Chapter 256 The Chu Family Has a Poisonous Girl 19
Xun Ning smiled widely upon hearing this. He got on the back of the chestnut horse in a very familiar manner and said, "Chu Yuan, get on quickly. We should set off early, otherwise we won't be able to reach the next town before dark."
Chu Yuan looked at him with a question mark on his face, as if asking: Don’t you have your own horse?
Xun Ning certainly understood what she meant: "I've already said that I'm penniless, so of course I want to ride on the same horse with you!"
After that, he stretched out his hand and pulled Chu Yuan onto the horse's back: "Go, Xiaohong, you will have to work hard from now on, but don't worry, I will definitely prepare the best fodder for you in the future so that you can eat enough."
"My horse's name is not Little Red!"
"Then what did you call it?"
Chu Yuan rolled her eyes. She didn’t even know how to come up with a name, otherwise her system wouldn’t be called Xiaodao.
But she was a person who didn't give in to others' comments: "Call me Dahong!"
"Well, it's fine if it's big red. They're all the same."
Dahong: Have you ever considered my feelings?
But soon Dahong lost all his emotions, because Chu Yuan gave it two bowls of sweet water for the first time today! After drinking it, its fur became much smoother, and it was beautiful all day long.
Chu Yuan just felt that her horse was working too hard. Not only did it have to carry her and Xun Ning, but it also had to carry such a large amount of luggage. She would feel bad if she didn't give it more spiritual spring water.
Xun Ning kept his promise and after arriving at the inn, he asked the waiter to prepare the best fodder for Dahong. However, the money would of course be charged to Chu Yuan.
He really wasn't lying. He was in such a hurry to leave that he didn't even have an extra set of clothes to change into, let alone gold and silver. He could only rely on Chu Yuan's care along the way.
Chu Yuan was a man with no shortage of money, and he had ninety gold coins that were about to arrive in his account. He did not care at all about Xun Ning's small expense, and directly bought him several pieces of clothes from the best clothing shop in the city, as well as various daily necessities.
Xun Ning was so moved that he called her a good person and became more determined to follow her.
The two rode all the way to Luo City. Chu Yuan was recognized as soon as she entered the city gate. Now she is the most famous person in Luo City.
"Look! It's Chu Yuan, the hero who wiped out the evil cult."
"Who is the man behind her? He can't be her husband!"
Someone next to him looked at him with disdain: "Didn't you read the latest episode of The Heroine of Los Angeles? Didn't it say that there was a young man in red who fought against the ten martial masters with Chu Yuan at Shengsui Peak. He was the young master of Jiutian Qingyue Palace."
The man scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm a little short of money recently. You mean to say that the other person on the horse is the young master of the legendary Jiutian Qingyue Palace, dear!"
Chu Yuan didn't react to this. She had led troops into battle before, and when she returned to the capital, she accepted the worship of everyone. That scene was much more grand than this.
Xun Ning blushed and gently poked Chu Yuan's lower back: "They said I am your husband."
Chu Yuan turned his head and said, "It's all your fault. I told you so many times to buy another horse, but you just wouldn't. My poor Dahong has lost a lot of weight."
Xun Ning looked at the plump and strong red horse under him and couldn't agree with Chu Yuan's words. How could Dahong be thin? She was obviously very strong.
"Chu Yuan, how long will it take us to get to your house?"
"Almost there. Just two blocks ahead."
As soon as Xun Ning heard that she was going to take him home, he prepared gifts long ago. It was also at that time that Chu Yuan knew that Jiutian Qingyue Palace had a base in every city, and Xun Ning could take away anything he wanted there with the status of the young palace master.
So this guy looted the treasure houses of several strongholds along the way, took away a lot of good things, and even hired a car to follow him, which was loaded with gifts for this visit.
Chu Yuan just let him do it. Anyway, these things would end up in his pocket, so there was no need to refuse.
Moreover, this person was quite good at giving people what they like. Knowing that the Wen family was a medical family, most of the gifts he selected were precious medicinal herbs, some of which would make Chu Yuan excited even when he saw them.
I don’t know how Lord Xun would feel when he sees his son squandering money like this.
Someone who was curious had already gone one step ahead of them and ran to the Chu family to deliver the news: "Master Chu, your daughter Chu Yuan is back, and she brought the young master of Jiutian Qingyue Palace with her. She has already entered the city gate."
Chu Hua thought he was a liar at first. Many people came to his house under the guise of his daughter to defraud him of money. But at this time, Xie Feng stood up and said, "Yes, I have received the news. She will be back soon."
Even if Chu Hua doesn't believe it, how can Xie Feng not believe it?
So Chu Hua immediately began to prepare, and did not forget to instruct his servants to give a generous reward to the person who had just come to report the news.
As soon as Chu Yuan entered the house, a little girl who was only as tall as her waist hugged her arm: "Sister, you are finally back. Qing'er really missed you."
The happiest person when Chu Yuan returned home this time was the little girl Chu Qing. She is seven years old this year, just at the age when she loves listening to stories. She has read the script of "The Heroine of Los Angeles" countless times.
She admired Chu Yuan, the heroic sister in the eyes of the world, very much. Because of her identity as Chu Yuan's younger sister, she was like a big sister in the academy and stole the limelight.
After Chu Yuan greeted his parents, he immediately introduced Xun Ning, the guest who came from afar, to everyone: "Father, mother, this is Xun Ning, a friend I made outside."
Chu Hua patted Xun Ning's shoulder with a smile and said, "I know, I know, you are the young master of Jiutian Qingyue Palace. Now people outside are talking about the story of you and Yuan'er fighting against the Ten Martial Lords together. It's true that heroes emerge from youth."
"Uncle, you are too kind. It should be Miss Chu who contributed the most in that battle. I just benefited from it."
Chu Yuan was impatient to see them being polite to each other, so he sat down on the chair and said, "Mom, when are we going to eat? I've been riding a horse all morning, and I'm so hungry."
Mother Chu looked at her daughter lovingly. She was different after this trip. Her personality was much more lively than before. "Okay, mother will tell the servants to serve dinner right away."
So before Xun Ning had the chance to introduce the cart of gifts he brought, he was taken to the dining table and ate a meal in a daze.
After dinner, Chu Hua took Xun Ning into the study, while Chu Yuan was taken to the backyard by his mother.
"Yuan'er, tell me the truth, did that Xun Gongzi come to propose marriage?"
"No, mother, why would you think so?"
"I've seen the cart of things he brought. They are all priceless treasures. Who would bring so many gifts when visiting a friend?"
Chu Yuan answered honestly: "Xun Ning, he wants to bring so many gifts, what can I do? Besides, he is the young master of Jiutian Qingyue Palace, these things are nothing to him."
