Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 51

Mother Zhao went back to the east room and brought her sewing basket and handed it to Xiao Wenqing, "You use it for now. After two days, I will go to the street with you to buy a larger sewing basket, and then buy scissors, rulers and needles and threads."

"Thank you, mother." Xiao Wenqing took Zhao's mother's sewing basket with both hands.

Zhao's mother said: "I'll visit my neighbors, invite them to come over for a wedding banquet in the evening, and borrow tables, stools, bowls and chopsticks from them." The tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks of ordinary common people's homes are just enough, and they are used for big things. Borrow from neighbors.

"Mother, after a while, I'll go over with the adults to help you move the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks." Xiao Wenqing said.

"No, in the afternoon, the neighbors will bring their own tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks to help arrange it." Mother Zhao paused and said in surprise, "Why do you still call your husband and son-in-law? Where are the rules of ordinary people? Calling adults It’s too outlandish, you can just call him Mingtang.”

Xiao Wenqing hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Mother said yes." Her mother also called her father by his first name back then, not adults or masters.

Mother Zhao went to a neighbor's house to visit. Xiao Wenqing walked into the west room with a sewing basket, and saw Zhao Mingtang lying on his side facing the bed, with his feet in shoes resting on the edge of the bed.

Xiao Wenqing probed in a low voice: "Mingtang, have you rested yet?"

"No." Zhao Mingtang sat up and asked, "Mother has gone out?" In fact, he was lying in the west room and could hear the conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the main room.

"Well, mother went to visit neighbors, borrowed tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, and invited them to come to our house for a wedding in the evening." Xiao Wenqing said, put the sewing basket in his hand on the table next to the wall, and began to look through the tools inside.

"Oh." Zhao Mingtang responded.

Xiao Wenqing found the ruler, came to Zhao Mingtang, and said softly, "Mingtang, can you stand up, let me measure you so that you can make new clothes."

"Wenqing, I don't need it, you have done it for yourself." Zhao Mingtang said, although he did not personally see how Xiao Wenqing was sold by Mrs. He, it is estimated that she must have been sold directly wearing her own clothes. No time to pack up.The coat Xiao Wenqing is wearing now is either his mother's when she was young or borrowed from other places, so it is Xiao Wenqing who is most in need of clothes, not him.

"Mingtang, I will make it for myself first. I heard that you will come back in a few days, and I want to take your measurement first, and make it for you when I have time." Xiao Wenqing explained gently.She is determined to manage her own family, so she works hard to get close to Zhao Mingtang and let him accept her sincerely.

Zhao Mingtang heard it made sense, so he stood up, took two steps forward, and stood in front of Xiao Wenqing for her to measure.

Zhao Mingtang is relatively tall, Xiao Wenqing is considered to be of medium stature among maidservants of the same age, and the top of his head reaches a little above his chin.Taking a wooden ruler to measure his shoulder width, arm length and leg length, she was amazed at his perfect figure.My uncle's figure is considered good among young men, Zhao Mingtang is more slender and well-proportioned than my uncle's figure, and he is strong and powerful, like a leopard ready to go when standing still.It's a pity that the world loves to judge people by their appearance, and when they saw Zhao Mingtang's face, they directly classified him as an ugly and vulgar martial artist.

Taking note of Zhao Mingtang's size carefully, Xiao Wenqing asked: "Mingtang, besides the regular black clothes for the guards, what color clothes do you like to wear, round neck or cross collar?" He can always wear some casual clothes when he is not on duty, right?

"Whatever." Zhao Mingtang said, sitting back on the edge of the bed and looking at Xiao Wenqing, "Wenqing, are you still used to the life of the Zhao family? Although my mother is still healthy and can do housework, she will always grow old, and you will have to bear the burden." All the chores."

It was only the second day after she entered Zhao's house, did he get used to asking now?
Xiao Wenqing was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile: "Mingtang, don't worry, I have endured hardship." Apart from being angry, humiliated and punished as a maidservant of noble ladies, as long as she serves attentively, life is really easier and more comfortable than that of a commoner housewife.She doesn't know if other people's personal maids are like this. She and Chunli just wait on the young lady to comb her hair, dress her clothes, serve tea, send water, make the bed and make the bed, and accompany her around; Instruct the little maids around Miss to do things for her.

"I'm a bodyguard. To put it harshly, I'm a martial artist who works for others. Maybe one day...you can guard the Zhao family?" Zhao Mingtang asked, staring into Xiao Wenqing's eyes with piercing eyes.

Xiao Wenqing said calmly, "Mingtang, I told you when we first met, as long as you accept me, I swear to God that I will never betray you physically and mentally in this life." Out of interests, the family disapproves of the remarriage of their own widows.

This is a calm and persistent woman with ideas that most women don't have.

Zhao Mingtang was very satisfied with Xiao Wenqing, and said: "Wenqing, you will listen to my arrangements for everything in the future, and I will not disappoint your affection." Although Xiao Wenqing had the idea of ​​using him at first, since they have become husband and wife, he naturally To treat her well and protect her.

"Thank you." Xiao Wenqing laughed, looking bravely at each other.She doesn't need the fierce and fiery love in the vernacular. What she needs is a caring husband, a stable home, and a trickle of long-term love.

In the afternoon, Zhao's mother came home and asked Zhao Mingtang to move the tables and chairs to the yard one by one, and together with Xiao Wenqing, he and Xiao Wenqing took all the pots and pans that were not used much at home to the well to clean.

Some time later, the neighbors came one after another. Some of them brought tables, others brought stools, and some brought their own bowls and chopsticks. "Congratulations, congratulations." They congratulated Zhao's mother and Zhao Mingtang, and gave gifts of favor.

Mother Zhao led Xiao Wenqing, who had freshened up, to meet the neighbors she hadn't seen this morning, and said to those neighbors with a smile: Her daughter-in-law is very young, and everyone should take care of her in the future.

We are all neighbors and take care of each other on weekdays.

The neighbors were talking and laughing, waiting for Zhao Jiading's table to be delivered to their door.

In the evening, a waiter and a cook from Wanfu Restaurant came with a burden, and as soon as they came in, they went straight to the kitchen.As long as more money is given, the restaurant is still willing to deliver the noodles to the place designated by the customer.

The guests at the four tables sat down, Zhao Mingtang opened the altar and poured wine, thanking them for taking care of their mother and child in the past, today his family will hold a make-up banquet, hope everyone will have a good time.
