Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 99

Master Luo, the best tailor in Nishang Clothing Workshop, came with a tailor lady.The tailor lady took Xiao Wenqing's measurements. Master Luo observed Xiao Wenqing's behavior, speech and temperament. Finally, he discussed with Mrs. Liu the fabric used for the clothes, the general style, the embroidery of the clothes, and various details. It took a long time before he left.

In late December, Xiao Wenqing finally received a letter that she had been waiting for for a long time.This letter was written by her mother Xiao Ning herself. It is a thick pile of more than [-] sheets. In addition to the longing for her daughter, it also contains the recent situation of the family.

Xiao Ning took her son and daughter to help the coffin back to the hometown, but accidentally lost her daughter, and was in pain and sorrow day and night.She is a married woman, and she has no way to travel far to find her daughter, so she can only pin her hope of finding her daughter on her only son.The son is as talented and intelligent as the daughter. She worked hard to train and teach her son, hoping that he would inherit his father's career, pass the scientific examination into an official, become a high-ranking official in the future, and have the ability to find his lost sister.

The Xiao family's direct lineage has many real estate fields. When Xiao Wenqing's father took his wife and daughter to Changxing to take up his post, he entrusted an old housekeeper and two elders of the Xiao family to manage it on his behalf.Xiao Ning returned to his hometown with his coffin in his arms, and brought a young son who had just turned one year old, so someone became greedy and made a conspiracy to seize the real estate of the direct line.Although Xiao Ning's husband and son-in-law died of illness, she is still a congregation of the sixth rank, and she is not an ordinary widow who can be bullied by her husband's family.She invited the mayor and patriarch of the town, as well as the magistrate of Xiling County, to expose some people's conspiracy openly, and demanded back all her house deeds and land deeds.

There was a pair of orphaned brothers in the distant branch of the Xiao family whose parents had died. The Xiao Ning family looked at them pitifully, and the pair of orphans were also somewhat smart, so they adopted them as foster sons and raised them together. My own descendant of the Xiao family increases the chance of revival.

Her adopted eldest son, Xiao Wenhua, was born on the 14th and September of this year, and her second son, Xiao Wenfeng, is 16 years old, so she is [-] years old this year. Her daughter Xiao Wenqing, who was born in July, is the older sister of the younger brothers.

The three brothers are all studying in a private school in the next village, and are preparing to take the boy's exam next year.The eldest son Xiao Wencong is only 11 years old in Chinese New Year, and Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng. Xiao Ning is very worried that the youngest son will be jealous of his youngest son if he is too smart, so he is advised to participate after he is 14 years old.But Xiao Wencong was stubborn and insisted on taking part, and a student from the private school owner who was "the best among scholars" also recommended him, so she could only allow him to participate in the boy's test.Xiao Ning said in the letter that Xiao Wencong's studies were too smooth, and she personally hoped that the ten-year-old boy would fail the exam and suffer some setbacks.

At the end of the letter, Xiao Ning asked Xiao Wenqing eagerly, when will she go home?
Everything is fine at home...

Looking at the family letter, Xiao Wenqing, who was in tears like rain, sometimes sobbed and sometimes smiled.

"It's really great." Mrs. Liu, who was accompanying Xiao Wenqing, was very happy after getting a general understanding of the current situation of Xiao's family, because only when her mother's family is prosperous can a woman gain a foothold in her husband's family after she gets married.

At the end of the year, businesses are busy, the government is busy, civilians are busy, every household is busy, and the taste of the new year is getting stronger and stronger.Ling Yuxuan also seems to be very busy, and has not come to visit Xiao Wenqing for seven consecutive days.Liu Hanlin went to court every morning and could not go home until evening.Mrs. Liu took care of the affairs of Liu Hanlin's house, and Aunt Liu would sometimes be her helper.But this year, Mrs. Liu did not look for Aunt Liu, but handed over some affairs in her mansion to Xiao Wenqing, so that she could get acquainted with many servants in the front and back yards, and understand how the New Year was celebrated in the Beijing officials' homes.

Buy new year goods, clean the whole house, draw some New Year pictures, write some couplets...

When Xiao Wenqing was busy, he sent a woman to Zhao's house to contact her godmother, and agreed to meet at a time. The mother and daughter met each other at Xu Ji's century-old cloth in the capital.

Xiao Wenqing is a woman who has been written to release her wife. The neighbors around her know her, so it is inconvenient for her to go to Zhao's house again. Every time she meets her godmother, she can only use this method.Mrs. Zhao was considerate of her situation and went to the appointment happily every time.
