Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 121

"Wen Feng, go outside and see if the butler has settled Lord Ling's guards properly."

When his mother and sister left with the maids and women, Xiao Wenhua smiled and told his younger brother, then cupped his hands to Ling Yuxuan, "Master Ling, please, Xiaosheng will take you to Chunyun Courtyard to rest." Your honored guest is about to become his family's petite guest.

Xiao Wencong looked around, and said, "Brother, Master Ling is here with you, I'm going to see my mother and sister. Master Ling, please forgive me for being rude." He cupped his hands towards Ling Yuxuan.

Xiao Wenfeng nodded and said to his elder brother: "Brother, I understand, Master Ling, please stay with me." Then, he bowed his hands to Ling Yuxuan and left the main hall.

Ling Yuxuan lowered his head and said to Xiao Wencong, "Your mother and elder sister are both women. When mother and daughter get together, they might lose control of their emotions and cry badly. You should hurry up and persuade them." Looking at the expressions around his mother and sister, he even envied the relationship between their family.

"Yeah." Xiao Wencong nodded immediately, and then quickly walked out of the main hall to catch up with his mother and sister.

"Lord Ling, please." Xiao Wenhua invited again.

Ling Yuxuan nodded, and took Ding Bo and Xiao Wenhua to the guest house.

Xiao Wenhua sent Ling Yuxuan to Chunyun Yard, and told the servants assigned to serve the guests in this yard to entertain the distinguished guests well, and then asked Ling Yuxuan to rest.

After Ling Yuxuan washed his face and sharpened his face, he lay down on the bed in the room to rest for a while, recalling the information about the three brothers of the Xiao family and his impression after seeing them with his own eyes.

Xiao Wenfeng and Xiao Wenhua are blood brothers. Their father died when they were two years old, and their mother died when they were seven years old. However, their branch of the surname Xiao has completely declined. There are blood relatives and children who can't take care of themselves. .

After Mrs. Xiao returned to her hometown, she saw that their brothers were up and down, and she was very sympathetic, so she told the patriarch that they would adopt their brothers as adopted sons.The patriarch disagreed at first, thinking that Mrs. Xiao felt sorry for them and could take them home to take care of them, instead of specially adopting them, because the widow Mrs. Xiao had a legitimate son under her name, so there was no need to adopt the sons of other families of the same clan, and cut off the incense of that line.

For the revival of the Xiao family, in order to help find her daughter, and to prevent the only son from going wrong, Xiao Ning negotiated with the old patriarch. She adopted Xiao Wenhua and Xiao Wenfeng brothers and tried her best to train them; The Xiao family brothers can choose to go back and inherit the incense of their lineage.The patriarch felt that this was reasonable, and he also hoped that the talented Mrs. Xiao would help the Xiao family raise children who could revive the family, so he agreed, opened an ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and temporarily adopted the Xiao family brothers under the late Xiao Yiyun's name.

It is not only Madam Xiao who taught well, but also the two brothers of the Xiao family fighting for their strength. The two brothers grew up rapidly and became one of the few talented young men in the Xiao family village. The patriarch laughed from ear to ear. The idea of ​​giving his son to Mrs. Xiao as a foster son.

Xiao Wencong, Wenqing's younger brother, he is indeed as smart as the information says, he is extremely smart, he can read books with a photographic memory, he is quick-witted and draws inferences from others when encountering situations. His current shortcoming is that he has an irritable personality and doesn't know how to hide his clumsiness. You may be bruised by reality, get into a dead end, lose confidence from then on, and finally give up on yourself.

"Wen Hua, Wen Feng, Wen Cong..." Ling Yuxuan thought in his heart.The three brothers of the Xiao family, especially the youngest, are the key to the rejuvenation of the Xiao family, and the key to Wen Qing's success in becoming the prime minister's daughter-in-law. , he has to be careful.

"Fourth son, what day did the magistrate of Xiling come to help you propose a marriage?" Ding Bo, the steward, went out to check the unloading and placement of the luggage, then returned to Ling Yuxuan and asked with a bow.All the betrothal gifts prepared by the fourth son are currently placed in the county yamen, and only two guards are left there.

"Guizhi County originally said to choose an auspicious day. I asked him to hurry up, and his teacher immediately looked through the almanac and said that the day after tomorrow would be a good day, so we agreed that the day after tomorrow, Guizhi County would bring the local official media and a Taoist priest who specializes in combining horoscopes. Come here to propose a marriage." Ling Yuxuan said, "At the feast tonight, I will tell the Xiao family brothers to let them prepare." Here, the gift, name, Najib, Najib, and application period are quickly completed. , he rushed back to the capital to prepare for the wedding.

In fact, according to his own opinion, it is best to ask the magistrate to help arrange the wedding here, so that he can take his new wife back to the capital without having to go back and forth.The distance between the capital and Xiling is not from the east end of the capital city to the west end of the capital city, and it will take one and a half months at the fastest to make the trip.In the end, his father, the prime minister, sternly refused, saying that he was his legitimate son, the marriage must not be hasty, other things can be sloppy, and the final step of getting married must be done step by step.The father didn't mind Wen Qing's past and accepted her as his daughter-in-law, so he could only step back to satisfy his father.
