After the completion of the martyr's cemetery, the matter in Jiaozhou finally came to an end, Liu Fan's rule in Jiaozhou was completely stabilized, there was no longer a force to resist in Jiaozhou, and Liu Fan's wedding was also put on the agenda.

Liu Fan was in a dilemma about who to marry as his wife, originally according to Liu Fan's idea, marrying Zhang Yao as his first wife was a sure thing, but with the occurrence of various misunderstandings, Liu Fan hesitated a little, and after nearly half a year of contact, Liu Fan's feelings for Tian Shuying, a beautiful, intelligent, versatile, and empathetic girl, deepened, and Liu Fan was even more difficult to choose. He really couldn't bear to make such a girl sad and sad about this.

Under the entanglement, Liu Fan decided to ask Xiaozhu Xiaohe's opinion, the status of the two women determined that it was impossible for the two of them to participate in the competition between Zhang Yao and Tian Shuying, plus the two women were the first to follow Liu Fan, and their feelings were also very deep, Liu Fan also wanted to listen to their opinions, show respect, and also give them a reassurance. That night, Liu Fan lay on the bed, gently hugged the two girls and whispered, "Zhu'er!" Horr! The two of you have been getting along well with Yao'er Shuying for the past six months, who do you think is better for the master to marry? ”

When Xiaozhu heard Liu Fan's words, he pouted lightly, "Master!" Although the two of us know our status and don't expect you to marry us as a wife, you can't say it to your face! It's so hurtful, it's good! ”

Liu Fan took a look, gently scraped Xiaozhu's nose, and said with a smile, "It seems that our bamboo is a little jealous!" Don't worry, you two are the earliest women who followed me Liu Fan, how can I let you be wronged! As soon as this wedding is over, I will tell you to marry and give you an identity! Now I want to hear your opinions, sir, to see who you think is better, and let you choose for yourself, so that you will not be wronged in the future. ”

Xiaozhu was very disdainful when he heard this, and said, "I will say something good!" We all know who the master is for such a long time! Hum! Since the master asked, then I'll tell you about it! Actually! I think it's more appropriate to Sister Shuying, you see, she is not only the sister of the imperial concubine but also the mediator personally protected by His Majesty, and Tian Guozhang has a lot of power in the imperial court and even in Jiangnan, plus she is beautiful and beautiful, and she has the demeanor of a royal lady, so it can be said that she can go to the hall and the kitchen, which is too suitable to be the wife of the master! ”

Liu Fan nodded with a smile, but did not say anything, and instead asked Xiaohe, "What do you think, He'er?" Any thoughts? ”

Xiaohe gently stroked Liu Fan's face, and said softly, "Actually, the slave maid thinks that Sister Yao'er is more suitable, now the identity of the master is different from the past, and marriage is not only his own business, but also related to the survival of hundreds of thousands of people in Jiaozhou and more than 20,000 soldiers of the Broken Army." The core of the master's current power is the Broken Army, and most of the soldiers of the Broken Army are from Shandong, or even from Jiaozhou, of course, they hope that Sister Yao'er, who is a native of Jiaozhou, can become your wife. You will also need to marry Sister Yao'er to appease the officers and soldiers of the Broken Army, which will be more beneficial to your rule. ”

Xiaohe's words made Liu Fan fall into contemplation, in fact, in terms of heart, Liu Fan was still more inclined to Zhang Yao, but Liu Fan also had to consider the attitude of Chongzhen and Tian Chou, and after thinking for a long time, Liu Fan sighed, "I originally wanted you to give me ideas, but I didn't expect that even the two of you are stubborn, and there is some truth in what you say, now I don't know what to do, master!" Alas! Let's talk to the two of them tomorrow in person! ”

Xiaohe grabbed Liu Fan's hand and said warmly, "Hmm! No matter what, we all support the master's decision, and I believe that Sister Shuying and Sister Yao'er will also respect the master's choice! ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Fan found Zhang Yao and Tian Shuying, who were busy, and said, "Yao'er! Sookyoung! I think it's time for us to have an open and honest conversation! ”

Without waiting for the two to react, Liu Fan led one person to the study with one hand, pressed the two on the chair, squatted in front of the two and held their hands, and said with some pain, "I have thought about it for a long time in the past few days, I originally wanted to marry the two of you together, but then I thought about it, I am happy, but it is extremely unfair to you." I can't give you a complete love, and if I do, you'll lose even a complete wedding. After thinking about it for a long time, I gave up on the idea. But what makes me even more painful now is that I can't choose, and whoever I choose will hurt the other side, and I really don't know what to do! The more Liu Fan spoke, the more uncomfortable he became, looking at the beautiful faces of the two girls, he was a little choked up for a while.

Looking at Liu Fan's painful appearance, the two women were a little overwhelmed, and they were also worried and looking forward to this matter in the past few days, and even complained about Liu Fan's indecision in their hearts, but now seeing Liu Fan's true feelings, all that is left is full of guilt. They never imagined that one day, there would be men who would be painful and entangled because of such a thing, and they would respect them so much.

The two women glanced at each other, and they both saw the happiness and guilt in each other's eyes, and when they wanted to speak, Liu Fan said, "Now things can't drag on, no matter how we decide, we can't escape the shackles of secular vision and etiquette, your status, your descendants, concubines, and the inheritance of your descendants, these are all things that people care about, and at the same time, this is what the three of us can't escape." To tell you the truth, my hometown is overseas, which is a little different from the current tradition of the Ming Dynasty, and I don't pay too much attention to these things, and I don't want you to get caught up in the struggle for power. Now I want to say to you from the bottom of my heart, even if I, Liu Fan, will be a supreme minister in the future, and I will be a marquis and worship the prime minister. You don't have to worry about the inheritance in the future, whether it is a concubine or a descendant, it will not have much impact. I will also make proper arrangements for them, and the struggle for power will not let it happen!

I can't decide what to do now! It's up to you to decide! Whatever choice you make, I will choose to respect! Can I give you three days and give me the results after three days? ”

Liu Fan's words have reached this level, and the two of them are not easy to refuse, so they have to nod and agree. Liu Fan saw that the two girls agreed, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said when he heard the words: "Okay! Then I'll go to the barracks to deal with military affairs first, and you guys will discuss it slowly! With that, he turned around and left, leaving the space to the second daughter!

Liu Fan, who had been busy all day in the evening, returned to the garrison mansion, and before he could have a cup of tea, the two girls came together and told Liu Fan that they had finally decided that his wife was Zhang Yao! Tian Shuying is second.
