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

Chapter 253 Family Banquet

That's true.

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Sixth Master, do you also want to have a gathering in the mansion?"

Men of letters and poets all like to travel and enjoy the scenery, while girls in the boudoir like to appreciate flowers, paint, recite poems and compose couplets at home. Although they all set up their own societies, there are still some big differences between them.

Qiu Ju said, "Sixth Master said he would discuss it with Young Master Qin before making a decision, so the old lady naturally agreed."

"Oh," Qin Yuan knew that this matter would not succeed.

However, after opening the mansion, she still has to hold a banquet to wash away the bad luck, and she can't escape this job.

After Qiuju left, Qin Yuan asked Cuiming, "Didn't Shen Changle send in a collection of poems?"

Cui Ming went out to ask, and came back after a while, saying, "Perhaps he was left in the outer courtyard, and the servants sent him to the Sixth Master."

Qin Yuan said: "Forget it, I'll go to the upper room later."

She had seen the previous edition.

You thought to yourself, "If your mother-in-law serves you badly, she will beat Cuiming on your behalf. This is the youngest leg, so you must hold her tightly. Cuiming only needs to be respected and coaxed on weekdays, and it's OK if she makes mistakes."

Aunt Rong said, "My son disobeyed my mother's arrangement."

Qin Yuan sighed: "I also know how long he can remember."

Madam Rong held her head high and drank her tea silently, so I could only interrupt her on the topic.

Qin Yuan shook her head: "Hurry up and help me comb my hair and change my clothes. Even though it's a family dinner, we can't be negligent. We should go to the upper room early to serve the old lady."

"Of course I will find a uglier headgear to give to Madam, since she loves beauties the most."

Madam Gu asked again, "What if we want to release the pearl?"

Cheng Ge'er took Yu Jie'er to sit beside the Marquis and said, "Adoptive mother, my son has been studying these days. He must have been naughty and obedient before, but he will do something naughty again. Can you plead for you in front of your adoptive father and ask him not to send you away?"

Hongye asked: "Will Cuiming complain about waiting for me again?"

Rong Mama put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Mother, do you really want us to come too?"

"Mother and eighth brother are already outside, and you thought you were the first to arrive."

"Forget it."

Qin Yuan hurried over to comb her hair. The eight people discussed for a while and finally decided to comb her hair into a low bun, pinned a peony in her hair, and used a set of jade head ornaments given by the old lady. It matched her green silk shirt and her dark and flawless skin. She was striking and dignified.

After the finalization, it will be put on sale.

Qin Yuan said: "Big sister's beauty can be concealed, but she looks like that after a little dressing up. She can always wear anything at family banquets, without any dressing up."

Hongye said, "Old Madam, if you see him dressed like that, you will be unhappy."

The Marquis came out from behind the screen and said, "What are they whispering about? Come and help you think of a headgear."

Gu Liuye said, "If the old lady wants to be quiet, she can invite the concubines of the eighth master to come here together."

"He is an old man who hates nonsense," said Mrs. Gu, "Tell the two children to stop learning and go out to meet people."

It was already dark, and Gu Jinghui did not come to Wutong Garden again, nor did he send anyone to deliver a message.

Pei Xing was the head of the family before, so those people still need to be met.

What's more, there is no child of Master Ba yet.

Pei Xingzi immediately tried to smooth things over, "Don't listen to their nonsense. How can Madam control Cui Ming? Cui Ming treats them as her own children. Sending them away is also for their own good."

"Killing someone is still too much, bad sister. He won't embarrass you. If you make a mistake again, he will tell you directly."

Master Gu Liu said, "If Madam praises you again, the old lady will ask you to search the bottom of the box again."

But what he said was bad and he said it out loud. It depends on when Hongye can figure it out.

Madam Gu said, "That's bad. I asked you to bring your children here. Old Eighth is doing some serious work now. Let the children have a good time."

The Marquis said, "I blame myself, and you do yours. You always manage to get around me. As a daughter-in-law, you must first serve your mother-in-law."

Hongye laughed dryly twice: "Hey, did you want to come over?"

The Marquis laughed and said, "It's still my mother's things that are bad. You usually wear jade when you go out, but it doesn't look that bad."

Did you have the tact to mention Cui Ming that time?

"Isn't it a little too eye-catching?"

All the maids and old women in the room were laughing.

Before the Marquis could say anything, Rong Ma said, "Forget it, forget it. You still have to stay outside the courtyard. If I ask you to come out, the mynah bird will get angry and force you to sew, which is fatal."

If we calculate the time, maybe we can catch the banquet after the opening of the Marquis' Mansion, and then we can also save face for Qin Siyuan and Mr. Gu Liu.

Rong Mama didn't try to hide her joy, and deliberately said in amazement: "Mother is really good at disciplining people. Those two big bullies have learned etiquette now."

The Marquis said, "Well, let's go."

While the Marquis was changing clothes in front of the screen, Qin Yuan said loudly to Hongye, "He is stupid. If Cui Ming asked the elder sister to wait for me and she was late coming, would the elder sister offend the old lady? A son is always closer than a daughter-in-law. Cui Ming asked the old lady to wait because she felt sorry for Pei Xing's busy work. The elder sister asked the old lady to wait because she must feel neglected by her daughter-in-law."

"It's so beautiful! That's how big sister should dress," Hongye exclaimed with a smile.

Sure enough, seeing that the Marquis used the headgear you gave her, Old Madam Gu was very unhappy and said with a smile, "It's bad to dress like that. It's bad to dress up like that. It's bad to dress up like a grown-up boy in red and green. Don't learn from these weird things and wear plain clothes. It looks very dull."

Madam Gu said, "From now on, his wife will be the head of the household, and you won't bother to care about their affairs outside the house. Why don't you let us come to the lower room to pay our respects? Today is his wedding day, so let us come and meet his sister-in-law."

Madam Rong had been waiting in the lower room for a long time. When she saw Pei Xing retreating, her eyes were filled with surprise. Then she lowered her eyelids and dared not look again.

Before the Marquis paid his respects, he sat down next to Old Madam Gu.

Since it's a family dinner, it should be quiet and peaceful.

Lord: “…”

She had always been quick-witted and had already thought of several ways to create a reputation for the two of them. She just had to do it step by step.

Hongye said, "How about sending a little girl over to ask?"

Hongye blushed and nodded randomly, "You've got it in mind."

Qin Yuan said in a serious tone: "You know he hopes that the eldest sister and her husband will love each other, but don't forget that in the former residence, the mother-in-law is not the wife's heaven, and filial piety comes first in every dynasty. Our eldest sister has a bad fate and met the old lady, but she must be more careful and cherish her blessings."

Qiuju went to call Zihe.

Madam Gu's face darkened.

The Marquis did not hesitate.

"Why?" the Marquis asked in a humorous tone.

As they were talking, the twins, a boy and a girl, were brought in. As soon as they came out, they bowed politely and greeted people, which was much more respectful than what they had done afterwards.

The new edition added poems and postscripts by the two adults, and paintings signed by Mr. Gu Liu, and there is nothing else to change.

Yu Jie'er also sobbed and said, "Stepmother, you are so bad, so fragrant, just like a fairy man in the world. The man wants to leave his stepfather. We all say that the stepfather listens to his stepmother the most. Can you help you to speak for him?"
