It was a lively New Year, this may not be the most lively New Year in Zhang Fan's two lives, but it was his favorite one. The family was happy and happy.

Just after the third year of junior high school, Chen Wenchuan, the father-in-law, and Ma Xianling were in Qingyang, but Zhaoxue, the girl, stayed, according to herself, she was afraid that Zhang Fan would bully her sister, so she wanted to stay and take care of it, and the family laughed.

Now Zhang Fan is preparing for a trip to the north in a few days, and he has to go to the yamen every day to discuss countermeasures with the people who decided to go with him.

The news that Zhang Fan had been promoted to another grade also quickly spread to the government and the opposition, and those who could observe could vaguely see the mystery in it, but those who didn't know would always chew their tongues. However, Zhang Fan has little contact with these courtiers now, but he is out of sight.

The various eunuchs in Beijing will always find some reason to "contact feelings" after the New Year, Zhang Fan is now in the holy family, and he is naturally a celebrity at the banquet in various mansions, but because of his identity as a fellow of the brocade clothes and guards, and now he is quite busy, he can't spare time. The lords of various provinces also have a way to ask their wives and concubines to invite Ru Xue to participate in some gatherings with only female dependents, so that it will be convenient to act in the future.

Ru Xue is weak, as long as she doesn't involve her own principles, and this is also for her husband, she agreed to them. It's just that......

On this day, Ru Xue was invited to the home of Hubu Shangshu Ge Shouli, many female dependents of various officials are here, no matter how their lords disagree with each other in the court, these women are very easy to get along, and even in some aspects, the sabre-rattling above the court can not be hard-hitting, and these women also contribute a lot.

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

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

"Sister Xie." Ru Xue is also very enthusiastic.

"Alas, you and I are sisters, why do you need to be so polite." Wang said with a smile.

The two sat together and chatted, and the other ladies also came over to say hello. Chatting, Ru Xue felt that these women were looking at her more and more, and whispered to the Wang family beside her and asked, "Sister Wang, but what's wrong with my sister?" ”

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

"Then why did the sisters look at the concubine so much, and what happened?" Ru Xue asked.

Wang listened to her words, his expression was also a little strange, and he whispered: "Sister...... Let's talk about the two sisters in a private room, how is my sister's sex? ”

Ru Xue's face suddenly turned red, and she said a little shyly: "Why does my sister ask this." ”

"There's nothing wrong with Master Lingfu Zhang, right?" Wang asked.

"Sister, don't ask, I'm ashamed." Ru Xue was embarrassed.

"Don't be surprised sister, sister is also for your good." Wang said.

Although Ru Xue was still a little shy when she heard this, it involved Zhang Fan, and she felt that there were all women here, so she let go of her courage a little, but she still whispered: "Xianggong, everything is fine!" ”

Wang Shi listened to her words, but became nervous, and said: "Sister, I am for your own good, you and Lingfu are newly married, don't make him unhappy, so it will be difficult for you to do it, my sister has experienced this." This man, how many people don't like the joy of fish and water, don't be too strict, if he wants to take a concubine, from him? ”

Ru Xue was inexplicable by his words, and felt inappropriate in her heart, and asked: "Xianggong loves me very much, if Xianggong wants to take a concubine, he will not hide it from me, sister, just say it, what is the matter?" ”

As soon as Ru Xue said this, the gossip in Wang's heart suddenly became popular, and she said to Ru Xue: "I also heard from other sisters, I heard that a few years ago, Master Zhang went to the Tai Hospital to ask about the nourishing medicinal materials. ”

Of course, Ru Xue knew what the so-called nourishment was, she was a little surprised, and a little heartache, although she 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. Summoning the last glimmer of hope, Ru Xue asked, "Will my sister hear it wrong, or will it be a lie?" ”

"How could my sister make a mistake in this matter, I heard that the news was also said by the imperial doctor." Wang Shi had an impossible expression and said, "What's more, what is Lord Zhang's identity now, and where dare anyone make jokes about him." I think it must be Master Zhang who has taken a fancy to that Gu Nian, but I'm afraid that the woman has a bad background and confuses Lingfu. ”

Ru Xue listened to her words and was slightly distracted. Then I was in no mood to talk to these women, so I went home early.

In the evening, Zhang Fan came back, Ru Xue looked at her husband and stopped talking, but Zhang Fan said: "It's really a strange thing today, my colleagues all laughed when they saw me, and no one told me why when I asked!" ”

Ru Xue listened to Zhang Fan's words, and thought in her heart: "Xianggong, he doesn't know?" "Be determined to ask.

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

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

"Where is there anything on my husband's mind, if there is anything, I will definitely tell my good Ruxue." Zhang Fan said.

Seeing that her husband didn't want to lie, Ru Xue boldly said: "But after Ru Xue's death, the husband was not considerate, and the husband wanted to take a concubine?" Xianggong only said that Ru Xue would not stop him, but hoped that Xianggong would not be so indulgent, so as not to damage his body. ”

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

"Xianggong doesn't have to hide it anymore." At that moment, Ru Xue told Zhang Fan the news that she heard during the day.

