Chapter 228: Big Brother!

Chapter 228

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Madam Su had already brought Madam Cheng into the main hall to sit down and were talking about the dowry while bargaining.

Qin Zhun: “....”

Well, in any case, they should settle down the other party.

Though he may think like this, but Qin Zhun was confused and nervous, pacing back and forth in the same place, and after an unknown amount of time an old gatekeeper excitedly rushes over and said.

“Marquis, madam, another eunuch from the palace is here.”

Qin Zhun’s heart jumped, and quickly let the chief steward usher the eunuch in.

The one who came was a young servant in a black robe, who cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said his congratulations.

“Congratulations, Marquis. The emperor instructed this servant to give an order and congratulate the fourth young miss, Qin Sheng on her marriage to Scholar Cheng from the Pinghua County and ask to choose a day for their union.”

Madam Su, who was coming out of the main hall, just heard the words and fell to one side.

“Madam!”

A group of servants cried out in panic and everything was a mess.

So, when Qin Jiu went into the palace to thank the empress early the next morning, she took this farce as an interesting story and told Empress Wei.

“Fortunately, the maids next to her reacted quickly and held the second aunt in time, so she didn’t fall down and hit her head.”

“Fourth younger sister made a scene again, saying that she would not marry and that doesn’t care whoever forced her to marry, she will die instead!”

“She also had the Cheng mother and son thrown out ......”

Qin Jiu happily narrated what happened as Empress Wei also listened joyfully.

Qin Zhun thinks he was a smart man, but he was in fact too stupid. How could he even compare to his younger sister’s husband.

“Xiao Jiu, Duan Wang Ye, and Duan Wang Fei have entered the capital. After they have signed the marriage certificate, you should go to the Duan Wangfu to pay your respect.”

The signing of the marriage certificate means that the marriage was completely settled, meaning Qin Jiu was already a member of Duan Wangfu, so it’s also a courtesy to greet and pay respect to Duan Wang Ye and Duan Wang Fei.

Empress Wei told Qin Jiu about this because she had no father or mother. She was afraid that no one in the Qin family would remind her.

Qin Jiu responded obediently.

Empress Wei took Qin Jiu by the hand and continued to say to her.

“Duan Wang Fei, whose surname is Xiao, is the eldest daughter of the Xiao family in the south of the Yangtze River. The Xiao family has been a family of officials for generations and has been glorious for a hundred years.”

“Duan Wang Fei is very good-natured. She believes in Buddhism, often copies Buddhist scriptures, and likes all kinds of flowers and plants, tea ceremonies...”

“Oh, also, Duan Wang Fei has liked bright colors since she was young and doesn’t like plain colors saying she is not someone who’s plain.”

The corners of Qin Jiu’s lips curled up, listening attentively and nodding down from time to time.

Empress Wei talked for about a quarter of an hour before she picked up the teacup and took two sips. Feeling she had said enough, she smiled again and ask Qin Jiu to have more snacks.

“Xiao Jiu, the imperial kitchen has developed a new snack recently. Come and have a try.”

Qin Jiu kept in mind what Empress Wei had just said. She picked up a fried golden snack and asked.

“Maternal Aunt, have you heard from cousin?”

As soon as she talked about her young son Gu Zhen, Empress Wei was even happier. Her eyes narrowed with laughter.

“Yesterday, I received a letter from him.”

Empress Wei asks You Bai to take the letter and share it with Qin Jiu.

“Xiao Jiu, you see, his letter says that he should arrive in the capital the day after tomorrow.”

“Zhen’er, I’m happy seeing him happy, he said that Zezhi took him to play ice games. They followed the fishermen to make holes in the ice and catch some fish. They said that the fish was very delicious...”
