Zhang Fan followed his mother to the hall, and saw that the two sisters seemed to be talking in a low voice, and a smile appeared on their faces. Seeing Zhang Fan's mother and son coming, they hurriedly sat up straight.

"Two girls, there is nothing to entertain at home, I hope you will forgive me." Zhao said, putting the tea on the table. The sisters of the Cheng family wanted to help, but the Zhao family was willing to give up.

"Auntie, don't say that, it's a family, so you can see the outside." The cheerful Chen Zhaoxue said immediately.

"Huh." Zhao smiled and said to Zhang Fan, "Don't hurry up and introduce the two girls to my mother." ”

"Yes, mother." When Zhang Fan heard his mother's words, he immediately put aside the messy things in his mind and said, "Mother, these two are the daughters of Master Chen Wenchuan of the Dingbian Patrol Division, and this is my sister Chen Ruxue." Zhang Fan first introduced his sister in pink clothes to his mother.

"Hello aunt." Chen Ruxue replied slightly, such a soft-spoken and delicate face made Zhang Fan lose his mind again.

"Okay." Zhao was also very happy.

His mother's voice brought Zhang Fan back to his senses, and he was about to continue to introduce Chen Zhaoxue to his mother: "This is ......"

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhaoxue interrupted Zhang Fan's words, ran to Zhao's side, took her hand and said, "Hello aunt, my name is Chen Zhaoxue, although I was born at the same time as my sister, I was a little late, so I am naturally my sister." ”

"Uh, good ......" Zhao was a little surprised by Chen Zhaoxue's writing, but then, he began to like this lively and lovely girl again.

"Mother, I told you just now, ...... tonight," Zhang Fan asked his mother.

"That's nature, so go along." Zhao said.

"It's just that Ma County Ling wants to invite his mother to go with him." Zhang Fan was afraid that his mother would be lonely, and said.

"I'm a woman, how can I go." Zhao refused without even thinking about it, "You can go by yourself, just remember to come back early." ”

As she spoke, the three women began to chat. Chen Ruxue is better, that Chen Zhaoxue is very extroverted, and after a while, like the Zhao family has become a mother and daughter who talk about everything, Zhang Fan didn't even have the slightest room to interject, thinking in his heart; "It turns out that whether it was five hundred years ago or five hundred years later, the power of women to get together is the same!"

"Mother, you guys are chatting here, I have something to do when I go back to the study." Zhang Fan gradually felt a little bored, and complained to his mother and wanted to leave.

Zhao and Chen Zhaoxue were chatting about Xingtou is Xingtou, where did they have time to pay attention to him, waved his hand and let him leave by himself, which made Zhang Fan very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Chen Ruxue still nodded to Zhang Fan very gently and apologized, so that Zhang Fan was like a spring breeze, and the depression in his heart was swept away.

Zhang Fan came to the study bored, sat on the chair, thinking about the fact that he met the two sisters that day, and thinking of today's reunion, his heart was also full of joy. It's not that Zhang Fan fell in love with the two sisters or had other ideas. These two sisters are considered to be people who are closer to them except for their mothers since Zhang Fan was reborn and returned to the Ming Dynasty, although they have not been together for a long time, they make Zhang Fan feel warm.

Unconsciously, Zhang Fan sat in the study for more than an hour, and the sisters seemed to have forgotten the purpose of going out at the beginning, and were still chatting enthusiastically. Just when Zhang Fan was about to feel that he couldn't sit still, it was finally over.

"Fan'er, come out quickly, it's not good to let the girls wait." Zhao said to Zhang Fan.

"Yes, mother, I'll come now." Zhang Fan is happy that he can finally get rid of this boring time.

"We talked to my aunt for a long time, and my aunt finally agreed to go to my uncle's place for dinner in the evening." Chen Zhaoxue said happily.

"That's great." Zhang Fan is sincerely happy, since his father died, his mother has been working hard for himself without leaving the door, so that his mother can have a chance to relax, how can Zhang Fan not be happy.

"Aren't you going shopping?" Zhao said, "Hurry up, it's getting dark early, don't look at it now, it's still bright, it won't be dark soon." ”

"Ah, it's all about time." Chen Zhaoxue looked at the sky and said, "Brother Zhang, let's go quickly." ”

Before the two sisters went out, they said goodbye to the Zhao family: "Auntie, let's go first, don't forget it at night." ”

"Don't worry, I'll go." Zhao said, and said to Zhang Fan, "Fan'er, take care of the two girls." ”

"Don't worry, I'll remember." After Zhang Fan finished speaking, he went out with the Chen sisters under the gaze of his mother.

Anhua County is small, and it can't be compared with the prosperity of Yangzhou Mansion since childhood. However, the sisters walked on the street and seemed very interested, maybe it was the first time to celebrate the New Year outside, or maybe it was the difference in people and things here that made the sisters very interested. The street where the three of them walked was full of stalls selling small items, and the sisters were very curious to check them one by one, especially Chen Zhaoxue, who had to pick up anything that interested him and play with it, but he didn't buy anything.

