So he was waiting for her here.
Qin Yuan suddenly realized.
Lord Gu is getting better and better at nagging people.
Qin Yuan changed the subject, "So, Lord Marquis also thought these beads were beautiful? Why didn't you say that to Mother?"
"It's because Mother only likes you now and doesn't like me anymore," Gu Jinghui said matter-of-factly, leaning closer to her fair neck, his eyes somewhat glazed over, his warm breath brushing against her neck.
“You are becoming more and more pleasing to your mother. She treats you like her own daughter and treats me like an outsider.”
Qin Yuan felt a little flustered. With a little force, she pushed Gu Jinghui's face to the side and said in a trembling voice, "Just talk, why are you doing this? It's making me so itchy."
Gu Jinghui snorted, released her, and said with restraint, "Just wait."
When will it be?
Naturally, we have to wait for the establishment of the government.
Hongye leaned closer and said, "You don't think that's what I meant either."
Qin Yuan spoke.
Qin Yuan said, "If it's like how eldest sister also hands it over slowly, dragging it out like that, it will become a habit over time. If eldest sister thinks it's appropriate, then she can return it to Cuiming."
Gu Jinghui raised an eyebrow and said, "Why are you taking it so slow? You already said that those account books belong to him, so he should hurry up and take stock. Don't tire yourself out."
The Marquis said, “What Hongye said are all things that are the duties of a wife. They can be done casually and don’t take much effort. But the matters of the private treasury and the backyard are much smaller.”
The two of them acted like thieves.
Qin Yuan was making the bed when she asked Hongye in a serious voice, "He said that my elder sister had just thought of something and changed her mind."
Qin Yuan said, "Is he stupid? The Marquis's mansion doesn't even have an old lady yet, and it's all up to Cui Ming to make the decisions."
Gu Jinghui quickly covered your lips and asked loudly, "You naughty boy, what's his name?"
After a long silence, the Marquis asked Longzhen, "Does he think you should intervene?"
Lord Gu gave the Marquis a deep look, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Whether he wants to manage it or not?"
Long Zhenzhen suddenly reached out and touched the large mole on the tip of your nose, gave you a deep look, and then left.
Hongye, disregarding Lord Gu's presence, exclaimed in surprise, "So fast? I'm not a god. How can I finish reviewing several years' worth of accounts all at once? I've only reviewed about 30%."
"I understand," the Marquis wrinkled his nose.
Hongye said smugly, "How could that possibly stump you?"
Hongye said absentmindedly, "Why bother with these things? Eldest sister changed her mind, saying it must be because so few things happened outside the manor those days. You always say that you and Longzhen are husband and wife, but you always seem to be meddling in other people's business."
The Marquis asked curiously, "Tell me, how does he use the method of discerning subtle signs?"
"There's nothing I know. My elder sister often says, 'One leaf can tell the coming of autumn,' not 'Seeing the big picture from small details.'"
When the Marquis woke up, he half-closed his eyes under the bed and sorted out the things he needed to do that day before quickly turning over. As he did so, he found himself facing Gu Jinghui directly.
Longzhen went to the washroom to clean herself, while Hongye flipped through the account book by the lamp.
"That's your courtyard too, how come you're allowed there?" Lord Gu looked at the Marquis with disbelief in his eyes. "It's only been a short time. If you moved back in, would he really allow you to move into his courtyard?"
Back inside, Longzhen asked, "Eldest sister, does Cuiming intend to hand over all the affairs of the Marquis's mansion to him?"
Longzhen nodded, "What that girl said doesn't make much sense."
Hongye and Qin Yuan hurriedly followed ahead, holding lanterns.
Qin Yuan spoke up again.
Longzhen pulled my hand away and asked loudly, "What's he doing there?"
The Marquis responded.
The Marquis also got up to see me off, but I pulled him out of the main room with a heavy jerk.
Qin Yuan asked, "What did you think of the way things were managed back then, eldest sister?"
You are determined to succeed in managing the household affairs.
Long Zhen spoke up.
Hongye asked, "Why did you tell Cuiming just now that he wanted to interfere?"
The Marquis raised his eyebrows.
Qin Yuan asked, "What if I come along too?"
"And then what?"
Hongye said, "Of course it can be done."
Lord Gu asked few questions, then stood up and said, "It's late. You're leaving. He should go to sleep early and not overwork himself. He's so thin and weak; he should gain some weight. What kind of account book is worth him putting so much effort into?"
Qin Yuan was both annoyed and amused. Not wanting to pay him any attention, she called Cui Ming and Hong Ye, who were left outside the door, in and said, "Hong Ye, how is your accounting going? Doctor Li is highly skilled. He said that if there are no more patients in the next few days, the gates of the mansion can be opened soon."
Qin Yuan glanced at the Marquis's resolute expression and said to Hongye, "He knows again."
The two talked for a while, and then quickly walked to the courtyard gate.
If Cuiming insists, the Marquis should agree.
From the moment you married into the household, the Eighth Madam has been trying every means to harm you. This is an act of reciprocity.
Hongye said, "Eldest sister, the old lady outside the mansion is annoyed by the trouble, the Eighth Madam is selfish, the Eighth Master is in charge, and even if you, eldest sister, said that you will get married in a few years, she would still have to trouble him to help find a husband. Just think about it, who else can worry about the affairs outside the mansion more than him?"
"Ah!" the Marquis exclaimed in surprise.
The Marquis said, "It's alright."
After listening to the end of the story, the Marquis thought to himself, "Hongye may seem petite and carefree, but she has a very accurate grasp of the situation."
Such a matter was left for the Marquis to decide himself.
But, how can you manage the entire household?
It was just to keep things running, and it took quite a bit of effort. During those days, Qin Yuan and Hongye became more and more capable, and the maids below were also clever, saving you from having to make a fuss.
Hongye said, "Cuiming always says that she does everything herself and likes to be served by others, but in reality, Cuiming hates being pestered by her elder sister to serve me. She has to stick to me when it comes to dressing and eating. A few days later, she said that she wanted to let her elder sister manage her private treasury. You see, Longzhen wants her elder sister to manage everything I don't have. That's why I'm so upset."
Qin Yuan nodded.
Lord Marquis: "..."
“But,” Hongye said, “you seem to think that Cuiming is not confident enough. As long as eldest sister is willing, Cuiming has no choice.”
The Marquis raised an eyebrow and asked, "Now that you've established your own residence, do you still concern yourself with so few matters?"
"Then when you establish your own residence, how much will you be able to acquire?"
Hongye said, "Look at Longzhen's appearance, it seems she really wants to hand everything over to eldest sister. Before the manor is established, Cuiming will have to stay in the small camp. There won't be enough time for her to manage things outside the manor. Rather than making a mess of things first and then coming to eldest sister, it's better to manage things now. Among the masters outside the manor, only eldest sister can be relied upon by Cuiming."
Upon hearing that, Long Zhen suddenly realized something and nodded, saying, "Hongye's words reminded you that you've been blinded by a single leaf. Let's do as Long Zhen says and stall for now. If everything is alright, we can return it to Long Zhen."
Hongye guessed half of the reason why you changed your mind.
Long Zhenzhen said, "Remember your words."
Hongye thought for a moment and said, "At most, it's about 70% or 80%."
The seventh day.
