Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 112

"The No. 1 scholar in Xiling County this year is called Xiao Wencong. Xiling produced an 11-year-old genius case leader this year. The emperor knew about it. He also said that if this young scholar passed the examination in Qiuwei, he will be admitted as a Jinshi next year in Chunwei. , doesn’t he have a 12-year-old courtier? If this child can win three yuan in a row, he will add the child’s parents.” Ling Yuxuan smiled, his handsome face was full of spirits.Wenqing's younger brother is simply Wenqing's big lucky star. Their timely rain, he will definitely help this little brother-in-law develop in his official career in the future.

"Wenqing's younger brother is the chief case in the Xiling County boy's trial? 11 years old?" Mrs. Liu leaned forward and asked with a shocked expression on her face.The revival of the Xiao family was too fast, far beyond her imagination.

"Yes." Ling Yuxuan said.Originally, the emperor would not try his heart on the local boy, but his father and the emperor had a good personal relationship, and the emperor knew about his begging his father.Both the emperor and the prime minister asked Xiling County about the results of this year's boy test through different channels, and Xiling County naturally reported the results to the capital as soon as they came out.

Knowing the list of newly promoted talents in Xiling this year, and Ling Yuxuan's explanation, the emperor asked the Ministry of Officials to look up the information of several officials with the surname Xiao since the founding of the country, and then learned about the recent situation of the Xiao family.Ling Yuxuan took the opportunity to tell about his affairs with Xiao Wencong's sister Xiao Wenqing, and asked the emperor to allow him to send Xiao Wenqing back to his hometown and propose to the Xiao family.The emperor pondered for a while, then agreed, and asked someone to bring a pair of palm-sized golden geese, saying that it was a reward for him, and asked him to take them for employment.

"Wenqing, congratulations. Fourth brother, I'm so happy." Mrs. Liu said happily.With the permission of the emperor, the marriage between Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing is a certainty, and Xiao Wenqing married into the prime minister's mansion, and the prime minister's wife did not dare to bully her, because Xiao Wenqing was the one who was bestowed with golden geese by the emperor.

Xiao Wenqing was so excited that she held the list with her left hand trembling, and covered her hot face with her right hand.The Xiao family is finally going to be revived, and she is too lucky.

"Wenqing, take a look at the back." Ling Yuxuan reminded, "Xiling admitted this year's scholars, the No. 30 fifth is Xiao Wenhua, and the No. 40 second is Xiao Wenfeng." This time, the Xiao family became famous in the local area.Even the emperor and his father, the prime minister, looked at the list and were surprised by the Xiao family, thinking that the widowed Ning family of the Xiao family was good at teaching children.

"My God, Wen Qing, your Xiao family is really going to prosper." Mrs. Liu clutched her heart. There are three talents in one school, and they are all in the same year. The oldest is 17 years old and the youngest is 11 years old. Unexpectedly, the Xiao family will definitely be revived.

"Yuxuan, Yuxuan, we can go to Xiling now, can't we?" Xiao Wenqing asked eagerly.Yuxuan was unable to make the trip for a long time, probably because his father, the Prime Minister, was still evaluating her family background and the future of her family.

"Yes, the emperor has granted me a half-year leave, and I will bring you the dowry gift to escort you back to your hometown to find relatives." Ling Yuxuan said, "My side is basically ready, you just need to pack your luggage."

Before Xiao Wenqing could speak, Mrs. Liu knocked on the table and reminded the two excited young people, "Fourth brother, it's indecent to walk with a widow and a lonely man. Wenqing is going to marry the prime minister's husband, and a good reputation before marriage is very important. "

When Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing were reminded by her, they immediately calmed down.

Mrs. Liu said: "Every lady needs someone to wait on her when she travels far away. There must be no fewer maids and mothers-in-law, and more than two loyal old servants must be arranged. Wen Qing, you take the two maids and four daughter-in-laws of Guixiangyuan with you. , I asked the master to help you find two stable old servants with experience in going out."

She reached out her hand to stop Xiao Wenqing from speaking, and continued: "For a long journey, the master's servants carry a lot of clothes and utensils. No matter how simple it is, I still need four or five carriages. I will send Steward Xia to the capital carriage shop to order a carriage." Three vehicles, at least four or five vehicles should be prepared for loading. "

"Sixth Sister, this is too much." Ling Yuxuan said helplessly, and with the dowry gift he prepared, wouldn't that mean forming a convoy?The journey to Xiling is very long. In some places, the road is impassable and you have to go by water. It is very inconvenient to change cars and boats.

Xiao Wenqing, who had experienced the marriage of the prefect’s daughter in Huanglin, knew that Madam Liu was right, so she still asked, “Madam, I only need to bring crystal and agate. The more people I bring, the more luggage I need to carry.” Many. Menservant, I believe Master Ling will bring some, Madam don’t have to worry about my boudoir reputation.”

Ling Yuxuan immediately said: "Wen Qing is right, Sixth Sister, she should only bring crystal and agate. I will arrange two other female guards to protect Wen Qing."

"That's it..." Mrs. Liu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "That's how it is." Anyway, when we arrived at Xiao's house in Changhe Town, Xiling, Mrs. Xiao's wife would buy another maid for Wen Qing.

Seeing that she agreed, Ling Yuxuan said to Xiao Wenqing, "Go back to the yard and clean up, we will leave early the morning after tomorrow."

"En." Xiao Wenqing nodded.After she returned to the courtyard, she would ask her maid to help her pack her luggage, and she would also write letters to some aristocratic daughters who were already familiar with her, telling them that she had returned home to find relatives, and asked them not to worry; she had better I can meet my godmother tomorrow and tell her about my return home.

Mrs. Liu covered her mouth and smiled lightly. The fourth brother was getting impatient with waiting, and was anxious to get an engagement, and then rushed back to prepare for the wedding, so that he could marry Xiao Wenqing home as soon as possible.
