The three ladies of the Governor's Office were happy, and the news spread throughout Huating County in the shortest possible time.
Yang Fan was also cheerful and directly announced that all the land tax for the people of Huating County this year would be borne by the governor as a celebration.
Of course, people rushed to praise such a good deed, and Yang Fan's reputation suddenly rose to the top.
If anyone dares to say a bad word about Yang Fan now, maybe the people here will tear these lives away.
After lunch, the ladies went back to the backyard to rest, while Yang Fan and Yang Laifu sat in the hall chatting.
"Sir, our Yang family now has a successor. This old slave is relieved. Even if he goes to see his old master now, he has no regrets. God bless him!"
At this time, Yang Laifu's old face was smiling.
This made Yang Fan feel funny and even more moved.
A sincere domestic slave like Yang Laifu cannot be bought with money.
Without Yang Laifu, Yang Fan's predecessor might have starved to death long ago, and there would be nothing wrong with Yang Fan now.
"Uncle Fu, the days are still long and it will only get better in the future. What's there to worry about? Besides, I'm still young, so there's no need to worry about my heirs."
"Young Master has taught you a lesson."
Yang Laifu did not rely on his old age and did not refute. Instead, he smiled stupidly.
Now that Yang Fan has achieved such great achievements at such a young age, what else can Yang Laifu be dissatisfied with?
Seeing Yang Laifu's silly look, Yang Fan couldn't help but joked: "Uncle Fu, don't worry about this and that all the time. How are you and the single lady doing?"
"Since Madam Shan is willing to follow you to Jiangnan, it seems that she has made up her mind and you are quite old. You must get a few younger ones as soon as possible. Otherwise, the princess and the others will have no playmates when they give birth to children."
"You don't need to worry about other things now. Just focus on walking around Jiangnan with the single lady. Let's finalize the matter as soon as possible and I'll hold a wedding for you."
Hearing this, Yang Laifu was moved beyond words.
After all, what master would value his domestic slaves so much?
There is only my father-in-law in the entire Tang Dynasty!
This also made Yang Laifu more determined to give birth to several children as soon as possible so that they could continue to serve the Yang family for generations to come.
Thinking of this, Yang Laifu no longer hesitated, but said firmly: "Thank you for your concern, sir. This time I go to Jiangnan, I also want to ask you to fulfill me."
"Uncle Fu, you don't have to be like this. I agree with your matter. Let's pick a good and auspicious day and get it done quickly, right?" Yang Fan was slightly stunned and chuckled.
Instead, Yang Laifu became serious and said cautiously: "Master, there is something that I have to confess to you."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Yang Fan asked in surprise.
In front of him, Yang Laifu had never been so serious.
Yang Laifu became hesitant: "Sir, in fact, Mrs. Shan's surname is not Shan, but Wang, and her name is Shufen. She is the legacy of Shan Xiongxin..."
"What? Is Shan Xiongxin's legacy?" Yang Fan couldn't believe it and stood up suddenly.
Shan Xiongxin is not a simple character.
This man was brave and agile, good at using horses and horses, and was extremely brave. He was known as the "Flying General". Because he was friends with Xu Shiji (Li Ji), they swore to live and die together.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he participated in the Wagang Uprising, followed Li Mi, was awarded the title of General Zuo Wuhou, and participated in the Battle of Yanshi.
After the defeat, he surrendered to Wang Shichong and was awarded the title of general. When resisting the attack of the Tang army, he almost killed Li Shimin.
In the fourth year of Wude (621), he followed Wang Shichong and surrendered to the Tang army, but was executed by Li Yuan.
This is the only person who is not a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, but appears in the official history of the Tang Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, this single lady turned out to be Shan Xiongxin’s legacy.
No wonder that when she was in Junyangfang, this single lady was able to take care of all the men.
But something is wrong!
In the original history, Shan Xiongxin's descendants were protected by Li Ji and were not implicated. How could this Shan Xiongxin become a refugee and come to Junyangfang.
Yang Laifu answered Yang Fan’s questions.
It turns out that Wang Shufen is not Shan Xiongxin’s wife, but a concubine.
After Shan Xiongxin defected to Wang Shichong, in order to win over this tiger general, Wang Shichong betrothed his righteous queen Shufen to Shan Xiongxin as his concubine.
Unfortunately, Wang Shichong led his troops to surrender not long after.
After Shan Xiongxin died, Wang Shufen discovered that she was pregnant.
At that time, except for a few people, no one knew that Wang Shufen was Shan Xiongxin's concubine.
In order not to be implicated, Wang Shufen changed her name and went into hiding.
After hearing the explanation, Yang Fan understood.
No wonder Yang Laifu is so nervous!
Even if Li Ji preserved Shan Xiongxin's descendants, they were all sent to the border areas.
