The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

This year has been very stable. In short, nothing unexpected happened. Of course, this is for Zhang Fan's family. There are constant laughter and firecrackers in the house. In short, it looks like a smile.

And facing this kind of scene, it really makes people feel very good, except for one thing, that is, in such a cold winter, early in the morning, when it is still completely dark, you have to get up to go to court, and you have to stand in the cold It took a long time to wait outside the unclear palace gate. In addition, official uniforms had to be worn in the court, and there were not many warm clothes inside, otherwise it would be too ugly.

For Zhang Fan, this is not bad, after all, he is very young now, even if he wakes up earlier in the morning, it doesn't matter, but for those elderly people, it is really not easy to get up so early in such a cold day Yes, but fortunately, these people have come here like this. They have been used to it for more than ten or ten years, but the time waiting outside the palace gate is really difficult. , even Zhang Fan's young and tough body feels a bit unbearable. It would be fine if there is no wind, but once there is wind, and sometimes it will even snow, then it is really hard to bear, and even Zhang Fan Everything is like this, let alone those old guys, it is even more unbearable.

Originally, these civil servants were not very healthy, but now it is very cold and snowy, but it is still early in the morning, when the sky is dark, they have to suffer from the cold here, and it really makes them suffer. But there is no way to do this. Since you want to be an official, that's all you can do.

But now it’s nothing. Anyway, there’s nothing going on recently. Although it’s necessary to go to court on time, there’s nothing to do. Even if it’s going to court, it’s not a big deal. , and after that, it doesn't take much time to go down, even if some people lack sleep, just go back to sleep, it's no big deal, of course, for these old bones, going to bed early in the morning is not a big deal. Unrealistic, just fine in the afternoon.

Of course, for these people, sleeping is a good way now. After all, these people are very upset now, and they really don’t have much to do now. Such a sleep relieves thousands of worries.

The days go by day by day. After the new year, Zhang Fan is also a bit busy. After all, he has to go out to pay New Year's greetings. Although his status in the court is naturally very high, but after all, he is young and his seniority is orderly. I went to pay New Year's greetings to others, so since the first day of the new year, this wine has not stopped. Fortunately, what I drink now is low-alcohol wine brewed from grain. If it is replaced by the white wine of later generations, few people may be able to accept Come on, but even this kind of low-alcohol alcohol, if you drink too much, you will still be intoxicated. Compared with high-alcohol alcohol, if you get intoxicated with low-alcohol alcohol, you will be more completely intoxicated.

Therefore, Zhang Fan has been a little sluggish for the past few days until the fifth day of the new year. This is not because Zhang Fan doesn't know the right amount. After all, in this circle, some things really can't be helped. And there are some wines that you can’t drink if you don’t want to. Of course, it’s better for civil servants to drink with those people in the court, but they are afraid of meeting military officers. It’s really unbearable for everyone to drink.

In short, this is the case with Zhang Fan. Of course, the people at home also treat Zhang Fan. They have nothing to do this year and they are at home again. But Zhang Fan is good. He is not at home almost every day these days. At night, he came back drunk, which really made the family complain, but after all, it was much better in the past two years, and besides, even so, it was only a few days, and it will be fine after coming here.

On the contrary, recently, Yu'er has often come to Zhang's mansion. Of course, she is still Fang Yueling's maid, so there is no problem coming here, but, logically speaking, she should live here, but she Now she is living in Wang Meng's house. Although there is no one else in Wang Meng's house, as long as Wang Meng agrees, it will be fine, but after all, it will make people feel that something is wrong. Although the relationship between her and Wang Meng is almost the same now. It has been determined, but after all, it has not been passed yet.

It's not because Yu'er was married before. After all, no one in the capital knew her. Besides, Wang Meng was not the kind of person who would care about such things. Of course, even Yu'er was not that kind. The kind of person who counts such things.

But even so, the two of them were not married, and Yu'er hadn't entered the Wang family's door, so it was a bit outrageous to just live there in such a grand manner.

However, even though it is outrageous to say it, someone has to talk about it. If no one talks about it, and no one cares, then it’s just doing whatever they want. Therefore, Yu’er and Wang Meng are just like that now .

