Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 137

Before the end of June, the four daughters of the Xiao family who married out of the capital came to the Prime Minister's Mansion one after another with their husbands and sons-in-law. His son, the commander of the Dragon Scale Guard, and Master Ling knew the joy of their engagement.

Prime Minister Ling went to court the next day, and officials congratulated him when he was in the court room.Most officials in the capital knew about Ling Yuxuan and the girl from the Xiao family. Since the prime minister announced that his son was engaged after Ling Yuxuan came back, no matter whether the rumors with the girl from the Xiao family were true or not, if the prime minister recognized this daughter-in-law, the rumors would be slander.Knowing that the prime minister hosted a banquet for his family yesterday, the officials who congratulated the prime minister asked the prime minister to invite another guest to celebrate.

Prime Minister Ling laughed and said: "His son decided to go to Xiling to welcome his wife on the eighth day of July. The wedding date is set on August 28. The Prime Minister's Mansion is very busy and cannot entertain you anymore. On August 28, everyone will go to his house and Xi Bar."

On August 26, how could it be possible to get married on August 28?Because Ling Yuxuan was always worried about the words "autumn wind and autumn rain cry for the soul" in the fortune-telling face-to-face, he was anxious to put Xiao Wenqing by his side, and use his noble spirit to protect her through this catastrophe. He was also a little concerned, and decided to meet and get married in advance according to his wishes.The Xiao family sent Tian Er and two servants to the capital, and now, Tian Er took a servant and drove to Xiao's Village in Xiling day and night.They wanted to go back and report that Miss Xiao's dowry of furniture had been prepared, and the Ling family would come to welcome her in advance.

Ling Yuxuan went to Xiling again with his troops and gifts. This time he and the steward Ding Bo were familiar with each other. When he arrived at Changhe Town in Xiling, it was six days earlier than when he first came.

In August, Xiao Wenhua and Xiao Wenfeng were both going to take the township examination. They had been studying behind closed doors since Xiao Wenqing got married.In order to exercise Xiao Wencong's ability to handle affairs, Mrs. Xiao specially arranged some things for him to do when preparing her daughter's dowry.After receiving the news that Ling's family was going to welcome the bride in advance, Mrs. Xiao was still very busy despite the help of many members of the Xiao Family Village with the surname Xiao. He is much more adept at dealing with people and things.

In the courtyard where Xiao Wenqing lived, several empty rooms were filled with dowries.Xiao Wenqing asked Ling Yuxuan, the prime minister, and the prime minister's wife for the size of clothes and shoes and socks when Ling Yuxuan decided to bring her a betrothal gift to send her back to her hometown to find relatives, and started to do it when she was free on the way home.Fortunately, it was done in advance, otherwise she would not have time to embroider her wedding dress.Xiao Wenqing made the patterns and sizes of the quilt, pillow and head scarf, and then the embroiderer invited by the town and the maid who was a good embroiderer at home rushed to work together.As for the embroidery for the third son and wife and their children who were still living in the prime minister's mansion, she decided to rush to make it on the way to get married.

"Miss Xiao, the fourth uncle is too anxious." The servant girl Jing Jing said, compared with the two maids that Mrs. Xiao allocated to Miss Xiao, Miss Xiao is more familiar with her and Agate, and she is a bit more familiar with them when talking to them. friend feeling.

Xiao Wenqing raised his head and rubbed his eyes, and said, "Your fourth uncle is worried about the fate of the two priests."

"The girl's [-]th life is a sinister person, and the fate of the fourth uncle is unspeakable, can he protect the girl?" Crystal said, and put down the sole of the shoe she was piercing in her hand.He was the son of the prime minister from birth, and he was promoted to a high-ranking official of the third rank at a young age. The life of the fourth uncle is indeed precious.

"Hmm." Xiao Wenqing nodded, and stretched out her hands to rub her sore neck. In order to embroider her wedding dress, she had been staying up all night.

"Miss Xiao, fourth uncle is really infatuated with you." Crystal said enviously.She and Manao are maidservants who have been sold off for life by their parents, and the other is a family-born child. In the future, Mrs. Liu will ration her as a servant, and then the family will have children.

Her words made Xiao Wenqing think of Ling Yuxuan's tenderness and affection.Xiao Wenqing smiled slightly, and stroked with her fingers the half-embroidered picture of a phoenix on the wedding dress in front of her.The two phoenixes looked at each other with affection in their eyes.She and Yuxuan are like this pair of phoenixes, they will fly together and love each other for a lifetime.

In Xiaojia Village, it can be said that the whole village is helping Mrs. Xiao's family prepare the dowry, and the magistrate's wife who lives in the town also comes to help every day, because Xiao Wenqing is going to marry to the capital to be the daughter-in-law of the prime minister's family, her husband-in-law She is a high-ranking official of the third rank, and she is the imperial wife as soon as she gets married.Madam Gaoming, there hasn't been one in the entire Xiling County for 400 years.Her husband-in-law is still young, and she might become a first-rank wife in the future.

On July 25th, Ling Yuxuan, who traveled day and night, brought his wedding party to Xiling Changhe Town.This time, the boat he took was more than double the size of the passenger boat he took last time. There were lights and festoons on the boat, and others could tell it was a boat for welcoming relatives at a glance. However, why did the boatmen wear soldier uniforms? Could it be that this is a military boat?

Xiao Wencong, who received the news and came to meet Ling Yuxuan with two stewards, saw this unusual big boat and asked in surprise, why hadn't he seen it before at the Changhe Town wharf because it was so big.

Ling Yuxuan then told Xiao Wencong that this was a warship, which he dispatched from the water city of Qianbo Prefecture in the lower reaches of the Xiangcao River, and its speed was three or four times faster than that of private passenger ships.

My brother-in-law is so powerful that he can even mobilize army ships.

For the first time, Xiao Wencong saw the privileges of officials in the capital.
