Chapter 226 Xiao Fan returns to Beijing
Xiao Fan stayed in Yanzhou Prefecture for two days.
First, for Zhang Hongqiao's health, she suffered severe internal injuries and needed rest. Xiao Fan's guard of honor kept walking and stopping on the road, and every time she arrived at a place, she was convenient for several days.
Secondly, because Xiao Fan was waiting for Zhang Sanfeng. I wonder if the master was safe or if he successfully assassinated Daoyan. The secret spies of the Jinyiwei had reported several urgent reports these days, saying that late at night a few days ago, the Yan Palace in Beiping was in chaos for a while, and then the gate of the palace was closed and no one was allowed to enter and exit. The Jinyiwei could not find out any situation, and I don’t know if Zhang Sanfeng had failed.
Deep worries came to Xiao Fan's heart.
He even felt a little regretful, feeling that he shouldn't have asked Zhang Sanfeng to assassinate Daoyan.
The old man is 150 years old and is still running for a junior, taking such a great risk to sneak into the palace to kill people to save people. Xiao Fan thought about it and felt that he was a little heartbroken. If he had put aside his previous life, he would have been despised by thousands of people.
As the saying goes, there is an old family, if there is a treasure, let alone Xiao Fan’s family has two old people. These two old people are treasures, so they should treat them well in the future. Wouldn’t they just drink, eat meat and cook half a house? Try to satisfy them and don’t short of money!
Also, don’t you like the teacher? It’s absolutely fine! Who can’t have any hobbies? It’s normal to like the teacher. Although the taste is a little heavier, it’s not impossible to understand. Men over 100 are also men. If they are men, they have needs and hobbies. Xiao Fan himself also likes black silk fishing nets. Why can’t the two elderly people like uniform temptation?
Xiao Fan's heart was very heavy, his thick black sword eyebrows were furrowed deeply, and he was worried about Zhang Sanfeng's safety.
It doesn't matter whether Daoyan can be killed or not. He only hopes that Zhang Sanfeng can come back alive. He came to this world alone. He has long regarded Taixu and Zhang Sanfeng as their closest relatives, and no one wants their relatives to have any problems. Especially under his instigation, if something happens, Xiao Fan will live in guilt in this life.
"Father...My husband..." Zhang Hongqiao called softly with a little shyness.
Xiao Fan turned around and in the sun, Zhang Hongqiao was wearing a plain-colored thin shirt and wearing an equally plain-colored bracelet on the outside. Her hair was casually tied with a cloud bun, and two strands were inserted into her hair slanted. Her pretty face, which was not covered with pink, was fair and tender as if a lotus came out of water, so beautiful and refined.
Xiao Fan smiled from the bottom of his heart, washing away all the dew just to cherish the Lord. She was carefully holding this initial feeling, afraid of breaking and losing, and ascending from hell to heaven. That was the fate given to her by God. She didn't want the happiness that she finally got and flies away quietly, and she didn't want the smell of dust on her body to defile its nobility and flawlessness. So now Zhang Hongqiao is cautious and reserved everywhere.
Suddenly, Xiao Fan stretched out his hand and suddenly hugged Zhang Hongqiao's delicate body into his arms. Zhang Hongqiao exclaimed. When he realized that he was already in Xiao Fan's warm embrace. His hard stubble was pressing against her smooth forehead. It hurt a little, but it was very comfortable.
Shame red buried her head in his arms, smelling the smell of Xiao Fan almost greedily, and the faint fragrance of green grass penetrated into her heart. Zhang Hongqiao had never felt such a comfortable feeling, like a harbor, helping her block all the wind and waves, and allowing her to be peaceful and worry-free from now on.
"Hongqiao, you don't have to be so careful in front of me. You can be as casual as possible. After a few days, you don't have to be cautious at home at home. The Xiao family is different from other wealthy families. There are not so many rules that restrict people. You can do everything you want. My two ladies and I never take secular etiquette and law into our eyes..."
Zhang Hongqiao suppressed his crazy heartbeat and shyness, looked up and said in surprise: "My husband... don't care about etiquette? But, you are a high-ranking official in the court, how can you..."
Xiao Fan laughed and said, "So what about the high-ranking officials of the court? Even if I become a Duke and a Prince, the word "ritual and law" is still not worth a penny in my eyes. Life is nothing more than comfortable and living a life without restraint. This is how you can live your life without mercy. The so-called etiquette and law are nothing more than tools to castrate human nature. In my Xiao family, this thing is the least necessary thing to exist."
Zhang Hongqiao looked at Xiao Fan with a few strange brilliance in his beautiful eyes.
This man... is so strange. He was obviously a scholar and had become such a big official. He was in power when he was young and was in power. He was in power. Such a person should pay the most attention to Confucian rules and etiquette. Why did he look down on it so disdain?
And his two princesses, are they really as kind as he said? That's true... The future life in the Xiao family is really exciting...
Zhang Hongqiao's pretty face was hidden in Xiao Fan's arms, and a humorous chuckling quietly bloomed...
