The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 527 Arriving in Danzhou
Danzhou, Xunfu.

Qin Wanren had not yet arrived in Danzhou City, the streets and alleys were already rumored that the second young master of the Xun family brought back a dubious wild woman after fighting outside.

Master Xun was very angry when he heard the news, while Mrs. Xun was very sad.

Their eldest son, Xun Cheng, seemed to be naughty at ordinary times, but at least he was honest and found a good job in the Danzhou government.On the contrary, it was the second son, Xun Che, who had a good civil job and insisted on joining the army, and was trapped in Qucheng as soon as he entered the barracks.The two were so scared that they couldn't sleep well for several months.

Finally, the imperial court sent troops to break the siege of Qucheng, but Xun Che, who had just returned home not long ago, suddenly disappeared, and finally got the letter that he was sent to the southwest plateau to carry out a secret mission and would be back soon.

Mrs. Xun discussed with her husband, and quickly told Xun Che about a marriage, and tied the son tightly at home.Mr. Xun thought his wife's proposal was excellent, and the two hit it off immediately, and they chose a daughter-in-law from various high-ranking families in Danzhou.After choosing and choosing, there are a few ladies who are very good, and they have ordered people to prepare portraits, and they are waiting for Xun Che to return to the house.Unexpectedly, Xun Che actually brought back a woman who didn't know where he came from, which made the two of them very angry.

"Ma'am, you said that Che'er has been very obedient since he was a child, how could he do such absurd things. Since ancient times, marriage was ordered by his parents and a matchmaker. If he brought back a woman from a mountain village like this, he might tell him to marry her now." , Those high-ranking families also have to complain." Da Xun was so angry that he almost slapped the table, "Our family has just arrived in Danzhou, and the foundation is not stable, so we need to get acquainted with the local people. The best way is to It is to let Cheng'er and Che'er get married to a woman from a wealthy local family, you can see how Che'er has done this, it's really pissing off."

Mrs. Xun frowned: "I heard from Wan Hou that Che'er was ambiguous with a little maid in the academy, and now that she has brought back a wild girl from the southwest, I think Che'er has to get married quickly before we can make a decision." Heart. Master, don't worry, I will definitely not let Che'er bring that wild girl back to our house."

While the couple were talking, Xun Cheng strode into the hall and said with a smile, "Father, mother, don't underestimate the woman Xun Che brought back."

Mrs. Xun looked at Xun Cheng in surprise: "Cheng'er, do you know who the woman your brother brought back is?"

Xun Cheng handed a copy of the household registration book in his hand to the Xuns and his wife: "Father, mother, please take a look at the name register of this woman named 'Wan'an'."

Mrs. Xun stood up and moved closer to Mr. Xun. The two looked at each other, and looked at Xun Cheng in disbelief: "How... how is it possible?"

"Why is this impossible? This name is stamped with the official seal, and it was sent to me by Mr. Mulu in Peijun Prefecture, and asked me to pass it on to you two." Xun Cheng said with a smile, "What you two just said The women and girls of the mountain village are proper noble girls."

"But... but all noble girls have a prominent family background. But why does this woman have no parental relationship, and she is the only one who is noble." Master Xun said puzzledly.

Xun Cheng smiled slightly: "One person can become a noble, which shows that this woman Wan'an is not simple. I guess the identity is mysterious and cannot be explained to outsiders. We can only inform our family in this way, so that we can rest assured of the woman's safety. The identity is definitely good enough to match up with our Xun family, maybe we can even climb up to others."

Mrs. Xun looked at the name book and sighed deeply: "Even if this is the case, this girl named Wan An and Che'er have to have three books and six ceremonies to marry Che'er. If she doesn't have a high court, how can we go through this set of procedures? ?”

Xun Cheng looked at his mother with a smirk: "Mother, you called someone a wild girl just now, but after seeing this name, you became Miss Wan'an?"

"You brat," Mrs. Xun glared at Xun Cheng, "I'm here to tell you business, and you're here to make fun of me."

