Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 77

Ling Yuxuan stretched his brows, nodded and said, "You're not as smart as the emperor's family. I just need to obey orders." This must involve the emperor's check and balance technique.

Knowing that Ling Yuxuan had realized it, Liu Hanlin got up and said, "Yuxuan, I'll go to the study, and you go to the backyard to find your sixth sister."

Ling Yuxuan immediately got up and cupped his hands, saying: "Sixth brother-in-law has worked hard. I will go to the backyard first, let Liujie and Miss Xiao cook some dishes to accompany wine, and have a drink with you in the evening." In the future, Wen Qing will become the capital for Wen Qing to enter the circle of ladies in the capital.

"Okay." Liu Hanlin clasped his hands and smiled, separated from Ling Yuxuan and went to the study.

"The fourth uncle is here." The maid outside the house saw Ling Yuxuan, who was wearing a blue brocade cloak and a plain long sword, walking quickly, and immediately reported inside.

Mrs. Liu, who was playing chess with Xiao Wenqing, immediately laughed and said, "Wenqing, my younger brother has never visited me so diligently." In the past three months, he has frequently been in and out of her house. Do you have any doubts?However, the mother has always been negligent towards the younger brother. Even if she knew that the younger brother often ran to her, she would think that he was looking for the Hanlin son-in-law for official business.

Xiao Wenqing, who was sitting opposite Mrs. Liu, had a sweet smile on her lips, and when she turned her head to see Ling Yuxuan's heroic figure, she immediately got up and stood by the arhat chair to welcome him. "Master Ling." She smiled slightly.Her two maids, Crystal and Agate, followed the other maids in Hanlin Mansion to salute, and called Ling Yuxuan "Fourth Uncle".

"Sixth Sister, my younger brother is here to visit you again. Wen Qing." Ling Yuxuan smiled at Mrs. Liu and Xiao Wenqing, took off the tie of the blue silk cloak, took off the cloak, handed the cloak to a maid who stepped forward, and put Three bundled paper bags were handed over, "This is the rose cake, plum blossom cake, and jade bean cake baked by Baiweizhai today. I bought them for you to taste." The pastries of Baiweizhai are very famous in the capital. The supply of one kind is not large, and people need to queue up in advance to buy it if they want to eat it.Well, he never had to line up by himself.

Mrs. Liu took the cake and handed it to the maid, jokingly said, "Fourth brother, since Wenqing came to be my company, my family's Ziyuan and Ziling have become fatter, and they kept saying that fourth uncle is so nice, three days Bring food from both ends." She had a son and two daughters, and Ziyuan Ziling was her two daughters, one was ten years old and the other was six years old.

Xiao Wenqing immediately pursed her lips and laughed.Every time Ling Yuxuan came here, he never came empty-handed, knowing that she was still unwilling to accept too many gifts from him, so he often sent some fruit, cakes and candied fruit.

"Oh, what Ziyuan Ziling likes to eat, tell me, I will buy it for them when I come next time." Ling Yuxuan said with a smile, since he often interacted with this concubine sister, he knew that he didn't even talk much before. My concubine is gone.

Mrs. Liu immediately said: "Girls want to try whatever they like, so you can buy more."

"Sixth sister has orders, and younger brother must obey." Ling Yuxuan put on a show and cupped his hands.

The maids serving in the room quickly fetched the pastry plates, relieved the pastries brought by Ling Yuxuan, then moved the chessboard on the low table in the middle of the Arhat chair slightly inward, put the pastries on the plate, and at the same time put Xiao Wenqing He put away the cold tea in front of Mrs. Liu and brought three new cups of tea.

"Yuxuan, sit down. Wenqing, you sit too." Mrs. Liu said, let Ling Yuxuan sit opposite her, and asked the maid to bring a yellow pear wood round-leg stool, and asked Xiao Wenqing to sit in front of her.

After Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing sat down, Mrs. Liu shared the cakes, and the three of them each ate a piece.

Taking a sip of tea to dilute the sweetness in his mouth, Ling Yuxuan looked at Xiao Wenqing who only greeted him politely, and said, "Miss Xiao, I have already checked out the matter you asked me, and the letter you wrote has also been delivered." He sent When the subordinates went to Xiaojia Village to inquire about the news, they asked Xiao Wenqing to write a letter from home for the subordinates to take there.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wenqing leaned forward and asked, "Thank you, Lord Ling, for helping me find my relatives. Lord Ling, how is my mother, and how is my younger brother?" Everyone is dignified and dignified, and there are four or five maids in Madam Liu's room. In front of her daughter-in-law, she tried her best to suppress her excitement.

"Yuxuan, do you have news about them?" Mrs. Liu was also very happy.

Ling Yuxuan nodded and said, "Miss Xiao, your mother Xiao Ning and younger brother Xiao Wencong now live in Xiaojia Village, Changhe Town, Xiling, and have adopted Xiao Wenhua and Xiao Wenfeng, orphans from the same clan as Xiao. Your family property has 160 acres of fertile land, and your mother's dowry also includes Eight acres of fertile land and four shops, so a family of four can get by. Your three brothers plan to take part in the boy's examination together in February next year. According to their current academic level, at least one of them can be selected as a scholar."

"It's great, my mother and younger brother have returned to their hometown to live safely." Xiao Wenqing whispered, her hands were so excited that she tightly grasped the skirt on her lap.When she was writing home letters, she wrote some things about being alone with her mother when she was a child in order to prove her authenticity.

"I sent someone to ask your mother. Your mother was very excited when she learned that you were still alive. She read the letter you wrote to her to confirm your identity. She wrote you a reply. The messenger is still on the way, waiting for the letter to reach me I'll show it to you." Ling Yuxuan said.The messenger pigeon can only pass some notes, and a courier is still needed for large items.

"This is really good news." Mrs. Liu gently reached out and patted Xiao Wenqing's shoulder.The more prosperous a woman's natal family is, the more secure a woman is in her husband's family.For young women, the natal family is what they can rely on, and the prosperity of the natal family may be more important than the prosperity of the husband's family.Since Yuxuan is trying to find out about Xiao Wenqing's relatives, he probably will help them as well.

"Yes, it's good news." Xiao Wenqing said, looking at Ling Yuxuan gratefully, her slender eyelashes hung with moisture, and her eyes glistened with tears.Xiling is thousands of miles southwest of the capital, with mountains high and rivers far away. Without his help, she would not know the news of her loved ones until the year of the monkey, let alone the chance to return home to look for them.
