Chapter 514: Caring in the Present

"I want you, marry Zhaoxue," Chen Wenchuan's voice was not loud, but at this moment, this small voice sounded in the room, but it was really a little surprising.

Zhang Fan is like this at the moment, no, just two words of surprise are not enough to describe his mood at the moment, just now, Chen Wenchuan said to him, although he did not mention this matter, but Zhang Fan is not stupid, he can already guess from Chen Wenchuan's words what he is planning.

However, the so-called speculation is speculation, even if he has already determined in his heart that his guess must be correct, but this kind of thing came out of Chen Wenchuan's mouth, and he said it without any concealment, without a little concealment, which really surprised Zhang Fan.

Looking at Zhang Fan's surprised face, Chen Wenchuan's face did not change in any way, he had long expected what kind of lethality the sentence he just said had, especially for Zhang Fan, but, obviously, Chen Wenchuan is not the kind of person who likes to joke, any word he said was all deliberated by him, and the sentence he said just now was not the product of some impulse, coming out of Zhaoxue's room, the not far journey to and from Zhang Fan's study, But it took Chen Wenchuan a long time, and he stopped and stopped along the way, all thinking about this matter.

"But...... But in this way...... "Zhang Fan opened his mouth to refute something, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything, and when he said it, for Zhang Fan himself, he didn't want to refuse this "beautiful thing"; As for Chen Wenchuan, Zhang Fan couldn't find the words to refute him at all.

"What's the matter," Chen Wenchuan asked, "Could it be that you still have any questions?"

"This ......" Zhang Fan was said by Chen Wenchuan, so he calmed down, thought about it, and said, "But this matter, for my father-in-law, I'm afraid it's not good," Zhang Fan thought of this.

Hearing Zhang Fan say this, Chen Wenchuan didn't show any expression that made him feel annoyed, but still smiled.

"Father-in-law......" Seeing Chen Wenchuan's appearance, Zhang Fan was a little anxious, "Please forgive Zhang Fan for being disrespectful, after all, my father-in-law is also an official of the imperial court, if my father-in-law is a common man, even if I Zhang Fan marries the two of them, the most people in the world will say that I am greedy for beauty, but after all, my father-in-law is an official for the imperial court, and I don't know if it is tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the holy decree that my father-in-law will be promoted to the secretary of the criminal department will come, these two things can't be hidden, I'm afraid that the time will be ......."

"Are you afraid, I will be gossiped about at that time," Chen Wenchuan continued without waiting for Zhang Fan to finish speaking, and there was still a smile on his face, "When the time comes, the news that I agree to marry Zhaoxue to you, and the news that I am about to be promoted will spread out at the same time, I am afraid that some people in the court will definitely say that I, Chen Wenchuan, am a shameless person, in order to be promoted and make a fortune, I will marry all my two daughters to the commander of the Jinyi Guard of the dynasty, and now the emperor is a big celebrity in front of the Ming Dynasty,"

"It's not a fear, but a certainty," Zhang Fan said, "There will definitely be such words coming out outside, although these words can't affect my father-in-law at that time, I'm afraid it will be ......" Zhang Fan said this, but he didn't know what to say.

"You mean to ...... I'm afraid I'll make me lose face," Chen Wenchuan didn't shy away from anything at all, and said it directly, although Chen Wenchuan said it very easily, but Zhang Fan understood that this was not something that could be said easily, especially for Chen Wenchuan.

"I know what you think in your heart," Chen Wenchuan said, "I think that although I am an open-minded person, I am too stubborn in some places, for example, in terms of my attitude towards my ancestors, alas, to tell you the truth, before, in fact, two hours ago, before I talked to Zhao Xue, this is indeed my heart's thoughts, no matter what, I must absolutely abide by the family rules, and I must not do anything that is not in line with the rules, or let some rumors discredit my Chen family,"

Nodding, Zhang Fan didn't intend to deny it, admitting that he thought so just now.