"Of course, not following etiquette and law does not mean that you can be lawless. If you are so unrestrained that you are riding on someone else's neck to poop and pee, this... I believe others will not be very happy. The Xiao family is the same as other people's houses. If it is convenient, it is usually done in a thatched cottage or toilet. Don't be too creative..." Xiao Fan added a very disgraceful sentence.
Zhang Hongqiao: “…………”
In the evening, Zhang Sanfeng, who had always worried about Xiao Fan, came back in turmoil.
The one who came back with him was also a bloated old woman.
Xiao Fan was overjoyed when he heard the news and rushed out of the headquarters.
When Zhang Hongqiao saw the old woman, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He called "Auntie" and threw himself into the woman's arms. He cried so hard that the pear blossoms were raining, which was particularly sad.
When my relatives meet again, it feels like a different life, and I feel sad.
Xiao Fan smiled at Zhang Sanfeng first, with a smile showing compliment and attentiveness.
"Thank you for your hard work. After going out for a while, your uncle looks more and more radiant and his face is much rosy..."
Zhang Sanfeng stared at him with a bad expression: "Little bastard, you have found a good job for me!"
"Master, life lies in exercise. It is not good to stay at home and be an otaku, let alone an old otaku who is over 100 years old. If you don't have much activity, you are prone to myocardial infarction and osteoporosis. My nephew is all for your health..."
Xiao Fan chuckled again and said, "... Besides, the junior nephew asked you to save a woman. This is a chance to save the beauty of a hero. It must be extremely erotic on the way back, right? Did Hongqiao's aunt have a secret heart?"
Zhang Sanfeng's face twitched a few times and said sharply: "Sweet and erotic? Is it still a secret heart?"
Zhang Sanfeng sighed in grief to the sky, then pointed to the old woman he saved and said evilly: "That ugly old monster! Turn around and recognize your niece, son-in-law, he is your great benefactor..."
Xiao Fan hurriedly tidy up his clothes, bowed to the old woman, and said solemnly: "Xiao Fan has seen his aunt... Ghost--"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Fan exclaimed and rushed behind Zhang Sanfeng, looking at the woman who smiled and turned white and pink on her face.
Zhang Sanfeng looked at him sympathetically: "It's scary, right?"
Xiao Fan couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"You can't stand it when you see her. I took her for hundreds of miles. You said, how bitter I lived!" Zhang Sanfeng said with grief and anger.
Xiao Fan stared at the aunt, swallowed with difficulty, and said with a forced smile: "Auntie... is actually quite... that, pretty."
Zhang Sanfeng grabbed Xiao Fan's collar and carried him to him like a chicken, whispering viciously: "If you say something unconscience again, do you believe me or not, I will send her to your bed tonight?"
Xiao Fan immediately shut up: “…………”
At this time, Zhang Hongqiao and his aunt had already told them about their love. The two wiped their tears, smiling in their tears.
My aunt turned her bloated body, and the powder on her face washed away by tears into white rivers, looking particularly creepy.
"This is Lord Xiao, right? I'm Hongqiao's aunt. Thanks to the help of my family, Hongqiao came out of the fire pit. Hongqiao is a miserable woman, and she has lost her parents since she was ***..."
Xiao Fan quickly bowed and said, "Xiao Fan has seen his aunt, and it is not worth mentioning. From Hongqiao, he will be my wife. It is my duty to save her."
My aunt stopped crying and looked at Xiao Fan with her small eyes. The so-called aunt looked at her niece and son-in-law, and the more she looked at her, the more interesting she became. Seeing that Xiao Fan was born with a handsome talent and a high-powered official, for the mother and daughter, being able to marry such a good son-in-law was a blessing in his previous life. When his niece followed him, the suffering of this life was over.
My aunt suddenly felt sad and happy, and she smiled like a flower on her face. She squinted her eyes and said, "From the future, I will be a family with my nephew and son-in-law. I will not disturb you and see you for a few days a month. Also, we don't have to be so polite, and don't call you from my aunt, it seems to be too alive!"
"What are you not calling your aunt?"
"Auntie!"
Xiao Fan turned his head and looked at her round figure. After a while, he couldn't help but say, "How many days have you been in a month?"
"Five to seven days, it depends on your mood."
“…………”
Half a month later, the towering city walls of Yingtian Prefecture in the capital were far away.
Looking at the old gray city wall, Xiao Fan couldn't help but feel emotion.
Finally, I went home. This time I was a life-threatening death. Only after experiencing danger did I realize the preciousness of life. If I really gained anything in this trip to Peking, understanding many life principles is Xiao Fan’s greatest gain.
Some principles are only when you have experienced them yourself before you can understand their profoundness, especially the principles that you can understand at the moment of life and death, which is the real wealth in life.
Taiping Gate, North City.
The imperial guards of honor held high and calm, avoided the deacon signs, and walked towards the city gates in a mighty way.
Xiao Fan sat in the carriage and began to organize his language, how to report to the emperor what he saw, heard and thought about this trip to Peking.
