The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

In this way, the days are still passing day by day.Since Chen Wenchuan returned to Dingbian, the two sisters visited Zhang Fan's house more often, and would come here from time to time, euphemistically called "Visiting Auntie".Of course the two sisters have this thought, but it is true that Chen Zhaoxue asked Zhang Fan to tell her a story.As for Ru Xue, perhaps only he and Zhang Fan felt that their relationship hadn't been exposed yet.

Mrs. Zhao is someone who has been there, so she can't see the relationship between the two, but she is very satisfied with Ru Xue, and often thinks of the scene when she became her daughter-in-law, and she laughs unconsciously, which attracts Zhang Fan. Very puzzled.But the little girl Zhaoxue didn't feel anything at all, she just complained that her sister and Zhang Fan left her and went out alone.

After several months, the relationship between the two has become very close, and Zhaoxue finally noticed it, and even County Magistrate Ma knew about it.However, he was very relieved of Zhang Fan and did not stop him.

Ever since Zhaoxue found out about the relationship between Zhang Fan and her sister, she didn't show any emotion to Zhang Fan. Instead, she called each other "brother-in-law" affectionately, and she ran away in shame every time.Although Zhang Fan always said: "Don't talk nonsense." and other words, he didn't know where he was happy in his heart.

These days, Ru Xue, a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love, is very happy to have such a suave and promising sweetheart like Zhang Fan.The whole person is no longer as taciturn as before, with a smile on his face all day long.Every time before meeting with Zhang Fan, I would just dream about something blankly; after meeting, although I liked it very much, but because of the identity of the girl's family, I didn't dare to be bold; Feeling melancholy, not even the spirit.

"Sister, are you thinking about Brother Zhang again?" Zhaoxue asked with a smile when she saw her sister sitting in a daze on the stone bench in the courtyard again.

"Hmm." Chen Ruxue seemed to be thinking about something, and when she heard Zhaoxue's question, she answered naturally, but suddenly found something wrong, and hurriedly said, "No."

"No?" Zhaoxue looked at her sister mischievously, and said, "Then I'll tell Brother Zhang!"

"Don't." Ru Xue was in a panic now, she didn't have her usual calmness, she couldn't even see her sister's teasing, and she realized after a while, "Well, you little girl, how dare you come to tease my sister."

"Hee hee, I know what my sister is thinking." Zhaoxue stuck out her little tongue playfully, and said with a playful smile, "Sister, what do you like about Brother Zhang?"

"What do you think?" As soon as Zhang Fan was mentioned, Chen Ruxue burst out with admiration.

Looking at her sister's appearance, Zhaoxue pretended to shake her head helplessly, thought for a while, and said, "Brother Zhang, he is also good-looking, good at reading, and good at speaking. Story. But sister, Brother Zhang has so many advantages, where do you like it?"

"I don't know, but I don't think that's what attracted me to him." After all, it's the sisters, once they let go, the chatter will open, "Remember when we first met him? "

"Of course, it wasn't that scoundrel who wanted to tease us, thanks to Brother Zhang's words of help." Zhaoxue naturally remembered what it was like to meet Zhang Fan for the first time.

"Actually, at that time, I thought he just wanted to make a good impression in front of our sisters." Ru Xue recalled, "It was only later..."

"What happened then?" Seeing her sister stop, Zhaoxue hurriedly asked.

"After I heard my uncle talk about it, I realized that he was not like that." Ru Xue recalled slowly, "Later, when the results of the provincial examination were notified throughout Shaanxi, he won the name Jieyuan. At that time... ..."

"Did you have a crush on Brother Zhang then?" Zhaoxue seemed impatient and kept interrupting her sister's words.

Ru Xue didn't show an expression of boredom, but shook her head and said, "At that time, I thought that he was selected by Juren at such a young age, and the people from Juren background that Dad knew were not very rigid, but also old-fashioned. Being pure and noble, he doesn't put women in his eyes."

"That's right, those people are not good people." Zhaoxue also felt deeply, "But Brother Zhang is not like that."

"He is indeed not." Ru Xue continued, "That day I heard my father say that a scholar in Anhua County was recruited by the court. When I asked, it turned out to be him. Others are different. This Anhua did not suffer from the Tartars. He could have refused, but he didn’t. At that time, I had already looked at him differently, but I didn’t have any feeling of liking. Until this Chinese New Year, we went to his at home……"

"Brother's house, what's wrong?" Zhaoxue asked a little strangely.

