Chapter 508: In the Back Hall
Zhang's family, today seems to be very lively, not because there are any distinguished guests, but it is a simple matter such as a visit from the in-laws, and the excitement is not the scene, but the atmosphere.
For Chen Wenchuan's visit, the happiest may be in addition to the two sisters Ru Xue and Zhao Xue, no, only Ru Xue may be happy, after all, Zhao Xue is worried in her heart at the moment, and the rest of the happiest ones are Zhao, after Chen Wenchuan arrived, he has been chatting with Zhao about something, of course, most of the themes revolve around Zhang Fan's two children, for his grandson and granddaughter, Chen Wenchuan really loves it, although because of busy military affairs, not to mention the full moon wine, even when the two children were born, He didn't come to visit, but this did not prevent Chen Wenchuan from loving the two children, and even the love was even heavier.
And Zhang Fan has actually been worried, he doesn't want to see Zhao Xue like this now, and he is also very anxious, but the persuasion of the people in the family, even Ru Xue's own sister, has been ineffective many times, in this case, Zhang Fan can only hope that Chen Wenchuan's arrival can make Zhao Xue get out of his heart, as for himself, although he has not participated in this matter, but after all, it is related to him, how can Zhang Fan come forward to persuade Zhao Xue to do anything.
And now, after Chen Wenchuan arrived, he didn't go to see Zhaoxue immediately, but chatted with his mother, Zhang Fan now feels a little relieved, it is really a very contradictory mentality.
The two elders were chatting with the two juniors, while Zhang Fan and Ru Xue were hiding in the back hall, talking about something.
"Ru Xue, you said, father-in-law is here, can it be useful," Zhang Fan asked Ru Xue with some concern, "After all, according to Zhao Xue's temper, I'm afraid it's ......"
"Please rest assured about this," Ru Xue understood what Zhang Fan was worried about, and said, "For Zhao Xue, the concubine naturally knows a lot, and her careful thinking is not difficult to guess, and although Zhao Xue has been a little willful since she was a child, she is also quite obedient to her father's words, and she will never dare to be disobedient, just ......"
"It's just what," Originally, hearing Ru Xue's first half of the words, Zhang Fan's heart was already a little relieved, but Ru Xue's two words "just" made Zhang Fan's mind hang again.
"Xianggong, the world often says, 'a woman's heart, a needle under the sea', although the concubine is Zhao Xue's own sister, but now, what Zhao Xue is thinking, the concubine can't guess," Ru Xue also frowned and said, "When her father goes to see her, how will she react, whether she will listen to her father's words, or go against her father's will, the concubine body is not sure at all,"
As soon as Ru Xue said this, Zhang Fan's already frowning brows sank deeper, as I said before, Zhang Fan didn't do anything about this matter, but it was closely related to Zhang Fan, and now, Zhang Fan felt even more unhappy, as if he had done something wrong.
It's funny to say, people often have to take a lot of responsibility for things they have never done, and they also have to feel uneasy, of course, they can naturally pat their butts and just ask, do their own thing, but Zhang Fan is not that kind of person, he can't do that kind of thing, and the most important thing is that for Zhao Xue, Zhang Fan really doesn't have any thoughts in his heart.
It's impossible, whether it's sincere, or Zhao Xue's thoughts prompted Zhang Fan to have an idea in his heart, in short, Zhang Fan definitely has Zhao Xue in his heart now, and he definitely doesn't treat her as his wife and sister.
This is also the reason why Zhang Fan really doesn't want to face Zhaoxue.
It is precisely for this reason that since Zhao Xue began to make trouble because of this incident, Zhang Fan has never seen her at all, and the more Zhang Fan doesn't see her, the more Zhang Fan has such a meaning in Zhao Xue's opinion, so her little temper is even more powerful.
"......What do you say," Zhang Fan looked at his wife and asked with some hesitation, "When my father-in-law meets Zhaoxue and asks about things, will he come out to settle accounts with me," Zhang Fan said this quite reluctantly, and the expression on his face didn't know whether it was funny or helpless, or both.
"Count...... Settle accounts......" Ru Xue also hesitated when she heard Zhang Fan say this, and after a while, she said in a hesitant voice, "No...... Won't it......" It can be seen how uncertain Ru Xue is in her heart at this moment.
"......" Hearing Ru Xue say this, Zhang Fan, who was already feeling very uncomfortable, was even more uncomfortable in his heart at the moment, it seemed that when he encountered this kind of thing, even for her father who knew her very well, Ru Xue couldn't make an accurate judgment.
