Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 217

While lamenting that time is not forgiving, the elderly want to prove that they are not old.The prime minister's wife was very comfortable listening to Xiao Wenqing's words, even though she clearly knew that Xiao Wenqing was exaggerating. "Wenqing, your little mouth is as sweet as honey." The Prime Minister's wife smiled, "Come back to business, I see that your third sister-in-law is really busy, so don't be lazy and help your third sister-in-law through this time. "

Xiao Wenqing shook her head, and suggested enthusiastically: "Mother, have you forgotten about your granddaughter Qinglan? She is going to marry the eldest son of the Hanlin family, so she must know how to run a family. You should let Qinglan share the third sister-in-law's recent affairs. As for the embroidery needed, if Qinglan doesn't mind, I can help her with it." A few days ago, the women's relatives gathered to discuss Qinglan's dowry, and the third sister-in-law talked about Qinglan's wedding dress and embroidery.

The third sister-in-law is a qualified aunt. Three years ago, she sent someone to make the most time-consuming furniture for her two older concubines, but she did not expect that the concubine would become a concubine. The camphor that was originally made for Qinglan I can't sell the wooden furniture, and now I'm asking the Cui family, which has many unmarried girls, if they have a complete set of brand new high-quality wooden furniture, and the Ling family asks for it.

"Qinglan, she's been busy embroidering her wedding dress recently, her eyes are red." The prime minister's wife shook her head with a smile and said, "Every bride wishes to get married in a wedding dress embroidered by herself or her mother." The third daughter-in-law definitely didn't. Embroider the wedding gown for that daughter, but I heard that Qinglan's biological mother embroidered the whole wedding gown for her daughter two years ago.The concubines in the back house are no more able to go out for entertainment than the main room. They can only find things to do on their own when they are idle and bored.

"Then I'll go to Qinglan's side later to see if I can do something for her." Xiao Wenqing said, in order to avoid estrangement with the third sister-in-law, she would not listen to her mother-in-law and interfere in the internal affairs of the prime minister's mansion.In this mansion, a word from the father-in-law can veto the painstaking efforts of others for decades.If the father-in-law decides that Jingquan will inherit the family business, no matter how hard Yuxuan and her try, it will be useless. On the other hand, no matter how the third sister-in-law helps Jingquan run the business, if the father-in-law decides that Yuxuan will inherit the family business, Jingquan will just help the eldest family inherit the inheritance. Incense's grandson.

"Well, then you should go and have a look. When you meet your third sister-in-law, just ask her how Qinglan's dowry is going." The prime minister's wife smiled and nodded, her smooth and rich face was full of grandmother's kindness.

Suddenly, the maid outside said: "Third young lady is well, Miss Sun is well."

Third sister-in-law and Qinglan came.

Xiao Wenqing immediately got up and walked to the side to stand facing the door.

The windproof curtain of the main room was pulled open, and the third young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was wearing a blue round-neck cloud-pattern brocade jacket, a dark blue long skirt, and a dark blue flower cape, and a water-red round-neck coat and a pomegranate red pleated skirt. , Ling Qinglan in a red cloak came in, followed by their personal servant girl.

"Sister-in-law three." Xiao Wenqing greeted her with a blessing.I haven't seen her for a few days, and the third sister-in-law does seem to have lost a lot, but her eyes are shining, she is full of energy, and she has the spirit and confidence of being a housewife.

"Your brother and sister are also here." Cui smiled and nodded in return, then took off her cloak and handed it to the maid beside her, walked up to the prime minister's wife, and said: "Daughter-in-law, please greet mother. Mother is well." Now she also Come and greet me.

Ling Qinglan took off the scarlet embroidered gold and flowered satin cloak on her body and handed it to the maid, and said gracefully to the prime minister's wife: "Granddaughter pays homage to grandma, grandma is blessed." There are two gold hairpins of red jade plum blossoms and two small pink peony silk flowers, which can make people feel happy all over her body.

The prime minister's wife nodded and said with a smile, "Get up. Sulan, you came here early today. Qinglan, you are getting married soon. Don't stay up all night if you are a female celebrity, or you will not be beautiful on the day of your marriage." She ordered "Come here, serve tea to Mrs. Third and Miss Sun." After speaking, she asked Cui Shi, Xiao Wenqing, and Ling Qinglan to sit down.

Xiao Wenqing didn't sit on the prime minister's wife's arhat bed anymore, and chose one of the seats on both sides below.After Cui Shi and Ling Qinglan sat down, they sat opposite to Xiao Wenqing.

"Su Lan, in a few days the Liu Manor will send someone over to ask for an appointment. How are you preparing?" The Prime Minister's wife looked at Ling Qinglan lovingly and said, "Qing Lan is the eldest granddaughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the dowry must be Decent."

Cui immediately said: "Mother, please don't worry, my daughter-in-law will definitely marry Qinglan in a good manner, and won't let her husband's family pick out any flaws."

Ling Qinglan lowered her head slightly in embarrassment when she heard her mother and grandmother discussing her dowry.

"I have a lot of high-quality fabrics shipped to the capital for sale in my warehouse, as well as all kinds of silks and satins that the empresses in the palace rewarded. I picked some bright and lively colors for Qinglan. When I was young, I saved some rare jades. In a few days, I will pick out emerald jade, red jade, and yellow jade to create three sets of fashionable hairstyles for Qinglan." The prime minister's wife said generously.Although these are far inferior to what she gave to her granddaughter Cai Jiayu, they are still generous and very suitable for her status as a grandmother.

Cui immediately said excitedly: "Qinglan, why don't you thank grandma soon?" Gold is not unusual for people like them, what is unusual are those beautiful gems.

Ling Qinglan was pleasantly surprised by her grandmother's generosity, and immediately got up to give a blessing to the prime minister's wife, saying: "Granddaughter thanked grandmother."

Xiao Wenqing saw that her mother-in-law was generous, so she immediately calculated her and Yuxuan's treasury treasures.She can't give more than her mother-in-law, but she can't be too shabby, making Sanbo's family feel that she and Yuxuan are stingy.

"Qinglan, your fourth uncle is a very generous person, and adding boxes to your cousin Jiayu is very important. You are his niece, so adding boxes should not be less than what you gave to Jiayu." The prime minister's wife said with a smile.

Xiao Wenqing was startled for a moment.Is mother-in-law trying to force Yuxuan to lose money?Yuxuan gave Jiayu a pair of priceless emerald unicorns bestowed by the emperor.Yuxuan gave it to ease the relationship between him and his mother and eldest sister, so that she would have a better life after marrying into the prime minister's mansion.Jiayu is a niece with a different surname, and Qinglan is her own niece, so it's really not fair to favor one over the other when it comes to adding boxes from Yuxuan.
