Chapter 227: The Red Bridge Enters the Door

Zhu Yunwen chased after the little maid with a worried face, and didn't care about Xiao Fan, who was so angry that his face turned pale, that he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Fan took a long time to react.

What kind of world is this! When did Zhu Yunwen become so shameless?

Suppressing his doubts and anger, Xiao Fan flicked his sleeves and said loudly: "The honor guard enters the city!" ”

The guard of honor was opened, and the mighty swept into the Beijing Division, the yamen of Tianfu had already heard the news, and hurriedly sent out the yamen to open the way for the guard of honor, the quiet whip sounded three times, the gong sounded melodious, the officials and people in the city, the soldiers and so on, saw the guard of honor return to Beijing, and retreated to both sides of the road to hold their breath, and the group held high the deacon card and various flags and flags to go to the governor's mansion of the five armies on their own, Xiao Fan's car continued to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites on the periphery of the palace, and exchanged a few polite words with the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and then handed over the letter and the office, and reported to the officials of the Ministry of Rites that he was ordered to enter the palace in the afternoon.

Then Xiao Fan led Cao Yi and other Jinyi Wei pro-army to a trip to Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Si Yamen, Shangguan traveled back to Beijing, and the subordinates in the Yamen were courteous and courteous, there was no lack of left-behind servants and thousands of households like a tide of singing praises, everyone said that they commanded the adults to patrol Beiping, and made the first contribution to the battle with the Tartars, which greatly increased the prestige of Jinyiwei, this merit is great, the reward of the Son of Heaven is close at hand, and the addition of officials and knights will be to Yunyun immediately.

Xiao Fan smiled and dealt with the past one by one, but he had some plans in his heart.

There is no need to add officials, the power in his hands is really visible and tangible, although the commander of Jinyiwei is not qualified to go to the court to stand on duty, but it is the private institution of the Son of Heaven, and its status in the court is transcendent, and the power in its hands is beyond the reach of those officials of the six ministries and nine secretaries, and more importantly, Jinyiwei is directly responsible to the emperor, and the commander is a matter of course the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and the court is an official, and Xiao Fan has understood the truth of "leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade" very thoroughly.

The official does not have to be promoted, but Jin Jue is acceptable, his own Cheng Yi Bo is still Zhu Yuanzhang, he awarded his title is nothing more than the dignity of the heavenly family, so that he can be worthy of his two granddaughters, this title caused the dissatisfaction of the Manchu Dynasty at that time, but because of Zhu Yuanzhang's iron-blooded methods, no one in the ministers dared to speak out against it.

This matter has been blocked in Xiao Fan's heart for a long time, and he has always felt quite unhappy.

Now that he is returning to Beijing, Xiao Fan has a lot of confidence, if the Son of Heaven promotes his title again, he feels that he can accept it calmly, because he went out to Beiping this time, led the lone army into the grassland, and made the first contribution to the fight against the Tartars, and he deserved to be promoted to the knighthood.

Cheng Yibo should also rise, Cheng Yihou is much easier to read.

After handing over all official duties, more than a dozen personal guards escorted Xiao Fan, Zhang Hongqiao, Taixu, Zhang Sanfeng and Fang Xiaoru back to Xiao's mansion.

Fang Xiaoru was originally ordered to leave Shu alone and enter Beijing, and he had not settled in Beijing before, so it stands to reason that the Ministry of Rites should arrange for him to live in the official post and wait for the summons of the Son of Heaven, but the old man Fang was used to following Xiao Fan, so of course he followed Xiao Fan home.

Walking slowly and leisurely all the way, the five of them talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the door of Xiaofu.

Seeing the words "Cheng Yi Bo Mansion" hanging high above the gatehouse, Zhang Hongqiao, who was still smiling just now, suddenly became nervous, twisting the corners of his clothes crampedly like tender onions, and his snow-white teeth bit his lower lip tightly, looking frightened and scared.

