Chapter 836: A New Life
"By the way, since you're here, don't talk about those unhappy things anymore," Zhang Fan suddenly smiled and said, "It's almost three o'clock in the afternoon, I'm patronizing to talk to you, have you eaten?"
Hearing Zhang Fan say this, Joanna also understood, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, I ate it when I first arrived, and the two subordinates of the adult bothered, and they also deliberately asked people to buy wine and food, and when they ate these things again, they really had some indescribable feelings in their hearts,"
"Then what are you going to do in the future," Zhang Fan continued.
When Joanna heard Zhang Fan say this, she stood up and saluted Zhang Fan, which is a very standard Portuguese court etiquette, even if Zhang Fan didn't know what the etiquette of the Portuguese court was, but it was definitely not the etiquette of the East.
"You...... What does this mean," Zhang Fan looked at Joanna and asked, "Moreover, why are you still wearing such a dress?"
Zhang Fan is referring to Joanna's dress, she is still wearing a European-style dress, and it is different from what she wore when she came to Daming before, at that time she was a diplomat at the same time, she was also a soldier, and what she was wearing was actually a military uniform, and now, she was wearing a palace dress, which was very gorgeous, even in this era, her dress also completely outlined her figure lines.
Although Zhang Fan has never seen Joanna wear it like this, but he has seen this body, of course, it was on TV in his previous life, although he really saw it with his own eyes, this is the first time, but Zhang Fan did not say anything surprised by this, what he really wondered was that he didn't know why Joanna was still wearing it like this, and he deliberately dressed it up carefully.
In the face of Zhang Fan's question, Joanna was naturally able to understand, she smiled and said: "This dress is the only thing I brought with me when I went to India, it's not that I can't bear its value, it's just that this dress is the only thing that reminds me of my mother, but this is the first and last time I wear it, and it will be hung in the wardrobe forever in the future,"
These words sound a little sad, but for Zhang Fan, it is not the case, since Joanna will say so, it means that she really wants to let go of the past, maybe this dress is gorgeous, but its value to Joanna is not only these, this may be the only thing that makes her have a little warm memory of that cruel past.
However, Joanna also said just now that this is the last time she wears it, which means that although she will not forget the past, she will definitely not be bound by the past anymore, which is naturally a good thing, so when Zhang Fan heard her say this, he was naturally happy in his heart, and it was naturally a good thing to be able to put aside the past, whether it was the past or some unhappy things.
"As for what to do in the future...... Joanna said this, looked at Zhang Fan, but did not look awkward or embarrassed, and said, "I have no relatives here, and I know a lot of people, but I am afraid that there is only one adult who can really take refuge, so this time I am here to take refuge in adults,"
"This ......" Hearing Joanna say this, Zhang Fan didn't know what to say, he seemed to have forgotten that he should praise Joanna actually used the idiom "unaccompanied", after all, Joanna's words were very, very open, without the slightest evasion, and there was no meaning to hide, completely straightforward everywhere, Zhang Fan didn't say this until she said this, this is what I remembered, the woman in front of me was not from the Ming Dynasty, and she was not even born in the Central Plains.
Although in the feudal era, even European women were much more conservative, but compared to the Eastern countries, they still had to be a lot more open, and it was not correct to say that they dared to love and hate, so they could only say that they liked to express their feelings directly.
And for Joanna, this is especially prominent, not because she is more open than others, but because of her experience, after what she has suffered, she understands that if she still can't face her feelings, this behavior is tantamount to suicide, but maybe it is because of Joanna's special experience that she mistook her feelings.
Yes, she does have a good impression of Zhang Fan, but that kind of good impression really can't be transformed into the kind of love she has for Zhang Fan now, in fact, all of this is because of what happened to her, so that she can not see it clearly, and take this good feeling as love.
But these don't matter now, it seems that by now, both Zhang Fan and Joanna are willing to accept this relationship, and some things, there is really no need to look at the cause and effect, and the situation in front of them is actually the best.
