It was already dark, and neither of them had lanterns, so they could only move forward in the dark, and the speed could not go fast. There are no shops selling lamps and candles in this area, even if you have martial arts, in this dark night, your heart is a little weak. The hands of the two were tightly clasped, supporting each other and moving forward slowly, Xue Sufang walked for a while and suddenly said:

"Retreat, do you think that if Miss Zhang sees us like this, will she kill me?"

"Probably there's a better chance of killing me, you can take advantage of this opportunity to run away."

"Wrong, you don't know the eldest lady. She has a deep affection for you, and the lives of the two of you are connected, and she can't live if you die. So no matter how much she hates, she will only find women to spread fire, and she will not blame men. Woman...... It's that pathetic. ”

She smiled self-deprecatingly, "Fortunately, at this time, she should be eating snacks in her own embroidery building, in the hot house, embroidering under the lamp, and will not walk at night like us." The night ban in Jingshi is not strict, don't arrest us, but we can't hide it. ”

Fan Jin said: "Don't worry, the Jingshi usually has a strict night ban, but now is the year of Dabi, and it can't be strict if you want to." There are so many foreign movers, all of them are the roots and seedlings of the prime minister, they go to the streets at night, how dare they be soldiers? That's what the night ban is like during this time, and I won't check it seriously. ”

After a few more steps, he sighed. "Qingqing, I will do the work and persuade her to accept you little by little, it will not be a simple matter, but I will not stop doing it because of difficulties. You'll have to give me some time...... I also know that saying this is very similar to the words of those veteran people in the fat powder array to deceive ignorant girls, and I don't believe it myself, but it is true. ”

"Don't say it, I understand your difficulties, and I'm not unreasonable. It's not good for you to fall out, and I'm even worse. As I said, Miss Zhang is fighting a famine with you at most, and she will kill me. It doesn't matter how much time it takes, I ...... Waiting for you. ”

Xue Sufang muttered the last two words. After walking a few more steps, he asked, "What's going on with this brocade guard today?" Doesn't that mean they don't dare to come looking for trouble? ”

"It's not good to say, Feng Bangning may be idiotic to such an extent and take the initiative to come over to help me brush up my reputation, this possibility does exist. But judging from his reaction in the bargain, there are two possibilities. Either he's an ace actor, or he really doesn't know, I think the latter is more likely. ”

"That'...... Who else is going to arrest you? ”

"Who knows, maybe it's just an errand to curry favor with the Feng family, or maybe there are other plans. Jingshi is so big, there will always be some weirdos who I encounter, this is also a part of life, no way. However, after today's incident, those people will always be vigilant and will not do similar things again, otherwise, they will not be comfortable finding themselves. Besides, even if someone really comes, I'm not afraid, both of us will be easy to fight, and if we fight with them, we may not be able to run if we can't beat them, right? ”

knew that what Fan Jin said was a joke, but Xue Sufang still felt a trace of excitement in her heart. At this moment, she even really hoped that a group of ill-intentioned people would launch a siege on them, and then she and Fan Jin would just kill them, escape from the capital division, and go to a place where no one could find them. There is only one other and no one else, so they stay together for a lifetime.

She thought so, in this dark night, facing the biting cold wind, a bright smile bloomed on her face.

After walking for a while, I finally saw the lights faintly in front of me, and finally a small shop selling lamps and candles appeared. She suddenly said, "Retreat,...... We bought lanterns, and I think it's very comfortable to walk like this...... Let's just walk around tonight, okay? ”

On the night of the fifth day of the second lunar month, the two faced the cold north wind and strolled through the streets of Beijing, which was the first official date between the two. In Fan Jin's opinion, such a date is terrible, there is neither food nor wine, and it is impossible to even find a comfortable big bed to lie down. But in Xue Sufang's opinion, this night was more comfortable than any night in the Jiangning Youlan Pavilion, and the body around the body was like a spring breeze, and it was indescribably comfortable.

Whispers and laughter were heard in the wind, adding a bit of life to the lonely night. No matter what the future holds, this night is enough for Xue Sufang to miss for a lifetime.

And just when Fan Jin and Xue Sufang were waiting for Hou Shouyong in the cheap shop, in the Zhang Mansion in Shamao Hutong, a war between father and daughter had just started.

In the inner house, Zhang Juzheng, the owner of the house, was sitting on the Taishi chair, with ginseng tea in his hand, his face was not angry or happy, and he couldn't see what he thought. Opposite him, Zhang Shunqing knelt on the cold ground, with no expression on his face, just kneeling and not saying a word. The beautiful Persian orchid was sweating profusely, and spit out a few words in her native language from time to time, and she didn't know which one to advise.

