Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 248

"Come here..." After Xiao Wenqing sent the crystal out, he began to call others.

"Ma'am." Fu'an led a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy to the door of the main room and bowed.The lady was still standing next to the maidservant Lue, and now the caller must have to run errands outside, and this job is probably not suitable for a maidservant, so he came over quickly.

Looking at Fu'an, Xiao Wenqing ordered: "Fu'an, go to Liu Hanlin's mansion and send a letter, saying that the uncle has arrived in the capital, and I want to take the little uncle over to meet him." The servants are easy to buy.On the third day she ordered Ding Bo, a prostitute brought in four young boys between the ages of 12 and 14.Xiao Wenqing chose two clever ones, named them Xin'an Xinning, and arranged for them to be brought to Fu'an Funing.When the two new servants were ready to serve their master, she and Yu Xuan let Fu'an Funing go outside to work.

"Yes, ma'am." Fu'an cupped his hands and led Xin'an, the new servant who was about to replace him, to leave.

During half a stick of incense, Haitang led a scholar in a green robe and a man-lifting scarf.This scholar was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a fair and handsome face, red lips and white teeth, a medium build, slightly thin shoulders, and a gentle and calm temperament.

In another two or three years, the eldest brother will become a mature man with a personable manner.

When Xiao Wenqing saw her, she stood up and greeted her.

"Little brother Wenhua pays homage to elder sister." The handsome scholar in green shirt entered the main room and bowed to Xiao Wenqing who was dressed in a simple and elegant lady's attire.A young servant and a long follower behind him also bowed deeply to Xiao Wenqing.

"Wen Hua, my siblings don't need to be polite. You have traveled hard, please sit down and rest." Xiao Wenqing stepped forward and said, with a gentle smile on her face.Although when she was in her hometown, he was adopted because he was an adult and needed to guard against men and women with her, but after all, he is a member of the same clan, or a sibling, and there is still a family relationship.

"Sister Xie." Xiao Wenhua said modestly, and waited for Xiao Wenqing to sit down before sitting on the high-backed boxwood chair covered with dark green cushions.

"Lu'e, go make tea right away, and ask someone to bring some freshly made pastries to the kitchen." Xiao Wenqing sat back in the Luohan chair and immediately ordered Lu'e to serve the young master.It's almost time for Shen Shi, and my eldest brother may be hungry all the way here.

"Yes, miss." Lue immediately went down to make tea, and at the same time ordered the little maid to bring pastries from the kitchen.

After Xiao Wenhua sat down, he exchanged greetings, "How is the eldest sister today? Where's brother-in-law?" He knew that the Hou family was as deep as the sea, and since he entered the prime minister's mansion, he knew that the courtyard was deep and there were more complexities hidden in it.

Xiao Wenqing said, "Everything is fine with your brother-in-law."

Xiao Wenhua took out a letter from the inner pocket of his sleeve, and said, "Sister, this is a letter from your mother." He pointed to the package in the hands of the servant and the chief, and said, "These are from your mother to you and your brother-in-law. thing."

The second-class maid standing in the room immediately stepped forward to take it and handed it to Xiao Wenqing.Yun Sanniang looked around, stepped forward to take the big package from the servant and Chang Sui, and put it on the table next to Xiao Wenqing.

Xiao Wenqing blinked her increasingly wet eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Wen Hua, how is mother, old man?" Grabbing the family letter, her hands trembled a little.In this era, if a daughter marries far away, she may never be able to contact her natal family for the rest of her life.

"Elder sister, my mother has always been in good health. When my younger brother left, she was also full of energy. She repeatedly told me not to push, and to go home early after the results were released, so as not to worry her." Xiao Wenhua comforted Xiao Wenqing, "Wen Feng is still at home, He will serve his mother."

"My second brother is going to have to work hard at home." Xiao Wenqing nodded.In this world, men are respected, no matter how noble a woman is, she can't speak on many occasions, so there is 16-year-old Wen Hua at home, and it is more convenient for her mother to do things.

"Miss, eldest son, the kitchen has made rose crystal cake, red bean jujube cake, and sweet-scented osmanthus shortcake today. Try it." Lue led the little maid Jingui Haitang in, and put two servings of brewed tea and exquisite pastries separately. Go to Xiao Wenqing and Xiao Wenhua, and then step aside.

Xiao Wenqing looked at the young servant and long follower standing behind Xiao Wenhua, and said: "Lue, take the eldest son's people down to rest, and also have some tea and refreshments." The status of the sisters.

The servant and the long follower immediately looked at Xiao Wenhua, and when Xiao Wenhua nodded, they bowed to Xiao Wenqing and said, "Thank you, Miss." After speaking, they followed Lue who walked in front of them and exited the main room.

Xiao Wenhua gave way, and began to drink tea and eat pastries.After taking a sip of tea, Xiao Wenqing began to read the thick family letters, and then missed her mother, and couldn't help crying.My mother said in a letter from home that everything in the family is said, please don’t worry about her, and in the in-law’s house, she must serve her father-in-law and husband-in-law wholeheartedly, be friendly to her sister-in-law, and never fight for power. From the beginning, she was interested in her inner husband-in-law's renunciation.The Ling family was noble, and the daughter of the Xiao family was a high-married daughter. The mother was always worried that she would be despised and bullied in her husband's family, and believed that only her son-in-law's protection could allow her to survive in the prime minister's mansion.
