Chapter 533 Insufficient people
Qin Heng then realized what a powerful person he had offended, and sighed, "I really admire you. Can't you just be the seventh young lady of the high and mighty Dingbei Marquis's Mansion? Why do you have to get involved?"

"Then why don't you just be a good student at the Imperial College?" Gu Baozhu snorted coldly, "I'm obviously better at fighting than you, and I'm older than you, so why can you get involved but I can't?"

Qin Heng opened his mouth to speak, but was speechless.

The boudoir training that works for most women is useless to Gu Baozhu. If she says it, she might even get beaten.

But it would be really frustrating if I didn't say it.

Qin Heng thought angrily, a good man does not fight with a woman.

It’s not that I can’t fight, I just don’t want to fight.

Gu Baozhu naturally had no idea what he was thinking, so she just shook her fist and said, "If you agree, you'll have one more accomplice, and if you don't agree, you'll have one more enemy. Just say whether you agree or not, and don't hesitate."

Qin Heng wanted to cry but had no tears. He choked and said, "Aunt, do I have any choice? Of course I agreed."

Gu Baozhu tilted her head, her eyebrows slightly raised: "You are wrong, I am not the kind of person who forces you to do things. I have given you a choice in advance."

"Okay, whatever you say is what it is. You win people over with your virtue, I understand."

Qin Heng had lost the strength to refute.

Instead of wasting time on tangling with Gu Baozhu, you might as well take a few breaths.

Gu Baozhu said with satisfaction: "Okay, it's settled. I will go to the Imperial College to look for you tomorrow. You should think of an excuse tonight and see how to introduce me to them."

"tomorrow?"

Qin Heng couldn't help but jump up and down again.

"Of course. Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Don't you know that?"

Gu Baozhu looked at Qin Heng disapprovingly, "No wonder you've been following Xu Tang for so long and haven't found out anything, and you've made your sister worry for no reason."

Qin Heng lowered his head, unwilling to accept the defeat but unable to refute. He said in a low voice: "Okay, I will go play football with them tomorrow. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, each village will hold a Cuju competition. I will use this as an excuse to play with them."

Gu Baozhu nodded with satisfaction, patted his left shoulder encouragingly, and said, "See you tomorrow, and then you can just follow my instructions. Don't worry, with me here, you and Brother Qin will be fine. Also, be happy, or your third sister-in-law will find out later."

Qin Heng's thighs went weak and he almost fell to his knees. He grinned and said, "...Okay..."

Seeing the two people walking in with smiles on their faces, Qin Yuan said to Xiaodong, "Your two big customers are here."

Xiaodong smiled and said, "Speaking of this, I remembered something. Master was still talking about the stick injury ointment today and asked me to come and ask about it. I almost forgot about it."

Qin Yuan snorted and said, "Why doesn't he come and ask himself?"

Xiaodong shook his head and chuckled, "I don't know. Master saw someone from the Marquis' Mansion delivering something today, and he asked me to ride a horse, saying that the Marquis' Mansion was really annoying. Master has been restless these past few days, and when I asked him about it, he scolded me, saying that I shouldn't bother with other people's affairs. I can only let him worry about it himself, it's not that I don't want to be a caring little apprentice."

Qin Yuan laughed inwardly, knowing that Doctor Li was a little exhausted, but she remained calm and said, "How can I know what he is thinking? Maybe he is hesitant and wondering whether he should say some things."

Xiao Dong was surprised and said, "What are you talking about? You made my master suffer like this. The affairs of adults are really complicated."

Qin Yuan said: "Maybe Master is overthinking it."

Xiaodong blinked and said, "I'll go back and talk to Master, and ask him to think in a simple way." Qin Yuan laughed and said, "Go back and tell Master that the Marquis is busy with the imperial inspection and there are other things in the mansion that he can't take care of for the time being. The Marquis has made up his mind about this matter, and no one can change it."

Xiaodong said happily: "Master said that if we can settle down, he will give me candied pork elbow to eat, I am craving for it."

Before Qin Yuan could say anything, Kang Ge'er said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? The dishes cooked by Xiuniang in the upper room are delicious. If you had told me when you came, we would have been able to eat them by now."

Qin Yuan ordered Hong Mian: "Go, ask the cook to make a few more Suzhou dishes, and make another pot of pork elbows in rock sugar. And another pot of five-spice pig's trotters to be sent to Renhetang. If there are any lamb's trotters left, cook another pot of spicy lamb's trotters. This is delicious."

Xiaodong smiled from ear to ear and nodded repeatedly.

Hongmian also went down with a smile.

Qin Heng came over quickly and said, "Big sister, give me one too. I feel uncomfortable riding a horse and can hardly walk."

Gu Baozhu added, "Yes, Third Sister-in-law. Heng'er's legs were worn out by riding a horse today, and he also has to play Cuju every day, which hurts his legs. What he eats will replenish his body. This is exactly what he needs."

Xiaodong originally had a sympathetic look on his face and was planning to tell Qin Heng how to relieve the pain and fatigue, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Qin Heng ignored him and just stared at Qin Yuan and said coquettishly: "Big sister, please love me too."

Qin Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Okay, it's just a few dishes, no big deal. Cuiming, go tell the kitchen to make another portion, add some wine, melons and vegetables, and make two banquets, one for each of Renhe Hall and Jijiu Mansion."

Since it is a free banquet, naturally everything is included.

Qin Heng smiled and said, "My eldest sister still loves me. I haven't had a feast at home for a long time. Mom is always quarreling with Dad about my second sister and her husband."

Qin Yuan just said "oh" and didn't say anything.

Qin Heng said to himself, "My second brother-in-law is just greedy. He has already selected two poems to be included in the Firefly Collection, but he is still not satisfied. He asked my second sister to come home and plead for me, saying that he wants to add a few more poems. You also know that my father can't stand such things. He has already made an exception for my second sister and refused it immediately. My second sister cried and made a fuss at home, making everyone unhappy."

Qin Yuan sneered, "That's what I told you. Otherwise, why would I have so much to say to Xu Tang? You know, flies don't bite seamless eggs. Your second brother-in-law, you better be careful in the future."

His eyes swept towards Qin Siyuan intentionally or unintentionally.

Qin Heng sighed, "Mother said that my second sister married my second brother-in-law just to torture her."

Qin Yuan didn't say anything, just leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.

Qin Wan had managed to secure this marriage.

Qin Heng also thought of this. He had spoken up for Qin Wan in the past, so he immediately stopped talking in dismay.

Fortunately, this awkward moment was quickly broken by Qin Siyuan.

Qin Siyuan asked: "Why didn't I see Master Liu today?"

Qin Yuan also found it strange.

Logically, when he heard that Qin Siyuan had arrived, Mr. Gu Liu should have come as well.

Gu Baozhu, who had been listening to the excitement for a long time, said, "My sixth brother has been busy these past two days arranging illustrations for the female volume of Liuying Collection, hanging out with a bunch of painters. I'm afraid he's tired and still sleeping now."
