Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 385

Knowing that her mother-in-law and younger uncles returned to the capital in recent days, Zhan Feiling didn't go anywhere, just stayed in the mansion while waiting and becoming a female celebrity.

Xiao's mansion is very small, Xiao Wenhua has no property of her own, only the salary of the seventh-rank official who edited the Hanlin Academy; Zhan Feiling's dowry is rich, but she has a carefully trained daughter-in-law and foreign manager in the Zhan mansion to take care of her, so she actually has nothing to do. The cleaning at the end of the year was also because the old lady and the second and third masters were coming, and she ordered the servants to clean them up in advance. She was really busy eating melon seeds in the mansion these days to become a female celebrity.

"Ma'am, one of the servants you sent to wait for the old lady's second master and third master at the gate of the west city came back, saying that the old lady and the others have arrived at the city gate." A servant woman hurried in to report.

Zhan Feiling, who is a female celebrity, immediately ordered: "You immediately tell Steward Tian to prepare to welcome the old lady and the second and third masters, and then let Steward Tian send people to report to the lord and the eldest aunt respectively."

When the servant who delivered the message went out, Zhan Feiling ordered a daughter-in-law in charge by her side to immediately send someone to inform the servants in the old lady's yard to light up all the charcoal basins, lest the room would still be cold after the old lady entered.

After the in-charge daughter-in-law left, Zhan Feiling asked her personal maid to redress herself, put on decent clothes, and then went to the gate of the front yard to wait.

Xiao Wenqing was notified by Zhan Feiling, and immediately asked people to dress all three sons for going out, and redressed herself.Yuxuan is in the military camp today, and his mother can't see this son-in-law for the time being.

Xiaoxiao knew that her grandmother, second uncle and third uncle were coming to the capital a few days ago, and when she learned that they were coming soon, her mother took him there to meet them, and immediately excitedly urged Nanny Zhao to prepare for herself.

A second-rank female sedan chair and two well-furnished soft sedan chairs came out of the Hou's mansion, and were protected by a group of guards and servants to Xiao's mansion.

The gate of Xiao's mansion is still open, waiting for Xiao Wenqing, the great aunt, to come over.The sedan chair stopped after being carried into the front yard. Xiao Wenqing, who was wearing a snow-white fox fur cloak, walked out of the sedan chair holding Xiaoxiao's hand, and asked a small steward who came up to meet her, "Is the old lady here?" Xiaoxiao was wrapped in a brown sable The cloak is a small cloak specially made by the emperor to be made by the clothing workshop in the palace according to his figure.

Seeing Madam Dingbei asking in person, the little steward quickly bowed and said: "Auntie, the old lady and the second and third masters have arrived, and the lady led them to the Changchun Courtyard. The lady told you to go over there when you come."

Xiao Wenqing nodded, turned her head to look at the nannies who were carrying Lang Lang Kangkang off the sedan chair, and ordered, "Hold the young masters well, and don't let them catch a cold." After speaking, she led Xiaoxiao to the Changchun courtyard.She sent someone to buy and renovate this Xiao mansion, and she also came to inspect it herself, and made some arrangements for it, so she knows the layout of several small courtyards in the mansion, and even more knows that Changchun Garden was originally the yard where the former owner took care of his mother , the location is next to the yard of the hostess and hostess. There is a large flower bed and fish pond in the yard, which is the best living environment in Xiaofu.

Xiao's residence is a bit busy. Steward Tian is instructing his subordinates to carry the luggage brought by the old lady, the second master and the third master, and arrange the people's accommodation. Seeing Xiao Wenqing and his party coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Auntie, grandma, the old lady and the second master The three masters are all in Changchun Garden, and Madam is accompanying them." Steward Tian was originally a steward under Xiao's mother, because he went to the capital several times, and later accompanied Xiao Wenhua to Beijing for the exam, Madam Xiao simply gave him up. Xiao Wenhua, so now he calls Mrs. Xiao's mother, brother Wenhua's uncle, second master and third master, and Xiao Wenqing's aunt and grandma. In short, the servants call other people according to the relationship between their master and other people.

"Steward Tian, ​​you have worked hard." Xiao Wenqing nodded to him, and led Xiaoxiao to continue to Changchun courtyard in the back.The front and rear of Xiao's mansion are not very deep, so there is no need for sedan chairs in the mansion.Passing through the Moon Gate that separates the front and back yards, Xiao Wenqing walked eastward along the corridor, and came to the Changchun Courtyard in less than forty meters.

"Auntie is here..."

Seeing Xiao Wenqing and others coming, the servants in the courtyard bowed their knees immediately: "Grand aunt, young master." The two little cousins ​​are still being embraced by the nanny, and the servants don't need to salute them for the time being.

Xiao Wenqing also nodded slightly, and walked towards the main house.A new thick curtain was hung on the door of the main house, and a maid standing by the door announced to the inside while raising the curtain to invite Xiao Wenqing's mother and son, master and servant, to enter.

There are many masters and servants in the main room of the Changchun courtyard. Xiao's mother, who is over forty years old, is sitting on the arhat chair covered with thick brocade cushions, and Zhan Feiling is sitting on the high-backed chair closest to her below her. , brothers Xiao Wenfeng and Xiao Wencong sat opposite Zhan Feiling, and their servants stood behind them.Hearing the servant girl's announcement that Xiao Wenqing was coming, the two brothers Zhan Feiling and Wen Feng Wencong hurriedly got up to greet her.

"Mother." Xiao Wenqing looked at her excitedly after entering the room.Since she got married, their mother and son have not seen each other for more than three years.

"Grand aunt." The servant girl standing in the room stepped forward to salute Xiao Wenqing.Xiao Wenqing took off her and Xiaoxiao's warm cloaks and handed them to the maid, leading Xiaoxiao a few steps forward, deeply blessed, "Mother, my daughter finally sees you again, you make her miss you so much." Saying, Her voice choked up a bit.
