The family matter has been decided, Zhang Fan feels that this day is no different, but he has some expectations.

Chen Wenchuan was busy with official business in the jurisdiction, so he went back after finishing his daughter's affairs. And since Chen Ruxue got married to Zhang Fan, her whole person has changed dramatically. It no longer gives people a feeling of self-pity as in the past, and it is as brilliant as spring. Even Ma Xianling and Chen Zhaoxue could feel that Ru Xue was so dazzling and beautiful now.

It's just that Zhaoxue's little girl seems to be a little lost, I don't know if it's because her sister who has always been with her since childhood is getting married or something else, but this little girl hides it very well, and only unconsciously reveals this feeling when no one is around, and Ru Xue has been immersed in sweetness recently, where can she find this insignificant abnormality of her sister.

Zhang Fan is now in addition to reading and practicing calligraphy on weekdays, and his thoughts have long been on Ru Xue, where can he tolerate anything else in his eyes. Fortunately, I have already developed the habit of reading on weekdays, so there is no delay. However, every day at dusk is the moment that Zhang Fan yearns for the most, which sounds a bit bloody, but it seems that there is no difference between men and women who fall in love.

Although this Anhua County is located in the Yellow River Plain, there is no beautiful scenery, but where do the two want to see the scenery, they are just immersed in the sweet atmosphere between the two. Although the two who have been married should not meet, it's just that the two of them can withstand the kind of "torture" of not meeting. Zhaoxue, the little girl, has made a lot of efforts, and she keeps the wind for her sister every day, so as not to let Ma Xianling know, but it is estimated that Ma Xianling will turn a blind eye when she knows it.

Before you know it, it's the end of March. On this day, the two of them came to a place outside the city where they often stayed. The two talked for a while, and Ru Xue seemed to think of something and fell silent. Zhang Fan looked at his fiancée's expression and asked with concern, "Ru Xue, what's wrong?" Isn't it uncomfortable, it's windy here, let's go back. ”

Ru Xue shook her head, looked at Ai Lang in front of her, and said slowly: "Brother Fan, it's almost April now, do you want to ......?"

As soon as Zhang Fan heard Ru Xue's words, he knew what she was worried about, and when he thought that he was going to separate the two places from her, he couldn't bear it: "Ru Xue, I ......"

Ru Xue didn't wait for Zhang Fan to speak, she also covered his mouth, Zhang Fan felt the tenderness and the trace of thought on his lips, and his heart suddenly burst into waves, where could he still say the words in his mouth.

Ru Xue's hand left Zhang Fan's lips, caressing his delicate face, which was also her own longing for a long time, and said slowly, "Brother Fan, you don't have to say more. Ru Xue knew that Brother Fan was always a person who wanted to do a great job, and she must not let Brother Fan be hindered for the sake of Ru Xue, so that Ru Xue would feel guilty for the rest of her life. ”

"Ru Xue." Zhang Fan clenched his sweetheart's hand, and with infinite gratitude in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a feeling of "if you have a wife like this, what more can you ask for".

The two lingered for a while, and then Ru Xue remembered what was going on and asked, "Brother Fan, when are you going to go to the capital?" ”

"My mother has already prepared, and it is estimated that there will be no more days." Zhang Fan said, "But ...... I'll write to you often, though. ”

"Brother Fan......" When Ru Xue heard Zhang Fan's words, she could no longer suppress the sadness in her heart that was about to part, and tears burst out of her eyes.

"Don't cry." Zhang Fan caressed away the tears for his lover in distress.

"Brother Fan, I will miss you often." Ru Xue said with a stalk.

"Me too." Zhang Fan said, just hugging the jade man in front of him into his arms.

When there was still the last ray of light in the sky, Zhang Fan sent Ru Xue back to the county office. Zhaoxue, the girl, was already waiting there, and when she saw the two coming back, her eyes were still looking at the two of them mischievously. Zhang Fan was very calm, but Ru Xue was shy for a while.

"I said sister, it's been so long, and I'm still so shy." Zhao Xue continued to laugh.

When Ru Xue heard her sister say this, she became even more shy, and her cheeks were so red that she seemed to be dripping blood. Zhang Fan was also very embarrassed on the side, but he couldn't think of what to say.

