Devil’s Advent

Chapter 428

Uncle hey~~~

What is a natural beauty? Uncle Zheng has seen it this time. Compared with the woman in front of him, the twelve beauties who are holding a poetry meeting in the pavilion outside are simply a group of junior high school students.

Zheng Fan felt that he was a person with strong self-control, but at the moment, he couldn't control himself anymore.

Si Niang is not here again,

The meat sent to my mouth in vain,

If you don't take a bite, you may disappoint Fan Zhengwen's kindness towards you. At the same time, it may affect your cooperation with the Fan family and the success or failure of the follow-up Princess Jie, which will affect the battle between Yan and Chu, and then affect the overall situation in the East. The pattern of the whole world.

Liu Ruqing didn't know why she was so afraid of the man in front of her.

When his eyes fell upon himself,

I will instinctively feel a kind of fear,

It was as if a wild beast had put its fangs on his shoulders, making him unable to control himself.

This is actually a very normal thing. Although the Fan family is said to be a slave of the Qu family, the Qu family is a top-ranking noble in the Great Chu, otherwise they would not have the status of the Zhu Kingdom. Therefore, the Fan family, don't look at the official face. The political status in society is not high, but in the secular world, she is already a very popular and noble family.

Living in the Fan Mansion, Liu Ruqing usually only gets along with the girls in the mansion, so how could she have the chance to meet the real Qiu Ba, let alone Uncle Zheng, a military general who has truly come out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? .

What is Miss Liu looking for from me?

Yes...Ruqing was ordered by the old grandmother to come to ask uncle for diagnosis and treatment.

Oh, okay, let me check your pulse first.

No, no, no, uncle, Ruqing is here to ask uncle to treat the old grandmother.

Um?

want to come,

Fan Zhengwen arranged for himself an identity in the mansion, as a doctor, or a famous doctor.

Moreover, Zheng Fan still doesn't know who called Liu Ruqing the name Uncle. It seems that if he is of the same generation as Fan Zhengwen, Liu Ruqing can call him uncle, and if he is a generation older than Fan Zhengwen, he can also be called Uncle. uncle.

But, no matter what, it sounds nice to hear Liu Ruqing call her uncle anyway.

If possible, let Liu Ruqing stand beside her bed and call her uncle dozens of times before going to bed every night. The feeling will definitely soak into her bones.

However, who is the old grandmother of the Fan Mansion?

Is it Fan Zhengwen's mother? It seems to be grandma.

If you come here, you will be at peace. Zheng Fan has been quite satisfied with Fan Zhengwen's arrangement since he checked in for a day. There is no greasy meal piled up in front of you and the burden of persuading you to drink with you. You use it as you please.

Then please ask Miss Liu to lead the way.

Uncle, please follow me.

good.

Zheng Fan followed Liu Ruqing out of the house, seeing Zheng Fan coming out, all the beauties in the pavilion outside stood up and saluted Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan waved at them. After all, he hadn't had any specific dealings with them, and he just watched them eat through the window before.

The Fan Mansion is very big, but if you are not a servant but a guest, you will not feel that the size of the Fan Mansion is a kind of exhaustion. There are scenery everywhere, even in winter, it is still dizzying.

The yard where the old grandmother in Fan's house lived was about the same size as Qingfangzhai, but it was winter, and as soon as she walked into her yard, she could feel the heat waves immediately.

At the same time, there are so many flowers in the yard, how can there be any midwinter scene?

An old woman sat on the steps, looking around, not seeing a servant;

The old woman held a small shovel in her left hand and soil in her right hand. Obviously, she was picking up flowers and plants just now.

Don't think she is hard,

Because in this season, I don’t know how many old people are curled up in the corner and shivering with torn cotton wool that is not very warm, even they themselves don’t know whether they can survive this winter;

At this time, it is already an extremely rare luxury to be able to wear only a gown and go to the ground to tidy up flowers and plants and do small tasks.

Grandmother, granddaughter-in-law brought uncle.

Granddaughter-in-law?

