Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 55

"Sister-in-law Xu, you're back." Xiao Wenqing immediately stood up to welcome her, and let out a soft breath.The old lady and the girl of the Xu family are both funny people, and some of the words are even more nasty, which makes her cheeks flush and ears hot because of people who know more about intercourse but have never experienced it because of her foreseeing dreams.

"Wenqing, you are here to play." Mrs. Xu looked at Xiao Wenqing in surprise, "It seems that you are doing well in the Zhao family." Xiao Wenqing was a little fatter than the day she was sold, her skin was fair and tender, and her cheeks were rosy. The crystal eyes are shining brightly, and the small lips are plump and moist.Sure enough, she has the capital to make Mrs. He hate her.

"Sister-in-law Xu, I'm here to return your clothes." Xiao Wenqing said, pointing to the cloth bag on the table.

"Those are old clothes, you don't have to return them." Mrs. Xu said, greeted her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and then pulled Xiao Wenqing to sit down.

Seeing that they wanted to talk, the old lady of the Xu family and the girl of the Xu family found an excuse to go out, and restrained the children playing in the yard from going in to disturb them.

"Sister-in-law Xu." Xiao Wenqing asked eagerly, "I asked Mingtang to ask Mr. Xu to tell you, please help me find out about Mrs. He's personal servant girl Chunli. Do you have any news?"

Mrs. Xu knew Xiao Wenqing's urgency, she nodded her head and said, "The kitchen in the backyard is relatively close to Da Furen's Xie Fang Yuan, and some things are indeed easy to spread to the kitchen. I heard from Zhao's mother in Xie Fang Yuan that Da Furen wants to go to the Spring Festival. Li Li became the eldest son's concubine, but the eldest son disagreed, and only wanted to accept Chunli as a housemaid. The eldest lady had no choice but to open Chunli's face, take it to the old lady's side, and then continue to stay by her side The Da Furen was kind to Chun Li, rewarding her with gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, increasing her monthly salary, and letting her live in a room alone."

Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "Although Chunli is a housemaid, as long as Da Furen likes her, she probably won't have to worry about it for the rest of her life." The lady is regarded as a confidant.

"Sister Chunli has been serving the young lady since she was ten years old. She grew up with the young lady, and the relationship between master and servant is not shallow." Xiao Wenqing said, slightly relieved.Chunli is different from her, Chunli has always been liked by young ladies.If Miss is unable or does not want to conceive and give birth, maybe Chun Li will be used to conceive and give birth instead of her.For Chun Li, the young lady probably wouldn't be able to leave the mother and keep the child.

"Personal life is different." Mrs. Xu said with emotion.At the same time, as a dowry maid, the eldest lady hated Wenqing and cruelty, but she had some sincerity and trust in Chunli.

"Yes." Xiao Wenqing said.Chunli had accepted the reality that the dowry maid became the uncle's housemaid from the very beginning, and now she would not feel too uncomfortable being accepted by the uncle.

"Sister-in-law, if Chunli comes into the kitchen, can you help me pass the message to her, just say that I'm married and living a good life now." Xiao Wenqing pleaded.When she has money in hand, she will find a way to prepare some gifts and entrust Aunt Xu to give them to Chunli as her apology.

"Okay." Mrs. Xu said.Chun Li was rushed into the eldest son's room at that time, if Xiao Wenqing ignored Chun Li, she would feel that she was helping the wrong person.

After Xiao Wenqing got the news of Chunli, she got up and said goodbye.Everyone in the Xu family also knew that it was not good for a young woman to go home too late, and they didn't want to keep any guests, so they let her go back.

When I came here, I was nervous and worried, but when I went back, I felt less guilty. Xiao Wenqing felt relaxed, so she walked and watched on the street.

Seeing Moxiang Pavilion, she hesitated for a moment before walking in.

The scribes and scholars in Moxiang Pavilion were taken aback when they saw a young daughter-in-law walking in.The shop waiter immediately stepped forward and asked: "Lady, do you want to buy a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for your husband?" The little lady who came in looked sixteen or seventeen years old. Even if she had a son, his son had not yet reached the age of enlightenment.

Xiao Wenqing nodded slightly, and asked, "Xiaoer, I want to buy a set of the Four Treasures of the Study. Is there a cheaper one?" She explained, "It's for a child who has just started enlightenment. It doesn't need to be fancy."

The waiter heard the words, nodded and said: "I understand, please wait a moment, little lady."

He quickly walked into the counter, brought a pen, ink and inkstone together, and said: "These are cheap and practical, and they cost one or two or four coins. Rice paper, how much knife do you need? We calculate by knife here, different quality The price of rice paper is different. Different kinds of defective rice paper are better for enlightening children, and they are also the cheapest.”

Xiao Wenqing said, "How much is a piece of defective rice paper?"

"Defective rice papers are all bought together, and a piece of defective rice paper is seven coins." The waiter said.

Knowing the arrogance of literati, Xiao Wenqing disdained haggling the most, so she took out a small pouch from her bosom and poured out all the broken silver and copper coins inside.

The waiter in the shop immediately asked the shopkeeper to bring a small scale to weigh the broken silver, and then took down two taels of silver.

Holding a pen, ink, paper and inkstone wrapped in useless old paper and a piece of defective rice paper, Xiao Wenqing went home full of joy.
