Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 165

The eldest sister must have handed the invitation directly to the mother.Sure enough, my mother didn't really treat Wenqing kindly.

Ling Yuxuan, who was having dinner, asked the man to retreat, his handsome face was clouded.

"Yuxuan, maybe my mother forgot for a while." Xiao Wenqing put a slice of green pepper cuttlefish into Ling Yuxuan's bowl, and persuaded softly, "She has told me several times that she is getting old and often forgets about things. , needs to be reminded by others. Maybe she thought she had given me the invitation card, maybe the people around her forgot to remind her this time."

"Wen Qing, my mother is only 68 years old this year, and she is not too old to forget things." Ling Yuxuan said in a deep voice.Because of the cold relationship with his mother all the year round, he investigated his mother again, so he couldn't help but not think badly.Does it make sense just for the mother to do that?Wen Qing is already the first daughter-in-law on the Ling family tree, and she was named a third-rank gentleman, so she can't be bullied casually.

"I understand. I'll just be careful in the future." Xiao Wenqing said hastily.She is just preconceived, thinking that Yuxuan is the only son-in-law of her father-in-law, and Yuxuan will be in charge of sacrifices for her father-in-law and mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law will not embarrass her, and her mother-in-law has not done anything to her so far, so she is not guarded against her mother-in-law. .Now that she knows that her mother-in-law still has no good intentions, she will naturally be vigilant.

"En." Ling Yuxuan nodded slightly.He decided to slowly find a reason to send away the newly assigned maids and servants in the yard one by one, and go outside to buy some for use.The servants in the hands of him and Wen Qing will be loyal to him and Wen Qing only if the contract of selling their lives is in the hands of him and Wen Qing.

After dinner, the two walked out of Fushouyuan hand in hand and went for a walk in a nearby garden.Crystal Agate went to eat dinner, and Lue, who had eaten dinner in advance, followed behind the young lady and uncle.

"Wen Qing, tomorrow is a holiday, but I have already made an appointment with Shaoling to go to the black shirt army barracks, so I can't take you out this time. Next holiday, I will take you out again to visit the godmother and sister-in-law. Baby." Ling Yuxuan said.Long Shaoling, one of the four handsome men in the capital, is the son of General Zhenguo, the leader of the black shirt army, and also served as a general in the black shirt army.

"Black Shirt Army, I heard you mention it several times, it seems that Brother Zhao and Master Xu are both small leaders in the Black Shirt Army." Xiao Wenqing said.

"It's the general of the army. The president leads 480 eight soldiers, belonging to the seventh-rank military attache." Ling Yuxuan said, "Brother Zhao and Brother Xu have probably asked the imperial court to seal their mother and wife. I don't know if the Ministry of Rites has verified it. I Go ask tomorrow, if you don't have it, hurry up, and try to get the godmother, sister-in-law, and Xu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be sealed before Brother Zhao's child is full moon, so that the Ministry of Rites will send someone to Zhao's house on the day when Brother Zhao's daughter is full moon Proclamate the decree, I am more happy than happy."

Ling Yuxuan was all focused on Wen Qing before, and didn't pay attention to Zhao Mingtang and Xu Qian.If the two of them were too late to seal the mother and wife, and according to the procrastinating speed of the old men in the Ministry of Rites, maybe the godmother, sister-in-law and the others hadn't finished their seals yet.

"That's good. Yuxuan, you go to the Blackshirt Army barracks tomorrow, and pay a visit to Brother Zhao and Master Xu." Xiao Wenqing urged.By mistake, she hasn't seen Big Brother Zhao since she contracted to leave the Zhao family last year.

"Well. Since I went to the Black Shirt Army, I must go and see the two of them." Ling Yuxuan said.He used to be a soldier in the black shirt army and knew a lot of people; now he is the Dragon Scale Guard who is heavily used by the emperor, and he has to build good relations with the leaders of the black shirt army on weekdays.In the past two days, the emperor has been sneezing continuously, his nose is stuffy, and he feels a little cold.

After the two walked back to the room, Jing Jing brought a bowl of ginseng soup and said: "My lord, madam, the kitchen has brought another bowl of ginseng soup, please drink it while it's hot." The old lady loved her, Recently, I gave the kitchen some 300-year-old wild ginseng, and asked the kitchen to cut a section and cook a bowl of ginseng soup every day for my wife to nourish her body.

Xiao Wenqing looked at Ling Yuxuan and said, "I won't drink it anymore, you can drink it." She always believed that ginseng was medicine, and she didn't want to drink too much even if it was a great tonic.Besides, she lived a comfortable life in the back house with nothing to do, and she didn't suffer any losses, so she didn't need to make up for it.On the contrary, Yuxuan is working outside and needs to make up.

"Although ginseng soup replenishes qi and restores yang, if you drink too much, you will get nosebleeds." Ling Yuxuan, who had already drank for Xiao Wenqing several times, said, "Crystal, you and the agate green calyx drink it separately." Although the mother was kind, but The 300-year-old wild ginseng is too nourishing, and it is not good for young people to overdo it.Suddenly remembering that his mother might be plotting against Wen Qing, Ling Yuxuan felt a chill in his heart. Although the 300-year-old ginseng is not expensive to the prime minister's mansion, it still costs a lot of silver. Why does his mother insist on giving it to the young and healthy Wen Qing? ?He also drank this ginseng soup, it is really nourishing to the body.

"Yes, my lord." Crystal said happily, nodding to Agate and Lue, motioning them to come and drink this bowl of tonic soup together.The lord and his wife treated them well to the three maids, and even rewarded them with this 300-year-old ginseng soup.Although they only got two or three bites each time, they felt much better physically and mentally than before after eating a few times.

"Wen Qing, if you don't like this ginseng soup, don't drink it anymore." Ling Yuxuan paused and said. "Bring it back from the kitchen, Crystal, and you three will drink it quietly." Maybe it's time for him to send someone to investigate the person who cooked the ginseng soup, and it's best to take the residue from the ginseng soup to the imperial hospital to find someone check.There is no need to have the intention of harming others, and the need to be defensive. My mother has been in the back house of the prime minister's mansion for 50 years, and there is no way to suppress my father's concubine, Tongfang and a bunch of children.