During the Chinese New Year period, Yu'er and Wang Meng also went to Zhang Fan's house together several times, but later, after the first day of the new year, the yamen was also a bit busy, so Wang Meng was also going to be on duty, and Yu'er Er'er is obviously not the kind of character who can still be alone at home at this time, so she often runs to Zhang's mansion to talk to Fang Yueling and so on.

It was nothing at first, but in the past two days, Yuer and Fang Yueling, no, only Yuer was alone. In short, Fang Yueling was fine, but other people could clearly see that Yuer's expression was a little strange , is not the same as usual.

Of course, the people in Zhang's mansion are all curious, especially Zhaoxue and Yingyue, but they also know that Yuer's temper is not very good. At least it turned out that Zhaoxue was a little afraid of her, and Yingyue was also In the Five Poison Sect, Yu'er was also familiar with her. Although Yu'er took good care of her at that time, Yingyue was also a little afraid of Yu'er, so they didn't dare to ask.

The two most curious people didn't ask any more questions, and the others held back even if they were curious.

But on the contrary, there is a person who is also curious, but doesn't care about those things, and this person is Joanna.

This Chinese New Year really opened Joanna's horizons. Last Chinese New Year, she went to Sichuan with Zhang Fan and lived in the Shu Palace. Indeed, it made Joanna really feel different for the first time celebrating the New Year in Daming, but this time it was different, this time she was in the capital city, and although the Zhang family was also a family of officials, it was different from ordinary people Yes, but after all, the Zhang Mansion is not an imperial palace, and the Zhao family is now in charge, so even if it is a little different from ordinary people, generally speaking, there is no difference.

This also allowed Joanna to truly see how the Chinese celebrate the New Year. At least for Joanna herself, this is much more interesting than her hometown. If the New Year is celebrated over there, for nobles like them, That is to say, there are endless dance parties and receptions. Although Zhang Fan is also going to visit various houses here, Joanna can tell that at least the people here, even if they are very distinguished, do not talk like those The aristocrats are so twitchy, they can be as usual as usual, without any restraint.

Even here, even two people who are fighting each other can be peaceful when they meet during the Chinese New Year. As for the disputes between the two, at most, it is needless to say, but it will not be unpleasant.

In short, that's it. This is Joanna's feeling about the New Year here. It's lively and festive. Although it's the first time, Joanna feels that she has fallen in love with this lively situation.

When it comes to Joanna here, she can also see that Yu'er has been different for the past two days, but there is nothing old between her and Yu'er, so she doesn't know Yu'er too well, and Yu'er was in the At home, she was also polite, so Joanna had a good impression of Yu'er. As for the obvious quarrels between her and Zhang Fan, Joanna didn't care, but found it a bit interesting.

Now, not only Yingyue and Zhaoxue, but actually everyone is a little curious about Yu'er's abnormality now, but Yingyue and Zhaoxue don't ask, and the others don't want to ask, but Joanna does. come out.

Of course, Joanna wasn't really curious enough to ask what was going on, but to her, she just asked about it as a very common thing, that is to say Well, when Joanna asked about this matter, she really didn't feel burdened at all, and she didn't even have any tweaks.

However, even so, Joanna is not ignorant of the world. Even if she asks about this matter, she can't ask Yu'er directly, it will only make Yu'er feel embarrassed, and therefore, Joanna The person who asked was Fang Yueling. After all, Yu'er had been talking to Fang Yueling for the past two days.

I have to say that Joanna's question is really asking the right person. If she asked Yu'er directly, maybe Yu'er would not blame her, but I am afraid that Yu'er would not tell her, although Yu'er It is indeed a bit unusual in this respect, but the relationship between her and Wang Meng brought her back to the past, and the long-term tweaking feeling really made her unable to speak out.

But Fang Yueling is different. Compared with Yu'er, Fang Yueling really hasn't changed much. Maybe Fang Yueling has changed after entering the Zhang family, but she herself hasn't changed much. At first, Fang Yueling answered Joanna's question very easily.

The answer is also very simple, that is, Yu'er has been discussing marriage, whose marriage is naturally between her and Wang Meng.

As soon as this news came out, everyone in the Zhang family was shocked.
