The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Speaking of Zhang Fan marrying Luo Ling'er as his concubine today, many people are very happy, and now, the worship is about to begin.

Still the same sentence, all the ceremonies today are simple and simple, but they are definitely not shabby at all. They have everything that should be there, and it can be regarded as comprehensive.

Zhang Fan and Luo Ling'er walked into the Zhang Family Hall side by side, and the hall was already filled with people. Zhang Fan's mother, Mrs. Zhao, was no longer there, but Zhang Yufang, an uncle, was naturally qualified for the position of Gao Tang, and the woman's place was of course Liu Shan. Let him sit in the hall.

Fortunately, Zhang Fan married Luo Linger as his concubine, because China is so big, although the form of marrying a wife is somewhat the same, but it is always to kneel down to Gaotang, but it is not certain whether to marry a concubine, in many places Although the customs are a little different, Zhang Fan just took Luo Linger and bowed to his uncle and Liu Shan, and it was fine. Otherwise, let Zhang Fan kneel down to an eunuch like Liu Shan, even if he has the best It is estimated that he will have to go crazy on the spot with his concentration.

Although it is a concubine, the etiquette is not ambiguous at all. After the master of ceremonies shouted to send her into the bridal chamber, Luo Linger would have to wait for a long time, and Zhang Fan had a heavy responsibility, so he naturally had to go to the dining table and be drunk. With Zhang Fan's current status, no one here is qualified to drink to him, but he is really happy today. Once this person is happy, the quality of drinking two glasses will naturally rise, and Zhang Fan's appearance really makes him feel happy. Those who were dining in the hall were overjoyed, but what these people thought was not the same thing, all the merchants thought was to have a few words with Zhang Fan, drink a glass of wine, and increase their income. It was all about saving face, and those officials thought of other places. They took it for granted that Zhang Fan must have something to talk to Liu Shan when he came here at this time.

Speaking of Zhang Fan taking a concubine today, he hadn’t even sent out an invitation, but who is Zhang Yufang, decades of experience made him expect this kind of scene, although if he was some kind of water, wine, The dishes are not prepared. The people who came today must not even dare to fart because of Zhang Fan's face, but Zhang Yufang is also a person who wants to save face. He can't do such a trivial thing. No, a sumptuous banquet has been prepared in the backyard of the Zhang family. The yard of this family is also quite large, but now it is filled with more than a dozen tables of banquets, and this is almost not enough Yes, Zhang Yufang looked at the scene in front of him, and secretly called it a fluke in his heart, the seats in this banquet are just right, if one table is missing, there will be no seats for more than ten people, that would be bad.

Zhang Fan is today's protagonist, so naturally Zhang Yufang is sitting in the main seat, and Zhang Fan is naturally sitting next to him, and besides him is naturally Liu Shan. This arrangement is definitely not intentional, at least it is not suitable for discussion. What kind of "confidential" thing, after all, there are too many people here nowadays, if someone overhears something that shouldn't be said, it will be of no benefit to anyone, Zhang Fan naturally needn't say it, Liu Shan But he is also an old fritter, how can he not know the truth of this, the two of them naturally chatted and laughed, and talked freely, but what they talked about was commonplace, or something that ordinary people don't know much about. It's just an official anecdote. At least, there are many Zhang Fan's family members sitting beside this table. Although they are also children of rich families, there are some things that they have never heard of, and they listen with gusto.

"Brother Fan, you mean, you were blocked by tens of thousands of Tartar soldiers back then, and the reinforcements from the court didn't know when they would come to rescue you." For some reason, Zhang Fan said that he went to the city at the beginning of the year. Regarding the Tatar matter, those present had heard a lot about the war from books and books, but Zhang Fan, a person who experienced life and death, said it more vividly. No, Zhang Ting heard the tense part, as if Some couldn't believe what Zhang Fan said, and asked involuntarily.

"That's right," Zhang Fan said without blaming her for interrupting himself, "Apart from merchants and other people who had no combat power, only General Qi Jiguang sent us to guard the road when we went to Yiji. Our 1 Qi's army was nothing more than my own, so I persuaded Alda to bring his 2 horses to escort us back, but who would have thought that those rebellious Tartar nobles were so ruthless that two tribal leaders fell in front of us? 1 horses came to intercept us, and another [-] horses from another tribe were chasing us. When they caught up with us, we were blocked by a river, and we couldn’t advance or retreat.”

"Then...then what happened later, Brother Fan, weren't you afraid at the time?" Zhang Ting asked with her heart in her throat when she heard this, and the others were eager to know how Zhang Fan and others got out of trouble .

