Yang Fan could tell that his surname was extraordinary. Although the other party was just a commoner, he didn't dare to be careless. He quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands towards the young man, saying with a smile, "I'm Yang Fan. You and I are both juniors of Uncle Gongsun. Let's just be friends and don't talk about official positions!"
This Dugu Yu wasn't a pretentious person. He probably didn't take the title of a doctor to heart. He laughed heartily and did as Yang Fan said. In terms of age, although Dugu Yu looked as young as Yang Fan, he was four years older than Yang Fan. In this way, Yang Fan could call him elder brother.
Dugu Yu had a close relationship with Gongsun Bufan's family. Yang Fan's visit today was just to pay his respects and didn't have anything private to talk about. Therefore, Gongsun Bufan didn't ask this nephew to leave.
Yang Fan exchanged some pleasantries and thanked Gongsun Bufan for taking care of Xiaoman. Gongsun Bufan said, "Nephew must be very concerned about Xiaoman since you've come from afar. How can this old man pull you to talk nonsense? Nephew, go and see Xiaoman. Since you're here, you naturally have to stay in this old man's residence. We'll talk about it in detail later. "
Yang Fan quickly stood up and thanked him. Dugu Yu also stood up and smiled. "Dugu and Erlang hit it off the first time we met. Now that we're still chatting, I'll hold a banquet to invite you again and we'll have a good chat. What do you think?"
"That's my wish. I don't dare to invite you!"
Yang Fan readily agreed and cupped his hands towards him with a smile. Only then did he go to see Xiaoman with the accompaniment of the Gongsun family members.
Gongsun Bufan stroked his beard and glanced at Yang Fan's back. After he withdrew his gaze, he saw that Dugu Yu was still looking at Yang Fan's disappearing back with a slightly contemplative expression, and he couldn't help but snort coldly. "You brat, you never visit unless it's New Year. You've completely forgotten that I and your father are sworn brothers. I'm afraid you're not here to visit me for being so attentive today, right?"
Dugu Yu hurriedly put on a wronged expression and said, "Uncle, you've really wronged your nephew. Your nephew sincerely came to visit you today …"
"F * ck off!"
Gongsun Bufan scolded with a smile, but then he frowned and said, "I've watched Xiaoman grow up. Although she's not my daughter, I still regard her as my own. Yang Fan is her husband, so don't have any bad ideas about him."
Dugu Yu hurriedly said, "Uncle is worrying too much. Dugu sincerely wants to befriend Erlang. I definitely don't have any bad intentions."
Gongsun Bufan looked at him suspiciously, but Dugu Yu faced him calmly. His eyes were crystal clear like a stream that could see the bottom.
Gongsun Bufan heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Even if you don't have any bad intentions, you're not allowed to mess around in my house. I'm very free and carefree, and I don't want to get involved in the dog-eat-dog affairs of your noble families!"
Dugu Yu smiled apologetically and said, "I'll naturally follow Uncle's instructions!"
…
Xiaoman was still in the gazebo. When Yang Fan walked in, A 'Nu pulled Gongsun Lanzhi away.
Gongsun Lanzhi was obviously still somewhat unhappy with Yang Fan's previous rebuttal, but she was still very considerate towards this Junior Sister of hers. In front of her Junior Sister, she didn't want to argue with her husband again. She only used her pair of heroic big eyes to fiercely glare at this overbearing brother-in-law who didn't give her face, and then strode away with a pair of long legs like a tiger.
When Xiaoman saw Yang Fan walking over, there was no one else in her eyes, and she immediately greeted him happily. Yang Fan saw that she had a big belly and walked so fast, but he was very worried. He hurriedly stepped forward and held her waist with one hand and stroked her towering belly with the other. He was full of joy when he felt that his life was connected with Xiaoman's.
Xiaoman was helped into the gazebo by Langjun and sat down. Seeing his careful and abnormally happy look, the joy of seeing her husband turned into happiness and satisfaction, as well as a kind of motherly gentleness and pride, "I knew that Langjun would definitely come back before the child is born. These two days, the child has been very noisy, punching and kicking all day long. He probably knows that his father is coming back soon …"
Xiaoman snuggled into Yang Fan's arms and said sweetly.
Yang Fan hugged her, looked at her smiling face, and listened to her whispers. His heart was abnormally satisfied and peaceful.
There was a wind blowing in the gazebo, but Yang Fan's mind was completely immersed in his beloved wife and the child that was about to be born.
As soon as Xiaoman saw Yang Fan, she talked incessantly, and she said a lot …
She said that Anu was defeated by Senior Sister Gongsun in a sword competition. She was not convinced, so she challenged Senior Sister again and again. She was defeated again and again, and she had completely given up these two days. She was no longer interested in competing with Senior Sister. However, Senior Sister was interested in fighting. If it was not for this, she would not have been itching to fight with Langjun just now.
She said that Mister Gongsun and Aunty Pei saw that she already had a child, while her Shijie, the couple's only precious daughter, Gongsun Lanzhi, was still living alone in her boudoir. The old couple were both envious and anxious, scolding her Shijie all day long. Her Shijie had no choice but to hold a 'martial arts competition to find a spouse' to retaliate against her parents.
Xiaoman wanted to laugh every time she talked about it, and she wanted to share this happiness with Langjun.
Of course, what she talked about the most was the child in her belly. Although the child had not been born yet and she did not know what the child looked like, nor had she heard the child call her mother, and the little fellow in her belly could not be too naughty, she was able to talk about many things about the child with great familiarity.