Once Wang Shufen's identity is exposed, Li Shimin may not tolerate her.
After all, Shan Xiongxin almost killed Li Shimin.
Now that Wang Shufen has decided to stay with her housekeeper, Yang Fan certainly won't be afraid because of her identity.
"As long as you stay together, I don't have any problem." Just in case, Yang Fan paused and asked again: "How many people know the identity of Madam Wang's wife? Besides, didn't you just say that Madam Wang's wife was You are already pregnant, and the offspring will be a boy or a girl, where are you now?”
Yang Laifu smiled brightly: "Only the British Master Li Ji knows the identity of the Wang family's wife. When the Wang family's wife gave birth to a baby girl, you actually know the young master too."
"I know him? Who is it?" Yang Fan looked confused.
I went through all the women I knew one by one in my mind, but there was no one that matched my number.
Just when he was about to ask, a voice came from beside him.
"Please forgive me, sir. My daughter is Li Siwen, the second son of the British prince..."
Turning around, I saw it was the single lady...
Well, it turns out that Wang Shufen was walking out of the backyard of the Governor's Mansion carrying a fruit plate.
Maybe he just happened to overhear the conversation between the two, so he interrupted.
But Wang Shufen's words made Yang Fan even more confused.
Is Li Siwen a woman?
Yang Fan felt that he had tinnitus.
After all, Yang Fan had a lot of dealings with Li Siwen.
Although Li Siwen looks too handsome, can't he still tell whether he is a boy or a girl?
However, when I carefully recalled Li Siwen's daily actions, it seemed a little strange.
That kid never bathed with Yang Fan and the others, and never went to a brothel to have fun. Apart from being gay, this was the only reason that made sense.
Yang Fan immediately began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his eyes.
Perhaps knowing that Yang Fan was very confused, Wang Shufen put down the fruit plate and explained: "My little girl has been learning from strangers since she was a child and is proficient in the art of makeover, so she is usually not discovered by anyone."
"Oh? Disguise is so powerful?" Yang Fan was surprised.
Disguise?
Wang Shufen was stunned by this novel word. She quickly understood the meaning of the word and explained again: "The art of makeover is not to change the appearance, but to use the method of moving Qi to change some women's characteristics..."
Hearing this, Yang Fan couldn't help but sigh, there are indeed many wonders in the world!
I didn't expect that a time traveler like myself would be deceived. The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.
There are many things in this world that cannot be understood without advanced knowledge.
If Wang Shufen hadn't said that Li Siwen was studying art, Yang Fan would have really wanted to see what was so special about this transformation technique.
After saying this, Yang Fan finally remembered.
Why did Li Siwen in the original history change his name to Wu Siwen when Wu Zetian was in power, and even became very hostile to the Tang royal family? It turned out to be this reason!
Since Wang Shufen likes Yang Laifu and she is the mother of her 'good brother', Yang Fan smiled and nodded and said: "Aunt Wang, Uncle Fu...since they are all members of the same family, how about you choose a good day to hold a lively wedding? "
Wang Shufen waved her hand and refused: "I don't bother you, sir. I have looked away from it over the years. As long as two people support each other, the form is not that important."
Yang Laifu also rubbed his hands and continued: "Sir, Madam Wang is right. I don't need to trouble you. I just need your permission."
"Okay, since you all said so, then we won't make any big fuss. However, it is still necessary to invite some close people to bear witness. I will arrange this matter."
Now that both of them had said that, Yang Fan didn't say anything else and made a decision directly.
"Thank you, sir." Yang Laifu and Wang Shufen did not refuse this time, their eyes were filled with gratitude.
They knew that Yang Fan was so cautious because he treated them as family members.
Otherwise, which master would find someone to witness the marriage of a slave?
What's more, Wang Shufen is still a widow and a guilty person.
After the discussion, Yang Fan left space for the two of them, and he accompanied Princess Changle and others for a walk.
After all, a pregnant woman should move around more to ensure smooth delivery in the future.
"Be careful, there is water here, it's very slippery..."
"Be careful, there is a step here, watch your step..."
"Wait, I'll help you over..."
In the back garden, Yang Fan was seen carefully following the girls from Changle, constantly reminding them.
One moment he supports Princess Changle, the other moment he supports Wu Meiniang, the next moment he supports Xiao Shiyun...
Now Yang Fan wishes he had the ability to clone himself.
"Lang Jun, you don't need to help us. We can do it. Didn't Taoist Master Sun Simiao say it all? It's only about seven months now and it doesn't affect walking."
Seeing Yang Fan helping each other hurriedly like taking care of a child, the girls from Changle let out a chuckle, burst into laughter, and kept explaining.
