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

Chapter 545 Asking for Leave to See You
Qin Yuan felt a little strange and wanted to ask, but was afraid of disturbing Lord Gu, so she got up and left the inner room. When she reached the door, she asked softly, "Who is crying?"

The little maid said with some embarrassment: "It's Sister Hongye."

"What's going on?" Qin Yuan asked hurriedly, "Why don't you drag her in quickly? Forget it, just say I have something to ask her. I have asked her several times. When you find her, tell her to go to the study to find me."

Qin Yuan didn't have to wait long before Hong Ye came into the study room with red and swollen eyes. She asked in a heavy nasal voice, "Miss, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"You come closer."

Hongye followed his instructions and took a few steps closer.

Qin Yuan sighed softly, "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying for no reason? I didn't see you just now, but did you go to the front yard to look for Sixteen?"

Before she could finish her words, Hongye sobbed: "Miss, Miss, what does he, what does he mean by this..."

In her previous life, Hongye had always been with her and had never married. Qin Yuan was determined to settle her down and thought that Sixteen was a good person, but she didn't expect that Hongye would suffer injustice.

Qin Yuan stood up to wipe her tears and coaxed her: "If he has done anything to let you down, just tell me and I will help you vent your anger."

Hongye stopped crying, opened her tearful eyes and looked at Qin Yuan and said, "Miss is the best to me. But Sixteen...he didn't do anything to let me down."

"Then why are you crying?"

Qin Yuan was puzzled.

Hongye said, "He didn't even think of me before he decided to accompany Miss Seven to the White Crane Academy... I just went to find him to ask him about it, but he avoided me."

Qin Yuan suddenly realized: "So you are in a hurry to get married?"

Hongye said angrily, "I told Miss all my worries, but Miss teased me."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "The Marquis has gone to bed now, I'm afraid Sixteen is even more tired. Since the matter has been decided, there is no need to rush. You can ask him tomorrow. If you can't bring yourself to ask, I will call him over tomorrow to ask him what his plan is."

After this comfort, Hongye finally calmed down a little.

"I don't know why, but I feel sad just thinking about it. Although I know that the Marquis arranged this because he relies on Sixteen, I always feel that I don't mean much to Sixteen, but I think highly of him. The more I think about it, the sadder I feel."

Qin Yuan felt distressed and amused at the same time, so she said, "You are like this before you even get married. I'm afraid that after you get married, you won't have me and Cui Ming in your heart anymore."

Hongye said hurriedly: "How is this possible? I have always had Miss and Cuiming in my heart. Gu Shiliu can only be ranked third."

Qin Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hongye then realized that she was being teased, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Miss, why are you like this?"

Qin Yuan said, "Okay, stop crying. It will make you look so ugly if others see you. How can you convince others when you go out?"

Hongye snorted and said, "I don't care what they think. I just do what I should do. Everything is in order. I just give orders and supervise them strictly. There are rewards and punishments. They will obey even if they don't like it."

Qin Yuan smiled and nodded: "You have made a lot of progress in this period of time."

"Really?" Hongye forgot about her worries.

"Really." Qin Yuan said, "In the future, our Hongye will definitely be the most powerful housekeeper in the Marquis' Mansion, the kind that has the final say."

Hongye's eyes lit up and she said, "That's really impressive."

Qin Yuan coaxed him: "You must work hard, don't cry over a little thing." "That won't happen." Hongye smiled and said: "You can lose to others but never to the battle."

Qin Yuan nodded approvingly.

The red leaves are still very tender now, but they will bloom with all their splendor in time.

What is a Gu Shiliu?
If it is not good for the red leaves, just change it.

Lord Gu has so many useful people under his command, is it possible that he can’t find a suitable one?
With this in mind, Qin Yuan said, "Hurry up and make a list. Baozhu is going to the White Crane Academy, so we need to prepare some food, clothing and other expenses... In addition, there are travel expenses. We need to arrange for things when we get to the academy... I think we should prepare them together with the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts. After the festival, they will set off."

This matter is extremely complicated and challenging.

Hongye said, "Miss, don't worry. I will definitely make sure everything is done properly. I will make sure they have a safe journey and a comfortable life at the White Crane Academy."

Qin Yuan nodded, "If you have any questions, you can ask Sixteen."

Hongye responded.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Yuan said, "You should go and rest as well. You have been worried about them for the past two days, but now you can finally put it aside. Only after a good rest can you have the energy to work. Hongmian will be on guard tonight."

Hongye retreated gratefully.

When Hongmian came in to serve, she was a little dazed. Qin Yuan asked, "What's on your mind?"

Hongmian said, "My mother sent someone to tell me that she wants to find a marriage for me and asked me to go back to see the bride when I have time. I think it's almost the holidays and I'm worried that I won't be able to handle it."

Qin Yuan was surprised: "Are you going to settle the marriage so early?"

Hong Mian lowered her head and smiled, "The two families are old acquaintances, and they just wanted to ask a matchmaker to go through the formalities. Once they have decided, they will not rush into the marriage."

The implication is that he has to stay in Wutong Garden and work.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "That's good. I was thinking that you would be very useful. If nothing goes wrong, your monthly allowance will be increased after the New Year. If you go out and get married, you won't need it."

Hong Mian said happily: "Madam is the best at employing people. She is willing to give me this opportunity. It is really a great fortune for me. I will work hard and repay my master."

Qin Yuan said: "You are also responsible for your efforts. Hongye has repeatedly praised you in front of me. I was a little hesitant at first, fearing that you were young and would not be steady in your work."

Hong Mian lowered her head and whispered, "Sister Hongye is good, but the master must listen to her. Sister Hongye and Sister Cuiming are deeply trusted by the master. I should learn more from them so that I can share the master's worries in the future."

Qin Yuan understood that Hongmian was not willing to accept Hongye's favor, but she had no choice but to say, "You are smart, you are a family child, and you get along well with Hongye. Naturally, I am willing to use you. Just get along well with Hongye and Cuiming in the future."

Hong Mian immediately said, "My two sisters have followed Madam for many years. They are all seniors to me. I have much to learn."

Qin Yuan promised Hongmian to leave the house the next day and then rested.

Nothing happened that night. Qin Yuan woke up the next morning and found Lord Gu still sleeping soundly.

Qin Yuan sighed, "It can be seen that this trip is exhausting."

Hongye heard the noise and came in to serve. Qin Yuan was relieved to see that she was normal.

Hongye asked, "Why did Hongmian ask for leave and say that the young lady had agreed to it. She was supposed to count the gold and silver utensils for the festival today. If she leaves, it will be very tiring for us. This matter was agreed by her and the housekeepers."
