On the way back home, because there were female relatives, Pei Xingjian volunteered to drive the car with Xi Junmai in front.
In the carriage, Yang Fan and Xu Hui were speechless.
No matter in his previous life or in this life, Yang Fan is not a smooth talker.
Especially when it comes to girls, even though he has been a man for two lifetimes, he has not accumulated much experience.
Wu Meiniang was given to him by His Majesty Li Er, and Wu Shun was the emotion he couldn't help but develop during the process of getting along with her.
As for Xiao Shiyun, Wu Meiniang even found out about it after killing her first and then redeeming her to Yang Fan.
Therefore, although there are several women in the house, to be honest, Yang Fan really has no experience in chasing women.
Not to mention Xu Hui, she is a very talented woman, but naturally she is not good at talking.
I was recruited into the palace because of the emperor's draft. I thought I would spend my whole life in the inner courtyard of the palace, but I didn't know that the emperor rewarded Yang Fan.
At this time, Xu Hui was full of tangles, but she didn't know how to deal with Yang Fan.
On the one hand, because she was impressed by Yang Fan's talent, she didn't have much resentment about being given to Yang Fan.
On the other hand, because Xu Hui was born in a good place, she naturally understands the bad things among nobles. A woman like her who was given away no longer has the final say in her own life.
For a moment, Xu Hui had mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't know whether to be happy or to say that her life was miserable.
So he could only hang his head tightly, his pointed chin almost pierced his chest, and his body was tense, not knowing what to do.
It was just the glances at Yang Fan from time to time that revealed the panic in her heart.
There was an eerie silence in the carriage, with only the sound of whips cracking and wheels grinding against the ground.
At this time, Yang Fan had a headache.
Everyone has a love for beauty.
What's more, Xu Hui is famous for her talent and loyalty. It is impossible to say that she has no ideas.
But how to explain to Wu Meiniang and others after returning home is a bit difficult.
After all, the matter between Changsun Wugou and Concubine Yang has not been settled yet, and now that he is bringing a woman back, even the most generous woman will not be happy.
Of course, people must be brought back.
Since His Majesty Li Er has given Xu Hui to him, from now on, he will be Yang Fan's person in life and Yang Fan's ghost in death.
After all, the women given to heroes by the emperor were registered in the imperial court, even if Yang Fan didn't want them.
Of course, if you really don't like it, you can petition the emperor to withdraw it.
But in all the dynasties, only Fang Xuanling's wife, Lu, forced her to die, and His Majesty Li Er took back his life. That was the only time.
Yang Fan is not Fang Xuanling, and Empress Wu Mei is not Lu. Of course, Yang Fan will not spit out the meat in his mouth.
Seeing that Xu Hui was hesitant to speak, Yang Fan smiled slightly and said, "Why, is someone so scary? How can a talented woman like Xu be so careful about her words and actions!"
Hearing Yang Fan's slightly teasing words, Xu Hui gradually relaxed, bit her lips and encouraged herself, and said with some resentment: "My father-in-law, you are like the stars and the moon in the sky, but the little girl is like the fireflies on the ground. How dare you not know
Can I judge you based on my ability?"
"The little girl just wants to ask my father-in-law, when you asked His Majesty to give me to you, was it a whim or did it come from the bottom of your heart?"
Seeing Xu Hui's determined look, Yang Fan knew that if he gave a bad answer, he would never be able to win the sincerity of this talented woman.
Although he was initially attracted by the reputation and beauty of Xu Hui, a talented woman, it did not prevent Yang Fan from developing some feelings for her.
So Yang Fan's face became solemn, he stared closely at Xu Hui's pretty face, and said softly:
"I don't know if Mrs. Xu believes in love at first sight, but I do."
"From the moment I saw you in the Manna Hall, my heart has already fallen!"
"Although I know it's a bit abrupt for Your Majesty to give you to me, I don't regret it, because you are what I want to pursue."
"Of course, although His Majesty has given you to me, it does not mean that you are my personal property."
"We can get along slowly. If you think I can be your support for the rest of your life, then you can stay. If you think you will be happier taking other paths, I will respect your choice."
Hearing Yang Fan's words, Xu Hui was a little stunned!
Although what she just said was meant to vent her anger, she actually knew very well that her fate had been sealed since His Majesty Li Er gave her to Yang Fan.
Rather than saying that she was dissatisfied with Yang Fan, it was better to say that she was angry at His Majesty Li Er for giving her away like a piece of grass.
Now Yang Fan's words made Xu Hui feel very lucky.
In this era where men are superior to women, has she ever heard such words of respect for women?
Although she knew that these words might be untrue, Xu Hui was willing to believe them.
Because she could infer from Yang Fan's various past behaviors that this father-in-law was a man who kept his word.
Apart from sighing, Xu Hui also felt a little lucky. Maybe her future life would be much better than living in the deep palace.
After letting go of the grudge in her heart, Xu Hui took on a new look and gradually opened her heart to Yang Fan.
