Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 149

Xiao Wenqing touched up her makeup before going out, then followed Ling Yuxuan and brought three maids holding presents to the Prime Minister's wife's Xinyi Courtyard.

Ling Yuxuan saw that Xiao Wenqing was walking slowly, and after a little thought, he knew the reason, and immediately said: "Come here, bring a sedan chair over here." The houses of rich and noble people are too big, and they usually prepare small sedan chairs for the daughters of the rich. .

Xiao Wenqing was immediately ashamed, and quickly said: "No." Doesn't everyone know that she is unwell.

"It must." Ling Yuxuan said firmly.A servant woman left in a hurry, and after a while two healthy women followed her carrying a sedan chair.

"Fourth son, fourth young lady." After putting down the sedan chair, the two healthy women saluted Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing.

Ling Yuxuan nodded, and stretched out his hand to help Xiao Wenqing sit on the sedan chair.The healthy women waited for Xiao Wenqing to sit firmly, lifted the sedan chair, and walked towards Xinyi Courtyard.

"Yuxuan, is this... suitable?" Xiao Wenqing replied shyly.Her bones are indeed uncomfortable, especially her legs are a little unsteady when she walks around.

"Others will understand." Ling Yuxuan calmly comforted Xiao Wenqing.Although his third brother got married when he was very young, he didn't know if the third sister-in-law would go there in a sedan chair when she offered tea to her parents-in-law and daughter-in-law, but since Wen Qing was tossed about by him... some people would Know why she is inconvenient to walk.

The prime minister's mansion is huge, and there is even a large natural lake in the back garden, but the distance between Fushouyuan and Xinyiyuan is not too far, and it's time for Ling Yuxuan to take Xiao Wenqing for a cup of tea to cool down.

"Young master, madam, the master and the old madam have had breakfast. The third son and the third wife's family just went in to pay their respects." Ling Yuxuan's servant Fu An saluted Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing.In the name of the young master, he came over early in the morning to inquire about the situation of the old master and the old lady.

"Wenqing, we came just in time, so we don't need to send someone to remind us." Ling Yuxuan said to Xiao Wenqing with a smile.He basically knows his mother's work and rest time. Today's new daughter-in-law recognizes her mother-in-law's family, and the third brother's family will definitely come over earlier.It was neither too early nor too late for him to follow in.

Xiao Wenqing was helped out of the sedan chair, took a deep breath facing the imposing Xinyi Courtyard, and said softly, "Yuxuan, let's go in."

Seeing that she was ready, Ling Yuxuan said, "Don't be nervous. My father is very kind to the family. Although my mother is a bit strict, she will not make things difficult for your new daughter-in-law. You are the first daughter-in-law, and the third brother's family dare not make things difficult for you." Said Then, he led Xiao Wenqing slowly into the gate of Xinyi Courtyard.He is the youngest son in the family, 14 years younger than his father's youngest daughter and his sixth sister, so Wenqing didn't dare to make trouble with her uncle and sister-in-law.

The maids and servants who were cleaning the yard saw the Fourth Young Master and the Fourth Young Madam coming in, and they all gathered to salute. Some people hurried to the back room to report to the Prime Minister and his wife.

"Four sons and four young ladies, we haven't come to invite you here, you are here." Out of the back room came out an old servant woman wearing a blue silk dress, a jade hairpin, and a jade bracelet around her wrist. He walked out with a smile on his face, and moved toward Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing.

"Morning, Aunt Cao." Ling Yuxuan introduced Xiao Wenqing with a smile, "Wenqing, Aunt Cao is an old man by my mother's side, and she is most trusted by her mother. You can ask her if you have anything in the future." The dowry maid brought by her natal family used to be his father's housemate, but she never gave birth, so she has always been a housemate.

"Aunt Cao." Xiao Wenqing nodded in salute.

Aunt Cao smiled and said: "As expected of the daughter-in-law that the Fourth Young Master insists on marrying. Looking closely, the Fourth Young Master's wife is as beautiful as the fairy in that painting." She was crystal clear, her cheeks were faintly pink, her cherry lips were small and delicate, and she was extremely glamorous and charming.

Xiao Wenqing said shyly, "Aunt Cao, you are too flattering." As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly in embarrassment.

"Madam must be happy to see you." Aunt Cao said, bowing to invite the fourth son and fourth young lady into the back room.

The prime minister and the prime minister's wife sat on the left and right of the sandalwood eight immortals table against the wall in the innermost part of the main room. Behind the prime minister's wife stood four luxurious women in gold and jade clothes.The maids were still moving the chairs, the third young master and the third young lady were standing on the left, surrounded by their children and concubines.

"Father, mother, my son and his wife are here to greet you." Ling Yuxuan bowed his hands to the prime minister and his wife after entering the door.

He didn't introduce, so Xiao Wenqing was half a step behind him, and deeply blessed his father-in-law and mother-in-law.Everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Wenqing one after another, looking at her appearance and evaluating her character.

"Yuxuan, you got up very early. You came here before our side was ready." The prime minister said while supporting his beard.In order to drink his wife's tea, he asked for leave today and did not go to court.

"I don't dare to wake up too late," Ling Yuxuan said.

"Daughter-in-law, don't keep your clothes on, get up and come over, let me take a good look." The prime minister's wife said kindly.

Xiao Wenqing immediately said: "Yes, mother." As she spoke, she got up slowly, walked lightly in front of the prime minister's wife, her head was slightly lowered, and her gaze fell humbly at the prime minister's wife's feet.

"Sure enough, he is a handsome, elegant and dignified child." The prime minister's wife nodded and said.Judging from her looks and her makeup today, as a mother-in-law, she really can't fault her as a daughter-in-law.

While they were talking, the maid came quickly with a vermilion lacquer tray and said, "Master Xiang, madam, the tea is here."

Another maid brought two brocade futons and carefully placed them in front of the prime minister and his wife.

"Wen Qing, come here." Ling Yuxuan said.
