Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 257

Xiao Wenqing started to feel overjoyed. Two days later, the Prime Minister's wife found out, and the Prime Minister's wife quickly sent someone over to comfort her, and gave her a peacock stride and two flower-leaf golden hairpins, a pair that is said to have an anti-pregnancy effect. green jade bracelet.

Xiao Wenqing was feeling overjoyed, so he took the gift and put it in the warehouse.

The Xiao family brothers knew that their sister was very ill, so they were very worried.Xiao Wenhua is an adult, so it is inconvenient to go to other people's back houses frequently. Xiao Wencong has no taboos. He comes to visit Xiao Wenqing every day, and sometimes brings over food bought by their brothers, which is said to be liked by pregnant women.

Because of embarrassment, Xiao Wenqing declined some of the ladies' social activities in spring.Friends learned that they sent servants to congratulate Xiao Wenqing with gifts, and some even came to visit Xiao Wenqing in person.Mrs. Liu of the Hanlin Mansion learned about the situation, and brought her two daughters to visit Xiao Wenqing, and taught Xiao Wenqing some precautions for pregnant women with her own experience.

On March [-]th, Chunwei released the rankings, and many examinees gathered in front of the official office of the Ministry of Rites to watch. Some were overjoyed, some sighed, and some beat their chests and feet.

In the morning, Xiao Wenqing lay on the beauty's couch and squinted lazily, with a thin quilt draped over her body.She has been lethargic recently, and sometimes she falls asleep while squinting.She ate and vomited these days, and she lost a lot of weight.What made her feel at ease was that her husband-in-law Yuxuan was worried about her, and would rather curl up on the Arhat bed outside the dormitory than sleep on the spacious bed in the study.

Yuxuan is not at home during the day, and at night Yuxuan sleeps on the Arhat bed that is covered by a screen outside the dormitory. There are maids watching the night inside and outside the dormitory, so there is no chance for someone to say a few more words to Yuxuan, let alone throw himself into his arms. Give me a hug.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Xiao Wenqing put one hand on his abdomen, enduring the pain of not wanting to eat even though he was very hungry.

"Ma'am, I'm overjoyed. Uncle has won. He is the 110th and seventh tribute on the examination list." After going out for a while, Manao quickly walked to Xiao Wenqing's side and called in a low voice.She knew that Madam was resting with her eyes closed.

After hearing this, Xiao Wenqing opened her eyes suddenly, and said in surprise, "You got it, you actually got it?" Both Wen Hua and Wen Cong said that they had little hope, they had already packed most of their luggage, and they would choose a suitable day to go back after the results were announced. Xiang, why did you hit it by accident?

"Madam, get up slowly." Seeing that Xiao Wenqing was about to get up, Jing Jing quickly reached out to support her.

"Crystal, do my makeup for me. I'm going to the front yard to have a look." Xiao Wenqing asked happily, "Is it because an official came to announce the joy or did my uncle come back from watching the list?"

"The people in the front yard passed on the news that the officials came to announce the good news. The uncle and uncle knew that the list was released today, so they went to watch the list together, but they haven't come back yet. The housekeeper Qi in the mansion has sent a group of servants to look for them. Third Madam already knew, and gave the Annunciation Officer a silver reward instead of you." Manao said.The third lady is in charge of the prime minister's mansion now, and will report to her first if there is anything ahead
"Lue, go to Mr. Liu's side and ask him to make up the reward money from the third lady, and give two taels of silver to each of the servants in Mingchunju." Xiao Wenqing ordered, got up and walked to the dressing table Sit back and let the crystals refresh yourself.Yuxuan was in the palace, but he was well-informed, and when the examiners presented the list of admitted tributes to the emperor, they might also know that Wenhua had passed the exam.

Lue went out to spread the word.Agate opened the suitcase, looking for outing clothes that fit Madam's mood at the moment.

After a while, Xiao Wenqing wore a red silk cloak and took three maids and a nanny to Mingchun Residence in the front yard.Mingchun Juli has exploded like a pot, and everyone is beaming.The third wife, Cui, sent her son Ling Jinghai, who was at home, to come over with firecrackers, and set off firecrackers to greet Xiao Wenhua when the official came back.

When Manager Tian saw Xiao Wenqing coming in, he immediately led his servants to salute her, and said excitedly, "Miss, madam's hard work has not been in vain for many years, and our Xiao family has begun to revive."Mr. Xiao is only this year, and he won the list in the first test, completely beyond everyone's expectations.

"Tian Guanshi, you have worked hard to serve the two young masters." Xiao Wenqing nodded and sat down supported by Crystal.Fu'an, who was helping Manager Tian manage the subordinates in Mingchunju, immediately asked for tea and pastries, so that the sick wife could have some when she had an appetite.

Xiao Wenqing looked around, and said: "The tributes on the list still have to pass the palace examination, I hope Wenhua can perform normally." After passing the palace examination, you will be a Jinshi, and theoretically you can enter the court as an official.

"Definitely, definitely." Tian Guanshi said hastily.

"Fourth aunt, Uncle Xiao's family is so good, he passed the exam the first time." Ling Jinghai, who was sent by his mother to congratulate him because he happened to be at home today, said excitedly.After his eldest brother was adopted under the uncle's name, he became the eldest son of the third family.

"It's purely his luck." Xiao Wenqing said with emotion.Wen Hua thought that the first test was mediocre, the second test was good, and the third test went well, but she never expected to be on the list.

"If you're lucky, you have to have articles and answers that the high school examiners will appreciate." Ling Jinghai said.He was a little confused.He is currently studying in the Imperial College, will he take part in the scientific examination in the future or will he be recommended by his grandfather and father to become an official?If he failed in the scientific examination, he would lose the family's face.In the Imperial College, only those who are confident in their self-sufficiency take part in the scientific examination.

Xiao Wenqing sat here for a while, and the two brothers Xiao Wenhua and Xiao Wencong were personally sent back to Mingchun Residence by the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion.As soon as they entered, the people of Mingchunju set off firecrackers to congratulate them.

"Wen Hua, congratulations on passing the test." Xiao Wenqing smiled, standing up supported by Crystal.

"Sister, you don't feel well, so you don't need to come here in person." Xiao Wenhua quickly stepped forward to salute, and asked Xiao Wenqing to sit down.

"Fourth Young Madam, Uncle Xiao passed the exam, would you like to hold a celebration banquet for him? Candidates should invite relatives and friends to celebrate together when they are listed." The butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion asked politely after saluting Xiao Wenqing.The Xiao family began to revive...
