Chapter Twenty-Seven: Reconciliation

After Wang Kunjun and the others returned to Hanfu, they still came to the flower hall to rest. After a few people sat down and drank two sips of water, Han Qingwen came out of the back house and expressed to Wang Kunjun that she hoped to stay here for one night tonight and leave the next day. In this regard, Wang Kunjun had no opinion, and agreed very happily. With Wang Kunjun's approval, Han Qingwen happily went back to the back house to talk to her mother, while Wang Kunjun and others were sent to the guest room by the housekeeper of the Han Mansion to rest. That night, Han Deyi, who came back from the Yamen, held a banquet again, pushed cups and exchanged cups with Wang Kunjun and others, and drank quite happily. Early the next morning, Wang Kunjun and Han Qingwen bid farewell to Han Deyi and his wife, and returned to Liangxiang City with the brothers, and a crisis of his wife's status was passed safely.

When Wang Kunjun and the others returned to Liangxiang City, it was close to noon, and everyone else could go back to their rooms to wash their faces, take a rest, and wait for a while to eat, but Wang Kunjun couldn't be so leisurely. He hurriedly washed his face, and went straight to the small conference room to meet with the other members of the committee who were already waiting there, and briefed everyone on his trip to Youzhou.

After listening to Wang Kunjun's briefing, the other three committee members said they were lucky. On the one hand, I am glad that Han Deyi can accept the reality of Zhang Xiaofei's return so easily, and on the other hand, I feel that Wang Kunjun and they can meet Feng Cheng by chance and get in touch with each other. Although Feng Cheng's verbal assurance is not very reliable, as long as there is direct contact with him, it will be of great benefit to the team's future development in Youzhou. It can be said that this trip to Youzhou was a complete success and made a great contribution to the stability of the foundation of the crossing team in this era.

Coming out of the conference room, Wang Kunjun rushed back to the cross-courtyard where he lived, ready to tell Zhang Xiaofei the details of the trip, so as to strengthen her confidence in not leaving. However, when he walked into the living room of the main house, he was blocked by Han Qingwen's personal maid Meixiang. Mei Xiang asked Wang Kunjun to sit down first, and then said, "Fifth Master, you can sit here for a while." The two ladies are talking in the inner room, and when they are finished, you will go in and meet them. ”

As soon as Wang Kunjun heard this, he knew that Han Qingwen was one step ahead of him, so he didn't ask any more, sat there and drank tea leisurely, waiting for Zhang and Han to finish talking.

About the time when there was a pillar of incense, I heard the door of the inner room ring, and Zhang and Han walked out of it holding hands and laughing. As soon as the two looked up, they saw Wang Kunjun, Zhang Xiaofei turned her head and wanted to go back to the inner room, but was dragged by Han Qingwen to sit next to Wang Kunjun. Han Qingwen said to Wang Kunjun: "Official, the concubine has already told my sister about this trip to Youzhou. My sister was also very satisfied with the result, and just now she had promised the concubine not to mention leaving the 'Qingyuan'. ”

Wang Kunjun was naturally very happy when he heard this, and said, "There is Mrs. Lao." After speaking, he turned to Zhang Xiaofei with a smile, intending to be close to her and express his gratitude to her for agreeing to stay. As a result, before he could speak, he heard Zhang Xiaofei say angrily: "Don't laugh so ugly, you guy looks like he has succeeded in his conspiracy." I stayed here for the sake of Sister Qingwen's face, don't think that you will be able to eat me in the future. Also, I can warn you that Sister Qingwen is an exception this time, and she made a decision without you knowing that I am still 'alive', and I can leave it to you. However, that doesn't mean you'll be able to mess around outside in the future. If you dare to bring girls home without our permission in the future, don't blame us for being rude. ”

After speaking, Zhang Xiaofei also symbolically shook her little pink fist, and Han Qingwen on the side was also very cooperative and nodded her head again and again to express her support. In the face of the two ladies who had formed a united front, Wang Kunjun immediately said "without complaints" that he would unswervingly carry out the instructions of his wife in the future and would never break his word. Immediately, Mei Xiang went to the kitchen to arrange, and the family of three happily had lunch in their room.

That night, Wang Kunjun and Wang Wuye, who had slept in the guest room for several days, were finally allowed to go back to the inner room to rest. At first, he wanted to sleep with a big quilt and enjoy the blessings of Qi people, but the result naturally ended in failure. Whether it is Zhang Xiaofei or Han Qingwen, they can't accept this method for a while. Especially Han Qingwen, who was already flushed with shame when she heard him say half of it, and before he finished speaking, she ran out of the inner room as if she were running away, locked herself in another bedroom, and refused to come out again.

Originally, Zhang Xiaofei also wanted to run, but because the position she was sitting in was far away from the door, and Han Qingwen had increased her vigilance as soon as she ran, so she was finally caught by Wang Kunjun and did not run.

As the saying goes, "a little don't win a newlywed", Wang Kunjun and Zhang Xiaofei have been separated for a year, and this night was naturally tossed in the dark, and they didn't get up until three o'clock the next day. After the two got up, they simply freshened up, and directly had lunch with Han Qingwen in two meals. Subsequently, Wang Kunjun first asked Master Tai to say goodbye, and then went to have a meeting with several other committee members.

Because the team has been operating smoothly in all aspects recently, and there are no major issues to solve, the meeting will be very brief, but the work of a pillar of incense is over. After the meeting, Wang Kunjun returned to the cross-courtyard where he lived, and as soon as he entered the living room, he saw Han Qingwen chatting with Zhong Ziqi, and the two got up to salute him when they saw him come back.