After listening to her words, Zhang Fan couldn't cry or laugh, but he couldn't say that the emperor asked him to find the medicinal materials, so he had to say: "Ru Xue, don't you believe in being a husband?" That's just ...... It's just that someone asked her husband to help him get it, and that person is not easy to show up. ”

"Really?" Ru Xue was a little unconvinced, after all, Zhang Fan hadn't lied much, and his expression was obvious.

"Nature is true." Zhang Fan said, "As for wanting to take a concubine for her husband, it is purely the rumors of those women, and there is absolutely no such thing." Even if it's true, I will tell my Ru Xue the truth and never hide it. ”

Ru Xue believed him at this time, and said a little coquettishly: "That is to say, the princess is still a concubine!" ”

Zhang Fan smiled embarrassedly, but did not deny it.

"Then the concubine will work harder, and she will have the strength to think about those things." The knot in my heart was untied, and my courage was strengthened, and I laughed.

Now it is another burst of spring.

The night passed, and early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Fan went to the Jinyi Wei Yamen again. The people who had just entered the yamen were still looking at themselves ambiguously, but Zhang Fan only explained the reason and did not break it, and greeted him with a smile.

Entering the inner room, Zhu Xizhong was there, and Zhang Fan went over to salute: "My lord, you are here." ”

"Well, there are a lot of things at home, so I will finish it today." Zhu Xizhong said, "I heard that you are newly married and are going to take a concubine again?" ”

Zhang Fan couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly said the reason.

Zhu Xizhong listened to his words and said, "I can't even know who entrusted you to do it!" ”

Zhang Fan said: "The ransom official is rude, but you can't tell the adult. ”

"I see." Zhu Xizhong's heart was bright, in fact, he had already guessed it, and he didn't dwell on it anymore, and said, "Even if you go to the Yuan in a few days, you can discuss it." ”

"Xia Guan has discussed with several thousand households for several days, and they have generally been discussed, and only some details remain. When everything is done, it will definitely be presented to the Lord and the Emperor. Zhang Fan said.

"That's great, it's the first time you've led so many people, but don't hold back and let it go." Zhu Xizhong said, "Even if you have to pay attention to me, don't make any mistakes." ”

"Xia Guan knows." Zhang Fan said.

There wasn't much to do today, Zhang Fan, who went home early, found Feng Bao sitting in his house, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet: "Father-in-law Feng, what kind of wind blew you here." ”

"Our family is also under His Majesty's holy decree." Feng Bao said, "Your Majesty has a message passed down. ”

Zhang Fan was about to kneel when he heard this, Feng Bao said: "Lord Zhang, please get up, Your Majesty said, listen to this message, Lord Zhang doesn't have to kneel." ”

Zhang Fan stood up with some confusion, saw Feng Bao beckoning to him mysteriously, and leaned over. Feng Bao whispered in Zhang Fan's ear: "Your Majesty said: 'Lord Zhang has been wronged, and I will definitely have a heavy reward. ’”

Zhang Fan was in the Ming Dynasty as soon as he heard it, and he felt that he had carried a black pot for Longqing. Now that this matter is known to the whole dynasty, the imperial doctor Longqing is not moving, and he heard Feng Bao say that he angered Li Guifei the day before yesterday and didn't know where he was deposed. Zhang Fan didn't sympathize at all, who told him to have a breathy mouth.

"Your Majesty also rewarded you with a lot of things this time, and our family asked someone to carry them there." Feng Bao pointed to a large box on the side and said.

Zhang Fan was also very understanding, opened the box, took out the jade carved lampstand and a few huge pearls that seemed to be the most valuable, and stuffed them to Feng Bao, Feng Bao did not refuse, put them away, and said: "Lord Zhang is polite, if there is anything in the future, please come to our house." ”

"Then it's troublesome for my father-in-law." Zhang Fan said.

"We still have something to do here." Feng Bao said.

"Father-in-law, please say, do what you can, do what you can." Zhang Fan said.

"Mr. Zhang will go north soon, and there will be some people in our factory who want Mr. Zhang to take care of him." Feng Bao said.

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

Feng Bao saw Zhang Fan's difficulties and said, "Lord Zhang doesn't have to be embarrassed, we also have our own arrangements, and we will never hinder Lord Zhang's business." It's just a matter of borrowing this way. ”

"This is very good, father-in-law, please rest assured, Zhang Fan will naturally handle this matter with his father-in-law." Zhang Fan said.

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

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

The Shangyuan Festival is coming soon, and the largest city in the world is naturally very lively, but the common nobles, rich merchants and beggars are very happy.

Zhao asked Zhaoxue and Xiangmei to accompany them 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 a few more times.

"Ru Xue, don't worry, your worry is also distressing for your husband." Zhang Fan said, "Besides, it's not that I won't come back." ”

"The concubine is also worried about the husband, and she doesn't even know where to go, so how can the concubine rest assured." Ru Xue still didn't know where Zhang Fan was going.

"The court didn't say anything, so the husband had to listen to the instructions." Zhang Fan said, "Ru Xue rest assured, her husband will write letters from time to time to ensure her safety." ”

"Then the prime minister has to promise, don't forget, it must not exceed three days." Ru Xue said coquettishly.

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

Ru Xue was very happy to hear this, and Zhang Fan said again: "Ru Xue, I don't know when I can go back this time, I have to remember every place in Ru Xue for my husband tonight." ”

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

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

The room was in the mood of spring again.
