Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 262

"Yes." Xiao Wenhua blushed courageously and said, "Unfortunate things happen in the sky, and people have good and bad times. I hope that in the future, if my father is as unlucky as my father, my wife can take over the important task of taking care of the family business and raising the youngest son." He He and his younger brother Wen Feng saw with their own eyes that the young mother at that time was standing outside the ancestral hall in filial piety, angrily reprimanding the uncles and elders who embezzled her family's land and land titles in front of the patriarchs, village chiefs, and town chiefs, demanding the return of the family property and severely punishing them. A kind of unkind and unrighteous person.They were fascinated by their mother's demeanor at the time, and soon regarded her as their own mother after being adopted by their mother.

"Well, there are accidents in the sky and people have misfortunes..." After taking a sip of tea made with sour plums, Xiao Wenqing pondered.If the little brother Wen Cong hadn't had a strong and self-reliant mother, how could he live a happy life, and how would the direct line of the Xiao family be revived?Wen Hua took precautions to take care of future generations.

"Eldest sister, younger brother heard that the imperial court will assign new scholars in two days. When my position is confirmed, I plan to go back to my hometown to visit my mother and offer sacrifices to my ancestors." Xiao Wenhua said, "Your brother should first ask your mother about the marriage. opinion." It is estimated that the mother's meaning is the same as that of the elder sister, since he has no favorite, he might as well choose a good-tempered daughter-in-law in the capital who is good for himself and the Xiao family.

"You're right. It's a matter for Guangzong to honor your ancestors. You must go home to worship your ancestors." Xiao Wenqing nodded and smiled, "Bring Wen Cong back by the way. He has already decided to study at Bailu Academy. "Lue is standing beside her now, so she will not mention her for the time being.

"Little brother knows." Xiao Wenhua got up and bowed his hands, and said, "Elder sister, I don't know if mother will choose a relative for younger brother after I return to my hometown, so elder sister, please wait for a while, don't show up. There are some eyebrows in the capital, Xiling In my hometown, I want to talk about relatives." In this case, both places will say that the Xiao family is treacherous, and the hometown of Xiling will even say that the Xiao family dislikes poverty and loves wealth.

"I know this. If those families really like you, they can still wait for these few months." Xiao Wenqing said, stretching out his hand to signal Xiao Wenhua not to be too polite, and to sit down and talk.

"Wenhua, your brother-in-law already told me yesterday that the emperor thinks you are too young, so he decided to put you in the Imperial Academy as an editor, and he will learn more from Bachelor Liu of the Imperial Academy, and he will call you when he has the opportunity." Xiao Wenqing smiled. Said, "Congratulations, you will be a seventh-rank official as soon as the court announces."

Crystal Agate Lv'e and Yun Sanniang, who were waiting in the main room, immediately said, "Congratulations to Uncle, Congratulations to Uncle." Madam's natal brothers are promising, and they will do no harm to Madam.

"Really?" Xiao Wenhua was surprised and delighted, and his handsome face, which was trying to maintain a steady face, couldn't help being excited.Under normal circumstances, the No. [-] scholar will be directly awarded the editorship of the Imperial Academy, and the second-best Tanhua will be awarded the editorship of the Imperial Academy. He thought that he was at most a low-ranking scholar, but he did not expect the emperor to give him the official seventh-rank award. Editorial official position, the same level as the second place Tanhua.This really confirms the saying that "someone in the court is good at being an official".

"Do things well with Mr. Liu." Xiao Wenqing urged, "Others give you a chance, you have to work hard yourself, don't disappoint everyone's expectations of you." Liu Shaohan, Yuxuan's sixth brother-in-law, is in charge of the Imperial Academy, Wen Hua Since he has a relationship with him, he will naturally take care of Wen Hua more.As long as Wen Hua works diligently and conscientiously, her promotion in the future may not be slower than the second place in this year's No. [-] pick.

"Yes, big sister." Xiao Wenhua said.Although he felt that he was unfair to other Jinshi in the same class, he would never reject such a favor without knowing how to appreciate it.

"Wen Hua, since you are going to be an official in the capital, you will buy a house in the capital. What kind of house do you plan to buy?" Xiao Wenqing said, "I think your house should not be too small, lest you have to move later." There are plenty of vacancies, but this is someone else's home after all. Wenhua has already established a business and is about to start a family, so it is not suitable for long-term lodging.

"What the elder sister said is true, but the younger brother is going back to his hometown recently, so I have to ask the older sister for the purchase of the house. As for the money, the younger brother received 20 taels of silver from the Ministry of Rites after he became a tribute. Two taels of silver, the 100 taels of silver will be sent by Manager Tian later as payment for the purchase of the house." This reward from the emperor somewhat meant settling expenses.

Xiao Wenhua said embarrassedly, "For the shortcomings, please allow me to pay back in the future." He still doesn't know how much the editor's salary of the Imperial Academy is, and he hopes to pay back a little every month in the future.He has grown up and can no longer let his mother in his hometown spend money on him.

"Wenhua, 120 taels is a lot of money. You can buy a half-new and not old house in a part of the capital." Xiao Wenqing smiled. Because of the management of Ling Yuxuan and her property, she recently asked the steward Ding Bo to help her She chose a good farm store, so she has some knowledge of the prices in the capital.

"Really?" Xiao Wenhua was very surprised.As far as he knew, in Xiling Changhe Town, 120 taels of silver could buy at most a three-entry house, and the capital was very expensive, and 120 taels was not enough to buy a house.

"Leave this matter to me. You can live in your own house when you return to the capital from Xiling." Xiao Wenqing said.The three-entry house in the capital is definitely not available for 120 taels of silver, and the house needs to be repaired after it is bought. The furniture of the original owner has to be replaced if it is not usable. Buying a house and repairing it, adding new furniture, how to save money, it is impossible without 500 taels of silver of.

The eldest brother-in-law passed the Jinshi examination and became an official in the court, and his sister and brother-in-law would always send congratulatory gifts, and this congratulatory gift was a house.Everything is difficult at the beginning, Wenhua wants to take root in the capital, and there will be a lot of money to spend in the future, the 120 taels of silver, after he comes back, she and Yuxuan will return it to Wenhua as a housewarming.
