This is the first Spring Festival after Zhang Fan's rebirth, I remember that in my previous life, I was studying and working outside, and I could only go home during the Spring Festival. For him at that time, the Spring Festival was just a festive festival of reunion, but this time he personally experienced the ancient Spring Festival, and Zhang Fan felt different for the first time.

The sound of firecrackers in the sky, although people's festive faces are no different from the Spring Festival that Zhang Fan has experienced, but he feels a deeper joy from the bottom of his heart. At that time, people were usually busy with work, and they cherished the only few festivals in a year, so they naturally didn't want the Spring Festival that was diluted in later generations.

Zhao is very happy, his son can be regarded as having a good life, fulfilling the big wish in his heart, plus the conditions at home are much better this year, he is no longer as poor as usual, the smile on his face is even deeper, and the whole person looks glorious. And Zhang Fan also rarely put down the book and felt the joy.

Although there are only two mother and son in the family, they are very happy. In addition, the neighbors also warmly came to congratulate the New Year, which added a bit of festivity.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, two sisters, Ru Xue and Zhao Xue, also came to Zhang Fan's house to visit the Zhao family, but the Zhao family was very happy. When Zhang Fan saw Chen Ruxue again, he felt that her whole person had changed, although she was still so silent as before, it made Zhang Fan feel that she was much more cheerful, and she no longer had the feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away before. Chen Ruxue was also very happy to see Zhang Fan, and a faint feeling permeated the two, but this atmosphere was quickly broken by her sister Chen Zhaoxue.

At noon, the sisters had dinner here, and Zhang Fan was about to muster up the courage to ask Chen Ruxue out of the house......

"Brother, you got the first name in Shaanxi, Xie Yuan, you must have read a lot of books." Chen Zhaoxue was familiar with herself, pulled Zhang Fan's sleeve and asked, her sister Chen Ruxue who was watching on the side was very helpless, but she couldn't say anything.

"Although I haven't read more than 10,000 books, I have read some of them." Zhang Fan was also very helpless, but he also liked this lively and cute little girl very much, and said with a smile, "Zhaoxue has anything to ask?" ”

"No, no, no." Chen Zhaoxue hurriedly said, "I thought, now that it's the New Year, there's nothing to be fun about, so it's better for my brother to tell me a story." ”

"......" Zhang Fan was a little surprised, she didn't know why Zhao Xue wanted to do this, but then she thought about it, now there are only some children playing artillery battles outside, and her father is probably talking to Ma Xian Ling about something. Thinking that this little girl was also pitiful, and those big eyes were now looking at him pitifully, Zhang Fan was immediately defeated.

"Okay, then I'll think about what kind of story I'll tell you." Zhang Fan felt like he was coaxing a child. Chen Ruxue on the side also seemed to be interested, and her beautiful eyes also looked at Zhang Fan.

To tell the truth, Zhang Fan has read a lot of novels or something in his previous life, but he hasn't read much of the kind of love and love that the girls like, as for those Three Kingdoms Water Margin or something, not to mention that the girls don't like it, it is estimated that they have all read it. As for Journey to the West or something, it is estimated that Master Wu Chengen is in creation, and Zhang Fan has no intention of plagiarizing. In the end, Zhang Fan, who had no tricks, remembered the Qiong Yao dramas that the TV station showed when he was a child, and felt that he could still remember some of them, so he turned them into stories.

"These are also what I saw in some wild history miscellaneous records before, saying that once upon a time, there was a ......" Zhang Fan changed the background of the story and began to talk about it.

Zhao saw it, didn't want to disturb the young man's activities, and walked out. The two girls were deeply attracted by the story told by Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan never knew that he was quite talented in telling stories, at least he saw that Chen Zhaoxue liked what he said very much, and even Ru Xue listened attentively. The two little girls frowned, sometimes smiling, sometimes weeping. All kinds of expressions also attracted Zhang Fan, and he worked even harder.

"Woo, why did that bad guy do this, it's okay, a lover will eventually become a family and be angry with him." After the story was over, Chen Zhaoxue was happy when she heard the perfect ending.

"After all, a story is a story, there are many people in this world who have suffered like them, but there are a few people who can really be as happy as them!" Zhang Fan said.

"Big brother doesn't believe what he said?" Zhao Xue looked at Zhang Fan suspiciously, but she immediately said confidently, "I still believe that good people have good rewards, and besides, I will pursue my own happiness and never let others destroy it." ”

Zhang Fan looked at the confident appearance of the little girl in front of him, but he admired her very much in his heart. In such a Ming Dynasty where the feudal religion was extremely developed to the peak, it was really not easy for an ordinary girl to have such an opinion.

