Chapter Seventy-Nine: Spring Snow in April

Today's third chapter is sent, thank you for your support.

At the beginning of the next chapter, we will enter another scene.

=======================================

In April, the small manchu has passed, and it is the time when the summer crops are beginning to be watered to the fullest, but they are not yet ripe. Ru Xue is now pregnant, but her lower abdomen is not obviously protruding, but her waist is slightly thicker. She has been plump recently, and I don't know if it's because she's pregnant, or because she eats too much of the things that make up for her body. She was afraid that her husband would not like her, but Zhang Fan cared about him unabated, even more than before, which made her feel at ease.

Zhang Fan has been treating Zhao Xue no longer always dodgy recently, but in this way, Zhao Xue is a little cringe, and many of the things she wants to say can't be said in front of Zhang Fan. Every time Zhang Fan left, she always regretted scolding herself for being cowardly in her heart, and Ru Xue and Yingyue on the side laughed secretly.

Zhang Fan feels that his current life is really a bit leisurely. Originally, Jinyiwei's yamen headquarters was in Tianjin Wei, but Zhang Fan didn't want to go there, and it was inconvenient to go home. He asked people to move the yamen of Jinyiwei to the capital, and the Manchu civil and military didn't know what he meant, and thought it was Longqing's instructions, so he couldn't help but panic. And Long Qing knew about it, so he didn't ask at all, and he didn't explain anything. This made these people very honest for a few days, and even Zhang Fan himself felt that this decision was good, so he made up his mind.

Now that there is nothing going on in the court, Gao Gong's purge of his political enemies has also ended, the unlucky have been unlucky, the ones who should have been imprisoned have been imprisoned, and the people who should have gone home have gone home, and the court has returned to its previous calm. Now although the storm has passed, there is still a terrifying afterglow among the ministers, coupled with Zhang Fan's action of relocating the Jinyi Guard's office, the court is very quiet. The things in the north are tentative, and the things that help me answer must be considered in the long run, plus no one is to worry about it, and the nearly 1,000 catties of cistanche that Zhang Fan got make Longqing's recent life very proud. Long Yan was happy, and he rewarded Zhang Fan with a lot of gold, stone and jade in the palace, which made Zhang Fan and the ministers a little confused.

Halfway through April, Zhang Fan's preparations for his trip to the south of the Yangtze River were all in place, and he could set off on the auspicious day of the zodiac personally selected by the chief officer of the Qintian Prison. Zhang Fan is afraid of hurting Ru Xue's body, and has been living an abstinence recently, which is undoubtedly a kind of torture for a good young man who has not been married for a long time, and Yingyue is still teasing his desires unintentionally on weekdays, so that he almost solved it by himself. In addition, now that the weather is getting hotter, Zhang Fan will go to the street every afternoon to wander around, exhausting his body to consume his excess energy, but he no longer dares to go to the Dashilar area outside the front door. It's not because of Ru Xue, he's afraid that he can't help but "make" some "mistakes".

Zhu Yijun, the little prince, will be nine years old in four months, and he knows that his wife Zhang Fan will go to Jiangnan in a few days, so every time Zhang Fan comes to the East Palace, he is pestering Zhang Fan, mainly asking Zhang Fan if he can come back on August 17 and his birthday. Zhang Fan estimated that the merchant ship would come back in June, and two months was enough time for him to complete all the things, so he promised Zhu Yijun that he would definitely come back on his birthday, and at the same time promised Zhu Yijun to bring back some small things from the south of the Yangtze River, which made the little prince happy.

Another incident happened during this period, a few days ago, Zhu Yijun got Longqing's permission to go out of the palace to Zhang Fan's mansion to play, and he was very curious when he learned that Ru Xue was pregnant. But Yingyue saw that he was playing very happily with Xiangmei's sister Xue'er's little girl, and Yingyue, who was not big or small, was very instigated, yes, Zhu Yijun, who returned to the palace, said in public in front of Longqing and his mother that he wanted Xue'er's girl to be his concubine, and his expression and tone were unprecedentedly resolute. Li Guifei had never seen Xue'er, but Long Qing had heard the rumors of this incident, and proudly beckoned Zhang Fan to attack and asked him.

