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

Chapter 99: Scholars have many thoughts
Cui Ming and Hong Ye couldn't help but look at each other, both of them were a little suspicious.

Lin Ziqi is already the second young lady's husband, so he should be more cautious when doing things. Why would the young master mention Lin Ziqi for no reason?

Hongye asked, "Miss, what happened to Master Lin?"

Qin Yuan snorted coldly and said, "My cousin said that Lin Ziqi invited him to form a club. The meeting place happened to be Yuyuantan, which was also the date I mentioned. He wondered if Lin Ziqi also knew the news, so he asked me whether I should tell Lin Ziqi."

Hongye breathed a sigh of relief.

Cui Ming asked, "This is a good thing for the young master, why does the young lady look so disdainful?"

Hongye also looked at her with wide eyes.

Qin Yuan said, "He got the news and came to invite my cousin, but he didn't tell my cousin the truth. There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. If he found someone else to join a club, each of them has their own strengths, how could he show his own strengths? He knew that my cousin's poems were not good, so he invited my cousin to be his foil to highlight him. If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid he also invited some people who are not good at poetry to accompany him."

This is like picking a general from among short people, and trying to compare yourself to others.

Hongye smacked her lips: "The young master actually wanted to mention it to him? The minds of scholars are really complicated. If the young lady hadn't said it, how could she have thought of this level."

Qin Yuan said: "He has always been like this, forget it, let's not talk about it."

Cui Ming quickly said, "Yes, yes, don't mention this person anymore in the future."

Seeing the time, it was time for dinner, so Qin Yuan said, "Hurry up and ask the maid to serve dinner. I stayed up late today and I have a pungent scent on my body, which has stained my hair. I won't go to my mother's place."

Cui Ming asked someone to serve the meal and lit the small lamp.

It was still bright outside, and the light in the room was a little dim, but it was not impossible to read. When they were in the Qin Mansion, they would never turn on the lights.

Qin Yuan smiled, and Cui Ming was getting more and more accustomed to the life in the Marquis' Mansion.

This is a good thing.

Qin Yuan took her cousin's manuscript and looked through it carefully. Qin Siyuan lacked some talent in writing poetry, but he had always been diligent and had a solid foundation. On several sheets of paper, he listed all the common topics for poems in this season over the years, and as she said, he marked out the possible topics for poems in Yuyuantan.

Qin Yuan nodded.

My cousin has always been serious and down-to-earth in his work, which is reflected in all aspects.

Qin Yuan opened the poem written by her cousin again. It was very neat, but too general, with no originality in the wording and the artistic conception was also much worse.

She reached out and picked up the ink stick on the table, added some water, rubbed it a few times in the inkstone, then dipped the ink and circled a few words in each poem.

These words are the "eyes" of each sentence.

The sentence will only be beautiful if it is replaced with a better one.

What remained was the artistic conception. Qin Yuan thought that this could not be achieved in a hurry, so he included his own work in Qin Siyuan's manuscript and circled a few of the poems marked by his cousin to indicate that they wanted to discuss them in detail.

Then he asked someone to find Shen Changle and said to him, "Take this manuscript of poems to your cousin Siyuan. He needs it urgently. Remember not to let anyone else see it." Shen Changle agreed.

Qin Yuan continued, "Tell my cousin that when Mr. Dongpo was chosen as the chief examiner, he gave his newly written essay to a friend on the way to the Imperial Examination Hall. His friend was not at home, and Mr. Dongpo's servant was anxious to go back, so he gave it to his friend's servant. The servant casually put it on the table in the hall, and the two brothers who came to visit saw it. They thought it was well written, so they took it without asking and took it home to study it carefully. Mr. Dongpo's friend never saw the essay from beginning to end. When it came to the exam, the test questions given by Mr. Dongpo were indeed somewhat relevant to the essay. The two brothers made it to the top of the list, but Mr. Dongpo's friend almost failed."

Shen Changle was a smart man, and he immediately said, "I will definitely find Young Master Qin and hand it over to him personally. I will also tell him to be careful."

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "You are doing things properly, I am very relieved."

Shen Changle breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Yuan added: "Tell my cousin that if things are not kept secret, they will fail. What I told him must not be known to others."

Shen Changle's heart was lifted again, wondering what kind of important matter his master was doing. The weightless roll of paper in his hand became particularly heavy, and he said in a serious tone, "I will definitely convey the message, Madam, don't worry."

Qin Yuan said: "Okay, go ahead."

Shen Changle listened to her cautious words. Although he didn't understand what the big deal was, he guessed that it was related to the young master's future. He did not rush out, but returned to his residence first, changed his clothes, and took out a bamboo backpack. He wrapped the manuscript Qin Yuan gave him in oil paper, wrapped it with a layer of cloth, and put it at the bottom. He also put some snacks, fruits and other things on it, and then carried it to the Qin Mansion.

Qin Siyuan waited for the whole afternoon but didn't see any reply from his cousin. Thinking that he could not wait any longer, he took the package and returned to the Imperial College. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out of the back door, he was stopped by Shen Changle who was guarding outside.

Qin Siyuan was surprised and asked, "Who are you?"

Shen Changle said, "I am the companion of the eldest aunt. I came back to give some things to my friends. The eldest aunt asked me to give something to the young master, and she also has something to tell him."

Qin Siyuan then realized that it was the chambermaid that Qin Yuan brought to the Marquis' Mansion, so he said, "Please excuse me, why don't you go to the other courtyard to look for me instead of waiting here?"

Shen Changle said: "Everything happened for a reason. I was just being cautious."

So he repeated what Qin Yuan said, and handed the empty bamboo basket to Qin Siyuan, saying, "The things under the sackcloth are what the young lady gave you. I don't know what they are, so I wrapped them up in oil paper. Do you want to take this basket with you, young master?"

Qin Siyuan thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness. I'll take it first and return it to you when I go to the Marquis' Mansion later."

Shen Changle smiled and said, "The reward from my eldest aunt is a lot. This bamboo basket was made by my wife herself. It is not worth much. You don't have to bring it to the Marquis' Mansion. I don't have anything useful with me except this. Please don't mind it."

"No, no," Qin Siyuan said, "You are really careful and prudent in doing things, but I have never paid attention to these details. Go back and tell your wife that I understand and that you must be careful and not leak any information."

Only then did Shen Changle bow and say goodbye.

Qin Siyuan thought to himself that his elder sister was very meticulous and that he still had a lot to learn. He put his package into the backpack, bought some food along the way, put it in the backpack, and then went to the Imperial College.

There were three people living in the dormitory in the Imperial College. Fortunately, the person they were living with had not returned at that time.

Only then did Qin Siyuan have time to open Qin Yuan's manuscript, read the annotations, and read the thoughts written by Qin Yuan.

My mind suddenly made a buzzing sound, and I felt that all the years of reading had been in vain.

　Everyone, did you have a good holiday? Did you go out to play?
