It is said that today Zhang Fan married Luo Ling'er as a concubine, many people are very happy, and now, this worship hall is about to begin.

Again, all the rituals today are simple and simple, but they are definitely not shabby at all, they are all there and they can be regarded as comprehensive.

Zhang Fan and Luo Ling'er walked into the hall of the Zhang family side by side, and the hall was already seated, Zhang Fan's mother Zhao was no longer there, but Zhang Yufang, who was an uncle, was naturally qualified for the position of Gaotang, and the woman was naturally Liu Shan, of course, sat in the hall.

Fortunately, Zhang Fan married Luo Ling'er as a concubine, because the place in China is too big, although if you marry a wife, the form is a bit the same, but you always have to kneel down and worship the high hall, but this concubine, not necessarily, although the customs in many places are a little different, Zhang Fan just took Luo Ling'er to bow to his uncle and Liu Shan, otherwise let Zhang Fan kneel for Liu Shan such a eunuch, even if he has good concentration, it is estimated that he will have to be mad on the spot.

Although it is a concubine, this ceremony is not ambiguous at all, after the master of ceremonies shouted and sent it into the cave room, Luo Ling'er will start a long wait, and Zhang Fan's responsibility is heavy, so he naturally has to go to the dining table to be poured wine, although Zhang Fan's current identity, there is no one here who is qualified to pour him wine, but he is really happy today, as soon as this person is happy, the nature of drinking two cups will naturally rise, and Zhang Fan's appearance really makes those who are dining in the hall overjoyed, It's just that what these people think is not the same thing, what those businessmen think about is nothing more than to be able to talk to Zhang Fan, drink a glass of wine, and increase their face, and those officials can think of other places, they take it for granted that Zhang Fan came here at this time, then there must be something to talk to Liu Shan.

Speaking of today's concubine Zhang Fan, he has never sent out an invitation, but what kind of person is Zhang Yufang, decades of experience made him expect this kind of scene, although if he didn't prepare any water, wine, or dishes, these people who came today would definitely not even dare to let go of a fart in Zhang Fan's face, but Zhang Yufang is also a face-saving person, and he can't do this kind of thing, no, a sumptuous banquet has already been prepared in the backyard of the Zhang family. The courtyard of this Zhang family is also quite large, but now it is full of more than a dozen tables of banquets, and this is almost not enough, Zhang Yufang looked at the scene in front of him, and secretly called luck in his heart, the seats of this banquet are just right, if there is one less table, then there will be more than ten people without seats to sit, it is not good.

Zhang Fan is the protagonist today, Zhang Yufang is naturally sitting on the main seat, and Zhang Fan naturally sits next to him, and Liu Shan is naturally sitting next to him, this arrangement is definitely not intentional, at least this is not suitable for talking about any "confidential" things, after all, there are many people here now, if you say something that should not be said and someone inadvertently listens to it, it is not good for anyone, Zhang Fan naturally does not need to say, Liu Shan is also an old fritter, how can you not know the truth of this, The two of them naturally talked and laughed and talked freely, but they talked about some common words, or some officialdom anecdotes that ordinary people don't know much about, at least, there are many Zhang Fan's family members sitting next to this table, although they are also the children of big families, but some things are unheard of, and they listen to them with relish.

"Brother Fan, you mean, at that time, you were intercepted by tens of thousands of Tatar soldiers, and the reinforcements of the imperial court didn't know when they would come to the rescue," somehow, Zhang Fan talked about his trip to Tatar at the beginning of the year, and these people present had heard a lot about the war, but where was Zhang Fan, a person who had experienced life and death, more vividly, no, Zhang Ting heard the nervous place, as if she couldn't believe what Zhang Fan said, and couldn't help asking.

"That's right," Zhang Fan didn't blame her for interrupting herself, and said, "At that time, in addition to those merchants and other people who had no combat effectiveness, there were only 1,000 Qi family troops sent by General Qi Jiguang and Qi to escort us on the road. There was another tribe of 10,000 horses chasing after us, and by the time they caught up with us, we were blocked by a river, and we couldn't really advance or retreat."

"That'...... Then what about later, Brother Fan, weren't you scared at that time," Zhang Ting heard this, her heart had already risen to her throat, and she hurriedly asked, and the others were also eager to know how Zhang Fan and the others got out of trouble.

