In that year, in the early years of Longqing, that is, the year when Zhang Fan had just come to the Ming Dynasty, Wang Chonggu was appointed as the governor of Shaanxi, Yan, Ning, and Gansu for military affairs.

When Jiajing was thirty-four years old, he was the deputy envoy of Changzhen's military garrison, and Wang Chonggu, who took over military affairs for the first time, was to defeat the Japanese and Xia Gang, and since then, Wang Chonggu, who has shown his military talent, has also plunged into the army, and has managed the army in a good way, not to mention, but also able to make meritorious contributions many times.

Since Wang Chonggu was sent to the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty to guard the border passes, not only the first soldier, even the repair of the fortifications can be done by himself, when he patrolled Ningxia, he never gave up the reconnaissance of the place, as long as there was an opportunity, he would take the initiative to lead the army books, directly hit the enemy's lair, hesitate Wang Chonggu's exploits, I answered that I had many times ordered people to come here to loot, but on the contrary, no matter how heavy the losses in other places, but every time the court got the war report will have this "Ningxia is complete" such a sentenceThat's quite a feat.

Therefore, because of such a merit, Wang Chonggu was the military affairs of the governor of the four places, when I was able to negotiate peace with the Ming court, Wang Chonggu also made a huge contribution, if he did not decide to introduce Hannaji into the Ming Dynasty, it would be a dispute in the future, in short, Wang Chonggu's contribution, no one in the court can deny.

Now, the two sides have opened the tribute market, the frontier tends to be peaceful, and now Qi Jiguang personally led the troops to garrison several dangerous places, in case the Tartars suddenly tore up the treaty and came to make trouble, Wang Chonggu was also idle.

Although Wang Chonggu's achievements are incomparable, his martial arts are unparalleled, but he is old after all, this year is the sixth year of Longqing, and now Wang Chonggu is already fifty-seven years old, and he will enter the age of the sixtieth year in a few years, even if he is still full of energy, he can still lead the troops to fight and charge, but the age of the person is there, old is old, and if he does not accept it, even if Wang Chonggu himself, he does not say it, but he understands in his heart that he can no longer be like in the past.

At the beginning of this year, when Longqing was not sick, Wang Chonggu came to Beijing to congratulate him, and Longqing was also praised by everyone when he saw him, and then he was changed to the governor of Shanxi and Yida military affairs.

In this regard, Wang Chonggu did not feel any grievances, after all, he understood that this was Longqing taking care of himself, and he also knew that now that the tribute market is becoming more and more stable, there are not so many things to worry about, besides, Wang Chonggu is originally from Shanxi, and everyone says that the fallen leaves return to the roots, although he has not reached that time, but he will not object.

In short, Wang Chonggu returned to his hometown in Shanxi, and his official position remained unchanged, and he also added the official titles of Prince Shaobao and the Secretary of the Ministry of War, which can really be said to be an honor to return to his hometown, and he returned to his hometown, but Wang Chonggu is not as Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, said, "Wealth does not return to his hometown, such as clothes and brocade at night, who knows" This kind of ostentatious person, but this is a happy thing after all, and even his family is very happy about it.

And with Wang Chonggu coming back together, there are naturally his subordinates, and one of them is the most attention-grabbing, even if it is Chen Wenchuan.

Speaking of Chen Wenchuan, people who know him understand that he is also a talented person, although he is not as good as Wang Chonggu, but he is not much inferior, and he does not have Wang Chonggu's merits, it is really because although there were some connections in his family back then, Chen Wenchuan was too decent and disdained to use these things to help him ascend to the throne.

Wang Chonggu naturally understands these situations, and he also appreciates Chen Wenchuan himself very much, and he intends to reuse it for him, but who knows, at this time, something happened, that is, Zhang Fan married Chen Wenchuan's daughter Chen Ruxue.

No, in fact, this is not the case, it should be said that Chen Wenchuan's son-in-law Zhang Fan, who has just entered the imperial court, can actually be appreciated by the emperor and reused.

Originally, this is a good thing, after all, the person who appreciates Zhang Fan is the emperor, this is not to say that Zhang Fan can do it by any means, besides, there are more people in the world who want to please the emperor, but a few people can succeed, and, although many people were skeptical of Zhang Fan at the beginning, but Zhang Fan did several things very well, and gradually no one looked at Zhang Fan differently.

However, it is precisely because of this that Wang Chonggu did not reuse Chen Wenchuan, the reason is also very simple, Wang Chonggu does not want people to feel that he is powerful, because Chen Wenchuan's son-in-law Feihuang Tengda reuses him, maybe speaking of which, this is a little unfair to Chen Wenchuan, but Chen Wenchuan has no complaints about it.

