Chapter 328: Goddess Xia Shumin
Xia Fu.
"Aunt Wang, have you brought the window grille?"
"Well, I told the kitchen to make some paste."
"Where are the incense sticks I prepared last night?!"
"Be quick, and the angel will be at the house!"
Under the leadership of the two maids, Zhou Cuihong and Qu Qin walked in the huge summer mansion, and they were full of busy people, from young and beautiful maids, to aunts and mothers-in-law in their forties and fifties, to servants carrying tables and chairs, tea and meals.
The entire Xia Mansion was immersed in a festive atmosphere, and the lanterns were all ready to welcome the arrival of the Holy Decree.
Zhou Cuihong has participated in many business exhibitions, and Qu Qin has also been to fashion fairs and auctions, both of whom are people who have seen the world.
But at the moment.
So many ancients were busy working in the quaint mansions, preparing for the emperor's decree.
Seeing this scene, it still made the two of them look around as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.
The pavilions and water pavilions, pavilion steps, numerous wings, gardens, and corridors in the summer mansion dazzled them.
"Hey, Master Zhou."
The maid stopped Zhou Cuihong, who was walking forward unconsciously, and looked at him with a strange look: "You can't go inside." ”
"Ugh."
Zhou Cuihong was embarrassed for a moment, thinking that the arch might be an ancestral hall study or something.
Qu Qin asked curiously, "What is the place inside?" ”
The maid was surprised, "It's an inner house inside." ”
"Can't you just enter the inner house?"
"Inner House...... Men can't enter the inner house casually, only the lord and aunt can enter, you can enter, but Master Zhou can't enter, unless the lord is there. ”
"I see."
Qu Qin suddenly realized that this ancient world really couldn't easily enter the back house.
"I'll take you two to look elsewhere."
The maid led them elsewhere.
When passing by a side door, Zhou Cuihong heard a commotion outside the door, and from time to time he would hear the clanging sound of iron colliding, which startled the two of them.
"There's a war going on outside?!" Words such as bandits, officers and soldiers, and uprisings flashed in Qu Qin's mind for a while, this ancient time was not safe at all!
"Hey, where is the war." The maid covered her mouth and snickered, "The prince is in Yongkang County with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, who dares to make a mistake?" Outside, there is just a group of Jianghu people fooling around, don't worry, they don't dare to enter the Xia Mansion! ”
The two maids lifted their chins and looked quite proud.
Since the appearance of their uncle, their Xia Mansion has become a transcendent existence, not only does the court dare not provoke, but even the lawless Jianghu thieves dare not step into the Xia Mansion half a step again!
"Jianghu people?"
Zhou Cuihong's heart moved, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look!" ”
After finishing speaking, he walked out, but Qu Qin couldn't stop him.
Walking out of the side door, the two immediately saw a group of ancients in rough and bold clothes, carrying swords and swords, in the mountains and forests not far away, shouting around a clearing.
In the clearing, two men with swords confronted each other.
"Zhao Laogou, three years ago, my righteous brother was killed in Nanling, you did it, right?"
"Fuck you!"
"Hmph, if people don't know what to do unless they do, look at the sword!"
The sword light flashed rapidly with the figure, and Zhou Cuihong and the two who saw this scene were stunned again, and looked at the two people who were fighting with super-high-speed posture and amazing strength in the distance.
"This ...... Why didn't Xiao Chen tell us that this is the world of martial arts?! ”
Zhou Cuihong is stupid.
He was very sure that the Xia Kingdom did not have true qi internal strength or anything like that in ancient times, but he didn't expect that the history of this world was different from that of the Xia Kingdom, and other places were also different!
Here, there is a real martial arts rivers and lakes!
Qu Qin glanced at her husband, and when she saw his eyes shining, she said angrily: "You still want to practice martial arts at this age?" ”
"Think, why don't you want to!"
"Then go ahead."
"Hey, hey."
Zhou Cuihong stopped talking, he didn't dare to approach this group of Jianghu people with weapons.
"They're all here to congratulate?"
Qu Qin turned her head and asked the maid, and after receiving an affirmative answer, her heart chuckled again.
That Xia Shumin's family background is really extraordinary, and her status is respected, and in the future, Xiaowan and they will get along with her, I don't know if they can stand her princess shelf.
No, no, her two daughters are not bad! With the net worth given by her and her father, you can buy whatever you want in modern society! No worse than an ancient princess!
Besides, this Princess Xia Shumin went to modern times, lived in her daughter's house, and called her daughter Sister Wan.
It's clear who is big and who is small.
Qu Qin was relieved a lot, and a smile appeared on his face again.
This trip was not in vain.
The husband and wife walked around the inside and outside of the Xia Mansion, and only went back under the guidance of the maid when it was time for lunch.
When the two came to the front hall, they saw many people lining up to give congratulatory gifts.
"Lord Juncheng Song sent a copy of the four treasures such as rice paper and inkstone!"
"Wei Guogong sent the former Tang Jinshi antiques, jade jewelry ......"
"Sword Forge Pavilion will give you a sword."
"The Heavenly Sword will send six copies of the land deed......"