It seems that it is really grandma's generation.

The woman in front of him was Fan Zhengwen's grandmother, because Liu Ruqing was the wife of Fan Zhengwen's younger brother.

Succeed, daughter-in-law of Xiao Si's family, go down first and order the cook to prepare some mung bean soup, but the heat is killing me.

Yes, grandmother.

Liu Ruqing went down, and passed by Zheng Fan, leaving behind a burst of fragrant wind.

Not greasy, but satisfying hunger.

The old woman looked at Zheng Fan and scolded angrily:

He's still an uncle, have you never seen a woman?

Zheng Fan smiled, without any embarrassment, and in an instant, he entered his own state, saying:

No, I haven't seen such a stunner much.

I don't like the word stunner, old woman. It always sounds like treating women as playthings.

Yes. Zheng Fan nodded.

Sit down, Uncle, there are melons over there, pick them and eat them yourself.

good.

Zheng Fan sat down and reached out to pick a melon. There was no need to wash it, the skin was not eaten anyway, and the fruit inside was eaten directly after peeling it off.

The juice is sweet and fragrant, delicious.

The old woman put the small shovel in her hand on the steps, looked at Zheng Fan, and said:

Old lady, how do you feel in this small courtyard?

Great, elegant. Zheng Fan wiped his mouth and replied, The last time I entered such a place was in the palace of the Emperor Qian.

Qianhuang also has a greenhouse, which is extremely warm in winter.

Of course, if you want to create this Xanadu in winter, the price must be huge.

No one finds it strange that the Emperor Qian can afford it, and the Fan Mansion can enjoy it like this, so it is inevitable that people will not think of the words wealth can rival a country.

The old woman smiled hehe and said: After living for so many years, I have grown a face today, and I can be put together with that official of Qian Kingdom.

Zheng Fan had previously told A Ming that he guessed that someone in the mansion wanted to see him, and it was an attitude of being visible and invisible. Presumably, it should be the old grandmother of the Fan family.

The old woman pointed around and said:

Look, it's hot, but the real hard work is actually silver. In this world, what really makes people feel warm is silver.

The old lady is right.

Oh? Uncle sees it that way too?

It's the most tormenting time when the money mill is pressing down on your hands.

That's not right, hehe, by the way, when the child Ruqing called Uncle your uncle earlier, how did Uncle feel?

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, so there is no need to argue with Liao Zhai.

Uncle Zheng could see that the old woman was unusual, so when dealing with it, he was very carefree.

It's really numb to the bone.

Hehehehe. The old woman laughed, stretched out her hand to grab a handful of mud, and threw it at Zheng Fan. Of course, she was just putting on a show, and said with a smile: They are all uncles, how can they treat their nieces and daughters like this? No shame, no shame.

Don't say that my uncle is inexplicable, what is it if he is a real uncle? It is said that in the rich and powerful families, pickled things are piled up as much as gold and silver.

It seems that Uncle Zheng only knows one thing and doesn't know the other.

Oh? I would like to hear more about it.

Nowadays, the Fan family seems to be extravagant, but they are all cooked and fried. As the servants of the Qu family, the Fan family, logically speaking, should give the majority of the harvest to the Qu family. It's really not that much that has been intercepted.

Today's great wealth and great wealth are due to Qu's use of Fan's family as a point of view, making a brand to attract people's hearts.

If it weren't for the fact that the Fan family still had some private businesses, the Fan family at this time was nothing more than a pink-faced skeleton.

What the old woman meant was that it was the Qu family who made the Fan family look so rich, this is the card;

If the emperor wants to attract people's hearts, he needs to treat his loyal ministers and generals favorably, and the same is true for a big noble like the Qu family.

However, in order to force the Fan family to grow up, a situation where the slaves bully the master eventually appeared, so the Fan family was forced to go all out. In addition to the regular money handed over to the Qu family every year, the remaining money of the Fan family had to be squandered.

It makes you look prosperous, but you are actually a puffy empty shelf.