Look at this and look at that, walking around anxiously, and said in half-baked Chinese: "Master...... Don't blame Miss, it must have been forced by that man...... It's not Mademoiselle's fault. ”

"No, I didn't force me to retreat, I did it voluntarily." Zhang Shunqing said word by word: "I am willing to serve him, who the lord (Note 1) wants to punish, and my daughter can't stop me, but the truth is the truth, and you can't reverse black and white and confuse right and wrong." ”

Originally, Zhang Shunqing's return to the house was a happy event, but in order to celebrate the safe return of his daughter, Zhang Juzheng even left the duty house early and handed over the work of the cabinet to the second assistant Lu Tiaoyang. When he saw that his daughter did not leave any flaws on her face, and her beauty was better than before, Zhang Juzheng was also overjoyed. But when the father and daughter narrated the situation in Jiangning, and Zhang Shunqing truthfully told the fact that he had committed to Fan Jin, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Between father and daughter, there is already a tense situation that is about to come.

Zhang Shunqing is already arrogant, and she only occasionally bows down in front of Fan Jin and becomes a little woman. Then he said everything, and then he knelt on the ground and said nothing, and let his father let it go.

The Persian Ji Yan named Aguli is not a few years older than Zhang Shunqing, but he cares for her very much, and is busy with the care of the eldest lady, for fear that the eldest lady will eat the family law. I even want to ask Lang Zhong to take the pulse of Miss to see if she is pregnant. In her opinion, if she has a grandson, maybe Zhang Juzheng will be merciful, so that she will not die twice or leave the child without a father.

This kind of thing can happen to everyone in this era, if you meet some talkative parents, it is not impossible to find a pick-up man to marry her daughter. But if you encounter someone who values face more than the sky, you may do something to kill your daughter to maintain the style. Although Aguli believes that Zhang Juzheng is not a pedantic person, the prime minister's face is very important, and he is really not sure what he will do.

Although Zhang Juzheng didn't do anything at the moment, this is like the gathering of dark clouds before a thunderstorm, the sky is getting more and more gloomy, the so-called calm is just an illusion, once it happens, it will be a situation where thunder and lightning are combined and the sky is cracking. Aguli has even decided that if Zhang Juzheng really wants to kill him, he will pounce on Zhang Shunqing, hoping that for the sake of his service to Zhang Juzheng, he can protect Miss by the way.

Looking at his beloved daughter in front of him, Zhang Juzheng finally spoke:

"You don't have to speak for him. I believe that he didn't force you to do anything, because he is a smart man, and from Ling Yangshan's clip protecting him, he can see that he is a shrewd character. So he won't be stupid enough to be strong on you, and that's not necessary. You are in a foreign country, you have no relatives, you have never been far away, and you don't know the sinister hearts of people. As long as he uses some rhetoric to you, you will naturally treat him as a good person, let him take what he wants, is this still rude? ”

"Fan Jin's name, in fact, I have heard it more than once. From a whip in Guangdong, to Qionglin in kindergartens, to Cinchona Fang, and this time smallpox. I admit that he is a very talented and capable person, and he may be a good match in terms of talent and appearance. If he is willing to escort you back to Beijing safely and come to the door to propose marriage in an open and honest manner, even if his family is poor, I will take care of this family affair and let you grow old together to be a good couple. But he had too many thoughts! actually came up with the method of marrying first and then forcing me to recognize this son-in-law. Joke, what kind of person is the old man, how can he be deceived by him? Even if my daughter is pregnant, she will not worry about getting married! Qing'er rest assured, Dad will find you a talented and beautiful Ruyi Langjun, a real good match, who can really take care of you for a lifetime. ”

"My daughter thanked my lord."

Zhang Shunqing didn't argue or protest anything, just knelt there and thanked him, and then knelt there like a wood carved clay sculpture. Zhang Juzheng was also stunned for a moment, "Don't you want to ask, what will the old man do with the silver apprentice Fan Jin?" ”

"The lord has his own rules, and my daughter doesn't dare to say more."

"What about marriage? You're not going to say anything either? Or do you also see that Fan Jin is a wolf and a wolf, and he tricks you into just climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix in order to soar, which is definitely not your good match? ”

My daughter didn't think about it much, and she didn't think she needed to think about it. The major matters of marriage are decided by the parents, and the high hall is in the next life, and the master is in charge, and the daughter has nothing to say, and everything is at the command of the master. ”

She replied like a robot, her tone and demeanor impeccable, and Aguli let out a long breath, as if she had thought too much. It's best to be so high and light now, as for how Fan Jin is, she didn't bother to ask.

