Looking at Xue Sufang's surprised expression, Fan Jin smiled and kissed her on the forehead. "Stupid. You don't want to think about what your husband does. Civil servant. If you don't even have this brain, how can you mix in the court, I'm afraid that I won't be sold early and help people make money. Seeing the slight knowledge, this is our ability to be a civil official, from the old man's refusal to respond to the father-in-law's title, I know that there is such a layer of thought. In fact, I thought I was good, but somehow, the old man didn't look down on me in his eyes, and he wanted you to marry someone else, and when I saw Xiao Changce, I must see clearly what he looks like, why is he so pleasing to the old man. ”

"Daddy...... Actually, I'm very satisfied with Xianggong. ”

Xue Sufang whispered: "This matter is not a matter of the father-in-law, but a matter of my father." Dad said that although Xianggong is not as good as Zheng Junmen, he is also a good official. The concubine's relatives are not among the six relatives in the first place, if you can respect him and give him face, and you are willing to eat with everyone in such a place and accompany everyone to suffer, you know that you are not that kind of bad official. I told Xianggong a lot of things again, and my father said that Jiangnan was blessed again, and I met a white bread man like Xianggong. Dad also said that he can't live with you and me, but he keeps his promise all his life and doesn't want to be a treacherous person......"

Xiao Changce and Xue Wenlong met in Yanghe, the two hit it off at first sight, and they were born and died together, and they saved each other's lives several times, and they became friends of life and death. Xiao Changce was the commander of the standard battalion when he supervised the barracks, and he had a lot of face in the barracks. When the Xue family first came, they had two lives, and this kind of place had a tradition of deception, thanks to Xiao Changce's protection, they were able to live here with peace of mind. As for the subsequent Xue Dynasty, he was respected by the people and was known as the saint of the earth, and he was inseparable from the protection of Xiao Changce at the beginning. After learning the news that Xiao Changce was the only seedling in the family and his wife died, Xue Chaoxian made the decision to give Xue Wuxu to Xiao Changce as his wife.

At this time, Xue Chaoxian naturally didn't know about Fan Jin's existence, nor did he know Xue Wu's situation. thought that when a woman entered the fangsi, there was only one end. When Xiao Changce didn't care about these and was willing to marry her, it was actually Xiao Changce who suffered. Besides, one is in Jiangnan and the other is in Xuanda, and it is not good to say when they can meet, but they just think that when they save enough fines and pay compensation to the imperial court, they can take their daughter back.

Xiao Changce took this illusory promise very seriously, regarded the Xue family as his own in-law, and called Xue Wenlong his brother-in-law. When he fought against the enemy, he worked even harder, desperately accumulating the first rank, only exchanging fifty taels of silver for a head, and when he had saved enough money, he ransomed Xue Wu from Jiangnan to Shanxi to marry.

Xue Chaoxian has made a promise all his life and has never broken his trust, in fact, in the past few years, he has been trying to find a way to go to Jiangnan to redeem his daughter. It's just that Xuanda is a remote place, and even if there is silver, it may not be able to do this. Besides, the Xue family's connections are limited, and it is difficult to really interfere in Jiangnan. This time Xue Wu came back, Xue Chaoxian seemed to be naturally an opportunity to fall from the sky, and it was God who was fulfilling this marriage.

"Dad almost knelt down and begged me just now, saying that he knew that doing this would be unfair to me and the eldest master, but he had never broken his promise in his life, and the Xiao family was also very pitiful. His family has been loyal for generations, and almost every generation of male soldiers has died on the battlefield fighting the Tartars. Dad said that such a person should not be extinct, but ...... But what does he have to do with me after he never stops? I don't know Xiao Changce, why should I marry him. ”

Fan Jin said: "What about Mei's? If your father really thinks Xiao Changce is so pitiful, why don't you let Mei marry him. ”

"I heard that it was because the ancestors of the Xiao and Mei families had a feud at the beginning, and they once taught their own children not to marry each other. They value Zu Xun, so it is impossible to marry Mei. ”

Xue Wu hugged Fan Jin tightly, as if he was afraid that as soon as he let go, the man would run away from him. From then on, I had to stay in Xuanda, live in this kind of room, smell the smell of dung, and eat rice grains mixed with sand and gravel. After more than ten years, his skin will no longer be white and tender, and he will become like those women in the kiln. She would rather be bullied by Zhang Shunqing dozens of times a day than want this fate.

"Dad also said that I am by the side of Xianggong, and I am always a concubine, and marrying Xiao Changce is the main room that Ming Media is marrying. For the ancestors of the Xue family, it can be regarded as having face. Dad has always been very majestic, and this is the first time he has begged me. Tomorrow he will tell Xianggong about these things. He also knew that this was too much to ask, so he would ......"

