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

Chapter 89 I Can't Help Worrying

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Why else would I ask Heng to invite my brother here?"

Seeing her confident look, Qin Siyuan understood and immediately stood up and bowed deeply, saying, "If elder sister can find a way to help me get this opportunity, I will definitely repay you well."

Qin Yuan quickly stood up and stepped aside, refusing to accept the greeting. He said, "Brother, you are too polite. You can't write two Qin characters with one stroke. You and I are both members of the Qin family. If I don't help you when there is an opportunity, then how can I help others of the same surname?"

With her advice, Qin Siyuan and Qin Heng will probably be better off than in their previous life, and will become her helpers in the future.

As for Lin Ziqi...

Qin Yuan concealed the obscurity in her eyes and said, "Brother, please sit down quickly."

After Qin Siyuan sat down, Qin Yuan shook the round fan in his hand and said softly: "Of course there is a way. I have thought about it for a long time. Brother is well-versed in poetry and books, but he is a little inferior in wit."

Qin Siyuan nodded. He must have been well-read to pass the imperial examination.

Qin Yuan added: "When writing poetry, the key is to choose the right words to avoid mistakes in tone and rhythm. If the words are well chosen, it will have spirituality. After all, it is difficult to find good sentences. Many people have written thousands of poems, but only a few are widely known and praised."

Qin Siyuan nodded.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "There is another clever way, which is to develop the artistic conception. If the intention is high, it doesn't matter if the word selection and sentence structure are ordinary. It is better for brother to spend some effort on this."

Qin Siyuan sighed and frowned, "But my ideas are either not new enough or not high enough. Even my uncle said that my words and sentences are clichés. If my elder sister can go, what else is there to worry about?"

He is not afraid of writing policy papers.

But this dynasty places great emphasis on poetic talent, and the most important subject in the imperial examination is writing poetry.

If you are good at writing poetry and prose, you will have more opportunities to gain fame for your talent and be remembered by noble people.

This is already known to everyone.

Qin Yuan smiled: "Brother, how can you say such depressing words? I have already told you that I have a way. Think about it this way, brother. In this season, there are only a few topics that can be used to write poems and essays in Yuyuantan. Brother, you can't do it in a hurry. If you are prepared in advance, you can always write one or two good ones."

Hearing this, Qin Siyuan's eyes lit up and he looked at Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan added: "Here are some tips for writing poetry. Cousin, why don't you think of some topics that can be used to write poems to express your aspirations? I am not talented, but I am willing to lend a helping hand."

Qin Siyuan thought for a while and understood. If he wanted to leave a deep impression on the noble, besides the elegant verses, he should naturally write something that she said, elevating the idea and expressing his aspirations through objects. He could not help but said happily: "Thank you, elder sister, for teaching me so much. With such a smart teacher like elder sister, I will definitely be able to write good poems."

Then he stood up and bowed, saying, "Since elder sister is my teacher, I should behave like a disciple."

Qin Yuan couldn't help but laugh, but didn't move. He accepted the gift and said, "Then brother, you better seize the opportunity and send the poem as soon as possible. I am a very strict teacher."

"I understand, I understand. If jade is not polished, it will not become a talent."

Qin Siyuan was not a conservative person, and he had always admired Qin Yuan's poetic talent, so he did not feel offended at all.

Seeing him so open and at ease, Qin Yuan thought about how in her past life she had been rewarding Lin Ziqi for his writing. She had to carefully protect his self-esteem, and also had to follow others in praising his poetic talent. She felt so exhausted.

Qin Siyuan was anxious to go back and sort out the topic for his poem, so he said, "Big sister, I won't pay my respects to the elders this time. Please say hello for me."

Qin Yuan said, "Okay, brother, go back and write poems quickly. I will write some here as well. When you are done, come find me. Don't delay." She asked the little maid to take out the prepared material and said, "As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Brother, you have a handsome appearance, which makes people like you. If you dress up well that day, you will be more likely to catch the nobleman's eye. Please don't refuse."

She knew that her cousin was in financial difficulty and was still wearing hand-me-down clothes given by his father, so she simply prepared a few sets of clothes, hoping that he could dress them up and make a big splash.

Qin Siyuan's eyes were filled with tears, but he immediately smiled and accepted it, saying, "Thank you for your help, elder sister. I will definitely not let you down."

Qin Yuan nodded, "It's getting late, brother, please go back soon, or I won't keep any more food for you."

Qin Siyuan was not polite and took the package home. When he got home and saw his mother, he said, "Mom, this is the fabric my eldest sister gave me. She asked me to make two nice clothes and she wanted to help introduce me to a noble man."

The second aunt took the fabric, touched it, and exclaimed: "My eldest aunt is really lucky. I'm afraid your uncle only has one or two pieces of this fabric, but she gave it to you first."

Qin Siyuan was even more fond of Qin Yuan's kindness, and was afraid that his mother would tell others about it, which would make it difficult for Qin Yuan, so he said, "It's not good to brag about this, but my elder sister has always been very capable in doing things. Qin Heng just came back from the Marquis' Mansion today, so I'm afraid he didn't miss anything."

"Of course. Would I go and make your aunt unhappy?"

The second aunt was overjoyed. When she opened it and took a closer look, she found that there was more than one set, and even the uppers of the shoes were left with feet. She pointed it out to her son and said, "She is really generous. The last time she returned home, the return gift from the Marquis' Mansion made your aunt happy for several days. I was right about Sister Yuan. She is a thoughtful person. You must remember her kindness in the future."

Qin Siyuan responded absentmindedly, "I still have to do some homework, mother, you go ahead and do your work."

"Good, good, good."

My second aunt held the cloth and kept pressing it against her face without raising her head. She was only focused on figuring out how to make clothes, shoes and socks.

Old Madam Gu already knew that Qin Yuan's brothers had come to her parents' home again. She thought that Qin Yuan would bring them to pay their respects again, so she hurriedly prepared another gift. However, she didn't expect that the man came and sat for a short while before leaving in a hurry, and the gift was not even given out.

Madam Gu asked Aunt Rong, "What is Yuan'er busy with?"

Aunt Rong said, "If the old lady is worried, I will go to Wutong Garden and sit for a while."

"Never mind. I was just asking casually. Yuan'er is polite. Her brothers from her mother's family are here. I'm afraid they have something to do and can't come to me. Hui'er just left. Last night he asked me to take good care of his wife. I can't help but worry about him."

Aunt Rong smiled and said, "Madam has a plan in mind. I'm afraid she will send someone to deliver a message later."

As she was talking, Hongye brought some soft food and said, "Madam's cousin from her mother's family came to sit with us and talked about some things. He was going to come and pay his respects to the old lady, but he had some urgent matters and didn't have time. He will come again in a few days and pay his respects to the old lady then."

Madam Gu smiled and said, "You are right."

Rong Mama also laughed and said, "Madam is very sensible. As for Xiaohong, she came up with a plan but didn't tell anyone herself. She just let Xiaohong listen to the old servant and teach the two children. How could such a person do such a disrespectful thing?"

Hongye received the reward from the old lady and was overjoyed to show it off to Qin Yuan and Cui Ming.

Cui Ming pursed her lips and smiled: "Now you don't have to worry about my bracelet anymore."

Hongye's bracelet is also made of similar materials, but with different patterns. It is obvious that they were purchased in batches for the purpose of rewarding.

Hongye sighed, "I really hope I can enjoy it more often."

Qin Yuan didn't say anything, just staring blankly under the lamp, thinking about how Lord Gu had asked Gu Shiqi to inquire about the matter of Huo Jiao, but why there was no response until now...
