Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 387

Xiao Wenfeng bent down and hugged Xiaoxiao up and down, and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, Xiaoxiao is indeed the son of brother-in-law, and he looks healthy and strong." Communication between Xiling and the capital is inconvenient. The family letters were not very good, so my mother was always in a hurry, so she went to Beijing with their brothers.

He looked at Xiaoxiao with a smile, and teased him: "Xiaoxiao, please call me Third Uncle again." He was originally the youngest in the family, but this time he came to the capital and suddenly had three nephews.

"Third uncle." Xiaoxiao said, "Are you going to be the No. [-] scholar this year?" A few days ago, the second cousin of the Liu family accompanied the sixth aunt to the Hou's mansion, and quietly told him not to forget to ask, and then sent someone to tell her.

"No." Xiao Wencong replied, "Xiaoxiao, I want to travel around Daqing to study."

During the two years at White Hart Academy, he had read all the books in the academy, and the teachers could not teach him much.The teachers all advised him not to rush to pursue utilitarianism. Traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books. He should understand the real society and apply what he has learned.This is the same as his mother's elder sister's meaning that "studying is like talking on paper", so he decided to travel to study, travel around Daqing, and visit the Confucian scholars scattered all over the country.The capital city was his first stop.

"Wen Cong, are you going to study abroad?" Xiao Wenqing asked happily, "Do you want to ask your brother-in-law for two highly skilled guards?" bodyguards.

"If my brother-in-law has extra manpower, I'm very happy to hire two of you." Xiao Wencong said.If he wants to travel for a long time, he will definitely need guards, and his brother-in-law has a spare first-class guard.

"Well, I'll talk to your brother-in-law when he comes back from the military camp." Xiao Wenqing said, looking at the two younger brothers, feeling happy for their growth.Wen Feng is 20 years old, and Wen Cong is 16 years old. They are youths.Several wives are already thinking about the marriage of these two brothers, and when she and her mother have time to communicate in private.

After Xiao Wenhua received the news from the mansion, he rushed home early. He couldn't contain his excitement when he saw his mother and younger brothers.Although there are sisters, brothers-in-law and father-in-law in the capital to help him, he feels lonely. Now that his mother and brothers are here, he hopes they can live in the capital for a long time.Boys will come out to fight for their careers when they grow up, and everyone is worried about their mother staying in their hometown alone.This time, he will join his eldest sister and younger brothers to persuade his mother to settle down in the capital, where he and Fei Ling will serve.

The male master of Dingbei Hou Mansion was in the barracks, so Xiao Wenqing took the children and stayed in Xiao Mansion for dinner before going back.The mother of the Dingbei Houfu and the genius younger brother have arrived in the capital, and his second younger brother will still come to participate in the spring scientific examination next year. Many noble ladies know about this on the third day.

Mrs. Zhan admired this mother-in-law very much. Her most beloved youngest daughter was a daughter-in-law. When she was notified, she immediately asked someone to prepare a gift, and then went to Xiao's residence to visit her mother-in-law.

When the two in-laws met for the first time, they had a good impression of each other.Xiao's mother prepared gifts for a return visit the next day, and met the old grandmother of the Zhan family, Mrs. Minister of the Ministry of War.Because Xiao's mother and children are excellent, and she is also dignified and elegant, the female family members of Zhanfu have a good impression of her, and they want her to come and go frequently before she leaves.Because of Zhan Feiling's example, several wives were thinking about whether they should raise the matter with the old lady and recruit the second son of the Xiao family as their grandson-in-law?The fat and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders.

A few days later, Mo Yuxuan came back from the military camp. After freshening up, he came to visit his mother-in-law, and invited his mother-in-law and two brothers-in-law to his residence.The two families moved around frequently.As for Wen Cong's study tour, he needed one or two guards with high martial arts skills, and his own guards needed to go out with him, so he wrote to his second brother Ling Yulou, and asked him to borrow two reserve guards who were raised in the mansion and had nothing to do.

Xiao Wencong was grateful to Liu Hanlin and his son for taking care of him. On the second day in the capital, he dragged his second brother Xiao Wenfeng to the door to thank him with generous gifts.At the end of the year, Liu Hanlin and his son were very busy, so Mrs. Liu asked her second son Liu Zidan, who was already on vacation at home, to go to the front yard to receive the Xiao brothers.

The three young men were all scholars, so they started talking about learning in the front yard.Knowing that Xiao Wenfeng was going to participate in next year's Spring Festival, Liu Zidan's heart moved, should he also participate?The students of Guozijian can directly participate in Chunwei as long as they sign up. Officials who accept the favor of their grandparents and fathers are always not as confident as those who have passed the exams.

"Brother Zidan, why didn't you participate, for fear of losing face?" Xiao Wencong, who used to be very close to Liu Zidan, said excitedly, "Do you know that officials who were born in scientific examinations have always looked down on the children of aristocratic families who have been favored by their ancestors? Many people who are willing to make friends with the children of aristocratic families are flattering, but in fact they are delusional in their hearts that the aristocratic family will promote themselves." Hmph, it's not because of relatives, and one's own talents are not enough to win over the aristocratic family officials, which aristocratic family officials would waste family resources to promote outsiders?
Liu Zidan, who had always wanted to take part in the imperial examination, was provoked by Xiao Wencong, and immediately shouted: "Who said I won't take part? I will go to the teachers of the Imperial College tomorrow and ask them to write a recommendation letter for me." He took the cover of the Imperial College The recommended documents with the red seal can directly enter the examination room for the examination.

Xiao Wenfeng, who knew the younger brother very well, shook his head lightly. The younger brother is getting more and more cunning, and he will soon benefit from Second Master Liu's plan.