Zhang Fan also knew that this was the curiosity of the girl, and he thought that it was so terrible to accompany the girl on the street, and countless people regarded it as a flood beast. How did he know that he had only escaped because he was in an era when there were no department stores?

Every time she saw something she was interested in, Chen Zhaoxue took her sister's hand and stepped forward to watch. Although Chen Ruxue was not interested in the things in front of her, she was also very happy. Zhang Fan was very happy when he saw the expressions of the two sisters. Chen Zhaoxue is the kind of personality that is naturally outgoing, and this expression of joy is very natural to her. It was her sister Chen Ruxue, although she was laughing, it made Zhang Fan feel a kind of loneliness and loneliness. And he felt that this kind of happy feeling had not yet been felt in the county government, and it seemed that he had only come out of his own home. Zhang Fan couldn't help but think in his heart: "What did Mother and their sisters say? ”

Time passed quickly before I knew it, and the sky gradually got dark. Street vendors began to close their stalls, and there were fewer and fewer passers-by. Zhang Fan saw that it was almost time, and said to the sisters: "Two sisters, the time is not early, Ling Zun and Ma Xian Ling must be waiting for us." ”

"That's right, Zhaoxue, it's time to go back." Chen Ruxue seemed to have walked so many roads, although she was in good spirits, she was also a little tired, and said to her sister.

"Okay." Chen Zhaoxue looked at the fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, and said a little unwillingly, it seems that he hasn't had enough fun. Although the two sisters did not buy anything, they seemed very satisfied.

The three of them went home, and when they came to the living room of Ma Xianling's house, Zhao was chatting with Ma Xianling and Chen Wenchuan.

"You're back." Chen Wenchuan saw a few people coming in, and said with a smile, "Virtuous nephew, my second daughter didn't cause you any trouble, right?" ”

"Daddy!" Chen Zhaoxue was coquettish, causing everyone to laugh.

Dinner began at Ma Xianling's house, Ma Xianling's wife died early, he had no children, and he was not married. The old man was so happy that so many people came to see him this year, and he especially instructed the cook at home to cook a lot of dishes. It was rare to come to someone, and Ma Xianling didn't care about any rules, so that everyone ate at the same table.

At the table, Zhao and Chen Ruxue were relatively silent, without much speech, just watching Zhang Fan and the other two men drinking and talking, but Chen Zhaoxue interjected from time to time, Chen Wenchuan blamed, but also caused everyone to laugh. It's just that Zhang Fan found that the Chen sisters seemed to like their mother very much, and from time to time, the three of them would whisper a few words, and then they all smiled.

The hour had come to the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the meal was almost finished, and the Zhao family was sleepy because of the lack of alcohol, so Ma Xian sent two officials to send her home. The two Chen sisters also left the table early.

Zhang Fan was still chatting with Ma Xianling, probably because he drank too much, and he was a little open-mouthed, plus Ma Xianling always talked about some political matters, Zhang Fan unconsciously said what he saw and heard in his mind about five hundred years later. Hearing this, Ma County surprised the two of them, but if they think about it carefully, there is some truth, and they are exaggerated and clever.

Maybe he drank too much wine, Zhang Fan wanted to be relieved, confessed his guilt, went out of the hall, and under the leadership of the servant, walked through the courtyard and went to the thatched house. There he sent away the servant who led the way, and on his way back, he was blown by the cold wind, and his drunken head suddenly sobered up. After a quick look, I realized that I had taken the wrong path. Although Ma Xianling's home is not big, there are only a few roads in that area, but Zhang Fan is the one who took the wrong one.

Shaking his head, Zhang Fan was about to retreat, but found that there was a person sitting on the stone bench not far away, and when he walked in, he saw that this jade man in pink clothes and with calm eyebrows was not Chen Ruxue. I saw her sitting there, holding her delicate chin with both hands, looking up at the starry sky, not knowing what she was thinking. Although the surroundings are gray, the lights in the distant house are reflected from afar, which makes this picture even more hazy, and Zhang Fan is distracted for a while.

Zhang Fan looked at the girl in front of him, although in ancient times, a girl in her twenty-eighth year old could already get married. But in Zhang Fan's eyes, Chen Ruxue in front of her is still an underage girl, if she is as lively as her sister Chen Zhaoxue, Zhang Fan feels normal. It's just that now she doesn't know what she is thinking, but the expression on her face reveals a faint sadness in her calmness, which makes Zhang Fan's heart ache, and she can't wait to take the girl in front of her into her arms and take good care of her.

"Brother Zhang?" Chen Ruxue first spotted Zhang Fan, who was looking at her, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Why are you here?" ”

"Ru Xue, I came out to blow the cold wind, but I took the wrong way and came here." Zhang Fan walked up to her and said, "I don't know that Ru Xue is here, disturbing you." ”

"Where is Brother Zhang?" Chen Ruxue hurriedly said, "Hurry up and sit down and talk." ”

Zhang Fan sat down, looked at the woman in front of him, and said, "Ru Xue, why are you sitting here alone on this cold day, beware of freezing your body." ”

"It's bothering Big Brother." Chen Ruxue said, "I'm just ...... Just thought of the mother. Maybe he felt that Zhang Fan was not an outsider, and he really wanted to have someone to talk to, so he talked to Zhang Fan about the reason.

