The Domineering General and His Post-it Lady

After Fan Ziren finished dealing with military affairs in the barracks, he couldn't wait to go back to see Lou Yunsi. He kept missing her in his heart and wondered: Could it be that I have fallen in love with her?

At this time, Li Shenning saw that the general looked thoughtful and asked, "General, are you thinking about the Sixth Madam?"

Fan Ziren, whose thoughts were guessed, stammered, "No... no!"

Fan Ziren turned his head away shyly. Li Shenning took a look and realized that he was right. The general also had times when he felt embarrassed. It seemed that the Sixth Madam was really special to the general.

Xiao Shenke said: "General, should we go back immediately?"

This just expressed what Fan Ziren was thinking, and Fan Ziren said seriously: "Okay, we have finished our official business, let's go back to see my mother!"

Li Shen Ning came up and said, "Aren't you going to see the Sixth Madam?"

Fan Ziren said with a look of disdain: "Do you want to stay in the barracks to train new soldiers?"

Li Shen Ning quickly said: "General, I know I was wrong. Let's pack up and go back home." After Li Shen Ning finished speaking, he made a gesture to cover his mouth.

So Fan Ziren took Li Shenning and Xiao Shenke and rushed back to Fan Mansion as fast as he could.

Fan Ziren originally wanted to go back to the villa to change his clothes and visit the villa of Sixth Madam Lou Yunsi, but he didn't expect to meet Madam Fan's servants who were waiting at the gate of the villa.

In order to allow Fan Ziren and Hu Lijing to meet as soon as possible, Old Madam Fan sent a servant to guard the gate of Fan Ziren's villa. As soon as Fan Ziren came back, she invited him to Old Madam Fan's villa to arrange a meeting between Fan Ziren and Hu Lijing.

When the servant saw Fan Ziren coming back, he immediately came forward and said that it was Old Madam Fan who wanted to talk to him about something. Fan Ziren had no choice but to go to Old Madam Fan's villa first and then go to find Sixth Madam Lou Yunsi.

At the same time, the servant sent someone to inform Hu Lijing that the general had returned, and asked her to dress up and come to Madam Fan's villa to meet the general.

When Hu Lijing heard that Fan Ziren was coming back, she wanted to dress herself up as a magpie and fly to Fan Ziren. She immediately asked her maid Xiaoya to help her choose nice clothes, take out expensive jewelry, put on makeup, and asked Xiaoya if she looked good. Xiaoya praised her to the sky, and Hu Lijing was ready to go out to Old Lady Fan's villa.

Fan Ziren came to Old Madam Fan's courtyard and greeted her first: "Mother, I'm back. You sent someone to wait for me at the gate of my courtyard and asked me to come over. Is there anything important?"

Mrs. Fan smiled and said, "I don't have anything to do, can't I ask you to come over and chat with me?"

Fan Ziren nodded and said, "Sure, if you want to chat, you can find some ladies. They will be able to coax you."

Old Madam Fan said unhappily: "No matter how much they coax me, it would be better if they gave me another grandson. I would be happier that way!"

Old Madam Fan brought up the topic of having children again. Every time Fan Ziren heard about this topic, he wanted to avoid it and comforted Old Madam Fan, saying, "Mother, for things like this, just let nature take its course. Don't rush it!"

Old Madam Fan said excitedly: "If you don't hurry up, I will go to see your father. When I go down and see your father, your father and the ancestors will blame me. What should I do?"

Fan Ziren frowned and said, "Mom, stop talking nonsense. Don't you have two grandchildren now? They make you happy. Just relax."

Mrs. Fan thought that if she continued talking, Fan Ziren might leave, so she changed the subject and said, "Son, do you remember that when you were a child, you once lived with an uncle named Hu? He was our relative, and you had a lot of fun playing with his daughter Hu Lijing."

Fan Ziren thought for a moment and said, "I think I have some impression of it."

Madam Fan continued, "You said at the time that you wanted to marry her back home."

Fan Ziren thought: I don't remember saying such a thing at all, and my impression of this person is rather vague. Why did my mother suddenly mention this person? Could it be that she was thinking...

Just as Fan Ziren was thinking, a voice suddenly came: "Brother Ziren, you are back!"