"I know...I know...Oh, be careful. This road is rarely used by people and may be slippery."
In fact, Yang Fan understands this truth very well.
In fact, for pregnancy, the first two months and the last month are the most dangerous.
Now that the baby has settled down, as long as it is not strenuous exercise, the impact will not be much.
You know, you know, but this is the first time in Yang Fan's life that he has his own bloodline, so of course he is careful about everything.
Seeing Yang Fan like this, the girls felt both funny and sweet.
I didn’t expect that the usually smart husband would become so clumsy, even for his mother-in-law.
It's as if a pregnant woman can't walk.
However, Yang Fan's behavior made the girls happy.
After all, what is there to be dissatisfied about having a husband who loves you so much?
In many things, without comparison, the gap cannot be found.
The girls were all born into wealthy families, so naturally they saw many women getting pregnant at the same time.
Especially Princess Changle, there are so many women in her father's palace, so of course there will be many women getting pregnant at almost the same time.
But throughout the year, my father spent most of his time dealing with state affairs.
Even if I have time, I will stay with a woman who is not pregnant.
For those pregnant women, they can only stay in an empty room alone, and their father has no consideration and concern at all.
Think about how my father's behavior compares with today's Yang Fan...
Princess Changle originally thought that her father was the best man in the world.
But now it seems that there is a huge difference!
"Lang Jun, why do you only care about Sister Changle and the others? You are too partial. Gao Yang followed me all the way and you didn't even say a word to me."
Seeing Yang Fan taking great care of the three girls of Changle and flirting with each other until the end, Princess Gaoyang, who was walking behind, complained with a pouted mouth.
In the past few days, Yang Fan's attention has been entirely on the three girls of Changle, while the girls of Gaoyang, who are not pregnant, have been left out in the cold.
Seeing the resentful expressions of Gao Yang, Xu Hui, and Wu Shun, Yang Fan smiled awkwardly.
I have really ignored the feelings of the three women these days.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan quickly apologized and said: "Ladies, please be patient. I apologize to you. I will pay attention to you in the future."
Yang Fan's move made Gao Yang a little overwhelmed.
She was always restless, but now that she had been staying in the Governor's Mansion for several days, she couldn't help but complain.
In fact, this kind of complaint is not jealousy, it's just a matter of personality.
She mainly wanted to attract Yang Fan's attention.
Now that Yang Fan apologized in person, Princess Gaoyang was a little overwhelmed.
After all, even if a man did something wrong at this time, he would not say such a thing.
But Yang Fan said it without hesitation, he was simply a maverick!
Yang Fan's actions naturally fell into the eyes of Xu Hui and the other girls.
Whether it was caring for the pregnant woman with all her heart, or the apology she just made without any pretense, this was an act that could only be done by a strange man in the world.
Although the status of women in the Tang Dynasty was higher than that of other dynasties, there were almost no people in the entire Tang Dynasty who cared for women like Yang Fan.
Even those princes-in-law, when the princess was pregnant, most of them went to the brothel to be romantic, how could they find time to accompany their own women!
Not to mention that Yang Fan made an unintentional mistake just because he didn't take good care of him.
"Husband, don't say that, Gao Yang knows he is wrong!" Princess Gao Yang's eyes were full of mist, like a child who had done something wrong.
Yang Fan hugged Princess Gao Yang and said with a smile: "Oh, did Her Royal Highness really make a mistake? If you make a mistake, your husband will have to take care of you according to the family law."
Hearing Yang Fan's joking words, the girls couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Everyone knows how cruel Yang Fan's family methods are, which makes people both love and fear him.
Suddenly being hugged by Yang Fan and hearing everyone's laughter, Princess Gaoyang's petite face turned red.
Yang Fan also knew that the joke should not be taken too far, so he quickly said: "Okay, whoever dares to make fun of our Highness Princess Gaoyang again will be treated according to the family law."
"Since our princess dislikes my husband for spending so little time with you, well, my husband will take you to the Gaoyang Princess in two days, okay?"
Hearing this, Princess Gaoyang raised her head and said in disbelief: "Husband, are you telling the truth? Did you really build the Princess Gaoyang ship for Gaoyang?"
Yang Fan nodded affirmatively: "Of course, my husband will never lie to you."
"Now the crew is getting familiar with the operating platform, and we will be able to conduct a trial voyage in a few days."
"When the time comes, I will let you see the power of our Princess Gaoyang. It is a sea-going ship that can carry nearly ten thousand people."
After hearing this, Princess Gaoyang was inexplicably moved. She could no longer care about her shyness and couldn't help but kiss her.
The trace of resentment in my heart has long been forgotten.
Yang Fan actually built such a huge ship with her title of Gao Yang, how could she not be moved?