"Don't do that." Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Zhao Xue said, "It's not too early, go back quickly, it wouldn't be good if the uncle knew." ”

Ru Xue reacted at this time, and walked in amid the intertwined and reluctant eyes of Zhang Fan and the two. Before Zhao Xue entered the door, she also looked at Zhang Fan with different eyes, but Zhang Fan's heart was on Ru Xue, where could he notice.

After saying goodbye to Ru Xue, Zhang Fan returned home, and just after dinner, his mother said to him: "Fan'er, everything at home has been packed up, what are you going to do?" ”

"Mother, Master Zhang's letter asked me to go in April, and it's almost time now." Zhang Fan said.

"This mother knows, it's just, what should Ru Xue do?" Zhao also took this issue into account.

"I want to ......" Zhang Fan had actually thought about this question a long time ago, "I want to settle down in Beijing now and make plans." And if it is a close country to study, there must be no time, and it will be four years to go. ”

"Alas, Ru Xue, this kid." Zhao also sighed, "This is really bitter for him." ”

"Mother, I'll figure it out." Zhang Fan said, "I don't think Master Zhang is such an unreasonable person. ”

"That's all it can be." Zhao said.

On the second day, Zhang Fan came to the county government and discussed with Ma Xianling about going to the capital.

"Are you ready?" Ma Xianling asked.

"Everything is ready at home." Zhang Fan replied.

"In that case, I'll write to Mr. Zhang to see what arrangements he has." Ma Xianling said.

"So, thank you very much, little nephew." Zhang Fan said.

There is still some time to wait for a reply, and during this time, Zhang Fan cherishes every moment with Ru Xue even more, and both of them want to cherish this limited time.

After a few days, it was the fourth day of the fourth month of April, and Zhang Juzheng's letter had also arrived, and Ma County ordered to find Zhang Fan to come to the county office.

"Virtuous nephew, Lord Zhang's letter has arrived." Ma Xianling said.

"Oh, what do you say in your heart?" Zhang Fan said a little listlessly.

Ma Xian Ling naturally knew Zhang Fan's reason, he didn't care, and said: "Lord Zhang said in the letter that he wanted me to send some people to escort your mother and son on the road. ”

"Uncle Lao will have to worry about this." Zhang Fan thanked.

"The virtuous nephew doesn't have to be polite, besides, this is also what Master Zhang ordered." Ma Xian Ling said, "When you arrive at Baoding Mansion and go to the post station there, Master Zhang will send someone to wait for you there." ”

After the two discussed the matter, Ma Xianling saw that Zhang Fan still looked depressed, and said: "Virtuous nephew, do you still remember your ambitions when you go to Beijing this time?" ”

"Naturally, I remember that Zhang Fan also once swore that he would return the Ming Dynasty to a peaceful world, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment." Zhang Fan heard Ma Xianling ask, and naturally said.

"But the old man seems that you can't do anything if you go to the capital like this."

Ma Xianling's words can be said to be in one sentence, and Zhang Fan was also silent, he also knew that he couldn't do it now.

"I know what you're thinking." Ma Xianling began to persuade Zhang Fan, "It's just that you have to distinguish between priorities and priorities, Ru Xue will be with you after all, and no one can stop you." ”

Zhang Fan didn't speak, just silently listened to Ma County's words.

Ma Xianling continued, "What you have to do now is to focus on the matter in front of you with all your heart. Ma Xianling said.

Zhang Fan listened to Ma County's words, although he couldn't be completely relieved, but he also knew a lot, he bowed to Ma County's order, and said, "Thank you uncle for your teachings, my little nephew knows." ”

"Ru Xue is accompanied by Zhaoxue's girl, and there will be nothing wrong." Ma Xianling gave Zhang Fan a reassurance, "And the old man can be regarded as her uncle no matter what he says, and he will definitely take care of her." ”

"So, little nephew, rest assured." Zhang Fan said.

Zhang Fan walked out of the county office and was walking towards home with some distraction, but a voice stopped him.

"Brother-in-law."

There is only one person in the world who will call himself that, Zhang Fan turned around, and sure enough, Zhao Xue was standing not far away.

