There was a lot of turmoil in the capital, but the Hou's mansion began to be lively. Ninth Miss Qin Wan's marriage was still two days away. No matter how anxious Hu was, she had to arrange for this marriage. What surprised Qin Wan was , Qin Shu and Hu's family finally changed from their past depression and lifted their spirits. Although it's only been a few days, they seem to have thought about it. The invitation for the wedding banquet has been sent out a long time ago, and Hu's family started to arrange the wedding banquet and decorate the wedding hall. Qin Shu took Qin Yan and his brothers to write the happy couplet by hand. Qin Wan felt relieved when he was disturbed by such excitement, but the matter of Yanze was always on Qin Wan's mind.
On this day, Meng Yao and Yue Ning came to visit one after another, and they both brought a lot of gifts, all for the purpose of adding makeup to Qin Wan.
Qin Wan was naturally happy to see the two of them. Meng Yao smiled and said, "You two are married. My father is also planning for me these days. I'm afraid I will get married next year."
Meng Yao's age is one year older than Qin Wan's, but the case of the Meng Mansion earlier caused people in the capital to criticize the Meng Mansion, and Meng Yao's marriage was also delayed.
Yue Ning hurriedly asked, "Did you see a suitable family?"
Meng Yao laughed, "My father... always finds unreliable candidates..."
Seeing Qin Wan and Yue Ning looking at her curiously, she smiled and said, "Qin Wan knows best that he is the grandson of Duke Wei's mansion. You all know him." , My father actually wanted to say goodbye to him... He was so frightened that he hid from the capital these days."
Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat, "You mean Wei Qizhi?"
After asking this question, the smile on Yue Ning's face faltered slightly, "The eldest son of the Wei family?"
Meng Yao nodded, "He used to be my father's student, and he also helped with our family's affairs before. My father thought he was very benevolent, so he came up with this idea. Who knew that he didn't have any thoughts at all. My father just proposed it tentatively. With one sip, it scared people away."
Meng Yao didn't feel embarrassed at all, and Qin Wan took a second look at Yue Ning after hearing the words.
Yue Ning said helplessly, "He...you are the first-class in the capital, how can he not be satisfied?"
Meng Yao has a gentle temperament and is talented. She is indeed a model of a noble girl in the capital. Although the Meng Mansion had a murder case before, it can be counted up. Miss, but Wei's father is a merchant's family, Meng Yao and Wei Qizhi are still compatible.
Meng Yao smiled and said, "That's not the reason. I met him before, but we are not familiar with each other. A person like him is Renyi as a friend, but... But I think he is very noisy and laughing. Cough cough, two people live together, it's still good." You have to like each other a little bit..."
In this way, Qin Wan also laughed, Wei Qizhi and Meng Yao didn't like each other.
Meng Yao looked at Yue Ning and Qin Wan and joked, "You two are lucky people. I don't know if there is such a fate to meet someone who is like you."
Qin Wan held Meng Yao's hand and said, "There will always be, not to mention your temperament, whoever you marry in the future will put you on top of their hearts."
Meng Yao's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she talked to Qin Wan about her younger brother's illness. The three of them talked all morning, and when Yue Ning and Meng Yao were about to leave, Qin Wan also planned to leave the mansion to find Yan Chi, but just as she was about to stop, Hou The concierge of the mansion came to announce that there was a visitor to Qin Wan.
Qin Wan was slightly surprised, but when he got to the front yard, he saw Zhang Dongxuan in a gray Taoist robe!
Qin Wan couldn't help being overjoyed, "The Taoist priest?! Why is the Taoist priest back?!"
It was midsummer when the two met, but now it has snowed several times in the capital. Zhang Dongxuan turned around, and the depression of being imprisoned for six years in the past was swept away. Although he is still thin and wrinkled now, But it is a sudden breath of immortality.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, the Princess is safe and sound!"
Qin Wan smiled and stepped forward. Although she didn't know Zhang Dongxuan very well, she always felt kind to this Taoist priest who had experienced a mysterious experience. , I don’t know where I went for the past six months?”
Zhang Dongxuan smacked his lips while drinking tea, "I went to see the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, climbed the Five Sacred Mountains, and went to Weizhou Island in the East China Sea. It's not considered to have traveled all over the mountains and rivers, but I learned a lot. I wanted to go to the south to see the Kunshan moment, but half a month ago Xiaodao made a divination for the princess, and the divination was not very good, so Xiaodao rushed back."
Hearing this, the smile on Qin Wan's face faded slightly, "Can the Taoist make it clear?"
