Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 78

Mrs. Liu was really happy for her younger brother and Xiao Wenqing's future, and after she had snacks and tea, she said, "Wenqing, go to the garden and pick some red plums to put in vases." She paused, and narrowly said, "Fourth brother, You go and help Wenqing choose beautiful red plum branches. Well, Wenqing better draw a picture of red plums for everyone to appreciate."

Ling Yuxuan immediately bowed to Mrs. Liu with a smile on his face and said, "Sixth sister also knows me." Sixth sister always finds an excuse to let him and Xiao Wenqing be alone.

Xiao Wenqing got up and leaned towards Mrs. Liu, and said in a steady and dignified manner: "Mrs. Liu, Wenqing is going to pick red plums, and then paint." She also longed to have some conversations with Ling Yuxuan alone, instead of always being together with a group of people to chat with.

"Wenqing, fourth brother, remember to bring your cloak and cloak, it's cold outside." Mrs. Liu said kindly, smiling at the pair of Bi people in front of her.In November, although the capital is not yet covered with ice and snow, the north wind is already blowing.

When they were talking, one of the two maidservants standing behind her, Crystal, immediately went to the outside room to bring a red silk cloak trimmed with white fox fur.Mrs. Liu asked the embroiderers in the sewing room at home to make some clothes for Xiao Wenqing, and Ling Yuxuan made a lot of clothes for Xiao Wenqing in the neon clothes shop outside. selected.

The maid who helped Ling Yuxuan keep the blue brocade cloak brought the cloak to Ling Yuxuan again. Ling Yuxuan put on the cloak, stretched out his hand to Xiao Wenqing with vigor, and said politely: "Miss Xiao, please." When there are many people, He always keeps a certain distance from Xiao Wenqing, lest Xiao Wenqing be gossiped
"Mrs. Liu, I'm going to the garden. Lord Ling, I'm sorry to trouble you." Xiao Wenqing said softly, glanced at Ling Yuxuan with bright eyes full of affection, turned and walked out of Mrs. Liu's main room.Crystal and agate followed immediately.They all know that the fourth uncle and Miss Xiao have made a mutual promise to each other for life, and both the master and wife agree, and they are just waiting for the prime minister and his wife to agree.

"Sixth sister, I went with Miss Xiao to pick red plums." Ling Yuxuan said to Mrs. Liu who was sitting on the arhat chair, and turned to chase after her.

What a perfect couple!
Mrs. Liu finished her tea with a smile, and asked the maid to put away the untouched pastries, and went to visit her daughters who lived in the small courtyard to the south.

The garden of Liu Hanlin's mansion is not big, with more than a dozen red plum trees planted in the east.In November and winter, the red plums bloom one after another, and the cool plum fragrance wafts from the east garden.

"Wen Qing, next February, I plan to take a long vacation to accompany you to Xiling." Ling Yuxuan said.His father, Prime Minister Ling, and the emperor are not only in the relationship between a monarch and a minister, but also friends for many years.Ever since he became the Dragon Scale Guard, the emperor has trusted him a lot. If he wants to take a long vacation, the emperor will naturally allow it.

"Yuxuan, is this true?" Xiao Wenqing's heart was shocked, she stopped, and turned to look at him with excitement flowing in her eyes.After three months of getting along, she had already called him by his name in private.

"It's true." Ling Yuxuan said.He didn't go home for a long time, and he seldom took the initiative to care about his mother and didn't ask too much. He only needed to tell his worried father that he had to travel far away for business.

"Yuxuan, you always arrange everything well." Xiao Wenqing said gratefully.As he said when he was pretending to be Zhao Mingtang, everything should be arranged by him.

Ling Yuxuan smiled confidently: "Because I am a man." He is not only the son of the prime minister, but also the commander of the dragon scale guard who is trusted and empowered by the emperor.

Xiao Wenqing pursed her lips and smiled, "My lord is right."

The prime minister's son, Ling Yuxuan, is a third-rank official with real power, powerful and well-connected, and can do far more things than she who lives in the back house.She works hard every day, hoping that she is worthy of him, but sometimes she looks in a trance, doubting whether she can successfully marry him, because even though she is the daughter of an official family, her great-grandfather, great-grandfather and father have all been officials, but The family has declined, and her great-grandfather's direct line has only one underage boy in her generation, and whether it can be revived depends entirely on him.

"Wen Qing, how is your studies these days? "Book of Rites" says that if you are open but not relaxed, you can do nothing with civil and military skills.Sixth Sister often praised Wenqing, and even Sixth Brother-in-law occasionally praised her. He came here often, and he could almost see her growth.It is not easy for her to catch up with the knowledge and etiquette learned by the noble daughter of the capital in ten years in just three months!

"Yuxuan, I don't need to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics to catch up with the science exam like a man. Studying is not as hard as you imagine." Xiao Wenqing laughed.For women, she can handle the most important women's celebrities and gifts, and she also dabbles in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and noble etiquette. Madam Liu also took her by her side to teach her how to housekeeper.According to Mrs. Liu's evaluation, when she goes out, as long as she is cautious in her words and deeds, others will see her as a standard daughter of a famous noble family.
