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

Chapter 547 Faint
Gu Baozhu found it funny and started to chuckle.

"Yes, Third Sister-in-law must not have expected that there would be the best sister-in-law in the world waiting for you here."

Seeing her being so silly and playful, Hongye couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Why are you talking about marriage? I'm young and don't know much. If you talk about marriage... this is a human relationship. Except for nuns and self-combed girls, whose daughters don't get married? Even the palace maids have to be released when they reach a certain age. Do you know why? It's because the founding emperor was worried that the imbalance of yin and yang would cause resentment and hinder the harmony of nature, so he set the palace rules early. If a family in the folks has a daughter who doesn't get married when she reaches a certain age, the government will fine her. I tell you, this is still good. After the war, the population is declining. Girls have to get married at the age of thirteen. If they don't get married when they grow one year older, the tax will be much higher. If they don't get married at the age of twenty, their families will go to the government office to be beaten. This has been managed for generations. Our dynasty has a dense population and the people are rich, so we don't care."

Gu Baozhu shuddered.

"Thirteen years old..."

She's almost there.

Hongye said, "Miss Qi doesn't want to get married now, but you will want to get married when you grow up. Otherwise, it will be boring when everyone else gets married and you are the only one who doesn't. It will be even more boring when everyone else has children and grandchildren and you are the only one who doesn't."

Gu Baozhu lowered her head and thought about it, then said, "Then I really have no choice but to look for a husband. It would be better to find a man to marry into my family."

Hongye opened her mouth in shock. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Qin Yuan shaking her head at her, so she quickly closed her mouth.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Haven't you heard the saying, 'Everything will work out when the time comes'? Why think about it now? You'll know when the time comes. The matchmaker has tied the red thread, so if it's there, it's there, and if it's not there, it's not there."

Gu Baozhu smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law is right. It's better to eat something delicious than to think about these things."

Qin Yuan asked: "Are you coming to my place for dinner again?"

The voice has not yet finished.

Lord Gu's voice rang out from outside, "Gu Baozhu, why don't you go and talk to mother? You left after the Mid-Autumn Festival, why don't you spend more time with mother? Why do you always come to my place?"

It's obvious that he doesn't want to endure it anymore.

Gu Baozhu stood up and walked out, annoyed, "Are you tired of me? You are so stingy that you don't even want to give your own sister a meal. What kind of brother is this? You are not even a dog! I will never miss you when I go to Baihe Academy."

Lord Gu refused to give in: "It's best if you don't want to. Remember what you said. It's best not to come back. That would be shameful."

Gu Baozhu became even angrier, and she shouted as she walked, "Where's Sixteen? Where's Sixteen? This is so infuriating. I need to have a good talk with Sixteen and get him to leave as soon as possible. If we stay here any longer, we'll be despised to death."

Qin Yuan was both angry and amused, and said to Lord Gu who strode in, "Why are you so angry with her?"

Lord Gu said sternly, "Otherwise, you keep coming to my place, and I can't even talk to you alone."

This sentence made Qin Yuan's face turn red again, and she whispered, "We have plenty of time to talk. Baozhu will be gone for two years, and she is still young. You should let her go."

Lord Gu snorted arrogantly and said nothing more.

Hongye hurriedly brought the tea, and Lord Gu took it and drank it all. Qin Yuan asked softly, "Do you want to change clothes?"

Lord Gu finally smiled and said, "No, I have to go out after dinner."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "So you came back specially to have dinner with me. It's all my fault. I didn't appreciate your kindness."

Lord Gu blushed slightly, and said awkwardly: "Not really, I just thought that the food at home is delicious, and I am fast on my feet, so it won't take much effort."

Hongye couldn't help but smile and went out.

Lord Gu was surprised, "Why is she not avoiding me today? She was like a mouse seeing a cat before."

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "It's all for Sixteen."

Lord Gu glanced at Qin Yuan. Qin Yuan asked, "What's wrong with Sixteen? It seems like he's avoiding Hongye."

Lord Gu hesitated to speak.

Qin Yuan frowned, and Lord Gu hurriedly said, "It's not a big deal. I have something to do here, so I sent him out to do something."

He lowered his voice and said, "This one here is not sixteen, so it's natural to avoid the red leaves."

Qin Yuan was shocked.

Lord Gu said, "Don't tell anyone. Only the King of Qi and I know about this."

Well, now she knows one more thing.

Qin Yuan asked: "Then this..."

Lord Gu said, "He shaved his eyebrows to hide his identity. You have seen this man before. He is the King of Qi's man."

"Oh," Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment, unable to recall having seen anyone around King Qi who looked like Gu Shiliu, so she said helplessly, "Shiliu will follow Baozhu to the White Crane Academy after the festival, so Hongye will have no chance to have a good talk with Shiliu."

Lord Gu smiled and said, "Baozhu wants this person, not Sixteen. Sixteen will be back after finishing his work."

Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "You guys are so secretive, will Baozhu be angry if she knows?"

"She didn't recognize the man, so who can she blame? This man's martial arts are comparable to Sixteen's, and he has skills that Sixteen doesn't know. He also has some connection with Baozhu, so it's okay."

Only then did Qin Yuan feel relieved.

Lord Gu said, "Don't tell Hongye about this. She has a big mouth and she shows everything on her face."

Qin Yuan thought about it and understood. Lord Gu went to so much trouble for other reasons, but he also wanted to guard against spies in the mansion, so he said, "Okay. I won't tell her."

As he was speaking, Hongye walked in, followed by a row of little girls holding vegetable boxes. Lord Gu pinched Qin Yuan's fingers, and the two smiled at each other.

Seeing this, Hongye curled her lips, put the food in place, and then led everyone out.

outside room.

Hongye said to Cuiming sourly, "I don't know what the young lady and the marquis are talking about. When they saw me come in, they were secretly making small movements and laughing secretly."

Cui Ming smiled and said, "Now you are talking about others, when you and Sixteen are married, I don't know what the situation will be like."

"Oh..." Hongye sighed slowly, full of sorrow.

The little girl who was eating with them wanted to talk but hesitated. Her face turned red. Finally, she put down her chopsticks and asked in confusion, "Sister Hongye said that she wanted to marry Gu Shiliu? Why did I hear that Hongmian's family wanted to get engaged to Gu Shiliu's family?"

The little girl's words were like a thunderclap, which made Hongye dizzy.

"Who did you hear that from?"

Hongye's voice suddenly became sharp, and the pitch was a few centimeters higher.

The little girl was so frightened that she was shaking. She said in a trembling voice, "Sister Hongye, my godmother's family is next door to Gu Shiliu's family. I heard about this incident. We met at the side door today and chatted for a while. I heard what she said."

Cui Ming quickly put her arm around the little girl's shoulders and consoled her, "Your sister Hongye wasn't scolding you. She just overheard it and lost her composure."

The little girl's eyes were red, and she spoke with a strong nasal tone, "Sister Cuiming, I know. Sister Hongye taught us very hard, so I said it out."