Xiao Fan looked at her with a smile, patted her back gently, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, the two ladies in the family are very kind, and they will never show you their faces, I don't lie to you." ”

Xiao Fan's comfort melted the snow like a spring breeze, Zhang Hongqiao finally calmed down, smiled at Xiao Fan, and said softly: "Xianggong, after entering the door of the Xiao family, the concubine will be a member of your Xiao family from now on, whether it is good or bad, the concubine will not regret it." ”

Xiao Fan laughed: "Don't worry, you won't regret it." My Xiao Fan's woman will only be happy for the rest of her life, and she will never make you feel trusted. ”

There were six brocade-clothed soldiers standing at the gate of Xiao Mansion, and when they saw Xiao Fan and his party coming, the six of them showed surprise on their faces, and hurriedly bowed down to greet Xiao Fan.

When he stepped into the gate first, the sharp-eyed subordinate saw the master of the Xiao family coming back, and suddenly froze, and then ran quickly to the backyard, shouting happily: "The master has returned home!" Old Fairy Zhang has returned home! The lord has brought a girl home! The lord also brought a distinguished guest back to his house......"

While shouting, the subordinate blinked and ran away.

It's not a taste to be too empty, so he snorted fiercely and said angrily: "What do you mean by this guy?" Listen to his tone, you all came back safely, and I will die outside alone? ”

Xiao Fan snorted: "You are embarrassed to say, remember how you left the Xiao family?" You burned down half of the Xiao family's house and had to escape, can you expect others to give you a good look? ”

Taixu was suffocated, and then pointed at Zhang Sanfeng with his hand, and said angrily: "He also set fire!" ”

Zhang Sanfeng raised his eyebrows, looked up to the sky and laughed, and then kicked out like lightning, and flew out upside down with a scream, sticking to the wall like a New Year's painting and couldn't tear it off.

Flicking his sleeves fiercely, Zhang Sanfeng scolded viciously: "Cheap! ”

Everyone looked at Taixu sympathetically, then chose to ignore it, and went into the backyard.

Entering the backyard, Xiao Fan only felt a flower in front of him, and a petite and pretty figure flickered, and jumped into his arms like lightning.

"Xianggong...... Woo, Xianggong, you're finally back! The thrush was buried in his arms, and he cried profusely.

Xiao Fan hugged her with his hands, patted her back gently, and said softly: "I'm back, does Madame miss me?" ”

Thrush choked in his arms and nodded vigorously.

"Come, I haven't seen you for so long, let Xianggong take a good look at you, see if my wife has grown taller and fat......"

Xiao Fan pushed her away slightly, carefully looking at the thrush.

After leaving for nearly two months, Thrush has grown a lot taller, and her thin figure has plumped a lot, she is wearing a dark red thin shirt, covered with a button armor of the same color, her hair is coiled into a cloud bun, her small breasts have protruded a lot, and her eyebrows gradually exude a woman's charming style.

"My little thrush has grown up and become beautiful...... Xiao Fan praised from the bottom of his heart.

The thrush looked at Xiao Fan with teary eyes, and sobbed: "...... Xianggong, you have turned black. ”

"Sunshine?" Xiao Fan bared his teeth and smiled at her.

The thrush burst into tears and laughed, and then cried again: "Xianggong, I didn't do my duty as a lady......"

Xiao Fan was taken aback: "What's wrong?" ”

"Grandpa Taoist priest burned down our house...... Woo, I didn't have time to stop him. "The thrush cried very sadly.

Xiao Fan was immediately relieved and said, "It's okay, I've already helped you punish him." ”

"How did Xianggong punish him?"

“…… He's stuck to the wall and hasn't been torn off yet. ”

Thrush thought about it and felt satisfied, so she smiled with tears in her eyes.

As if no one was around, he hugged the thrush for a while, and saw a crimson figure flash in the corner of his eye, and Jiang Du also threw himself into Xiao Fan's arms with a full body of incense.