"To be honest, I wasn't really scared at that time," Zhang Fan said with a smile, "If you say that when I was in Yiji Naizhong, I was worried that the Tartar nobles would attack, and I don't know when I would die. In other places, I was a little scared at that time, but once the crisis came to my eyes, I was not so scared when I saw that I was about to die. It's still bigger, but it's not lifeless, I'm afraid this is the so-called death and rebirth, "

Then Zhang Fan told the rest of the story, but he omitted the part about Yingyue sacrificing her life to save her. First, he was afraid that Zhang Yufang would blame him. After all, Yingyue had saved his life, but now he was the first to Marrying Luo Linger, not mentioning Yingyue is to prevent Zhang Yufang from having any thoughts. Secondly, Yingyue did not appear today, and let alone she did not know, even if she knew that Zhang Fan did not mention her, she would not blame Zhang at all. Fan, after all, to her, these things are not a big deal.

The ending of the story is naturally happy. When everyone present heard this happy ending, they also felt extremely happy. Instead, Zhang Yufang said: "This barbarian is a barbarian. He didn't hesitate to kill his own people for his own benefit. Emperor Zu rushed back to the grassland, "

Everyone who said these words nodded their heads and expressed their agreement. Only Zhang Fan and Liu Shan looked at each other and smiled. People are good at tricks, and their blood is even more bloody than others, but Zhang Fan thinks that Zhang Yufang thinks this is not bad, after all, for ordinary people, the world is safe and secure is the happiest thing for them fundamental.

"My brother-in-law is terrible. No, after returning to Beijing that time, the emperor conferred the title of Uncle Zhongyong. Doesn't it clearly show that he is loyal and brave?" Liu Shan added fuel to the side, "But Today is Zhang Fan's day of great joy, don't talk about beatings and killings, red and bloody things, it's unlucky, talk about festive things."

Sure enough, everyone stopped mentioning these things and started gossiping, and the scene suddenly became lively.

While socializing, Zhang Fan was thinking about how to deal with Liu Shan so that his performance would not be in vain. Just as he was thinking, Wang Meng came to him and whispered something to him, just to report Zhu Yijun's recent situation.

Speaking of which, apart from Yingyue who was not present, many people did not show up today, Zhu Yijun, Nurhachi, Ruan Er, Richard and Joanna, the first few were because Zhu Yijun didn't want to show up, not because he wanted Zhang Fan to marry Luo Linger. If there is any objection to being a concubine, in his eyes, Zhang Fan is omnipotent, and it is no big deal to marry a few concubines, especially for him with a father like Long Qing, he has long been familiar with it in the palace No, no, I took a few people out to play early this morning, even Yingyue was handed over by Zhu Yijun just after dressing up for Zhang Fan, and Richard and Joanna also I don't really want to participate in this banquet. No, it should be said that Richard is quite interested in it. After all, he is a foreign minister, and he should be familiar with the etiquette of other countries, but Joanna doesn't know how to answer these days She always has a face full of unhappiness, and she doesn’t say anything when asked, no, early this morning, Joanna’s unhappiness reached its peak, and Richard doesn’t seem to let her attend the banquet, in case Once something happened at the banquet, he couldn't afford to lose face. After all, they came to Daming on behalf of the Portuguese royal family this time, so he had no choice but to use his extremely awkward, awkward Chinese to ask Zhu Yijun to be able to be with him. They went out to play together, Zhu Yijun didn't have any hesitation, and readily agreed. After all, going on a trip is interesting only when there are many people, but Zhu Yijun still thinks that there are few people going. Of course, those who followed them secretly protected him people are not included.

After listening to Wang Meng's report, Zhang Fan felt relieved. Naturally, apart from Zhu Yijun's situation, most of what Wang Meng said was about Ruan'er. This was also Zhang Fan's request, and he would hear it every day. This kind of report, no matter what he is doing, Wang Meng has to disturb him and report to him, and this Ruan'er has not done anything outrageous so far, only heard that Zhu Yijun opened a small private school , teaching her and Nurhachi all day long, teaching them how to read and write, and doing it with great interest, and Zhu Yijun didn't alienate Zhang Fan because of Ruan'er, he still respected Zhang Fan very much, Once there was something he didn't understand, he would immediately ask Zhang Fan for an answer, which reassured Zhang Fan a lot.

However, this matter of reporting the news should have been Liang Chao's job at the beginning. After all, Zhang Fan had appointed Liang Chao to handle this matter, but Liang Chao was not stupid. Wouldn't it be wrong to interrupt rashly, so this task had to fall on Wang Meng, and Wang Meng, a very calm person now also felt that he had been fooled by Liang Chao, at least he was very embarrassed now.

The banquet is over halfway, but this only refers to Zhang Fan alone. Judging from the current situation, this late lunch will probably take a long time. I am afraid it will last until it is held together with the dinner. , but Zhang Fan is not worried about this, he has some things to talk to Liu Shan now,