The more the two of them talked, the more harmonious they became, and they felt as if they had not met for a long time.
However, this made Yang Fan panic, because this talented girl was just a little naughty when she let go.
When Yang Fan gained some experience, he was still able to keep up.
But when it comes to poetry and poetry, Yang Fan is a little dumbfounded!
Although there are many pirated poems in my mind, these poems are not suitable for the occasion, and they are a bit wrong when I take them out.
As a result, Yang Fan could only pray that the carriage would arrive faster.
Perhaps Yang Fan's prayer had an effect. The carriage drove into the mansion gate with a swaying motion. Yang Fan quickly jumped out of the carriage and strode towards the main hall.
Looking at Yang Fan who was annoyed by her, Xu Hui's big eyes kept shining, as if she had discovered some treasure.
The behavior just now was also a trial for her, and the result was obviously satisfactory.
Xu Hui smiled brightly. Maybe it was really interesting to live with such a person!
Looking at Yang Fan who was getting out of the car in a hurry, Xu Hui couldn't help but smile and followed Yang Fan closely.
For some reason, when facing Yang Fan, Xu Hui felt the comfort of home, which she could not experience in the palace.
…
As night falls, the lights in the main hall are brightly lit, just like daytime.
Yang Fan's mansion is probably one of the brightest homes in this era at night.
The white solar light bulbs are enough to illuminate every dark corner, making the luxurious floor tiles clearly visible.
All red sandalwood furniture is placed against the wall, with a landscape painting of the Four Gentlemen of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum on it.
There is a large screen not far from the main hall door. You need to go around the screen to see clearly the furnishings in the main hall.
Wu Meiniang, Wu Shun, and Xiao Shiyun were sitting opposite each other, with various fruits placed on the table in front of them.
Several people giggled from time to time while talking and laughing, and their pretty faces made the main hall even brighter.
Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the house, the women looked towards the door together.
Unfortunately, the view was not clear due to the screen blocking the view.
Xing'er and Wan'er, who were waiting on the side, had already come forward to greet him.
As soon as Yang Fan walked around the screen and walked in, Xing'er reached out and took the coat he took off and put it on the hanger nearby.
Wan'er took the warm water that had been prepared and helped him wash his face and rinse his mouth. Everything was so natural.
Looking at the two little maids, Yang Fan couldn't help but sigh.
The young and yellow-haired girl in the past has grown out, with a delicate melon-seed face, arched eyebrows like autumn water, a small and delicate nose like a carving, cherry-red lips, and a faint fragrance wafting through her body...
It’s really a transformation of women!
In just over two years, adzuki bean sprouts have already completed a miraculous transformation.
Looking at the two busy girls, Yang Fan couldn't help but laugh secretly.
It is simply incredible that the women who are like goddesses in later generations are just two of his maids.
I like this evil feudal society!
As soon as Yang Fan put down his facekerchief, Wu Meiniang came up to him with his coat and said with a smile: "Husband, didn't you say you would come back after entering the palace to deliver the memorial? Why is it so late? We are still waiting for you to have dinner!"
At this time, Wu Meiniang was wearing a colorful singlet, a waistcoat draped over her shoulders, and a light yellow pleated quicksand skirt. She was moving and charming in every move.
Yang Fan put on his coat, looked at the girls who were waiting for him to go home, and said, "Something happened in the palace, and then I met an interesting person..."
Only then did Wu Meiniang notice Xu Hui walking in with Yang Fan. She was slightly surprised and asked: "Husband, are you talking about her? What is this person's name?"
As her horizons improved, Wu Meiniang's eyes became more precise.
Just by looking at her, I realized there was something unusual about this girl.
Although the girl's clothes are not expensive, the girl's beautiful and dignified expression and demeanor are indeed noble.
This shows that the girl must have a strict upbringing. She is neither a fan of a brothel nor an ordinary girl from a small family.
Entering the palace, where did Yang Fan bring back such a beautiful little beauty?
When Wu Meiniang looked at Xu Hui, the talented woman also noticed the women in the main hall.
But she was quickly shocked by the appearance and temperament of Wu Meiniang and the girls!
Not to mention the two extremely beautiful maids, Wu Meiniang and the other girls are just like fairies descending to earth.
Even though there were many beauties in the palace, Xu Hui had never seen such an outstanding woman.
If she hadn't followed Yang Fan in, Xu Hui would have thought she had entered a fairyland!
Then Xu Hui smiled bitterly!
Originally, she thought that with her beauty and talent, she would soon gain a foothold in Yang Fan's house, but it seems that she was a little overconfident!
In terms of looks alone, Wu Meiniang and the other girls are even better than her.
Xu Hui, who was deeply hit, could only make secret calculations. It seemed that in the future, she would only be able to reflect her own value in other ways.
Because of the secret competition between women, Xu Hui naturally placed herself in the ranks of Yang Fan's women.