Xue Wu paused, and then reluctantly said: "I will give Mei's Geng post and marriage book to Xianggong." Originally, it was placed at my house, and my father said that it was given to my father-in-law. ”

"What is this, a change of horse? Trade your sister-in-law for you? ”

"That's it. Dad would rather give up his eldest brother's life and want his father-in-law to protect that Xiao Changce, that's what he thinks. Let your sister-in-law stay by your side and serve you, and change me out to marry Xiao Changce, this is the best of both worlds that my father wants. He said he'd tell you tomorrow that it's the best of both worlds. ”

"I don't want to hear what he said to me, I want to know what you mean."

"You just said that you are a civil official, why do you bother to ask now. I don't want to stay in this kind of place for the rest of my life and marry a military man. It doesn't matter if you are a wife or do anything. Dad knew that he couldn't force me now, so he didn't say anything, but I could see the disappointment in his eyes, and he felt a little uncomfortable. Maybe I shouldn't come back this time, everyone lives their own lives, and it's good for everyone. But what Dad wants to tell you tomorrow, don't be angry, just give me a face. ”

Fan Jin patted her gently, "Not angry? How could I not be angry! My women are going to be left behind, it's no wonder I'm not angry! If I had known this, my ten stone of white rice would not have given you a field. If you are smart enough to know how to choose, otherwise I will tie you up and take you away, and I will never ask about your family. It's true, it's good to embarrass my son-in-law, I still want to beat mandarin ducks, I want to be beautiful! It's my people who enter the door, and who can take you away without me? ”

Xue Wu listened to Fan Jin's words, not angry but happy, "If Xianggong wants to tie me, he can tie me up at any time." Don't you like to play the game of Capture the Woman? When I get home, I'll play with you a few times. Or...... Let's go now, shall we? ”

Fan Jin laughed, "What is this, elopement?" ”

"That's right, it's elopement!"

"In that case, then what are you waiting for, waiting for your father to beat someone with a stick, or to bring someone to arrest us? Run! ”

In the night, a man and a woman sneaked out of the courtyard, and then ran hand in hand in the moonlight, bursts of laughter drifting in the wind. The accompanying servants were so helpless by the wayward proprietor that they had to take care of the aftermath for the master, and beat to death the housekeepers who might disturb them to play romance one after another, so as not to disturb them. In the shadows, an old man sighed in despair, and walked towards the small courtyard with a hunched body. The pressure of breaking the promise made it difficult for his waist to be firm, his gait staggered, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old overnight.

Inside the yamen of the procuratorate.

Zhang Shunqing raised her eyebrows and patted her palm lightly on the table. "How can this be true? I took someone away from my Fan's house and asked me if I had this main room? When this is a place, you can come and go as you want, and there are no rules? Xue Sufang's monthly routine for this month was deducted, and the husband was not allowed to make up for her privately. Xia He, you go and send a message to Zhang Tiejian, no one from the Xue family is allowed to enter the door, and she is not recognized as a relative. Xianggong, let's pack up our things and go back to Datong, whether Xue Wenlong is dead or alive is up to Zheng Luo to decide, we don't care! ”

Looking at her serious face, Fan Jin couldn't help but want to laugh, Xue Wu, who was tied up with red silk for half the night last night, was also full of smiles although he was deducted his monthly money. Zhang Shunqing glared at the two of them, "What are you laughing at!" Do you think I'm going to be eager to drive Xue Wu away? I am the daughter-in-law of the Fan family, so naturally I have to consider everything for the Fan family and the husband, and the woman of our family is married to a standard battalion soldier? Do you want to save face? Besides, on weekdays, I am strict with my housekeeper, for the good of everyone, not to bully anyone. Not to allow outsiders to bully our own heads, who dares to take us seriously, I will be the first to disagree. ”

Fan Jin took her hand, "I know that my good lady is not a vinegar jar, but you are just joking because of your sisterly affection on weekdays." I am very happy that you are like this, and everyone in the inner house gets along, so I can rest assured. However, the affairs of the Xue family can't be ignored, after all, he is Wu'er's eldest brother, how can he watch him lose his head. I will let Tie Jian transfer the prisoner and bring him back to Datong for trial. The walls here are about to collapse, if the Tartars really come, it is really not safe, I am fine, the lady can't stand in danger. ”

Zhang Shunqing shook lightly twice, and motioned to Xue Wu with his eyes, "Someone is here, and I don't know how to check it." Xue Wu, you are not allowed to laugh! Last night shouldn't have been your day, I haven't settled accounts with you yet. Since Xianggong has spoken, your eldest brother's head will be saved, but that Xiao Changce should still kill it. lest your father have any thoughts. ”

