Chapter 328 Sheriff's Daughter

   "Put the presents here first, I'll count them up, all right, you guys go down."

  Quqin directed the servants to put the gifts they bought these days in the living room on the third floor. After the servants left, she turned to look at the eldest daughter on the sofa:

   "Wan'er, will the etiquette change when we go to ancient times?"

  Da Zhouwan blinked, "Mom, I haven't been there either...Ask Xiaowan."

   "Xiao Wan! Xiao Wan!"

"what?"

  Xiao Zhouwan's voice came from the room not far away.

  In the past, her parents could call her Waner or Xiaowan, but after Zhou Wan came, Xiaowan became her fixed name, just like Chen Ji called them.

   "Come here, Mommy asked you something... By the way, where is Chen Ji?"

"mom!"

With messy long hair, Xiao Zhou Wan, who obviously just woke up from sleep, leaned against the doorway, her pretty figure was hidden in a loose nightgown, with a little smile in her eyes: "Don't worry, Shu Min's family will not let you down! It's the Sheriff's Mansion, but her parents are very nice, so don't worry about being a guest."

   "Good etiquette does not mean that we can do whatever we want. After all, we are also county guards. In modern times, we are the head of a province, a great official in frontiers!"

   "My wife is right!"

When the mother and daughter were chatting, an old man with short hair in a long-sleeved Hanfu walked up the third floor slowly, smiled reservedly, and said, "The ancient sheriff was the governor of a state. A position that can make a lot of foundation, Li Yuan in the Tang Dynasty was equivalent to the position of county guard when he raised his troops."

   Several people looked at him with weird expressions on their faces.

  The old man in Hanfu couldn’t bear it any longer, and scolded, “Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and change your clothes! How can you wear modern clothes in ancient times?”

  The three of them laughed out loud.

  After putting on Hanfu, Zhou Cuihong's tone became more polite.

But Xiao Zhou Wan could tell that her father was more excited than anyone else about going back to the ancient times, and he basically didn't go to work these days, so he went shopping with Quqin, bought gifts, bought clothes, and spent a lot of money. Spend less time studying ancient etiquette and make no mistakes as much as possible.

   She hasn't seen her parents so happy for a long time.

   No matter how much money you spend, you can’t buy the matter of traveling across the world and experiencing ancient customs.

  …

   Half an hour later.

   "Uncle, your outfit...!"

  Chen Ji drove to Zhou Wan's home, and when he went up to the third floor, he saw Zhou Cuihong, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, but wearing Hanfu.

   "Xiao Chen is here? Look at me like this..."

  While speaking, the door of the room not far away opened, and two graceful beauties with icy muscles and fine bones walked out of it.

Their looks are exactly the same, they are all slim and graceful, the corners of their skirts are lightly raised when they walk, their heads are crescent, and their expressions are a bit shy. As soon as they look at them, Chen Ji feels that his bones are three catties crisp, and he is firmly attracted by their beauty .

   "This is my daughter?!"

   Zhou Cuihong was also shocked.

  After changing into the ancient Ruqun and wearing hairpins, Zhou Wan has a cool and classical beauty all over her body.

   What's worse, there are two of them!

  Chen Ji's eyes followed their walk, until Xiao Zhou Wan stood in front of him, bent slightly, with a deep smile on her brows and eyes: "You're back to your senses!"

  Chen Ji just woke up.

   It was the first time he saw Zhou Wan wearing Hanfu, she was really outrageously beautiful, like seeing Xia Shumin wearing a modern T-shirt and jeans!

"gorgeous."

  Chen Ji lowered his voice and said to the two of them.

  Big and small Zhou Wan frowned together.

  Just now they were in the same room, dressing up each other, and they put on this complicated skirt according to the video.

  Seeing that Chen Ji is attracted by them at this moment, I can't help but feel a little proud.

   "Come on, sit down!"

  Chen Ji asked them to sit next to each other, and almost couldn't help but want to hug their waists and kiss them like the last time in the garden.

   Fortunately, Da Zhou Wan pinched the back of his hand in time before Chen Ji could react.

   Not long after, Quqin also came out of the room, also changing into an ancient long skirt and hairpin, just like a noble lady of the Tang Dynasty.

   "Almost forgot, I haven't changed my wig yet!"

   Seeing his wife's hairstyle, Zhou Cuihong touched his short hair, stood up and walked downstairs quickly, halfway there, he suddenly turned to look at Chen Ji:

   "Xiao Chen, where are your clothes?"

  Among the few people present, only Chen Ji was still wearing modern clothes—the styles selected by Zhou Wan. Now they took over almost all of Chen Ji's daily necessities, and bought them back when shopping.

   "He doesn't use it."

  Xiao Zhou Wan pursed her lips and smiled.

  With Chen Ji's identity, whatever clothes he wears is very reasonable, and no one will criticize him.

  Zhou Cuihong and Quqin looked at each other, but said nothing.

   Preparations will be done quickly.

   Zhou Cuihong wore a wig, and his temperament was very similar to that of the ancients. Coupled with the quqin beside him, the husband and wife were very similar to ancient officials with titles and Mrs. Haoming.