The time has just passed, and Chen Zhaoxue is estimated to be too happy in the morning, but now she is sleepy. Ru Xue also had no choice about her sister, so Zhao asked her to go to her room to rest, so she went out to do something again. Only Zhang Fan and Chen Ruxue were left in the living room, and the atmosphere was quite awkward. Zhang Fan was embarrassed to come forward to talk, afraid that Chen Ruxue would think he was frivolous. Just not saying anything, it seems to make people feel alienated again. In the end, Zhang Fan seemed to have made a decision.

"Ru Xue, do you feel bored?" Zhang Fan took the initiative to speak, "Zhaoxue is resting, why don't we go out for a walk?" ”

"It's all up to big brother." Unexpectedly, Chen Ruxue agreed to Zhang Fan without thinking about it, and seemed to be very happy.

After telling his mother, Zhang Fan took Chen Ruxue to the street. The streets are full of children playing, children with some money buying knick-knacks from roadside vendors, children with firecrackers, and pedestrians walking from house to house.

Chen Ruxue followed behind Zhang Fan, and she went wherever Zhang Fan went. And Zhang Fan also walked aimlessly.

"Ru Xue, when will Ling Zun return to Dingbian?" On the way, Zhang Fan asked as if unintentionally.

"Dad, he's busy with official business, and he's going back tomorrow." Chen Ruxue said.

"That's a pity." Zhang Fan said wistfully, thinking that she would leave tomorrow, and she didn't know when she would meet again.

"Yes, Dad, he is very busy all year round, and this time he finally caught up with the New Year to rest, but he only had a few days." Chen Ruxue thought that Zhang Fan was feeling sorry for his father.

"Then you and Zhaoxue are going back with you?" Although the hope was very slim, Zhang Fan still asked.

"No, Zhaoxue and I are going to stay." Chen Ruxue said.

"Really?!" Zhang Fan said happily, feeling that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly calmed down, and then asked, "Why is this?" ”

"I heard from my father that because of the southern invasion of the Tartars this year, the imperial court has strengthened the defense of the frontier." Chen Ruxue didn't notice that Zhang Fan was very excited, and said, "Dad, I'm afraid I'm going to be very busy in the next year, and I don't have much time to return home." He asked me and Zhaoxue to live with Uncle so that we could take care of them. And Dingbian is also very close to here, and my father said that he will come to see us when he is free. ”

"Great...... I mean, it's a shame. Zhang Fan almost said that he missed his mouth, and hurriedly corrected it.

"There's no way around it." Chen Ruxue also sighed, "But Zhaoxue and I have been like this since we were children, and we have long been used to it." ”

Zhang Fan listened to Ru Xue's narration, and suddenly felt that the girl in front of him was not as weak as she looked, since their mother died, they lived with their sister on their stomachs, and they also honed their minds. "Thinking that Chen Ruxue is so taciturn, it is also because of loneliness, and her sister Zhaoxue is so naughty just to attract her father's attention." Zhang Fan thought in his heart, feeling that the two sisters were very strong, and their liking for Chen Ruxue was even deeper.

"If Ru Xue doesn't mind, you can come to my house often with Zhao Xue." Zhang Fan said boldly.

"Won't this disturb my aunt?" Although Ru Xue was also very happy about Zhang Fan's invitation, she still had some concerns.

"No, and my mother likes you too." Zhang Fan said.

"Then, my sister and I will have to be bothered from time to time." Chen Ruxue seemed to think of something again, and said softly, her face was slightly red, and she seemed to have other thoughts about Zhang Fan's words.

"I'd welcome that." Zhang Fan was very happy when he heard Chen Ruxue's answer, where did he notice her expression.

The two of them decided to do something, and their moods were more relaxed, and the scenery along the way became more lovely in the eyes of the two. The two talked and laughed all the way, and unconsciously came to a Taoist temple.

It is said that the Ming Dynasty's control of Buddhism was very strict, and the land of Buddhist temples did not have to pay taxes, so in order to prevent the loss of labor, if you want to become a monk, you must pass the imperial court examination. But this Taoism was made the state religion by the imperial court, and now it is very prosperous.

In this New Year, many people come to the Taoist temple to pray for blessings. Zhang Fan and the others rose, and also went in to worship Sanqing, and asked the Taoist to calculate a hexagram for himself by the way. Although Zhang Fan didn't believe this, he saw that Chen Ruxue was full of interest, and he also went up to join in the fun.

