Chapter 437 Excellent Opportunity

Qin Wan was a little embarrassed, but fortunately Xu Tang changed the subject and asked them if they wanted to watch Cuju together.

"It's very comfortable to play football on such days. The weather is clear and cool in autumn, and you don't sweat much. You and your friends run and jump together, and you don't have any worries. It's very happy just to watch. My sister knows some boxing and kicking, and we often play Cuju together at home. I wonder if the chief priest's family plays this?"

Qin Heng really wanted to go and see.

Qin Wan didn't really want to go back and face the Lin family, so for some reason she said, "We also play a little on weekdays, but not much, so let's go together."

……

Xu's coffin was moved to another place for storage. Qin Yuan felt a lot more relaxed now that she no longer had to accompany guests in the mourning hall every day.

After dealing with daily affairs, he went to visit Gu Baozhu.

Gu Baozhu was lying weakly on the couch. Seeing her coming, she immediately became more energetic and said with a smile, "Third sister-in-law is so nice. You came to see me? It's nothing serious."

Qin Yuan smiled and asked, "Then why were you so sick just now?"

"I thought mother would send someone to see me, didn't she? Wouldn't my energetic mother be angry when she saw me? Seeing me listless, mother gradually stopped being angry."

What Gu Baozhu said was almost the same as what Gu Jinghui said when he was beaten.

It seems that the Gu family members all have their own reasons.

Qin Yuan held back his laughter for a long time.

Gu Baozhu took Qin Yuan aside and talked for a long time, and made an appointment to play polo together in the future.

Qin Yuan said: "You are really good at polo, have you been practicing since you were young?"

In the past, she thought she was a good polo player, but when she saw Gu Baozhu playing polo that day, she felt she was not as good as her. She thought that in her previous life, everyone respected her status and gave in to her in everything.

It’s a pity that I never played polo with my sister-in-law in my previous life.

Gu Baozhu said casually, "I have been riding horses since I was a child, but I learned polo later. My third brother is in the northern frontier all year round, and my sixth brother doesn't interact with the children of military generals. I was young and didn't make many friends when I grew up. I saw that everyone liked to play polo, so I wanted to practice so that I could play together. You can learn it if you play often. It's easy to learn. Don't worry, third sister-in-law, follow me to play. In fact, we are not in such danger every day."

Qin Yuan suddenly felt a little sorry for the little girl. She stroked her hair with a smile and said, "Okay, Third Sister-in-law will play basketball with you from now on."

Gu Baozhu immediately smiled happily and said, "I will teach you when I can ride a horse."

The two sisters-in-law talked for a while, and then the maid came over and said that Dai came to look for Qin Yuan. Gu Baozhu asked curiously, "You don't need to help today, why are you here again?"

Qin Yuan said: "I think something happened. I have to go back to Wutong Garden."

Gu Baozhu said reluctantly: "Third sister-in-law, please come visit me more often. I am so bored lying on the bed."

Qin Yuan said, "Why don't you take this opportunity to ask your sixth brother to teach you how to make couplets? You will need these when you play drinking games in the future."

Gu Baozhu thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

It was rare to see her being so well-behaved, so Qin Yuan smiled.

When we returned to Wutong Garden, Dai was already waiting in the hall.

Qin Yuan asked: "Sister Cheng, why don't you take a rest today? You must be exhausted these days."

Dai Shi didn't see Hongye and the others, so she asked, "Where are Hongye and the others?"

Qin Yuan said, "Today they have to take inventory of the utensils, so that they won't be confused when they come to count them later." Dai praised, "If you ask me, I have never seen a young wife as capable as you. I am in charge of such a large mansion at my age and experience, but I can't manage it as well as you do."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Cheng, just keep praising me, I will really believe it."

Dai smiled and said, "I am a sincere person and I won't say empty words."

Qin Yuan knew that she had something to say, so she waited for a while, and sure enough, Dai asked, "I heard from my aunt at home yesterday that the Marquis came back and captured a few people from the Yelu clan. Were they brought here by that Zhao...?"

Qin Yuan nodded.

"I won't hide it from you. The Marquis hasn't said anything about this matter yet. It was all handled by Gu Shiliu, and I didn't have the time to ask. If Shiliu could find out something, he would have reported it long ago."

Dai looked hesitant, picked up the teacup and then put it down. Qin Yuan was not in a hurry and waited for her to speak slowly.

"I don't know if it's because I've started to doubt myself, but I always feel like something is not right when I look at Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er."

Dai finally spoke out.

Qin Yuan asked: "How do you say that?"

"These two kids have only moved in a short time ago, so I don't know much about their personalities. I've gotten to know them a little better these days. The master likes Cheng Ge'er very much, and he took time to teach him some boxing and kicking. When I went back yesterday, these two kids were particularly clingy and asked a lot of questions about the Marquis' Mansion."

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Where are the maids and servants around them?"

Dai said, "Xiaohong and Zihe are not very useful now. Cheng Ge'er prefers to be close to that old woman. I have been in the Marquis' Mansion during the day these days, and the concubine at home doesn't take care of things. I thought that since they just came, they should stay for a few days first, and then talk about hiring a teacher. I didn't care about the rest."

Qin Yuan said, "Don't worry about the teacher's matter. Let's see what Brother Cheng has to say. If you can't find a good one, I can help you find one. Mr. Songshan is in the mansion now. I'm afraid that the children of the Sixth Master want to study with him. The Marquis also had his eyes on Mr. Songshan before. He took the two children to have dinner with Mr. Songshan. I don't know what Mr. Songshan thinks. I have to ask him first."

Dai was shocked: "Mr. Songshan is so arrogant."

"People with abilities are always a bit arrogant. It's okay to be arrogant, but I'm afraid of those who have no knowledge and abilities, and only have arrogance."

"That's true."

Qin Yuan asked Dai some more questions about how she was doing with the medicine. Dai smiled and said, "I'm fine. I take care of myself every day according to what Doctor Li said. But our master has to report for duty every morning and evening. It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, and His Majesty wants to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. The Five Cities Military Department is very busy. The things they do are extremely trivial, but they are related to the city's appearance and streetscape. The nobles can see them when they go out, so they have to be extra careful. Therefore, we can't always meet Doctor Li. But last time Doctor Li felt my pulse, he said that there was nothing wrong and I would be fine after taking medicine for a while. We plan to wait until this busy period is over before we talk about it."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "That's fine. As long as you are healthy, the rest depends on whether you have children. If you raise Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er, you will be able to have children."

Dai also smiled: "I just hope to raise the child well, and hope this matter will be resolved quickly."

Qin Yuan nodded.

Who doesn't want it to be over quickly?

"It's almost there. Let's keep an eye on it."

Zhao couldn't help but take the child away. If she failed once, she would think of other ways.

But why did Yelu Guzha go to such great lengths?
Qin Yuan tapped the table subconsciously, wondering what the connection was between Zhao and Yelu Guzha.

Dai suddenly said, "Our master really likes Cheng Ge'er. He says he has a big frame and a strong physique, and is a good candidate for martial arts. He is cheerful and motivated. If we can find their mother sooner, we can rest assured. People are made of flesh and blood. After raising a child for a long time, and then losing him, it is inevitable that we will be sad. We are too old to bear it."

"What does Brother Cheng mean?"

"Because of the Queen Mother's birthday, the people from the Five Cities Military Department have to re-check the household and business registers, just in case. My master said this is a great opportunity."
