Zhang Fan just got out of the car, and the people around him didn't come forward to report, only to see Liu Shan personally greet him, with a smile on his face, and the already handsome and feminine face made people feel indescribable.

"Lord Zhang, welcome," Liu Shan came to Zhang Fan, shook respectfully, and said cordially, "My lord's trip to Fujian, the anti-Japanese strategy, is really God bless me Daming, out of such a heroic figure as Lord Zhang, it is really gratifying, gratifying, the villain is admired, admired," the words with a very obvious taste of groveling, were said by Liu Shan's slightly somewhat male duck voice, and the effect was indeed extraordinary.

"Father-in-law Liu is polite, all this is the credit of the emperor, if there is no emperor's will, I can't do anything," Zhang Fan said with a forced smile, to be honest, he can still face Liu Shan's face and say this calmly, it is really a lot of strength and determination, this is not a joke.

"Alas, why should Lord Zhang be so polite," Liu Shan also hurriedly echoed, "No matter what, this time the adults have made meritorious contributions to resist the Japanese, it is a sure thing, and now on the way from Fujian to the capital, whether it is officials or ordinary people, everyone knows, the matter of the adults is now a good story, why should the adults themselves be so modest,"

Zhang Fan listened to his words, but felt a little surprised, yes, Liu Shan's words may also be made up so smoothly for the sake of patting the horse, but Zhang Fan didn't believe it very much, after all, patting the horse, to shoot something to make people happy, but not to let people hear that it was sycophancy, if the patting of the horse's ass is too much, when the time comes, when the time comes, find someone to ask and know the truth, wouldn't it be troublesome for yourself.

"Where, Zhang Fan is ashamed," Zhang Fan hurriedly said, "After all, this time in Quanzhou, although the merchant ships that have been able to protect the return to the sea are thorough, they have never been able to think of a way to completely exterminate the Japanese people, not to mention that the owners of the captured ships are still unknown, life and death are uncertain, I didn't expect their families to wait in pain, and they are powerless, I am really ashamed, until the end of this year, the merchant ships will go to sea again, I am afraid that they will have to suffer from those Japanese criminals," these words are indeed modest, But why is it not the true idea in Zhang Fan's heart, after all, the kidnapping incident of the Japanese invaders has not been resolved, and there is no conclusion at all, in the end, this time it is the temporary idea of the Japanese invaders, or they are ready to change the previous robbery methods, or if there is really some force behind them to support, it is difficult for people to guess at the same time, but also unable to put their minds at ease.

"Hey, Lord Zhang, you see I'm confused," Liu Shan suddenly patted his head and said apologetically, "It's really disrespectful for the adults to stand outside the door for so long, it's disrespectful, disrespectful, please come in quickly," Liu Shan said as he waved his hand into the house, leaning forward slightly, making a gesture of please.

"Father-in-law Liu is polite," Zhang Fan said, "Father-in-law Liu is also invited,"

The two walked into Liu Shan's mansion side by side, and came here again, Zhang Fan couldn't help but look around, this place is still the same as the last time he came, it is very quiet, it seems to be because of leaning on the water's edge, Zhang Fan feels that this place is a little cooler than the outside, in this hot south, it is the middle of summer, it is really rare to have such a place.

There don't seem to be many people in Liu Shan's mansion, Zhang Fan remembers that he didn't see many people when he came here last time, in this rather large mansion, it seems that only Liu Shan and a few subordinates live, I don't know if this is Liu Shan's hobby, but Zhang Fan has heard a lot about this mansion, many officials will come to Yangzhou, some are for all kinds of official and private affairs, and some are purely passing by, and some of these officials will naturally receive all kinds of banquets where they go, It's just that these people are naturally used to seeing this kind of scene, and some are even a little disgusted, and Liu Shan seems to have seen this, and invited them to a banquet in such a quiet place, so that most of the people invited will be there, and when the time comes, it will be a lot more convenient to give any bribes, talk about some disgraceful things, and do something unseemly, Zhang Fan is even sure that if he catches a few subordinates of the Liu Mansion and asks a little trick, he will definitely know a lot of things.

