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

Chapter 410 You Think of a Solution
Seeing that she kept her head down and didn't say anything, Lin Ziqi's eyebrows flashed with anxiety and annoyance, and he said urgently: "I think Liuying Collection will definitely be sold before the Spring Examination. Master Gu Liu is good friends with Qin Siyuan, and he will use this to make him famous. If I can also have this opportunity, my performance in the palace examination will definitely be outstanding."

"I was so worried about this that I couldn't eat or sleep well. Perhaps it was because of this that I couldn't find a good idea, and the poems I wrote always felt a little off."

After saying that, he looked at Qin Wan expectantly, his fingers tightly pinching the corner of the quilt.

Qin Wan said after a while: "...Or...Or, I'll go talk to my father. Big sister will still listen to my father's words."

What this means is that we should find a way to include Lin Ziqi's poems.

I thought Lin Ziqi would be satisfied now.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ziqi struggled to sit up, with a look of rejection on his face, and said sternly: "I know you are thinking about me, but if I can't come up with a good poem, people will gossip about me if I am selected. I am not that guy Gu Jingjun, who donated the title of garrison just to look good, so I don't care what others say, as long as the poem I write can be included in the poetry collection."

Now Qin Wan didn't know what to say.

Neither left nor right will work.

What on earth should I do?!
"Husband, what should we do then?"

Lin Ziqi stared at Qin Wan, who looked confused, and said, "Your sister is very talented in poetry, and the work you dreamed of last time was also excellent...would you like to think of another way?"

……

Lord Gu was sweating all over after soaking in the bath, so he simply washed his hair again. After coming out, he asked Qin Yuan to wipe his hair for him.

Qin Yuan said: "How do you usually wipe it? I'm busy here, you just keep pestering me."

"What are you busy with?"

Lord Gu's cheeks were flushed, his black hair was wet and stuck to his scalp, and his pair of dark eyes were staring at Qin Yuan expectantly. He looked very docile, very different from his usual arrogance and coldness.

When Qin Yuan saw it, her heart softened and she involuntarily reached out to take the handkerchief.

"Please sit down and I'll wipe it for you. I'm just flipping through the book to see what gifts those people gave me. I want to have a rough idea of ​​what they gave me. When mother takes me out for a walk in a few days, I'll have a rough idea of ​​what I should have."

Gu Jinghui then moved a footstool and sat at Qin Yuan's feet, saying, "Just wipe it off. I just feel a little uncomfortable and want to talk to you. The people from the Ministry of Personnel haven't made any moves so far. Will they not send someone tomorrow? Besides, will they be partial to each other when they sit together to work? I have many royal relatives and nobles here to bother me, and they also need people to pass notes to them."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Why don't you go and talk to Mr. Songshan about these things? You have such a big person and you don't need him."

"He said that three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. In this mansion, only you, me and him can make up three people. Am I supposed to ask Lao Liu?"

Qin Yuan said as she wiped the dirt, "If the people from the Ministry of Personnel don't come, you should set some rules for them. The prince's marriage is still unsettled, and Princess Fuyun has been assigned to Zhang Hanlin. Queen Lin and the emperor are probably thinking of other ways to find a husband for the prince. The emperor will definitely be unhappy if you and them are so friendly."

Gu Jinghui clapped his hands and said, “Great! I’m really not as good as you in understanding people’s minds.”

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Why are you praising me so much today?"

Gu Jinghui also smiled: "No, I really admire you. That's good. If the people from the Ministry of Personnel don't come, I will kill a chicken to scare the monkeys."

Qin Yuan wiped it twice more and said, "As for how to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, you can ask Mr. Songshan. If you ask me, if you want to keep him in the mansion, you should find more things for him to do. Otherwise, he will be bored staying in the mansion and may be more willing to go out and tell stories in the tile house to pass the time."

Then she handed the towel to Lord Gu, and ran her slender fingers through his hair, touching it, and then said, "Okay, you take your time to bask in the sun, and don't let the wind blow you, otherwise you will get a headache when you get old." "Okay, I see," Gu Jinghui stood up and said, "You're right, I'll go find him right away, I'll have dinner in the outer courtyard, and I'll come back later to discuss an important matter with you."

Before he finished speaking, he hurried out.

At dinner time, Hongye came back and asked curiously, "My Lord, are you not having dinner here today?"

Qin Yuan said: "He is eating in the outer courtyard."

Hongye smiled and said, "Looking at how clingy the Marquis is, I thought we would have dinner here as well."

Qin Yuan blushed and said, "You are not busy enough. You just talk about these things all day long."

Hongye said hurriedly, "It's too busy. There are so many things going on in the mansion, and they are all relatives. Fortunately, Mozhu and Hongmian are both family-born children, and their families are also well-known. They know all the twists and turns and relationships. If they hadn't told me, I wouldn't know so many connections."

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "That's why I pointed these two people out to you. One person might hide things from you, but two people won't. Otherwise, once you start pointing fingers, you won't know how you offend people. They may not say anything now, but they will secretly trip you up in the future, and you won't even know what's going on."

Hongye said, "But if you want to do something, you will always offend people. So what should you do?"

Qin Yuan said, "The rules are there. You can either appoint people based on personal connections or follow the rules. You have to know who you offended because they are all connected to you. If they want to ruin your business, you have to scrape them off by the roots. After a few times, they will know how powerful you are."

Hongye said, "My dear lady, when did you become so experienced? It's enough for me to learn from you for the rest of my life."

As they were talking, Cui Ming came back.

The most tiring job these days is the sewing room. Cui Ming came in with two large packages in her hands and said, "Finally, we have finished cleaning all the clothes."

Hongye came over to take it, opened it and looked at it, then said with a smile: "There are so many, enough to wear until the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Qin Yuan said: "Cui Ming has been working really hard these days, and she has lost a lot of weight."

"It's a good thing that there are few masters in the mansion," Cui Ming sighed, "In the past, most of the needlework in the Qin family was done by ourselves. Who would look for someone who specializes in needlework in the mansion? There would be no work. So I didn't know the needlework room would be so busy."

Hongye asked, "How is Mother Li managing?"

Cui Ming nodded: "Maybe because of Mother Lu's presence, Mother Li is very diligent."

Qin Yuan said: "After this matter is over, I will double your monthly salary."

Hongye asked, "Is it only in the sewing room?"

"Everyone has it."

Cuiming and Hongye were both very happy, but they were also careful not to make too much noise so as to avoid being gossiped about in the future.

Qin Yuan ordered the maid to come in and set the table, and the three of them sat together to eat. After a while, they heard the curtain outside, and the maid said, "Madam, housekeeper Cao wants to see you."

Qin Yuan felt strange and hurriedly asked someone to come in. Butler Cao reported through the beaded curtain: "Madam, there is a foreign beauty outside who wants to see you. She claims to be the concubine of Yelu's hostage."
