Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 267

Apart from caring for the baby, Xiao Wenqing cared about her brother's marriage and property purchase.There was no need for Xiao Wenqing to come forward to buy the house. She gave Ding Bo a few orders, and then handed over the matter to Ding Bo's eldest son, Fu An, to practice.After visiting Sixth Sister and meeting Sixth Sister's eldest daughter, she returned to visit the wives who specially came to visit her last time with small gifts.

The wives all had a tacit understanding, and they liked to invite Fourth Ling's wife, Xiao Wenqing, to take a walk in the garden, and during the walk, they would always run into a certain girl or girls from the mansion unexpectedly.Of course, these people will not belittle themselves to let Xiao Wenqing choose, but it is really a coincidence that the girl who is going to kiss has a close sister with her.

Xiao Wenqing kindly talked with the girls who were highlighted by the wives, carefully looked at their appearance, figured out their true character, and immediately started painting when he got home.She is good at painting, designing embroidery patterns, and has a clear memory of things, but it is the first time that she specializes in painting portraits.When the rice paper in Ling Yuxuan's study was almost finished, he managed to paint the portraits of the four girls he had met, and they felt that they were [-]% similar.

She should draw a portrait of Wen Hua, and when he takes a fancy to the girl, give his portrait to the girl to cultivate his relationship in advance.

Thinking so, Xiao Wenqing ordered people to go out to buy new rice paper, and began to try to paint the portrait of the elder brother.

In April, the Prime Minister's Mansion was extremely busy, because Prime Minister Ling and Liu Hanlin married again, and Prime Minister Ling's granddaughter was going to marry the eldest son of Liu Hanlin's first wife.Xiao Wenqing was pregnant, and she didn't care about the internal affairs of the prime minister's mansion, so no one bothered her.She only went to Ling Yulan, who was about to get married, and asked if her wedding dress, bed quilt cover, pillow and bed curtain were all finished, and then helped her embroider a pair of mandarin duck and water pillow covers.

On the 180th, the prime minister's residence distributed dowry, and [-] sets of dowry were enough for Ling Yulan's daughter-in-law's face, and everyone in her husband's family was full of face.On the [-]th, Liu Zishu, the eldest son of Liu Hanlin, carried eight sedan chairs to carry the granddaughter of Prime Minister Ling's family back to worship and marry him.Because Liu Hanlin was originally Prime Minister Ling's granddaughter, half of the relatives of the two families overlap, what should I do?The relatives on both sides are divided, half in the Ling family and the other in the Liu family.In the past two years, Ling Yuxuan has been very close to the sixth sister and the sixth brother-in-law. The sixth sister can be said to be Xiao Wenqing's benefactor, and the sixth brother-in-law and his son can be regarded as the mentors of the Xiao brothers. Ling Yuxuan took Xiao Wenqing to Liu's residence for the wedding banquet.

Three days later, the married daughter returned home with her husband and son-in-law. Xiao Wenqing saw Ling Yulan, Mrs. Liu Shao, who had put up her hair bun.The newlyweds are sweet, Mrs. Liu Shao's eyes are moist and her cheeks are rosy, and the corners of her eyes add the charming and shyness unique to a bride.She brought two maids with her, they were her original personal maids, and they went to Liu's house with her.Xiao Wenqing knew that these were dowry maids, but she didn't know how Mrs. Liu would deal with them in the future.Liu Zishu is as upright as his father, so he should not covet his wife's dowry maid like Mr. He.

In May, the pomegranate blossoms were in full bloom, and Xiao Wenqing, who was wearing a pomegranate dress, was also pregnant in May, and her belly appeared pregnant.Because she is the first child, and the first child she was pregnant with was conspired to miscarry, she and Yuxuan took extra care to protect the child, and the maids around her were even more cautious. alert.

Xiao Wenqing's godmother Zhao Auntie came to visit Xiao Wenqing several times, because she saw that she already had an experienced nanny by her side, so she didn't stay temporarily to take care of Xiao Wenqing. The experience of caring for a baby.Xiao Wenqing and the maids listened with relish, learning from their experience.

Another morning after the rain, Xiao Wenqing took a leisurely walk in the garden, and then walked around to Xinyi Courtyard to greet her mother-in-law.Although her mother-in-law exempted her from morning and evening meditation because she was pregnant, she didn't want to lose her mind, so she went to pay her respects every two or three days to show her filial piety.She was cautious, and every time she passed by, Crystal Agate and Yun Sanniang would not leave, just in case something happened to her.

"Wenqing, are you five months pregnant?" Mrs. Prime Minister asked Xiao Wenqing kindly after she sat down.

"Yes, mother." Xiao Wenqing said softly.The mother-in-law still used that kind of incense in her room, but because it was the incense that Yuxuan had someone secretly change, she wasn't worried that something would happen to herself and her child.

"Is the baby okay, is there any fetal movement?" Prime Minister's wife asked kindly, her eyes fell on Xiao Wenqing.

Xiao Wenqing stretched out his hand to gently cover her protruding belly, and said affectionately: "The little guy is very energetic, and sometimes he moves around continuously." Yuxuan learned that her baby started to move, so he kept holding her hand all night. Stomach, it took almost two sticks of incense time before the little guy moved.At that time, he said excitedly that the child could move.

"It's good if there is fetal movement." The prime minister's wife nodded.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law specifically asked the doctors in Huichuntang. The two doctors who are good at gynecology told my daughter-in-law in detail about the things that pregnant women must pay attention to. Now the chef in the kitchen of Fushouyuan strictly follows the doctor's instructions and removes the items that are not suitable for pregnant women. menu." Xiao Wenqing said, "Yuxuan is worried about her daughter-in-law, and she doesn't allow her to eat indiscriminately." She lightly glanced at the fruits placed in front of her, yellow peaches, apricots, bananas, pregnant women will have no problem eating them .

"Pregnant women are a bit shy. It's good to ask the doctor in advance." The prime minister's wife nodded, paused, and said hesitantly, "Wenqing, there is something that I, a mother-in-law, can't help but want to say."

Xiao Wenqing was slightly taken aback, and said respectfully, "Mother, please tell me."

"Wenqing, if a man like us doesn't have a concubine, his colleagues will look down on him if he goes out. As a virtuous wife, we have to consider everything for our husband and son-in-law," said the prime minister's wife, " I heard people say that you often went to some wives to meet concubine girls from their families a few days ago, are you planning to give Yuxuan a concubine?"

If a concubine daughter of an aristocratic family married off, it was a proper house; if she was a concubine to someone of the same social class as the family, most of them could be called noble concubines.Although noble concubines are equal to other concubines in name, within the family, their status is higher than good concubines and maid concubines.Mothers are valued by their sons, and sons are valued by their mothers. If the principal wife has no legitimate sons, the family will give priority to the son of the concubine as the legitimate son under the name of the principal wife.

Xiao Wenqing felt chills when she heard this, the mother-in-law was finally going to meddle in the private affairs of her son and daughter-in-law.