Master Xun looked over the name book many times: "Cheng'er, what your mother said is right. Even if we know that this girl is from a noble family, we don't know how much the betrothal gift will be. I don’t know where to send it.”

Mrs. Xun continued, "I don't know if Miss Wan'an has a family background, and if she can have a dowry of honor. If there is no dowry, our family will not look good."

Mr. Xun nodded when he heard it: "Madam is right. Although our family doesn't care how much dowry the woman's family can give. But if there is no money, it really can't be justified."

Xun Cheng shook his head helplessly: "Father, mother, I don't have to worry about this kind of thing. I just forward a letter, and I can't care about anything else." After finishing speaking, Xun Cheng fanned the wind with his fan, He turned around and left the hall with big strides.

Mrs. Xun took the booklet from Master Xun and held it in front of her, and read it many times.The worries just now are gone, and new worries appear again.

At the Danzhou City Wharf, Qin Wan got off the boat and stepped onto the plank road, seeing countless ships moored on the shore, the coconut wind and the sea, the reef and the beach, one step at a time.Compared with the bleakness of the three seasons of the year in the cold city in the north, this place is full of vitality.

Xun Cheng brought the servants of the Xun Mansion to pick them up.

"Xiao Liu, long time no see." Xun Cheng walked up to Qin Wan with a smile and said hello.

Qin Wan waved to Xun Cheng: "Long time no see, Master Xun Cheng."

Xun Che took a step to block between the two of them, and sneered at his own brother, "Xun Cheng, please keep a distance of five steps, not ten steps, when you see her in the future."

Xun Cheng raised his eyebrows disdainfully: "As long as Xiao Liu hasn't married you, I have a chance." He turned his head around Xun Che to look at Qin Wan, "Am I right, Xiao Liu?"

Qin Wan smiled generously: "Master Xun Cheng, you are still so good at joking."

Hearing what Qin Wan said, Xun Cheng sighed exaggeratedly: "That's all, who calls me the elder brother? I have let him in since I was a child."

Xun Che rolled his eyes, showing disdain, but quietly held Qin Wan's wrist with his left hand.

"Let's go, get in the carriage. Parents know that you brought Xiao Liu back, and they are waiting at home now." Xun Cheng led Xun Che and Qin Wan to the Xun Mansion's carriage waiting by the pier and said, "Xun Cheng Che, let me tell you in advance that our parents are very upset to know that you brought Xiao Liu back. Although I am not worried about Xiao Liu's talent and temperament, you also know that your parents are important to your marriage. It has always been a tradition in the past, when you go back, you will be scolded at least, and the family will serve you at worst. You can think about how to persuade your parents when you go back."

Xun Cheng's words were not only for Xun Che, but also for Qin Wan.

Xun Che's eyes darkened: "I know, I will convince them."

Xun Cheng asked: "Our parents are very stubborn, have you thought about what to do if you can't convince them?"

Qin Wan said casually from the side, "It doesn't matter. Marriage is just a formality, and a wife is just a title. It just so happens that I don't care much about form and title, so if Lord Xun and his wife don't want Xun Che to marry me , I bought the house next to your house. You can't be a husband and wife, but at least you can be a neighbor."

When Xun Cheng heard what Qin Wan said, his eyes widened.Although he knew that Qin Wan was different from ordinary girls, the idea of ​​"becoming a neighbor" was absolutely deviant enough.

When Xun Che heard what Qin Wan said, his eyes became serious: "What are you talking about? How is this possible?"

Qin Wan smiled easily: "Why is that impossible? If I can't get into your house, I have to find a way. Then I'll build a ladder on top of the wall so that you can climb over in the middle of the night."

After Qin Wan finished speaking, Xun Cheng and Xun Che froze for half a second, then Xun Cheng held his stomach with a smile and was almost out of breath: "At first, I was worried that Xiao Liu would be bullied when he came to our house, but now I am a little worried about Dad. Damn, hahaha."

Xun Che frowned at Qin Wan, not knowing what to do with her.
