Chapter 361 Anxious

After all, they are siblings. Although he despises her, Lord Gu still doesn't say one thing, which is that his seventh sister is a person who can't control her mouth.

The family affairs were exaggerated and spread out of context, otherwise Zhao would not have been rumored to be his concubine.

Qin Yuan knew it, and Lord Gu also knew that Qin Yuan knew it.

But seeing Qin Yuan protecting Gu Baozhu, Lord Gu would naturally not be tactless to bring it up. He couldn't help but secretly express his hope - it would be great if Madam could teach Seventh Sister well.

"Since Sixth Brother became close to the Qin family, he has become a much better person. Seventh Sister should be able to do the same," Lord Gu whispered to Gu Shiliu in private, "Baozhu may also become a lady from a wealthy family."

Gu Shiliu quietly rolled his eyes.

It is still possible to make Gu Baozhu stop causing trouble and be more prudent. Isn't it harder to make her a lady from a wealthy family than to make Mr. Gu Liu the top scholar in the imperial examination?
Gu Shiliu replied after careful consideration: "Miss Seven will learn better from Madam."

Lord Gu deeply agreed with this.

In fact, the confident Gu Baozhu only comforted her two crying nephews for a while before she could not wait any longer and rode out to the teahouse to drink tea, and returned home before curfew.

Qin Yuan naturally also received the letter.

Hongye was shocked and asked, "Miss Qi is like this, isn't the old lady angry?"

Her daughter has never been so wild in her life.

Miss Seven has just been released from confinement, how dare you do this?

Cui Ming, who remained silent, also had a look of disapproval on her face.

Qin Yuan was busy looking at the menu for the family recognition banquet and didn't even raise her head.

"The daughters of military commanders are different from those of civil officials. They have been like this since they were young. It is common for them to go to operas, drink tea, watch acrobatics, and go to restaurants and teahouses. They are very free. If it were a few years ago, the old lady would still restrict her, but now that the marquis has returned, girls are all guests of honor. As long as they don't do anything too out of line, she can do whatever she wants."

Hongye: "..."

Cui Ming: “…”

After a while, Hongye stuck out her tongue and said, "My goodness, the difference between the Marquis's Mansion and ours is too big. Miss Seven is really living a comfortable life."

Cui Ming also nodded: "If our young lady hadn't married into the family, how would we know that they live like this."

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "It's because the Marquis's Mansion loves their daughter and is rich, otherwise they wouldn't be like this. Every family has its own rules and ways of living. We should watch more, think more, and talk less."

There are different styles in Shili, and different customs in Baili.

In some places, women cannot even leave their homes, but in nearby places, women can go out and do business. It all depends on the local customs.

Most of the officials in the capital came from other provinces and had different customs.

The Qin family is a ruined southern noble family with many rules and regulations and is very frugal.

Fortunately, Qin Jijiu was not one of those corrupt scholars who relied on setting rules for his daughter to gain fame. Her life in the Qin Mansion was hard, but bearable.

Most of the military generals came from Yan and Zhao, and the daughters of their families did live more extravagantly than the daughters of civil officials. However, after a few years, civil officials were respected in the court, and the restrictions imposed by the literati on women prevailed, and the requirements for women in the folk became more and more stringent.

Hongye said after a while: "I have to say that our young lady is really blessed. Marrying into a family like the Marquis' Mansion, the children will suffer less and worry less in the future. Others have to look at other people's faces when they go out to socialize, and our young lady mostly looks at other people's faces." Cuiming became interested and said: "In this way, we have to be more friendly when we meet Yanhong and others in the future. Following the young lady, we can be considered to be in high esteem. If it were in the past, I would never dream of being in charge of the needlework room and being flattered everywhere.

Yanhong complained last time that Mr. Lin's mother was very difficult to deal with. Mr. Lin tried to coax the second young lady at first, but now he has started to speak loudly and arrogantly. Life for these personal maids is very difficult."

Hongye immediately said, "Young lady is blessed, and those of us who serve her are also blessed. When we follow her to temples and Taoist temples in the future, we must donate more merits."

Cui Ming looked down on him and asked, "How much money do you have?"

Hongye said, "Miss promised me wealth in the future. Can't a small rich man afford to donate lamp oil? Let alone other things, when the pepper makes money, I will directly donate ten taels of silver to Puji Temple. Pray that I will be so blessed in the next life."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, I promise you a life of wealth and honor, but you must work hard."

Cui Ming also smiled and said, "It's getting late. Hurry up and help the young lady to rest. Only when the young lady has eaten and rested well will she have the energy to take us to enjoy happiness."

It was getting late and Lord Gu was still busy in the front yard. Qin Yuan didn't wait for him and packed up to rest. She didn't know when he would come back.

On the second day, Dai came to sit with them early in the morning. Both families had hurriedly sent out invitations to invite guests and decided to hold the family recognition banquet today.

Cui Ming prepared clothes, shoes and socks for the twins, and also matched them with purses, sachets and other items and sent them to the upper room. Old Madam Gu also gave them two mutton-fat jade pendants for them to wear when they attended the event.

Butler Han gathered everyone together to clean the hall, while Hongye helped Qin Yuan supervise the stewards and the stewards' mothers in preparing the banquet.

Dai asked, "Didn't we agree on a date? Why did you hurry it up? My master sent the invitation overnight and didn't let me get involved at all. I didn't know if you were busy enough, so I came to take a look."

Qin Yuan sighed, "That's right. The originally agreed rules are no longer valid. Yesterday, the Sixth Master filed a lawsuit against the Xu family. The Dean came to see the Sixth Brother's wife and was afraid that she would not be able to survive. It will only take a few days. The Marquis said that he wanted to hold the family recognition banquet quickly. It was also for the sake of the two children, so it was inevitable that it was a bit hasty."

Hearing this, Dai was shocked and asked in panic, "Could it be that the Sixth Madam..."

Qin Yuan nodded heavily.

Dai sighed and said, "No wonder, it's better to do it sooner rather than later. Is it so urgent now?"

Qin Yuan said, "My two nephews were called back yesterday to take care of the sick. I was very busy here and could not take care of them. It was my seventh sister who helped to comfort them. I haven't experienced anything serious, so I have to prepare everything early to avoid being caught off guard."

Dai sighed, "That's right. She is so young, how could she prepare all these things so early? If you need my help, just tell me, don't tell others."

Qin Yuan agreed.

Dai said hurriedly, "You are busy here, I will go back first and come back in the evening."

"Okay," Qin Yuan sent her out.

Today was indeed a busy day. The prosecutor came to the mansion to question him, and it was Butler Cao who handled all the questions.

Qin Yuan called Butler Han and asked, "The positions of Accountant Sun and Butler Zhang have been vacated. Do you have any candidates you can recommend?"

Butler Han thought for a moment and said, "The original assistant is pretty good, Madam, why don't you use him for the time being."

Qin Yuan nodded.

"I am young and I have just arrived at the mansion. I was entrusted with this important task by the old lady and the Marquis because of their trust. It is inevitable that I have made many mistakes. Our mansion is large and has many rules. It is easy to make mistakes without the advice of the elders. If it is a matter within the mansion, it is fine. The housekeepers will always tell me about it. If it is a matter for the outside world, it will bring shame to our mansion. I hope that Butler Han can help me."
