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

Chapter 508 A rare beauty

Qin Yuan was a little surprised. The old concubine Wen did not behave like a concubine at all.

But both the old Marquis Gu and the old Madam Gu indulged them.

"Is Aunt Wen a peerless beauty?"

Lord Gu smiled and said, "Even the late Crown Prince asked me this question, but I have rarely seen her. Even my sixth brother has rarely seen her true face. Old Concubine Wen wears a veil even in the mansion. She has a graceful figure, and her fragrance wafts when she walks. Her voice is also very graceful. She must be a rare beauty."

Qin Yuan felt even more strange.

"How could she endure the hardship in the nunnery? How could she accept the precepts?"

Lord Gu smiled and said, "Shuijing Temple is not far from the family temple. The abbot receives a lot of incense money from the Marquis's Mansion every year. She has a lot of things in her hands, so her life should not be difficult."

At this time, Qin Yuan had changed into another set of red gold jewelry, dotted with bits of agate and miscellaneous jade, like a starry sky.

Even Qin Yuan, who was used to seeing good things in his previous life, couldn't help but sigh at the rich inventory of Old Madam Gu.

Lord Gu's Adam's apple rolled several times, and after a long while he said in a hoarse voice: "Forget this set. I thought about it, the headwear mother gave me is very good, why not keep it for our daughter, Yuan'er, how about I give you a few more sets of headwear?"

Cui Ming couldn't help but complain inwardly after hearing this.

I don’t know where my daughter is yet?
Qin Yuan also came to her senses at this time, and acted like a money-grubber: "Great. My husband's underwear has been embroidered, and my husband gave me a headdress, and we can have some exchanges."

Lord Gu smiled and stepped forward to pinch Qin Yuan's face, saying, "You don't suffer any loss."

Qin Yuan slapped his hand away and said angrily, "Be more respectful. I haven't even gone to the party yet."

Lord Gu snorted and went into the bathroom to wash.

Cui Ming asked: "The old lady sent so many headgear sets. If I don't choose one, will the old lady be unhappy?"

Qin Yuan squinted her eyes.

"Let her son tell her."

Not to mention, she was quite curious about what kind of headwear Lord Gu would give her.

Cui Ming also laughed.

Lord Gu couldn't help but laugh in the bathroom.

His young wife had always been cunning, and her cleverness particularly pleased him.

When he came out, all the headgear on the stage had been put away, Qin Yuan's hair had been combed, and she had changed into pajamas and was ready to go to bed.

Under the light, her long satin hair, slender neck, and skin as white as jade are all so attractive.

Lord Gu came forward and picked her up, rocking her, and said, "What have you been busy with these days? Every day when I come back, you're already asleep, and you won't let me hold you. Do you dislike me for eating mutton?"

Qin Yuan smiled and dodged his bearded face, shouting, "You came back late and you blame others. You ate mutton and naturally your body is hot at night, and I can't stand the heat. Besides, how would I know if you fell asleep?"

"You're always making excuses."

Lord Gu seemed to be hinting at something.

Qin Yuan knew that he had heard that, so she asked, "Then will you tell Mom?"

Lord Gu just looked at her and smiled.

Qin Yuan struggled, "If you don't tell me about the trouble you caused, who will tell me?"

"Okay, okay, I say, but you have to obey me tonight."

Cui Ming and the others had already left. Qin Yuan's heart was beating wildly. She held Lord Gu's face and coaxed him softly, "You should rest for a while, and come back to bother me when you're better, okay?" "How can that be possible?"

Lord Gu was a little annoyed.

Doesn't this mean he is incompetent?
When Qin Yuan opened her eyes again, it was already early morning and she almost missed breakfast.

"This bastard, I don't know where he got the energy from."

No matter how much you complain, you still have to get up.

The housekeepers and the housekeeper mothers are waiting for a reply.

Hongye came in to serve and said, "Before he left, the Marquis instructed that the mansion now has three housekeepers and a capable accountant, so it's okay for Madam to take a day off occasionally. Even His Majesty has to rest from time to time."

"You guys are so obedient," Qin Yuan complained, "If he says not to shout, then I won't shout?"

Hongye said, "In my opinion, that's enough. We haven't had much free time since we arrived. Now we have soldiers and generals, why are we still worrying so much?"

Qin Yuan said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. I've also had a little time to relax. I haven't written a poem for a long time, and I haven't had time to reply to Miss Dong's letter."

Cuiming came in and overheard what was going on, and then asked, "Why is Miss Dong writing poetry again?"

Qin Yuan said, "This time, she didn't ask me to write a poem. She started the Liuying Poetry Society in Jinling and other places. She copied the best poems of all the women and sent them to me, asking me to see if I can print them. She also said that these women are willing to pay for printing and selling them."

Cui Ming pondered and said, "Who knows, this collection of poems will be a big seller in Jinling."

Qin Yuan nodded.

"Why?" Hongye was puzzled.

Cui Ming said, "The Imperial College has been holding poetry competitions for a long time, but the women in the capital have not yet formed a poetry club. Most of the poets are men. Even our young lady mixed in with them under a pseudonym. But the women in Jinling can gather together for a poetry club. First, Miss Dong is capable, and second, the customs in Jinling are different from those in the capital."

“What does this have to do with poetry books selling well?”

"You forgot that the previous collection of poems by Sixth Master was collected by ladies in the boudoir because of its elegant printing. Shen Changle was grinning from ear to ear. This collection of poems was written by a woman, so naturally women would like to collect it more. Moreover, southern women are exquisite and particular, and their makeup fashion will spread to the north in no time. If they admire the poetry collection, naturally the whole country will follow suit."

Qin Yuan smiled and nodded.

"You are right. I am afraid Shen Changle has not thought of this yet. Besides, there are not many poetry collections by women, and even fewer good ones. Maybe there are many men who collect them."

Cui Ming's eyes lit up and she said, "I have never thought of what you are talking about."

Qin Yuan said, "Then let's ask Shen Changle to come and discuss this matter. Cuiming, you can get involved. I will write two more poems in the name of Master Nantang and include them in the collection to make it more impressive."

Hongye clapped her hands and said, "This is good, this is good. I heard that many women are looking for Mr. Nantang. If it is included in the collection, it will naturally sell well."

Cui Ming was a little hesitant.

"Well, well, I don't really understand poetry."

Hongye spat, "You usually think I'm stupid, but today it's your turn. If you have anything to say, just tell the young lady. Practice makes perfect. Look, Shen Changle is now an expert."

Cui Ming nodded after a while and said, "Then I'll try. If I can't do it well, please don't blame me, Miss."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "You are just too cautious. It would be great if you and Hongye could get along with each other."

After breakfast.

Qin Yuan was talking to Shen Changle casually when Gu Shiliu came over and said, "The Marquis asked me to find these headgear from the storehouse for Madam to choose from."

Hongye and Cuiming both came over to watch.

After opening them one by one, everyone's faces changed.
