Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 74

Ling Yuxuan stayed with Sixth Sister for a long time before leaving. He told Xiao Wenqing to learn more from his Sixth Sister's side, and try to get back the girly education that had been abandoned for many years.

Xiao Wenqing understood Ling Yuxuan's painstaking efforts, how could she give up the opportunity to grow herself?She naturally agreed, and just asked him, when can he take a long vacation and accompany her back home to find relatives?She knew that only with her mother's acknowledgment could she truly recover her identity, and only with the acknowledgment of both parents could she and Ling Yuxuan marry.

When the heat was no longer particularly hot in the evening, Mrs. Liu personally took Xiao Wenqing to the small Guixiang yard on the west side of her yard.The Guixiang Courtyard is small and exquisite, with a pond of clear water in front of it, and five or six lush osmanthus trees behind it. Inside, there is a two-story wooden building with cornices, and two osmanthus trees are planted beside the wooden building.

"Wenqing, this is the embroidery building where my eldest daughter lived before she got married, and no one has lived in it since then." Mrs. Liu said, "I tidied up this small courtyard in a hurry. There may be some places that haven't been tidied up yet. You should stay here first." If you need anything, let the servants in the yard do it." The eldest daughter is the concubine's concubine.

How could Xiao Wenqing, who was penniless and didn't even have a place to live after leaving the Zhao family, have any objections?She hurriedly said: "Madam is too polite. Wen Qing is lonely and helpless in the capital. Madam is very grateful for her willingness to take her in."

Mrs. Liu said: "You are brought by my fourth brother, I will take good care of you." As she spoke, she smiled softly at Xiao Wenqing.

Xiao Wenqing's cheeks were flushed by her bold words, and she lowered her head slightly in shame.

"I have already arranged two maids and four daughter-in-laws in this courtyard, so you can rest assured and study hard." Mrs. Liu said, the purpose of her fourth brother sending this girl here is to hope that she can learn in a short time. Train this girl to be a lady of the family who can stand on the stage.

"Ma'am, Wenqing is dull, please give me some pointers if there are any mistakes." Xiao Wenqing said, and bowed to Madam Liu.She will study hard, hoping to regain lost time.

Mrs. Liu nodded and said with a smile: "As long as you put your heart into it, you will definitely become a dignified and elegant lady, and you will definitely not lose to those daughters of aristocratic families."

Ling Yuxuan was the youngest child of her father, Prime Minister Ling, and he was also the eldest son, but because of reasons she didn't know, the marriage had been dragging on.Now he has picked a girl he likes and is determined to marry him as his wife.The most important thing for officials and officials is to be in the same family. It is not easy for him and this daughter of the late magistrate who has a rough life and low status to cultivate a good result.

Xiao Wenqing bowed her head humbly and listened to Mrs. Liu's words.

Mrs. Liu took Xiao Wenqing to see the embroidery building, and then took a walk in the garden of the back house. "Wen Qing, I don't have many other things in Liu Hanlin's mansion, but there are many books. The big study in the front yard belongs to the masters and young masters, so it's inconvenient for us to go there; There are all kinds of calligraphy and painting copybooks, if you like to read them, you can take a few and read them."

"Wenqing, Yuxuan said that when you were still with your parents, you were personally taught by them. You were knowledgeable and sensible, and you were superb female celebrities. Then, do you know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting? What about Zhongfu? Have you learned how to manage a family?" Liu The lady walked and asked.Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can be a bit short, but Zhongfu and family management must be mastered by the daughters of aristocratic families.

Xiao Wenqing hesitated for a moment, and said frankly: "Wen Qing learned a little bit of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting before the age of six, but since he was abducted, he seldom touched it. Now he is best at drawing embroidery patterns. Wen Qing used to serve Miss Huanglin Magistrate At that time, I sneaked a few copies of "Zhong Yulu" in the lady's room, accompanied the lady into the kitchen, and played a hand; when the magistrate's wife taught the lady how to manage the family, Wen Qing often stood aside and listened." She was not sure. Does Mrs. Liu know her real situation? She dare not say that during the more than a month of being Zhao's daughter-in-law, she has some cooking experience, and the dishes she cooks are often full of praise.

Mrs. Liu nodded and said: "Although you are my guest, since you are here to study, from tomorrow onwards, you will cook a dish for me every day. Don't worry about piano and chess. You have time to study slowly in the future; you have to read more books, otherwise you will not be able to communicate with other ladies of the family; and writing, you must at least have one hand that can be read by others. Every morning, I will teach you what the girls of the family must master Etiquette. As for family management, if you stay with me, you will naturally learn something." Although she already knows some basics about Xiao Wenqing, she still needs to know the specific level from the process of teaching her.But judging from the current situation, Xiao Wenqing is a promising talent.

Xiao Wenqing said gratefully, "Wenqing, please ask your wife to give her your heart. I don't know how to repay such a great kindness."

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "You are the girl who makes my fourth brother tempted, how can I not help?" Her fourth brother is the youngest son of her father Ling Chengxiang, and after the eldest son died of illness, he is the only direct heir.His father, Prime Minister Ling, put all his efforts into training him to be an all-rounder in civil and military affairs.He was chosen by the current emperor to be the Dragon Scale Guard. With his own ability, he has been promoted all the way, and he has a bright future in the future.Although she helped her fourth brother take care of Xiao Wenqing, an orphan girl in distress, and offended her by not revealing any news to her aunt, but being able to make friends with her fourth brother would definitely benefit her husband's family and sons.
