"Mom, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Not only the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also the General's Mansion of Laifeng Kingdom was in a commotion over the news that Hua Qingcheng and her group were about to arrive in the capital.
On the morning of August 21st, General Feng Cailan, returning from court at the imperial palace, also received a letter from Fengcheng Post Station. Seeing that it was from Si Chengfeng, Feng Cailan immediately opened it and read it.
Although his father had informed Chengfeng in advance after his return that he already had a crush on a woman in Fufeng County and would soon be leaving for Beijing to visit the General's Mansion, the old man did not specify who the woman was or what she did, and simply asked everyone in the mansion to wait patiently.
During this period, everyone in the mansion, from the old general Feng Jingyun to the maids and servants, were extremely curious about the woman that Si Chengfeng liked.
It just so happened that this time, Si Chengfeng wrote a thick stack of letters, which explained everything about how he and Hua Qingcheng met, fell in love, and fell in love.
At the beginning, Feng Cailan was quite satisfied with Hua Qingcheng. After all, the fact that he could save people from a wolf pack showed that this person was quite powerful. If he was cultivated well, he might be able to make great achievements on the battlefield in the future.
Because of the good first impression, when Feng Cailan continued to read the book, even though she knew that the other party was just a common peasant girl, she did not feel disgusted with her because of her family background.
Are kings, princes, generals and ministers of different races?
For a capable person, background is only an advantage in pursuing a future, not a decisive factor.
However, when she saw in the letter that the other party already had a husband and even had three concubines, Feng Cailan's heroic face froze, and the relieved smile on it cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like the look on Feng Qiyan's face when she went to Huaqiao Village and saw the dilapidated old house of the Hua family.
Not to mention that the Si family was one of the four great families of Laifeng State, Si Lingfeng, as the eldest son of the Si family, was undoubtedly the most distinguished of the noble young men in the capital. The so-called "Four Young Masters of the Capital" would be left far behind in front of Si Lingfeng.
Putting aside his background, even if he is now named Chengfeng, he is still the adopted son of their General's Mansion, and he is only an adopted son in name. In fact, Si Chengfeng's status in the General's Mansion is no different from that of a legitimate son.
Moreover, Si Chengfeng's father was one of the "Laifeng Shuangjue", the brilliant and talented Meng Lishi, who was both civil and military. As his legitimate son, Si Chengfeng was also handsome and talented.
Furthermore, Si Chengfeng possessed a remarkable talent for business. Starting at the age of twelve, within just five years, he had already expanded his business empire across the entire Laifeng Kingdom. At only seventeen years old, Si Chengfeng already possessed more wealth than he could spend in several lifetimes.
However, Feng Cailan was now told that such an outstanding man like Si Chengfeng actually fell in love with a peasant woman who already had four husbands. Feng Cailan still found it hard to accept it.
As she thought about it, Feng Cailan couldn't help but imagine Si Chengfeng taking off his splendid clothes and wearing rags in a dilapidated farmyard, carrying a sleeping, drooling child on his back, holding a crying baby in his arms, and holding a disheveled, dirty child by the hand...
Feng Cailan shook off the goose bumps all over her body, trying to drive away all the terrible images in her mind.
The previous horrific scene disappeared, but Feng Cailan's mind reappeared with a burly, strong woman with a mouth full of yellow teeth. She bent one leg, stroked her knee with her hand, and lay sideways on the recliner. She was picking her rotten teeth and directing the driver and passenger to do housework with saliva spitting.
Moreover, behind the woman there was a man with pockmarks on his face massaging her shoulders, and on both sides there was a man with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes massaging her arms, and in front of her was a man kneeling who spoke with a stutter and was so bald that only a few hairs remained on his head, massaging her legs.
The abominable thing was that while these men were serving the woman, they were actually cursing Si Chengfeng and telling him to work faster...
So scary!
Feng Cailan was so frightened that her whole body shuddered.
If Si Chengfeng's father knew that his son was going to be a concubine to a peasant girl, I wonder if his father's coffin would still be able to hold his head...
Although his heart was in turmoil, General Feng Cailan managed to calm himself and continued to read the letter.
Although the old man has been back for some time, he is too tight-lipped. Feng Cailan only found out after seeing Si Chengfeng's letter that the person who took her father in in Huaqiao Village was Hua Qingcheng, whom Chengfeng liked.
Chengfeng had mentioned Huaqiao Village in the express letter he sent to the General's Mansion to report his safety. No wonder Qi Yan almost let it slip when she heard these three words. It turned out that her daughter had known about the emotional entanglement between Chengfeng and Hua Qingcheng for a long time.
hehe……
Feng Cailan's mouth twitched slightly.
These two little wolf cubs!
It was really hard to keep it a secret from her.
Si Chengfeng also mentioned his cold problem in the letter. Hua Qingcheng's third husband is the young master of Xuanyi Valley. Since he treated his cold, his health has improved a lot.
Furthermore, according to him, Hua Qingcheng possessed a yang-dominant constitution rarely seen in a thousand years, and combining with her would balance out the coldness in his body. With acupuncture and medication, he would be able to return to normal in about six months, or no more than a year.
Seeing this, Feng Cailan sighed softly. It was fate. It was God's will. Perhaps Hua Qingcheng was the perfect match for Si Chengfeng! A fifth-born man was a fifth-born man. Marrying Hua Qingcheng would at least save Chengfeng's life...
