Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 336

The end of the year is approaching in a blink of an eye, and every household is busy for the Spring Festival.Xiao Wenqing was especially busy, because after Mo Yuxuan inherited the Mo family, the emperor returned all the property of the Hou family sealed in the treasury to Mo Yuxuan.General Mo fought in the Northwest battlefield for 30 years. The spoils he received in each battle, the rewards given by the former emperor, and the dowry brought by the Mo family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, when added up, Mo Yuxuan's personal assets soared by more than ten times in an instant. .

Mo Yuxuan fully trusted his wife and handed over all the family property to his wife for management.On weekdays, Xiao Wenqing, with the assistance of Ding Bo, the head of foreign affairs, took turns to look at the production accounts of Mo Yuxuan and her more than forty shops, six villages, thousands of land properties, and three hills. Zhuangzi paid the rent and took inventory of the warehouse. She was glad that her morning sickness period had passed and she had the energy and strength to deal with internal and external affairs.

Busy until the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, before Xiao Wenqing had time to take a breather, Mo Yuxuan sent someone to send a letter to her, asking her to prepare three hundred altars of fine wine and four thousand pigs and sheep to send to the military camp, saying that he personally paid for the invitation of military attaches at all levels in the Phoenix Military Camp and left and right soldiers. Battalion soldiers celebrate New Year.

Xiao Wenqing hurriedly sent the steward to buy a large number of items, and after counting them, they sent them to the barracks.In order to be friendly to the generals and soldiers, Yu Xuan really spent a lot of thought and means.

"Is Lord Hou not planning to come back for the New Year?" Chun Li, who was taking care of Xiaoxiao, asked.She couldn't read, and she couldn't do it if she wanted to help his wife read a few unimportant account books.Mrs. Zhao's mother-in-law is sick, and Mrs. Zhao asked for leave to go home to take care of her mother-in-law. The only thing she can do to help his wife is to take care of the young master.

"Probably not." Xiao Wenqing rubbed the center of his brows, "Master Hou is focusing all his attention on the army now. Soldiers and most of the low-level military officers are not allowed to leave the barracks and go home for the New Year. Heart." He threw all the housework to her.She is both his wife and his housekeeper.

"Oh, Master Hou has worked so hard." Chun Li said.Her former uncle's official duties were very relaxed, and he often went in and out of restaurants and brothels with his colleagues, drinking and listening to music.Only after comparison did she realize how mediocre and incompetent my uncle is, and the so-called knowledgeable and versatile is just to coax an illiterate fool like her.She was so stupid before, she was tempted by that kind of embroidered pillow.

"He's happy after working so hard, let him go." Xiao Wenqing said with a smile.Yuxuan is a born general, suitable for military camps and battlefields, being a comfortable Dragon Scale Guard is really frustrating to him, no wonder he often goes out to do things outside of the Dragon Scale Guard's authority in disguise.

"Mother, Daddy...go home?" Xiaoxiao, who was hugging and rolling on the carpet with General Dog, thought of Daddy when her mother and aunt mentioned Lord Hou.

"Xiaoxiao, your father is very busy as a general in the military camp, and he may not be able to go home during the New Year." Xiao Wenqing said, "You have to wait patiently, father will definitely come back to pick you up and ride a horse."

"Oh." Xiaoxiao listened, and continued to play with his puppy general.He missed his father very much when his father left for a few days, but now, his father never came back, he had a lot of fun with the puppy general every day, and he didn't miss his father anymore.

In the capital of the Daqing Dynasty, there was a tradition of burning paper to worship ancestors on New Year's Eve. Xiao Wenqing is now a wife of the Mo family, so it is inconvenient to go to the Ling mansion to burn paper for the ancestors of the Ling family.In the afternoon, wearing Tsing Yi, she carried Xiao Xiao, who was also in Tsing Yi, to the Ling Mansion, and asked her third elder brother Ling Yulou and eldest nephew Ling Jingquan to lead Xiao Xiao in to kowtow to her grandfather, and then hurried back with Xiao Xiao to prepare for the Mo family's ancestor worship ceremony.

The head of the family, the only adult man of the Mohist family, is not at home, how will the ancestor worship ceremony be held?

Outside the ancestral hall, Xiao Wenqing, who was not allowed to enter the ancestral hall according to the tradition, once again knelt down and taught Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, you go in with the loyal grandfather, Grandpa Qin. If they tell you to kneel and kowtow, you should kneel and kowtow. .Your father can't come back from the military camp, you are a boy, and you want to replace your father to offer incense, kowtow, and burn paper to your ancestors."

"Well, I will." Fifteen-month-old Xiaoxiao replied, looking into the ancestral hall curiously.The scope of his activities is near the back house Hongyunju, the front yard is not often visited, and he has no impression of such a remote place as the ancestral hall.

"Young Lord, please come with us." Qin Fang, who was dressed in black, bent over and said softly.These old servants of the soldiers are now living in the Mo Mansion for the elderly.Lord Hou and his wife both respected them and sent someone to take care of their daily life. Their old age was very happy.The old guards trained the young guards in the mansion if they were interested, and the two old servants cleaned the ancestral hall when they had nothing to do, recalling the past of the Mo mansion, and praying for the future of the Mo mansion.

Xiaoxiao turned around when she heard the words, raised her head and walked in with Qin Fang.Qin Fang, Mo Zhong and the others watched and praised in their hearts. The young master has the style of a general at a young age, and General Mo has successors.

"General, two major generals, today is New Year's Eve to worship your ancestors, and your descendants will offer incense and kowtow to you." Qin Fang bowed and began to preside over the ceremony.Mo Zhong was old and had bad eyesight, so he could only stand aside and listen.

Inside, Xiaoxiao listened to Qin Fang's words, and obediently carried out every step of ancestor worship.

Outside, Xiao Wenqing led the servant girls to stand in front of the gate of the ancestral hall, with futons placed in front of them, and bowed down with his son.Bad habits, women are regarded as people from other families at home, and women are still regarded as outsiders by their husband's family when they get married.

Here Xiaoxiao was still kowtowing in the ancestral hall, when the voices outside suddenly became noisy.

Kneeling Xiao Wenqing turned her head to look, and saw Mo Yuxuan hurried back.