This should be a check and balance strategy that Qu had set up a long time ago, but there are policies above and countermeasures below, and now the Fan family has finally risen, and the background hidden below is actually enough to surprise Qu.

The old woman threw the small shovel in her hand into the flowerbed in front of her,

road:

In the final analysis, if the state of Chu is not destroyed, my Fan family will never be able to rise to the top. The rich and noble families have been rich and honored for a long time, and some of them will be born with rich and noble diseases. Some, even if they are not sick, they are more hopeless than those who are sick. save;

Because he actually thought, why should I bow my knees in front of you, why should I have to be your slave and handmaid for generations?

Alas, to put it bluntly, it was all caused by overeating.

After hearing these words, Zheng Fan nodded.

Uncle also thinks so?

That's how people feel.

Yes, it's just because of my own heart, Zhengwen has already told me everything, and the Fan family will help you to the end whatever Uncle wants to do.

To speak heartfeltly,

It would be no pity to pay all of the current Fan family, as long as the Fan family can survive with one or two direct descendants, alas, side branches can also be made.

In the end, with the care and support of the uncle and the Sixth Highness, it is not difficult to build a new Fan family. At that time, at least he can be an upright person, can't he?

You think so clearly.

Transparent? Hehe, that's all I'm talking about. The parents of the text have left long ago. As for me, I'm still alive at a great age. It's a lie to say that I live a transparent life, because I myself In fact, I don't want to die.

After using utensils for a long time, they get tired and always want to slow down the taste, but people are not like this. Generally speaking, the longer people live, the more afraid of death they are.

Uncle, don't blame the old lady for my rambling. In fact, I didn't expect you to come to Fan Manor, Uncle. After all, your status is noble. According to your ability, Uncle, you have a thousand soldiers under your command. What is really going to happen? Thing, if you go to Mengshan Qishan, who can pat your chest and say that you can stop you?

But Uncle, you are here. Since you are here, I have to come to see you, my old lady, and talk to you. Regardless of whether these words are useful or not, we have to show some attitude.

yes.

Uncle, can you trust the art of metaphysics?

Zheng Fan smiled, shook his head, and said:

Not very convinced.

The old woman nodded and said: Actually, I don't believe in my old lady, but it's just unfortunate. I didn't believe in fate when I was a child, but she was said to be a Xuanxiu physique. I did divination when I was playing around. Everything works.

When he was young, he divination to his grandfather in the main text, and the divination said that this man is Wang's wife.

And Wang's wife?

If there are prosperous husbands, there will naturally be prosperous wives. It's just that most men in the world regard women as a foil, so they don't really care about them.

Back then, I thought, that's okay, marrying him, at least this life will be safe and smooth.

In one life, who can pat his chest and guarantee that the next six years will be smooth and stable without any bad things?

No.

So, if you marry, you will marry. In the beginning, Zhengwen's grandfather didn't like me. I was just a little nun at the time. Although I thought I was not bad, Zhengwen's grandfather already had a well-matched family.

As for me, I just cast a curse, the first time I cast this thing, it made the lady of the family die suddenly.

The old woman calmly recalled her happy life when she was young;

Then what happens next?

How can it be, the Fan family was also popular at the beginning, the Qu family's servant family, looking at it now, feels aggrieved, but back then, it was the first-class glory.

After two more deaths, his grandfather couldn't take it anymore;

The first one can be said to be a poor girl, the second one can only be said to be bad luck, and the third one can only be said to be unlucky, and even a fool can see that there is something wrong with him.

He came here to seek peace of mind in the Dao Temple. At that time, he was thinking of becoming a monk, so how could he, so he was drugged by me and slept with me.

oh?

In two months, I'm pregnant with Zhengwen's father.

Yo?

In another month, Zhengwen's grandfather will return to the mansion, and secretly married me into Fan's mansion. Marrying a nun and conceiving a child before marriage is disgraceful after all, so he did it without drumming.

But who told me that my life is good. I have a husband who is very prosperous. Not long after I started, my mother-in-law left. That mother-in-law thought I was very disliked at the beginning, and she always wanted to ask me to set rules.

