Chapter 514 Thanks to Madam
Gu Baozhu asked curiously, “Is it possible that only men in this world can be immodest, but we women cannot be immodest?”

Lord Gu glared: “…So you didn’t hear anything I just said.”

Gu Baozhu immediately brought up Qin Yuan and said, “I’m doing this for my third sister-in-law’s bookstore business. I want to paint the scene of playing football in the Imperial College that day. You Da said that we played awkwardly that day and it wasn’t pretty enough. Besides, with so many people, Sixth Brother might not be able to remember it. I just wanted Sixth Brother to watch us play again. What’s wrong with this name? Should it be called “The Picture of Ten Tyrants Playing Football”? “

Lord Gu was speechless.

Master Gu Liu said, “Oh! I remember now, that Youda didn’t play the game that day, should we add her this time?”

“That’s natural.” said Gu Baozhu.

“I see.”

Master Gu Liu glanced at Gu Baozhu and said, “I have a very good memory. The scene of playing cue that day is all in my mind. I don’t need to bother you anymore.”

Gu Baozhu stamped her feet and said, “I won’t talk to you anymore. I’m going to talk to my third sister-in-law.”

The two brothers of the Gu family also thought she was stubborn.

Gu Baozhu went to Wutong Garden angrily to look for Qin Yuan, but found her empty-handed, so she went to the upper room.

Qin Yuan was talking to the old lady.

“Mother, the Marquis is really a fool. He insisted that the head ornaments mother gave me were too beautiful and that I couldn’t wear them and had to keep them. Today, he asked Sixteen to give me some old-fashioned head ornaments. They are indeed very expensive, but he was afraid that mother would despise me if we were together.”

Madam Gu had a teasing smile on her face: “You young couple don’t care, so why should an old woman like me care?”

Gu Baozhu spoke through the window: “Third brother is an old-fashioned person. If you follow his lead, he will become more and more demanding and control you completely.”

“What do you know, little kid?”

Madam Gu spat.

Gu Baozhu swept in with the wind, and without even greeting Old Madam Gu, she took Qin Yuan’s hand and said, “Third sister-in-law, you have to give me some advice.”

He then told the story in one breath without taking a breath.

Qin Yuan said: “This is your third brother’s fault.”

Gu Baozhu was happy then, and turned to Madam Gu and said, “Look, mother, even the third sister-in-law said that it was the third brother’s fault.”

Madam Gu said, “You only have me in your eyes now.”

Gu Baozhu smiled and said, “It has always been like that, but just now my third and sixth brothers were too irritating, so I was anxious to find my third sister-in-law to seek justice.”

Madam Gu said, “It’s fine for your sixth brother. You asked him to paint. If he’s not happy with the painting, that’s his business. Your third brother has nothing better to do, so why would he interfere in your affairs?”

Qin Yuan smiled and said, “It’s all for Baozhu. He’s worried that Baozhu’s ten beauties will get out. If someone presents them to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chooses one of them to enter the Eastern Palace, then everyone will blame Baozhu.”

“That won’t do,” Madam Gu turned to Gu Baozhu and said, “Your third brother is currently favored by the Emperor and is handling the important matters of the Imperial Examination. You also know how this assignment came about. Isn’t it because the legitimate daughters of the three dukes and nine ministers were unwilling to participate in the election of the Crown Princess?”

Gu Baozhu was stunned, and after a while she said, “There are so many twists and turns hidden in this. No wonder Third Brother got angry when he heard that the prince wanted to choose a stunning beauty.”

“Sister Baozhu, please don’t mention this in the future. If your words get out, and this picture is included, people will say that Dingbei Marquis’s Mansion is wrongly taking advantage of the Crown Prince. I’m afraid you won’t be able to get away with the label of flattery.”

Gu Baozhu stamped her feet and said, “This You Da is really harmful. Third sister-in-law, didn’t you just say that it was all Third Brother’s fault?”

Qin Yuan said sternly, “Of course it’s all his fault. He was clearly doing this for your own good, but he didn’t tell you the truth because of your friendship with You Da. This is his fault.”

outside the window.

Mr. Gu Liu whispered to Mr. Gu Hou, “It turns out that Third Brother is so thoughtful.” Mr. Gu Hou coughed lightly and did not respond.

He had never expected so much from what his wife said.

But his wife said he thought of it, so he did think of it.

Master Gu Liu looked at Master Gu Hou with eyes full of admiration.

Just like when he was a child, Lord Gu took him to climb trees to steal bird eggs and was beaten by his elder brother.

inside the house.

Gu Baozhu was deeply moved. “Third sister-in-law, you are too partial to me. I have always said that we are the best in the world. Third sister-in-law, please take me with you to do business in the future. I have counted out my little capital. If you make pepper, I will make pepper. If you make Sichuan pepper, I will make Sichuan pepper too. We will be good sisters-in-law for the rest of our lives and never leave each other.”

By the end, it seemed as if they were going to go through fire and water together.

I don’t know where he learned this chivalrous spirit from.

Madam Gu frowned and said worriedly, “Oh my God, when will you be more careful? Is this so difficult? You are angry and making a fuss. If your third sister-in-law hadn’t mediated, wouldn’t you have been at odds with your third brother?”

Qin Yuan laughed.

Gu Baozhu said: “How would I know? Maybe when she was pregnant with me, she didn’t eat enough pig hearts, beef hearts, chicken hearts, etc., so she lacked this.”

Qin Yuan glanced quickly at Old Madam Gu.

There was some sadness and pity in Madam Gu’s eyes, and she forced a smile and said, “Baozhu, come to mother’s place. I will have someone cook more pig heart soup for you in the future.”

Lord Gu opened the curtain and came in, followed closely by Lord Gu Liu.

“Mom, I think we should cook her some boiled brains.”

“How do you eat that?”

Before Gu Baozhu could say anything, Old Madam Gu objected.

Lord Gu said, “I have seen people in Bashu eat hot pot with spicy oil to remove dampness. It is said that this thing tastes good when cooked in it. Ordinary people cannot eat it. How can there be so much pig brain? I heard that the ancient emperors ate monkey heads, so Baozhu should eat pig heads.”

No matter how dumb Gu Baozhu was, she could tell that her third brother was slandering her, but since she was in the wrong, she wisely kept silent, only secretly rolling her eyes and making faces.

Madam Gu said, “Baozhu, Sister Lan has been asking about you since this morning. She misses you as her aunt. You should go over and see her.”

Gu Baozhu had a reason to get out of this situation, and was overjoyed, “I know.”

After speaking, he ran away.

As soon as Gu Baozhu left, Madam Gu stopped smiling and asked Marquis Gu, “Brother Hui, how is the investigation of the family temple going? What about the Mo family?”

Qin Yuan also looked at Lord Gu.

Lord Gu sighed, walked over to sit beside Qin Yuan, picked up her tea and drank half of it, then said, “Mother, you also feel sorry for your son. I just came back and haven’t even had a sip of tea, and you are asking me questions like a machine gun.”

Madam Gu glanced at him and said, “How old are you? You are still acting like a spoiled child in front of your wife and your brother. Don’t make jokes here. Just tell me what you found out. I can handle it.”

Master Gu Liu sat down opposite him and looked at Master Gu Hou.

Lord Gu cleared his throat and said, “Thanks to Madam’s alertness, Monk Zhiguang and his master have unknown origins and have buried many silver ingots under the temple over the years. The prosecutor of Jingzhao Yinfu is investigating.”