Zhang Fan, who returned home, reprimanded Yingyue very harshly, which made Zhaoxue very happy. However, after he discussed with his mother Zhao, Zhao immediately announced that he would accept Xiangmei and Xue'er as his goddaughters, and Zhang Fan also recognized Xue'er as his sister. Maybe it was because she thought that the name had the word "snow" in it, Ru Xue was very happy that this little girl she liked very much was her sister-in-law, and Zhao was also very happy to have such a lovely goddaughter. Among all of them, only Xiangmei may be a little unhappy, and there is always a trace of reluctance in her eyes when she looks at Zhang Fan. This small detail was not discovered by anyone except Yingyue, but Yingyue found that Xiangmei's regret gradually dissipated, and Zhang Fan was really like a sister to a brother, so she didn't say anything.

The Zhang family has recently been double happy, first Ru Xue is pregnant, and then the Zhao family has two daughters who are like flowers. These two events spread outside, and many people came to congratulate them. Zhang Fan had no choice but to set up a banquet at home to thank everyone. During the banquet that day, Zhu Yijun also came to join in the fun, but this time he was not a micro-suit, but came to the door as his own prince, and with it came Longqing's reward, which once again saw Zhang Fan's status in Longqing's mind.

During the banquet, everyone toasted Zhang Fan one after another. Because it was to celebrate Zhang Fan's family affairs, and the female dependents who drank a lot also arrived, Zhang Fan had to prepare another banquet for those female dependents. The protagonist's Xiangmei was also present, and Ru Xue didn't drink much because she was pregnant, but Zhao happily made an exception and drank a few glasses.

The four ministers of the cabinet also arrived, and Zhang Fan could clearly see that Gao Yi and Zhang Juzheng were intimate. After three rounds of drinking, these five people saw some fame, and they all saw that the prince and Zhang Fan's newly accepted godsister Xue'er little girl were very close. Li Chunfang and Gao Gong naturally knew it, so they smiled slightly and stopped asking and continued to drink. However, Guo Pu and Gao Yi saw each other and envied Zhang Fan very much. Zhang Juzheng, as Zhang Fan's teacher, was not polite, and asked Zhang Fan with his eyes. Zhang Fan didn't speak, just nodded, and pointed up slightly with the index finger of his right hand, and Zhang Juzheng knew it in his heart and didn't ask anymore.

When the banquet was counted, many ministers withdrew. Zhu Yijun went back early because the Forbidden City had access time, and Xue'er's little girl watched Zhu Yijun go back with some reluctance, she was still young after all, but she didn't have that mind, but she didn't have Zhu Yijun to tell her a story, which made her a little disappointed. When everyone saw this scene, they warmly congratulated Zhang Fan.

Gao Yi even relied on himself and Zhang Fan to drink flower wine together, and came to him and said very intimately: "Brother Zhang is really enviable, I can't help but love you very much today, and the future is even more promising!" "This guy seems to have drunk too much and is starting to babble.

Zhang Fan didn't reply to his words, but ordered someone to help him out of the house.

After it was over, the servants were packing up their things, and Zhang Fan also wanted to go back to the room to rest, but he ran into Zhaoxue on the way.

"Brother-in-law......" Zhao Xue blushed, and her speech was a little intermittent, obviously drinking too much.

Seeing that she was about to fall, Zhang Fan couldn't care about anything, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her. Zhao Xue fell into his arms, looked at his face for a long time, and then said, "This is the first time you have hugged me." ”

Zhang Fan listened to her words and didn't know what to say, but Zhao Xue spoke: "Brother-in-law, I'm ...... I don't want to call you brother-in-law, I want you to call me Xue'er like a sister. After waiting for a long time, Zhao Xue didn't wait for Zhang Fan to say these two words, she shed sad tears, and said: "Why are you my brother-in-law!" ”

Zhang Fan looked at the jade man in his arms, but he really couldn't bear her to be sad anymore, and said, "Snow ...... Cher. ”

These two words were not loud or emotional, but Zhang Fan said so to comfort her. But when Zhao Xue heard it, she heard the sound of a fairy, and there were tears on her face, but she showed a happy expression and said, "You are finally willing to call me like that." ”

Zhang Fan looked at her jade face, and the expression that finally opened the clouds to see the sunrise made him very sad. His heart no longer struggled and decided to accept this love. Gradually, Zhang Fan used his arms to hug Zhao Xue's delicate body tightly into his arms.

Zhao Xue was in Zhang Fan's arms, feeling the warmth of his chest, and some cold hearts gradually warmed up, and tears couldn't help but flow from his eyes, but this time was completely different from just now.

"Why are you crying again?" Zhang Fan said. Looking at the face of the jade man in his arms, he gently wiped away her tears.

"No, I ...... Zhaoxue is so happy. Zhaoxue's happy voice came. Tonight, she drank a lot of wine to give herself courage, so she dared to block Zhang Fan's way to confess to him. Now that she has received an answer, she no longer has the strength to rejoice in her heart.

