Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 154

After three incense sticks, Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing came to the gate of Liu Hanlin's residence.Ling Yuxuan had already sent someone to notify him before he came, and now the door of Liu Hanlin's mansion was wide open, and two teenagers stood in front of the door looking out, surrounded by the housekeeper and servants of the mansion.

"Brother-in-law." Xiao Wencong, who was wearing a scholar's turban, waited for Ling Yuxuan to ride over and walked down the steps to greet him.

"Fourth Uncle." The young man who greeted Ling Yuxuan with Xiao Wenqing at the door saluted Ling Yuxuan.He is the second son of Liu Hanlin, the son of Mrs. Liu, named Zidan, who is 14 years old this year.His father went to court, and his elder brother went to work in the government office. It happened that he didn't have to go to school today, so he acted as the host to entertain the fourth uncle and aunt who came to the door today.

"Wen Cong, Zi Dan." Ling Yuxuan got off his horse and threw the reins to the concierge of the Liu residence who came forward.

After the sedan chair came to a complete stop, Crystal and Agate helped Xiao Wenqing out of the sedan chair.

"Sister." Xiao Wenqing called out happily.I haven't seen her for more than two days, and my sister has a calm and charming unique to a bride, like a peony blooming after being moistened by rain and dew.

"Wen Cong." Xiao Wenqing smiled and walked in front of Xiao Wencong.The younger brother's complexion is ruddy, and he thinks that he is eating and living well in Liu Hanlin's mansion these days.

"Fourth aunt." Liu Zidan bowed to Xiao Wenqing.

Xiao Wenqing nodded and said, "Zi Dan, I have troubled you to take care of my younger brother these few days." Liu Zidan was studying at the official school in the capital. When she lived in the Hanlin Mansion, there were differences between men and women. After contacting her, she knew that this boy was as gentle and kind as his father and brother.

"No, Fourth Aunt, Uncle Wen Cong insists on being erudite, I am ashamed of myself." Liu Zidan said quickly, with an open-minded smile on his fair face with a few small pimples.Although it is said that literati are not relative to each other, his father and brother often say that there are heaven and man outside the sky and there are people outside the sky. He does not think that he is inferior to the 11-year-old Xiao Wencong in many ways, so he needs to feel inferior.People like Xiao Wencong only come out once or twice in decades or hundreds of years. Why should he be ashamed of a student who has excellent grades in government schools?
"Master Fourth Uncle, Madam Fourth Uncle, please come inside." Housekeeper Xia of Liu Hanlin's Mansion bowed to Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing.

"Butler Xia." Ling Yuxuan nodded with a smile.

"Housekeeper Xia, my brother is causing you trouble by living in your residence." Xiao Wenqing smiled.She lived in Liu Hanlin's mansion for more than half a year, studied family management with Mrs. Liu, and was very familiar with the housekeeper.

"Fourth Uncle Madam is too polite." Housekeeper Xia smiled and cupped his hands, turning sideways to invite everyone into the mansion.

Everyone drank a cup of tea in the main hall of the front yard of Liu Hanlin's mansion, and a woman in the backyard came to announce that everyone was invited to meet in the backyard.

The outsider Ling Yuxuan is Mrs. Liu's younger brother, and he has been in Mrs. Liu's back house countless times; the outsider Xiao Wencong is still a minor, so no one else will hold him back.At Mrs. Liu's invitation, everyone went to the back house together.

Mrs. Liu was waiting in the flower hall with her two daughters. When Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing came in, they stood up to greet her.

"Sixth sister, my younger brother brought Wen Qing over to visit you today." Ling Yuxuan clasped his hands and said.Now he is getting closer to the eldest and sixth sisters, Wenqing is protected by them, and other noble ladies in the capital dare not neglect her too much.

"Today, the new daughter-in-law came home three times. Wen Qing married out of my mansion. Bringing her here is like returning home." Mrs. Liu said with a smile, "I have ordered the kitchen to prepare the banquet, and I have also sent someone to send a message to Master Zishu. If you have nothing to do, go back to the mansion earlier." Liu Zishu is the eldest son of Liu Hanlin, the only child left by Mrs. Yuan, and now serves as a minor official in the Imperial Academy.

"I haven't seen my siblings for a few days, and they look even more beautiful." Mrs. Liu hurriedly supported Xiao Wenqing who was about to salute herself, "Sure enough, a woman is the most beautiful when she is a married woman for the first time." The cheeks are rosy, and the white and tender skin is faintly shimmering, like a colorful butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

"Sixth sister, you are making fun of me." Xiao Wenqing said shyly.

Mrs. Liu laughed loudly and called Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing to sit down.

"Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt." Liu Ziyuan and Liu Ziling came over to salute Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing.

Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing praised them a few words, and then presented the gifts they planned to give to everyone in Liu's residence.Mrs. Liu told them that they were too polite, and asked them to accept them.

The maids served tea and pastries, and everyone sat in the flower hall to greet each other.Ling Yuxuan mentioned that he would take Wenqing out in the afternoon.

Mrs. Liu was also a smart person, and asked, "Are you going to Zhao's house? Openly? Shall I prepare two soft sedan chairs to take you there?" Riding a horse only means being rich, but if you have guards with knives by your side and four When a person carries a big sedan chair, it shows his noble status.

"That's annoying Sixth Sister." Ling Yuxuan said.On weekdays, he doesn't like to bring a bunch of guards and servant girls to swagger across the street, and if they pass like this, it will only make the Zhao family and the neighbors of the Zhao family feel hierarchical and alienated.

Xiao Wenqing said a little uneasy: "Yuxuan, I'm a little worried. Will my current status cause trouble for my godmother and elder brother?" Will he use the Zhao family to get Yuxuan's way?If the Zhao family disagrees, will they offend many people from now on?
As soon as Xiao Wenqing's words came out, Ling Yuxuan understood her worry, and immediately comforted her: "Brother Zhao is the commander-in-chief of the black shirt army camp in Phoenix Mountain, and no one can bully him. Tell her, don't just agree to other people's relationship with you. The prime minister's house doesn't allow it. You are a female family member, and you don't care about outside affairs." The black shirt army is commanded by General Zhen Guo, who is the strictest in governing the army, and nepotism is strictly prohibited in the army. relation.What kind of general leads what kind of soldiers, if others want to follow the path of Tongzhi Longlinwei through Zhao Mingtang, Zhao Mingtang's character must also be considered.

"En." Xiao Wenqing nodded.Since ancient times, there are people who are good at handling things, and it is normal to go through the back door through relationships. She only hopes that she and her godmother will not cause trouble for Yuxuan.
