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

Chapter 79 Lord Gu invites her to the bamboo forest
Qin Yuan asked: "My husband, what do you think of this cold noodle?"

Gu Jinghui said: “Not bad.”

Qin Yuan said, "This is what my mother's family loves to make in the summer. What do you think if I send some to the upper room?"

Gu Jinghui felt a little annoyed after hearing this: "I forgot that mother also likes to try new things. Yuan'er is really considerate."

With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?

Hey!
All that's missing is a few kids surrounding him.

Lord Gu's eyes turned more and more direct and fiery as he looked at his young wife.

Qin Yuan instructed Cui Ming, "Tell the maid to take some cold noodles to the upper room, and let the old lady and Rong Mama taste them, and tell them that it was ordered by the Marquis."

Hearing this, Cui Ming felt a little nervous and asked, "Will the old lady be able to appreciate it?"

Lord Gu said, "My mother always likes to try new things, so just send it over. There are many people in the upper room, and even if my mother is worried about eating less at night, she will share it with others so that it won't be wasted."

Cui Ming was relieved and said, "Let me go, I have already finished eating."

Qin Yuan said: "Okay, I will feel more at ease if you go."

Although Cuiming is not as talkative as Hongye, she is always cautious in what she says and does, so she shouldn't make any mistakes.

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Send more over. The lemon drink you made last time was also very delicious. It's appetizing. The two children might eat more."

Gu Jinghui was even more satisfied and couldn't help thinking to himself, Yuan'er's heart is really full of me. Although those two children are ignorant, she doesn't care for my sake and even sends them food and drinks.

Can Admiral Jin have such a good wife?

If something goes well tonight, maybe we'll be able to have a baby after October.

A child who looks like him and Qin Yuan.

Gu Jinghui's eyes sparkled, full of anticipation.

After Qin Yuan finished giving the order, she turned around and saw Lord Gu staring at the bowl of soup in front of him with a smile on his face. His eyes were as black and bright as gems, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

Qin Yuan ignored him and just ate quietly.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.

After finishing the meal sweetly, Qin Yuan sat comfortably under the window, sipping the fragrant tea slowly and listening carefully to the chirping of insects outside. Hongye came in to serve her and saw Lord Gu looking at his young lady, who was looking out the window, wondering what she was thinking.

Hongye: "..."

Qin Yuan saw her coming in and said with a smile, "The sound of insects is nice."

The courtyard of the marquis's mansion is big, so there are more insects.

Gu Jinghui pricked up his ears and listened.

Hongye asked, "Could it be that Madam remembered a line of poetry?"

Qin Yuan nodded: "Yang Wanli's line 'In the bamboo forest, where the trees are dense and the insects are chirping, there is sometimes a slight chill that is not the wind. ' is very appropriate for the scene. I think the chirping of insects in the bamboo forest in the mansion should be more pleasant than here."

If the couple had not opened up the conversation before, Gu Jinghui would have felt inferior and would not dare to join in the conversation. But today was different. He could not help but interrupt and said, “Sixth brother also raises a lot of crickets. He has loved playing with crickets since he was a child. He often challenges others to fight crickets, but he always loses. If father finds out, he will give him a good beating.”

Qin Yuan: “…”

She thought for a moment and said, "Sixth Master and my brothers have similar hobbies. Heng Ge'er likes to fight crickets behind the adults' backs. Once, he was caught gambling by our father and was punished by the family law. He had to lie in bed for several days before he stopped being so stubborn."

Gu Jinghui was happy, and he was busy racking his brains to think of something interesting.

Qin Yuan changed the subject and asked him, "When will you report to the camp tomorrow?"

Lord Gu couldn't help but sigh, "We have to go so early in the morning." His narrow eyes glanced at Qin Yuan seemingly inadvertently, wanting to see if Qin Yuan could bear to leave him.

Qin Yuan said, "My husband, do you have anything to say to mother and Rong Madam? I'm afraid you need to comfort the two children. I heard from Rong Madam that mother has raised the two children in the upper room so that Madam Zhao can rest and recuperate."

Lord Gu glanced at Qin Yuan and said, "Would you like to come with me? We can also go to the bamboo forest to listen to the chirping of insects?"

Hearing this, Qin Yuan was stunned.

Her poetic mood was disturbed by Lord Gu, so she wanted to send him to the old lady and explain everything that needed to be said. He would be gone for about ten days, and she didn't know when Gu Shiliu would come back. If Madam Zhao and her son made any more trouble, she would not have to care.

I didn't expect that Lord Gu was still thinking about the chirping of insects in the bamboo forest that she mentioned.

This is someone who takes what she says to heart.

Qin Yuan smiled gently and said, "My dear, the shopkeepers of several shops just sent over their account books this afternoon. They are several thick books. You also need to give instructions to those two children. It's better for me not to go."

It’s a pity for Lord Gu.

He couldn't say what he regretted, but he was unwilling to go alone and leave his little wife here to settle accounts.

"Do you want me to give you the accounting office in the mansion?"

Qin Yuan's smile grew wider, and she said, "No need for that. Husband, go quickly. I have something to discuss with you when you come back."

Lord Gu couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently stroke Qin Yuan's cheek. His eyebrows and eyes softened and he said, "Okay, wait for me."

After he left, Hongye looked at Qin Yuan and just smiled.

Qin Yuan said, "Do you have anything important to do? If not, bring today's account books. You have to learn how to read account books. The account books in the tea room are more trivial than those in the sewing room."

Hongye cried out in pain, and with drooped shoulders, went to the outer room to find Cuiming to get the account book.

Cui Mingfang brought back the cold noodles with a smile on her face.

Seeing this, Hongye asked, "What reward did you get?"

Cui Ming nodded, stretched out her hand and showed the bracelet on her hand to Hongye. It was a jade bracelet with ordinary patterns, but it was also worth dozens of taels of silver.

Hongye said enviously, "It's a coincidence that you caught up."

Cui Ming took the account book into the inner room, put it on the table, and showed the bracelet to Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan asked with a smile: "Why did the old lady reward you with these?"

Hongye was also very curious and looked at Cuiming eagerly.

Cuiming said, "When I went to the upper room, I happened to see the old lady coaxing the two children to eat. They were young and a little noisy, especially Yujie, who wanted to see Zhao Niangzi one moment and the Marquis the next, and just didn't want to eat properly. I happened to send cold noodles and drinks over, and the two children had never eaten them before, so they ate them with relish. When the old lady heard that the Marquis had sent them especially for her, she was so happy that she rewarded them."

Hongye sighed enviously and said, "Why don't I have this luck?"

Qin Yuan glanced at her and said with a smile, "If you meet those two kids, I don't know what nonsense you will say. Even if you don't say it, you won't be able to hide it on your face. That's why I didn't ask you to go."

Cui Ming pursed her lips and smiled.

Hongye also knew that what Qin Yuan said was right, but she couldn't help but grumble, "It's okay that I don't have any money, but I have to be ridiculed by the young lady like this. It's really not pleasant at all."

Qin Yuan said angrily: "Hurry up and learn how to read the accounts from me. If you sort out the account book of the tea room, I will reward you."

Hongye was very talented in accounting in her previous life. With a little guidance, she could get the hang of it. This opportunity was just right for her. Qin Yuan's words immediately inspired Ye, and she followed Qin Yuan carefully to look at the account book under the lamp.

Cuiming also followed suit, but she was not as quick as Hongye and could only figure it out slowly while holding the account book.

Gu Jinghui hadn't returned for more than an hour. Hongye was a little anxious, so she asked, "Miss, are you going to wait for your son-in-law to go to bed?"