"Xianggong...... You're finally back! Jiang Du cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain.

Xiao Fan comforted as usual: "Okay, Xianggong is back, and the Taoist grandfather is pasted on the wall, and the revenge is avenged, and everyone is happy." If he dares to burn down our house in the future, he will be the end. ”

“…………”

“…………”

The husband and wife reunited, and the three of them hid a lot of love words and lovesickness in their hearts and were eager to confide, but Thrush and Jiang were women's families after all, and it was inconvenient to be too out of shape in front of everyone, so they hurriedly wiped their tears and straightened their slightly messy clothes.

In the blink of an eye, the second daughter saw Zhang Hongqiao hiding behind Xiao Fan.

The two girls looked at her suspiciously, then looked at each other.

"Xianggong, who is she?" Thrush, as the eldest lady of the Xiao family, took the lead in asking questions.

Rao is Xiao Fan is thick-skinned, but he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, rubbed his hands and smiled awkwardly: "She, hehe, she...... Don't you see that she's a woman? ”

"Of course I saw it, and then what?" The two girls said in unison.

And then ...... With such sharp eyes, you must have seen that she is a beautiful woman, right? ”

“…………”

Zhang Sanfeng and Fang Xiaoru on the side looked at this scene expressionlessly, Zhang Sanfeng suddenly lowered his voice and said to the other party: "Poor Dao bet ten taels of silver, the Hongqiao girl will definitely be in danger when she enters the door of the Xiao family, and the two county lords of the Xiao family will not treat her badly in the future." ”

Fang Xiaoru was dissatisfied: "How can a person who is a person outside the Taoist become a gambler? This is not what the gentleman did, the son said: Those who lose the covenant are rare, and the son said: ............"

Zhang Sanfeng looked him up and down with an unkind expression, looking at the appearance of the old immortal, there seemed to be an urge to kick Fang Xiaoru on the wall.

Fang Xiaoru quickly changed his words: "...... I bet ten taels of silver on a fight with them in a pillar of incense. ”

Zhang Sanfeng turned his anger into joy, patted Fang Xiaoru's shoulder and laughed: "Okay, fellow believers, I am not alone." Your poor way is collected! ”

Fang Xiaoru: "............"

Xiao Fan at this end fell into embarrassment, looked left and right, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Thrush, Jiangdu, this woman's name is Zhang Hongqiao, is ...... It's your new sister, she is something I met in Beiping, in order to save my life, she has suffered a lot, a lot of grievances, you have to treat her well in the future......"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Hongqiao stepped forward to bow to the thrush and Jiang Duyingying, and took the initiative to bow down as a concubine and said, "Sister Zhang Hongqiao, I have seen two ladies. ”

Thrush and Jiang both looked at Xiao Fan in surprise, Xiao Fan smiled dryly, but he was a little uneasy in his heart.

Although this is an era of husband-oriented, but the two ladies in the family are the status of the royal county lord, and the statement that the husband is the sky is not true for them at all, if they are jealous and do not agree to Zhang Hongqiao's entry into the door, Xiao Fan really can't cheer up his husband, and besides, he, Thrush, and Jiang are all really in love with each other, and it is not easy to achieve good results so far, and he doesn't want to hurt their hearts.

But...... Zhang Hongqiao wanted to save herself in Beiping, she didn't even want her life, how could such a woman who values love and righteousness live up to it?

It's not easy for a man to be in a dilemma!

At this moment, Xiao Fan wanted to sing a song of apprehension...... The atmosphere between the four fell into silence, embarrassed and suffocating.

Xiao Fan wanted to open his mouth several times, but he didn't know what to say, he was decisive and resolute outside, and the vigorous Jinyi guards were all commanded, but now he has become more well-behaved than a sheep.

