The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"Ahem..." Zhang Fan suddenly coughed violently.

"What's the matter, Mr.?" Seeing this, Zhaoxue, who was behind him, asked with great concern, and she kept beating Zhang Fan's back, trying to help him calm down. "Did my concubine say something strange?" ,"

While Zhang Fan was coughing violently, he couldn't stop at all; on the other hand, not to mention the awkwardness in his heart, he thought it was not all because of you, but he was choking on his own saliva now. , I couldn't recover and blame Zhaoxue for something.

After a long time, after Zhaoxue brought Zhang Fan the second cup of tea, Zhang Fan stopped his violent coughing reaction, and it was when Zhang Fan, who was out of breath, was about to reprimand Zhaoxue, but greeted him. Seeing her pitiful eyes that were still revealing mist, Zhang Fan's anger couldn't find its direction at all, and he could only bury it in his heart. How good it is.

"Xianggong," Zhaoxue, still looking innocent and innocent, looked at Zhang Fan and asked, "Xianggong, what's the matter? Did the concubine say something wrong? I don't know what I said that made Xianggong so unhappy, but I still have to apologize to Xianggong, "

Zhaoxue's words made Zhang Fan even more speechless, but it didn't work if Zhang Fan stopped mentioning this matter. After a long time, Zhang Fan said slowly: "You really don't know What did you say just now?"

"No, I know what I said just now," Zhaoxue said with a look of incomprehension, "It's just that I really don't understand, did those words really make Xianggong so uncomfortable?"

"..." Regarding this, Zhang Fan had no choice but to feel helpless again, "What do you mean I fell in love with a widow? This... this is something that has no shadow at all,"

"Then..." But Zhaoxue still didn't understand the reason for Zhang Fan's violent reaction, and said with a look of course, "If it wasn't for Mr. Xianggong's thoughts, how could he bring this matter up to my concubine? "

Once again, Zhaoxue's words left Zhang Fan speechless.

But speaking, today is really weird enough. Zhang Fan came here, although he didn't intend to lose his temper, but he also came to question Zhaoxue. Now, the situation seems to have changed, and it seems that Zhaoxue started to question him. up.

Although Zhang Fan was not confused by the situation in front of him, and he was very clear in his heart that the current situation is not correct, but to be honest, the words Zhaoxue asked him really made him unable to answer.

"But it's okay," Zhaoxue said again suddenly.

Zhang Fan, who was thinking about the weird thoughts in his heart, didn't notice what Zhaoxue's words meant at all, and asked involuntarily, "It doesn't matter what?"

"The meaning of the concubine is..." Zhaoxue said immediately, but there was still some embarrassment on her face. What, but I really will not be happy in my heart, "

Hearing what she said, Zhang Fan not only didn't find it weird, but became very interested. Thinking about it, what Zhaoxue said was also funny. Since she didn't know what to say, then what is she talking about now.

"But..." Zhaoxue didn't seem to find the contradiction in what she said at all, and continued to speak, "However, if the other party is a widow, as long as she is a woman from a good family with good conduct, I will definitely not object to it. , even other people wouldn’t say anything,”

Hearing Zhaoxue mention this matter again, Zhang Fan not only did not show embarrassment, but became excited. What is he here for today? Why did he mention the "widow" issue? All of these are due to Zhang Fan wanting to inquire about some things from Zhaoxue, but now, the topic has been thrown out. Although there was a little embarrassment at the beginning, Zhaoxue has automatically taken the bait, And judging from the appearance, Zhaoxue didn't see Zhang Fan's intention at all.

Since Zhaoxue brought the topic up to this issue, Zhang Fan would never avoid talking about it, even though it was a bit embarrassing: "What does this mean? I mean, what most people think is for those who have already been married Girls, they don't have such thoughts, of course, maybe they have the idea of ​​kissing Fangze, but they don't have the idea of ​​taking the other party into the house, right?"

"Xianggong," Zhaoxue said coquettishly when she heard Zhang Fan's words, "Really, I didn't realize it before I became a concubine, why is Xianggong just like other disciples, thinking so... so..." Zhaoxue still didn't say that word for a long time, but even if she didn't say it, Zhang Fan already understood what she meant. The word "dirty" is definitely the best way to express it.

