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

Chapter 86: A Hero's Word is as Good as Gold
Qin Heng heard it and immediately said, "Okay."

He likes his eldest brother-in-law the most, and he will visit him often in the future. It is proper courtesy to greet the old lady.

Then he became a little nervous again and said, "Isn't my outfit shabby?"

Qin Jijiu did not allow him to worry about his clothes. Qin Heng wore school clothes in the Imperial College and dressed maturely and simply when he returned home. When he saw the wealth of the Marquis' Mansion, he couldn't help but feel a little short of breath.

Qin Yuan said: "It's okay, the old lady is very generous and likes sweet-talking juniors. If you speak sweetly, I guarantee that she will give you more gifts when you go there."

"Am I such a short-sighted person?"

Qin Heng said unhappily.

Qin Yuan said: "You are not, I am, okay."

The two argued for a few words, and Qin Heng was no longer worried. He followed Qin Yuan obediently to the upper room, and kept sighing along the way, "The Marquis's Mansion is so big, the Marquis's Mansion is so luxurious."

Fortunately, Qin Heng was not a complete failure and did not say anything like what would happen if the second sister married into the family.

Qin Yuan just smiled.

When they arrived at the upper room, Qin Yuan and Qin Heng stood outside the courtyard. Xiao Hong came out with her pigtails swinging happily and asked with a smile, "Madam, is the person next to you the young master of your family?"

"He is my younger brother, and he is currently studying in the outer dormitory of the Imperial College."

Xiao Hong quickly greeted him and whispered, "The old lady is coaxing Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er in the room."

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "Are you getting along well with them?"

"It's okay. Aunt Rong asked me to tell them some human stories. The Marquis came yesterday and told them some things about Mr. Pang."

The person Pang Da was referring to was the biological father of the two children.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Good boy, thank you and Rong Mama for your hard work."

Qin Heng followed all the way without saying a word, just listening quietly.

Xiao Hong said, "Sister Zihe from Fengxuan Pavilion also comes to Rong Mama's place every day to sit and talk about Madam Zhao. Rong Mama said that it will be fine once the Marquis finds the clansmen of Pang Da."

Qin Yuan said "hmm".

Counting the days, I’m afraid it will take some time for Gu Shiliu to come back.

If the Pang family wants to arrange for someone to go to the capital, they will have to discuss for a few days. The person coming will not be young, and Gu Shiliu cannot just rush on the journey, he must take a break.

As they were talking, they arrived at the hall door. The maids had already opened the curtains.

Qin Heng lowered his head and didn't dare to look any further.

Along the way, we saw the marquis's mansion was rich and magnificent. The maids in the upper rooms were all dressed in silk and satin, and the jewelry on their hair were gold and jade. They looked more elegant than the daughter of a minor official.

Qin Heng was afraid that he would accidentally show his weakness and embarrass his elder sister.

"The young master of the in-laws is here? Come in, come in."

Madam Gu's voice had already been heard, and soon afterwards, Madam Rong came over with a smile on her face.

Qin Heng paused nervously.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "My brother has been studying in the Imperial College and rarely comes out to see people. If there is anything wrong, please forgive him for my sake."

Qin Heng was a little surprised when he heard Qin Yuan affectionately call Madam Gu "Mom".

Then Madam Gu smiled and said, "Yuan'er, you are too polite. How can your brother be bad? He is also well-educated and well-mannered."

Qin Yuan gently pushed Qin Heng.

Qin Heng quickly paid his respects to Old Madam Gu as a junior. Old Madam Gu smiled and said, "Hurry up, we are all relatives, so you should visit each other more often in the future. Don't be so formal." Qin Yuan also paid his respects.

Aunt Rong stepped forward and gave Qin Heng a light support. Qin Heng quickly stood up and stood to one side.

Madam Gu said, "Hurry up and sit down, hurry up and sit down."

Seeing that Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er were not there, Qin Yuan understood that the old lady was worried that they were not sensible in front of her, so she asked Qin Heng to go and see them.

It can be seen that these two children have difficult personalities.

