Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 150

Xiao Wenqing looked at the prime minister's wife, and walked to Ling Yuxuan meekly.Ling Yuxuan reached out and touched the purple sand teapot, then nodded towards Xiao Wenqing, picked up the teapot and began to pour tea.The tea is not hot, presumably because the person who made the tea was clever, not sure when the bride and groom will come over, the tea is too hot to be brewed temporarily, and if the four young women who served the tea are hot, it will also burn the mouth of the tea drinker, after a while Just make a pot to ensure that when the bride offers tea, the tea used is neither hot nor cold.

Xiao Wenqing picked up the cup of tea.Ling Yuxuan led her to the prime minister, and said softly, "Wen Qing, pay your respects to father."

Xiao Wenqing took a step forward, lifted the hem of the skirt with one hand and knelt down carefully, holding the exquisite green glazed teacup on top of his head with both hands, and said respectfully: "Father, please drink tea." Crystal holding the gift hurriedly walked behind Xiao Wenqing .

Prime Minister Ling took the tea with a smile, took a sip and put it on the table.

Xiao Wenqing took the folded clothes and shoes and socks from the tray in Crystal's hands, and said: "My daughter-in-law is clumsy, so I made a robe and a pair of shoes and socks for my father to show my filial piety, and please accept them."

"What an ingenious daughter-in-law." Prime Minister Ling happily took it and put it on the table, then took out a small brocade box from the tray in the hand of the servant beside him, opened it, and said, "This is a gift from the emperor to this old man recently." A pair of top-grade mutton fat jade pendants, I will give it to you now."

"Father, this is too precious." Ling Yuxuan said in surprise.Suet jade is not considered valuable in their kind of family, the most expensive is that it is bestowed by the emperor.

"As my father is so old, why don't I still have to wear a mandarin duck and jade pendant?" Prime Minister Ling laughed.This was obviously given to Yuxuan and his wife by the emperor lending his hand.

"In this case, Wen Qing, you can accept it." Ling Yuxuan immediately understood
After hearing this, Xiao Wenqing took it with both hands, and said respectfully, "Daughter-in-law thanked father." As she spoke, she carefully placed the small brocade box on the tray held by the crystal.

This is a gift from the emperor.

Crystal trembled with fear and looked nervous.

Ling Yuxuan poured a second cup of tea, led Xiao Wenqing to the prime minister's wife, and said, "Wenqing, come, and offer tea to mother." Crystal, holding a gift, followed.

Xiao Wenqing picked up the teacup and knelt in front of the prime minister's wife, and said softly, "Mother, please drink tea." As she spoke, she raised her hands up to the teacup.

The prime minister's wife took the teacup with a smile, took a sip and put it down.

Xiao Wenqing took out another set of clothes, shoes and socks from the crystal tray and held them to the Prime Minister's wife with both hands, "Mother, my daughter-in-law is clumsy, please don't dislike her." His mind is no less than his own wedding dress.

The prime minister's wife picked up a brown satin shoe, admired the begonia embroidery on it, and praised: "Your girl is very good, as Mrs. Bie said. You put a lot of thought into the begonia embroidery." This daughter-in-law must have inquired beforehand to know that her favorite flower is crabapple.

After receiving the gift from the new daughter-in-law and handing it to Aunt Cao, the Prime Minister's wife picked up the gold-painted box on the tray in the hand of a maid, and said, "This set of green jade hair masks is very suitable for young women. Keep it. You are from the Prime Minister's family." Daughter-in-law, you can’t be too shabby when traveling in the future.” Yu Xuan is a third-rank military officer, and his wife is a third-rank Shuren. He has to walk around with other wives often, and has the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the queen, so he must not dress too casually.Wearing jewelry, that is the face of a lady!
"Thank you mother for the reward." Xiao Wenqing said respectfully, took the gold-painted box with both hands and put it in the crystal holding tray.

Then, Ling Yuxuan led Xiao Wenqing to his third brother and third sister-in-law, and introduced him, "Wenqing, they are my third brother and third sister-in-law." The four aunts standing behind his mother were not qualified to be introduced to Wenqing. The two concubines behind my sister-in-law are also not eligible to be introduced.

"Sister-in-law pays respects to third uncle and third sister-in-law." Xiao Wenqing blessed them.Agate and Lvca, who were still holding gifts in their hands, walked quickly behind her.

Ling Yulou, the third son of the prime minister's family, immediately bowed his hands to return the gift, saying: "Siblings." He is about 45 or six years old, his face is [-]% similar to that of Prime Minister Ling, and his beard has the same shape as the prime minister.Anyone who has seen them can tell that they are father and son.

"Siblings and sisters." The third young lady of the prime minister's mansion returned the salute to Xiao Wenqing.Although she is the first daughter of the collateral line of the Cui family in the capital, in the prime minister's mansion, she is only the wife of the third son from the concubine, and her status is not as good as the wife of the fourth son from the concubine.

"Jingquan, Jinghai, Jingyuan, quickly greet your aunt." The third young lady ordered: Although she is well maintained and looks as good as a young woman in her thirties, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes have revealed her real age.

"Jing Quan,; Jing Hai, 15 years old; Jing Yuan, [-] years old." Ling Yuxuan laughed.His third brother had good luck with his children. So far, he has given birth to four sons and three daughters. Only one son died, and the others are in good health.

The three nephews called aunt and greeted Xiao Wenqing respectfully.

Xiao Wenqing smiled and nodded towards them, his eyes quickly slid across the face of Ling Jingquan, who was one year older than himself, and finally fell on the lovely Ling Jingyuan.This Ling Jingyuan was a sedan chair boy yesterday.

"Sisters and sisters, this is my eldest daughter Qinglan, second daughter Xuelan, and third daughter Yulan." Mrs. Ling San introduced them.All her husband's children belonged to her, and it was inconvenient to say which one was the concubine's and which was the concubine's on such an occasion.

The prime minister's mansion has always been thriving.

Xiao Wenqing accepted the salute of the three girls with a smile, thinking to himself.

After getting acquainted with Ling Yuxuan's third brother's family, Xiao Wenqing began to give them gifts.

The third uncle and the third sister-in-law are a pair of shoes and socks. The socks are made of crystal and the soles are made of agate. She embroidered the uppers and upper soles;
The three nephews, regardless of their kinsmen and concubines, each have a set of high-quality pens, inks, papers and inkstones. This is the easiest way, and they are bought;
Xiao Wenqing gave 16-year-old Qinglan a gold hairpin, a pair of gold earrings and a jade ring; 12-year-old Xuelan a gold necklace and a pair of silk-wrapped gold bracelets; I picked up a purse of four golden lockets.Basically, the three girls' gifts are of similar value, and no one will be dissatisfied.

The prime minister and the prime minister's wife both felt that Xiao Wenqing was very good at dealing with people.