"Since that's the case......" Joanna's words did surprise Zhang Fan for a while, but he quickly came back to his senses, but the idea of calming him down was actually completely different from Joanna's idea, but it was still the same sentence, the Tao was different, but the purpose was the same, "If you don't dislike it, just live in my house, although you have lived here, but after all, the time is too short, you will have to live here in the future, if there is a problem with God, There are also people here who take care of it,"
And Zhang Fan's words made Joanna a little surprised: "My lord, I just arrived here, and the adult let me live there, isn't it too fast," However, even at this time, Joanna still called Zhang Fan "adult", which shows that although she was able to let go of the past, the blow she suffered still had a great impact on her, and Joanna lowered her identity because of this, which is why she will call Zhang Fan so.
And, obviously, Joanna seems to have gotten something wrong.
In fact, Zhang Fan's starting point is very simple and simple, after all, Joanna is here this time, not to stay for a while and leave, I'm afraid she will stay here like this for the rest of her life, in this way, she is not familiar with Daming's living habits, if she is allowed to live outside alone, there may really be trouble, let her live in Zhang's house, everything is good to take care of, and there will be no trouble.
And even if Zhang Fan doesn't say it, he doesn't want to, but if things develop according to the current situation, I'm afraid it can be guessed to be solved, so instead of waiting until that time to make plans, it's better to do it now and do it in one step.
And hearing Joanna say this, Zhang Fan also understood what she meant, facing this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he didn't plan to correct Joanna's thoughts, it's not that he has any thoughts, it's just that this kind of thing, the more you explain it, the more chaotic it becomes, so it's better to leave it like this.
That's it, Zhang Fan didn't say anything, anyway, there will be time in the future, Zhang Fan took Joanna to the backyard, found his mother and said about it, for this matter, Zhao didn't have any doubts, and readily agreed, after all, the Zhang family is such a big place, such a big family business, one more mouth, adding a bed is not a troublesome thing at all, and the person who lives in is still a woman, although I heard that it is a person who lives thousands of miles away, but for the Zhao family, It makes no difference.
However, Joanna lived in Zhang's house, which still caused a lot of conversation, of course, this topic was only limited to Zhang Fan's home in the previous stage, Ru Xue and they didn't seem to have any special emotions about Joanna's arrival, they were also very curious about Joanna, and a few women of the same age were talking, and Joanna told them a lot about what they had seen and heard in Europe, which made the four of them, including Ru Xue, very interested.
And that's not all, Zhaoxue and Yingyue also introduced her to Wei Yanyao, and Joanna and Wei Yanyao quickly became acquainted.
Moreover, there is another thing that has to be mentioned, after she knew about the relationship between Zhaoxue, Yingyue and Wei Yanyao, especially the incident that made Zhang Fan have to appear in the "Spring Tea Xuan", Joanna thought of one thing, that is, the relationship between Zhang Fan and Wei Yanyao, I'm afraid, she was the first person to see the relationship between Zhang Fan and Wei Yanyao.
In fact, for this matter, Joanna is thinking about it in her previous way of thinking, after all, if a nobleman is better with a single woman, in her hometown, there is only that possible relationship, although it seems a little inappropriate to say that Joanna is still using the European way of thinking to guess the people living in the Ming Dynasty, but I have to say that she guessed correctly this time.
However, even if she guessed, she would not have any jealousy and hostility towards Wei Yanyao, in fact, in her opinion, her relationship with Wei Yanyao and Zhang Fan is the same, even if it is not now, it will be the same in the future, the difference is only that she can live in Zhang Fan's house properly.
From Wei Yanyao's words and deeds, Joanna, who has already guessed so much, can naturally see that Wei Changyao is not just that kind of relationship with Zhang Fan, but also has love in it, so Joanna will not be unhappy with Wei Changyao, but in comparison, she feels that she is much luckier.
That's it, Joanna officially started the second half of her life in Daming.
And Zhang Fan, after dealing with this matter, but also into another battle, just in the autumn of September, the holy decree was issued, and the imperial court began to fully enable Zhang Juzheng's "Examination Law", and troubles also came by the way,