The singer did not say what the sword was, and the title deed was, but the person in charge of registering the gift list recorded it in great detail, and each gift was recorded in detail.
Qu Qin glanced at the people queuing up to give gifts, and lined up from the front hall all the way to a hundred meters outside the gate, among them were many royal relatives and court officials, as for those people in the rivers and lakes, she couldn't understand anything.
"This ......"
The husband and wife were shocked again.
When they went back to eat, the maid led them to a side room, and there were just the two of them, and no one else was there.
"What about Wan'er and Xiaowan? Xiao Chen is also gone. ”
Qu Qin asked the maid.
The maid didn't know, so she went out to inquire, and then came back and replied: "Mrs. Zhou, your two young ladies went to eat with our young lady, and they will participate in the ceremony together later, my uncle seems to have gone out to meet the people of the rivers and lakes, and the lord and lady are busy." ”
"Okay, I got it."
Qu Qin didn't ask any more, but she was inevitably a little curious, Xiaowan and the others went to be with Princess Xia Shumin?
When the two were eating, they heard that the Xia Mansion had been lively, and many guests were invited to sit in the Xia Mansion, but more Jianghu people could only stay outside the Xia Mansion and sit on the ground.
Fortunately, a shed was also set up outside, and the cooks were busy cooking, and the flowing water mat spread all the way from Xiafu to the foot of Momiji Mountain.
The pomp and circumstance is unprecedented.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, there was a commotion in front of the Xia Mansion.
Qu Qin and Zhou Cuihong ran out to look, and saw from a distance on the mountain road in the distance, a team of cavalry with a clear banner, accompanied by the sound of gold, escorted a luxury carriage pulled by four horses.
The carriage was followed by a large group of officials in court uniforms, accompanied by many palace laves, and the momentum was so great that it made people look sideways.
"That's a little weird."
Zhou Cuihong was more and more surprised.
Will the princess be so grand? Moreover, there are two princesses in a row, or mother and daughter, and I heard that the prince of Zhao Guo came in person.
These etiquettes are really very different from the ancient Xia Kingdom.
"Just look at it."
Qu Qin has given up the investigation, and Chen Ji and Wan'er are not there, so they can only watch now.
"Yongkang County Guard, welcome His Royal Highness the Prince! Welcome to God's will! ”
Xia Yongcheng, who was waiting in front of the gate, took several domestic servants and local officials of Yongkang County to kneel on the ground to greet the prince and the holy decree.
"Huh?"
Zhou Cuihong, who was not sensitive to ancient etiquette, sensed that something was wrong.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the front, and the Holy Decree is in the back.
He looked around, and the servants in the Xia Mansion had already knelt down, but the people in the rivers and lakes around him did not kneel at all, but just calmed down.
In addition, only Xia Yongcheng came out to greet the crown prince, and the eldest princess and Princess Shuning, who were about to be conferred, did not come out.
"Uncle, please get up!!"
Lu Huai, who was wearing a red gold woven dragon robe, jumped out of the carriage quickly, stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and helped Xia Yongcheng up with a smile on his face.
The Imperial Forest Army blocked the people in the surrounding rivers and lakes, and the officials stepped forward to greet each other.
This scene made Qu Qin and Zhou Cuihong excited.
The ancient prince actually looked like this!
If they hadn't come with Chen Ji, they would never have seen such etiquette in modern times, let alone the real prince.
After the greetings, the decree was not immediately read, and he had to enter the house.
"In-laws, how about we go in together?"
Xia Yongcheng's eyes fell on Zhou Cuihong and the others in the crowd, and he invited with a smile.
In an instant, countless eyes looked at them, making the two of them feel a huge pressure in the modern shopping mall.
The crown prince, court officials, relatives of the emperor, Jianghu people who know martial arts, and the Imperial Forest Army are all existences they can't provoke!
"Okay, okay."
Zhou Cuihong regained his composure, pulled his wife, and walked into the gate with Xia Yongcheng and others.
Qu Qin's back was sweating, how many years had she not been so nervous?
However, after entering the Xia Mansion again, in the front hall, she finally saw her daughter.
Inside the vestibule.
Qu Qin saw a dignified noblewoman, dressed in full costume, sitting on the main seat.
Sitting next to her was a princess dress, wearing a phoenix crown of nine chariots and four phoenixes, with large and small hairpins, which looked extraordinarily luxurious, and set off her little face looked extremely noble.
Qu Qin was only taken aback when he saw it.
Fortunately, she saw her two daughters sitting next to Princess Shuning.
They also changed into phoenix crowns, decorated far beyond the clothes Qu Qin bought for them a few days ago, and their luxurious and beautiful appearances made the two Zhou Wan look no worse than Princess Shuning.
The crown prince held the golden silk decree in his hand, and stepped into the front hall in all directions, and exclaimed: "Princess Anping receives the decree!" ”
Lu Rui, who was on the throne, stood up, came to the holy decree and knelt down respectfully, and replied: "Unfilial daughter Anping, kneel to welcome the imperial brother's holy decree." ”
Behind her, and around the crown prince, everyone fell to their knees.
Zhou Cuihong and Qu Qin didn't kneel or stand, but fortunately, no one paid attention to them, and the two hurriedly retreated to the corner of the wall.