  The gift was also prepared, and it was put aside.

  Chen Ji also contacted Xia Shumin through his mobile phone.

   "Are you ready?"

  Chen Ji asked again.

   Zhou Cuihong and his wife checked their clothes nervously.

  Quqin also specifically asked the eldest daughter.

   "Don't worry, uncle and aunt."

  Chen Ji smiled and said, "We're just going to attend the ceremony, and take a trip along the way, everything will be fine...Okay, then let's get ready and go!"

"etc!"

  Little Zhou Wan suddenly stopped him, "What ceremony?"

   "Haha, you'll know when you go!"

  Following Chen Ji's loud laughter, Zhou Cuihong and Qu Qin only felt that the surroundings had turned into white light. After an unknown amount of time, the white light slowly disappeared, and what appeared in front of them was an antique courtyard.

  A slender, delicate-looking official lady is sitting under the gazebo drinking tea, two maids are sitting on stone chairs, and several other maids in palace skirts are standing not far away.

  After seeing them, the maidservants in the distance showed surprised expressions, while the two maidservants approaching shouted in surprise: "Miss, my uncle is here!"

"ah?"

  The delicate and graceful lady from the official family turned her head to see Chen Ji, stood up hastily, and came to him like a lark, her cheeks were slightly red and she shouted: "My lord..."

  Chen Ji smiled, stretched out his hand and stroked her face: "Have you been waiting long?"

  Xia Shumin shook her head shyly, then looked at the two Zhou Wan, and sweetly called Sister Wan and Sister Xiaowan.

  It was only later that I noticed Zhou Cuihong and his wife, and bowed to them, lowered their heads slightly, and did not take the initiative to introduce themselves.

  It wasn't until Xiao Zhouwan realized and introduced her parents to her that Xia Shumin saluted again and said hello in a warm voice: "My daughter has met her uncle and aunt, and she is grateful for sister Xiaowan's care in the fairy world."

   Quqin was stunned.

  The ancient etiquette is really very different from the modern one.

   Moreover, the temperament of the daughter of the Princess Xia is really extraordinary, completely different from modern girls, and there are several maidservants with low eyebrows behind her, which makes her look even more dignified.

   Such a rich lady deserves to marry Chen Ji together with her daughter!

   Zhou Cuihong on the side was shocked at the moment.

   It's not that he doubts his daughter's statement, but that traveling through the world is too bizarre, or traveling to ancient times.

   But now, he really saw and felt the ancient times!

"What happened?"

  The two servants standing outside the yard seemed to have heard the movement, so they walked in to take a look.

  Cuizhu found them in time, and shouted: "Young Master is here, you go and tell Mrs. Master!"

"yes."

  The eyes of the two servants fell on Chen Ji, their wary eyes turned into respect, they quickly cupped their hands, took three steps back, turned and left.

  Chen Ji could tell that there were male servants in the courtyard. This should be the outer courtyard. They were servants who patrolled and protected the Xia Mansion.

  Quqin saw all this and was even more surprised.

   "Uncle and aunt."

  Xia Shumin looked at the two of them, "You two, please sit here for a while, the little girl will have some tea served, and my father will be here in a while."

   "Uh, no rush, you guys do your work first."

  Zhou Cuihong is still in shock. Everything here is new to him. The new Chinese-style real estate built by his company is much worse than the mansion in front of him. The decoration has no ancient charm at all!

   Several people came to the side of the room and sat down, and the furnishings in the room made Quqin and the others very curious.

   Soon, Xia Yongcheng came and greeted Zhou Cuihong, both of them knew that they would be regarded as half-in-laws in the future—because their daughters were married to Chen Ji’s half-in-laws.

  Lu Rui didn't see anyone.

   After a while, an old woman with a serious face and gray hair walked outside the door, followed by four court ladies, her eyes swept into the room, making everyone feel chills down their backs.

   "Grandma Zhao!"

   Xia Shumin, who was drinking tea and chatting with Sister Wan, stood up quickly after seeing her, with an expression like a little girl who made a mistake, nervous.

"Princess."

  The old woman with a somewhat gloomy expression fell to the ground the next moment, kowtowed and called the princess, and said respectfully: "The time is running out, if you don't prepare for it, you will miss the grand ceremony. Princess, please follow the old woman to take a bath and change clothes."

   Zhou Cuihong and Qu Qin were very surprised.

"Princess?!"

  Little Zhou Wan was surprised at first, then turned to look at Chen Ji, and stared at him!

  Da Zhou Wan looked thoughtfully, and also looked at Chen Ji: "Shu Min is a princess?"

  Xia Shumin's face turned red.

  Chen Ji laughed out loud, he has worked so hard to hide it, for the current effect!

   "Laughing shamelessly in front of the princess, no rules!"

   Granny Zhao suddenly raised her head and scolded him.

  Chen Ji was speechless for a while.

   "Bold!"

   Cuizhu stood up, raised her eyebrows, and scolded her: "My uncle is a fairy, and I have a deep love with the princess and his wife, so it's not the palace's turn to dictate!"

   It's not you, it's people from the palace.

