Major General, please be gentle
1. Major General’s wedding
In 1908, Leng Feng, the only son of the Leng family, a family of warlords in Songxi City, married Qiao Han, the daughter of the rich silk family.
Leng Feng had already made great military achievements at a young age, and he took the position of a Major General after a few years in the army.
With a smart mind, a tall and straight posture, and an extraordinary handsome appearance, the twenty-four-year-old Leng Feng was the dream future husband and son-in-law of almost all the young ladies and women in Songxi city.
The masters of many large families and Leng Feng’s father, General Leng Shan, had secretly arranged their daughters and Leng Feng’s marriage, but all of them always ended up in failure.
There was only one reason – Leng Feng didn’t want to marry.
Until two years ago, General Leng Shan died in battle and Leng Feng kept his filial piety for two years.
As soon as the period of filial piety was over, Leng Feng’s mother, Lin Manqiu, worked hard to settle marriage for her son, saying that Leng Shan’s greatest wish before his death, was to see his son get married and start a family.
In fact, during the two years of filial piety, Lin Manqiu already wanted his son to start a family and no longer observe filial piety because she knew the thoughts of her old man well. The deceased has passed away, and those who are still alive should not stick to these forms any more. The spirit of her old man in heaven would certainly not want to see his son delay his marriage for another two years.
(T/N: Here the male lead’s mother use ‘old man’ as an intimate form of address for her husband)
Although Leng Feng promised to get married and start a family, he refused to end the period of filial piety early. Lin Manqiu had no choice but to let him drag on for another two years.
But in the past two years, Lin Manqiu has not been idle. She has learned about all the educated and well-known daughters in Songxi City, selected the most suitable ones, and showed their photos to Leng Feng.
After Leng Feng finished looking through all of it, he picked out the photo of Qiao Han, the daughter of the rich Qiao family who did silk business.
Lin Manqiu was overjoyed, because she and Mrs. Qiao have known each other for many years, and the silk and satin that she wore on weekdays were all from the Qiao family. She liked Qiao Han who looked sweet and has a good personality. She had also planned to try persuading her son to choose Qiao Han if he had been careless when he was choosing.
Soon, the parents of the two families took their children at the Chamber of Commerce of Songxi City for a dinner. Leng Feng invited Qiao Han to dance a few times. The two talented and beautiful people swayed on the dance floor. The picture of the two dancing together looked like from an exquisite oil painting.
Back at the Leng Mansion, Lin Manqiu asked his son how he felt about Qiao Han with great anticipation, and Leng Feng said lightly, “It’s her.”
This Qiao Han was faultless in all aspects, her appearance was also appealing to him, and she seemed to be quiet and well-behaved and won’t always bother him noisily.
Although, the days ahead may be a little dull and boring.
But, it was her.
Later, the two met several times by chance on different occasions, and it didn’t take long for Leng Feng to personally lead his subordinates and present a huge amount of betrothal gifts to the Qiao family.
In this war-torn era, the only worry of the Qiao family’s master and his wife about Leng Feng was that he would follow the former general’s footsteps and make Qiao Han a widow at a young age.
Leng Feng listened and told Master Qiao and his wife, neither humbly nor arrogantly, that he had never thought of marriage. And that he got married and started a family because he was not sure when the things that the two old Qiao’s husband and wife were worried about would happen. He had always been devoted to the war, and did not consider getting married. Now that he has decided to start a family, he was sure to shoulder this responsibility, and would not easily let the enemy harm his life in future wars.
Master Qiao and his wife were very satisfied with the answer, and their daughter’s impression of Leng Feng was also good, so they agreed to the marriage.
It only took two months from the talking, the engagement banquet to the marriage.
The happy news of the wedding between the son of the Leng family and the daughter of the Qiao family spread all over Songxi City. All the young ladies of Songxi City who had dreamed of Leng Feng as their future husband sighed, and their hearts shattered overnight.
