Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 155

In the morning, Liu Hanlin and his son returned to the mansion one after another.

In the flower hall, the men talked about how Xiao Wencong spent his time in the capital.

Ling Yuxuan invited Xiao Wencong to live in his mansion. After all, he is his brother-in-law, and taking care of him is a matter of course.Their siblings live closer and can often talk.

Liu Hanlin stroked his beard and said, "Yuxuan, the rules of the prime minister's house are too strict, and it's not convenient for outsiders to come in and out. Since Wen Cong has already lived with me, let's stay here forever. It's inconvenient to change."

Liu Zidan pulled Xiao Wencong's hand, and said, "Uncle Xiao, you can stay at my house. There are many books in my library, but you have never read them. Tomorrow, my brother and I will take you to the Imperial College." He was reluctant This seniority is calculated to be higher than myself, but the friend who is younger than myself leaves.

Xiao Wencong was already acquainted with living in Liu Hanlin Mansion. Hearing this, he looked at his eldest sister and brother-in-law, and said, "Sister and brother-in-law, can I still live here? Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu, Wen Cong will continue to disturb your mansion." The Liu family is a family of Hanlin, and there are more books in the library than he expected. He feels that it will take a month for him to memorize them all here.

Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing saw that he had already made up his mind, so they stopped persuading him.

Liu Zishu, the eldest son of Liu Hanlin, said: "At that time, the Guozijian recruited the children of seven-rank officials. Mr. Xiao's late father was the magistrate of Changxing County, and he is now a scholar. Why not just enter the Guozijian." The Daqing Dynasty implemented a family recommendation system and a scientific examination system. In ancient times, the students of Guozijian were all the children of nobles, and they were recommended to serve as officials in the court after they were successful in their studies.

"Zishu, I think the four major academies are more suitable for Wen Cong." Ling Yuxuan said.Students from various academies in Daqing had to pass scientific examinations before they could enter official careers.Both Phoenix Academy and Qingyun Academy have a lot of noble children, and those people basically think they are talented and disdain to be recommended as officials by their families.Most of the students from Phoenix Academy and Qingyun Academy have both family power and real talents, and they are the backbone of the court in the future. He hopes that his brother-in-law can be admitted to Phoenix Academy or Qingyun Academy, and make friends with classmates while studying, and build a future. career contacts.

The women sat and listened.Xiao Wenqing believes that Ling Yuxuan only needs to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the Academy and the Imperial College for her younger brother, and in the end it is up to the younger brother to choose.Phoenix Academy is very close to the capital, if the younger brother can be admitted to Phoenix Academy, she can take care of him at a close distance; if the younger brother decides to take the exam with the elder brother and second brother, Pengcheng Academy, which is more than 200 miles away from Xiling, she is also very happy, because then Mother will be more at ease.

After lunch, Liu Hanlin and his son went to the government office to handle errands, and Mrs. Liu took her daughter to stay with Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing in the back house.The second son of the Liu family talked with Xiao Wencong.Both Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing knew that the sixth sister, Mrs. Liu, had the habit of taking a nap, so they didn't bother her. After talking for a while, they asked her to order the servants to prepare the sedan chair. They were going out to visit the godmother, Aunt Zhao.

When Xiao Wencong decided to marry his sister off, Mrs. Xiao told him that since he was in the capital, he must visit his sister's godmother's family and Xu Shiwei and his wife who had helped her sister through, so Xiao Wencong learned that his sister and brother-in-law were going to visit today. Aunt Zhao asked to go with him, and ordered Tian Er, who accompanied him, to immediately bring the thank you gift prepared by his wife.

In the afternoon, three soft sedan chairs were carried out from the Imperial Palace, surrounded by three maids, a steward, and ten servants carrying gifts.Riding soft sedan chairs is the way of travel for rich family members and some old people. Three soft sedan chairs are unremarkable walking on the street.

Walking through the streets and alleys, Ling Yuxuan and Xiao Wenqing and his party soon arrived in front of Zhao's house.Seeing three soft sedan chairs and a group of servant girls, the neighbors in the neighborhood looked here one after another, and some bold children gathered to watch the excitement.

The two gates of Zhao's house were open and closed at the same time.Tian Er, the steward of the Xiao family, slapped the door and asked loudly, "Is Mrs. Zhao at home?"

Aunt Zhao, who was sitting under the grape arbor in the yard as a female celebrity, got up and said, "I'm at home, who is looking for me?" While talking, she patted the thread ends on her body with both hands and walked towards the door.Seeing a guest, the young pregnant woman sitting on the recliner next to Mrs. Zhao also stood up with difficulty and walked over with her tall belly.

Ling Yuxuan, Xiao Wenqing and Xiao Wenhua had already got off the sedan chair.Ling Yuxuan raised his foot to enter the door and said with a smile: "Mother, I brought Wenqing to see you." Aunt Zhao is Wenqing's godmother, that is, his godmother, and he has wanted to call her "mother" for a long time .

"Master Ling!" Aunt Zhao was startled when she saw the noble young master with a sword in the extraordinary appearance and called her godmother.

"Godmother, Wenqing is here to see you." Xiao Wenqing who followed Ling Yuxuan into the door quickly walked up to Aunt Zhao and kissed her lightly.

"I can't help it, you are a lady of the third rank now, how can you salute a commoner old woman?" Aunt Zhao quickly put Xiao Wenqing and his wife in both hands, and said pleasantly, "I didn't expect that you would come to see me again, and so soon." She asked Mrs. Liu to help her and her son send a small gift. I don't know if Wenqing received it.

"Godmother, today a married woman will return home for three dynasties. My natal family is far away in Xiling, so I will go back to your side." Xiao Wenqing smiled.Seeing the pregnant woman slowly approaching, she immediately became nervous, and went up to say, "Sister-in-law, slow down and pay attention to your body." Seeing the pregnant woman with a big belly, she suddenly became nervous and agitated, worrying about the safety of the pregnant woman and the safety of the child Safety.Oh child... Her mother's love instantly surged violently in her heart.

Mrs. Zhao, who is bloated and struggling to walk, smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, I am strong." She did not expect that the goddaughter her mother-in-law recognized would come to her house again, and she was very happy.

"Sister-in-law, don't move around, sit down quickly."

Carefully helping Mrs. Zhao to sit on the recliner under the grape arbor, Xiao Wenqing returned to Mrs. Zhao, called Xiao Wencong over and said, "Godmother, this is my younger brother Wen Cong. Wen Cong, this is my godmother." .”

Xiao Wencong bowed deeply and gave a deep salute, saying: "The younger generation, Xiao Wencong, has met the aunt. The eldest sister has been warmly taken in and protected by the auntie. My Xiao family will never forget it. Please be respected by the younger generation."
