The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

To be honest, Zhang Fan really doesn't know how to describe Zhaoxue. If it is for future generations, there is a word that can describe her very well. That's right, it is the word "natural", and even, In Zhang Fan's opinion, this description for those nerds who only exist in "Two-dimensional" and unreal characters seems to be insufficient for Zhaoxue. To say "natural" In other words, Zhaoxue is even worse, but this is also the reason why Zhang Fan likes her. After all, it can be said that Zhaoxue can be said to be very difficult to find, no matter now or in the future.

However, it is obvious that Zhaoxue's excessive simplicity is nothing if it is only expressed between her and Zhang Fan, or with her family. What will bring her trouble is not because she doesn't have her own ideas, but Zhaoxue is too easy to trust people, as long as there is a slightly reasonable reason, Zhaoxue is the kind of person who is willing to believe.

Just like now, although Zhang Fan still doesn't know what method Yingyue used, what exactly did she say to Zhaoxue that made her so firm in her belief that no matter what method she asked her, she couldn't help it. If you can keep your mouth shut, you must know that if Zhang Fan hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed this kind of thing if he just said it.

"I also guessed that's the case," so now, Zhang Fan was not surprised by Yingyue's confession.

"It's not my husband, it's not like this," Zhaoxue said suddenly, "This matter has nothing to do with Yingyue, it's all... It's all my concubine's idea, I don't want to tell my husband, besides, what Yingyue said just now is Just to help me, in fact, this is because I don’t want to tell my husband, "Maybe it’s because Yingyue called her "sister" just now, which made Zhaoxue suddenly want to surround Yingyue at this moment Moreover, it seems that because of this emergency, she also became wiser at this moment. She suddenly thought that Zhang Fan seemed to have only asked herself, but not Yingyue. , maybe still have some confidence to take the matter to herself, after all, Yingyue is just a person, she still has her sister Ruxue anyway.

She had already thought about it, if, if Zhang Fan really wanted to punish her, she would go to Ru Xue for help.

After hearing Zhaoxue's words, Zhang Fan not only did not show any troubled look on his face, but instead laughed. To be honest, he had considered this situation, but Zhaoxue would have such a big reaction. It was indeed a little bit beyond his expectation.

"Oh, so this matter is your idea," Zhang Fan smiled, looked at Zhaoxue and said, Yingyue at the side seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Fan waving.

"Yes... yes, it was my idea," obviously, even if she said it out, Zhaoxue still lacked confidence in the face of Zhang Fan's inquiry, and the volume of the second half of the sentence increased, especially It reflected the uneasiness in her heart.

"This is really new," Zhang Fan said, still smiling, "It seems that my Zhaoxue has finally become smarter, this time I have to listen carefully, let's talk."

"Say...what are you talking about?" Although Zhaoxue forced herself to be calm, she still trembled a little when she spoke.

"Didn't you just say that it was your own idea not to tell me?" Zhang Fan said, "Since you have said so, then let me hear it, why didn't you tell me?"

"This... this..." Now, Zhaoxue is completely at a loss, and it seems that her cleverness can only go so far.

"Sister, don't say any more." Yingyue on the side really didn't want to see Zhaoxue so sleepy, so she had to say, "My sister knows that this is for the sake of my sister, but now, I don't have to be rude to my husband anymore. Doing it will only make things more and more messy. Xianggong, this matter is all my concubine's idea. It has nothing to do with my sister. It is my concubine who told my sister not to tell my husband. Ask the concubine, the concubine will not hide anything until now."

"Well, I knew this was the case a long time ago," Zhang Fan said with a sigh, "To be honest, I came here today to find you to solve this problem, but I don't mean to blame you at all, nor I am angry that you did that before, which troubled me for a long time, and now I know what happened, which is a good thing, so I have no reason to blame you, now, in my heart If you can't figure out just one thing, there's nothing you can't say about it.

"At first, I thought that you guys did something bad, so I can't say it. If that's the case, although I would get angry, I can understand that kind of behavior, but when I understand what it is , I just can't figure it out, this is not a bad thing to say, why can't it be said to outsiders.

