The Domineering General and His Post-it Lady

After Fan Ziren found the emperor and sent him back to the palace, he returned to the general's mansion. The general's old lady and his five wives came out to greet him happily.

Fan Ziren had five wives. The first wife Zhao Chunlei, the third wife Wu Qiuye, the fourth wife Chen Dongmei and the fifth wife Liu Xingyu were all selected for him by the old lady. They were all daughters of powerful aristocrats in Beijing.

The only exception was the second wife, Ma Xiahe, whose marriage was arranged by the emperor. The second wife was the niece of the empress dowager. She had heard of Fan Ziren's heroic deeds and had admired him for a long time. However, she heard that Fan Ziren's marriage was decided by the old lady in the mansion. With her father who did nothing, the old lady Fan might not look down on her.

The only option is to have the Emperor grant her a marriage, but she doesn't have much interaction with the Emperor, and if she asks for permission rashly, the Emperor will not agree. After all, she is a great general of our dynasty, and to get the Emperor's grant of marriage she can only rely on the help of the Empress Dowager.

So Ma Xia Hehua tried her best to please the Queen Mother, preparing healthy food for her, adding clothes for her, and patiently serving her! Finally, she moved the Queen Mother and asked her to lobby the Emperor to grant her marriage. She finally married into General Fan's mansion legitimately! Because it was the Emperor's marriage, after marrying into the General's mansion, no one dared to look down on her. They were all respectful to her, and Old Lady Fan was also humble to her!

Facing the five ladies in the mansion, outsiders think that General Fan Ziren is very lucky, but Fan Ziren does not have too many thoughts on love. He only thinks about how to resist foreign enemies, fight every battle, protect the people, and ensure the safety of the people, just like his father did in the past. He is devoted to the military camp. He is not interested in love.

He only thinks about important military affairs. He has been independent since he was young and has his own ideas about what needs to be done and how to do it. In the mansion, everyone revolves around him and listens to him. No one dares to disobey him as long as it is arranged by him. He is so domineering!

All other housekeeping matters in the mansion were arranged by Old Lady Fan. Old Lady Fan was only concerned about the offspring of the Fan family and the continuation of the family line. However, her son did not care about these matters, so Old Lady Fan had to worry more about him.

Since Fan Ziren had focused on martial arts and served in the army with General Fan since he was a child, he succeeded General Fan's seal of command at a young age. The army followed his lead, and his family also revolved around him and obeyed his arrangements.

But he seldom asked about family affairs. In order to complete the important task of carrying on the family line as soon as possible, Old Lady Fan selected several wives for him. Strangely enough, only the first wife Zhao Chunlei and the second wife Ma Xiahe had given birth to a child each.

The first wife, Zhao Chunlei, gave birth to a daughter. Although Mrs. Fan was happy, she still preferred a grandson.

Ma Xiahe, the second wife, gave birth to a son, who became the only grandson in the family. Therefore, Ma Xiahe, the second wife, was the most favored by Madam Fan. However, in Madam Fan's heart, she hoped that every wife would have a child, but she did not get what she wanted. On this day, Madam Fan prayed to the gods and Buddhas, praying that God would bless us and give us more descendants.

According to Madam Fan's maid Xiaoyu, the general hasn't been to the ladies' villas for a long time, which makes Madam Fan even more anxious. The maid Xiaoyu stepped forward and offered a suggestion: "Madam, why don't you marry the general another wife? As the saying goes, people love the new and hate the old. Maybe the general has been with the ladies for a long time and is a little tired!"

When Madam Fan heard this, she immediately said, "How can this be possible? I want to have more children, not to find someone to compete for my favor. How will the new wives feel about this? Wouldn't it cause chaos?"

