Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 50

"Mother, I understand." Xiao Wenqing immediately reached out and took the bamboo basket with the green cloth and brown sugar on his arm.

Zhao Mingtang, who was wearing the clothes of a guard, took the pig's head tied with a straw rope, led Xiao Wenqing and Zhao's mother to part, and walked towards Xu Qian's house.

"My lord, are you going back to Yushifu tomorrow?" The two walked together, Xiao Wenqing took the initiative to find something to say.

"En." Zhao Mingtang nodded and said, "Although the guards are free on weekdays, they can't often take vacations."

Xiao Wenqing was a little flattered.Is this because she has become his wife, so he treats her well?After hesitating for a while, Xiao Wenqing tentatively asked: "My lord, what do you like to eat? I will learn how to make it for you?" Her mother said that although she has not learned it, she has eaten it and knows how to serve it. You can try it. do it.

Zhao Mingtang also wanted to understand each other with his wife, but now was not the time, so he had to say: "Go ask your mother, she knows me better than me."

"Oh." Xiao Wenqing asked again, "Does your lord mind my face? I'm disfigured." She thought that Zhao Mingtang, who was also disfigured, would not judge people by their appearance.

"I don't mind, but a woman is no better than a man. It's not good to be disfigured. I'll try to find a good doctor to show you, and see if I can remove this scar." Zhao Mingtang said.If he had agreed to her marriage proposal in the first place, maybe she wouldn't have lost her face.But at that time, what qualifications and obligations did he have to help a dowry maid in the back house?

"Remove the scars?" Xiao Wenqing was stunned for a moment, and said, "The old doctor who treated me said that my wounds were deep at that time, and I would definitely leave obvious scars. Ordinary doctors are incapable, only the royal doctor in the palace can do it." Can make ointment to help traumatized women get rid of scars."

Is it the imperial physician in the palace?

Zhao Mingtang's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said, "The capital city is at the foot of the emperor. Dragons and tigers have always been hidden. The medical skills of the folk doctors may not be worse than the imperial doctors in the palace."

"Maybe, if you want to meet that kind of doctor who hides his secrets, you also need to see chance." Xiao Wenqing said calmly.Disfigurement was part of her calculation, she accepted the fact that she was going to be disfigured the moment she decided to scratch her face.It was just a finger-length flesh-colored scar, not disfigured, as long as Zhao Mingtang didn't care about her appearance.The lady's dislike for her let her know that it is better for a woman of low status to be ordinary.

"Which weapon is your lord best at, a knife or a sword?" Xiao Wenqing asked suddenly.In the middle of the night, he was dressed in black and had a long sword behind his back. Depending on the situation, he was better at wielding a sword.

Zhao Mingtang's heart trembled, and he said vigilantly: "I use a knife." When did she see him use a sword?unless……

"Oh." Xiao Wenqing snorted.He didn't tell the truth, unless she misread the wrong person in the middle of the night.But... Although the voice is not the same, but the figure, eyes, and her feeling, it is certain that the masked man in black is him.

Why did he keep it a secret from his wife?

Is he the legendary flying robber, assassin, hidden guard, or something else?

Xiao Wenqing was full of doubts.But she knew that her husband Zhao Mingtang still didn't trust her and would not tell her the truth.She was not curious enough to know all the secrets of her husband.It's just that, whether it's a flying thief, an assassin, or a hidden guard, they are all shady. She can only hope that he will be safe for the rest of his life, and that one day he will disappear forever, leaving her and her mother in despair.

26 Daily life after marriage

Zhao Mingtang and Xiao Wenqing came to the Xu family, and the elders of the Xu family warmly received them.Xu Qian went to work as an errand, and Mrs. Xu also went to help in the kitchen of Yushifu.Xu Qian will not come back at night, and Mrs. Xu will not go home until the dinner is ready for the Yushi Mansion in the evening.

Zhao Mingtang and Xiao Wenqing said some words of thanks, left the matchmaker gift at Xu's house and left.The Zhao family's make-up wedding banquet in the evening, the Xu family and his wife were unable to attend, Xiao Wenqing reckoned that when Zhao Mingtang returned to Yushi's errand, he would invite the guard brothers to have another table.

On the way home, Xiao Wenqing said: "My lord, when you see Uncle Xu tomorrow, can you ask him to tell Mrs. Xu to inquire about Mrs. He's dowry maid Chunli?"

Xiao Wenqing paused, and said sadly: "The night before yesterday, Miss ordered me to serve my uncle, but I refused, and my uncle got angry. In order to appease my uncle, Miss asked Sister Chun Li to serve my uncle. I am sorry for Miss Chun Li, and I hope to know her recent situation. "Chun Li was in pain at the first night, will Miss comfort her?Miss will arrange Chunli as my uncle's second concubine?Uncle willing?If she hadn't refused, Chun Li would never have suffered such a big crime.Her current stable life is the result of Chunli's suffering, and she cannot forget Chunli.

"En." Zhao Mingtang nodded.

When the two returned home, Zhao's mother had already bought vegetables and was busy in the kitchen. She also bought fine wine for the wedding banquet in the evening.Xiao Wenqing immediately went into the kitchen to help, and Zhao Mingtang, the head of the family, went back to the house to wait.

In the afternoon, Zhao's mother said to Zhao Mingtang: "Mingtang, your clothes are old, I'll make you two."

"Mother, there's no need, the guards have special clothes." Zhao Mingtang politely declined.Official guards are paid by officials, and the imperial court can requisition them at any time. The only expenditure the imperial court spends on official guards is four sets of custom-made black guard uniforms in spring and summer.

"I want to make you underwear and trousers." Mother Zhao smiled, "Come on, stand up and let me measure you." She looked at Zhao Mingtang and said, "It's been a long time since I measured you. I found that you have lost weight and become taller."

Zhao Mingtang immediately said: "Mother, I already have a wife, so you don't make clothes for me anymore." After saying that, he got up and walked quickly into his west room.

"Hahahaha, I have a daughter-in-law, so I don't have to worry about it." Zhao's mother laughed out loud, and then asked Xiao Wenqing, "Wenqing, can you make clothes?" Female red is a skill that every woman must master.

"A little bit, mother." Xiao Wenqing said.When she was with her parents, her mother taught her how to embroider and took out scraps of cloth for her to scale down to make clothes.When she was serving her sick father at his bedside, she specially made a set of clothes for him. Later, that set of clothes was designated by his father as one of his funeral shrouds, and was worn next to his body.When serving Mrs. Liu and Ms. Liu, she and Chunli embroidered purses to make tube tops in their spare time. Even the miss also specified patterns for them to make clothes for her to wear.

"Okay, since this is the case, you will be the one to make the clothes for Ming Tang. If there is something you can't do, just ask your mother." Mother Zhao said.After she has a daughter-in-law, life can be more leisurely.

"Yes, mother." Xiao Wenqing nodded, she still has some confidence in her female celebrity.
