The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

A lively new year has passed, this may not be the busiest New Year among Zhang Fan's two generations, but it is his favorite one.The whole family was happy and happy.

Just after the third day of junior high school, father-in-law Chen Wenchuan and Ma County Magistrate were celebrating Yang, but the girl Zhaoxue stayed. According to her, she wanted to stay and take care of her because she was afraid that Zhang Fan would bully her sister. The whole family laughed loudly.

Now Zhang Fan is preparing for his trip to the north in a few days, and he has to go to the yamen every day to discuss countermeasures with those who decide to go with him. Although a decision has been made long ago, some details are still worthy of discussion.

The news that Zhang Fan was promoted to another rank soon spread to the government and the public. Those who can observe can vaguely see the mystery, but those who don't know will always chew their tongues.However, Zhang Fan had little contact with these courtiers now, so he was completely out of sight.

All the officials and officials in Beijing will always find some reason to "connect with each other" after the New Year's Eve. Now that Zhang Fan's family is in prosperity, he is naturally a celebrity at the banquets of various governments. Busy, can't find time.The gentlemen of various prefectures also have a way to ask their wives and concubines to invite Ru Xue to some gatherings with only female relatives, which will be convenient in the future.

Ru Xue is weak-tempered, as long as her own principles are not involved, and it is also for her husband, she agrees to them.only……

On this day, Ru Xue was invited to the home of Ge Shouli, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs. There were many female family members of various officials here. , the tension above the court can be shown without head-on, and these women have also contributed a lot.

Ru Xue has gotten used to it these days, and her current performance is not as jerky as it was at the beginning, and she is very elegant and comfortable.It's just that Ru Xue always feels that these ladies and ladies look at her a little differently today, a little... strange!Ru Xue doesn't care much, these women are usually very boring, gossip is their best pastime, but it seems that this time it's about herself.

"My sister is here, come and sit down!" Ge Shouli's wife, Wang Shi, warmly greeted Ru Xue.

"Thank you sister." Ru Xue was also very enthusiastic.

"Oh, you and I are sisters, why should we be so polite." Wang said with a smile.

The two sat together and chatted, and other female relatives also came to say hello.While chatting, Ru Xue felt that these women were looking at her more and more, so she whispered to Wang who was beside her and asked, "Sister Wang, but what's wrong with my sister?"

"What are you talking about, my sister is a fairy-like figure, how can there be anything wrong!" Wang said.

"Then why are the sisters looking at me like this? What happened?" Ru Xue asked.

After hearing what she said, Mrs. Wang's expression became a bit weird, and she whispered: "Sister... let's talk privately, how is my sister's sexual affairs?"

Ru Xue's face turned red immediately, and she said shyly, "Why does my sister ask these things?"

"Is your husband Mr. Zhang okay?" Wang asked.

"Sister, don't ask, it's embarrassing." Ru Xue was embarrassed.

"Sister, don't take offense. My sister is also doing it for your own good." Wang Shi said.

Ru Xue was a little shy when she heard this, but since Zhang Fan was involved, and she also felt that there were women here, she let go of her courage a little bit, but still whispered: "Mr. Xiang, everything is fine!"

After hearing what she said, Mrs. Wang became nervous instead, and said, "Sister, I'm doing it for your own good. You and your husband are newly married, so don't make him unhappy. It will be difficult for you. My sister has experienced this before." .This man, how many people don't like that fish and water, don't be too strict, if he wants to take a concubine, he will do it?"

Ru Xue was baffled by what he said, and she felt something wrong in her heart, and asked: "My husband loves me very much, if he wants to take a concubine, he will not hide it from me, sister, just tell me, what is it? "

When Ru Xue said this, the wind of gossip in Wang's heart suddenly burst into flames, and she said to Ru Xue: "I also heard from other sisters. .”

