My Sister Insisted on Swapping Marriages, and I Became a Marchioness Instead Chapter 97: Praise, Praise, Praise, Praise, Praise

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback and looked at Marquis Gu.

At this mont, Marquis Gu’s jade-white face was tinged with a light blush, perhaps due to the warmth of the drink. The blue-green gauze robe was open at the collar, and the sleeves were casually rolled up. His usually sharp brows were relaxed and lowered, gently gazing at the wine cup in his hand, his whole persona exuding an indescribable elegance and leisure.

We’re all usually about horseback riding, dog fighting, martial arts, and training troops, without much eloquence to praise soone.

We can only say, the General is truly dashingly handso.

No matter how you look at him, you can’t get enough.

Marquis Gu’s handso face is usually hidden behind a large beard; though we all saw him on the day of the marriage, looking again, we still find him exceedingly striking.

Recalling that fleeting glimpse in the bridal chamber, we can’t help but feel slightly envious.

The Marchioness is also indescribably beautiful; if one could marry such a wife, even if she kicked and hit us daily, she’d still be worshiped as a Bodhisattva.

Yet the General sohow thinks she’s too clingy.

Indeed...

General Jin said, "The General is full of vigor; surely the lady loves the General deeply. General, let remind you, won can’t be too far nor too close; if you treat her too well, she’ll lose perspective. Even Lord Kong said that only villains and won are difficult to keep well. The more a woman is devoted to a man, the more she likes to cling to him, wishing to entangle him tightly, so within a hundred feet, no other woman may enter. I myself had suffered greatly when I took my first concubine; the tigress at ho nearly took a knife to slaughter ."

Everyone burst into laughter.

General Jin continued, "In my household, that tigress could only be subdued by . When she was young, she was also quite a spitfire; now she’s ek and obedient, never dares to lose her temper, and the concubines at ho behave themselves. I’m not one to favor concubines over the wife; although I do pamper them, I never allow them to overstep and challenge the lady."

Everyone agreed: "Exactly."

Marquis Gu coughed lightly and said, "... My lady naturally loves deeply, thinks of in every way, her heart and eyes full of . She isn’t the jealous type, speaks softly and pleasingly..."

General Jin remained silent, picked up his wine cup, and drank it dry.

Marquis Gu dusted off his clothes and casually said, "Everything I eat, wear, and use every day is ticulously cared for by the lady. Before coming to the Great Camp, the lady couldn’t bear to part with , delicately organized all the clothes and accessories I would need daily, placed them by day, stored them in the box, and instructed the servant to remind to eat and change clothes on ti. I’m used to doing this myself, not being so ticulous and pampered, right?"

General Jin remarked, slightly sourly, "No wonder the General didn’t wear military attire today; this outfit put together by the lady looks great."

Marquis Gu put down his wine cup, slightly impatiently said, "Yes, when I’m at ho, she insists on serving in dressing and undressing, personally tying the pocket, small seal, and Jade Pendant on , so leisurely, it’s really quite trying."

Several faces twisted slightly.

What a celestial life.

And yet he complains.

General Jin: "..."

Absolutely speechless.

Marquis Gu, helplessly said, "I really can’t do anything about her; she’s so much younger than , being the daughter of a civil servant’s family, so delicate. If I don’t agree, what if she cries? I don’t know how to console her, so I let her be. However, the attire she chooses really looks much better."

His long eyes scanned the dazed subordinates, Marquis Gu proudly picked up his wine cup, took a sip, and said, "You simply can’t imagine, such a frail person actually argues for my sake with my sixth-brother’s wife and sister. My sister, who’s always been arrogant and reckless, is completely subdued by her. Outside gossip spreads that Brother Cheng and Sister Yu are my children; they even claid I would marry Lady Zhao as a concubine after getting married. My sister and sixth-brother’s wife believed it, but the lady didn’t believe a word and even felt sorry for , saying I was solely focused on repaying kindness and ended up being misrepresented by the public, truly aggrieved on my behalf."

Marquis Gu lanted, "And you know, such a young, fragile lady truly does anything to protect , and she’s not afraid of my mother getting angry."

The subordinates were slightly confused; how co the rumor about Lady Zhao being taken into the General Mansion is false?

This... this... this...

Besides, it’s inescapably envious.

They used to show off in front of the General, but today the General shows off, really making one’s teeth ache with envy.

General Jin swiftly said, "The General has married a virtuous wife, indeed I toast the General."

Everyone echoed, "Exactly, exactly, we heard the lady is the daughter of the National Academy Sacrificial Officer, quite learned, drink up, drink up."

Marquis Gu happily drank a cup, set down the cup, and seriously said, "My father-in-law’s erudition need not be elaborated, after all, he is the Sacrificial Officer of the Imperial College. My lady learned at her father’s side from an early age and is incredibly talented, you would never guess she not only writes poetry but retells book stories so eloquently, my mother even says there’s truth in her words, saying I’m truly blessed to have married her. At night, while drinking tea and listening to insect chirps, she effortlessly connects it to poetry, though I don’t quite understand, it’s truly delightful. Scholars are indeed different."

Everyone: "..."

Marquis Gu, unprompted, poured another cup for himself, drank it, and continued, "My father-in-law even gifted a book, urging to read it well and strive to be a Confucian General like Lu Xun from Three Kingdoms. Originally, I was reluctant to read it, but the lady said even Guan Yunchang read this book."

As Guan Yunchang was ntioned, everyone perked up.

Marquis Gu sighed and said, "I realized my father-in-law is truly thoughtful; back then, Cao Cao tested Guan Yunchang’s loyalty to Liu Bei, and Guan Yunchang read through the night, which earned Cao Cao’s admiration. We military generals admire no one more than Mr. Guan, isn’t it? This book must be read thoroughly, even during leisure tis in the camp, so as not to disappoint the lady and father-in-law. In the future, perhaps we’ll strive to be Confucian Generals like Lu Xun."

Everyone: "..."

Completely speechless, just can’t get a word in.

"With such a lady and such a Yue Family, naturally, you could," General Jin and others raised their glasses in envy, toasting once more.

They were struggling to continue drinking.

The General didn’t marry for a long ti, and when he did, he married such a perfect one.

Indeed... the General is truly a General, inspiring awe and admiration in all around.

Filled with spirits, soone winked at Marquis Gu, saying, "As the saying goes, fight by the bedside, make up at the foot, Marquis is heroic beyond compare, the lady is obedient and devoted, surely her heart would be set on the Marquis, couldn’t bear to be apart even in the Great Camp."

General Jin spat at him, saying, "What do you know, Marquis has trained in martial arts since childhood, practiced virgin skills, even after marriage, Marquis can still restrain himself, unlike what you can compare to?"

Gu Jinghui: "?"
