Chapter 98: Can't resist my finger
Lord Gu drank the wine in his hand.

motherfucker.

He is still a boy now.

This time when Mu Xiu returns home, he must consummate the marriage.

Not even the king of heaven could stop him from consummating his marriage.

The slightly yellowish turbid wine dripped down the corners of his lips, and Lord Gu wiped it off with the back of his hand without a care. Even such an action was pleasing to the eye for him.

"Why are you hitting her? She can't stand a single blow from me."

Everyone understood and couldn't help laughing.

After all, the general had just gotten married, so it was understandable that he didn't understand these dirty words.

Admiral Jin came closer and said mysteriously, "Your Majesty, you still don't know what these bastards are talking about. When you want to fight in the future, I have a lot of good things here that I can show you."

Lord Gu knew that what they said was not a good thing, but he was not willing to be outdone.

After all, he had endured for so many years before finally getting the chance to show off, so how could he miss it? He turned the topic back to his wife.

Qin Yuan was described to be the best in the world.

This made everyone feel jealous.

Only then did Lord Gu leave with satisfaction.

Returning to his own tent, Gu Jinghui sighed. He felt cold and bored. He lay on the couch and prepared to take a nap, but heard the servant's voice outside: "Master, there's a letter from the mansion."

Gu Jinghui immediately turned over and sat up, saying, "Bring it in quickly."

The servant came in and handed him the letter. Gu Jinghui quickly opened it and saw that it was from his adopted son Cheng Ge'er. He said that he had heard his wife talking about his brother's passing the imperial examination in the upper room, and only then did he know that the imperial examination was so powerful. He was willing to follow his adoptive father's arrangement to study in the Imperial Academy, and he wanted to pass the imperial examination in the future. He also wanted his sister Yu Jie'er to marry a Jinshi and become his wife, so that he could bring honor to the family and make his adoptive father and father proud of them.

At the end of the letter, it was stated that it was written at the request of Xiaohong.

Gu Jinghui felt somewhat amused and somewhat relieved.

Originally, he was worried that Cheng Ge'er would be spoiled by following Madam Zhao.

Gu Jinghui put down the letter and asked the servant, "Does the mansion have anything else to say?"

The servant said, "No."

Gu Jinghui was a little disappointed.

The servant said again, "The one who brought the letter is Eighteen, he hasn't left yet."

"Let him in."

Gu Shiba walked in, bowed, and asked, "What do you want, Master?"

Gu Jinghui asked: "Has there been any movement in the mansion in the past two days?"

Gu Shiba said, "Nothing. It's just that Madam's brother came and said that the Imperial College was on holiday and he came to look for his master to ride. He was quite disappointed when he didn't see his master. The old lady asked Sixth Master to accompany him, but Sixth Master didn't come out because his face was not healed. Madam and him accompanied the old lady to have a meal."

Gu Jinghui smiled.

"Madam's cousin is here too. The old lady has prepared a gift for him but hasn't given it away yet. Madam said there will be more coming..."

Gu Shiba recounted everything he had heard and seen.

Gu Jinghui asked, “What did Madam say? Is Cheng Ge’er suddenly planning to take the imperial examination?”

Gu Shiba said, "Madam said that her cousin has the talent to become a Jinshi, and she also said that she would wait until he passed the exam to choose a good marriage. Madam said that those who can pass the exam at the age of 35 are considered young Jinshi, and many people are still taking the exam at the age of 70 or 80. She asked Madam Six not to push the two young masters too much. The old lady also said that she wanted the Sixth Master to take the exam with the young masters..."

Gu Shiba himself was confused, and he couldn't figure out why Cheng Ge'er suddenly wanted to take the imperial examination.

Gu Jinghui smiled and said, “Go back and tell Madam not to worry about the pepper issue. The pepper business in Prince Qi’s mansion is unlikely to succeed.”

He couldn't tell Qin Yuan what the King of Qi had done, so he could only explain it this way.