Time passed very slowly, Zhang Hongqiao kept hanging his head and bowing in front of the second daughter, but his body couldn't help but start trembling, a heart gradually sank into the abyss, she was cold, she seemed to feel that God had played a big joke on her again, and the happiness that she had just grasped in the palm of her hand was quietly passing...... If she is not tolerated by the two ladies of the Xiao family, where should she go?

She has already made a grand wish that she will never enter the Goolan Chu Pavilion again in this life and do that trick of selling money. Is there any other way for her to go but to die?

I don't know how long it took, and Thrush and Jiang Du exchanged glances.

"Zhang Hongqiao? You stand up first. The thrush has not yet grown, but it has picked up the shelf of the eldest lady of the Xiao family.

Zhang Hongqiao's delicate body trembled, and he hurriedly stood up obediently, standing honestly in front of the thrush and lowering his head.

The thrush frowned lightly, and circled around Zhang Hongqiao twice with a scrutinizing eye.

Zhang Hongqiao was so nervous that he didn't dare to move, and his slender fingers wrenched the corners of his clothes.

After a long time, the thrush suddenly stretched out his hand, snapped, and patted Zhang Hongqiao's plump buttocks lightly.

With the crisp sound, Xiao Fan's eyelids jumped with fright, but Zhang Hongqiao couldn't help but exclaim.

The thrush sighed with envy and jealousy: "It's really a bullet surname, big and round...... In the future, he will definitely be able to give birth to a big fat son for Xianggong. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Fan and Zhang Hongqiao were dumbfounded at the same time.

"Okay, Hongqiao, you will be the Xiao family and our sister in the future." Thrush made a conclusion as the eldest lady of the Xiao family.

Zhang Hongqiao cried with joy and bowed again: "Thank you two ladies for your success." ”

Xiao Fan also had tears in his eyes: "Woman, I really can't guess!" ”

On the other end, Zhang Sanfeng was collecting debts from Fang Xiaoru: "Ten taels of silver, hurry!" Hurry up and give it to me! ”

Fang Xiaoru was extremely frustrated: "You shouldn't gamble!" You shouldn't gamble! …… Why don't you fight? Alas! Don't be angry! ”

The process of solving family affairs is as Zhang Sanfeng said, there is no danger.

One hundred and fifty years old is not in vain, Zhang Sanfeng's tricks are definitely much sharper than Fang Xiaoru's big myopic eyes.

The husband and wife have been separated for a long time, and they should have gotten together to recount their separation, but Zhu Yunwen said that he wanted Xiao Fan to enter the palace in the afternoon, and hurriedly had a family banquet at home, and after arranging Fang Xiaoru's bedroom, Xiao Fan hurried to the palace under the escort of the pro-army.

Entering the palace, Xiao Fan entered the Wenhua Hall under the leadership of the eunuch, this hour Zhu Yunwen was supposed to be the time of the afternoon court meeting, but he unexpectedly stopped the court meeting, and sighed weakly behind the dragon case, holding a small oil paper ball tightly in his hand, looking preoccupied.

Xiao Fan was furious when he saw him, and he didn't even do the courtesy of the monarch and minister, and snorted: "Now you know guilt? Why don't you feel guilty when you use my name to pick up girls around? If you can't soak it, it's a shame for me! ”

Zhu Yunwen raised his head and said with a sad face: "...... I don't feel guilty now. ”

Xiao Fan said angrily: "Why are you putting on such a look without guilt?" ”

Zhu Yunwen's face twitched, and he said sadly: "...... I think it's not good, so let's come hard, so I ordered the eunuch to get me a packet of aphrodisiac......"

"Shameless!" Xiao Fan was angry, and then changed his face: "...... But it works. ”

"You think it works, don't you?" Zhu Yunwen sighed and said, "...... Just now I was very curious about this bag of aphrodisiac, so I was going to study it carefully, but the rope on the outside of the oil paper wrapped in aphrodisiac was too tight, and I bit it open with my teeth in a hurry and swallowed a lot of it...... Alas, I'm struggling right now......"
