Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 174

Everyone in the Ling family went back to the mansion, and went to their rooms to wash and rest.On the bed, Xiao Wenqing told Ling Yuxuan about the possible engagement of the eldest son of the sixth sister and the eldest daughter of the third sister-in-law.

Ling Yuxuan, who was holding Xiao Wenqing in his arms, said: "Sixth brother-in-law has already told me that he hopes that I will be a matchmaker to help arrange marriage. I agreed, and I will talk to my father and third brother when I have time tomorrow, so that they can prepare, and finally my father will go Tell your mother that Qinglan's marriage is promising, and tell her not to worry."

Women are no better than men. If a man is dissatisfied with his wife, he can choose a woman he likes as a concubine or concubine, and put his main wife aside. But once a woman marries, she will stay with her for a lifetime regardless of her husband and son-in-law. Consider more carefully than a man's marriage.When his children reach the age of marriage, the mother may no longer be there, and Wen Qing absolutely does not have to worry about the children's marriage being controlled by others.But even if his mother was still there at that time, he would not allow her to match his children with mandarin ducks.

"Yuxuan, do you think this marriage is suitable? A marriage between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Hanlin Mansion." Xiao Wenqing asked with some concern.In the joint venture of officials and aristocratic families, politics must be considered more.Those in power will absolutely not allow a certain political or interest group below to dominate.

"Appropriate. The Liu family has always been civil servants and pure ministers. They are strong outside and inside, and they are very trusted by the emperor. My father is old, and I don't think he will be able to hold the post of prime minister for a few years. Qinglan will only be the niece of the commander of the Longlin Guard, Dali. The daughter of Siyou Sicheng."

Ling Yuxuan said, "The Ling family started from my great-grandfather's generation. The first two generations had a difficult time. My father didn't even have a brother. Although there are many relatives in the countryside, they are basically common people. In the future, there will only be me and the Ling family in the capital. The third brother will hold on." It should be no problem for the Ling family to be passed down to his brother's generation, but in the future it will depend on the talents and abilities of Jingquan, Jinghai, Jingyuan, and his sons.

Speaking of heirs, Ling Yuxuan stretched out his hand to cover Xiao Wenqing's flat belly, and said softly, "Wenqing, maybe our children have already grown here." He worked hard every night to sow the seeds, hoping that there would be a harvest in ten months. .

Xiao Wenqing pressed the back of his hand and said worriedly: "Yuxuan, just in case, I said in case, what if I can't bear you a son?" Because of the precognitive dream, she believed that she would definitely be able to bear children, but now her fate changed, and she Having a husband and son-in-law who is justified in name and name, there is no guarantee that he will be able to have a son.

"Wen Qing, the two fortune tellers said that you will make my house full of children and grandchildren." Ling Yuxuan laughed, rubbing his chin affectionately on the top of Xiao Wenqing's head.Before he decided to marry her, he didn't know their future fate.Regarding fortune-telling, many fortune-tellers said vague and reasonable words, but he did not seem to firmly believe in the words of the two Taoist priests of Qingyang Temple.

"But, what if it's not allowed? The Qinghe Taoist priest in my hometown also said that you have beheaded lines on your eyebrows, restraining children and restraining daughters, so you will die without children." Xiao Wenqing said cautiously.

"If you can't have a son, or even have a child, it means that my fate is hard, and the good fate of your children and grandchildren will be suppressed by me." Ling Yuxuan gently stroked Xiao Wenqing's abdomen and said, "If that's the case, am I right? hold you."

Xiao Wenqing had ulterior motives when she recited Master Qinghe's face-to-face. Hearing what Ling Yuxuan said, she immediately felt that she had bad intentions. Take a concubine to take over the house, and let other women give him branches and leaves.

Ling Yuxuan smiled, and said: "Third brother has three sons now, and I heard him mention the day before yesterday that his backyard will have more people. I think that if I don't have a son in the future, I can adopt one from him. I am a direct descendant, and I have a huge family business, so he will not disagree." Having brothers is good, at least you don't have to worry about the family becoming extinct in your own generation, and you can pick up a ready-made son for your retirement.

Xiao Wenqing looked up at Ling Yuxuan's handsome face, his eyes were full of excitement and affection.Ling Yuxuan was so sympathetic to her that she even thought of a solution to the problem that she might not be able to give birth to a son.

"Yuxuan, if you want a child, you need to work hard." Xiao Wenqing said softly.

She wanted children, especially Mrs. Zhao gave birth to a daughter, and Mrs. He Er gave birth to twins, so she longed to have her own children.In that dream, that undesired child, the crying and screaming when she fell to the ground made her excited and satisfied in the dream. The child being taken away was like cutting off her heart, which made her heartbroken and desperate.In reality, that scene will never happen again, and she will give all her mother's love to her and Yuxuan's child.

A few days later, Ling Yuxuan took a holiday, and in the morning, after having breakfast, the two went to the backyard to greet their parents.In the Prime Minister's wife's Xinyi Courtyard, Ling Yuxuan said to the Prime Minister's wife: "Mother, today I will take Wen Qing out for a walk, and I won't be back for lunch. Please don't worry about it, mother."

When the prime minister's wife heard the words, she said "Oh", and said, "You still love your daughter-in-law, your father was far inferior to you back then."

After a pause, she said: "I know where you want to go. Wen Qing, it's not that I stopped you from visiting your godmother, it's because you are now a third-rank wife granted by the imperial court, and your godmother used to be your mother-in-law. Other ladies I will laugh at you and your brother-in-law's old relationship, and make my prime minister's mansion ridiculed. It is kind of you to think of old love and help your godmother, but in the future, let the maid around you contact your godmother on your behalf." All she knew was Xiao Wenqing's godmother is the mother of low-ranking guards, and she doesn't know that Zhao Mingtang has returned to the army and has been promoted.

After hearing this, Xiao Wenqing was silent for a while, and said with a serious face: "Mother, my godmother is my great benefactor. No matter what my status is, I will never despise my godmother." This is the first time she refuted her mother-in-law's words face to face. .

"Mother, what Wen Qing said makes sense."

Ling Yuxuan, who had a lot of affection for Aunt Zhao, said immediately, "Mother doesn't know, right? Brother Zhao is now a general of the Phoenix Mountain Black Shirt Army, and is a seventh-rank military officer of the imperial court. The order of the godmother's seventh-rank child will be over soon." It needs to be issued." The Ministry of Rites really procrastinated and reported it step by step, and the paperwork that Zhao Mingtang and Xu Qian had requested for their wife and mother had not yet been approved.He just said it, and the Ministry of Rites immediately promised that it must be settled before October [-], and that the imperial decree would be sent to the Zhao family before Zhao Mingtang's daughter was full moon.

The prime minister's wife was stunned for a while, and said after a while: "Yuxuan, when you go shopping, you take Wenqing to Baofu Building on Xinlong Street, and pick out some new jewelry for her. Young lady, always take that A few pieces of jewelry are out of decency."
