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

Chapter 50 How can you guard against thieves for a thousand years?

Gu Jinghui said: "Everything is up to mother to arrange."

Madam Gu said, "Don't worry about it from now on. If the two children feel unwell, just let them come to me. The important thing is for you and Yuan'er to give me grandchildren as soon as possible."

Madam Zhao and the twins were originally taken care of by her and Madam Rong, so why did they keep looking for the old man?

Gu Jinghui nodded heavily.

"With mom taking care of me, there's nothing for me to worry about."

Madam Gu continued, "The people in the northern part of the border are open-minded. Madam Zhao probably doesn't want to wait for the one in front of her. When she is done mourning, I will personally match her up with a good marriage for her. You should stay away from her these days. If any of the servants in the mansion say something irrelevant, I will never forgive them."

Gu Jinghui breathed a sigh of relief.

He remembered that his sixth and seventh sisters were involved, and he couldn't help but complain, "Mother, these rumors were spread by my sixth and seventh sisters. If it wasn't for Yuan'er reminding me that I had just returned victorious, how could there be these rumors? Could it be directed at me? I went to check it out. I thought it was just gossip from ignorant people before."

Madam Gu held the rosary tightly in her hand and asked in disbelief, "You said that these words were spread by Lao Liu's wife and Baozhu?"

Gu Jinghui repeated what Gu Shiliu had said.

Madam Gu was silent for a long while, then said, "You brought back Madam Zhao and the two children from the northern frontier. Even your mother was worried that you might take Madam Zhao as your concubine, fearing that you might do something stupid. This is not the fault of others, but what Baozhu said outside was really inappropriate."

Gu Jinghui said, “She must be disciplined. My son has asked Sixteen to sign her up for the Qiqiao Festival embroidery competition. If she doesn’t get a place, she can just stay at home and embroider well.”

Madam Gu was also annoyed that Gu Baozhu was so careless with her words that it made it difficult for Gu Jinghui to get married.

She originally thought that people disliked her son because he was older.

I didn't expect there were so many things behind it.

But fortunately, Qin Yuan was the one chosen in the end.

This can be considered a blessing in disguise.

"All right," Madam Gu stopped pampering Gu Baozhu and said, "It's time for her to get married and control her temper. If she continues like this, it will give me a headache."

It's okay for men, but for a woman, getting married is like living her life all over again.

No matter how successful you are at your parents' home, you will have to start all over again when you go to your husband's home.

But we can't spoil him anymore.

Madam Gu suddenly asked, "Is it okay to let Baozhu learn from Yuan'er?"

Gu Jinghui was stunned for a moment, then said, “Then my son should go and find out what Yuan Er is thinking.”

He didn't agree to it right away.

Madam Gu was very satisfied with this and nodded, saying, "Go and ask. If Yuan'er doesn't want to, then don't mention it. You can only blame Baozhu for not being lucky enough."

Gu Jinghui responded and wanted to leave.

Madam Gu stopped him and said, "Ask Yuan'er about the story. I want to hear it."

"My son knows."

After Gu Jinghui left, Madam Gu called in Rong Mama who was guarding outside and said, "Just now, Brother Hui called me mother."

Aunt Rong asked in surprise, "The old lady has been coaxing the Marquis for so many years, but he never yelled, why is he yelling now?"

"I saw that he was getting anxious, calling his mother and asking me to help him make a decision."

Madam Gu laughed out loud.

"This daughter-in-law is a great choice. Yuan'er calls me mom every day, and Hui'er followed suit in a few days. He was very serious at a young age, and he stopped calling me mom after he was a few years old."

Rong Mama said, "The Marquis has learned to act like a spoiled child. Yes, the Marquis also loved to act like a spoiled child when he was young, but he changed after being scolded by the old Marquis." Madam Gu said, "Don't mention that old thing to spoil the fun."

Rong Mama smiled and said, "The Marquis is frightened by Fengxuan Pavilion. If it were before..."

If it were in the past, Gu Jinghui would have had a gloomy face and carried it silently.

Speaking of Fengxuan Pavilion, Madam Gu became excited again and said, "When that woman came, I knew she was scheming, but I didn't expect she would dare to think this way. Bai Que was won over by her again, and she hid many things from us, and she almost succeeded."

Aunt Rong said, "Bai Que's mind is crooked. Let her go to the manor in the future. Otherwise, just marry her and let her serve outside."

Madam Gu nodded.

Madam Zhao is the wife of my benefactor and is living in the Marquis's mansion with her children. She should be treated with great importance and not be neglected. If she is neglected, it would tarnish the Marquis's reputation and make people misunderstand that he is ungrateful.

But if we leave it like this, I don’t know how much trouble it will cause.

There is only a thousand years of being a thief, but there is no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand years.

Madam Gu asked Aunt Rong, "I remember there was a maid named Zihe who went with Bai Que. Why did she disappear later?"

Rong Mama thought for a moment and said, "Not long after Zihe left, she said her parents were ill and asked for leave to go home and take care of them. At that time, the old lady was gracious and rewarded her with silver and half a ginseng root."

Madam Gu said, "Send someone to ask how her mother and father are doing. If they are well, come back early to serve them."

Grandma Rong nodded.

If we suddenly arrange someone to go in at this time, it will arouse Madam Zhao's suspicion.

Purple lotus is indeed much more appropriate.

"I asked Qiuju to go and have a look. The child is very thoughtful and considerate. If Zihe can't come back, you can ask her something else."

After hearing what Old Madam Gu said, Gu Jinghui put aside all his worries and hurried back to Wutong Garden to look for Qin Yuan.

"Third brother, third brother."

Gu Jinghui stopped and saw Gu Jingjun, with several scratches on his face, coming out from behind the Taihu stone rockery.

"What's going on with you?"

Gu Jingjun had always been particular about his appearance, but now not only did he have a few scratches on his face, his clothes were also wrinkled and stained, as if he had been in some filthy place.

“Hey, don’t mention it.” Gu Jingjun stretched out his hand and asked, “Third brother, can you lend me some money?”

Gu Jinghui was about to reach into his pocket to take out the banknotes, but stopped: "What do you want to borrow money for?"

Gu Jingjun said anxiously: “Good Third Brother, don’t ask anymore, I will return the money to you as soon as I get it.”

"I won't lend it to you unless you explain clearly."

Lord Gu was worried that his sixth brother had done something wrong and would really borrow money from him to buy a prostitute who played the pipa.

Then won’t Mrs. Gu Liu come to my house and cry?

His mother won't forgive him either.

“Why is Third Brother so stingy?” Gu Jingjun’s usually soft voice became sharper and harsher, “Did that woman go to Mother to cry again? Otherwise, Third Brother wouldn’t treat me like this.”

Lord Gu did not hide it and said, "That's right. Your wife cried for a long time. She said she has been crying since last night. She said you just got married to a prostitute and you want to buy someone who can play the pipa. Your mother was so upset early in the morning that she had to go to your sister-in-law to comfort her. You have several sons, but you are still so dissolute. I can't indulge you anymore."

Gu Jingjun said angrily, “Third brother, you can’t just let yourself start a fire. You already have a fairy-like third sister-in-law, but you still want to marry Zhao into the mansion. We are both men, so why don’t you help me?”
