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

Hongye was startled, and immediately said, "Yes, Madam said that the Marquis wants to have a private conversation with the Sixth Master, and no one is allowed to disturb him. Cuiming is waiting outside, and if the Marquis has any instructions, just call her."

Master Gu Liu had already taken the soup bowl and praised it as he drank it, "Is this hangover soup a recipe from my sister-in-law's family? It tastes better than what the cook in the mansion cooks."

Gu Jinghui ignored him and just signaled with his eyes, asking Hongye to leave quickly.

The red leaves immediately disappeared.

When they came out and saw Cui Ming still guarding outside, Hong Ye said, "The Marquis said to let the servant who came to help Master Liu guard outside. You should also come back with me to serve Madam and let her rest."

Cui Ming was stunned for a moment, but without asking any more questions, she called the boy over, asked him to sit outside, and brought him some snacks and fruits, asking him to eat slowly. She also found a few maids and said, "The Marquis and the Sixth Master are having a private conversation. You stay here and watch. If someone is waiting for you, go in. If no one is calling you, stay outside and don't fall asleep. I'll give you something delicious tomorrow."

The little maids all nodded in agreement.

The two of them then returned to the main room. Qin Yuan only chuckled after hearing what Hongye said, and asked Hongye to tell the cook to prepare hot water and breakfast early tomorrow. Lord Gu would wear military uniform when he went to the Jokhang Temple, so there was no need to worry about preparing clothes and accessories.

She sorted out her thoughts under the lamp, wrote and drew for a while, then washed and rested.

The next day, after Qin Yuan woke up, she learned that Marquis Gu had already left for the palace. The maid who served her reported that the Marquis was very satisfied.

Anyway, Hongye can always find out what is on her mind.

Madam Zhao said with a smile, "Master Gu Liu and Sister Yu are learning etiquette. Madam, please take a look. I think we were very bad in the past two days."

Ji Yu glanced at you and responded.

Dahong said happily: "Thank you, Madam. Dahong is willing to learn."

The Marquis went to the servant room. Madam Zhao was teaching her two children to read, and Dahong was there with them. When they saw the Marquis coming, the two children called out to him awkwardly and bowed.

Gu Liuye asked awkwardly, "Madam, is it true that if I memorize those eight books, I can enter Ji Yuyuan?"

Although Mr. Gu Liu and Yu Jie'er felt awkward, they still took their seats respectfully.

What I mean is that you don't know everything the Imperial College says.

Hongye curled her lips.

The Marquis glanced at the empty smile on your face and said, "You are too polite, Eighth Brother's wife. Cuiming went to the Jokhang Temple early in the morning and rested in the side room last night. You know when we chatted until we stopped. Cuiming also asked someone to serve her. She said she wanted to have a private conversation with Eighth Brother. No one wants to disturb her."

The Marquis' eyes narrowed slightly.

Dahong said, "Yes, there are only about a hundred words. I will teach you everything that Grandpa knows."

"As long as you are satisfied," Qin Yuan said, "you must serve the Marquis badly."

Madam Gu saw Ji Yu's intention and said, "But it is true. Kang Ge'er and Fu Ge'er have to recite every day. They also have to practice small characters every day when they come back from vacation, and they have to be taught by Lao Ba. It's really hard."

Hongye said with a disappointed look on her face: "I also know why the Imperial College is so troubled?"

The Imperial Guards had so few men that could be used, but it was really puzzling that they had to let Gu Jinghui escort them.

When they heard Ji Yu mentioned, the two children pricked up their ears to listen.

Mr. Gu Liu's expression didn't look ugly at all, and he nodded seriously.

Although the Fourth Princess is the biological daughter of Emperor Lin and ranks ahead of you, the age difference between the two is small, but she still has no title.

Madam Gu also came out with Qiuju and asked, "Yuan'er, does he know why Hui'er was chosen by the emperor to go and pray for the princesses?"

A princess was so favored by the emperor that she no longer had her title.

Yu Jie'er pouted in grievance, but Mr. Gu Liu showed no joy.

Dahong hid his achievements and fame, and stood aside with his eyes narrowed and his mouth grinning.

The Marquis smiled and said, "Mother is really bad. You came here to eat that meal just because you were a student."

Ji Yu said: "If he doesn't have the heart, you can ask Sister Hongye to find him a copy of Thousand Characters to learn. Once he learns it, he will know a thousand characters, and he can read storybooks and write letters based on the stories."

Madam Gu asked, "Did Hui-ge-er say what the King of Qi and the Princess were going to do?"

The Marquis nodded and said, "You see, we all know how to greet people in the past two days. It's still mother and Lady Zhao who can teach people."

It's actually worse than yesterday.

Mr. Gu Liu buried his head and quickly ate the bun in his hand.

Old Madam Gu was coaxed into laughing.

Speaking of Cheng Ge'er's illness, Old Madam Gu was not at all annoyed.

"Only those who endure the most hardships can be considered as servants." The Marquis said, "Ji Yu has made many great achievements on the battlefield, but he also went through a lot of hardships in martial arts training. He is honored behind people's backs but suffers in front of others. When your brother was older, his wrists were swollen from practicing calligraphy, and he cried all the time. Now his handwriting is acceptable."

That matter will be asked about sooner or later, so just say it.

Mrs. Gu Ba's face looked a little worse, and she turned to ask the two older children whether Cheng Ge'er was in poor health.

Seeing you like this, the Marquis no longer dislikes you. He pulls you over and asks, "How many words does he know now?"

As soon as Madam Gu Ba stepped back, she said, "Sister-in-law Ba, Master Ba went to Wutong Garden yesterday to bother them."

Madam Gu also noticed that Ji Yu was wary of the two children passing on messages, and thought that the Marquis was being cautious, so she stopped asking questions and said, "I left the palace early. Did he have a meal? He ate there."

The Marquis thought that if he quickly disciplined the two children, they would eventually become good, but he would have to leave Cheng Ge'er first.

The Marquis looked at the two children and said with a smile, "Mother, Cuiming is also wondering. Yesterday, Prince Qi and Princess Fuyun went to the small camp and talked to Cuiming for a while. This morning, the Emperor issued an edict asking Cuiming to accompany him to the Xiaozhao Temple to pray for blessings."

Madam Gu said angrily, "We just got used to living there, and he started it again. What kind of minor illness is Ji Yuyuan's? It hasn't gotten worse yet, it just keeps coming back."

The Marquis thought for a moment and said, "When the princess was young, she was playing by the pond and was grabbed by Cui Ming, causing her to fall into the pond. She remembered the favor and followed the King of Qi here to thank Cui Ming in person."

Madam Zhao smiled and said, "Ji Yu suddenly came back yesterday, and only sat in the lower room for a while before leaving. He said that the emperor asked me to go to Xiaozhao Temple to pray for blessings. The old lady is still mumbling about that matter."

When Mrs. Gu Ba arrived, the family had already had breakfast.

The Marquis looked at me and said softly, "This is enough. Rong Mama has a lot of homework. If she only memorizes those eight books, she will be inferior to others. She also doesn't understand what the master teaches. Rong Mama's college students have to practice small characters every day in addition to reading the classics. If the handwriting is bad or the reading is bad, they will be beaten with a board. You have to wait and find a teacher to teach you. It's better to learn the seven books and seven classics before going to Rong Mama."

The Marquis laughed and said, "Those were all learned by your brother when he was in elementary school. I have been memorizing the Eight Character Classic, Hundred Family Names, and Thousand Character Classic since I was a child. After I was in elementary school, I could no longer follow the teacher to study."

Master Gu Liu, who was standing aside, stared at the Marquis with bright eyes.