"At home, I don't think it's mother, Ruxue or Ling'er who would object to this kind of thing. You all know how mother usually does it. If mother knew about this, not only would she not I don't blame you, but I still help you. The same is true for Ru Xue and Ling'er, and I don't think I am that kind of stingy person.

"But not only did you not tell me the matter, you even hid it from your family. I don't know, but if I don't tell my family members, I can think of it. I'm afraid it's just to guard against me. After all, no matter whether it's the mother, Ru Xue or Ling'er in the family, as long as someone among them knows, they are likely to tell me.

"Now, Yue'er, I just want to ask you, what is it that makes you so wary of me, and what things you can't say to me,"

Hearing Zhang Fan's words, Zhaoxue on the side was not surprised, she was not stupid, she naturally understood what Zhang Fan said. It seems to be the same, when Yingyue asked her to keep this secret from her family, she just found another reason, and Yingyue never told her that she did this mainly to keep Zhang Fan safe. Well, after Zhang Fan said these words, she thought about it, and it seemed that this was really the case.

The discovery of this situation made her even more curious, and the previous expression of not knowing what to do to escape the trouble disappeared, and then changed into a curious look, and her eyes involuntarily looked to the side of Yingyue.

After Yingyue heard Zhang Fan's words, she sighed again and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she looked at Zhaoxue at the side, and finally closed her mouth again without saying anything. .

Zhang Fan could clearly see that although he kept looking at Yingyue, he said to Zhaoxue who was beside him, "Zhaoxue, you go out for a while, I have something to say to Yingyue."

"Oh," it seemed a little reconciled, but now, of course, Zhaoxue would not disobey Zhang Fan's words, stood up slowly, and took a long time to walk out, but Zhang Fan didn't care, Did not mean to urge.

After the door was closed again, Zhang Fan picked up the teacup on the table and poured himself a cup, and took a sip. The tea here is really good, but I don’t know why, it has a lot of floral fragrance. Maybe something was put there specifically to cater to women's tastes.

"My husband..." This time, seeing that there was no one else, Yingyue took the initiative to speak, but her voice was not loud, "I have a reason for doing this, it's not that I don't believe in my husband, it's just that I'm afraid in my heart, "

"Scared." At this moment, Zhang Fan was completely confused. "What is there to be afraid of? Are you still worried that I will harm those orphans?"

"No, I don't mean that," Yingyue said quickly, "I understand that if my husband understands this matter, I will definitely help. Those children are poor people. If they have the help of my husband, they will live in the future." It will be even better, but the concubine is worried... worried that when they grow up..."

"What does this mean?" Zhang Fan still couldn't understand what Yingyue was worried about. "What will happen to them when they grow up?"

"My lord's history up to my concubine's origin," Yingyue said, "and my lord has told my concubine before that even though the imperial court has not done so among the people, there are secretly places for orphans to be raised, but that kind of place grows up. My child, what will I do in the future, I think the husband-in-law knows much better than the concubine."

"So that's how it is." Now, Zhang Fan completely understood what Yingyue was worried about.

Just like what Yingyue said, the imperial court publicly does not have such a welfare place to raise orphans, but privately, there are. In fact, Jinyiwei also has them, but since Zhang Fan took over, the situation is worse than before It's much better. In the past, because of the shortage of people, there were cases where they went out to snatch children and pretended to be orphans.

Why do we need these orphans? It's very simple. Just like the movies and TV dramas of later generations, cultivating all kinds of needed talents from an early age. Of course, it's not as mysterious as in the novels.

However, even so, after these children come out in the future, they will all be doing some high-risk jobs.

The most distinctive features are those women, there are quite a few Jin Yiwei, who are used to monitor those ministers, and their most useful talent is to be able to rape.

Yingyue definitely didn't want those children to embark on such a path in the future, so she kept this matter from him.

After understanding the situation, Zhang Fan was suddenly at a loss. For a while, he didn't know how to tell Yingyue about this matter.