"No...... No, it's no wonder that Xianggong is in this matter, how could my father lose his temper with Xianggong because of this," Ru Xue saw Zhang Fan's expression and said again.
But obviously, it is better not to say what she said, and now that she has said it, not only did it not make Zhang Fan feel relaxed, but it made him even more worried.
......Seeing this, Ru Xue deserved to comfort her, "I don't know what will happen now, my father is looking at Yanyi and Yanyue, and he hasn't gone to see Zhaoxue, and there is no result yet, Xianggong is so scared, what can I do, in case it really ...... The concubine means that maybe after the father comes out, nothing will happen,"
What else can Zhang Fan do about Ru Xue's words, he can only smile helplessly, although now it is indeed like what Ru Xue said, there is no result in the matter, but Zhang Fan feels that he can still make a conclusion about this matter, and this presumptuous conclusion does not seem to deviate too far.
At this time, the back hall was quiet, the husband and wife didn't know what to say, Zhang Fan's frustration was mentioned, and Ru Xue was even more helpless in her heart, she really didn't expect that she had comforted her husband for a long time, but she didn't expect that Zhang Fan not only did not relax, but his mood became heavier.
The "giggles" of the two children came from the front hall, which was originally a joyful atmosphere, but here in the back hall, it seemed a little sad and bleak, which was really weird.
"If ......" for a long time, Ru Xue said, "If my father agrees, will the Xiang Guild agree?"
"This ......" Zhang Fan never thought that Ru Xue would ask such a question, he had never considered this question, and now that Ru Xue asked, he didn't know how to answer at all.
Ru Xue didn't seem to expect Zhang Fan to answer this question at all, after all, she also understood Zhang Fan's thoughts, but she still asked so, which showed that she still wanted to know what Zhang Fan thought in her heart, and it also showed that she actually cared about this question.
"I haven't thought about this matter," Zhang Fan said truthfully, "It's just that I don't know what Ru Xue thinks in your heart,"
"What does Xianggong mean by that," Ru Xue was a little confused.
"I mean......" Zhang Fan said this, paused, and took a deep breath before continuing, "If my father-in-law agrees, I will also agree, at that time, what will you think in your heart, Ru Xue?"
Although it is not a confrontation, but Zhang Fan's question is obviously against Ru Xue's army, this question, Ru Xue has not thought about it, but this question is not as difficult to answer as the one she asked Zhang Fan just now, but for a while, Ru Xue didn't know where to start.
"If you say happy, the concubine is telling a lie," Ru Xue thought about it, and still said, "The concubine is a woman after all, and women are selfish, but it seems to be a kind of power, if the concubine says she is happy, I'm afraid it will be a lie, even now, Sister Ling'er and Sister Yingyue enter the door, although Ru Xue understands in her heart that Xianggong will not favor one over the other, but if she really doesn't have a trace of unhappiness in her heart, it is definitely a lie, after all, what woman doesn't want to be loved by her husband alone, Even if it was the concubine's own sister, the concubine was unwilling in her body.
"But, after all, it's the concubine's own sister, if it's just to take care of the concubine alone, and let Zhaoxue suffer all her life, what can the grievances suffered by the concubine be counted,"
Hearing Ru Xue say this, Zhang Fan didn't feel good in his heart.
In fact, speaking of which, it is not forbidden for biological sisters to marry a husband, this kind of thing has been more common in ancient times, even the Song Dynasty, or the Great Yuan Dynasty, which is closest to the Ming Dynasty, has never had a law that stipulates that this cannot be done.
In the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing also existed, and the laws of the imperial court did not say that it was not allowed, but in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing was very rare.
And now, according to Zhang Fan's identity, if he marries Zhao Xue now, not only will it not be something that cannot be revealed to the public, but it will become a kind of capital to show off, but Zhang Fan really doesn't think that there is anything worth showing off about this kind of thing, and he will never use women, especially his own women, as a bargaining chip to show off to others.
But now, this matter has produced so many troubles, which makes Zhang Fan feel very uncomfortable, in fact, in the final analysis, it is because of two things, one is that Zhang Fan cares too much about Ru Xue's feelings, and the other is that he is afraid that Chen Wenchuan will disagree with this matter, in fact, in the final analysis, if Zhang Fan really marries Zhao Xue, even if Chen Wenchuan disagrees, he can't do anything to him, in fact, in the final analysis, the two reasons are the same thing, that is, he doesn't want to make Ru Xue sad.
As for Zhang Fan himself, although he didn't think about it, it didn't mean that he didn't want to do it in his heart, and he also understood Zhao Xue's love for him.
Huss was thinking about it in his head, and the voice of talking in the front hall was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that the two children were almost playing.
