The Domineering General and His Post-it Lady

Wu Lianrong walked out of Fan's house and on the way back to the villa, he kept thinking about how to talk to Fan Ziren about remarrying. In two days, it would be the day he and Fan Ziren agreed to meet every month.

When he first started learning martial arts, he went to the villa every day to learn martial arts and swordsmanship from Wu Lianrong. After learning martial arts and swordsmanship, he followed General Fan to fight on the battlefield. Later, they agreed to meet at a fixed time every month.

Whenever they met, they usually talked about the moves used in the battlefield when fighting with the enemy, especially when facing the scenes of masters fighting, Fan Ziren would chat with Wu Lianrong in detail.

Wu Lianrong would analyze with him whether there were more appropriate moves to deal with it. Later, when General Fan was gone, he would talk to him about his daily life at home and in the barracks. Fortunately, there was a foreshadowing before, otherwise he would not know how to mention family matters such as marrying a new wife.

Two days later, Fan Ziren went to the villa to find Wu Lianrong according to the monthly agreed time.

Before arriving at the villa, Xiao Shenke found out that Wu Lianrong had been summoned into the mansion by the old lady two days ago, and then hurried back to the villa.

Fan Ziren asked curiously, "Master, I heard that my mother summoned you to the mansion a few days ago. What was it about? Master, why did you rush back to the villa?"

Wu Lianrong saw that the topic had come up and he had a chance to get into the subject, so he said, "Since you already know this, I'll get straight to the point. Your mother is also old, and for many years she has been hoping to have many grandchildren, so that the family would be lively and happy. But now she only has two grandchildren, so she has been worried that she won't have any more. After talking to your mother, I hurried back to the villa and found a few hermits. One of the hermits mentioned a secret book, and it just so happened that this secret book was in the villa."

Wu Lianrong paused and continued, "This secret book mentions the connection between having children and martial arts and swordsmanship. If you follow the instructions, you can take your martial arts and swordsmanship to a higher level!"

When Fan Ziren heard that there was a way to improve his martial arts and swordsmanship, he immediately asked, "Master, please teach me."

Wu Lianrong went on to say, "The sword kills all enemies in the world, although it is cold-blooded, but people are not swords, and there is hot blood flowing in their bodies. Once the hot blood and cold blood are integrated, the unity of man and sword is achieved, which promotes the boiling of hot blood in the human body and forms a strong aura. I checked that to form such a strong aura, it is necessary to activate the stress hormones in the body, and mainly to maintain a full emotion, which is the legendary sense of happiness. But these need to come from life and be generated in life. Now you are in the barracks and on the battlefield, facing violent and bloody scenes, which are not enough to keep the stress hormones in your body for a long time, nor will they produce any sense of happiness."

Fan Ziren asked: "What is the connection between having children and this promotion?"

Wu Lianrong picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and then continued, "This strong sense of happiness comes from life and is closely related to the people around us in life. You now have five wives. However, I have never heard you mention anything about them. It can be seen that your relationship with the five wives is also average, so you can't experience this feeling. Master suggests that you find such a person who can make you feel happy. Get married with him, and having children is just around the corner. Your martial arts and swordsmanship will be improved accordingly!"

Fan Ziren immediately asked, "Master, do you want me to marry another wife?"

"If possible, that would be great!" said Wu Lianrong.

Fan Ziren replied: "Okay, Master, I will go back and ask my mother to prepare it!"

Wu Lianrong was quite surprised when he heard this: Huh? How come this kid has no intention of resisting? Could it be that he has a crush on someone and just took this opportunity to marry again! No, no, no, that shouldn't be possible. This kid often stays in the barracks. Every day, only his left and right arms follow him. He can't even see a woman. Let alone a crush on someone. It should be that the method I said worked. This kid has made great efforts for martial arts and swordsmanship!

After Fan Ziren finished talking with Wu Lianrong, he walked out of the villa.

On the way back, Fan Ziren thought: Master is really good at making up stories. In addition to martial arts research, he also made up facts. Researching stress hormones and happiness, this lie is too outrageous. No matter who hears it, no one will believe it! Maybe only children on the street can be fooled by him.

It turned out that the reason why Fan Ziren agreed to Wu Lianrong's remarriage was not to improve his martial arts and swordsmanship as Wu Lianrong said. He knew deep in his heart that he had already learned martial arts and swordsmanship, and he only needed to practice diligently and apply them to the actual situation in order to bring out the effect of martial arts and swordsmanship.

The reason why he agreed to Wu Lianrong was actually because last night when he passed by the Fan Family Ancestral Hall, he saw Old Madam Fan kneeling inside and praying sincerely.

And I heard Madam Fan silently chanting: "My dear ancestors, please bless Ziren, so that he can win on the battlefield and live in harmony with his wives in the mansion. If the Fan mansion can have another wife, it will be even more perfect, so that she can be of the same mind with Ziren and his wife, and give birth to another grandson for the Fan family, so that the family can have many grandchildren!"

Fan Ziren knew that he was away from home all year round. For many years, the Fan Mansion was managed by Old Lady Fan herself. Therefore, he could rest assured to fight outside without worrying about the affairs of the mansion. Now, time flies, and Old Lady Fan is old and still has to work hard for the family. Thinking of this, he felt that he should try his best to meet Old Lady Fan's wishes.

At this time, he saw Old Lady Fan mumbling to the spirit tablets of his ancestors, wiping her tears with a silk scarf from time to time. He suddenly felt guilty. He was supposed to discuss this matter with his master today. But it happened that Xiao Shenke reported that Old Lady Fan summoned his master to the mansion two days ago, and the two should have discussed this matter. Maybe it was because he and Old Lady Fan had mentioned that he didn't want to marry again, so Old Lady Fan wanted his master to persuade him to marry again.

Although the master did not say it explicitly, Fan Ziren already knew what he meant, so he agreed without saying much.

Fan Ziren returned home and pretended to have been persuaded by his master, and asked Madam Fan to prepare to remarry.

When Mrs. Fan heard that Fan Ziren agreed to remarry, she was overjoyed and felt that Wu Lianrong had the solution and had chosen the right person. She would go to the villa to thank him in person one day.

So she asked her maid Xiaoyu to spread the news that General Fan Ziren had remarried. She also asked the nobles who were interested in marrying into the general's mansion to send their daughters' self-portraits to the general's mansion, and after being screened by Old Lady Fan, they could choose a date to marry Fan Ziren.

As soon as the news spread, almost all the noble families in the capital rushed to submit their daughters' self-portraits. The girls also became active and worked hard to practice music, chess, calligraphy and painting, hoping to stand out.

Only when the emperor was choosing a concubine would there be such a lively scene in the city. I didn’t expect that General Fan’s choice of a wife would also be so lively. Perhaps it was because General Fan’s status in the hearts of the common people in the city was second only to the emperor, and perhaps even higher than the emperor in the hearts of some common people. Therefore, becoming General Fan’s wife was the dream of many women in the city.

When the five ladies in Fan Ziren's mansion received the news and learned that Fan Ziren was going to remarry, they were like ants on a hot pan and were about to explode!