Zhang Fan immediately helped her up and said, "Why did you drink so much wine, I'll send you back to your room." ”

Zhao Xue let Zhang Fan help her to come to the door of her room, thinking of the first time he stepped into her door, her heart was filled with joy.

Zhang Fan also entered Zhao Xue's boudoir for the first time, and felt that the layout here was very girlish, which was completely different from Zhao Xue's pungent temperament. "Maybe this is the real Zhaoxue." Zhang Fan said in his heart.

Helping Zhao Xue to her boudoir bed and sit down, Zhang Fan just wanted to call someone to serve her to rest in her wide clothes, but was stopped by Zhao Xue, and her voice came: "Brother Fan, don't let others come." ”

"But you must rest in your clothes." Zhang Fan looked at her gently and said, "You can't do it yourself now, what if you don't call someone to come?" ”

"I want Brother Fan to help me loosen my clothes." Zhao Xue said, with affirmation in her shy words.

Zhang Fan thought that this was her joke, but when he found that Zhao Xue looked at the trace of emotion in his eyes, he knew that she was serious. Without saying anything more, Zhang Fan started to dress her widely.

The sky was getting hotter in April, and Zhao Xue didn't have much clothes on her. A shawl and coat, Zhao Xue's blue belly pocket was exposed, and a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water were embroidered on it, which was a little difficult for a girl who was not married. Zhang Fan didn't know that this was specially embroidered by Zhao Xue herself in order to comfort her thoughts about him. Although she was a little shy, she didn't cover it, and boldly showed her almost completely exposed back and slightly exposed beautiful flesh on her chest in the eyes of her beloved.

Zhang Fan also looked at it with a dry mouth, but he didn't stop the movements in his hands. He took off his embroidered shoes for Zhao Xue and grabbed her pair of wonderful feet in his hands. Although the two sisters, Ru Xue and Zhao Xue, were born into large families, their mothers felt sorry for them and did not let them bind their feet, so Chen Wenchuan followed them. And Zhao Xue's wonderful feet are like Ru Xue, small and exquisite, crystal like jade, even better than her sister's. Zhang Fan put them in his hand and played with them well, which made Zhao Xue extremely shy. Ancient women cherished their feet more than chastity, and even some women would not let their husbands play with their feet after marriage. But Zhao Xue did not flinch.

After a long time, Zhang Fan let go of the pair of jade feet that he couldn't put down. Standing up, Zhang Fan was a little embarrassed, looked at Zhao Xue with embarrassment, and asked, "Xue'er, do you really want it?" I think it's better to let the maid come. ”

"Brother Fan stupid." Zhao Xue showed her pungent temperament and scolded: "It's not for them to see the maid now." ”

Zhang Fan thought about it, and he was a little embarrassed and put his hand on Zhao Xue's waist, feeling the slender waist and slippery skin, while also feeling Zhao Xue's body trembling slightly. He settled down, closed his eyes and took off Zhao Xue's skirt, and then stood there without opening his eyes again.

"Brother Fan, look at Xue'er." Zhao Xue's voice came.

Zhang Fan still couldn't help it and opened his eyes. Zhao Xue, who was only wearing obscene pants and a belly pocket, was lying on the bed and looked at him shyly. She didn't cover it, so she exposed most of her skin in front of Zhang Fan's eyes, as if she was tempting him to do something.

Zhang Fan really felt that the blood in his body was flowing faster, and he was afraid that he would not be able to resist it after a while, so he hurriedly pulled the futon on the side to cover Zhaoxue's beautiful skin, and then breathed a sigh of relief. In addition to being stable in my heart, I was suddenly a little disappointed, and the joke of "not as good as beasts" suddenly popped up in my mind. "Looks like I'm really 'not as good as a beast'!" Zhang Fan said in his heart.

looked at Zhao Xue, and gradually closed his eyes, Zhang Fan was about to leave, but was grabbed by Zhao Xue's jade arm. Seeing Zhao Xue's somewhat confused appearance, Zhang Fan returned to the bed and kissed her red lips lightly with a slight aroma of wine. Sit on the edge of the bed until Zhaoxue falls asleep, then leave.

Outside the door, Yingyue was waiting for him at the door of his room next to him. Seeing Yingyue, Zhang Fan was a little embarrassed, but Yingyue smiled at him and turned around to go back to the room, but she didn't close the door, as if she was inviting Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan made up his mind, finally resisted the temptation, and went back to accompany Ru Xue to rest.
