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

Chapter 525 Flattery

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "When you send someone to deliver it, tell Xiaodong that the Marquis is going to take my brother for a horse ride today, and if he is free, he can come and join in the fun."

Cui Ming said, "Xiaodong is so happy that even if Doctor Li locks him up in a dark room, he will find a way to escape."

Qin Yuan couldn't help laughing: "You might as well say that even if he has to crawl, he has to crawl here."

Cui Ming also laughed.

Qin Yuan instructed again: "Remember to ask someone to go to the Imperial College and ask Heng to come to the mansion to ride a horse after school. Tell him as soon as possible so that he can make arrangements early."

Qin Heng has been close to Xu Tang these days, and he is still worried, so he wants to call him over to ask him clearly.

Cui Ming agreed to everything, looking more relaxed.

Only then did Qin Yuan feel relieved and went to the meeting room to discuss matters.

Accountant Wan and others had been waiting here for a long time. Butler Han and Butler Cao both had dark circles under their eyes that extended all the way to their cheekbones. When they saw her walk in radiantly, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Yuan asked with a smile: "Why are you all gathered here waiting for me so early in the morning?"

Steward Qian smiled flatteringly as he moved a chair over for Qin Yuan, saying earnestly, "This is all about the proposal. After a few days of discussion, we can finally come up with a result for Madam."

Butler Cao immediately responded, "This... is mainly due to the regulations from Accountant Wan. We are just helping to find out the deficiencies and fill in the gaps."

Accountant Wan coughed lightly and said slowly, "Butler Cao is too modest. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have discovered many inappropriate things."

Butler Qian smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, as the saying goes, many hands make light work."

Qin Yuan glanced at the silent Butler Han with a half-smile and said, "So everyone is satisfied with this charter."

"Satisfied, satisfied."

Everyone nodded.

Butler Han said, "Master, it is a blessing for us servants that you have this plan. Besides, it is a good thing to think long-term, but we servants cannot predict what will happen in the future."

Qin Yuan nodded.

"Let's think about it first, and then give it to the old lady to see what she thinks. These days, the old lady and the elders have been discussing it, but they all have their own opinions and there is no clue. Even if we think it's good, it must be considered good by everyone in the tribe."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Butler Cao urged Accountant Wan to explain the rules to his master. Qin Yuan listened carefully and nodded repeatedly when he heard the wonderful points.

"It is indeed detailed and appropriate. If it can be done, just do it. Even if the clan thinks it is inappropriate, we can buy it ourselves first."

Butler Han agreed: "It is indeed safer to focus on two areas."

No one knows what will happen in the future. If the Gu family is destroyed, how good will the fate of those who depend on them be? If the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached?

We can only try to keep it slow and steady.

Qin Yuan nodded.

"Man proposes, God disposes. We don't need to be calculating. If our descendants can be prepared for danger in times of peace, not destroy the foundation, and add bricks and tiles, then the family can be passed down for a long time. Besides, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Only by accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, and passing on farming and reading, can we hope for a long time."

After hearing this, Butler Han nodded heavily. Although the lady is young, she thinks long-term and is not obsessed with getting the best results. This is a rare quality.

The smarter people in this world are, the more they like to use their intelligence to the extreme, leaving no room for anything else, making things difficult for themselves and others.

Just this wisdom of knowing when to stop is enough to surpass countless people.

He took a deep breath and said, "It is a blessing for our children and grandchildren to have such a plan from my wife. As the saying goes, a family that accumulates good will have more blessings. In the future, my children and grandchildren should accumulate more blessings, cherish them, read more books, be loyal to their master, and blessings will naturally come."

One of the rules proposed by Accountant Wan was that their children and grandchildren would learn to read and write at the Gu family's clan school, and would be taught skills by the elders, and the best ones would be sent to work in the various properties in the marquis' mansion.

This is a good thing that will benefit generations to come.

As long as the title of Dingbei Marquis can be passed down steadily, their descendants will not be without a place to stay. Although not as proud as the servants of the royal family, it is stable and long-lasting.

Housekeeper Cao also said, "Yes, we are not gods, so who can control what will happen in a few lifetimes? Madam, what you are thinking about is already for the welfare of your descendants. They will have to work hard to manage it in the future. Otherwise, even if you have a mountain of gold and silver, you won't be able to keep it."

Accountant Wan nodded slowly.

Seeing that everyone had something to say, Steward Qian rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "I am able to work with Madam in this life, and my children and grandchildren will have something to think about in the future. Isn't this the blessing I have cultivated in my previous life?"

Butler Cao's face twitched at the flattery.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "I am young and don't understand many things. Even if I have this idea, I still need to rely on you to do it. In fact, you are also accumulating merits for your own descendants and the descendants of everyone else."

Steward Cao said solemnly, "Madam, you are absolutely right. If this matter is done, it will be a great good deed."

Qin Yuan smiled and talked to them for a few more words before saying, "I will discuss this after I report to the Marquis and the old lady. If you have anything to do, go and do it first."

Everyone left.

Butler Qian stayed behind and said to Qin Yuan with an apologetic smile, "This old servant has something that I would like to ask Madam for mercy on."

Qin Yuan asked curiously, "What's the matter? Just tell me."

Steward Qian said, "I worked for Steward Zhang before, and never had the opportunity to show my face in front of Madam, so I didn't dare to follow Madam to buy pepper. Now, I heard that Madam wanted to collect the contributions from these people and start buying pepper, so I was tempted to follow Madam and also want to contribute. I wonder if Madam can give me a favor."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "But do you know that Hongmian gave money as a gift to her mother?"

Steward Qian was surprised, but seeing Qin Yuan's gentle expression, he quickly explained: "I saw Miss Hongmian smiling, so I asked her what good news she had. I thought that Madam was kind-hearted, and if she could agree to Miss Hongmian, she might also agree to me, so that I could also earn some money for my coffin."

Qin Yuan asked, "This is not a big deal. Even if we don't allow others to join, we will never stop you from joining. But do you know that there is no such thing as a guaranteed profit in business? I told Hongmian the same thing."

Butler Qian looked relieved and said happily, "Thank you for your grace, Madam. I am not ignorant and I know the importance of things."

After he thanked her profusely, Qin Yuan asked again, "If your contribution is not much, you can just transfer it to someone else at the account office. Why do you have to come in front of me?"

Steward Qian smiled and said, "Madam, you don't know that I have a lot of money. I have several younger brothers who are not as lucky as me and have not been able to work in the mansion. They naturally want to help their family members when something good happens. Besides, I have several sons at home. They will have to be old or young when they get married in the future. I have to think of ways to save more money now."

Qin Yuan thought about it and understood.

I guess working under Butler Zhang before didn't bring much benefit.

Besides, now that I've become a housekeeper, I'm afraid I'll have to raise my son's marriage issues again.

"Do you have a daughter-in-law that you're interested in?"
