The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

The marriage has been settled, Zhang Fan feels that life is no different, just looking forward to it.

Because Chen Wenchuan was busy with official duties in the jurisdiction, he went back after finishing his daughter's affairs here.Since Chen Ruxue got engaged to Zhang Fan, her whole body has changed drastically.It no longer gives people a feeling of self-pity and self-pity like in the past, and it blooms brightly like spring.Even County Magistrate Ma and Chen Zhaoxue can feel that Ru Xue is so dazzling and beautiful now.

It's just that the little girl Zhaoxue seems to be a little disappointed. I don't know if it's because her sister who has always been with her since she was a child is getting married or something else, but this little girl hides it very well, but in the presence of no one Sometimes she will unconsciously reveal this feeling, and Ru Xue has been indulging in sweetness recently, so how can she find this insignificant abnormality of her sister.

Apart from reading and practicing calligraphy on weekdays, Zhang Fan has already put all his thoughts on Ru Xue, so there is no room for other things in his eyes.Fortunately, I have already formed the habit of reading on weekdays, so there is no delay.However, every day at dusk is the time that Zhang Fan yearns for the most. This may sound bloody, but it seems that there is no difference between men and women who fall in love.

Although Anhua County is located in the Yellow River Plain, there is no beautiful scenery, but the two of them didn't want to see the scenery, they just immersed themselves in the sweet atmosphere between them.Although the two who have been engaged to each other should not meet, but how can the two bear the "torture" of not seeing each other.The little girl Zhaoxue has put in a lot of effort to guard her sister every day and keep Ma County Magistrate from knowing, but it is estimated that Ma County Magistrate will turn a blind eye when he finds out.

Before I knew it, it was already the end of March.During this day, the two came to a place outside the city where they often stayed.The two talked intimately for a while, Ru Xue seemed to think of something, and fell silent.Looking at his fiancée's expression, Zhang Fan asked with concern: "Ru Xue, what's wrong? Is it uncomfortable? It's windy here, let's go back."

Ru Xue shook her head, looked at Ai Lang in front of her, and said slowly, "Brother Fan, it's almost April now, do you want to..."

As soon as Zhang Fan heard Ru Xue's words, he knew what she was worried about, and he couldn't bear to think that he would be separated from her: "Ru Xue, I..."

Ru Xue didn't wait for Zhang Fan to speak, but also covered his mouth. Zhang Fan felt the tenderness from his lips and the hint of thought, and there was a wave in his heart, and the words in his mouth could not be said.

Ru Xue's hand left Zhang Fan's lips, and caressing his delicate face, which she had been thinking about day and night, said slowly, "Brother Fan, you don't need to say more. Ru Xue knows that Brother Fan is always Those who want to do a great job must not let Brother Fan be hindered for the sake of Ru Xue, otherwise Ru Xue will feel guilty for the rest of her life."

"Ru Xue." Zhang Fan clenched his sweetheart's hand, feeling infinitely grateful in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a feeling of "this is so good for a wife, what more can a husband ask for".

The two were lingering for a while, then Ru Xue remembered the business and asked, "Brother Fan, when are you going to the capital?"

"My mother has already prepared it, and it may not be a few days away." Zhang Fan said, "But... But I will write to you often."

"Brother Fan..." Hearing Zhang Fan's words, Ru Xue couldn't suppress the sadness of parting in her heart anymore, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Don't cry." Zhang Fan caressed to wipe away the tears for his lover.

"Brother Fan, I will miss you often." Ru Xue said with a choked voice.

"Me too." Zhang Fan said, hugging the beautiful woman in front of him into his arms.

When there was the last ray of light in the sky, Zhang Fan sent Ru Xue back to the county office.The girl Zhaoxue had already been waiting there, and when she saw the two of them coming back, she still sized them up mischievously.Zhang Fan was very calm, but Ru Xue was shy for a while.

"I said sister, it's been so long, and she's still so shy." Zhaoxue continued to tease.

When Ru Xue heard what her sister said, she became even more shy, her cheeks were so red that blood could drip.Zhang Fan was also very embarrassed at the side, but he couldn't think of what to say.

