Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 153

Due to the sufficient preparations made in advance, Xiao Wenqing's cooking skills are indeed not bad after Mrs. Liu Hanlin's pickiness. Prime Minister Ling tasted the lunch she cooked the next day and praised: "It's not bad."The prime minister's wife picked two strands of kelp to taste, nodded, with a gentle and kind smile on her face.Ling Yulou told his daughters to ask their aunt for advice.The third young lady ate her favorite fried pork slices with green peppers and tender bamboo shoots, and praised: the combination of meat and vegetables is just right, neither salty nor bland.The six juniors catered to the speeches of the elders one after another.

In the Fushouyuan, the steward Ding Bo led two middle-aged wives and two middle-aged men to Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, madam, I brought them all."

Sitting next to Ling Yuxuan, Xiao Wenqing looked at the visitor.She had never seen these four people who were dressed differently from ordinary servants, so they probably were the stewards Ling Yuxuan could trust.

Ling Yuxuan pointed to the four middle-aged stewards and introduced to Xiao Wenqing: "Wenqing, they are Xia Huiping, Jianming, Aunt Zhao, and Aunt Tian. They are four people who specialize in managing my money and your dowry. We all live in the prime minister's mansion. We have to pay for our daily necessities, and we have to do the entertainment ourselves. Wen Qing, you have to look at their account books in the future, and they need to verify the accounts after a while."

"En." Xiao Wenqing looked around and nodded.It is the wife's responsibility to manage the inner court and finances.

"Wen Qing, from now on, you will have full control over the affairs of our hospital. You can ask Ding Bo if you don't understand. Ding Bo, Madam is young, and if you don't think carefully about something, you should bring it up." Ling Yuxuan said.He lived in Fushouyuan when he was two years old, and Ding Bo began to handle affairs around him for him. His personal servant, Fu An Funing, is Ding Bo's two sons. It can be said that the fate of Ding Bo's family depends on him. I dare not have second thoughts about him.

"Ding Bo, I will trouble you in the future." Xiao Wenqing smiled and nodded.

"Don't dare to do it, ma'am." Ding Bo hastily cupped his hands.He is over forty years old, since he was assigned by the master to serve the fourth young master, he has devoted himself to serving the fourth young master, and even sent his two sons to the fourth young master to serve him.The former seventh-rank officials of the prime minister's mansion, their father and son were the servants of the fourth son with a bright future, and their lives were more prosperous than those of ordinary wealthy businessmen outside.

After introducing his steward, Ling Yuxuan waved them away, and then said to Xiao Wenqing, "Because we have a hostess in our courtyard, my mother sent some maids, daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law to take care of them. You can use them as you like, if they eat inside and outside or The slave bullies the master, you tell me, and I will help you deal with it." Wen Qing took into account the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and did not dare to withdraw, he dared, after returning the servant, he could go outside and buy some servants to use.Although the newly purchased servants are definitely not as easy to use as the servants trained by the prime minister's mansion, they definitely dare not despise the wife who is still very weak in her natal family.Wen Qing will feel more comfortable using them.

"I see." Xiao Wenqing nodded, watching Ling Yuxuan's eyes glow.His meticulous care filled her heart, and she felt happy.

Returning home in three days, the married daughter has to bring her husband and son-in-law back to her natal home to visit her parents.Xiao Wenqing married far away from the capital, and had no family to go back to.She wants to visit her godmother, but as Mrs. Liu Hanlin said, her status as a godmother is too low. If she wants to visit relatives in a serious manner, she will not be accepted by the noble family, and her mother-in-law will definitely not allow her to stand up to her. The title of the prime minister's daughter-in-law went to openly visit an old commoner woman.

In the early morning, Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing, who were on their wedding leave, went to greet the Prime Minister's wife.After talking for a while, Ling Yuxuan said: "Mother, today is the day when a married woman returns home, and Wen Qing's younger brother is still at the Sixth Sister's house, so I plan to take Wen Qing to get together with her younger brother, and by the way, we will discuss how the younger brother is in the capital. arrangement." His brother-in-law Xiao Wencong still lives in Liu Hanlin's residence.

"Go ahead." The prime minister's wife nodded, the smile on her face was so pale that it couldn't reach her eyes.She has always disliked the daughters of the concubine, and the sixth daughter was so bold that she even helped the younger son to deceive her.If it wasn't for the youngest son's engagement, she would never let the sixth daughter return to her natal family.It's just that their siblings want to have a relationship, and she can't stop it.

Xiao Wenqing's heart moved, could Yuxuan take her to visit her natal family like last time?

When returning to Fushouyuan, Xiao Wenqing asked Ling Yuxuan like this.Ling Yuxuan smiled and said: "Now everyone in the capital knows that the prime minister's youngest daughter-in-law is Aunt Zhao's goddaughter, so you don't need to visit secretly anymore. You go and prepare some gifts now, we will visit Sixth Sister's first, and then we will visit you in the afternoon To my natal family, return to the mansion before evening."

"Yuxuan, you are always very considerate." Xiao Wenqing was elated, with a bright and warm smile on her face.

Ling Yuxuan smiled.Wen Qing didn't have any roots in the capital, so he had to find some for her.Although Sixth Sister is good, she puts all her effort into taking care of Wen Qing for his sake, and she is somewhat utilitarian; although Aunt Zhao is a commoner woman, she really loves Wen Qing, and Zhao Mingtang is a very responsible man , When Wenqing needs it, their mother and son will do everything they can to help Wenqing.

Xiao Wenqing quickly asked people to prepare gifts for Liu Hanlin's mansion and his godmother, and then walked out of the prime minister's mansion with three maids and Ling Yuxuan in a sedan chair in the mansion.In front of the prime minister's mansion, there were already guards leading Ling Yuxuan's horse over, and beside him was a big blue sedan chair carried by four people.Sitting in a sedan chair is also a symbol of status. Xiao Wenqing will take a four-person sedan chair when going in and out in the future.

Walking through the streets, the civilians saw Ling Yuxuan riding a horse and the four people behind him carrying a sedan chair, maids and guards with knives, and all retreated to both sides.Sitting in the spacious sedan chair, Xiao Wenqing looked down on others as an official wife for the first time, and what she saw was the envy in the eyes of others, especially women.A wife is more expensive than a husband, a woman depends on a man, and a man pursues a wife and a child.
