Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 54

On the fourth day, Zhao's mother looked forward to it in the evening, but Zhao Mingtang still didn't come back.She was very dissatisfied, and said to Xiao Wenqing: This bastard doesn't even think about it, he is a man with a family now, there is no need to always take over for other guards and let him sleep with his wife and son at night.

Xiao Wenqing pursed her lips and smiled slightly.Zhao Mingtang has a special secret identity, other guards cannot compare with him.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law is worried about Sister Chunli, and wants to go to Auntie Xu's house tomorrow afternoon, okay?" Xiao Wenqing asked.Mrs. Xu has to help in the kitchen in the backyard of the Yushi Mansion, and she can only get home in the evening.There is a long way from Yanzi Street where the Zhao family is to Wutong Lane where the Xu family is, so she has to go to Xu's house to wait in advance, and then return to Zhao's house before dark.

Zhao's mother already knew about Chunli, and she nodded and said, "Well, just come back early tomorrow evening." Beautiful.

The next afternoon, Xiao Wenqing tidied herself up and wrapped up the clothes that Aunt Xu lent her.She was about to go out when Zhao's mother took out two packs of pastries she bought on the street this morning and handed them to her, "Wen Qing, Shiwei Xu and Ming Tang are colleagues and good brothers, and he and Mrs. Xu are your great favor, so you come to the door You can’t empty your hands, you bring the red bean cake and sweet-scented osmanthus cake.”

Zhao's mother took out a small blue purse and said, "There are a few broken pieces of silver and a dozen copper coins in here. If you see something on the street, you can buy it."

She looked at Xiao Wenqing's cloudy bun, and said, "Young people, don't be too plain. If you see a salesman selling silk flowers and hairpins, buy two and exchange them. You should also buy some rouge and gouache." On Xiao Wenqing's hair was inserted a hollow flower and bird silver hairpin and a silver step rock with green pearls in the mouth of a flying swallow, as well as the somewhat yellowed pearl earrings that she had been wearing all the time.The gold bracelet she gave to Xiao Wenqing, Xiao Wenqing said it was too expensive, so she took it off and wrapped it up and put it under the suitcase in the Mingtang room.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law doesn't need to buy anything, you'd better keep the money." Xiao Wenqing politely declined and refused to accept the small purse.Now her food, clothing and housing belong to the Zhao family, and she can no longer spend the Zhao family's money.Two days ago, my mother-in-law said that she could try to embroider some handkerchiefs and make some small tube tops and send them to the embroidery workshop. If people are willing to accept them, she can earn some hand money.

"You child, have you seen someone else again?" Zhao's mother pretended to be angry, "You are my daughter-in-law, and if I give you money, you can spend it confidently." These days she has been secretly observing Xiao Wenqing, thinking that she is quiet, virtuous, and knowledgeable. I also have some trust in her.Moreover, Xiao Wenqing had no one to rely on in the capital, and his hometown was thousands of miles away, so it was impossible for him to escape from the Zhao family.As long as she wins Xiao Wenqing's heart with all her heart, Xiao Wenqing will stay in Zhao's house and give birth to her son.

Xiao Wenqing also knew that Zhao's mother was feigning anger, so she took the small purse respectfully, and said, "My daughter-in-law obeys." As she spoke, she carefully stuffed the small purse into her arms.

Zhao's mother sent Xiao Wenqing out, and said: "Young daughter-in-law should be careful when going out alone, try to walk on the street, don't go into the alley. Come back earlier."

Xiao Wenqing nodded and said: "Mother, don't worry, my daughter-in-law will come back well." Her face was disfigured, and she was still wearing a woman's hair bun. There should be no such thing as Deng Tuzi's teasing in the street.

Xiao Wenqing didn't know the capital city. After she went to the street, she recalled the route when she was sitting in a bridal sedan chair and the route Zhao Mingtang took her to thank the Xu family on the second day of their wedding, and found the Xu family.Mrs. Xu has not come back yet, the old lady of the Xu family and the girl from the Xu family entertained her and chatted with her.

When the girl from the Xu family returned to her natal home, she brought all her children with her. The three children were five years old, three years old and one year old.Mrs. Xu also has two children under the age of five.When the five children saw Xiao Wenqing bring the cakes, they drooled over the cakes and kept clamoring for them to eat.

The old lady of the Xu family smiled and decided to open the pastry wrapper, let the children eat it, and gave it to Xiao Wenqing and her daughter to taste.

"Wenqing, you might have a child next year." The old lady of the Xu family, who was holding the youngest granddaughter in her arms, said with a smile, and couldn't help looking at Xiao Wenqing's face.Other than the birthmark and scars, Zhao Mingtang's face can still be seen. This young lady of the Zhao family has a beautiful face, fair skin and tender skin. If she gave birth to a girl, she might look like her.

Xiao Wenqing nodded shyly, lowered her head slightly, and carefully talked with Xu's mother and daughter.

Seeing Xiao Wenqing's shyness, the mother and daughter of the Xu family smiled, and the old lady Zhao kept teasing her.

Xiao Wenqing was so teased by them that she blushed and fidgeted, if she hadn't waited for Mrs. Xu, she would have stood up and said goodbye.Fortunately, it didn't take long for Mrs. Xu to come back.