"Don't be like this." Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Zhaoxue said, "It's getting late, go back quickly, it would be bad if uncle found out."

It was only then that Ru Xue came to her senses, and walked in amid interlaced eyes of Zhang Fan and Zhang Fan.Before Zhaoxue entered the door, she also looked at Zhang Fan with different eyes, but Zhang Fan put all his heart on Ru Xue, so how could he notice it.

After bidding farewell to Ru Xue, Zhang Fan returned home, and just after dinner, his mother said to him: "Fan'er, everything at home is packed, what are your plans?"

"Mother, Master Zhang asked me to go in April, and it's about time now," Zhang Fan said.

"This mother knows, but, what about Ru Xue?" Mrs. Zhao also considered this issue.

"I think..." Zhang Fan actually thought about this problem long ago, "I think now that Beijing is settled down, we can make plans. And if you study near the Imperial College, you must have no time, and it will take you four years to go there."

"Oh, Ruxue." Zhao also sighed, "This is really hard for him."

"Mother, I will think of a way." Zhang Fan said, "I don't think Mr. Zhang is such an unreasonable person."

"That's the only way to go." Zhao said.

On the second day, Zhang Fan came to the county government office to discuss the matter of going to the capital with Ma County Magistrate.

"Is my nephew ready?" Magistrate Ma asked.

"Everything is ready at home." Zhang Fan replied.

"In that case, I'll write to Mr. Zhang to see what he has planned." Magistrate Ma said.

"That's it, my nephew, thank you very much." Zhang Fan said.

There is still some time to wait for the reply, and during this time, Zhang Fan cherishes every moment with Ru Xue even more, and they both want to cherish this limited time.

A few days later, it was already the fourth day of April, and Zhang Juzheng's letter also arrived. Ma County Magistrate wanted to find Zhang Fan and come to the county government office.

"Nephew, Mr. Zhang's letter has arrived." Ma County Magistrate said.

"Oh, what do you think?" Zhang Fan said listlessly.

Magistrate Ma naturally knew why Zhang Fan was doing this, so he didn't care, and said, "Master Zhang said in the letter that he asked me to send some people to escort your mother and son on the road."

"Uncle Lao has to worry about this." Zhang Fan thanked.

"Nephew, you are welcome, besides, this is what Mr. Zhang ordered." Ma County Magistrate said, "When you arrive at Baoding Mansion, go to the post there. Mr. Zhang will send someone to wait for you there."

After the two discussed the matter, Ma County Magistrate saw that Zhang Fan was still depressed, and said, "Nephew, do you still remember your ambition when you go to Beijing this time?"

"Of course I remember that Zhang Fan also made an oath to return the Ming Dynasty to a peaceful world so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment." Zhang Fan said naturally when he heard Ma County Magistrate asked this question.

"But from my point of view, if you go to the capital like this, you won't be able to do anything."

Ma County Magistrate's words were to the point, and Zhang Fan also fell silent, knowing that he couldn't do it now.

"I know what you're thinking." Magistrate Ma began to persuade Zhang Fan, "It's just that you have to distinguish between priorities, Ru Xue will be with you in the end, and no one can stop you."

Zhang Fan didn't speak, but just silently listened to Ma County Magistrate's words.

Ma County Magistrate continued, "What you have to do now is to focus on the matter in front of you wholeheartedly." Ma County Magistrate said.

After Zhang Fan heard Magistrate Ma's words, although he couldn't be completely relieved, he understood a lot. He bowed to Magistrate Ma and said, "Thank you uncle for teaching me, my nephew understands."

"Ruxue will be fine with that girl Zhaoxue." Magistrate Ma gave Zhang Fan a reassurance, "And this old man can be regarded as her uncle, so he will take good care of her."

"So, little nephew, don't worry." Zhang Fan said.

Zhang Fan came out of the county office, and was walking towards his home in a daze, when a voice stopped him.

"Brother-in-law."

There is only one person in the world who can call him that. Zhang Fan turned around, and sure enough, Zhaoxue was standing not far away.

Zhang Fan came to Zhaoxue's side and didn't speak. Zhaoxue also looked at Zhang Fan silently for a long while before saying, "Sister has something to tell you."