At this time, the horse was exploring the horse in front of him. In the pavilion of the ten miles outside the city, a young young man in luxurious clothes, with five or six followers, was drinking alone in the pavilion. Looking at the boy's appearance, he seemed to be a child today.
Xiao Fan was shocked. He returned to Beijing with the principle of low-keyness. He did not tell anyone about his actions. How did Zhu Yunwen know that he was back today? He also pretended to be traveling and waited for him in the Shili Pavilion. Could something big happened in the court?
Xiao Fan urgently ordered the ceremonial guard to stop. He got out of the car, lifted up the hem of the official robe, and hurried to the Shili Pavilion alone.
From afar, Zhu Yunwen's handsome and elegant appearance came into Xiao Fan's eyes. He had a calm and quiet smile on his face, and his eyes seemed to be looking forward and nervous, looking at the sky from time to time, and his handsome face showed some thoughts.
Xiao Fan walked a few steps, knelt down in front of the steps of the Shili Pavilion, and shouted: "My teacher, Xiao Fan, I am ordered to patrol the north on behalf of the emperor, and I will return to the capital smoothly today. I pay homage to Your Majesty. Long live my emperor--"
Zhu Yunwen was shocked when he saw a figure kneeling in front of him. He was shocked. Several plainclothes guards beside him were about to come forward to get the person, but they heard that the man called himself Xiao Fan, so everyone was stunned.
"Xiao...Xiao Shixuan?" Zhu Yunwen asked uncertainly.
Xiao Fan raised his head, his eyes filled with excitement and tears: "Your Majesty, it's me, I'm back!"
Zhu Yunwen sat on the stone bench in the pavilion for a while and his face looked a little strange.
"Why are you going back today..." Before he finished speaking, Zhu Yunwen immediately changed his words and said with surprise: "Shi Du Xiao, you have finally arrived. I have been waiting for you so hard. Just come back, just come back..."
After saying that, Zhu Yunwen stepped forward and helped Xiao Fan up. The king and his minister looked at each other a few times.
"Shidun Xiao, you are thinner and darker than before..." Zhu Yunwen patted his shoulder and sighed: "This job is so hard for you. I have learned from your report that you have suffered..."
Xiao Fan was moved and said, "A man who died for his confidant, and it is nothing to work hard for me. Your Majesty actually went out of the city to greet me. This made me frightened and moved me, but I was very moved. I treat my country's scholars as my country's men. How dare I not be fooled by my lords, and I will die after death..."
Zhu Yunwen was very happy when he heard this and couldn't help laughing to the sky, but the smile on his face showed a hint of embarrassment.
"This... Xiao Shilu has worked so hard, it's okay for me to come out of the city to pick him up, haha, it's OK..."
Xiao Fan was so moved that tears filled his eyes, and he choked and said, "Your Majesty, I am so moved..."
Before he finished speaking, a little maid with two maids combed in a bun at the corner of the official road outside the pavilion walked up to the pavilion. The maid quickly walked into the pavilion, with her lively eyes casually glanced at the king and minister who were moving and sensational to each other, and then turned to Zhu Yunwen with a blank expression: "Mr. Xiao, my girl said that she was not feeling well today and didn't want to go to your appointment. Mr. Xiao is an important official in the court. Please respect her and don't bother her in the future..."
After saying that, the little maid turned around and left.
Xiao Fan was stunned, looked around, then pointed at his nose and asked in surprise: "Young Master Xiao? Are you talking about me? Who am I pestering?"
Zhu Yunwen pointed at his nose awkwardly and said, "Young Master Xiao... refers to me."
Xiao Fan was shocked: "I haven't seen you for a few days now, have you even changed your surname?"
"This... the situation is a bit complicated... I'll tell you again tonight."
Xiao Fan looked around and finally got a little reminiscent, so he said with a blank expression: "I'm afraid you were here today to welcome me, right? You dated a beauty? And someone even let the pigeon go?"
Zhu Yunwen's face turned red with shame and said embarrassedly: "I...ah! You enter the palace in the afternoon, and I will tell you well, what, you go home first, I'm very busy now..."
After saying that, Zhu Yunwen lifted the hem of her clothes and chased the little maid who was leaving without looking back. While chasing, he shouted: "Jun'er, wait a moment, I have something to say. Tell your lady, I have many advantages..."
From a distance, the little maid was bluntly scolded: "Xiao Fan! Are you shameless? My lady said that if you pester her, she will die for you!"
“…………”
Xiao Fan grabbed the arm of a guard beside Zhu Yunwen and said in great horror: "Why did that little girl call me by my name? Did I mess with her?"
The guard said with a stern face: "Since Lord Xiao left the capital, the emperor has often visited the emperor in his name, uh... privately."
Xiao Fan gradually understood that he had experienced life and death in Peking, but Zhu Yunwen was in the capital with his name and picked up girls everywhere...
It’s okay to pick up girls, but I can’t even get it. Looking at the little maid’s attitude, Xiao Fan’s name is probably already stinking…
Xiao Fan felt mixed feelings at this moment, and he was embarrassed! And he really lost his face...