Chen Ruxue asked the Taoist to calculate a hexagram, and the Taoist asked, "What does the girl want to ask?" ”

Chen Ruxue was embarrassed to say what she thought in her heart, but the Taoist saw it and asked, "But ask for marriage?" ”

Chen Ruxue looked at Zhang Fan and didn't pay attention to this, blushing and nodding slightly.

"Hehe, in fact, the girl doesn't have to come and ask me." The man smiled and said, "If you want to say that the girl's fate has actually been met." ”

Chen Ruxue listened to the words of the Taoist, thinking about that figure in her heart, and her face unconsciously showed a sweet feeling.

"And you and he will inevitably grow old together in the future." The man continued, "Although there may be separation, they can eventually become married. ”

Zhang Fan came over and saw that Chen Ruxue had finished counting, but her face was red, but she also revealed joy.

"What's the matter, Ru Xue, is there anything good?" Zhang Fan didn't know what was going on, and asked jokingly.

"Well, but I can't tell you." Chen Ruxue made a rare joke, and the style revealed at this moment made Zhang Fan overwhelmed.

"Big brother will also count a hexagram." Chen Ruxue said with Zhang Fan.

"I don't need to, do I?" Zhang Fan didn't want to tell the hexagram.

"Since you're here, why don't you count it as a hexagram." Chen Ruxue persuaded.

"In that case, I'll do the math too." Zhang Fan said, walked over to the old Taoist and sat down.

The old man asked, "What does Childe want to count?" ”

"Then it's a good future." Zhang Fan said casually.

The Taoist asked Zhang Fan's birthday, looked at his palmistry, and said with some doubts: "Gongzi seems to have been born twice." ”

Zhang Fan was a little surprised when he heard the words of the Taoist, he couldn't imagine that this Taoist person could indeed see some doorways, so he immediately became interested and asked, "I don't know what else Chang can see." ”

"Just looking at the face of the child, it is indeed unspeakably expensive." The Taoist looked at Zhang Fan and said, "If you ask about the future, don't worry, you will definitely rise to the top in the future."

"If you talk about good luck, although there are several bad omen in Childe's life, he can avoid it without danger, and it is not a problem for him to reach his old age."

"If you ask about marriage." Lao Dao said this, and looked at Chen Ruxue who was standing not far away with great meaning, and said, "That should also be a romantic character." ”

Although Zhang Fan doesn't believe what Lao Tao says, everyone loves to listen to good words, and Zhang Fan is no exception, and he is very happy to hear Lao Tao say this.

"It's just ......," the Taoist then said, "It's just that the poor Dao really can't understand the birthday of the son, maybe the cultivation of the poor Dao is not enough, don't blame the prince." ”

"Dao Leader doesn't have to be like this." Zhang Fan said that he knew the secret buried in his heart, and thought that the Taoist did have some ability, for fear that he would say something good again, which would be not good, so he hurriedly said, "The Taoist chief is a hexagram calculated in the next place, and he also likes it very much." After speaking, he paid the money and left with Chen Ruxue under the puzzled gaze of the Taoist.

When the two returned home, Chen Zhaoxue had already woken up, and blamed the two for going out without telling them, which caused everyone to laugh.

Gradually, night fell, and it got dark. Ma County Ling also sent someone to find the sisters.

"Big brother, aunt, Zhaoxue and I are going back." Chen Ruxue said.

"It's so late, why don't you have dinner and leave?" Zhao asked.

"Thank you, aunt, it's just that my father will return to Dingbian tomorrow, and my sisters and sisters should go back to meet their father tonight." Chen Ruxue politely declined Zhao's invitation, and then said to Zhang Fan, "Big brother, I'm leaving, thank you today, Ruxue is very happy." ”

"Auntie, I'm leaving too." Chen Zhaoxue on the side also said, "And big brother, next time I come, you have to tell me a few more stories." Hmph, who told you and my sister to leave me to go out to play today. ”

"Then you can't take all your anger out on me alone." Zhang Fan smiled bitterly.

"Whoever calls her my sister, I naturally won't be angry with her." Chen Zhaoxue seemed natural and said, "Naturally, I asked you to compensate me." ”

Zhang Fan listened to Chen Zhaoxue's words, and had to smile bitterly.

"Remember to come back next time." Zhao looked at this scene with a smile and said to the sisters.

"Got it, aunt, eldest brother, Zhaoxue and I will leave." After Chen Ruxue finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Fan with other meanings, accompanied by the people sent by the Ma County Order, and went to the county office.

Zhang Fan silently looked at the departing figure in pink clothes, not moving for a long time, while his mother Zhao looked at Zhang Fan, and the corners of her mouth showed a shallow smile.
