Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 120

"Lord Ling, please enter the humble house to rest." Xiao Wenhua bowed his hands and invited Ling Yuxuan to enter the mansion. At the same time, he ordered the old butler to bring someone to entertain the guards brought by Ling Yuxuan, and to move the luggage of Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing's party into Xiao's mansion. Servant, hurry up and furnish the guest room.Ling Yuxuan and the others are distinguished guests and distant guests. They have no place to stay for the time being, so they naturally want to stay in Xiao's residence.

"Mother, let's go in and talk." As he said, Xiao Wenqing supported his mother, and accompanied her with his younger brother to step into the home he had left for 15 years.

There is no male master in Xiao's house, and the widow Xiao Ning independently manages the family business and raises three sons, and she is also a sixth-rank Anren by the imperial court, and has a seat in the family ancestral hall that women are not allowed to enter, so she is not like ordinary women. He took his daughter back to the back house and left the previous matters to his sons.

In the main hall of Xiao's house, Xiao Ning sat on the hostess's elm chair, invited everyone to sit down and drink tea, and gently asked about Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing's journey.

Ling Yuxuan sat on the lower chair on the right, cupped his hands towards Xiao Ning, and politely reported the journey to his future mother-in-law.

"Lord Ling, you have worked hard all the way. The Xiao family can't repay your kindness and virtue. Please stay a little longer and let my son Wen Hua Wen Feng Wen Cong treat you well." Xiao Ning said.She had guessed to some extent that this lord had genuine affection for her daughter, but she had to know more about this son of a noble family in the capital.

"Mrs. Xiao, I have a public position, so I don't dare to stay for a long time. I guess I will leave in a while." Ling Yuxuan said.

"Oh, Mr. Ling is still young, and he has already served as an official in the court? Please forgive me for being bold. If you are in any official position, how high is the official position?" Mrs. Xiao said.

"I am currently the Commander Tongzhi of the Dragon Scale Guard Commander in the capital, and I am a third-rank officer." Ling Yuxuan said modestly.

"Commander?" Mrs. Xiao was shocked.There is a certain number of court officials, and the rank of third rank and above is beyond the reach of most people who were born in official families.The 25-year-old young man in front of me is actually a third-rank high-ranking official. It seems that this person is not only from a wealthy family, but also has extraordinary abilities, which is why he was reused by the emperor.

Third Grade Officer?
The three brothers of the Xiao family who were sitting with them below were all afraid to speak.They are still in white.

"I am presumptuous, who dare to ask your father?" Madam Xiao asked, deeply worried about her daughter's future.The family backgrounds of the two families are too disparate. Even if they hit it off, the daughter of her family may only become the concubine of the other party.

Ling Yuxuan cupped his hands in the direction of the capital, and said, "My father, Ling Yu, holds the position of Prime Minister on the Right."

"Prime Minister You..." Mrs. Xiao's heart was shaken, she was very depressed, she hesitated for a while, took a deep breath, and said, "The little girl is humble, and I am grateful to the Lord for escorting her back to her hometown..."

As she said that, she asked Xiao Wenqing to get up and come in front of her, and then pulled Xiao Wenqing to bow to Ling Yuxuan together, "My lord sent the troubled girl back home, my righteousness is worthless, and I will bring my little girl to thank you again for your kindness." When she was like this, the three brothers of the Xiao family immediately stood up and saluted Ling Yuxuan at the same time.

When Ling Yuxuan saw Mrs. Xiao bringing Xiao Wenqing over, he quickly stood up. Seeing her leading the family to salute him, he quickly stepped aside and bowed deeply in return.He understood that Mrs. Xiao didn't want her daughter to have any special relationship with him, she hoped that her daughter could marry someone else as his wife in a dignified manner.

Seeing that Ling Yuxuan insisted on returning the big gift, Mrs. Xiao was sure that he had feelings for her daughter, so she could only say: "Master Ling must be very tired from a long journey, why don't you let my son take you to the guest room to rest. In the evening, let my son give Ling Yuxuan the gift. My lord, take the wind and wash away the dust." After she finished speaking, she took Xiao Wenqing's hand and planned to go back to the backyard to inquire about Xiao Wenqing's affairs carefully.If the other party is just wishful thinking, she is willing to use other methods to thank the other party for his good deeds, and at the same time persuade the other party to give up; if it is wishful thinking, she will analyze the life of the official's wife for her daughter and persuade her to think twice.

"Mrs. Xiao." Ling Yuxuan suddenly showed his trump card when Mrs. Xiao pulled Xiao Wenqing to walk in front of him, "My father wrote a letter to the county magistrate of Xiling, asking him to help me say goodbye to Miss Xiao; The dowry gift was brought, and the dowry gift was the golden wild goose given by the emperor when he learned that he would propose marriage to Miss Xiao." He knew that as long as Wen Qing was given the position of wife, Mrs. Xiao would definitely agree to the marriage.

The prime minister asked the magistrate of Xiling to talk about marriage?Only marrying a regular wife requires three matchmakers and six hires; the emperor knows and agrees to his marriage with Wen Qing?

Mrs. Xiao's steps stopped suddenly, and she suddenly turned to look at Ling Yuxuan in disbelief.This person has a decisive personality, acts swiftly and resolutely, and is thoughtful and thoughtful, almost impeccable.He carried out the emperor, even if Wen Qing didn't like him, the Xiao family couldn't refuse his marriage proposal.

The three brothers of the Xiao family and the servants of the Xiao family who were serving in the main hall were all stunned.When the emperor learned that Master Ling was going to the daughter of the Xiao family, he even gave him a golden wild goose. It was clear that he supported the son of the prime minister to marry the daughter of the Xiao family who was in trouble.With the emperor's approval, the elder sister 'Miss' must be the wife of the prime minister's son, and even the mother-in-law cannot bully her at will.

Everyone in the Xiao family suddenly became more fond of Ling Yuxuan.Madam Xiao turned around with a smile on her face and said to Ling Yuxuan, "Master Ling is exhausted from the journey, let's go back to the guest room to rest. Wen Hua, treat Master Ling well." After speaking, she left with her shy daughter.This time, she wanted to ask about her daughter and Mr. Ling, to find out where they were going.
