Niu San led Yang Zhen into the tent. When he lifted the curtain, Yang Zhen saw a man standing in the tent. The man kept pacing, looking very anxious. When the man saw Niu Sanhe and his group enter the tent, he fixed his eyes on Guan Feng, who was following closely behind Yang Zhen. He immediately said,"Miss! Master sent me to find you and ask you to return to the residence as soon as possible.”
The man's words shocked He Ping and Niu San. They didn't expect Guan Feng to be a woman dressed as a man. They couldn't help but look at her. Guan Feng recognized this person. He was the housekeeper of his family. After he finished speaking, she said,"Old Guo, go back and tell my brother that I want to stay here for a few more days. When I'm done, I'll go back.”
The butler, Old Guo, immediately knelt on the ground and shouted,"Miss, if you don't go back now, I'm afraid that the old madam..."
Before Old Guo could finish, Guan Feng interrupted,"What happened to my mother? Tell me quickly!"
"I don't know what happened to Old Madam, but she suddenly fell ill. She's very sick, and even the imperial physicians are helpless." Old Furen kept talking about your name. Master guessed that you must have come here, so he asked me to look for you and ask Miss to go back quickly.”
Guan Feng was very nervous when she heard this. She quickly said to Yang Zhen,"Zi Yuan, my mother is seriously ill and I have no choice but to return.”As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left. He called Old Guo and asked the staff at the back of the stable for a horse. Then, he hurriedly ran out of the military camp and headed for the capital.
Yang Zhen didn't have the time to say goodbye to Guan Feng."Feng 'er, I hope your mother's condition will improve. Take care of yourself on the way.”
"General. So he's a woman?" He Ping asked.
Yang Zhen nodded and said to Niu San,""Brother Bull, let's rest for a day.”As soon as he finished speaking, he made a gesture to let He Ping and Niu San out of the tent and bandaged his wound.
Guan Feng returned to the residence. Before she entered the door, she shouted,"Mother! Mother! Feng 'er is back." When she stepped into the hall, she saw her brother Guan Xing and her mother sitting there. Her mother's face was rosy and she did not look sick at all. When Guan Feng turned around to look at the housekeeper, Old Guo, he was already gone, but her mother's words rang in her ears. "Feng 'er, come here."
Although Madam Guan was already old, she was still full of energy. When she saw Guan Feng walking over, she said,"Feng 'er, don't blame your brother. It was all Mother's idea to let Old Guo do this.”
Guan Feng didn't quite understand, so she asked,""Mother, why did you do this?”
"Silly girl, if Mother didn't do this, with your temper, how could you come back?"”
Guan Feng said," Mother, I haven't seen Yang Zhen for more than a year. I've only been gone for a while, and you've already coaxed me back. What's the reason?"”
Madam Guan hugged Guan Feng and stroked her back a few times. She said to Guan Feng,"Feng 'er, your brother has told me everything about you. Mother also sent people to investigate Yang Zhen's situation. Yang Zhen's background is low, and his official position is also very low. You must not like him anymore.”
Guan Feng pushed Madam Guan away and ran far away. She looked at Madam Guan and asked,"Mother, I like Yang Zhen. I don't care what his background is or what position he holds. I want to be with him.”
Guan Xing, who was standing at the side, took a step forward and said sternly,"Feng 'er! How can you speak to Mother like that?"
"Second brother, sister-in-law's background is also very low. She's our family's maid, but you didn't mind at all and married her." I think I like Yang Zhen the same way you like sister-in-law. Mother, you also agreed to Second Brother's marriage back then. Why can't you agree to me now?”
Madam Guan said," Feng 'er, you're different from Xing' er. Your second brother is a man. It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Although your sister-in-law comes from a humble background, she won't affect Xing 'er much." You are different. You are a girl. If you want to get married, you must find a family with a similar social status and marry officially. This way, you won't lose the face of our Guan family. Yang Zhen, that kid, has neither wealth nor power. If you marry him, you won't be happy.”
Guan Feng walked to a table, picked up a tea set, and threw it on the ground. The tea set was smashed into pieces. The ear-piercing sound made Guan Xing unable to hold it in any longer. He walked to Guan Feng's side and reached out to slap her. Guan Feng glared at Guan Xing, not showing any signs of fear. She said sternly,""Second brother, are you going to hit me? You've always doted on me the most since I was young, and now you want to hit me? Come on, hit me!"
When Guan Xing heard this, he thought of Guan Feng's adorable appearance when she was young. He raised his hand high, but he couldn't bear to slap her. He let out a long sigh. Guan Xing put down his palm and said to Guan Feng,"Feng 'er, mother and I are doing this for your own good.”
"Second Brother, Mother," Guan Feng said. If you really want the best for me, don't object to me dating Yang Zhen, okay? Second Brother, you've seen Yang Zhen before. He's a rare talent. I think you know better than I do what he's like. Once Yang Zhen becomes a general, he will definitely be a loyal and patriotic general. At that time, will you still oppose me?”