Huh?

Don't worry, I didn't curse my mother-in-law. Am I that kind of person? She left on her own. The first child gave birth to Zheng Wen's father, and the eldest son has a descendant. The status is settled like this.

For the next few years, I have been living my life smoothly.

Until today.

envious.

Yeah, in this life, some people want to go to see the big wind and the big waves, but I just like to be smooth and comfortable.

Yes.

However, guess what, uncle you came into the house yesterday, and I made another calculation on a whim.

What hexagram?

I don't understand. The old woman shook her head.

Who is it for?

Of course it's for the Fan family.

Doctors don't heal themselves.

But I always know something.

Too.

In the hexagram, the future of the Fan family is uncertain. There is a vague risk of overthrow.

hear here,

Zheng Fan narrowed his eyes,

laughed:

What do you mean?

The meaning of the old woman's words is obvious.

Guess what I did next? I got excited again, and made another divination for myself. You know, I haven't made a divination for myself since I married Zheng Wen's grandfather.

What about this hexagram?

The smile on the old woman's face gradually faded away,

finally,

into a hopeless calm,

Word by word:

The old age is ominous.

Zheng Fan took a breath, nodded, and said:

This is amazing.

Actually, I don't believe in fate. The old woman said.

You have to keep up with this tradition.

But my hexagrams have allowed me to live a smooth and stable life for more than sixty years.

Then what do you mean?

Human, just don't eat too much. If you eat too much, he will easily think about his thoughts.

You said that before.

The main text is too full.

It's a blessing.

No, it's not luck, uncle, you said you don't believe in fate.

Yes, I don't believe it. Didn't Master Zang go to Yanjing to cut off the dragon's veins back then, but it's not like you can't see what Dayan is like now.

Because there are some people whose fate is hard. His Majesty the Emperor Yan is such a person. This kind of person's fate cannot be changed by others. He can even affect the life of anyone who has come into contact with him.

Uncle, you actually have this kind of fate.

Because since you entered Chu, my fate and that of the Fan family have all been changed.

Blame me?

yes.

Be reasonable.

I am a woman.

But you are old.

Could it be that only young women are qualified to be unreasonable?

That's not true.

The old woman nodded, and suddenly said with a smile: Is Uncle scared?

It's a little bit.

You lied to my old lady, Uncle is someone who has seen big battles, how could he be afraid of me, an old woman?

Everyone in the world knows that Xuanxiu is good at playing tricks, but everyone also knows that we can't do it if we fight.

This is the Fan Mansion after all. Zheng Fan pointed to his feet.

Uncle is right, this is Fan's residence after all.

The old woman slowly closed her eyes,

road:

Old lady, I'm tired, please uncle to go find Ruqing later, and tell me that I told you to help her regulate her blood. This girl has a hard life, and my grandson is also poor, so I can't bear her.

Uncle Zheng rubbed his hands in embarrassment,

road:

What's the point of that?

Old lady, I just said that your fate is tough and you can bear it.

well.

Uncle Zheng sighed.

road:

Well, if I don't go to hell, whoever will go to hell.

Uncle Zheng stood up,

Walking out of the aura of rustling wind and cold water,

Walked out of the courtyard.

At the gate of the small courtyard, Uncle Zheng stopped slightly, stretched himself, and then continued to walk forward.

Shaoqing,

A group of dead waiters dressed in black with sharp knives walked out from the flower garden in the small courtyard. These were raised by the Fan family, and they were extremely loyal.

Fan Zhengwen also walked to the gate of the small courtyard, looked around, waved his hands, and all the dead soldiers retreated.

immediately,

Fan Zhengwen walked into the courtyard.

The old woman still sat on the steps,

Open your eyes slightly,

Glancing at his grandson,

road:

There are legends in the rivers and lakes that when the Marquis of Jingnan killed himself, he personally invited the old uncle to die;

what's the matter

Do you want to learn from him?

Fan Zhengwen said: I yearn for it.

Are you also worthy of Wada Mujing?
