The snow caught Yu city people off guard. There is one more thing equally as unexpected as the sudden snowfall that suprised people. That is a news of General Ji Feng Li about to marry General Hua Mu’s daughter from Pingxi.
From family point of view, this marriage is a perfect marriage, equal status and blessing from heaven. Nevertheless, in Yu people eyes, gap between the bride and the groom is a bit too wide. General Ji Feng Li is a legendary figure. He is hardly unknown. With his outstanding talents he made a name for himself at a young age. He was given a rank as General at nineteen by Emperor, making him the youngest General in South Kingdom. Despite having outstanding talents and status, he is a down to earth person, he is close to common folks.

In the palace, there is third princess, Huang Fu Yan, likes to play Qin, it is said her Qin skill is amazing. A daughter of a minister called An Rong, though not as beautiful as Wen Wan, her emboridery skill is well-known throughout Beijing.
People will be able to count few talented young ladies in Beijing to ten in one breath, but for General Hua Mu’s daughter, they do not even know her name, let alone count her in. Such unsightly, unvirtuous, and very mediocre lady, certainly is not fitted to be General Ji’s bride. Even God does not feel fair that suddenly it is snowing at this time.
Anyway, the snow was not be able to stop this marriage, first day of February, Hua young lady was carried to General Ji’s Residence.
Night, a bank of snow driven by wind started piling up.