Seeing that the girls were just looking at each other and keeping silent, Yang Fan knew what these girls were thinking, and he was a little bit dumbfounded: "Let's get to know each other... this is Xu Hui, you will be sisters from now on, and you must take care of each other..."
Seeing that everyone was silent, Yang Fan continued:
"Ahem, do you think I'm just hooking up outside? In your eyes, I'm just a pervert who just deceives and kidnaps little girls?"
Wu Meiniang just snorted and gave Yang Fan a charming look, while Xiao Shiyun and Wu Shun acquiesced.
Yang Fan had no choice but to explain: "This is a talented girl from the south of the Yangtze River. She was originally a beautiful lady in the palace. This time she solved the problem of spring plowing and cracked down the bandits... Your Majesty made an exception..."
As Yang Fan's housekeeper, Wu Meiniang certainly knew that Yang Fan was not a libertine.
If Yang Fan is really a libertine, then there are only a few women like them so far!
Wu Meiniang was quickly relieved when she heard that Xu Hui was used by the emperor to reward her husband!
He immediately stepped forward and took Xu Hui's little hand, and quickly expressed his position: "We have a great talent in our family. It is really gratifying. Welcome sister to join our big family... But we are really destined!"
Wu Meiniang also entered the palace through beautiful women, so of course she knew the helplessness of these beautiful women.
If you are favored by the emperor, you may have a chance to rise to the top, but more often than not you will end up alone.
Sometimes they are even directly rewarded to meritorious officials.
It would be better if Yang Fan, who is young and strong and can take care of women, is rewarded.
If the reward is given to an old man who is on the verge of death, or a gangster who does not regard women as human beings, that will be the tragic beginning of a beautiful woman like them.
Of course Wu Meiniang could understand Xu Hui's hesitation and helplessness at this time, so she was particularly sympathetic to her experience.
Xu Hui stared blankly at Wu Meiniang in front of her, unable to believe her ears.
She had thought of various ways to meet, either being ignored or being squeezed out...but she just didn't expect to be accepted so easily.
In an instant, Xu Hui's crystal tears fell down again, as if she wanted to vent all her grievances.
Seeing the girls chatting non-stop, they were already like sisters. Yang Fan was a little speechless. He walked to a chair and sat down. He smiled and said: "You will have plenty of time to chat in the future, so you should hurry up and prepare dinner. By the way, there is another distinguished guest today."
, I’ll introduce it to you later.”
Wu Meiniang raised her head and asked in surprise: "Husband, wasn't the person you were talking about just now Sister Xu Hui?"
"of course not!"
"Since you are a distinguished guest, do you want to prepare anything special?"
"It doesn't matter, you can just eat whatever you like. What's more, sister Xu Hui is a member of the family, not a guest."
Hearing this, Xu Hui couldn't help but smile shyly.
Yang Fan is really domineering!
Just now, I said I would let myself choose, but as soon as I got home, I said I was one of my own family.
However, it is really warm!
But Wu Meiniang and the girls who often get along with Yang Fan know that Yang Fan's words are not polite.
As long as he treats him sincerely, Yang Fan will return the favor a thousand times.
This husband really doesn't like etiquette, and he is friendly and casual when dealing with others.
Even if he is an ordinary groom, he can still chat in an approachable manner.
As his woman, there is nothing wrong with Xu Hui being so close to Yang Fan.
Unfortunately, Xu Hui was a little uncomfortable with such rapid progress. She wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
Yang Fan calls her one of his family members, does that mean he has to sleep with her at night?
Xu Hui felt that these words were too ambiguous, and her pretty face suddenly turned red.
I was not sure whether Yang Fan said it casually or if he meant something.
She was so panicked that she glared at Yang Fan with a pair of beautiful eyes full of anger and resentment, and could only look at Wu Meiniang for help.
Xu Hui's glance made Yang Fan confused, wondering what could have offended this charming and talented woman?
If he knew that Xu Hui had such a rich imagination, Yang Fan would definitely suggest her to write novels.
Sure enough, women still understand women!
Wu Meiniang took Xu Hui's hand and walked over and said: "Sister, since my husband said so, he does not treat you as an outsider. You don't need to be polite in the house. If you need anything, just give instructions to the servants."
"Now that my sister has not yet grown up, I will wait two years and ask your husband to plead with His Majesty on your behalf. You will be exempted from your status as a slave, and you can live a good life with our husband."
Hearing Wu Meiniang's seductive words, Xu Hui was at a loss and didn't know how to respond.
I really don’t know if Yang Fan is her benefactor or enemy.
Call it a benefactor, at least Yang Fan helped him escape from the indifferent deep palace garden.
Let’s talk about enemies, but Yang Fan begged her as if she were a commodity!
Yang Fan smiled, and when he stood up, he certainly knew the tangle in Xu Hui's heart.
After asking Wu Meiniang to settle Xu Hui well, Yang Fan sent someone to invite Pei Xingjian to come quickly!