But after that, Chen Wenchuan also relied on his own merits and was recognized by everyone, and now he is already a commander under Wang Chonggu, Chen Wenchuan's position is well deserved, no one can dispute, and it must be known that there is no war now, if there is a war, the promotion will be fast; But when there is no war, it is quite difficult to have Chen Wenchuan's promotion.

In short, Wang Chonggu did not release water to Chen Wenchuan because of Zhang Fan, the two sisters Ru Xue and Zhao Xue, or Chen Wenchuan, did not talk to Zhang Fan about this matter, and Zhang Fan did not make any small moves behind his back.

Now, Wang Chonggu changed to the governor of Shanxi, Chen Wenchuan naturally followed him to Shanxi to serve, to Shanxi, familiar with local military affairs for a long time, and then there was nothing, Wang Chonggu finally considered Chen Wenchuan's personal reasons this time, and gave him a vacation, and Chen Wenchuan's family had no relatives except for his two daughters, he naturally went to the capital to visit his two daughters.

For this matter, Zhang Fan should naturally be very welcome, and in fact, Zhang Fan is also very happy about the arrival of his father-in-law, but now, no matter who in the Zhang family knows about Zhao Xue and him, or it can be said that it is about Zhao Xue's heart, Zhang Fan is extremely troubled about this, and he can't refuse, and it's not good to lick his face and agree, so he is very helpless.

And now, Chen Wenchuan's arrival has also made Zhang Fan even more unsure of how to deal with it, so Zhang Fan is both happy and annoyed by Chen Wenchuan's visit.

But whether it's happy or troubled, this father-in-law is here, so he naturally wants to greet him.

Chen Wenchuan heard that his daughter was pregnant as early as when he was in the frontier, and he was very happy about this, after all, his Chen family came to his generation, only two daughters, which can be regarded as broken incense, for this, Chen Wenchuan has always felt guilty, and now, his daughter is pregnant, although it cannot be regarded as the continuation of his Chen family's incense, but it is also the flesh and blood of his Chen family, he is naturally very happy, but at that time, although there was no war in the frontier, but under the busy military affairs, Chen Wenchuan had no time at all, so he could take time out to visit his daughter.

Knowing that he had a grandson and a granddaughter, Chen Wenchuan was overjoyed, but he still didn't have time to go to the capital.

Now, it is finally a long-cherished wish, otherwise with Chen Wenchuan's temper, Wang Chonggu would give him a vacation for personal reasons, and he might not accept it.

Zhang Fan received Chen Wenchuan outside the capital, and he didn't say a word, but he found that his father-in-law was absent-minded, and he naturally understood his thoughts in his heart, but now that the season is about to enter winter, Ru Xue also understands his father's thoughts, but he is afraid that the two children will freeze, so he didn't come together.

In this regard, Chen Wenchuan showed a very contradictory behavior, he expressed inappropriateness to his daughter's doting on the two children, but he couldn't say anything, Zhang Fan and Ru Xue were a little funny at this time, but they didn't dare to show it.

A few people gossip, Chen Wenchuan also knew that Zhang Fan married two concubines, but in this regard, Chen Wenchuan did not say anything too much, in his opinion, Zhang Fan and several concubines are not wrong, anyway, in this era, three wives and four concubines are commonplace, of course, monogamy will not be ridiculed, but each family has its own family affairs, as long as Zhang Fan can be good to Ru Xue wholeheartedly, this is the most important thing in Chen Wenchuan's view, and the rest does not matter.

Gossip, the family was going to Zhang's mansion in the car, Zhang Fan also asked about Wang Chonggu's recent situation in the car, after all, Zhang Fan was recruited as the main bookkeeper as a person, and when he carried out the almost mortal task of raiding the main account of the Tartars with the army, what he saw was Wang Chonggu, for Wang Chonggu, Zhang Fan still admired him very much, and he was on par with Qi Jiguang in Zhang Fan's mind.

And Wang Chonggu's evaluation of Zhang Fan is not low.

Chatting and chatting, it was Chen Wenchuan, who was happy, who suddenly found that there was one person missing, and couldn't help asking: "Yuande, Ru Xue, why didn't Zhaoxue's girl come?"

Zhang Fan and his wife looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while, too, let them say something, now, Zhaoxue, the little girl, is hiding in the room and making trouble.

It's just that this matter makes Zhang Fan say it.

"What's the matter," Chen Wenchuan saw that neither of them spoke, and they still looked weird, and couldn't help asking, "Is something wrong?"

Seeing this, Zhang Fan still didn't know how to speak, and he couldn't help but look at his wife.

Seeing this, Ru Xue had to sigh and said helplessly: "Father, Zhaoxue is fine, but she has been unwell recently,"
