The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Yufang had just arrived in the capital, and he was pulled over by Zhang Fan. Of course, Zhang Yufang didn't know what Zhang Fan wanted to do with him, but even if Zhang Fan hadn't told him, he could It can be guessed that since Zhang Fan will look for him, it means that this matter must not be a matter of the court, because it is useless to ask him, an uncle, for those things, so Zhang Yufang immediately thought of it. It is possible that something happened in Zhang Fan's family, that's why Zhang Fan wanted to discuss it with him, and even asked him for help.

And Zhang Yufang's guess was not wrong. After the two sat down, they just exchanged greetings and asked about the recent situation at home. Zhang Fan stopped talking too much and immediately talked about things. As for this, Zhang Yufang knew that no matter what the matter was, it might be urgent. Perhaps it might not be too important to this matter, but it was a family matter after all, so the measure Standards have changed a lot.

So, Zhang Yufang began to listen to Zhang Fan talking about the matter. When he first heard that it was because Zhang Fan had a woman outside, Zhang Yufang didn't think it was a big deal, after all, in this era. That's it, it's not a crime for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention Zhang Fan's current status, from his own point of view, he is just a romantic man, but when it comes to seriousness, it is completely possible to treat this Although this is also a reason, it is obvious that this reason is tenable in this era.

Therefore, when Zhang Yufang just heard Zhang Fan say this kind of thing, he didn't think there was any problem. He even felt that Zhang Fan might be making a fuss over a molehill. After all, Zhang Fan doesn't just have a wife like Ru Xue now. , there are still several concubines in the family, this is what Zhang Yufang knows, since the situation in Zhang Fan's family is already like this, then what is there to say, if this is the case, then just take it back to the family, From Zhang Yufang's point of view, even Mrs. Zhao could not disagree with such a matter. Zhang Yufang even felt that Mrs. Zhao would be happy if this woman could give birth to a child for Zhang Fan.

However, Zhang Yufang's idea only appeared for a short time before he gave up on it himself. Even before Zhang Fan went further, Zhang Yufang thought that something was wrong, and the most obvious problem was That is, if even Zhang Yufang thinks this matter is nothing, then Zhang Fan doesn't need to ask him for help at all, he can solve it entirely by himself, but now, Zhang Fan not only found him, And also made this matter so mysterious, obviously things are not that simple anymore.

Zhang Yufang is a person who has seen the world, and he does business, even if it is a business handed down from his ancestors, but Zhang Yufang still has to meet all kinds of people. There is no need to think too much about this matter. Zhang Yufang immediately thought of a possibility. The reason why Zhang Fan finds it difficult is not easy to tell Zhao. on the woman.

This was the thought in Zhang Yufang's mind at such a moment, and I have to mention that Zhang Yufang's thought was not wrong at all, and it really was like this.

And the result was as expected. Zhang Fan then explained the reason and let Zhang Yufang know that the problem really was the woman.

In fact, when Zhang Yufang considered that the problem was with the woman, he had already begun to think about the possibility in his heart. The first thing he thought of was that the woman's family background might be unusual, and Zhang Fan wanted to It would be more troublesome to accept her as a concubine.

But Zhang Yufang immediately gave up this idea, because Zhang Fan's identity was in front of him. If the woman's identity and family background really made Zhang Fan feel difficult, I'm afraid Zhang Fan would simply ask him for help. To no avail.

So that means...

This time, before Zhang Yufang had time to think about what else was possible, Zhang Fan had already brought up the problem.

Zhang Yufang was really surprised when he heard that the woman was a widow. Naturally, he has encountered such a situation, even in Yangzhou, he has seen similar things.

Regarding the matter itself, Zhang Yufang didn't want to say anything. Although he is a man, it's not that he can't imagine the feelings in the hearts of those women, especially widows. It's really normal to have this kind of thing, and even among the people Zhang Yufang knows, he knows that some people maintain this kind of relationship with some widows.

But this kind of relationship is nothing in itself, as long as no outsiders find out, Zhang Yufang doesn't think there is any problem. Although it is also under the feudal ethics, everyone's temperament is different after all, Zhang Yufang doesn't think there will be any problems question.

But now, the situation Zhang Fan encounters is not just that, the situation Zhang Fan encounters is that the woman is already pregnant with his flesh and blood, and this makes things more difficult up.