Zhang Fan looked at Chen Ruxue and didn't speak, he knew that Chen Ruxue might have remembered something sad, and it was inconvenient for him to ask, so he just waited quietly.

"My mother's health is not good, since giving birth to me and Zhaoxue, I have been sick in bed for most of the year." Chen Ruxue recalled her mother and said, "I still remember when I was a child, my father was very busy and didn't have time to take care of my mother and my sisters. My mother is afraid that Zhaoxue and I will be lonely, dragging the sick body, as long as I can get out of bed, she will definitely play with us.

"My father is often not at home, but my father's majesty makes me and Zhaoxue dare not ask for anything from him, but I can't understand my mother's intentions, so I blame my mother for always lying on the bed and refusing to play with us.

"Until Zhaoxue and I were ten years old, we were a lot more sensible at that time, and we knew that my mother's health was not good, so we wouldn't always bother her. Although there are no relatives at home, only me and Zhaoxue have some whispers in our hearts, but we will not say them. And my mother seemed to see our thoughts, and she still cared for my sisters from time to time. We thought that my mother's body was much better, but how did we know that my mother's body was getting worse and worse, but we just took care of the two of us with this thought.

"Four years ago, my mother had a serious illness, and Lang Zhong said that my mother's body had already failed, but for some reason it had lasted for so many years. But I knew that she couldn't let go of her father and my sisters. That year, my mother went, Zhaoxue cried very sadly, but I didn't cry, I know my mother's care for us, and I am happy to have such a mother.

"It's just that without my mother, my father felt very sorry for my mother and my sisters, but he became more busy. He gave me and Zhaoxue a lot of compensation, but it was difficult to really face it like a family. This time, my father was transferred here, if it wasn't for me and Zhaoxue insisting on coming along, my father would definitely not let us come too. ”

Zhang Fan listened to Chen Ruxue's narration and didn't know what to say, or that he was not qualified to say anything. I had seen enough of this kind of tragic story on TV in my previous life, but I had never experienced it. Whether it is in the previous life or now, the parents at home love themselves very much. Although he has no father in this life, his mother's meticulous care makes Zhang Fan feel a trace of sadness.

"Since my mother died, my father has been even more reluctant to go home to face us, and Zhaoxue and I have missed our mother more and more." Chen Ruxue continued, "I am really happy today. Brother Zhang, the moment I saw my aunt today, I thought that my mother was still alive.

"Zhao Xue wants to go out today, but it's not for shopping. But I heard that you were going home and wanted to see your mother. Uncle told us about my aunt, and at that time, Zhaoxue and I felt that my aunt and our mother were really similar. When I see my aunt today, I feel that my mother is not dead and still alive in the world, which is really good. ”

Zhang Fan finally understood why the sisters' expressions were different from before when they were shopping in the afternoon, the relationship was in the lack of maternal love, but Zhang Fan couldn't do anything about it, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally stammered and said: "If you want to, you can go to my house often in the future." I'm always a man, and there's no place for you to talk to my mother. I think my mother must like you very much, I guess she has already come to see you as a daughter. ”

As soon as this sentence was spoken, Zhang Fan regretted it. Sure enough, I saw that Chen Ruxue was first happy, and then seemed to be about something, and suddenly, her cheeks were red, and she lowered her head deeply.

Zhang Fan realized that he had said the wrong thing, but he dared to explain it, he knew that the more he explained this kind of thing, the more chaotic it became. "I'm really a pig's head, how can I talk without a brain, this can misunderstand the little girl, she won't think I will tease her again." Zhang Fan thought wildly in his heart, but he didn't know what to do. After a while, Zhang Fan had to get up and make a gesture and said; "In Xia Menglang, I said goodbye." Fly away as if flying.

"He just apologized to me, but he didn't say that he didn't mean to say that, could it be ......" The sixteen-year-old girl is the age when love first blossoms, thinking about Zhang Fan's words just now, her heart is also churning, it is estimated that she will not sleep well tonight.

Zhang Fan returned to the living room with a strange look on his face. Ma Xianling and Chen Wenchuan were still drinking, they were already drunk, where could they care about Zhang Fan's expression, and when they saw him coming, they hurriedly persuaded him to drink. Zhang Fan was relieved.

This banquet was drunk until the end of the year, and the two of them were already drunk, and they were helped to rest by their subordinates, and Zhang Fan was also escorted home by the officials on duty. It's just that on the way home, Zhang Fan kept thinking about Chen Ruxue's appearance just now in his mind, and he couldn't go back for a long time. It seems that Zhang Fan, who has never been in love in his two lives, seems to be moved by spring.