Guan Xing fell silent. The first time he met Yang Zhen was on the battlefield. He was completely surrounded by the Wu army, but he was not afraid at all. Moreover, he almost defeated General Xu Sheng. Such a talent was really rare. However, Guan Xing also understood that Yang Zhen was a native of Bashu. In the current imperial court, the Yizhou faction had lost its power. Although he was a rare general talent, would Prime Minister Zhuge sit by and watch the Yizhou faction grow? Guan Xing felt conflicted and didn't speak for a long time.
Madam Guan stood up and walked to Guan Feng's side. She held Guan Feng's hands and said slowly,"Feng 'er, although Yang Zhen is a talented general, his future is very bleak. You have to think carefully. Mother hopes that the person you marry is a general who can lead thousands of troops, not a commandant who has been farming in Dujiangyan. What do you think of Zhang Bao?"
When Guan Feng heard Zhang Bao's name, she immediately shook off Madam Guan's hand and said loudly,"Mother! Don't mention him!"
Lady Guan smiled." Feng 'er, it's been so long since we were kids. Why do you still remember it so clearly?" At that time, he was young and ignorant. It was very different from now. Zhang Bao was not only a general leading the army, but also the uncle of the current dynasty. Moreover, your father and his father are sworn brothers. If your father was still alive, I think he would definitely agree.”
"Mother, did Zhang Bao come to propose marriage again today?" Guan Feng asked.”
Madam Guan nodded. Guan Feng said,"I knew it. Ever since he killed my Little Black when I was young, I didn't have a good impression of him. So what if he's the country's uncle? So what if he's a general? In my opinion, he's not even one-tenth of Yang Zhen.”
"Feng 'er, you can't be so rude to Zhang Bao." If word of this gets out, it would be strange if they didn't pursue you for defamation!”
"What are you afraid of?" Guan Feng asked. What I said was the truth. If you want to marry me, then marry me. Anyway, I'm not marrying you!”
Madam Guan was furious when she heard that. She immediately slapped Guan Feng's face and scolded angrily,"It's all your father's fault for spoiling you. You actually speak without restraint. Today, I have already agreed to Zhang Bao's marriage proposal. You have to agree or not. It's not up to you.”
Guan Feng was beaten up and when she heard her mother's words, tears suddenly flowed down her face. "Since you don't love me and don't think about our daughter, I won't come back anymore.”Guan Feng said fiercely and turned to leave.
Seeing that her daughter was about to leave, Madam Guan hurriedly said,"Xing 'er, quickly catch her!"
Guan Xing heard his mother's voice and responded, but his body didn't move at all. "Xing 'er, what are you doing?" Madam Guan asked. Quickly catch Feng 'er!" Guan Xing replied,"Mother, Feng 'er has a strong personality. Even if we capture him, it's useless. It's better to let her go."”Lady Guan sighed as she watched Guan Feng leave the Guan Residence. She turned around and left the hall. Lady Guan returned to her room and looked at her husband Guan Yu's memorial tablet. She said carefully,""Husband, I just want Feng 'er to have a good home and marry into a good family, but Feng' er just can't understand. Husband, am I wrong or is Feng 'er wrong?”
Guan Feng left the Guan Residence and rode a fast horse straight out of the capital. She felt terrible. Ever since she was young, her mother and brother had never beaten or scolded her. But today, why were they acting so strangely? Was it wrong for her to like someone she liked? She stopped thinking about these things and wandered aimlessly outside the city. Her heart was in a mess. It was the first time she was angry with her family and the first time she ran away from home. She felt a little at a loss.
Night fell.
Guan Feng felt tired, so she stopped and jumped off the horse. The early autumn night was a little chilly, making Guan Feng, who was wearing thin clothes, feel a little cold. She made a bonfire and sat by the fire to warm herself. Guan Feng stared blankly at the light of the bonfire. She seemed to see Yang Zhen's face in the light and smiled happily. She looked up and saw the stars in the sky. Guan Feng saw a shooting star gliding past, leaving a long tail on the horizon. She quickly closed her eyes and clasped her hands together, silently making a wish in her heart.
With a happy mood, Guan Feng went to sleep beside the bonfire. Although the place she slept in was simple, she felt very happy because for the first time in her life, she made a wish to a shooting star. That night, she had a dream. The dream was so beautiful and sweet. In the dream, she and Yang Zhen held hands and traveled through the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland. In her dream, Yang Zhen wanted to kiss her. She raised her head, closed her eyes, and curled her lips slightly, waiting for Yang Zhen's kiss.
However, she could not feel Yang Zhen's lips no matter how much she waited. She opened her eyes impatiently. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Yang Zhen sticking out a big and long tongue and licking her face. Guan Feng was startled and screamed, suddenly waking up from her dream.
When she woke up, Guan Feng saw herself lying under a tree. Her horse was tied to the tree, and beside her was a bonfire. She rubbed her eyes and muttered to herself,""Sigh! So it was just a dream! You almost scared me to death." After saying that, she secretly laughed a few times.