"Father-in-law Liu is a good scenery here," Zhang Fan looked around and said very casually, "The last time I came, I thought that Father-in-law Liu was a little too quiet here, but after these days, after looking back, this is really a good place to be desirable,"

"Do you think so too about adults," Liu Shan was very happy when he heard Zhang Fan's words, "When our family chose this place, although Wang Dezhao, the prefect of this place, was also amazed, but the discerning person knew at a glance that his words were just because our family's grade was higher than his, and he was flattered against his will, and how could our family not hear the disdain in his tone, but although our family had never cared about these, it was recently affirmed by adults, and it still made our family very happy," said a word that was very sincere, didn't mean to have any intention of having an opinion with Zhang Fan.

"I understand Gonggong Liu's thoughts," Zhang Fan looked at his now very serious face, quite surprised, and said, "It's just that sometimes everything is not just based on your own preferences, after all, people always have to meet another person, and it is common for people to be hostile to each other because of one person's difference, not to mention the officialdom where you and I are in, the situation is even more complicated. Either you will be buried in your name and below for the rest of your life, and you will never come out,"

"What the adults said is yes," Liu Shan also sighed, but this atmosphere did not last long before Liu Shan himself broke it, "Today is the day when the adults return to Yangzhou, although it is only a short period of more than a month, it is still a happy event, why be so sad, you should be happy."

"My lord also please, the courtyard has already prepared a banquet, this time our family specially took out a jar of aged wine, although it is not as sweet as the royal wine that the adults have drunk in the palace, but it is also a rare good thing, don't let the mood affect the wine, otherwise no matter how good the wine is, it will be tasteless,"

"What Gonggong Liu said is," Zhang Fan said with a smile, and then followed Liu Shan to the courtyard.

Before entering the courtyard gate, the aroma of wine wafting to the nose was already wafting to the nostrils, even a person like Zhang Fan, who had been drinking for a few days, could ask that it must be the smell of the best wine.

Entering the courtyard, this is still the last time Zhang Fan came, the place where Liu Shan invited him, it was still the same scene, exquisite dishes, and the dark water surface on the side reflected the lights on the flower boat in the distance, which made people feel the tranquility after the glitz, and these were not what Zhang Fan was focused on, he was looking at a person, a woman waiting in the courtyard, it was Luo Ling'er.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel a little distracted, she was still as beautiful as she first saw her, but now Luo Ling'er is a little different than at the beginning, I remember the first time I saw her, in addition to the beauty of her appearance, what this woman revealed was a kind of loneliness and loneliness, and even a lifeless appearance, like a puppet manipulated by someone, listening to the wisdom of others doing what she didn't want to do at all, but had to do, It seems that her life and death are no longer in her hands, but firmly in the hands of others.

And now when I see her again, Zhang Fan sees a difference, that kind of beauty, blooming from the heart, as if it will never be exhausted, it seems that her life has once again found hope, the kind of brilliance that exudes infinite hope for the future suddenly makes people's eyes shine.

Luo Ling'er looked at Zhang Fan, and didn't make any movements, and even the smiling expression on her face didn't change in any way, but Zhang Fan still saw something different from her eyes, and although the unforgettable look couldn't explain the meaning in words, it was very obsessive.

However, Zhang Fan did not fall into this whirlpool, but quickly regained consciousness, he could naturally imagine why Luo Ling'er had such a big change, and everything was not all the promises he gave her at the beginning, thinking of this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and said secretly: "This woman is really like this, for the sake of herself is not able to sell anything,"

Thinking of this, and looking at Luo Ling'er again, Zhang Fan couldn't help but admit that she did have such a capital, and she made up her mind again in her heart that she must not be confused by her again.

Until now, Zhang Fan has always told himself that the relationship with Luo Linger was not real, even if there was love between them, it was just because Luo Linger was really charming, and he was confused by her.

But for the time being, Luo Ling'er still has a lot of use for Zhang Fan, and Zhang Fan still has to use her to do a lot of things for himself, so there is no need to have a showdown with her and draw a clear line now, and Zhang Fan also knows in his heart that the more he is attached to her now, the more she can make her work hard for herself.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but smile at Luo Ling'er, and his smile also brought some small movements that can only be seen between lovers, which made Luo Ling'er very happy, and his face was slightly blushing.