Zhang Juzheng frowned, "Qing'er, knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's father, this is not something you should say." You are obviously afraid that you will be angry with Fan Jin for your father after refusing to get married, so you deliberately expressed your attitude like this, what do you think in your heart, say it quickly! ”

"The daughter's heart naturally can't be hidden from the master, no matter what she thinks, the master must be very clear, so why bother to say more. The daughter's heart has already given a retreat, if the lord wants to arrange a marriage for his daughter, whether it is an eighty-year-old man or a three-year-old naughty boy, the daughter will not dare to disobey. In that case, what's the use of asking? ”

"Confused! You brothers and sisters, my father always thought you were the most like me, but now I see that you are the stupidest one. Now is the year of Dabi, there are thousands of talents from various provinces who have entered Beijing, and there are many decent men and gentlemen with good looks among them, which are good matches, why only worry about that despicable villain! Do you know that all the methods he has for you are nothing more than the power of our family and your appearance! ”

"Master, the events of the day were voluntarily done by the daughter, and the daughter took the initiative, and the retreat was neither forced, nor did she use any means. Please check it out! ”

Zhang Juzheng's handsome face suddenly became extremely terrifying in an instant, once the minister in charge of the fate of the empire became angry, it was not something that an idler could bear. Aguli subconsciously pounced on Zhang Shunqing and shouted: "The eldest lady lost her mother when she was very young, please see that the master has mercy for the sake of the dead grandmother, and if you want to beat me, just beat me." ”

"Aguli, this is our father and daughter's business, you don't need to be a slave to take care of it. If the master wants to beat, he will beat, but even if he whips and sticks, he can't let his daughter reverse right and wrong! ”

Zhang Juzheng laughed angrily, and said with his finger: "Aguli, look, my daughter is talking now, does she look like a big woman?" You don't have to show a face with me, I ask you, if he is sincere to you, why doesn't he wait for marriage to do such things with you first? If you think about it, even if such a treacherous person gets married, how many days can you have a good time? Being a father can't protect you for a lifetime, and one day when you go to the official for your father to tell your old age, what will he do to you at that time? I'm afraid that all kinds of benefits today will come to naught, and it is possible to use punches and kicks against you! ”

The daughter believed that Fan Lang would not be like this, and that day in the smallpox village, Fan Lang sacrificed himself to save him, and his daughter rewarded him with an innocent body, that is, he knew that he and Fan Lang might not be able to dream together. No matter what, in the future, there will be these few days of husband and wife, although the daughter has no regrets about dying. ”

"Stubborn! You...... You've been fooled by that kid's sorcery! Since ancient times, infatuated women have a negative heart, you read a lot, think for yourself, how many good endings do women like you? Even if you hate me now, you can't be miserable for the rest of your life, at the mercy of a villain. You go back to the embroidery room, you don't have to worry about Fan Jin's affairs. As for you...... I will find you a husband who promises to be devoted to you, and it is for your own good as a father. Since ancient times, no parent will harm their children, and they will ...... in the future You will understand the painstaking work of being a father. ”

Zhang Shunqing didn't argue, only kowtowed, "My daughter does everything according to the master's orders." Immediately, Zhang Juzheng waved his hand and stood up, and walked out of the door. Looking at his daughter's back, Zhang Juzheng only felt a stirring pain in his heart. Knowing his daughter's father, he knows his daughter's temperament very well, and he is by no means a person who is at the mercy of others. She agreed so readily, just because she didn't want to be disobedient, and she knew that her decision could not be changed, but her heart must be extremely painful.

Thinking of her daughter's sad mood of breaking her liver and intestines, and then thinking about growing up, watching this pearl in her palm grow from a babbling naughty boy to a slim girl, in this process, her daughter's admiration for herself, and then to the sadness at the moment, and the indifference and alienation that can be imagined in the future, this imperial prime minister, Rao is usual means are ruthless, and he is ruthless, but his eyes are still moist at this time.

Ruthless may not be a true hero, who says that he is not a hero.

Daughter, sooner or later, you will understand the painstaking work of your father, and then you will be able to understand why your father is doing this. Even if you hate me for the rest of your life, I can't watch you fall into the hands of a villain who is bent on getting you, let alone watch you suffer for the rest of your life.

The love for his daughter, and the helplessness of having to arrange it this way at the moment, gradually turned into anger against Fan Jin, the culprit, and just when this Yuan Weng was about to use thunderbolt means to completely erase this madman from the world, Aguli ran in with a pale face. Persian Ji, who has always been neat, was embarrassed at this time, and when she entered the door, she tripped over the threshold and fell heavily in front of Zhang Juzheng, but she didn't care about crying out in pain, but said loudly: "Master, the big thing is not good, Miss vomited blood!" ”
