Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 252

On February [-]th, Xiao Wenqing took Xiao Wencong, who had been reading with his head covered in recent days, and the third sister-in-law asked her to take Ling Qinglan, the granddaughter of the Xiangfu's eldest son, to go outing together.Her younger brother Wen Cong is very popular in the capital, and several of her friends wrote to request that Xiao Xiucai must be taken out for an outing, and they would try their best to bring their young brother over to play with Xiao Xiucai.

Xiao Wencong was only 12 years old, and he was still a child, so he didn't need to guard against men and women. When the ladies and ladies who met Xiao Wenqing saw the famous young scholar, they all teased him for fun.Four young boys were also dragged by their elder sisters for an outing. Seeing Xiao Xiucai surrounded by a group of women, they all hid aside to watch the excitement, giggling and pointing.

Among the noble ladies and noble ladies, the oldest lady's daughter is already five years old. The more she sees Xiao Xiucai who is as beautiful as a baby girl, the more she looks at it, the happier she is. She can't help but joke that Xiao Xiucai and her daughter are engaged How about it?
This seventh lady of the Cui family is the seventh aunt of Miss Cui San. Although she has been married for many years and is still a mother, she has a lively and cheerful personality. Po Tachun, who was not very familiar with Wenqing, also asked to join.

Seeing what she said, Xiao Wencong's white and tender face suddenly seemed to be covered with pink rouge, and he looked away in embarrassment.

"Hey, little scholar is embarrassed. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, blushing is more adorable than my third sister."

"Looking at him up close, he's really pretty. When he grows up, he's bound to be a handsome young man. I don't know which girl is cheaper."

"If you don't make a move now, I'm afraid you won't be able to snatch such an excellent sister-in-law or son-in-law in a few years."

The happy crowd immediately began to talk about it again, and a bold married lady even pinched Xiao Wencong's fair and tender face.Xiao Wencong tried his best to put on a sullen face, letting himself dodge calmly and gently, regretting that he followed his sister out for an outing today.

Xiao Wenqing smiled lightly and said, "It's my little brother's blessing that Madam Seven has taken a fancy to my little brother, but my mother is in charge of his life-long affairs, and I take care of the inconvenience of being a big sister." My brother has really helped her a lot, and he is simply her lucky star. .

Miss Cui San, who was married as Mrs. Murong, immediately smiled and said: "Wen Qing, although my seventh aunt is talking and laughing, it is not impossible to make it true." The dislocation of the Central Station will bring disaster to the Xiao family. Sooner or later, Xiao Wencong will enter the court as an official to revitalize the once-declining Xiao family.There are many daughters of the Cui family, and it is very cost-effective to recruit a young hero with a promising future with a daughter who is not very important.

Xiao Wenqing had no choice but to say, "Let's talk about this later, my brother is still young, and your little cousin is only five years old."

Mrs. Cui Qi was talking and laughing, but didn't pay much attention.Everyone talked about Xiao Wencong, and then mentioned Xiao Wenhua who was taking the exam.Although that person is Mrs. Xiao's adopted son, it represents the first step in the revival of the Xiao family. I don't know how he will fare this time.

Seeing that everyone was very interested in the Xiao brothers, Xiao Wenqing said, "My elder brother Wenhua has been studying in Xiling's hometown before, and he has never seen much of the world. Since he passed the examination, his literary talent should be considered above average in Xiling, right? The capital will try to gather talented people from all over the world, and it is more difficult for him to get in the list."

Because there were serious frauds in the imperial examinations in the previous dynasty, all the answer sheets of the imperial examinations in the current dynasty were all vague and famous.The examiners look at the anonymous answer sheet copied by the clerical staff. They don’t know who wrote the excellent answers and good articles in the circle. After the case files are approved, the examiners and invigilators will take the ranked case files to open the original papers. Case files, candidates looking for case files.In this way, no matter how much background the candidate has, it will not work.

I hope your brother will be named on the gold list as soon as possible.

All the noble ladies and noble ladies said with such blessings.The ones they listened to the most were Xiao Wenqing and Xiao Wencong, the siblings. The two adopted Xiao family brothers only knew that they were excellent, but they were far from being as amazing as Xiao Wencong.

During the outing, Xiao Wenqing discovered a big problem. Xiao Wencong always squinted his eyes and seemed to be struggling to see things in the distance. He was very worried. On the way back, he turned to Huichun Hall and asked Dr. Geng to show him his eyes.

The old doctor Geng happened to be sitting in the hall, checked Xiao Wencong's eyes and said that many scholars have this problem, which is caused by reading too much.He gave Xiao Wenqing a few needles on the head and eyes, and told him to read less and let his eyes rest more. He came every day to get the needles, first for ten days.Xiao Wencong's symptoms are very mild now, and he can still be treated. When the symptoms become severe, there is no good way to do it. He can only see things vaguely for the rest of his life.

Xiao Wencong was quite frightened.Xiao Wenqing returned to the mansion with a lot of eyesight medicine packs prescribed by the doctor, and called Tian Guanshi, who was in charge of taking care of the younger brother's daily life, to make the medicine for the third son.She told Guanshi Tian how to boil the medicine, and told Guanshi Tian that he would send the third son to the Huichuntang drugstore to get an injection from the old doctor Geng every day. some rest.

Steward Tian nodded repeatedly, handed the medicine package to a servant, and passed on the doctor's order to boil the medicine.He is an old servant of Xiao's mansion for many years, Mrs. Xiao still trusts him very much, when Xiao Wencong left home, she told Xiao Wencong to listen to Tian Guanshi, so he can control the underage Xiao Wencong.
