Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 172

There were more and more guests, and the female guests who gathered in the backyard to talk gradually went to the front yard, waiting to watch the bride cry and get on the sedan chair.Because this is a marriage of two big families, many people received invitations from both families at the same time. After negotiating with the Cai family and the Li family, some went to the Li family to watch the marriage ceremony and have a wedding banquet. Some couples separated, and the wife went to the Cai family. The husband-in-law came to the Li family, and those who were close to the Cai family drank the wedding wine at the Cai family.Cai Jiayu is the granddaughter of Prime Minister Ling, the prime minister's husband and wife, son, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, and a lot of grandchildren came to Cai's house one by one.

Probably because of Ling Yuxuan's face, or because Xiao Wencong himself is well-known in the capital, Xiao Wencong, who lives in Liu Hanlin's residence, also received an invitation from Cai Jiafa.He prepared a congratulatory gift, and came to have a wedding wine with Liu Hanlin's family.

The name of Xiao Wencong's genius has been known by some people in the capital. On the day Xiao Wenqing got on the sedan chair, he was made difficult by the boys and girls who pressed the sedan chair to write poems in public, and he did write two very appropriate poems. So many people were curious about him, but he was protected by Ling Yuxuan and Liu Hanlin, so it was not easy for others to see him.Now that the Cai family and the guests who came to Cai's house saw him, they almost watched him.Since he was still young, some women even took the initiative to come up to him to tease him.

"Little scholar, full of talent, I don't know which daughter will be blessed in the future."

"He looks really good. He has jet-black hair, double eyelids, big watery eyes and a red mouth. His skin is fairer and tenderer than girls', but he's a little shorter."

"He is only 11 years old, his voice is still crisp and tender, and he will grow taller in the future. His elder sister is beautiful, and his younger brother is also so beautiful. I think their parents are also outstanding in appearance."

The men judged Xiao Wencong's future by looking at his literary talents, while the women talked about Xiao Wencong's appearance.

Xiao Wencong's skin was tender, and he was blushed like Guan Gong when he was seen by a group of women who were full of fragrance.He tried to hold his head high and keep himself from stage fright.Both his brother-in-law and Liu Hanlin and his son reminded him that there are very few gatherings in the capital where many high-ranking officials and their wives gather. He left a good influence on everyone here, which is beneficial to the future development of his Xiao family.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my younger brother is young and thin-skinned, please forgive him." Xiao Wenqing saw his younger brother's begging gaze, stepped forward with a smile and said, "Wen Cong, go to your brother-in-law's." He Cai's old lady was interested in Wen Cong and asked her to call her brother over, so Wen Cong is now appreciated by a group of women as a rare animal.

Xiao Wencong, as if he had received an imperial order, quickly cupped his hands and said, "Sisters and ladies, Wen Cong is here." As he spoke, he tried his best to restrain his desire to run, walked out of the scent encirclement and returned to Ling Yuxuan's side.

The married daughters of the prime minister's mansion came together to talk with their sisters-in-law and younger siblings, and their daughters were still gathered around them. They talked and talked, and they turned the topic to their children's marriage.

Lingsan's wife Cui said: "My eldest son Jingquan is eighteen, I should start to help him pay attention to girls. But now I am more anxious about my daughter Qinglan's marriage. She is sixteen, so far she hasn't talked about it yet. "Although this eldest daughter is a concubine, her aunt always has to work hard for her.Qinglan will soon become an old girl if she doesn't decide to marry her own mother, and she will be gossiped behind the back of other wives as her mother-in-law.

When Third Madam Ling mentioned the eldest daughter, Ling Qinglan, who was standing not far from her, immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.The aunt did not give birth to a daughter, and she was kind to the three daughters. She would rather the aunt help her choose a husband than the stern and indifferent grandmother help her choose a husband who might have a better family background.A good family background does not mean a good character. Except for the eldest aunt and the sixth aunt, the husbands and sons-in-law of the aunts are all dudes from aristocratic families.

"Sister-in-law three, the marriage of nieces and nephews..." Mrs. Liu hesitated, "Mom probably needs to decide."

Xiao Wenqing listened silently.The mother-in-law and the wife of the prime minister have a strong desire to control, and the back house of the prime minister's mansion is completely controlled by her. The sister-in-law has been the third wife of the prime minister's mansion for more than 20 years, and she is about to become someone else's mother-in-law and mother-in-law. No.

"Alas..." Ling San's Madam Cui sighed, and said, "Qinglan is Yulou's daughter, and a father should take care of her marriage." Don't be stupid and filial, let the malicious mother match their children with mandarin ducks.

"If the third brother decides Qinglan's family in advance, mother can't object." Mrs. Liu laughed.Although the mother covered the sky with one hand in the back house of the prime minister's mansion, as long as the father and the third brother spoke, she could only back down, because they were men, and men who were officials.

"Your third brother has never paid attention to the marriage of his children. He has no one to choose for a while. The fourth brother is married, and it is Jingquan and Qinglan's turn to start talking about kisses in the prime minister's mansion." Ling San's wife, Cui Shi, worried Said with a frown.

"Sister-in-law three, help Qinglan choose a good family first, and then ask Uncle San to come forward." Xiao Wenqing suggested cautiously.

"Well, you're right." Third Ling's wife, Cui Shi, nodded immediately. Since Ling Yuxuan disregarded her mother-in-law's objection and married her fourth younger sibling, she felt that she had an ally who could deal with her mother-in-law together.