Gu Shiba agreed.

Gu Jinghui paused as he was about to say something, and swallowed his saliva dryly. Gu Shiba thought of what Gu Shiliu said before leaving, and immediately said, "Master, the Madam has been thinking about you these past two days."

Gu Jinghui's expression immediately became much better, and he smiled and said, "I see, you did a great job."

Gu Shiba asked: "Do you want to give Master Pang a reply?"

Gu Jinghui said: “Just tell him that I am trying to find a famous teacher for him. I am very pleased that he is interested in studying. There is no need to say anything else.”

He was also a little confused about what Qin Yuan had said before.

It would be bad if you end up making things worse.

Let's wait and see.

After Gu Shiba left, Gu Jinghui whispered, “I knew Yuan’er was always thinking about me and couldn’t bear to leave me. Hey, how can you be so clingy?”

……

After Qin Yuan had lunch, she took a short rest and then Manager Leng sent someone to bring her the spices she ordered.

Spices are packed in wooden boxes according to their categories to prevent the flavors from mixing.

Qin Yuan has looked at them and found that all the spices are of top quality.

Shopkeeper Leng also sent a message saying that the chief secretary of Prince Qi's palace was asking around for prices and didn't want anyone to rush to sell the pepper. If Qin Yuan was in a hurry to buy it, he would send people to ask around.

"When you go back, tell Shopkeeper Leng that you are in trouble. I am not in a hurry to buy it, but there is no stock in the capital, so it is good to ask around."

Qin Yuan asked the maid to give the visitor some money and let him have tea.

The visitor took it with many thanks and then left.

Qin Yuan changed her clothes, wrapped her hair with a scarf, tied her sleeves tightly, and began to make incense.

Making incense is a delicate and tedious task, and requires many tools.

Some need to be ground into fine powder, some need to be roasted into ashes, and some need to be boiled in water or rolled in a mill...

Fortunately, Ranxiangju has been doing this for many years, and the spices are handled by specialists who are very experienced.

When Qin Yuan asked for spices, he told her how to make several spices.

Shopkeeper Leng was very efficient in his work. All the items that were delivered to him were processed cleanly. What needed to be cleaned was cleaned, what needed to be sieved was sieved, and what needed to be crushed was crushed.

There are only a few things that need to be made by her personally.

Qin Yuan had someone prepare a clean room long ago. After sweeping it, he lit the incense burner on the incense table and threw several spices into it to heat them. After they were dry, he ground them into powder and then steamed them in water.

There was an ice basin in the room, which was cool enough for Qin Yuan to make incense calmly without feeling stuffy.

Hongye and Cuiming knew that she should not be disturbed while making incense, so they stood outside and talked quietly. Qin Yuan steamed and boiled it, then added water to grind it, dried it into fine powder, and mixed it with rock honey to make pills. Before she knew it, it took more than two hours.

The finished incense pills need to be cooled down slowly and dried before they can be used.

When Qin Yuan left the room, she found out that Qin Siyuan had already asked someone to send the topics and poems he had compiled.

"Miss, the Marquis just sent someone to bring you a message."

Qin Yuan's mouth was dry, and he didn't bother to listen, so he drank two cups of tea before asking, "What did the Marquis bring?"

Hongye said, "The Marquis asked Gu Shiba to bring a message, saying that there is no need to rush about the pepper matter. I'm afraid that the business of Prince Qi's Mansion will not be able to be done in the end."

"Oh?"

Qin Yuan was a little surprised and asked again: "Is that all you have to say?"

Hongye couldn't help but laugh and said, "The Marquis said you don't have to worry about him. He eats, sleeps, and changes clothes on time in the barracks, and reads in his spare time. He's doing very well."

Qin Yuan couldn't help but smile and nodded, "That's good."

Putting down the teacup, Qin Yuan took Qin Siyuan's thick stack of papers and found a letter mixed in it. He opened it and took a look, then threw it on the table and snorted, "Lin Ziqi."
