Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 129

On the second day of the meeting at Qingyang Temple, Ling Yuxuan returned to the capital with the servant of the guard family and a steward of the Xiao family.He was worried about Xiao Wenqing's safety, so he kept the female guards by Xiao Wenqing's side.These two female guards were transferred by him from the Dragon Scale Guardian Shadow Group, so they were used for private use.

Ling Yuxuan remembered that Taoist Master Qinghe said to Wenqing that Wenqing had a death calamity this year, and he couldn't get over it. The autumn wind and autumn rain cried for the soul, and he believed that the death calamity would happen this autumn, so he decided to return to Beijing to prepare for the wedding, and quickly Hurry back and bring Xiao Wenqing to him in advance.Master Qinghe said that his "gui" can protect her from wind and rain.

Ling Yuxuan traveled day and night without stopping, and rushed back to the capital on June [-]th.He handed over the book of ceremonies, the letter of marriage, and part of the return form of the Xiao family to his father for inspection, and begged his father to help prepare for the wedding, and he wanted to rush over to greet the bride.

Regarding his son's eagerness, Prime Minister Ling smiled and shook his head: "Xuan'er, my father knows that you are anxious to get married and agrees with you to marry Miss Xiao, so you can't be patient and set the wedding date before the end of the year or March or April next year? The distance between Xiling and the capital is too far, and it normally takes nearly three months to go back and forth. Now it’s June [-]th, and you’re going to Xiling again as soon as you return to the capital. If you really can't hold it back, then take in a housemaid.

"Father." Ling Yuxuan's trust in his father was immeasurable, so he talked about the acquaintance of Master Qinghe and Taoist Hongyun, the master and apprentice, and the results of their orders.

"It's expensive... you can't say it, you're a prince, you're a mother..." Prime Minister Ling held his beard and pondered for a long time, then said, "The Qinghe Taoist priest really has some real skills. It seems that your marriage with Miss Xiao's family is really a match made in heaven. "One is too expensive but restrains mother and son, enjoys all the glory and wealth all his life but dies empty and childless in his knees, and one may die, but as long as he is protected by nobles, he will become the descendant of a first-class noble lady after death." full house.

Ling Yuxuan lowered his head sadly.Mother……

"You rushed back in a hurry, and you hurried back again. You are almost a joke for others. You are the commander of the Dragon Scale Guard who protects the palace and the emperor. No matter how favorably the emperor treats you, you can't stop seeing him for a long time. You I will go back to my post tomorrow to handle official duties, and I will ask the emperor for marriage leave at the beginning of July."

Prime Minister Ling said, "Your mother doesn't approve of your marriage, and I'm very annoyed that you didn't ask her what she meant in advance, but since she is your mother, you need her to manage your marriage. You and I are both men, and the details of wedding customs I don't understand at all. Your mother has arranged the marriages of your brothers and sisters, so she is very familiar with the preparations for you."

"Yes, father." Ling Yuxuan nodded and said, "I'll go to pay my mother a moment later, and ask her to help me arrange a new house and organize the wedding." My mother hated seeing him, so he tried not to appear in front of her, so as not to let the When she saw him, she thought of his elder brother.

"Yeah." Prime Minister Ling nodded and continued, "You saw the three brothers of the Xiao family in the Xiao family, what do you think of them?" As long as his son likes them, he doesn't care even if Xiao Wenqing is really the goddaughter of an old woman in the capital. , but, in order to satisfy some people with his son's marriage, he still has to find fault with the woman's family background.

"Father, the three brothers of the Xiao family are still too young and inexperienced. If they get involved in official careers too early, they will either be praised by us, or they will be oppressed by others."

Ling Yuxuan said, "We need to cultivate them well." Properly artificially create setbacks for them, and then patiently guide them to cultivate their confidence.

"Hmm." Prime Minister Ling was able to become prime minister not only because of the "brotherhood" he cultivated with the emperor in the early years, but also because he was cunning and scheming, and he was very discerning. When his son said this, he knew that as long as the Xiao brothers were carefully cultivated, they could become successful. A pillar of talent.The Prime Minister's Mansion has this family relationship, and it will be able to maintain a certain level of prosperity in the next few decades.

"My mother-in-law is wise, calm and far-sighted. This year, Qiuwei only let the eldest son Wen Hua and the second son Wen Feng participate, and at the same time did not expect them to win; Wen Cong was only 11 years old, and his mother-in-law asked him to consider taking the scientific examination after five or six years. During this period It’s best to go out often and see the world.”

Ling Yuxuan said, "Wen Hua and Wen Feng have already decided that after Qiu Wei fails the ranking, he will go to Pengcheng Academy."

The Eight Great Academies of the Daqing Dynasty were not open to scholars and wealthy people who wanted to go in. Students who wanted to go in for further study not only needed to be recommended by famous acquaintances but also passed strict examinations.The students in Qingyun Academy of Phoenix Academy were either rich or noble. Ling Yuxuan thought about it later, and felt that Wenhua and Wenfeng brothers would easily feel inferior when they entered, so he gave up persuading them to enter those two academies, and went to Pengcheng Academy with more ordinary scholars.As for Xiao Wencong, he has not yet been finalized and is very malleable.

"Oh, the Xiao family has already made plans." Prime Minister Ling nodded in satisfaction.It seems that Mrs. Xiao is a very calm person and doesn't care about gaining or losing fame or fortune for a while.

"Xuan'er, what you were worried about happened. My father has suppressed it for you. However, the follow-up matter still needs to be proved by you and Miss Xiao." Prime Minister Ling said, got up and took a file from the bookshelf and handed it To Ling Yuxuan.

Ling Yuxuan opened it and read it quickly. His handsome face was as cold as if carved from thousand-year-old black ice, and his eyes were full of murderous aura.He is a Dragon Scale Guard, he has done some unsightly things for the emperor, how can his hands not be stained with blood?
The things recorded in this file are related to Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing.

Ling Yuxuan, one of the four handsome men in the capital, wants to send the Xiao family girl back to her hometown to find relatives. Is this an ordinary thing?Others talked about it.Half a month later, rumors suddenly spread in the capital that the girl from the Xiao family had been the wife of an ugly guard for more than a month, and then she pretended to be an unmarried pure girl to seduce the prime minister's son.

This scandal quickly spread in the capital, Prime Minister Ling was furious and severely suppressed the matter, but some people feared that the world would not be chaotic, and continued to spread rumors that the former guard of He Yushi Zhao Mingtang was picked out, and he was Xiao Wenqing, a girl from the Xiao family. Former husbands and neighbors can testify.
