Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 75

Although Xiao Wenqing didn't know that she couldn't guess Mrs. Liu's thoughts, but she knew that it was because of Ling Yuxuan that Mrs. Liu cared so much for her, and she was still very grateful to her. In the following time, she completely regarded Mrs. Liu as her female husband. Ask more to know, and imitate the elegant and dignified Mrs. Liu everywhere.

The sickle-like moon glows orange in the dark blue sky. Xiao Wenqing, who is wearing white silk pajamas in the bedroom on the east side of the second floor of Xiulou in Guixiang Courtyard, is still practicing calligraphy by candlelight. Show the next beautiful silhouette.

"Miss Xiao, why don't you go to rest earlier?" said Jing Jing, the first-class maid who was sent to serve Xiao Wenqing, and picked up the scissors to cut off part of the overlong wick on the candle.

"Crystal, I'll practice calligraphy for a while. You can bring some water in later, and then go to rest. I don't need someone to watch the night." Xiao Wenqing said, she knows the hardships of being a maid, and she is also dependent on others now, and she doesn't want to trouble others .It's just that Mrs. Liu still needs to cultivate her aura of being a master, and she must have some young lady's demeanor during the day.

"Miss Xiao, Madam said don't be too anxious, take everything slowly." Jing Jing persuaded, and she and another maid, Manao, took turns serving Xiao Wenqing after nightfall.Miss Xiao is very gentle, and is very kind to the maids and daughter-in-laws assigned to her.

"Well, I got it, I'll go to sleep when I practice one more sheet." Xiao Wenqing said, carefully practicing calligraphy against the copybook that Mrs. Liu carefully selected for her.The gold-plated magpie peach blossom aromatherapy burner at her feet is emitting green smoke, driving away mosquitoes in summer nights.

Crystal didn't persuade her much, and went downstairs to fetch water according to Xiao Wenqing's instructions.

After writing the last piece of writing, Xiao Wenqing put down the brush, carefully checked the handwriting he wrote, and felt that his handwriting had improved a lot recently.

"Miss Xiao, the water is here." Crystal came up with warm water.

Xiao Wenqing went over to wash her hands and face, then walked behind the heavy white gauze curtain that had been put down, and entered the pear blossom and crabapple bed hung with two insect repellent sachets.

"Miss Xiao, rest well." Crystal said, "I'm right next door, call me if you need something." She said, carefully pressing the white gauze bed curtain under Xiangfei's bamboo mat, and then slowly left with a candle.

The cool bed was filled with the cool scent of mint. Xiao Wenqing lay with her eyes closed, but she was recalling what she had learned throughout the day in her mind.

When Mrs. Zhao was teaching Xiao Wenqing, she discovered that Xiao Wenqing had the ability of photographic memory.Give her an article, and she can recite it word for word immediately after reading it twice.Master will always be happy when meeting smart apprentices, and then work harder to teach, so Mrs. Zhao also arranges piano and chess lessons, and strives to teach Xiao Wenqing to be a perfect woman, so that her aunt will not be able to find fault with Xiao Wenqing in the future Come.

In the early morning, Xiao Wenqing had already woken up before the servant girl came in to serve her. Lying on the bed, she recalled what she had learned yesterday, and then decided to cook a dish for Mrs. Zhao today.Cooking skills, although women from rich and noble families do not have to cook by themselves, they still need to be mastered.

"Miss Xiao, we're coming in." The servant girl, Crystal Agate, reported first from outside the door, and after getting the consent of Xiao Wenqing inside, she came in with toiletries.

Xiao Wenqing was served by them, and after breakfast, he went to Mrs. Liu's courtyard to pay her respects.

The population of Liu Hanlin's mansion is not large. Liu Shaohan, a fourth-rank official in Hanlin, has one wife and one concubine, and has three sons and three daughters.The deceased Yuan's wife gave birth to an eldest son, his stepwife had a son and two daughters, and his concubine was his childhood sweetheart, who had his second son and eldest daughter.The little concubine, Mrs. Liu, has a docile personality and is very law-abiding. She rarely has conflicts with Mrs. Liu, who is fair.Because she is also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, and she has some sympathy with Mrs. Liu, so the back house of Liu Hanlin's mansion has a harmony of wives and concubines that is rarely seen in a back house in the capital.

"Good morning, Aunt Liu." When Aunt Liu came to greet Madam Liu, Xiao Wenqing, who was answering Madam Liu's exam questions, nodded to Aunt Liu.During these days, Aunt Liu also came to give her some advice on poetry, books and articles.Aunt Liu is good at Guqin and taught her how to play Guqin.

"Miss Xiao." Aunt Liu nodded her head in gratitude, and then greeted Mrs. Liu who was sitting on the arhat chair.Her daughter is Liu Hanlin's eldest daughter and is married.Mrs. Liu found a young gentleman with a good family background for the eldest daughter of a concubine, and also bought a generous dowry equivalent to marrying a concubine's daughter, so she is very grateful to Mrs. Liu.

"Pei Lan, sit down and drink tea, and play the piano after Wenqing finishes explaining the Book of Rites." Mrs. Liu said pleasantly, pointing to the seat below her right.

"Thank you Madam for your seat." Aunt Liu said, she got up and walked to the high-back chair to sit down, listening carefully to Madam Liu and Madam Liu's questions and answers.A lady of aristocratic family does not need to study the Four Books and Five Classics, but it is also good to dabble a little.Xiao Wenqing's female celebrity was inspected by her and Mrs. Liu, and she thought it was very good. Xiao Wenqing only needed to learn a few more new styles of clothes tailoring in Beijing.

Mrs. Liu was very satisfied with Xiao Wenqing's answers today, so she asked someone to bring over her parasol guqin for Xiao Wenqing to play.

The sound of the piano was melodious and simple, sometimes as clear as splashing jade, and sometimes as tangled as a dragon's chant. Aunt Liu listened attentively, with a satisfied smile on her face.This Miss Xiao has an amazing memory. She can memorize a piece of music as long as she plays it three times.As long as I teach her the playing skills myself, she can basically master it three or four times.Where did Madam find a peerless and intelligent girl?It's a pity that the famous flower already has a master, otherwise it could be assigned to the two young masters of the Hanlin Mansion.