"Do you still remember why we went to his house?" Ru Xue asked.

"Of course I remember, we didn't just go and see..." Zhaoxue said.

"That's right, we wanted to see 'mother', even if it belonged to someone else, but when we heard father and uncle talk about it, we felt..." Ru Xue said, "It feels so similar to my mother."

Zhaoxue also surprisingly didn't speak this time, just nodded, but then asked: "But sister, what does this have to do with your elder brother now?"

"I was thinking at the time." Ru Xue said, "If I have the same mother as us, then he must be very similar to me. Maybe such a person can really understand me."

"So my sister wanted to try it, but now she is deeply involved?" Zhaoxue began to tease again.

This time Ru Xue heard her sister's joke, but she didn't rush to deny it, but nodded shyly.

Seeing her sister's appearance, Chen Zhaoxue knew that her sister was really in love with Zhang Fan, so she shook her head helplessly. "But sister loves so deeply, will she be bullied by elder brother? No, elder brother Zhang is very kind and won't do that." Zhaoxue was thinking wildly in her heart, but she still couldn't feel at ease. She decided to see Zhang Fan .This girl is also vigorous and resolute in her work, she does what she says, and she is about to go out even though it is night.

"Zhao Xue, it's so late, where are you going?" Ru Xue asked quickly when she saw her sister walking out in a hurry.

"Sister, don't worry, I have something to do when I go out, I'll be back in a while." Zhaoxue said back to her sister, and walked out the door without stopping.

"Zhaoxue, Zhaoxue..." Ru Xue yelled a few times, but there was no sign of her younger sister, so she had to stop, looked at the direction her sister was leaving, and sighed helplessly.

Zhaoxue ignored the inquiry of the county gatekeeper, and only said that she had the approval of Ma County Magistrate.The porter had no choice but to let her out.Zhao Xue didn't care about the girl's image at all, and started running on the street.The eagerness in her heart to know the answer could not slow her down.Fortunately, there were no pedestrians on the road at this time, so her nature was not exposed to the entire county, otherwise some rumors would appear the next day.

Zhaoxue came to Zhang Fan's house and knocked on the door.After a while, Zhao's voice came from behind the door: "Who is it?"

"Auntie, it's me, Zhaoxue." Zhaoxue quickly replied.

"It's Zhaoxue." After hearing Zhaoxue's words, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly opened the door and said, "What are you doing here so late? Even though it's spring, it's still a bit cold at night, don't freeze."

"Aunt Xie, I'm fine." Zhaoxue said quickly, "Brother Zhang, is he at home?"

"Your Brother Zhang is reading a book in the study." Mrs. Zhao didn't know what Zhaoxue wanted to do with her son, so she asked with some doubts, "What do you want to do with him?"

"I have some things to ask my elder brother alone." After finishing speaking, he pleaded guilty, and ran to Zhang Fan's study without waiting for Mrs. Zhao to speak.

Mrs. Zhao looked at the little girl in a hurry with some helplessness, knowing that her character was like this, she didn't blame her.

Zhaoxue came to the door of Zhang Fan's study and saw that the light was still on inside, hesitated for a while, but still made up her mind and knocked on the door.

"Mother, come in, why are you knocking?" Zhang Fan thought it was Mrs. Zhao.

Zhaoxue pushed the door open, and Zhang Fan was very surprised when he saw the person coming: "Zhaoxue, why is it you?" Although the two sisters are twins, they look very similar, but the difference in temperament between Zhaoxue and Ruxue can be distinguished at a glance After coming out, and the fact that the two sisters were always dressed in one blue and one pink, Zhang Fan would not admit his mistake, "You came here so late, what's the matter?"

"Brother, I have something to ask you." Zhaoxue said.

"Okay, if Zhaoxue has anything, feel free to ask Big Brother, Big Brother will know everything and talk endlessly." Zhang Fan said with a smile, and then found that Zhaoxue's expression was surprisingly serious, and couldn't help being a little surprised, and asked, "Zhaoxue, isn't it What happened?"

Zhaoxue shook her head, adjusted her mentality, and said, "Brother, how do you feel about your sister?"

"Uh..." Zhang Fan didn't expect Zhaoxue to ask himself this question, and he was a little at a loss, but seeing Zhaoxue waiting for his answer, he said, "I like your sister very much."