Of course Ru Xue knew what the so-called nourishment was. She was a little surprised and heartbroken. Although she really wanted to monopolize Zhang Fan, she would not stop him from taking a concubine. She was just sad that Zhang Fan would hide it from her.Gathering up the last glimmer of hope, Ru Xue asked, "Could my sister have heard it wrong, or spread rumors?"

"How could my sister make a mistake in this matter? I heard that the news was also told by the imperial doctor." Wang said with an impossible expression, "What's more, what is Mr. Zhang's status now? No one dares to make fun of him. I think Mr. Zhang must have taken a fancy to the Gu Nian family, but he was afraid that the girl's family background would be bad and confuse Lingfu."

After hearing her words, Ru Xue was slightly absent-minded.Then I was not in the mood to talk to these women, and went home early.

In the evening, when Zhang Fan came back, Ru Xue watched her husband hesitate to speak, but Zhang Fan said: "Today is really weird, all my colleagues laughed when they saw me, and no one told me why even I asked! "

After hearing Zhang Fan's words, Ru Xue thought in her heart: "Your husband doesn't know?" She must be determined to ask.

At night, in the room, Zhang Fan begged Ru Xue for sex, but Ru Xue refused.Zhang Fan thought his wife was tired these days, so he didn't force it.

Ru Xue looked at her husband and said, "Sir, what's on your mind?"

"What's on your mind as a husband, if there is anything, you will tell me, good Ruxue." Zhang Fan said.

Seeing that her husband didn't want to lie, Ru Xue boldly said, "But after Ru Xue's death, my husband didn't know me well, and my husband wanted to take a concubine? My husband just said yes, and Ru Xue will definitely not stop him, but I just hope that my husband will not be so indulgent, so as not to mess with her." Broken body."

"Ru Xue, what are you talking about?" Zhang Fan was very surprised when he heard her words.

"Master, you don't need to hide it anymore." At that moment, Ru Xue told Zhang Fan the news she had heard during the day.

After Zhang Fan heard her words, he couldn't laugh or cry, but he couldn't say that it was the emperor who asked him to find the medicinal material, so he said, "Ru Xue, don't you believe in Wei Fu? The medicinal material is just... just someone asked Wei Fu to help him." Go get it, that person is not easy to show up."

"Really?" Ru Xue couldn't believe it. After all, Zhang Fan had never lied, and his expression was obvious.

"Of course it's true." Zhang Fan said, "As for the fact that my husband wants to take a concubine, it's purely the gossip of those women. There is absolutely no such thing. Even if it is true, I will tell my Ru Xue the truth and decide Don't hide."

It was only then that Ru Xue believed him, and said coquettishly, "It means that Mr. Xiang still wants to take a concubine!"

Zhang Fan smiled embarrassedly, but did not deny it.

"The concubine should work harder, it seems that the husband has the strength to think about those things." The knot in his heart was untied, his courage became stronger, and he started to tease.

Now it's spring again.

One night passed, and early the next morning, Zhang Fan went to Jinyiwei Yamen again.The people who had just entered the yamen still looked at him ambiguously, Zhang Fan only explained the reason without revealing it, and greeted him with a smile.

After entering the inner room, Zhu Xizhong was there, and Zhang Fan went over to greet him: "My lord, you are here."

"Well, there are a lot of things at home, and I just settled them today." Zhu Xizhong said, "I heard that you are newly married, and you are going to take a concubine again?"

Zhang Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly explained the reason.

After hearing what he said, Zhu Xizhong said: "Who entrusted you to do it, I don't even know!"

Zhang Fan said: "The redemption of an official is impolite, but don't tell your lord."

"I know." Zhu Xizhong's heart was bright. In fact, he had already guessed it a long time ago, so he stopped entanglement and said, "There are still a few days until the Shangyuan, you can discuss it."

"The lower officials have discussed with several thousands of households for several days, and they have generally discussed everything, only a few details are left. When everything is finished, I will definitely present it to the adults and the emperor for review." Zhang Fan said.

