Chapter 307: All the grievances are released
Chapter 307: All grudges are resolved
New Year's Eve, a day to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
The firecrackers roared early in the morning, and every household in the capital was full of joy, with lights and colorful flowers red, and the smell of gunpowder in the air was filled with joy.
The Ministry of Personnel has already issued a notice, and the emperor stopped the court and went to Shangyuan. Officials did not have to go to court these days. The officials only left the officials on duty in the offices of each department.
As soon as the sky was dawn, the door of the Duke of England's mansion quietly opened. A group of guards surrounded Xiao Fan, who was wearing brocade clothes and jade robes, and the petite and graceful lady of the Duke of China, got on the carriage. The driver gently whipped the flower, and the carriage slowly drove forward. Behind the carriage were several large carriages, which were filled with dozens of large sandalwood boxes.
In the swaying carriage, the thrush and small face frowned, and looked a little uneasy.
"My husband, are you really going?"
Xiao Fan smiled and nodded: "It should be gone, this is filial piety."
"Can't we go tomorrow? Today...oh! Stop quickly, the flowers in the yard have not been watered yet..." Huamei was whispering.
Xiao Fan grabbed Huamei's little hand and smiled and said, "Madam Duke, you don't have to worry about it. Flowers will have their own servants in the mansion to help you water."
"The people's red envelope..."
"Jiangdu has given it."
"New Year's Eve New Year's Eve dinner..."
"The chef is already preparing."
The thrush looked at Xiao Fan resentfully: "…………”
Xiao Fan was so leisurely that he looked at her with a smile: "Madam, what else is there to be in time?"
The little shoulder of the thrush collapsed and he said dejectedly: "It's gone..."
Xiao Fan held her little hand and said warmly: "The blood of a father and daughter is thicker than water. Any hatred should be exposed. It is the duty of a child before filial piety. Don't wait until your relatives are gone before regretting. I hope you will be happy in the future and don't leave any regrets in your life."
Huamei's eyes suddenly turned red, and she nodded vigorously: "My husband, I'll listen to you."
Yan King's Villa.
He was surrounded by thousands of Jinyiwei inside and outside, with his sword drawn out of the sheath and bowed in a string. He was extremely vigilant, and he looked like he was facing a great enemy.
As soon as Xiao Fan's carriage stopped at the gate of the villa, a group of Jinyiwei quietly surrounded him in an encirclement.
The guard beside the carriage shouted sternly: "Bold! The British Duke is here, do you dare to offend the Duke's decree?"
The bead curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Xiao Fan appeared in front of everyone with a smile with his eyebrows. The Jinyiwei was stunned, and then knelt down with a pale face. He hurriedly greeted him, and a large area of kneeling around him was suddenly dark.
A man with a hundred-family family said in panic: "I don't know that the prince will arrive and his subordinates will offend him and deserve to die!"
Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty. People who are in the New Year are not so nervous. Are you used to living in it?"
Although Zhu Di was defeated and had his title of prince, he was the emperor's uncle after all, so Xiao Fan was still called the prince.
"If you return to the country, the prince and his family will not be able to leave, and you will spend your days leisurely, raise birds and flowers every day, which is quite interesting."
"Are you slow to eat, clothing and consumption?"
"I don't dare."
Xiao Fan nodded. The lean camel was bigger than a horse. These guys dared not be rude to Zhu Di. After all, everyone knows that the wife of the British Duke's wife is Zhu Di's daughter. Even if Zhu Di can offend him, can his daughter afford to offend him?
The Jinyiwei, who were surrounded inside and outside the courtyard, respectfully gave up a wide avenue to Xiao Fan and his party. Xiao Fan walked into the courtyard with his thrush.
A figure flashed outside the flower hall, and Zhu Di, who was serving the flowers and plants, was beating slightly. He turned his head uneasyly, but saw Xiao Fan looking at him at the door with a smile, his eyes full of gentle kindness. Beside him, his petite and delicate thrush was tightly snuggled up to him, and his pretty eyes stared at Zhu Di with a very complicated expression.
Zhu Di was shocked, his hands trembled, and the scissors in his hand fell down.
"You...you bastard! What are you doing here? Could it be that you came to laugh at me, the defeated general?" Zhu Di said furiously.
Xiao Fan looked at Huamei, then tidied up his clothes, and knelt down to Zhu Di with Huamei.
"The foolish son-in-law brought Chang Ningte to greet his father-in-law. Happy New Year, sir."
Zhu Di became more and more surprised, staring at Xiao Fan and Huamei who were kneeling on the ground, and didn't know how to react for a moment.
"My father-in-law, happy New Year!" Xiao Fan had to shout loudly again.
In an instant, an unspeakable feeling suddenly surged in Zhu Di's heart, and two hazy fog rose in his eyes. The eyes of staring at Xiao Fan through the fog were complicated, including hatred, resentment, pain, and... inexplicably relieved.
"Xiao Fan, what do you... want?" Zhu Di said hoarsely after a long time.
Facing Zhu Di's complicated eyes, Xiao Fan's eyes were clear, and the smile on his face was as pure as the snow in winter.
"The daughter and son-in-law come to pay New Year's greetings to my father-in-law. That's all, isn't my father-in-law unhappy?"