"How do you like it?" Zhaoxue asked.

"I like it very much. I like it so much that I can do anything for her." Zhang Fan also said it without hesitation.Over the past few days, the relationship between Zhang Fan and Chen Ruxue has rapidly heated up, and at the moment, Zhang Fan is also very concerned about this, and it is not considered a rash talk.

"Then, then you must treat your sister well in the future." Seeing Zhang Fan say this, Zhaoxue relaxed her serious expression a little, and said, "Sister looks weak, but her temper is more stubborn than mine. If there is something If something happens, she will definitely get into a dead end."

Zhang Fan didn't speak, just quietly listening to Zhaoxue's story.

"Since my mother passed away, my father has not been at home very much." Zhaoxue said, "Although my sister was born at the same time as me, she took care of me like a mother. No matter how violent I am, my sister can tolerate me.

"Brother, I want you to promise me that you must treat my sister well in the future, otherwise, otherwise, I will not forgive you."

"Zhaoxue, don't worry." Zhang Fan stood up after hearing Zhaoxue's words, and said solemnly, "I, Zhang Fan, will treat Chen Ruxue well in the future, and if there is anything wrong, I will be struck by lightning that day and die. "

Seeing Zhang Fan swearing, Zhaoxue didn't stop him, but was very happy, whether it was because her sister had a good home, or something else.It's just that Zhang Fan suddenly felt that Zhaoxue in front of him had a disappointed expression on his face after he said such an oath. "Maybe I'm worrying too much." Zhang Fan thought to himself.

Zhaoxue got the answer she wanted, and her whole body changed back to that lively and lovely form, which really made Zhang Fan very helpless.

"I said, brother, you are quicker than you!" Zhaoxue said mischievously, "My sister is so introverted, she actually let you get away with it!"

"..." Zhang Fan was very helpless to the little girl's words, and didn't know what to say.At this time, Mrs. Zhao also brought some tea to relieve Zhang Fan's embarrassment.

"I said big brother." After Mrs. Zhao left, Zhaoxue asked again, "When are you going to ask my father for marriage?"

"Ahem..." Zhang Fan, who was drinking tea, choked on these words, coughed for a long time and couldn't speak.

"What's all the fuss about?" Zhaoxue dismissed Zhang Fan's reaction, "Could it be that you want to go back on what you just said?"

"Cough... no, it's just..." Zhang Fan finally recovered his strength and said, "This is too fast, and uncle."

"What's the matter of whether it's fast or not?" Zhaoxue puffed up her face, looked at Zhang Fan angrily and said, "If you are in love with each other, you will naturally pursue it. Besides..."

"Not to mention what?" Zhang Fan asked.

"Besides, my father seems to be very satisfied with you." Zhaoxue said, "In the past few months, my father has visited me and my sister several times, and my sister asked me insincerely. He is also very satisfied with my father, but I don't know yet. It's just your relationship with your sister."

"Then..." Zhang Fan still hesitated.

"What else, don't you like your sister very much?" Zhaoxue was very dissatisfied with Zhang Fan's indecision.

"No, Zhaoxue misunderstood." Zhang Fan said, "It's just that I might go to the capital this year, I'm afraid..."

"I've heard about this matter, can you guys settle it first?" Zhaoxue said, "It won't hinder anything if you make an engagement first."

Zhang Fan was defeated by this little girl, so he had no choice but to agree vaguely. Although this made Zhaoxue very dissatisfied, he had no choice but to do so.

It was already very late, Zhang Fan was about to send Zhaoxue back, but when he opened the door, he saw a servant from Ma County Magistrate's family was about to knock on the door of his house.

"Miss, Mr. Zhang, my master asked me to find Mr. Zhang." The visitor said.

"Miss Chen is about to go back, please rest assured Ma County Magistrate." Zhang Fan only said that he came here for Zhaoxue.

"This is one thing, and there is another thing to tell Mr. Zhang." The man said.

"What is your lord looking for from me?" Zhang Fan asked, he didn't know what the magistrate Ma was looking for at such a late hour.

"I heard that a letter came from Beijing, asking Mr. Zhang to come to the house to discuss."

Hearing this, Zhang Fan knew it was a letter from Zhang Juzheng.He and Zhaoxue looked at each other, said something to his mother, and followed the man and Zhaoxue to the county government office.