Wang Kunjun returned the salute, and when he saw that Zhang Xiaofei was not in the room, he asked Han Qingwen: "Wenwen, why is your sister Xiaofei not there, where did she go?" ”

"My sister went to find her senior sister Jingyue." Han Qingwen replied.

Wang Kunjun nodded when he heard this, and said, "Well, yes, that Jingyue has been living with us for many days. Now that Xiao Fei has promised not to stay, there is no need for her senior sister to stay and wait for her, it is time to go back to Yuqingguan. ”

While the two were talking, Zhang Xiaofei pushed the door in from the outside, and when she saw that Wang Kunjun had returned, she said to him: "You came back quite quickly, but I don't have to go to you." I went to talk to Senior Sister Jingyue just now, and I feel that it has been a while since I left Yuqingguan, and it is time to go back. So, my sister and I decided to leave tomorrow. ”

As soon as he heard that Zhang Xiaofei was leaving, Wang Kunjun almost jumped up from the chair, and he asked anxiously: "My dear, haven't you already decided to stay with me, why are you going to leave again now?" ”,

Seeing his anxious appearance, Zhang Xiaofei felt a little proud in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, but pretended to be angry and said, "What are you anxious about, I haven't finished talking yet." Since I have promised you to stay, then I will be by your side for the rest of my life, and I can't get rid of you if you want to. The reason why I said that I wanted to go back to Yuqingguan with my senior sister was mainly to say goodbye to the master, after all, it was the master who helped me in my most difficult time, so I have to go back to the master to explain the situation here, and say goodbye to her old man, do you say this is the reason? ”

After listening to Zhang Xiaofei's explanation, Wang Kunjun finally put his mind at ease, he nodded again and again: "It's this reason, it's this reason." By the way, don't you have two companions over there who wear ...... together, cough, and have crossed the ocean and gone through hardships together, you can bring them with you when you go back this time, and everyone can take care of them together. ”

"Well, I was about to tell you about it. To say that Zheng Zhiwei and Liu Jie and their husband and wife have also lived and died together with me, and now that I have something to rely on here, I naturally don't want to leave them and my wife aside. Although they don't have to worry about food and clothing in the temple, the conditions are still too far from here. I've been wanting to talk to you about this for the past few days, and I hope you'll talk to the committee and agree to accept both of them into your team. Now that you have taken the initiative to make this suggestion, it is exactly what I want and deserves to be commended. Then let's just say it, tomorrow I will set off with my senior sister and strive to come back as soon as possible. Zhang Xiaofei was very happy to see that Wang Kunjun took the initiative to ask her to pick up Zheng and Liu, and gave him verbal praise, and as soon as she turned around, she was going to inform her senior sister.

Although Wang Kunjun, who was praised, was very proud, he did not get fluttering because of this, he grabbed Zhang Xiaofei, pressed her on the chair, and said: "First of all, I just put forward a suggestion to accept Zheng and Liu, and it was the enlarged meeting of the entire committee that finally made the decision to accept them. Also, don't think that giving me a verbal compliment will fool me, since you admit that you are my wife, then everything has to be done according to the rules. ”

"What rules?" Zhang Xiaofei was stunned by Wang Kunjun's words, and asked subconsciously.

"The rules are actually very simple." Wang Kunjun explained, "According to the team system, unless specifically approved by the committee, all team members must be accompanied by members of the security team when they leave their permanent residence, and now they leave Liangxiang City, so as to avoid accidents." You are my wife, that is, a member of the team, so naturally you have to abide by this system. Therefore, if you want to leave the 'Qingyuan' and return to Yuqingguan, it is not enough for you and your senior sister to go, and the security team must also send someone to accompany you. ”

Regarding Wang Kunjun's request, Zhang Xiaofei was very resistant at first. She felt that Wang Kunjun was looking for an excuse to deceive her, distrust of herself, an invasion of personal privacy, and interference with personal freedom, so she resolutely argued with Wang Kunjun on the basis of reason. This struggle proved to be futile. No matter how Zhang Xiaofei argued, Wang Kunjun did not let go, but repeatedly explained to her the reasons for the establishment of this system, the benefits, and how he should lead by example as Wang Kunjun's wife, and become an example of the implementation team system. Han Qingwen and Zhong Ziqi, who were on the side, also persuaded Zhang Xiaofei one after another, saying that the team does have this system, and the two of them usually go out, and they are accompanied by family members and guards, not just for Zhang Xiaofei alone.

After Wang Kunjun's explanation, Han Qingwen, and Zhong Ziqi's proof, Zhang Xiaofei finally believed that this system was not made up by Wang Kunjun to deceive himself, but indeed a hard rule of the team. After much thought, although she had a lot of opinions about this system, she still had to accept it.

After convincing Zhang Xiaofei, Wang Kunjun immediately summoned several other committee members to a small conference room, first informed everyone of Zhang Xiaofei's imminent return to Yuqingguan, and then the four of them discussed the specific security arrangements. In the end, it was decided that the security liliang who went to Yuqingguan this time was composed of Tang Chao, Wang Feng and Cheng Fei with two domestic servants, and Tang Chao was the person in charge. They used two horses and two carriages as a means of transportation, and they also carried a radio station for communication.

On the twenty-third day of April of the lunar calendar, in Wang Kunjun's reluctant gaze, Zhang Xiaofei got into the carriage and went straight to Yuqingguan in Damao Mountain. Not long after they left, the other four members of the left-behind team, except for Tang Chao, also said goodbye to the brothers and returned to Feilong Village with fifty flintlock pistols and corresponding ammunition, so that they could complete the Zuihou training of the pro-soldier team as soon as possible.