She said so much, but she did not mention her longing for Yang Fan.
When love is strong, it becomes thin.
When love is strong, it penetrates into every aspect of life. It is no longer the passion like a rose, but the light and pleasant like a wintersweet. It is no longer the vows of love under the moonlight, but the ordinary dribs and drabs. It is no longer vigorous, but it stays together forever. At this time, if you want to tell it in words, you will feel like you have forgotten what to say.
Yang Fan listened with a smile. He had never been so patient. When Xiao Man finished expressing all the joy in her heart and leaned into his arms, he whispered in her ear, "It's been hard on you. This time, I won't leave. I will stay here until you give birth to the child … "
Xiaoman had already heard about Yang Fan's plan before coming to Chang 'an. Although she was reluctant, she agreed. However, the closer it was to the birth of the child, the softer her heart became. She had already agreed to something, but now she was regretting it. She held a glimmer of hope and said eagerly, "Langjun, I … want to go back to Luoyang with you. When the child is born, I will not be afraid of the bumpy road … "
Yang Fan hugged her tighter and said softly, "You stay here. I can do whatever I want in Luoyang. This time, I am going to make things difficult for Young Master Jiang. If I don't drive him away, it will be like there is a sharp knife hanging over our heads. I will not allow my family to live in such a situation. I did not allow it in the past, and now that we are about to have our own child, I will not allow it. "
Yang Fan gently stroked her hair. It seemed like a promise and a vow. He said word by word, "I want you to be with me, happy and peaceful, and grow old together! I want our child to grow up happily, marry a wife, have children, and live a peaceful life! "
"Yes!"
Xiaoman bit her lip and answered in a low voice. She leaned against his chest, tears welling up in her eyes, but she did not say anything else. After a while, Xiaoman seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly broke into laughter, raised her head, sniffed, and said, "Marry a wife and have children? Langjun, you are so far-sighted. Are you so sure that I will give birth to a boy? "
"Yes, it could also be a girl. If it is a girl … "
Yang Fan suddenly frowned. Xiaoman immediately became nervous and said hesitantly, "Langjun … Langjun, you don't like girls?"
Yang Fan shook his head and said, "I like it! Of course I like it! It is my own flesh and blood. Why wouldn't I like it? "
"Then …"
Yang Fan said with a serious expression, "I suddenly thought of something. Xiaoman, if we give birth to a girl, you must remember not to teach her martial arts! "
Xiaoman asked curiously, "Why?"
Yang Fan said worriedly, "She's a girl, so she should act like a girl. Let her wield a spear and a stick. Once she becomes a girl like your Senior Sister, I won't be worried to death!"
Xiao Man couldn't help but burst out laughing. "That's not it. Although Senior Sister has a straightforward temperament, she's not usually so rash. This time it is because … Hey! She refused to say, and I am not very clear. I know something. It seems that she likes a man, but that man always avoids her, so she used this method to provoke that man to show up … "
Xiaoman said with a smile, "Ah Nu and I are both martial arts practitioners. Who is arrogant and domineering?"
Yang Fan smiled in relief and said, "That's true. I thought too much."
Yang Fan knew that Miss Gongsun had another purpose for this martial arts competition. Although he still did not have a good impression of her, he did not have his guard up. Otherwise, Yang Fan would have to consider taking Xiaoman away and settling her somewhere else just because she put her marriage through such a ridiculous method.
This Miss Gongsun was too unreliable. She was so irresponsible to herself. Yang Fan was worried that she would lead his obedient little Niuniu astray. When he thought of other arrangements, Yang Fan thought of his only acquaintance in Chang 'an. He couldn't help but ask, "Oh yes, after you arrived in Chang' an, did Shen Mu send anyone to see you?"
Xiaoman nodded and said, "Yes! He sent someone to see me, but seeing that I am safe here, he reduced the number of visits. But every once in a while, someone will come to visit. Oh, did you know that Shen Mu is not in Chang 'an now? "
Yang Fan said, "I just arrived today and came to see you immediately. I have not contacted him. Where did he go if he is not in Chang 'an? Did he go to the Western Region again? "
Xiaoman shook her head and said, "Not the Western Region. This time it is even further. He went to Xinluo."
Yang Fan was surprised and said, "What is he doing there?"
Xiaoman said, "The people he sent were also vague. They only explained it to me because Shen Mu didn't show up. It is probably because Shen Mu did something that was too big and alarmed the elders, so he was punished. He was ordered to do something in Xinluo as a punishment. "
Yang Fan made an 'oh' sound and thought to himself, This matter is probably referring to the fight between him and Young Master Jiang. During the battle in Chang 'an, the two of them manipulated the price of grain. Sometimes a bucket of rice in Guanzhong was worth a thousand coins, and sometimes it was as cheap as dirt. Even the imperial court was alarmed. Young Master Jiang lost the battle and gave up Chang 'an and left Luoyang in defeat. Although Shen Mu won a great victory, this matter was too big. It is impossible for those aristocratic families to be indifferent. "
Thinking of this, Yang Fan suddenly remembered that when he was in the Miao stockade village, Lin Zixiong, who came to meet him disguised as a traveling merchant, had said that if he went to Chang 'an, there might be some elders who wanted to see him. Yang Fan's heart suddenly moved and he thought to himself, "Could it be that the open and secret battle between the Obvious Sect and the Hidden Sect made those old fellows living in seclusion feel that the juniors are not reliable and can't control themselves from coming out?"