A woman came in, held Fan Ziren's hand and said, "Brother Ziren, I've been waiting for you for several days!"

Hu Lijing and Fan Ziren had not seen each other for many years. When Hu Lijing saw Fan Ziren, she was still as handsome as ever, and even more majestic. She was moved and knew that he was the ideal man she wanted to marry. She couldn't wait to go forward and hold his hand, reminding him of the happy times they had back then.

Fan Ziren gently released Hu Lijing's hand and asked, "Who are you?"

Old Madam Fan smiled and said, "Ziren, this is the girl you said you would marry back then—Hu Lijing! Your sister Jing'er!"

Hu Lijing said shyly: "Old lady, please don't laugh at us. Maybe Brother Ziren has forgotten it."

Fan Ziren was too embarrassed to say that he had forgotten, so he stepped forward and said, "Oh, it's Miss Hu."

Hu Lijing thought: Why does Ziren call me brother so strangely? Has he forgotten what happened in the past? So many years have passed, and we haven't seen each other for a long time. It's normal for him to be a little strange.

Hu Lijing wanted to say more, to bring back the memories of Fan Ziren and her: "Brother Ziren, do you still remember? You called me Sister Jing'er back then, and we loved catching crickets together. You always caught them first and gave them to me, saying that you couldn't dirty my clothes."

Madam Fan looked at Fan Ziren and said, "Oh, you two were childhood sweethearts, so enviable! In the blink of an eye, you have grown up and Ziren has married six wives. Unfortunately, none of them shares the same interests with him. Jing'er, you understand Ziren the best."

Fan Ziren thought to himself: What is mother saying? When she said it was a pity that there was no lady who shared the same interests as me, I was actually thinking of Lou Yunsi.

Seeing that Fan Ziren didn't respond, Madam Fan reminded him, "Ziren, are you thinking about your childhood with Jing'er?"

Fan Ziren said directly: "No!" As soon as he said it, Mrs. Fan and Hu Lijing looked at him in surprise.

Fan Ziren added: "When I was in Miss Hu's house, I was very grateful to everyone in the house for taking care of me."

Hu Lijing said: "Now Brother Ziren has become a great general respected by the people, and is no longer the little boy who played with Jing'er."

Madam Fan said: "Jing'er has become a great beauty now. The general and the beauty are a perfect match!"

After saying this, Mrs. Fan burst into laughter.

Hu Lijing said shyly, "Oh, old lady, what are you talking about? You will scare Brother Ziren away if you say that. Brother Ziren, don't listen to what the old lady says. Brother Ziren is now a general. Jing'er doesn't dare to marry him."

Madam Fan waved her hand and said, "No, as long as two people are in love, nothing else matters!"

Fan Ziren looked at Old Madam Fan and Hu Lijing speaking in unison and guessed what was on Old Madam Fan's mind. However, he just wanted to go back to the villa quickly to change into casual clothes and go see Lou Yunsi. He had no intention of chatting with them here.

So, Fan Ziren suddenly said, "Mom, Miss Hu, I suddenly remembered that I have some things to do. You two continue chatting, I will leave first!"

Madam Fan said quickly, "You just came back and you still have things to do. Jing'er rarely comes, so you should spend more time with her."

Hu Lijing went up to Old Madam Fan and said, "Old Madam, just let Brother Ziren do his work. I'm staying in the mansion anyway. When Brother Ziren is done with his work, we can still meet."

Hu Lijing turned around and said to Fan Ziren, "Isn't that right, Brother Ziren?"

Fan Ziren nodded and said, "Yes!"

After Fan Ziren finished speaking, he walked out of the front hall and left Mrs. Fan's villa with Li Shenning and Xiao Shenke.

Madam Fan looked at Hu Lijing and said, "Jing'er, you are very sensible. Don't worry about it. Ziren has been fighting outside for many years and is not used to communicating with girls. You should be more tolerant. You will see each other often in the days when he is in the mansion."

Hu Lijing said: "Madam, Jing'er knows."

Hu Lijing thought to herself: There is still a lot of time to go, and with my beauty, I will definitely be able to charm Brother Ziren!
