Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 160

Ling Yuxuan was an official with an important official position. After the ten-day marriage leave was over, he woke up early, put on the red official uniform worn by the commander of the Dragon Scale Guard, and entered the palace.Before leaving, he comforted Xiao Wenqing that he would have lunch in the palace, she didn't have to wait for him, and if the mansion felt boring, he would sit with her more after greeting his mother.The mother is a very important person among the noble ladies in the capital. If she can please the mother, the mother may teach her some experience and skills in dealing with noble ladies.

Xiao Wenqing, who got up to wait for him to change clothes, nodded, expressing his understanding that the prime minister's wife is in charge of the back house of the prime minister's mansion, and the daughters-in-law have nothing to do, except chatting with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, being a female celebrity in her own courtyard, and occasionally socializing with other wives after going out. can do.

Ling Yuxuan left, Xiao Wenqing washed up and had breakfast, checked the time and then went to pay her respects to her mother-in-law.The prime minister's wife got up late, and when Xiao Wenqing went to say hello, she had just sat down to have breakfast.

"Wenqing, have you had breakfast?" the prime minister's wife said with a smile.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law has already used it." Xiao Wenqing said, serving a bowl of barley porridge for the prime minister's wife.The prime minister's wife is getting old, and she pays attention to health preservation everywhere. Sometimes the kitchen makes a lot at a time, and some will be sent to her.

"Well, your breakfast is the same as mine, right?" Mrs. Prime Minister took a mouthful of porridge with a spoon and said, "The Prime Minister's Mansion is your home. You can tell the kitchen to cook whatever you like."

She turned to Aunt Cao who was standing behind her and said, "Yunniang, send someone to tell the kitchen to stew some tonics for Madam Fourth Young Master in the future."

"Yes, madam." Cao Yunniang nodded.

"Mother, I'm still young, so I don't need to take special supplements." Xiao Wenqing thanked.Her mother-in-law's attitude towards her daughter-in-law is much better than Mrs. He's mother-in-law towards Mrs. He.

The prime minister's wife smiled kindly, and said earnestly: "Wen Qing, supplements need to be taken for a long time to be effective. Madams like us, tremella bird's nest and other things that nourish blood and nourish the skin are used for many years. Women are prone to aging, especially after giving birth. After the child, the attractiveness to the husband declines rapidly."

Xiao Wenqing silently lowered her head.On the second day after the marriage, Yuxuan ordered the kitchen that Mrs. Fourth Young Master must have two meals of white fungus soup in the morning and evening.When she came here just now, she ate a bowl of white fungus and red date soup first, then half a bowl of barley porridge and a small piece of steamed cake.

"Yunniang, I remember that I still have some old wild ginseng that is more than 300 years old. You can take it to the kitchen later, and ask Mrs. Chun in the kitchen to make some nourishing soup for me and the fourth young lady. Well, the third young lady Don't forget over there, too," said the prime minister's wife.

Cao Yunniang was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Yes, ma'am."

"Mother, old mountain ginseng is very precious. My daughter-in-law is young and has good health, so I don't need to eat ginseng to make up my body. Mother, let Sister-in-law Chun be the share for you and the third sister-in-law. The daughter-in-law doesn't need it." Xiao Wenqing said.Ginseng is a precious medicinal material. Do healthy people need to eat it?She heard that ginseng is generally used to hang people's lives. For example, in the nightmare-like premonitory dream, she had difficulty in giving birth, and the midwife fed her a few mouthfuls of ginseng soup, and as a result, she gained some strength.

"Wenqing, this is the prime minister's residence." The prime minister's wife said seriously, "Ginseng and ganoderma are just common things."

"I'm sorry, mother. My daughter-in-law is stupid." Xiao Wenqing hurriedly apologized. Does the mother-in-law mean that she is petty?
"Wen Qing, I heard that you can play chess, how about playing two games with me later?" The prime minister's wife said suddenly after eating a few mouthfuls of barley porridge.

"Yes, mother." Xiao Wenqing replied.The mother-in-law has a life, and the daughter-in-law has to obey.Moreover, she is now a daughter-in-law, and it is her duty to serve her mother-in-law.

On the rosewood arhat bed of the prime minister's wife, there was a small rosewood carved table with a pair of chess sets on it. The prime minister's wife and Xiao Wenqing sat on the left and right and started playing chess.

A [-] to [-] centimeters high hollowed out golden chi beast incense burner was placed not far behind Xiao Wenqing, silently exuding a misty and distant fragrance.

Cao Yunniang stood behind the prime minister's wife and watched the game between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Sometimes she looked at Xiao Wenqing with complicated eyes.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law is rude." The first game of chess came to an end, the two sides counted the number of items, and Xiao Wenqing won Wumuban.

"Wenqing, your chess skills are not weak." Prime Minister's wife asked, "Who taught you?" This chess ability cannot be learned in a year or so.

"Mother, when my daughter-in-law was young, my daughter-in-law's father taught her how to play chess, but after she was kidnapped, she only watched others play chess." Xiao Wenqing hesitated for a moment, and said, "When I was in Sixth Sister's house, Sixth Sister taught me how to play chess. "

"Oh." The Prime Minister's wife said lightly, "Just now I actually forgot the back move that was placed in the left corner at the beginning, and I just focused on my eyes, and I lost the game. Wen Qing, let's play the game again." As she spoke, she started Clean up the black pieces on the board.

Xiao Wenqing knew that the relationship between mother-in-law and concubines and concubines was cold, so she didn't dare to say more, and immediately cleaned up the white chess pieces she had just played.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started to play the second game of chess.In this game, Xiao Wenqing didn't dare to win again. Every time he made a move, he quickly counted the number of moves in his mind, and because his own chess skills couldn't do the calculation after dozens of moves, he was a little powerless and had to give up after the middle game.
