the consequences of improper handling of the Xu family's affairs?"

Mr. Gu Liu was stunned.

Mr. Songshan said: "Ask your heart, your heart will tell you."

Gu Liuye panicked and said, "I have never thought about this before. I don't know what's going on. I am at a loss and can't answer. Please don't despise my stupidity. Please teach me."

Mr. Songshan said, "If you are worried about the Xu family's affairs, you should naturally think of a way to solve the Xu family's affairs. Whether you ask for help or think of a way to do it yourself, there is always a way. How can you worry so much that you can't do anything? If you worry about the various consequences of the Xu family's affairs and care about gains and losses, you will be worried and can't do anything."

Gu Liuye was stunned at first, then he shouted as if he had suddenly realized something, and murmured, "So that's it, so that's it."

Mr. Songshan looked disgusted and said, "So, there is nothing in the world that only mediocre people worry about."

Master Gu Liu was not annoyed when he heard this. He leaned closer with a smug look and said with a smile, "I am a mediocre person. I still have some self-awareness. No wonder I am so anxious and restless all day. If it weren't for the teacher teaching me, I wouldn't know what I was worried about. It turns out that I am not worried about my inability to handle the Xu family's affairs, but I am worried about the consequences of this incident."

Mr. Songshan glanced at him and said calmly, "Do you think you can still recite the Complete Tang Poems now?"

Gu Liuye said, "I will immediately find my third brother and his wife to arrange everything, and then I can carry him in."

Mr. Songshan glanced at him again, and finally said, "After you have memorized them, go find Qin Siyuan to ask for advice. Didn't Qin Jijiu take his youngest son to sort out the poems about fireflies from ancient times to the present? Memorize them all, and then select the good poems and sentences, write them into a book, and then come back to me."

Gu Liuye immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for teaching me, sir."

Mr. Songshan sighed and said, "Why should I teach you? I am just discussing some knowledge of poetry with you. But before discussing, you should have some knowledge in your mind. What do you think?"

Gu Liuye's face turned purple, and he laughed dryly, "Of course, Mr. Songshan is right. I will come to find you when I am ready."

Mr. Songshan said, "Sixth Master, please go and do your work. I will be staying in the mansion for a long time in the future. There will be plenty of opportunities to discuss poetry, but you don't have dozens of poetry collections in your stomach, so there is no way to discuss it."

Master Gu Liu hesitated and said, "In fact, I have read a lot of poetry over the years. Even during the period when the mansion was closed, I also read a lot of poetry, but it was of little use."

Mr. Songshan said, "What's the point of just seeing it in a hurry? That's why I asked you to memorize it all."

Master Gu Liu's brows relaxed, and he hurriedly bowed to Mr. Songshan, then turned around to look for his third brother. Before he reached the door of the study, the doorman said from a distance: "Master Liu, please go somewhere else. The Marquis is in the study talking to Gu Shiliu and Gu Shiba about something important."