But for Zhaoxue's reaction like this, Zhang Fan was already prepared in his heart. After all, this kind of topic is probably the same for any woman.

"But..." Zhaoxue suddenly changed her appearance, looked at Zhang Fan mysteriously and worriedly, and whispered, "I don't think it's true that my husband is away... ah,"

Before Zhaoxue finished speaking, Zhang Fan pulled her body over and sat in Zhang Fan's words, her buttocks were attacked by Zhang Fan's Wuzhi Mountain, she could not help but let out a soft cry, but It was surprise and pain. Speaking of which, Zhang Fan was not willing to exert himself.

"Zhaoxue is not obedient." Facing Zhaoxue's innocent eyes, Zhang Fan teased and said, "How could your husband have such thoughts? Besides, don't tell me you don't trust me either."

"This..." Zhaoxue seemed a little hard to say, but after hesitating for a long time, she still said, "Of course I don't have that kind of thought for my husband, but after all, my husband is also a man. Although there are some disagreements between sister Yingyue, she is right in saying a lot, "

"Oh," Zhang Fan became more interested when Zhaoxue mentioned Yingyue, and couldn't help asking, "What did Yingyue say?"

"She said that men can't believe it," Zhaoxue said with a confused expression on her face, "It's just that although I agree with what I said, I still can't figure it out. What if It’s okay for others, but for Xianggong, there is really no other way for me to be a concubine.”

"Are you worried about this matter?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but said, "Then Mr. Xiang will tell you a solution."

"What is it?" Zhaoxue couldn't help asking when Zhang Fan said there was a solution.

"Actually, the method is very simple," Zhang Fan said with an inscrutable look, "In your life from now on, besides your father, you will only have my husband and I. Of course, maybe in the future, you will have to You have more sons, but these men are all men you should fully trust,"

Hearing Zhang Fan mention the word "son", Zhaoxue blushed immediately, buried her face on Zhang Fan's shoulder, and didn't get up for a long time.

Although the atmosphere is now much better than before, Zhang Fan does not intend to let this atmosphere destroy his plan. He still has many things that he has not asked Zhaoxue about, and he does not intend to give up. Under the background of this delicate atmosphere, Zhang Fan also felt that it was better for him to ask questions.

Moreover, just now Zhaoxue brought up the topic by herself, so it is easier for Zhang Fan to ask her now.

"By the way," Zhang Fan said, "you said just now that it's fine if it's any other woman, but only a widow won't object. What exactly does this mean, but don't get me wrong, I don't have that kind of thought in my heart. Just curious." Zhang Fan planned to ask first to see what Zhaoxue thought of "widows". Of course, he didn't forget to add a sentence to eliminate Zhaoxue's possible curiosity.

"Because they are pitiful," Zhaoxue said with a natural look, "It's not about money, some of them may have some money, it's just that these women who have lost their husbands are not only alone, but also start to do things. Be especially careful, and you must not make a wrong step, otherwise, the saliva of the neighbors and the market will drown her. Also, although I am disrespectful to the court, I still have to say , the imperial court awarded many "chastity memorial archways" to those widows who have been widowed for many years. It seems like a great honor, but in fact, who can understand the misery in the hearts of those women.

"I didn't understand these things before, but recently, I have understood a lot. To be honest, listening to those things, my body and mind are quite sad."

Hearing Zhaoxue's words, Zhang Fan also had some thoughts in his mind. Although he had never really seen a woman whose husband died had such a difficult life, he could still think of some.

But for Zhang Fan, this kind of topic always makes him very embarrassed. From a human point of view, he naturally sympathizes with those women, but Zhang Fan is a man after all, even if he disagrees with the pedantic and dull, and The "three obediences and four virtues" viewpoint that has killed countless women, but from a man's point of view, even if he would not object, he would not agree.

However, this kind of entanglement did not exist in Zhang Fan's heart for too long, and he put it aside. He has other things to do now, and what Zhaoxue said just now has opened up some topics for him.

"You just said that you heard something recently," Zhang Fan looked at Zhaoxue and asked, "What did you hear recently and where did you hear it?"