"That's great, it's the first time you've led so many people, but don't be shy, just let it go." Zhu Xizhong said, "Just pay attention to me, don't make any mistakes."

"Your officer knows." Zhang Fan said.

There wasn't much to do today, Zhang Fan who came home early found Feng Bao sitting in the hall of his house, and hurried forward to greet him: "Eunuch Feng, what brought you here."

"Our family also obeyed His Majesty's oracle." Feng Bao said, "Your Majesty has an oral order."

Zhang Fan was about to kneel when he heard this, but Feng Bao said: "Master Zhang, please stand up, Your Majesty has said, after listening to this instruction, Master Zhang does not need to kneel."

Zhang Fan stood up suspiciously, saw Feng Bao beckoning to him mysteriously, and approached him.Feng Bao whispered in Zhang Fan's ear, "Your Majesty said: 'Your Majesty Zhang has been wronged, and I will reward you very much.'"

As soon as Zhang Fan heard it, he was in the Ming Dynasty, and his feelings made Long Qing a scapegoat.Now the whole court knows about this matter, and the imperial physician Long Qing is not active, he heard from Feng Bao that he offended Concubine Li Gui the day before yesterday and he didn't know where he was demoted.Zhang Fan didn't feel sympathetic at all, who told him to speak out.

"This time, His Majesty also rewarded you with a lot of things, and our family asked people to carry them there." Feng Bao said, pointing to a big box beside him.

Zhang Fan also understood very well. He opened the box, took out a jade lampstand and a few huge pearls which seemed to be the most precious among them, and stuffed them to Feng Bao. If you need anything, please come to our house."

"Then I'll trouble Eunuch." Zhang Fan said.

"Our family has something to do with Mr. Zhang." Feng Bao said.

"Elder-in-law, please tell me, I will do whatever I can," Zhang Fan said.

"Master Zhang will go north in a few days, and there will be some people in our factory guard who will need Mr. Zhang to take care of them." Feng Bao said.

"It's not difficult, it's just..." Zhang Fan was a little embarrassed because he was afraid that they would disrupt his plan.

Feng Bao saw Zhang Fan's difficulties, and said: "Master Zhang, don't be in a difficult situation. We also have our own arrangements, and we will never hinder Mr. Zhang's business. It's just to use this way."

"That's very good, father-in-law, don't worry, Zhang Fan will naturally handle this matter properly." Zhang Fan said.

"Master Zhang is serious, aren't we all doing things for the emperor!" Feng Bao said.

The two looked at each other and smiled at each other.

The Lantern Festival is coming soon, and the largest city in the world is naturally very lively, but common people, nobles, rich businessmen and beggars are all very happy.

Mrs. Zhao asked Zhaoxue and Xiangmei to go to the temple fair, but Zhang Fan and Ru Xue stayed at home.Zhang Fan is going north tomorrow, Ru Xue is reluctant and wants to see her husband more.

"Ru Xue, don't worry, you are worried, and I feel sorry for my husband." Zhang Fan said, "Besides, it's not like I won't come back."

"I'm also worried about my husband, I don't even know where I'm going, so how can I feel at ease." Ru Xue still didn't know where Zhang Fan was going.

"The imperial court didn't say anything, so I have to follow the instructions." Zhang Fan said, "Ru Xue can rest assured, I will write letters from time to time to keep you safe."

"Then Xianggong has to promise not to forget, not to exceed three days." Ru Xue said coquettishly.

"I will never forget, I promise to Ru Xue for my husband that I will send a letter to Ru Xue every two days." Zhang Fan said.

Ru Xue was very happy to hear that, and Zhang Fan said again: "Ru Xue, I don't know when I will be able to return from this trip. Tonight, as a husband, I must remember every place of Ru Xue well."

"Haven't Mr. Xiang remembered?" Ru Xuejiao said with a smile.

"Deepen the image!" Zhang Fan said with a teasing smile.

The room is full of spring again.
