Chapter 362: He Looks Like a Father
Housekeeper Han said hurriedly: "Madam, you have killed me. I followed the old marquis to the battlefield with my head on my shoulders. I have escaped death several times. I have saved the master's life and have been saved by the master. I have received the master's grace and trust. The lives of my family belong to the master. A few years ago, I saw the incident in the mansion and I was very anxious, but I didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, the Marquis is so brave and invincible, and has made great contributions. The Marquis's mansion is prosperous again. The Marquis cares about us old people and is really kind. The Madam is so capable, and good days are still ahead. If you can use me, I will be happy to serve you. "

Qin Yuan didn't expect that Butler Han, who was always difficult to get close to, would suddenly show his loyalty.

After a while, Fang said, "Butler Han has worked hard and made great contributions. The old lady and the Marquis remember it. With your loyalty and support for the Marquis' Mansion, I don't have to worry too much."

Butler Han was very happy.

"Madam, rest assured. We will make sure that the Xu family's affairs are properly arranged and will never let you worry."

Qin Yuan: “?”

Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, a few stewards came in to see him. They had many uncertainties to report regarding the preparations for Madam Gu Liu's coffin and other items.

Qin Yuan realized that it was not the right time to talk in detail, so she asked Butler Han to do other things.

After dealing with the stewards, Qin Yuan hurriedly said to Hong Mian: "Go find Cui Ming and ask her to ask the sewing room to prepare the burial clothes and mourning clothes..."

Hongmian said: "There are not many people in the sewing room, and I am afraid that they can't sew so much in a hurry. The old housekeepers should know how to deal with emergencies."

Qin Yuan nodded: "You are right, let them sew a few for the young masters first, and for the rest, you can consult with the old steward who helped Butler Zhang before."

Since Butler Han said that the previous deputy could be used, she had to give it a try.

Hongmian went there happily.

As soon as Hongmian left, Xiaohong came forward with swollen eyes and kowtowed.

As soon as Mo Zhu led her in, Xiao Hong sniffed and said in a muffled voice, "Madam, Xiao Hong will go to work at Master Cheng's house today, and I came here specially to kowtow to the master and say goodbye."

After saying that, he knelt at the door and kowtowed three times earnestly.

Qin Yuan smiled.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Hong said, "I don't know when I can return to the Marquis' Mansion or see the Madam, so I have to kowtow to her."

Seeing her pleading, Qin Yuan said, "You will have many opportunities to come back with Master Cheng and the others in the future."

Xiao Hong started to cry. Qin Yuan asked her to stand up and talk. Xiao Hong took two steps closer and whispered, "Madam, please remember to take me back. I have learned a lot of words and also learned how to read account books."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "My words count."

Xiao Hong blinked her eyes and said tearfully, "I will do my job well."

Qin Yuan said, "Don't worry, just stay there for a while and learn more when you have time. Remember to come back and tell me if you have anything."

"it is good."

Xiaohong became happy and stayed for a while. Seeing that Qin Yuan was very busy and Hongye and Cuiming were not there, she had to walk away, looking back every few steps.

Qin Yuan was busy until lunch time and had some free time. Just as she stretched, Gu Jinghui came back with a cold face. As soon as he entered the door, he asked, "What are you having for lunch?"

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go upstairs to eat?"

Gu Jinghui said, “Okay.” After the family reunion banquet, the twins would move to Gu Jingcheng’s place. Now they could go over there and have a meal and chat together.

Gu Jinghui was very satisfied with this arrangement, and his expression became much warmer.

Qin Yuan said, "Sister-in-law Cheng came this morning and said that her family had been sending invitations overnight. She also asked us why we were in such a hurry and that our previous agreement was no longer valid. So I told her about my sixth brother's wife."

Gu Jinghui said: “Well, our mansion also sent out invitations overnight last night. Fortunately, the people we invited were all our comrades in the army, so they don’t have so many requirements.”

Qin Yuan said, "That's good. You can say some soft words to the two children later. They will live in Sister Cheng's house in the future. It won't be as easy to meet them as it is now. They don't have their mother by their side, and they have to settle in a new home. There are people around them who are instigating them. It's inevitable that they will have many thoughts."

Gu Jinghui nodded, "As you wish."

The couple went upstairs, and Aunt Rong came out to greet them, saying, "The old lady was talking with Young Master Kang and Young Master Fu in the room, and they were just coaxed out."

Qin Yuan frowned and said, "Well... Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er are leaving, and we were thinking of having lunch together and chatting..."

Gu Jinghui and Aunt Rong couldn't help but frown.

Aunt Rong said carefully, "I'm afraid the Sixth Master will also come."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Mr. Gu Liu probably wasn't happy to see the twins at this moment.

Qin Yuan said, "Why don't you go to the outer courtyard to take the two children to dinner, and I will stay here with mother and nephews."

A trace of displeasure flashed across Lord Gu's stern face, and he only responded muffledly, "Hmm."

Seeing his unhappy expression, Qin Yuan hurriedly said, "My husband, come in with me and talk to my mother first before leaving. There is no need to rush for such a short while. I can also ask Xiuniang to make more food. I will ask the small kitchen to make some dishes that my husband and the two children like and send them over. All of them will be charged to my account. How do you think?"

Aunt Rong couldn't help but laugh and said, "So it was Madam who paid for the Marquis to host the banquet."

A hint of smile flashed across Lord Gu's eyes, and his voice softened: "Well, why not do more? I'll ask Mr. Songshan to accompany us, so that he can see what Brother Cheng'er's qualifications are."

Qin Yuan knew that Lord Gu wanted to find a good teacher for Cheng Ge'er and had his eye on Mr. Songshan, so he said, "That's fine, but why not wait until they are settled in Sister Cheng's place and stay for a few more days before talking about studying."

Lord Gu thought for a moment and said, "That's right."

The couple went into the house while talking.

When Madam Gu saw them coming, she smiled and said, "You guys have long noses. You came here just because you smelled something. You know I'm going to make something delicious."

Brothers Kang and Fu, who were sitting on the Hu bed with Madam Gu, stood up and bowed immediately, saying pitifully, "Uncle and aunt are here too, I wonder if my father will come."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "If your father is free, he will definitely come. There are a lot of things going on at home these days..."

Before she finished her words, Madam Gu said, "No matter how busy you are, you have to eat. Send someone to call Lao Liu here."

Gu Jinghui frowned and said, “Yes, I’ll ask Sixteen to call him. No matter how busy he is, he has to stay here.”

Madam Gu was happy then. "Baozhu said she wanted to accompany her nephews and nieces, but she went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. That crazy girl, let's not talk about it anymore. You should just have dinner with me and chat."

Gu Jinghui frowned even more tightly, "Baozhu went out again?"

He wanted to say something but in the end he didn't say it. He just sat down and talked with the children. After a while, Master Gu Liu came and talked about poetry with Qin Yuan. He also taught Kang Ge'er how to write poetry and Fu Ge'er how to make couplets. He was very patient and looked like a kind father.
