Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 101

On New Year's Eve, most of the officials of the imperial court were sealed and began to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.However, because Ling Yuxuan was an official of the Dragon Scale Guard directly under the emperor, he still didn't have a holiday, so he could only continue to write letters and send someone to send them over.

"Being an official is also very hard." Xiao Wenqing read the letter written by Ling Yuxuan, shook her head lightly and said, folded the letter and put it in her cuff pocket.

Mrs. Liu, who was sitting on the Arhat bed eating sunflower seeds, said with a smile, "In addition to protecting the palace and the emperor, my fourth brother also has to do other business for the emperor. He is busier than ordinary officials. You have to get used to it." The big and small things in the Hanlin Mansion were basically done, and they were waiting for the master Hanlin in the front yard to finish talking with his two sons before going back to the backyard for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Aunt Liu, who was sitting on the seat covered with thick brocade cushions, was drinking tea and eating melon seeds, said: "Today's New Year's Eve, I wonder if Lord Ling will come to the Hanlin Mansion before returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He hasn't been here for ten days. gone."

Xiao Wenqing's cheeks were slightly hot, and he said: "Master Ling is busy with work, and it is estimated that he will not be able to take his annual leave until very late. He should go back to the prime minister's residence to have a New Year's Eve dinner and watch the year."

"Fourth Uncle hasn't been here for a long time, I miss him so much." Said Liu Ziling, who was sitting next to her mother and playing a rope game with her sister sitting opposite, with a peanut candy in her mouth.She likes Chinese New Year the most, because during Chinese New Year, her parents will take her out to visit relatives and meet many friends of her own age.

"On the second day of the new year, mother will take you to grandpa and grandma's house. You can definitely see your fourth uncle there. In front of grandpa and grandma, you can't say that fourth uncle often comes to my house, let alone that fourth uncle knows Aunt Xiao. So does Ziyuan. " Mrs. Liu suddenly thought of the snobbery and meanness of her aunt, and hurriedly told her little daughter who was not very sensible.

"Mother, I remember." Liu Ziyuan nodded meekly.

Seeing her sister nodding, Liu Ziling immediately said: "Mother, I also remember."

Although Aunt Liu was not even qualified to appear in front of the prime minister's wife, she had heard about the prime minister's wife's character, and was worried that Xiao Wenqing would be wronged in the future.

Xiao Wenqing knew that her family was powerless, and the Prime Minister's wife would basically not accept her. She felt that it was right for Ling Yuxuan and his brother to keep the Prime Minister's wife a secret for the time being.When her brothers start to rise, when her Xiao family starts to revive, as long as Yu Xuan has true love for her, they will overcome all difficulties and become husband and wife.

"Madam, the master is here, the eldest son and second son are here, and the fourth uncle is also here." Suddenly, a servant girl reported from outside the house.

The people sitting in the room drinking tea and chatting hurriedly got up to greet him.Sitting on the Arhat bed and playing, Liu Ziling bent over to put on her shoes and get out of the bed, and Liu Ziling was also served by her nanny to put on her shoes and get off the Arhat chair.

"Master." Mrs. Liu led the female relatives to blessing Liu Hanlin who entered the door.

"Master Liu." Xiao Wenqing said to Liu Hanlin Fushen, and then to Ling Yuxuan who had a thin face, "Master Ling", and then greeted Liu Hanlin's two sons.According to the relationship announced by Mrs. Liu, she should call Liu Hanlin, who was an old friend with her father, uncle. It was only because of Ling Yuxuan that she always called Liu Hanlin an adult.

"Mother." Liu Hanlin's two sons saluted Mrs. Liu, and then called Xiao Wenqing "Aunt Xiao", then nodded to his father's concubine, Aunt Liu, and called Aunt Liu.

Liu Ziling and Liu Ziyuan were very obedient and saluted their father, uncle and brothers.

"Sixth Sister." Ling Yuxuan clasped his hands and said with a smile, "It's cold outside, and my brother passed by Sixth Sister's house on my way home, so I came here to ask for a glass of wine to warm myself up."

Mrs. Liu immediately smiled and said, "That's it. Fourth Aunt Zhao, go to the kitchen immediately and order that this year's New Year's Eve dinner will be held earlier." Liu Hanlin's residence is not on the way for the fourth brother to return to the prime minister's residence. He obviously hasn't seen Wen Qing for a long time. , I miss you so much, take the time to come and visit me.

A middle-aged daughter-in-law standing in the corner of the room immediately responded and walked out of the room.

Mrs. Liu greeted Liu Hanlin and sat on the Arhat bed, and she herself sat opposite to him.When the two eldest sons of the Liu family sat on the seat below the right side of the Arhat bed, Xiao Wenqing led the younger sisters of the Liu family to sit on the seat on the left, and the concubine, Aunt Liu, accompanied her in the last seat.

Knowing that Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing could not speak freely at such a time, Madam Liu asked for Xiao Wenqing: "Fourth brother, are you busy with work recently? My Zi Ling has been talking about you for ten days."

Xiao Wenqing lowered his head slightly, a shyness appeared on his white and tender face.

Everyone smiled.Zi Ling is a six-year-old child, how could she keep talking about her uncle for ten days?Mrs. Liu was clearly talking about Xiao Wenqing through Ziling.

Ling Yuxuan took a deep look at Xiao Wenqing, and replied to Mrs. Liu, "Sixth Sister, I have some secret reports to deal with recently, so I have been busy. After a year, I decided to ask for a leave of absence for half a year." Some things should be dealt with in advance, so that Xiao Wenqing can be sent back to his hometown to find relatives with peace of mind.Because of his busyness and weight loss, even the emperor was concerned: Is there too many things I have assigned to you?

Seeing him looking at her like this regardless of Liu Hanlin's family in front of her, Xiao Wenqing knew that he missed her so much, she was happy in her heart, and couldn't help but look up at him quickly.

Liu Hanlin and his wife knew what their children were thinking and smiled at each other.Mrs. Liu said: "Wen Qing, didn't you say yesterday that you made purses for everyone in my family. Hehe, I'm sorry, I'll ask for it first."

Xiao Wenqing understood, and immediately got up and said: "Ma'am, Wenqing has already prepared everything, and I will give it to you." She is mostly taken care of by Liu Hanlin's family, and all the money she is currently using is provided by the Liu family and Ling Yuxuan. So she can only make some female red items to give to them to express her gratitude.