Huamei turned her head and glanced at her husband. Her tightly pursed mouth finally opened slightly, her voice as thin as a mosquito, and her little face was a little astringent and stiff.
"Father...father, happy New Year."
Zhu Di was shocked when he heard this, and tears suddenly burst out from his eyes. In recent years, he was a powerful vassal, and his voice was shocked by the world. His military power was so powerful that even the court was very afraid of it. When he stood at the peak, he called the wind and rain, and was dominant, his daughter never called him father. Now that time has changed, he has been defeated by his son-in-law, and he was escorted back to the capital to live a prisoner-like life. The scenery of the past has long disappeared, but unexpectedly, Chang Ning called himself father at this time!
How can this feeling be!
"Happy New Year... Happy New Year." Zhu Di wiped his tears and cried in tears.
"My father-in-law, should you let us get up? But Xiaosheng once, you won't be so scrupulous, always let your son-in-law kneel down, right?" Xiao Fan giggled.
When Zhu Di mentioned this, he suddenly felt a sigh in his heart. Looking at the young and handsome face in front of him, he recalled the changes in the battlefield, the fierce fighting between life and death, and tens of thousands of lives survived or destroyed between him and Xiao Fan's thoughts. The two people who were influential in the world now met again under such circumstances. At this moment, it seemed like a different life.
Zhu Di still felt a sense of resentment in his heart. He glared fiercely and snorted: "Get up!"
Xiao Fan laughed twice, stood up with his thrush.
Looking at Zhu Di in front of him carefully, this hero who once dominated the world and was already much older. He had lost his freedom and now he is haggard and his majestic body gradually becomes hunchbacked and old, no longer as heroic and arrogant as before.
The hero's spirit is gone, and he feels sad and sad.
Xiao Fan sighed in his heart, Zhu Di, after all, belongs to the battlefield. Without the battlefield, he will be like a soulless body, becoming increasingly depressed.
"My father-in-law, you haven't seen each other for only a month. You are much older..." Xiao Fan sighed.
Zhu Di was slightly moved, but his tone was very stiff: "Thank you for worrying!"
Xiao Fan continued to sigh: "Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white hair on earth. My father-in-law,... Time is like a knife to kill a pig."
Zhu Di: “…………”
Staying silent for a long time...
"Xiao Fan, are you here to greet New Year's greetings or are you here to anger me?"
Seeing Zhu Di's resentment, Xiao Fan said seriously: "My father-in-law, the dead are gone. The past imperial hegemony is ultimately the past. You have tried it, but if you fail, can't you let it go?"
Zhu Di was stunned, then sighed, and his body became more and more hunched.
"Today, the son-in-law and Chang Ning came here to continue family life. There are no winners or losers here. There are only family members, father-in-law, for your hegemony, you have lost a lot. Why bother to be obsessed with the past? Success or failure is determined by nature. Heroes and heroes should be able to afford to lose."
Zhu Di was shocked, his eyes wandering back and forth on Xiao Fan and Huamei's expectant face.
a long time……
Zhu Di sighed a long time and was silent for a moment, but suddenly burst out with laughter. His laughter was heroic and filled the sky, which shocked a group of birds living outside the flower hall, just like the singularity of the golden swords and iron horses back then.
"Forget it, it's just a past event."
Xiao Fan and Huamei also showed relaxed smiles.
He knew that at this moment, Zhu Di finally let go completely like the Buddha attained enlightenment.
Zhu Di, you are worthy of being a hero of the world!
In the warm flower hall, the three finally talked about family matters with a peaceful mind for the first time. Zhu Di and Hua Mei, the father and daughter, even spoke, their eyes were red and their tears were swaying. The small flower hall was filled with a faint sadness and a strong warmth.
It was not until now that Zhu Di suddenly realized how precious the words family and family affection were. He had missed too many things in the past!
Time passed without realizing it. Xiao Fan looked at the more peaceful father and daughter, and a little deep thought suddenly appeared in his deep eyes.
"My father-in-law, do you like taking a boat?" Xiao Fan suddenly asked.
"I don't like it!" Zhu Di did not think.
“Do you like traveling?”
"I don't like it!" Zhu Di glared at him fiercely.
"Do you like war?"
Zhu Di was silent for a long time and nodded gently. He missed the smell of the battlefield so much, smoke, blood, flags, swords, war drums... Seeing those things always made his blood boil and his whole body burn.
Unfortunately, he probably never had the chance to ride a war horse and fight around in this life.
A deep smile appeared on Xiao Fan's lips: "Why don't you worry about the heroes of this world? Will my father-in-law go to sea by boat and build a few colonies for my Ming Dynasty?"
On the carriage back home, the thrush was like a cat, huddled in Xiao Fan's arms tiredly, allowing Xiao Fan to caress her long hair like a waterfall.
"My husband, thank you..." Huamei's eyes surged into wetness.
The long-lost family affection finally completely resolved the hatred and resentment that had been buried in her heart for several years. Zhu Di let go of his grudges, and she also let go, relaxed and relaxed, as light as a swallow.
Xiao Fan smiled lowly: "You and my husband, why bother thank you? Painting the eyebrows... Are you sixteen?"
Huamei nodded and placed his big hand on his bulging breasts, proving that he was in his prime.
Xiao Fan felt the softness of the tentacles and sighed happily: "...it's time to quit."
