Chapter 363 What I Heard Outside

Mrs. Gu felt slightly comforted when she saw this.

Lord Gu couldn't help but glance at Qin Yuan.

Kang'er and Fu'er are both lovable, but they are short like the sixth master Gu. Although they are one or two years older than the twins, they are still not as tall as them, and their bodies are not strong enough. Their mother is indeed very discerning. The sixth son's family can only find a way to become a writer in the future.

Lord Gu couldn't help but think: "If Yuan'er gave birth to a son, he would definitely be tall and big, and I would like him. He might be both civil and military in the future."

Madam Rong coughed lightly and said, "Madam, the food is ready. Why don't we set the table now?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Gu immediately stood up and said, "Mother, I still have some words to tell Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er, so I won't eat here."

Madam Gu also understood and said unhappily, "You go, and just leave your wife here."

No matter how much I love the twins, these past few months have wasted a lot of my time. Now I don't even love and care for my own poor children and grandchildren, so how can I focus so much attention on them?

Rong Mama hurriedly spoke up, "My Lord, our two families have already discussed the food, clothing, housing and transportation of Young Master Cheng and Miss Yu at Master Cheng's house. The people who went to Master Cheng's house were also chosen by the siblings themselves. Today is a good day for them. They came here early in the morning to kowtow. Madam and the old lady also gave them clothes and accessories. It would be good for My Lord to talk to them more."

Although the two families are next to each other, once you leave the gate of the mansion, they are two separate families.

If there is anything you want to say or comfort, it would be best to do so before the family recognition banquet.

Madam Gu said, "Madame Rong is right. We have done what we should do. As your foster father, you should also make your words clear. Don't go to other people's homes and cause trouble again."

Lord Gu smiled and said, "My son has taken note of it. How can this cause any trouble? They are still young. They will understand better when they grow up."

Qin Yuan looked at Lord Gu with amusement, and approached Old Madam Gu and acted coquettishly, saying, "I can't be driven away even if my mother chases me away. My precious grandson is here today, so he must have prepared some good things."

Aunt Rong laughed, "I didn't expect Madam to be such a greedy person."

Madam Gu smiled and said, "I didn't forget you when I gave food to my precious grandchildren. You are right. The farm has just sent us a lot of new things. They are all good things that are not available on the market. Xiuniang said she wanted to show off her skills. The third child will not have a good time. You should not go with her."

Kang Ge'er and Fu Ge'er stopped talking about poetry with Gu Liuye and immediately came over to surround Old Madam Gu and asked, "Grandma, what delicious and fun things did the farm send? Last time we made a lot of pheasant feathers to make shuttlecocks, which were so beautiful. Village head Wu said he would find some beautiful feathers for us, but I don't know if he found them or if he forgot them."

Qin Yuan smiled: "What are you going to do with the beautiful tail feathers? All the things handed in by the village heads are recorded in the account. If it is a small thing, it may take a while to be delivered. They should not dare to forget the things that the young masters want."

Lord Gu chatted for a few words and then took his leave.

Seeing that the two children were in much better spirits, Mrs. Gu didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore and just coaxed her grandchildren to eat around her.

Qiu Ju quietly told Qin Yuan that Xiuniang had also sent a food box to the front yard. Qin Yuan smiled and said, "I know that my mother will naturally arrange something for the Marquis. Are you really not going to give him food?"

Qiuju just laughed.

After finishing his meal, Qin Yuan did not stay long as he had other things to do. He hurried back to Wutong Garden to rest, planning to go to the office at the second gate to handle business at a certain time.

When the maids saw her coming back, they hurriedly reported, "Madam, the kitchen has sent six dishes to the front yard."

Qin Yuan nodded, "Okay, does the Marquis have any instructions?"

Lord Gu was usually very casual about his food, clothing and other expenses. This time, when he dined with his two children, he only asked Mr. Songshan to accompany him. Four dishes were sent from the upper room, six from Wutong Garden, three from the big kitchen, and a magnolia soup. It was considered a very sumptuous meal.

Apart from the small number of people accompanying them, there was nothing to complain about. The little maid said, "The Marquis said it was very good. Mr. Songshan liked some of the dishes very much. The Marquis also said that he would send them to him when he had more in the future."

"When your sister Hongye comes back later, tell her about this and ask her to remember it and take good care of Mr. Songshan's diet in the future."

The little maid immediately agreed.

Ever since Hongmian received several vegetable rewards, the maids have become more clever and attentive in their work.

Seeing that Hongye and Cuiming were not at home, Qin Yuan asked Mozhu to help her take off the hairpins on her head and change her clothes before taking a nap.

Mo Zhu was guarding outside. The yard was quiet and the maids didn't dare to make a sound. Some went back to take a nap, while those who stayed in the corridor were doing needlework.

Gu Baozhu rushed in and called out, "Is sister-in-law here?"

Mo Zhu was startled, and hurriedly went to meet her, bowed and asked, "Seventh Miss, Madam is resting, what's the matter?"

"Third sister-in-law is still taking a lunch break?"

Gu Baozhu couldn't help but lower her voice.

Mo Zhu whispered, "Madam is having dinner in the upper room. She has just come back to rest. She will be busy with the family recognition banquet later."

Gu Baozhu curled her lips and said, "In that case, I'll go back and talk to my sister-in-law in the evening."

When Qin Yuan woke up, she learned about this, "Did Miss Seven come to look for me as soon as she entered the mansion?"

Mo Zhu said, "It seems so. Miss Seven was very excited and started shouting as soon as she came in. I don't know what happened to her outside, but it doesn't look like an emergency, let alone a bad thing."

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. If she has any problem, she will come to me."

After she had washed and dressed, she went to the courtyard where she worked. The stewards and their wives had already lined up, each craning their necks and standing on tiptoe, waiting to report work and withdraw money and materials.

The family recognition banquet and Madam Gu Liu's funeral were both prepared in a hurry. Qin Yuan was afraid of confusing them and making a fool of himself by being in a hurry, so he simply divided the people into two groups. After the family recognition banquet was over, they would come together to prepare for Madam Gu Liu's funeral.

When Gu Baozhu came, Qin Yuan had almost finished dealing with the matter and was planning to go back to rest and change clothes before welcoming the guests.

"Third sister-in-law, are you done with your work here?"

Gu Baozhu was all smiles.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "No, but I can't take care of it right now. I have to go back and change my clothes for meeting the guests. I'm afraid your sister-in-law Cheng will be here soon. Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er are still in the upper room. Let Rong Mama take a look to see if they are dressed up. They have to come out and kowtow to meet the guests later."

Gu Baozhu curled her lips and said, "It would be fine if we just do it casually. There are so many things going on in the mansion, and we are in a hurry to hold a family recognition banquet for them."

Qin Yuan didn't respond.

Gu Baozhu said again: "Third sister-in-law, I went out for tea today. Guess what news I heard and who I met?"

Seeing that she looked a bit cunning and shy, Qin Yuan asked curiously, "What news have you heard? Why don't you tell me?"