The maid Xiaoyu explained quickly: "Madam, marrying the general a new wife can first win back the general's heart and give him a new place to rely on at home. With a new wife accompanying him all the time, he will naturally have children. Then, marrying a new wife can also alert the other wives and make them aware of the crisis. They need to spend more time on the general. Who knows, one of the wives' thoughts will move the general, and then he will flourish and have many children and grandchildren. It's a two-birds-with-one-stone move!"

The maid Xiaoyu's words awakened the dreamer! Old Madam Fan was so happy that she smiled and decided to find a new wife for the general. However, he had already married five wives. The general had clearly told the old lady that he did not want to marry again. The old lady did not dare to go against his wishes. How could she get the general to agree?

At this time, the old lady thought of the general's master, Wu Lianrong. In the whole world, only the general's master Wu Lianrong could convince the general.

So he sent someone to deliver a letter to Wu Lianrong, inviting him to his house for a gathering.

After receiving the letter, Wu Lianrong saw that there was an important matter to discuss, so he hurried to Fan's house.

Wu Lianrong saw Madam Fan and asked, "Madam, what is so important that you need me to discuss it with you?"

Madam Fan asked Wu Lianrong to sit down, and asked the maid to bring snacks and hot tea. Then she began to say, "Mr. Wu, as Ziren's master, you are one of the people he respects the most! When he is in trouble and needs your help, are you willing to lend a hand and help him solve the problem?"

When Wu Lianrong heard that his beloved disciple was in trouble, he immediately became nervous and asked Madam Fan hurriedly: "Madam, what difficulties did Ziren encounter? Why didn't he receive any news?"

Seeing Wu Lianrong's nervous look, Old Lady Fan said quickly, "It's about the continuation of the Fan family. We only have two grandchildren, while other families have many children and grandchildren. Do you think it's difficult?"

After hearing this, Wu Lianrong breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought something had happened in Ziren. Shouldn't we discuss the issue of continuing the family line with him and his wife? Why are you looking for me? Old Madam, are you interested in me and want to..."

After saying that, Wu Lianrong quickly wrapped himself up tightly, with a look of panic in his eyes.

After hearing this, Old Madam Fan said immediately, "Pooh, pooh, pooh! Are you practicing martial arts and going astray? That's not what I meant. I'm going to arrange another marriage for Ziren. This will not only give Ziren a sense of freshness, but also make Ziren's other wives feel a sense of crisis and be more proactive in trying to please Ziren. This way, we can expect a house full of grandchildren in no time!"

Wu Lianrong immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I misunderstood. If you want to discuss another marriage, then you can ask him about it!"

Old Madam Fan said: "When Ziren married his fifth wife, he said he didn't want to marry again. He is the only son in the family. After I married into the Fan Mansion, the old general was away fighting all year round and had no time to stay in the mansion. Until the old general was gone, I only gave birth to a son for him. He took on the burden of defending the country. I was worried that he would end up like the old general, so I kept choosing new wives for him. Now he has five wives, but only two grandchildren!"

After saying this, Mrs. Fan couldn't help but sigh!

Wu Lianrong said, "Although it is important to continue the family line, we all know Ziren. Apart from the emperor, it would be very difficult for others to dissuade him from what he said!"

Madam Fan sighed and said, "That's why I invited you here. Ziren has been learning martial arts from you since he was a child, and he respects you like an old general. You must be able to convince him. Just think of it as helping an old woman like me!"

After saying that, he picked up a handkerchief and wiped his eyes. Seeing this, Wu Lianrong had to agree: "Madam Fan, I will try my best! If Ziren still doesn't want to, then I can't do anything!" So he said goodbye to Madam Fan and retreated!

The maid Xiaoyu came forward and praised Madam Fan: "Madam, you always succeed when you use this trick, it's amazing!"

Old Madam Fan said: "That's right. That's how I conquered the old general back then! Oh no! It was me who impressed him!" At this time, Old Madam Fan was already smiling happily!

Now that Wu Lianrong has agreed to what Mrs. Fan wants, how can he convince Fan Ziren?