Qiu Ju came out of the inner room carrying a tray. Madam Gu asked Qin Yuan and Qin Heng to sit down, and then said, "Qin Jijiu is really handsome. You two are also very handsome, and you two are both very bookish. I really like you."

Qiuju quickly presented the gift.

Qin Heng was surprised. Just as his elder sister said, Madam Gu was generous and magnanimous. On the tray were a pair of gold ingots awarded for being the top scholar in the imperial examination, a jade pendant made of mutton-fat jade weighing nearly 100 taels, and a bulging purse. He had no idea what rare items were in it.

"This this……"

Qin Heng didn't dare to accept it and quickly refused.

Madam Gu smiled and said, "That's nothing. Your sister often gets good things from me. As soon as I see the young master of my in-laws, I like him very much. You should come and sit often when you have nothing to do and get closer to Brother Hui."

Qin Heng looked at Qin Yuan at a loss.

Seeing Qin Yuan nod, he did not refuse, took it and thanked her repeatedly.

Qin Yuan said, "Mother, my brother is here to go riding with the Marquis. Last time the Marquis went to my mother's house, I took him for a ride. The kid has been missing him ever since he was on holiday at the Imperial College. I didn't expect the Marquis to be at the camp."

"Haha," Old Madam Gu said with a smile, "There is no one in our mansion, young or old, male or female, who doesn't know how to ride a horse. You are not familiar with us yet, but when you are familiar with us, we can all teach you."

Then he asked Rong Mama, "Is Lao Liu at home? If he is, let him come and keep us company."

After saying that, he turned to Qin Heng and said, "Your sixth brother is the only one in our family who likes to read. He was in poor health when he was young, so he went to the Imperial College to finish elementary school and then stopped studying. He likes to play with scholars all day long. Yesterday, he told me that he and your second brother-in-law, Mr. Lin, often hang out together and have agreed to start a poetry club together. When he comes later, you two can have a good meal before going back, and it would be nice to let him take you riding a horse."

When Qin Yuan heard this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

As she expected, the question that Lord Gu asked Cui Ming last night originated from this.

When Qin Heng heard that he was Lord Gu's younger brother, he also had the idea of ​​making friends with him, so he smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm disturbing Sixth Brother."

Old Madam Gu has always liked good-looking people. Seeing that Qin Heng was handsome, well-spoken, and Qin Yuan's younger brother, she couldn't help but like him and pulled him aside to talk a few more words.

Qin Yuan joked on the side, making Madam Gu laugh a few times. She said to Qin Heng, "Your sister is really good at coaxing people. She made an old woman like me very much. The Marquis also said that he found a good wife. When you go back, just let your in-laws rest assured. I will take care of her and will not let her suffer any grievances."

Qin Yuan said quickly: "I am living very well in the Marquis' Mansion. He is young and although he is not good at speaking, he understands everything in his heart."

Qin Heng nodded and said, "Big sister is in good spirits, and it is obvious that she is doing well in the Marquis' Mansion. The other day, Big brother-in-law came to my house for a drink and said that he would treat Big sister well and let us rest assured. My father also said that Big brother-in-law is a hero who keeps his word and will never lie to us."

Madam Gu couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

Qin Heng didn't know why they were laughing, so he laughed along.

After a while, the maid came to look for Rong Mama, who whispered something to Old Madam Gu. Old Madam Gu said with regret, "Your sixth brother's injury has not fully healed yet, so it's not easy for him to come out to see you. He just said that we are all relatives, and we should visit each other often in the future, and there will be a chance to meet."

Qin Yuan laughed secretly in his heart.

The scars on Mr. Gu Liu's face have not yet healed completely. He is too embarrassed to go out to see guests, and he doesn't know how badly Madam Liu scratched him.

The brother and sister had a meal with Old Madam Gu before saying goodbye and leaving.

Qin Yuan sent Qin Heng to the second gate before returning. Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded him: "Don't forget to ask cousin Siyuan to come. I have something important to ask him for help. You must tell him this."