   Not only scolding them, but also scolding the people in the palace in a subtle way!

   "You, are you a disciple of a land god?"

   Granny Zhao's wrinkled old face suddenly turned red, and the few court ladies kneeling behind her were too frightened to speak.

  If it were other princesses, how dare you be rude to them before they get married?

  They were sent by the empress to teach the son-in-law's family and let them understand the royal rules. Even the princess had to give them three points.

   Available now.

  A maid can point at them and scold them!

   What's annoying is that they can't even talk back.

  Because, Princess Shuning's son-in-law is the only immortal disciple in the world!

  Chen Ji glanced at the few palace people who were kneeling on the ground and began to kowtow with a half-smile, and then looked at the little lady.

  It seems that the little lady was angry after learning how to be a princess recently. After he came and had someone to back her up, Cui Zhu stood up for her young lady and felt proud.

"okay."

  Chen Ji stopped them, and said to the little lady: "Shu Min, uncle, go and do your work, we can visit casually, and call us when the time for the grand ceremony comes."

  Xia Yongcheng nodded, stood up and said goodbye, and left with his daughter.

  However, Xia Shumin left Cuizhu behind and walked around with Chen Ji.

   "Uncle~"

  After there were no outsiders, Cuizhu happily wanted to talk about what happened just now, but she closed her mouth again after noticing Zhou Cuihong and the others.

  Little Zhou Wan twisted the back of Chen Ji's hand.

"what?"

   "Huh! Shumin was named a princess, and it's still today, why didn't you tell us earlier?"

  Little Zhou Wan stared at him, "No wonder I saw the lights and festoons inside and outside the house, and thought it was Shu Min who married you today."

  Da Zhou Wan giggled aside.

   "Isn't this more surprising?" Chen Ji laughed.

   "Surprise for your size... Shumin has become a princess, is it you who surprised me?"

  Chen Ji heard a bit of jealousy from her mouth, and said quickly: "I like it whether it is a princess or not, just like you have experienced or not experienced the end."

   "What kind of inexplicable metaphor is this?"

"ah?"

   The two Zhou Wans had different reactions, and finally both laughed.

   Cuizhu glanced at Quqin and his wife, and said: "If you need anything, just tell your slaves, please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

   "Where is where."

   Zhou Cuihong waved his hand, this kind of hospitality is outrageous enough.

  When he went to other people's house as a guest, he never had seven or eight maidservants to serve him together. It seemed that the labor was free of money!

  Quqin glanced at Chen Ji.

  As the future son-in-law, Chen Ji had a tacit understanding and said, "Uncle and aunt, shall we go to visit the next ceremony?"

  Quqin laughed, "Let's go visit, Xiao Chen, you are busy with your work."

  Chen Ji nodded, and Cuizhu shouted outside: "Jingqin Xuemei, come in and take the two elders around. If anyone asks, you can say that the uncle brought you."

"yes!"

  Two servant girls took orders.

   Quqin was deeply shocked once again, this ancient maid was really... on call, how can modern servants be like this?

   After the two left, Chen Ji sat with Zhou Wan and the others for a while.

Cuizhu was finally able to let go and said: "My lord, did you see it just now? Heh heh, the people from the palace don't pay attention to our lady at all, they look humble, but in fact they use the name of the palace to suppress us. Looking at us, today can be regarded as a slap in the face, otherwise when the Princess Mansion is completed, they might be more arrogant!"

  The way she beamed when she spoke made the two Zhou Wan look at her a few more times.

  When she and Xia Shumin lived in Daping, they always looked obedient and quiet, following behind their young lady.

  But back to Zhao Guo, this maid showed her other side.

   "There are many rules in the palace."

  Chen Ji smiled, "But don't bully others, just let Shu Min not be wronged."

   "How dare we~, if the uncle doesn't scold us, the lady will beat us to death."

   Cuizhu acted coquettishly a little.

  After she finished speaking, she realized that Zhou Wan and Zhou Wan were still in the room. She immediately smiled ashamedly, and said in a low voice, "Miss Wan'er, Miss Xiaowan, talk to my uncle... I, I'll get the teapot."

"No."

  Xiao Zhouwan called her to stop, "Take us around, I've been here a few times, but I've never been out of Xia Mansion."

   Cui Zhu nodded, and led Chen Ji and the three of them to wander around the Xia Mansion.

  Today is the grand ceremony for the imperial court to confer the titles of the two princesses. The mansion has long been preparing for this. At this moment, festive decorations are hung everywhere. Every servant puts on new clothes and walks with their heads held high.

  The first time they knew that their wife was the imperial princess, they were also very shocked. It wasn't until the palace eunuchs and court officials came to Yongkang County with imperial edicts that the city became a sensation overnight.

  Princess Huang Zhao Dachang, Princess Huang Zhao Shuning, the titles of these two princesses quickly spread, and everyone in the market praised them.

  At this moment, Mr. Chen Ji, the only disciple of the land god, also appeared in Xiafu.

   And, a news spread quickly:

  During the imperial court award ceremony for the princess, Mr. Chen Ji will propose marriage to Princess Shuning at the same time.