Fan Jin said: "Whether you kill or not, you have to see them first, and I want to ask them something." Zhao Xianzhong, Zheng Luo, and Old Man Xue, everyone's words represent their own positions, and they are mixed with other things, and it is not so easy to distinguish whether it is true or false. It doesn't hurt to ask a few more people. ”

Zheng Luo did not mean to be deliberately embarrassed in this case, and as soon as the procuratorate's official affairs arrived, the governor's palace immediately released him. By the end of noon, the people had already been taken to the procuratorate. Zhang Shunqing and Xue Wuzang secretly looked out behind the screen of the procuratorate, and when they saw Xiao Changce walk in, Zhang Shunqing smiled at Xue Wu, stretched out his hand, and the latter lowered his head in frustration and had nothing to say. With Zhang Shunqing's personality, I am afraid that this matter can ridicule her for several years, and she is powerless.

She didn't want to rush to see her eldest brother, so she turned to the inner hall with Zhang Shunqing. Zhang Shunqing took Xue Wu's hand and said in her ear: "Xianggong is going to sleep with the Liang family tonight, you go to my room and bring the silk you and Xianggong used yesterday, and I also want to see what kind of trick it is." Otherwise, I'll tell them what kind of lord you almost married. Saying this, Zhang Shunqing couldn't help but smile again, making Xue Wu blushing with shame.

Strictly speaking, Xiao Changce is not ugly, but a standard martial artist's appearance. The black and red faces are tall and strong, and they stand there like a black tower. But the scars on his face, although they record his great martial arts, are enough to make women daunted. Compared with the white-faced scholar with a neat crown, he naturally makes a judgment.

In contrast, Xue Wenlong is a prominent character, his facial features are somewhat similar to Xue Wu, although he is stunning among women, and he is also first-class handsome among men. Although he is locked in a prison cell, he has not been tortured, and his eyebrows are still full of heroism, and at a glance, he can see that he is an excellent martial artist.

Fan Jin looked at the file transferred from Zheng Luo, and there was nothing to say about the wine in the case. On the contrary, there is a thick stack of documents recording the exploits of the two. In the past few years, the two of them jumped on the horse, led the standard camp to eliminate a large number of horse thieves, and clashed with the invading small tribes and rangers many times, and the battle was brilliant. Not long ago, with hundreds against hundreds, he wiped out a Tartar cavalry that was ravaging the border areas and killing countless people, and his own side only suffered more than 60 casualties. This can be called an unprecedented victory at the current border pass.

Zheng Luo sent such a manuscript, and everyone could guess the intention. Fan Jin looked at the records, then at the two of them, and found that the two of them had firm eyes, and there was no fear or despair on their faces. He asked in a deep voice: "This official can tell you that someone went to the procuratorate to beat the drum and voice grievances and sue for you." Now I want to hear the truth from your lips what happened that day. ”

"It's the plum blossom old nine." Xiao Changce muttered in a low voice, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Master, how is the complainant now?" ”

"Someone wanted to sell her to be a happy household, but she was lucky and ran to the yamen of the procuratorate, and now she is very safe in Datong. But what happens in the future depends on your performance. That's why I ask you to tell the truth. ”

Xiao Changce said to Xue Wenlong: "Uncle, I just said that the shrew of Meihua Laojiu must be able to think of a way, what do you think, has it been fulfilled?" You can rest easy this time. Sir, you don't have to ask, I did everything. That little girl's skin is what I slept on, and it's none of Wenlong's business. If you want to kill or chop, just come at me alone! The woman who sued was his wife, and the eldest lord let him out and reunited them as husband and wife. ”

Xue Wenlong hurriedly said: "Don't listen to him, sir, those things were done by villains, and it is not about Brother Xiao." Brother Xiao is a famous brave man in the barracks, and now is the time to use people, please let the eldest master let him go, so that Brother Xiao can kill a few more Tartars, and the matter of the lawsuit will be borne by the villain. ”

Fan Jin looked at the two, "You two are rushing to die for each other, very heroic, right?" Amazing, right? In the eyes of this official, it is just two words, nonsense! If you talk about righteousness like this, the result is to make yourself lose your head and make others laugh in secret. Brains like yours are only worthy of charging into battle for the rest of your life, and you will never be able to strategize. Isn't it just that someone has set up a game for you and harmed you? With this official here, will he continue to harm you? Joke! Tell me about the situation at that time, I have my own official to call the shots for you, and if you two want to die, let me die on the battlefield and fulfill your wishes! ”