"To be honest, I was really not very afraid at that time," Zhang Fan smiled and said, "If you say that when I was in Yiji Naizhong before, I was worried about the attack of the Tartar nobles, and I didn't know when I would be in a different place, but at that time I was a little afraid, but once this crisis came to the front, I saw that I was going to die, but I was not very afraid, after all, retreating is certain death, and going forward and fighting with them, although the chance of death is still greater, but it is not lifeless, this is probably the so-called death and then life,"

Then Zhang Fan told the rest of the story, but he omitted the part of Yingyue sacrificing his life to save him, firstly, he was afraid that Zhang Yufang would blame himself, after all, Yingyue had a life-saving grace for himself, but now he married Luo Ling'er first, and did not mention Yingyue so as not to have any thoughts about Zhang Yufang, secondly, Yingyue did not appear today, and not to mention that she didn't know, that is, she knew that Zhang Fan didn't mention her, and she wouldn't blame Zhang Fan at all, after all, for her, these things are not a big deal.

The ending of the story is naturally beautiful, and everyone here also felt very happy when they heard this happy ending, but Zhang Yufang said: "This barbarian is a barbarian, and he did not hesitate to kill his fellow clansmen for his own interests, no wonder he was driven back to the grassland by Emperor Taizu back then,"

The people who said this were nodding their heads, and they all agreed, only Zhang Fan and Liu Shan looked at each other and smiled, although they didn't say anything, but the meaning was already obvious, playing infighting, these five thousand years have been the best of the Chinese, and its bloody degree is even more than it, but Zhang Fan thinks that Zhang Yufang can feel like this is not bad, after all, for ordinary people, this world is peaceful and peaceful is the root of their happiness.

"My brother-in-law is terrible, no, after returning to Beijing, he was given the title of Count Zhongyong by the emperor, doesn't it clearly show that his loyalty is brave," Liu Shan added fuel and vinegar on the side, "But today is Zhang Fan's happy day, don't say anything about fighting, killing, seeing red and seeing blood, it's unlucky, say something festive,"

Sure enough, everyone stopped mentioning these things and began to gossip, and the scene became lively for a while.

Zhang Fan was entertaining, thinking about how to deal with Liu Shan's performance in vain, and was thinking that Wang Meng came to him to whisper a few words to him, but it was just to report Zhu Yijun's recent situation.

In addition to Yingyue not showing up today, there are many people who have not appeared, Zhu Yijun, Nurhachi, Ruan Er, Richard and Joanna, the first few are because Zhu Yijun doesn't want to show up, not that he has any objection to Zhang Fan marrying Luo Ling'er as a concubine, in his eyes, Zhang Fan is omnipotent, what's the big deal about marrying a few concubines, especially for him who has such an old man as Longqing, he has long been surprised in the palace, no, he pulled a few people out early this morning to play, Even Yingyue had just freshened up and dressed Zhang Fan, and was handed over by Zhu Yijun, and Richard and Joanna didn't want to participate in this banquet very much, no, it should be said that Richard was quite interested in this, after all, he was a foreign secretary, and he should be familiar with the etiquette of other countries, but Joanna didn't know what was going on these days, her face was always full of unhappiness, and she didn't say anything when she asked her, no, early this morning, Joanna's unhappiness reached its peak, Richard didn't like to let her participate in the banquet, if something happened at the banquet, he couldn't afford to lose this face, after all, they came to Daming on behalf of the Portuguese royal family this time, so he had to use his extremely awkward, awkward Chinese to ask Zhu Yijun to be able to go out with them, Zhu Yijun didn't hesitate, he happily agreed, after all, it would be interesting to travel, it would be interesting if there were many people, and Zhu Yijun still didn't think there were fewer people, of course, Those who followed them and secretly protected him were not counted.

After listening to Wang Meng's report, Zhang Fan also put his mind at ease, naturally, most of what Wang Meng said except for Zhu Yijun's situation was about that Ruan'er, which was also Zhang Fan's request, he had to hear this kind of report once a day, no matter what he was doing, Wang Meng had to disturb him and report to him, and this Ruan Er had not done anything out of the ordinary so far, but I heard that Zhu Yijun opened a small private school, and taught her and Nurhachi all day long, and gave them a lesson to learn Chinese and literacy, and was quite interested. And Zhu Yijun didn't have any estrangement from Zhang Fan because of Ruan'er, he still respected Zhang Fan very much, and once he didn't understand something, he would immediately ask Zhang Fan for an answer, which made Zhang Fan feel a lot more relieved.

However, this matter of reporting the news should have been Liang Chao's errand at the beginning, after all, Zhang Fan originally appointed Liang Chao to do this, but Liang Chao is not stupid, in case Zhang Fan is doing something inconvenient, wouldn't it be inappropriate for him to bother so rashly, so this task had to fall on Wang Meng, and Wang Meng, this very calm person now feels that he has fallen into Liang Chao's hands, at least he is very embarrassed now.

More than half of the banquet, but this just refers to Zhang Fan alone, looking at the current situation, this luncheon, which was already late, is estimated to take a long time, I am afraid it will last until it is carried out together with the dinner, but Zhang Fan is not worried about this, he has something to talk to Liu Shan about now,
