Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 268

"Wenqing, you are so virtuous. You generously took a concubine for your husband and son-in-law when you were inconvenient." The smiling wife of the prime minister said to herself, "Which concubine did you pick? I hope that girl With a gentle temperament, I can love you as a sister and serve Yuxuan well together."

"Mother." Xiao Wenqing took a deep breath and said calmly, "My daughter-in-law visited those wives because my daughter-in-law was upset that they came to visit her in person during that time. My daughter-in-law's eldest brother, Wen Hua, was very grateful to him. If you are interested, come to me to talk about it. The daughter-in-law always needs to give them some responses." She remembered that when she was embarrassed, her mother-in-law often went out to visit friends and visit her biological daughter and granddaughter. Favors him, and has the willingness to marry a daughter and recruit a son-in-law.

"That's right." The prime minister's wife immediately showed disappointment, looking at the maids around her, she suddenly said, "Chunxiang Xiaxiang Qiuxiang Dongxiang has served me for five or six years, and they are all gentle and dutiful girls. Why don't you pick two girls?" past."

"Chunxiang, Xiaxiang, Qiuxiang and Dongxiang, the four of you are not young anymore, and I can't keep you for a long time. Which of you wants to go to Fushouyuan to serve the fourth son and fourth young lady?"

The prime minister's wife did not wait for Xiao Wenqing to speak, and said, "You are maids, so don't think too much. If you can give birth to a boy and a half for the Ling family in the future, the Ling family will not treat you too badly." The princes of the prime minister's mansion are already high-ranking third-rank officials at a young age, so even if they have sons, they are not eligible to be promoted as concubines.

The maidservants of Sixiang looked at each other in dismay, some were shocked, some secretly delighted, some hesitated to speak, and some peeped at Xiao Wenqing's face.The fourth son is handsome and elegant, with both civil and military skills. He is the head of the four handsome men in the capital that the emperor personally sealed.

"Mother." Xiao Wenqing raised her voice slightly, "My daughter-in-law will take care of Yuxuan's affairs, so I don't need to worry about my mother."

The prime minister's wife shook her head and said, "You sent the dowry maid back to your hometown." Isn't one of the functions of the dowry maid to serve the uncle instead of the lady when she is inconvenient?She sent away the only dowry maid she brought over, clearly because she didn't want her husband to accept her dowry maid.

"Mother, Lue doesn't understand the language of the capital city well and is not used to the food of the capital city. Her whole family lives in Xiao's house in Xiling. She often misses her hometown and relatives, so my daughter-in-law asked her to go back."

Xiao Wenqing paused, and said tactfully, "My daughter-in-law asked Yuxuan beforehand, and Yuxuan knew about her decision to send the dowry maids back to her hometown, and she also persuaded me to buy a few maids to teach her, and wait for the big maids around her to marry one after another. Someone can use it." Yuxuan didn't intend to accept the house from the maids around her, so it wasn't that she was not virtuous, but Yuxuan didn't want it.

After listening to the prime minister's wife, she was thoughtful. After a long time, she said, "My son puts all his energy into his career and forgets his responsibilities as a man."

Xiao Wenqing looked at her mother-in-law with a calm face, and the lake in her heart was churning with huge waves.Is the mother-in-law trying to force her to take a concubine for Yuxuan?Just like how the old lady forced Mrs. He.But her current situation is better than that of Mrs. He. She is pregnant, which proves that she can have children.In addition, she has been married for less than a year, and no dignitary or noble who pays attention to etiquette and loves face will not disrespect her daughter-in-law's natal family and can't wait to take a concubine for her son.

"The responsibility of a man is to pass on the family line and prosper the family. My Ling family moved from the ancestors to the capital, and passed it on for several generations, and almost broke the inheritance of incense. When it comes to the generation of the master, I am magnanimous. When I was young, I helped him take concubines. Tongfang, the next generation of the Ling family finally has four sons. It is a pity that the eldest son died young and did not leave behind a boy and a half girl, and the second son died at the age of three, as long as the third and fourth sons grow up smoothly and start a family."

Slowly took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and the prime minister's wife continued, "Your third sister-in-law is the most reassuring and gratifying to me. The third house is under her hard work, and the three sons and three daughters have all grown up safely. There is a concubine in the yard who is about to give birth again. It is really thriving."

The prime minister's wife looked at Xiao Wenqing and said about the dangers of the single seedlings of the previous generations of the Ling family and the hard work of herself and the third daughter-in-law, and then said earnestly, "Wenqing, you are a regular wife. Be generous and take the initiative to arrange a concubine for your husband. , let them help you to prosper the four houses. Concubines and Tongfang, they are only used to give birth to children for you and Yuxuan, and they are not worthy of your jealousy for them." This is what mothers of rich families teach their daughters, with such a concept His wife is exactly what a man likes.

Xiao Wenqing pursed her lips bitterly, and said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law will handle this matter on her own. Please don't worry about Yuxuan." Before Mrs. He got married, her mother must have taught her the same way, so she After the husband has taken a concubine, he will have to take the initiative to accept a concubine for the husband, so as to please the mother-in-law and husband.

"Wenqing, I heard that since you were pregnant, Yuxuan often stays out at night, is it true?" Mrs. Prime Minister asked, her tone suddenly became serious.

"Mother, Yuxuan just doesn't come here occasionally, not often. He is busy with business and can't come back." Xiao Wenqing replied, guessing in her heart, her mother-in-law would say that Yuxuan must have found an excuse to find a girl outside.

"Do you believe everything a man says? You are too simple." The prime minister's wife immediately shook her head and sighed, "Yu Xuan has practiced martial arts since childhood, and his body is much stronger than ordinary men. The wife doesn't touch the maid in the mood, so she can only go out to hunt wild food a few times."

"..." Xiao Wenqing silently lowered her head.She knows better than her mother-in-law how good Yuxuan's body is. If he can't touch her, can't she take the initiative to touch him?Every time she took the initiative, Yuxuan was very happy and actively cooperated.

"Women outside are not clean. If Yuxuan gets into some kind of dirty disease, the fourth bedroom will be finished, and the reputation of the Ling family for more than a hundred years will also be tarnished." The wife of the prime minister said displeased, "Wenqing, this matter You are responsible!" Her brows were tightly frowned on her rich fair face, and the wrinkles at the corners of her mouth drooped majestically.

Xiao Wenqing had no choice but to bow and said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law knows. My daughter-in-law will keep Yuxuan at home."

The prime minister's wife was a little satisfied now, and asked softly: "Wen Qing, what do you think of my Sixiang maids? They are beautiful, docile, and they are the maids I have used for many years. Let them serve you He Yuxuan, I am relieved."

As she spoke, she ordered Sixiang's servant girls to stand in the middle together and let Xiao Wenqing choose.These four beautiful maids were carefully selected by her to be kept by her side, each with its own characteristics, any man would be tempted.
