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

Chapter 543 Which Card
"Forget it, forget it. I don't expect her to study for a degree. I just want her to go to Jiangnan to avoid the limelight." Madam Gu said dejectedly, "She has never left me since she was a kitten, and now she's been gone for two years... People say that girls are delicate guests, and the days at their parents' home are the happiest and freest days of their lives. I have never been willing to restrict her, but now I have to set new rules. It hurts to see her."

Rong Mama thought for a moment and said, "Madam, everyone has gone through this. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Let's pray for Miss Seven in front of the Bodhisattva and accumulate more blessings for her."

"Yes, everyone has their own destiny. There is nothing I can do."

Wutong Court.

Just as the maids put the food on the table, Gu Baozhu rushed in. Seeing the simple food on the table, she said, "Third sister-in-law, my third brother is back, so I'm afraid we need to ask people to prepare more food. I think they are very tired on this trip, and Gu Shiliu has become so thin that he looks unrecognizable."

Before he finished speaking, Hongye asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened to Sixteen?"

Gu Baozhu said jokingly, "You girl, you are not worried about the Marquis, but you are worried about Sixteen."

Hongye blushed and said shyly, "Seventh Miss always knows how to tease people."

Gu Baozhu said: "Your Sixteen is fine, but he is very thin."

Hongye said distressedly, "Miss, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare more food and boil some hot water."

Qin Yuan nodded in response.

Gu Baozhu said hurriedly, "I want to eat at Third Sister-in-law's place, too. I've been running around for half a day and I'm so hungry that I can eat half a cow."

Hongye smiled and went to the small kitchen to instruct the cook.

Mo Zhu came up again and covered the food with gauze.

Qin Yuan asked: "Why haven't I heard any news? Is your third brother in the upper room now?"

Gu Baozhu said, "They should still be there. Third brother and Sixteenth brother didn't even change their clothes. They were all wrinkled, unshaven, and very dirty. Don't you think Third brother is strange? He came back without changing his clothes and went to find my mother, saying that he wanted to send me to Baihe Academy to study."

Hearing that Gu Jinghui was back, Qin Yuan felt relieved and was in the mood to tease Gu Baozhu, so she asked, "You agreed?"

Gu Baozhu stiffened her neck and said, "I didn't want to agree at first. My third sister-in-law knows that I get a headache when I study, but my mother couldn't bear to let me go, so she wanted me to go. I'm afraid there must be other reasons. My mother and my third brother won't harm me. In order to let me go, my mother agreed to let me find a husband after I come back."

Hearing this, Qin Yuan frowned and said, "You are going on a long journey, I should prepare a feast to see you off. How long will it take for you to come back? When will you set off?"

Gu Baozhu said, "I have promised Qin Heng that I will go play football on the Mid-Autumn Festival. How can I go back on my word? We have decided to leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Third brother said he wants to stay there for two years."

Qin Yuan said: "Then I have to prepare some food and supplies for you, so that you won't be unaccustomed to the food and supplies there and miss the capital."

"I'm not the type to be fussy. Didn't Mr. Songshan say that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles? I'm going there to broaden my horizons, so how could I miss the capital?" Gu Baozhu gestured and said, "It's just that I will miss my brother and sister-in-law, my mother, and my nephews. Well, I'm afraid I'll miss the dishes that Xiu Niang cooked, too. But as long as my mother gives me enough money, I can also enjoy the delicacies of Jiangnan."

Qin Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

Gu Baozhu asked again, "Third brother said that he had a hard time helping me get a place in Baihe Academy, and he asked Mr. Songshan for help. Is this Baihe Academy very famous? Third sister-in-law, do you know anything about it?"

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "White Crane Academy is a famous academy in Jiangnan. It was opened by a high-ranking official after he resigned from his post. It has cultivated many talented people. However, these people rarely serve as officials in the court. When they have nothing to do, they like to gather together to talk and comment on current affairs. They have a certain influence among the scholars. Jiangnan is rich and has many people and benefits, so many wealthy families send their children to study and learn, not for fame, but just to make friends with some outstanding people."

The Baihe Academy was quite prestigious in Jiangnan, and later had a great influence on the government, and was even able to stir up trouble in the court with the help of public opinion.

Mr. Songshan and the dean of Baihe Academy were old friends, so all he had to do to get Gu Baozhu in was write a letter.

Gu Baozhu was amazed: "There is actually such an academy in this world. I'd like to go and take a look."

Qin Yuan smiled. After entering the White Crane Academy, I'm afraid the future life will not be as good as Gu Baozhu imagined.

“Behave yourself when you get there and don’t cause any trouble,” Gu Jinghui’s voice came in before he even entered.

"I know, third brother."

Gu Baozhu pouted and said, "You make me sound like a troublemaker."

Qin Yuan hurriedly stood up and went to greet him, just in time to see Gu Jinghui coming in through the curtain in two steps.

"lady."

"Husband."

The two looked at each other and had a lot to say, but Gu Baozhu was sitting there and couldn't say anything.

Qin Yuan said angrily, "Why haven't you changed your clothes yet? Fortunately, my sister came over and told me that she has asked someone to prepare hot water. You can go to the bathroom and take a shower."

Gu Jinghui said, “I was too busy to come here. I wanted to wash up in the study before coming here, but I was worried that you would eat alone, so I hurried over.”

If Old Madam Gu heard what he said, she would definitely spit at him - he was so concerned about his daughter-in-law's meal, why didn't he think about his mother at all?

He really forgot his mother after he got a wife.

Qin Yuan smiled, "Sister Seven, come and have dinner with me. You two have big appetites, so I've asked the kitchen to prepare it. Would Sixteen like to eat here too?"

Gu Jinghui said, “Sixteen has gone to the outer study room, don’t worry about him.”

Then he glanced at Gu Baozhu who was in the way and said, "Then I'll go to the clean room to wash up first."

Gu Baozhu, who had no idea that her brother disliked her, was talking happily with Qin Yuan, laughing from time to time, and she was becoming less and less like a girl.

"You said the Marquis gave Gu Shiliu to you?"

Qin Yuan was shocked.

Gu Baozhu nodded heavily, "Yes, I asked my third brother for Sixteen, and Sixteen agreed. My third brother also asked me to bring Sixteen with me when I go to Baihe Academy."

Hongye had just returned from outside when she heard the news and asked loudly, "Why, Sixteen is also going to White Crane Academy with Seventh Miss?"

Gu Baozhu said with a smile: "Yes, are you waiting for Sixteen here, or are you going with Sixteen?"

Hongye stamped her feet and said, "Miss Qi loves to make fun of people. Who am I to deserve this?"

Gu Baozhu smiled and said, "I know everything about you and Sixteen, and you're trying to hide it from me."

"We have nothing," Hongye said through gritted teeth.

Qin Yuan saw that things were not going well, so she quickly pulled Gu Baozhu aside to talk about something else. When Lord Gu came out after changing into his casual clothes, the table was already filled with new dishes from the kitchenette.

Gu Baozhu sighed with satisfaction: "Third sister-in-law is so thoughtful, these are all my favorite dishes."