However, they are not the only ones standing.
Including their daughter Zhou Wan, a total of three people are still standing.
That's right, Princess Shuning Xia Shumin also stood beside her mother, it seemed that she wanted to kneel just now, but she was slapped back by her mother, so she had to stand.
The crown prince Lu Huai glanced at the two Zhou Wan, unfolded the holy decree and read: "The king is the nine clans...... The royal sister Roujia is of high quality, graceful and graceful, and Princess Anping is the eldest princess of Emperor Zhao, and she is given a golden book, and she is humble to hold the profit. ”
In the silence of everyone, after reciting the holy decree, the crown prince Lu Huai handed over the holy decree to his aunt.
Then he took out another holy decree, and Lu Huai, who was smiling, looked at Xia Shumin and read it again:
"Shumin, the daughter of Princess Anping, Shushen Huiya, Xianzi and Xianzi, met in Yongkang County with the immortal Chen Ji and married together...... When I heard this, I was overjoyed, and I specially named Shumin, the daughter of Princess Anping, as Princess Shuning, and gave the princess's mansion and the golden book......"
A series of rewards, listening to the surrounding people secretly stunned.
But no one dared to object.
Princess Shuning Xia Shumin not only named the princess with a different surname, but also stood to greet the holy decree, where did they not know the reason?
"Shuning thanked the emperor for his grace."
After accepting the reward, Xia Shumin can also call herself a princess in the future.
Slightly shy and nervous, she took the decree from the prince's cousin.
After this period of etiquette was completed, Lu Huai hurriedly helped his aunt up.
Lu Rui didn't talk to him much, but glanced at the sky, as if he was waiting for someone.
"Waiting for whom?"
Zhou Cuihong and Qu Qin's questions were quickly answered.
The sky was stormy.
Dark clouds and glow appeared from the sky together, accompanied by the thunder and phoenix groaning, a dragon and a phoenix appeared from the sky, the vigorous dragon posture, the fiery red figure of the colorful phoenix, and the phoenix chant that penetrated the heaven and earth, made Zhou Cuihong and Qu Qin's eyes widen.
It's not just them.
Many officials from the imperial court were also shocked at this moment, if they hadn't known the inside story for a long time, they would have been in chaos.
Countless people gazed at the sky.
In the sound of the dragon and the phoenix, a handsome and extraordinary man slowly descended from the top of the real dragon's head, two black and white beads suspended beside him, and a book in his hand.
"Chen Ji of the Earth Immortal Realm, with the treasure beads of the two worlds of yin and yang, came to Xia Mansion to ask for marriage, and is willing to marry Xia Shumin as his wife!!"
Chen Ji's words stunned the people present.
Zhou Cuihong and Qu Qin were shocked, their son-in-law Chen Ji was unexpectedly, actually ......!
Big Zhou Wan and Little Zhou Wan glanced at each other, and looked at Xia Shumin in front of them together.
The new princess Shuning was already flushed with shame at the moment, and Lingxiu's little face was flushed, and when Chen Ji walked in front of her with the marriage certificate, she was speechless.
Prince Lu Huai looked at it enviously on the side, not daring to have any other strange expressions.
Xia Yongcheng and his wife smiled.
"Your Highness the Princess."
Chen Ji smiled and handed back the marriage letter she wrote herself: "Would you like to agree to the marriage proposal below?" ”
Xia Shumin's face turned red.
How can there be such a marriage certificate!!
It should be handed over to her father and mother, and after agreeing, the two can meet.
But as a result, the son brought the Yin and Yang Realm Beads as a dowry gift, and asked for marriage like this......
Yes!
It must be the mother's suggestion, before the mother called the son, it turned out to be an agreement with him to ask for marriage in the near future!
"Do you mean...... Do you want me to see Her Royal Highness? ”
Seeing that she didn't answer, Chen Ji laughed again.
Xia Shumin blushed and whispered, "Princess Ben...... How dare Shu Min let the immortals see it, this marriage book ...... Shumin took it, and please, please don't let Childe take Shumin, Childe will not give up, and Shumin will share a white head with Childe in this life! ”
"Shumin!!"
Chen Ji was moved to hug her into his arms, he didn't care about any etiquette ceremony, and now he just wanted to hug her petite body tightly.
Xia Shumin also forgot about the two sisters behind him, and his heart was all tied to Chen Ji, holding him, and holding the marriage book tightly in his hand.
The marriage letter was written by her, but after it was sent to her through Chen Ji's hands, the meaning was already different.
The crown prince Lu Huai was the first to react, and congratulated Lu Rui and Xia Yongcheng: "My aunt and uncle gave birth to a goddess and married an immortal, which is really a blessing for my Great Zhao Kingdom!" ”
After being proposed by the immortals, Xia Shumin can be called a goddess, representing her extraordinary life experience, and her status surpasses the royal power and worldliness.
This is also the reason why Lu Rui didn't let her kneel to the holy decree before.
"Immortals? Chen Gongzi!? ”
Many people finally reacted, it turned out that Chen Gongzi was not a disciple of the land immortals, but the immortals themselves!