Now that he had come to this point, the smile on Zhang Dongxuan's face also disappeared. He turned his head and looked around, and his voice was three minutes lower, "The princess is in danger of life."
Qin Wan frowned, and Zhang Dongxuan's expression became more serious, "Not only is the princess' life in danger, but the capital is also turbulent and will undergo major changes. I don't know about the small road outside. I entered the capital today, and I just found out that there is a big change in the city. The imperial army is all over the place, and the patrol battalion is even more serious. I think something has happened in the capital, and this matter has nothing to do with the princess for the time being, but... the princess may not be able to stay out of this turmoil."
Qin Wan's heart sank more and more, Zhang Dongxuan sighed and said, "The princess must still remember the case of Zhu Xie Daochang, the murderer caught at that time was poisonous, we all thought the murderer was trying to make a name for himself It was just now that he did such a heinous thing, but after the path left, he gradually realized that the purpose of this person was not for himself, but to be employed by others. Every day is possible, and the scene in the city now confirms Xiaodao's guess, I wonder if that's true?"
Qin Wan stared and nodded, "What the Taoist priest said is true. There have indeed been great changes in the capital recently."
Zhang Dongxuan narrowed his eyes, "This is just the beginning. I have been watching the stars at night while traveling on the trail for the past few days, and I saw the broken army in the west and the greedy wolves in the north, but the Emperor Ziwei star is crumbling, which seems to be a sign of instability. From a small point of view... not only the capital is going to be in chaos, but the whole Zhou Dynasty is going to be in chaos..."
Qin Wan's face paled when he heard that, the broken army in the west and the corrupt wolves in the north are the two chaotic lands in Da Zhou.
Qin Wan pondered for a moment, "The Taoist priest...is there a way to crack it?"
Zhang Dongxuan smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "No one can break this chaos, Xiaodao rushed back just to help the princess, even if the building is about to fall, but the princess has saved Xiaodao's life, no matter what, Xiaodao will Helping the princess to protect himself, the power of the small way, that's all there is to it."
Qin Wan's heart was moved when he heard the words, but he also felt a greater sense of powerlessness, "Does the Taoist priest know that I will get married in the future?"
Zhang Dongxuan nodded, "Of course Xiaodao knows that Xiaodao came back this time to help the princess and also to help His Royal Highness Prince Rui. Japan will be an auspicious day in the future, but if things change today, I'm afraid there will be changes in the future. I don't know His Highness Prince Rui. Are you prepared?"
Qin Wan said, "He was on guard, but now that the situation is taking a turn for the worse, I'm afraid there are still mistakes. I haven't had a chance to see him in the past two days. If the Taoist priest doesn't come, I probably have already left the house to see him... It's just that he's busy with official duties recently , I may not be able to see him when I go, the Imperial Forest Army in Beijing is currently under his command, but this is also temporary."
Zhang Dongxuan stared at the princess for a moment and said, "If the Princess is inconvenient, Xiaodao can do it for you. Xiaodao came to see the princess today, and it is inconvenient to stay in the Hou Mansion. Xiaodao also planned to join His Highness Prince Rui's family, but I don't know the princess. Can you recommend one or two for Xiaodao?"
Qin Wan couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Zhang Dongxuan is a capable person. With such a person by Yan Chi's side, Yan Chi will be even more powerful. Now, at this juncture, the more they help, the better. Qin Wan nodded immediately, " It couldn't be better. The last time I went to the palace, he didn't return until late at night. I'm afraid it will be the same in the past two days. I will write a letter immediately, and the Taoist leader will take him to find him. I have another thing to tell in the letter. With him, the Taoist priest must also bring it."
Zhang Dongxuan smiled, "The princess actually believes in Xiaodao—"
"I don't know why, but I always feel that I have a destiny with the Taoist priest." Qin Wan smiled and stood up, went to the side hall to find a pen and ink, and wrote a letter in half a stick of incense. Qin Wan put it in an envelope and handed it to Zhang Dongxuan, "Please be sure to hand it to him personally, Taoist priest."
Zhang Dongxuan took the letter and put it in his arms, "Princess please don't worry, Xiao Dao will go to find His Highness Prince Rui, and I will definitely help His Highness prepare. With His Highness Prince Rui here, the Princess can rest assured, and the Princess can rest assured these two days You can wait until you get married, no matter what, a big wedding is the most important thing for the princess and His Highness, Xiaodao first congratulates the princess."
Having said so much, Zhang Dongxuan didn't intend to stay any longer, and asked Qin Wan a few words before leaving.
As soon as Zhang Dongxuan left, although Qin Wan didn't see Yan Chi in person, he felt at ease.