Zhang Fan came to the place where he and Ru Xue often went, and saw her standing there alone, looking at the sky.

Zhang Fan hurried over and said, "Ru Xue, why are you here alone?"

"Brother Fan, I..." Ru Xue didn't dare to look Zhang Fan in the eyes, "You have to go."

"En." Zhang Fan responded.

"Brother Fan, I..." Ru Xue wanted to say something.

"Ru Xue." Zhang Fan interrupted Ru Xue, and said, "We have already engaged. I promise you, I will marry you and never leave. This is my promise to you for the rest of my life."

Chen Ruxue looked at Zhang Fan's determined face, and nodded silently.

Zhang Fan returned home and told Mrs. Zhao that everything was ready to go to the capital.Zhao also began to make final preparations.

On the second day, people sent by Ma County Magistrate arrived at Zhang Fan's house. Zhang Fan opened the door and saw that he was still an acquaintance. It was Wang Degui who had been in charge of protecting him when he went out with the army.

Zhang Fan was very surprised: "Degui, aren't you the garrison of Ningxia Guard? What's the matter?"

"My lord, oh, it should be called Zhang Xianggong now." Wang Degui said with a smile, "Now I am walking by here with people, listening to Wang lord's order to have a word with Ma County magistrate, I heard Zhang Xianggong I found someone to go back and asked Mr. Wang for this job, and Mr. Wang agreed immediately. In addition, I told Magistrate Ma that I knew you, and Magistrate Ma thought it would be a good thing to have an acquaintance escort Mr. Wang. I agree."

"That's my fault." Zhang Fan also liked this simple and honest man very much.

"I heard that Mr. Zhang is engaged!" Wang Degui said suddenly.

"good."

"Congratulations then." Wang Degui said, "Always ask Mr. Xianggong for a drink anytime."

Zhang Fan also said happily: "When we get to Baoding, I will definitely treat you to a drink." The two of them laughed as they spoke. After all, men who have experienced life and death together are incomparable emotionally.

"In that case, I would like to thank you very much." Wang Degui said, "I heard that the whole family will move to the capital, brothers, come and help." He called the soldiers behind him to help Zhang Fan and Mrs. Zhao move things.

Mrs. Zhao was still the same as when she moved last time, she had already packed her things in an orderly manner, but Zhang Fan's box full of books still didn't let anyone else move it, even Zhang Fan couldn't do it, so he moved it to the car by himself. .

This time, ma county magistrate took Zhao's family into consideration and found a carriage.Zhang Fan sent his mother to the carriage of the carriage, but he did not get up.

Neighbors from Zhang Fan's family all came to see him off, and even Ma County Magistrate came. Although Zhang Fan greeted them with a smile, he felt a little disappointed. The person he most wanted to see hadn't appeared yet.

Several people left the city gate and walked eastward slowly, but Zhang Fan was indeed walking step by step.Finally, Zhang Fan saw it.I saw Zhaoxue dragging a figure to the gate of the city panting.Although the person Zhaoxue pulled was wearing blue cloth and covered his head with a scarf, Zhang Fan recognized at a glance that it was his fiancée.

Chen Ruxue looked at Ailang who was about to leave, although she felt lost in her heart, she didn't show it, but her eyes were full of blessings and love.

"Goodbye, Ru Xue, remember what I said, I will definitely marry you and never leave, this is my promise from Zhang Fan's life." Zhang Fan looked at Ru Xue and said silently in his heart.

Chen Ruxue nodded silently as if she heard what Zhang Fan was saying.

"Zhang Xianggong, what are you looking at?" Wang Degui who was on the side noticed Zhang Fan's abnormality and asked.

"It's nothing, I just want to see more of this place where I have lived for nearly 20 years." Zhang Fan said casually.

"Yeah, it's hard to leave home." Wang Degui said empathetically, "However, I heard that there are many novel things in the capital. I heard General Liu Can say that even though Lord Wang had been to the capital that year, he said... ..."

Zhang Fan listened to Wang Degui talking on the side, but he was still thinking about that figure in his heart. Knowing that the city walls of Anhua County were gradually receding, Zhang Fan seemed to still be able to see Ru Xue watching him there.