Looking at Zhang Fan's appearance, and asking him for help because of this matter, it is obvious that Zhang Fan and that woman had feelings for each other before, that is to say, whether it is the two parties or one of them, I am afraid that they want to give birth to this child , and because of this, the relationship between Zhang Fan and her can no longer be maintained as it is now. When the time comes, the woman's belly will get bigger, and everyone can see it, and the problem will happen at that time.

According to Zhang Fan, Zhang Fan wanted to take the woman into his house. Zhang Yufang did not object to this matter. Although the other party was married, her husband was dead after all. It doesn't matter if you enter the house as a concubine, even Zhang Yufang has seen such things, and those people's identities are not as good as Zhang Fan's, they can see this matter subside, let alone Zhang Fan's identity, want to It is really easy to let this matter not make waves.

But the problem does not lie with Zhang Fan, but with Zhang Fan's mother, Mrs. Zhao. This matter is not a matter of the court. Of course, the court can be decided by Zhang Fan. No matter whether it is good or bad, this matter belongs to Zhang Fan's family. Although Zhang Fan is the pillar of the family, he has the final say on the affairs of the family, and it is not his wife's problem. Zhang Yufang believes that if she really wants to say something, Ru Xue will never go against Zhang Fan's will.

But the problem is that the real power in Zhang Fan's family is actually Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao is Zhang Fan's mother. No matter how high an official Zhang Fan is, this will never change. It's fine if Mrs. Zhao doesn't say anything about things in Zhang Fan's family, but once Mrs. Zhao speaks up, she must act according to Mrs. Zhao's words.

The same is true for this matter. Zhang Fan wants to take a widow into his house as a concubine. If Mrs. Zhao agrees, then everything is easy to talk about. There is a way to let the woman into the house.

And Zhang Yufang is not ignorant of Zhao's temper. Although Zhang Yufang's contact with Zhao's time is not long, even shorter than the time of acquaintance with Zhang Fan, Zhang Yufang is very familiar with Zhao's, or He said that Mrs. Zhao is not a complicated person, and it is easy to understand.

If Zhang Yufang really wanted to comment, there was only one sentence, the Zhao family was too traditional.

Maintaining tradition is naturally a good thing, but if it reaches a certain point, it may not be a good thing. Regarding this matter, Zhang Yufang also feels that Zhao Shi heard the news, even if he knew that the woman was pregnant. Zhang Fan's flesh and blood, but the possibility of agreeing is not great.

When Zhang Fan came back to ask him for help, he wanted him to say something nice in front of Mrs. Zhao. After all, only he, his wife, and Mrs. Zhao belonged to the same generation in the entire Zhang family. In order to persuade her to agree to something in front of Mrs. Zhao that she is unlikely to agree to, seniority is a very important issue. Obviously, from this perspective, Zhang Fan seems to be the only one who can help Zhang Fan.

"Fan'er..." After listening to Zhang Fan's words, Zhang Yufang was very helpless, "You want me to help you, it's really embarrassing for me, it's not that I don't want to help, after all, it's just to help you I don’t think there’s anything wrong with saying good things to your mother, but the problem is, if your mother doesn’t agree, I mean, even if I try to persuade her, she still won’t agree, what about you,

"Nephew doesn't know," Zhang Fan said very frankly, although he didn't give a good answer, "Nephew really doesn't know, if possible, I still hope that mother will agree to this matter, once mother refuses In the future, it is absolutely impossible for my mother to agree, so, to put it bluntly, this opportunity is only once, so my nephew must rely on the help of his uncle, otherwise, with Ru Xue alone, my mother will never yes, "

"Oh," Zhang Yufang sighed once again, "it's nothing for me to help you with this matter, and you can also rest assured that since I agreed, I will help you as a power, but when the time comes, will it be possible? , To be honest, I don't have a bottom in my heart.

"But since this is the case, before I go to tell your mother about this matter, I have to meet with Ru Xue first. I have to discuss with her what to say when I see it. I don't know if it will work, but this To be prepared is to be prepared.”

"Naturally, my nephew will arrange it," Zhang Fan nodded. Although Zhang Yufang had agreed to help, Zhang Fan didn't feel relaxed. Zhang Fan thought it would be easy for Zhang Yufang to help, but just like As Zhang Yufang said, it is really hard to say whether this matter will be possible.