A woman is a sensual person. For the person she loves, as long as the lover makes the slightest response, she will give everything she has without any complaints.
When they heard that Yang Fan had built a ship for Princess Gao Yang that could carry tens of thousands of people, the girls immediately became interested.
You must know that current warships can only carry about 1,000 people at most, but they can carry tens of thousands of people. How big is that!
The eyes of the girls were full of expectation, and they looked at Yang Fan eagerly.
It seemed that as long as Yang Fan didn't take them to see it, he would cry immediately.
Seeing this, Yang Fan dared not refuse, and quickly said: "As long as you don't get seasick, we can all go together when the time comes. Now let's enjoy the flowers together. The osmanthus in the garden will bloom in the next few days!"
Xu Hui looked at Yang Fan, then at the women, and said with a smile: "I like osmanthus the most, and my husband is famous far and wide. I will write a poem later to make this trip worthwhile."
As a talented woman, Xu Hui naturally loves poetry.
When Yang Fan wrote his world-famous poems in Chang'an City, Xu Hui had not yet followed Yang Fan.
Now that I have the opportunity to meet Yang Fan's talent, I naturally don't want to miss the opportunity.
All the girls were united and naturally responded to the instructions, pulling Yang Fan along to smell the fragrance and learn the way with a smile.
The fragrance of osmanthus is very strong. Even though the girls have just arrived in Jiangnan, it is still easy to identify the direction of the osmanthus tree.
Of course, the entire back garden was decorated uniquely by Yang Fan. In addition to osmanthus, there were also many other seasonal flowers.
For a time, everyone was swimming in the sea of flowers.
When everyone came to the back, hundreds of sweet-scented osmanthus trees were lined with golden flowers, and bursts of fragrant fragrance came with the wind.
The scent of osmanthus attracts many bees buzzing among the flowers, showing the natural beauty.
"Husband, these osmanthus flowers are so fragrant and beautiful!"
Gao Yang's eyes were filled with golden color and he couldn't help but sigh.
The girls also secretly sighed in their hearts.
As a husband, I really know how to enjoy things.
This back garden is simply a large garden. Even the palace does not have such a large back garden.
Along the way, there are not only various scenic forests, but also flowers of various seasons. It is simply too luxurious.
However, if my husband has this capital, isn't it money, and the Yang family has it in abundance.
"It is indeed so beautiful. It reminds me of the description in "Peach Blossom Spring" - suddenly I came across a peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps across the bank, there are no trees in the middle, the grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful... The beauty of this sweet-scented osmanthus forest , even better than the beauty of the peach blossom forest, the sweet-scented osmanthus is my favorite, I wonder if my husband can write a poem for me?"
Xu Hui opened her red lips lightly and praised the beauty of the sweet-scented osmanthus forest. At the same time, she saw Yang Fan in a blink of an eye.
"Ahem! Of course!" Yang Fan nodded quickly, but then said: "My wife is a talented girl from the south of the Yangtze River, and she loves this sweet-scented osmanthus very much. If you have any good poems, you might as well recite them first for everyone to appreciate, and my husband will add them later. superior?"
Faced with the request of this talented wife, how could Yang Fan refuse.
However, I didn’t have much in my stomach, so I had to think about which song was more suitable, so I had to let this talented girl come first!
Xu Hui did not refuse, and after pondering for a moment, he recited a poem.
Although Yang Fan doesn't know how to appreciate it, judging from the expressions of the girls, this poem is definitely not bad.
Being able to write such a poem in a short period of time makes Xu Hui truly worthy of her reputation as a talented woman.
Seeing Xu Hui looking at him eagerly, Yang Fan knew that he could no longer escape, so he had to clear his throat and chanted the revised version of "Partridge Sky".
“The body is dim and light yellow, the nature is soft, the traces of deep love are far away and the fragrance remains;
Why does it need light green and deep red? It is naturally the best among flowers. "
As soon as this poem came out, all the girls covered their mouths and laughed secretly, but Xu Hui's face turned red.
I remember the time when everyone had a sweet exchange with Yang Fan.
Yang Fan said that Xu Hui was a girl from the south of the Yangtze River, with a soft body and even developed many restricted moves.
Now this poem is dedicated to Xu Hui, and it reminds everyone of the words in the boudoir.
Dull, light yellow body and soft nature...
He is the best among flowers...
Doesn't it imply that there are some moves that only Xu Hui, a Jiangnan woman, can do?
Unknowingly, the girls' thoughts deviated directly from the topic.
Seeing the strange looks in everyone's eyes, Yang Fan was a little confused.
This is a poem by Li Qingzhao. Is there anything wrong with it?
If Yang Fan knew the evil thoughts in the hearts of the girls, he didn't know if Yang Fan would directly serve them.