"It's just ......" Chen Wenchuan paused a little, but there was no confusion in his expression, "Zhao Xue's way just now made me change my mind, instead of asking for those unrealistic things, or even making my daughter so miserable for this, it is better to put aside these things to come, no matter what other people think of me, I am me, and I am not allowed to sacrifice my daughter's happiness for the sake of other people's words, if it is for the sake of my ancestors, maybe it will seem that I am a little rebellious to say so, but, I don't believe that these rules laid down by our ancestors are really more important than the people living in front of me,"

To be honest, when Chen Wenchuan's words just came out, Zhang Fan didn't feel that there was anything wrong, after all, for a person like him who came from five hundred years later, what ancestors and what ancestors taught were indeed inconsequential, and everyone just knew what was in front of them.

However, when Zhang Fan looked back, he was surprised, Chen Wenchuan in this era, in this capacity to say such a word, is indeed too shocking, ancestor such a word, in the minds of the Chinese, what kind of weight does it have, maybe you ask most people about the meaning of this word, and the philosophers that people have to carry, many people can not answer clearly, but no matter who it is, these two words have an absolute position and weight in his mind, It is an existence that must not be defiled.

However, Chen Wenchuan's words completely subverted this concept, not that Chen Wenchuan was rebellious or anything, but Zhang Fan really didn't believe that his father-in-law would make such a thing for the sake of the person in front of him, or even for his daughter who could not inherit the Chen family's incense, and all of this was because of the promise that Chen Wenchuan's deceased wife made him make before she died.

For a while, Zhang Fan really didn't know that it was his love for his wife that made Chen Wenchuan make up his mind to make such a decision; Yes or maybe he really cares about the happiness of his two daughters, but ......

"Father-in-law," Zhang Fan stood up, bowed respectfully to Chen Wenchuan, and said, "The son-in-law will definitely live up to his father-in-law's expectations,"

Seeing Zhang Fan like this, Chen Wenchuan also laughed, and then he said: "Zhaoxue, I've been watching outside the door for so long, I should come in now,"

When Zhang Fan heard him say this, he couldn't help but put his eyes on the closed door, but after Chen Wenchuan's words came out, he didn't respond for a long time.

Just when Zhang Fan felt puzzled, the door opened, and it was Zhao Xue who stood outside the door, after opening the door, Zhao Xue looked very twisted, walked in slowly, and kept her head down, but even if Zhao Xue lowered her head, the sharp-eyed Zhang Fan still saw that she was looking red, and she thought that a daughter's family overheard her father outside the door that she was willing to marry a man she liked, which is naturally very shy for the daughter's family. Especially when she just found out, she was called out by her father.

How could Chen Wenchuan not know that after he came out of Zhaoxue's room just now, on the way to Zhang Fan's study, he had already found his daughter following him, but he was not a little broken.

As for Zhao Xue, Chen Wenchuan had a conversation with her in the room just now, although the father and daughter didn't make a big fuss or anything, but the appearance of Zhao Xue was very resolute and very sad.

But before Chen Wenchuan left, he didn't say anything at all, nor did he express any opinion on this matter, whether it was good or bad, Zhao Xue didn't know at all.

Therefore, when Chen Wenchuan walked out, she understood that he wanted to find Zhang Fan, originally, for a daughter's family, this kind of thing is naturally not suitable to hear, even for Zhao Xue, who is too lively on weekdays and always likes to play, she also feels that it is a little inappropriate, but she really wants to know how things will be, and what will happen to Zhang Fan.

When Chen Wenchuan asked Zhang Fan whether he liked Zhao Xue or not, and Zhang Fan replied yes, Zhao Xue didn't mention how happy she was, but even at this time, Zhao Xue learned what she wanted to know the most, but she was even more worried about Zhang Fan in her heart.

After all, even Zhao Xue herself didn't know what Chen Wenchuan's plan was, she was afraid that her father was tempting Zhang Fan to say such a thing, and then she didn't agree with it.

But fortunately, Chen Wenchuan did not do so.

When she got to the back, she found that Chen Wenchuan actually agreed to this matter, not to mention how happy she was, but at the same time, Zhao Xue also had an urge to cry, to be honest, until now, she found out how much her mother loved their sisters, before, for her mother, Zhao Xue's impression in her heart has always been good, but she didn't know anything, after all, their mother died too early, but now, she finally found out how much her mother loved herself.

There is also Chen Wenchuan, a father, who is willing to ignore people's words for the sake of his daughter, this kind of father is rare in this era, to be honest, Zhao Xue didn't think it before, but now, she found that under her father's serious appearance, there was a deep love for herself, which made Zhao Xue even more moved,