Zhang Fan came to Zhao Xue's side and didn't speak, Zhao Xue also looked at Zhang Fan silently, and then said, "Sister has something to say to you." ”

Zhang Fan came to the place where he and Ru Xue frequented, and saw her standing there alone, looking at the sky.

Zhang Fan hurriedly went over and said, "Ru Xue, why did you come here alone." ”

"Brother Fan, I'm ......" Ru Xue didn't dare to look at Zhang Fan's eyes, "You're leaving." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Fan responded.

"Brother Fan, I'm ......" Ru Xue wanted to say something.

"Ru Xue." Zhang Fan interrupted Ru Xue's words and said, "We have already decided to kiss." I promise you, I will marry you and never leave you. This is my lifelong commitment to you. ”

Chen Ruxue looked at Zhang Fan's firm face and nodded silently.

Zhang Fan returned home and told Zhao that everything was ready to go to the capital. Zhao also began to make final preparations.

On the second day, the people sent by the Ma County Order arrived at Zhang Fan's house, and Zhang Fan opened the door to see that he was still an acquaintance, it was Wang Degui, who had been responsible for guarding himself when he went out with the army.

Zhang Fan was very surprised: "Degui, aren't you the defender of Ningxia Wei, what?" ”

"My lord, oh, I should be called Zhang Xianggong now." Wang Degui said with a smile, "Now I am walking around here with someone, listening to Lord Wang's instructions to come and talk to Ma County, and hearing about Zhang Xianggong's matter, I will find someone to go back and ask Lord Wang for this errand, and Lord Wang agreed immediately." In addition, I told Ma County Ling that I know you, and Ma County Ling felt that it was a good thing to have an acquaintance to escort him, so he agreed. ”

"That's for you." Zhang Fan also likes this honest man.

"I heard that Zhang Xianggong is married!" Wang Degui said suddenly.

"Not bad."

"Congratulations." Wang Degui said, "When will I ask the prime minister for a glass of wine." ”

Zhang Fan also said happily: "When I get to Baoding, I will definitely invite you to have a drink." Both of them laughed as they spoke, after all, men who have experienced life and death together are emotionally incomparable.

"In that case, I'm thankful for that." Wang Degui said, "I heard that Xianggong's whole family is going to move to the capital, brothers, come and help." As he spoke, he beckoned the soldiers behind him to help Zhang Fan and Zhao move things.

Zhao is still the same as when he moved last time, his things have already been packed up in an orderly manner, but Zhang Fan's box full of books still doesn't let anyone else move, even Zhang Fan can't, he still moved to the car by himself.

This time, Ma Xian Ling took care of the Zhao family and found a carriage. Zhang Fan put his mother in the carriage, but he didn't get up.

Zhang Fan's neighbors all came to see them off, and even the Ma County Order came, although Zhang Fan greeted them with a smile, he was a little disappointed in his heart, and the person he wanted to see the most had not yet appeared.

A few people walked out of the city gate and slowly walked eastward, and Zhang Fan did walk back step by step. Finally, Zhang Fan saw it. I saw Zhaoxue pulling a figure to the city gate panting. Although the person Zhao Xue was pulling was wearing a green cloth dress and covering his head with a headscarf, Zhang Fan recognized it at a glance that it was his fiancée.

Chen Ruxue looked at the departing Ailang, although she was disappointed in her heart, she didn't show it, but looked at her with blessings and love in her eyes.

"Goodbye, Ru Xue, remember what I said, I will definitely marry you and never leave you, this is the promise of my Zhang Fan's life." Zhang Fan looked at Ru Xue and said silently in his heart.

Chen Ruxue seemed to hear Zhang Fan's heartfelt words and nodded silently.

"Zhang Xianggong, what are you looking at?" Wang Degui on the side noticed Zhang Fan's abnormality and asked.

"It's nothing, I just want to see more of this place where I've lived for almost twenty years." Zhang Fan said casually.

"yes, it's hard to leave home." Wang Degui said with empathy, "However, I heard that there are many novelties in the capital. I heard General Liu say that although he had been to the capital that year, he said......"

Zhang Fan listened to Wang Degui talking on the side, but he was still thinking about that figure in his heart, knowing that the city wall of Anhua County was gradually moving away, Zhang Fan seemed to be able to see Ru Xue watching him there.
