Rongrong

A few days passed like this, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived, and the academy was closed for holiday.

Ma Wencai took Chen Rong down the mountain to enjoy the scenery, taste delicious food, and took Chen Rong home in the evening.

Chen Rong and Ma Wencai rode a horse together to the prefectural government residence. Ma Wencai dismounted and carried Chen Rong down.

The servants hurried out to greet them, and Ma Wencai took Chen Rong directly to the hall of the prefect's mansion.

Ma Wencai: "My father is quite serious and rigid. He handles some things in an inappropriate way. If you feel unhappy, just tell me and ignore him."

Chen Rong: "You and your father don't have a good relationship?"

Ma Wencai: "A little bit, but don't worry, he will be fine."

When I arrived in the hall, I saw Governor Ma sitting on a chair sipping tea. He glanced at the visitor.

Ma Wencai pulled Chen Rong forward and said.

Ma Wencai: "Dad, this is my classmate and friend, and your future daughter-in-law, Chen Rong. The academy is on holiday for the Dragon Boat Festival, so I brought her to meet you."

Chen Rong: "Junior Chen Rong, I am honored to meet the governor. I pay my respects to the governor."

Governor Ma: "No need to be polite, Chen Rong, where are you from?"

Chen Rong: "I am from the Chen family of Hangzhou, and my father is Chen Hao."

Governor Ma: "Chen Hao, I have heard a little bit about it."

Ma Wencai: "Dad, when are you free, go to Chen's house and settle our marriage."

Governor Ma: "I know, I know. I'll go when I have time. Let the servants prepare things first."

Ma Wencai: "Thank you, Dad, for your help."

Governor Ma: "Okay, take her to have some rest."

Ma Wencai took Chen Rong and walked into his room, pushed her onto the bed and kissed her, sniffing her fragrance.

Ma Wencai: "Rongrong, you smell so good! I want to eat it."

Chen Rong: "I can't eat it. I'm fine."

Ma Wencai: "Okay, okay, I'll give you food later. Let's go to bed early. I'll take you to meet my mother tomorrow."

Chen Rong: "Then you coax me to sleep, I can't sleep."

Ma Wencai: "Okay, okay, I'll coax you to sleep." After saying that, he patted Chen Rong gently.

The next day, Ma Wencai and Chen Rong woke up and washed up. Ma Wencai took Chen Rong to the front hall to eat.

After finishing their meal, Ma Wencai and Chen Rong walked into the ancestral hall hand in hand, and Ma Wencai knelt down in front of one of the tablets.

Ma Wencai: "Mom, I met someone I like, and she likes me too, so I brought her here for you to meet her."

Chen Rong also knelt down and said, "Hello, Auntie. I am Chen Rong, the younger generation, and I am pleased with Brother Wencai. Brother Wencai is now a man of great talent in both literature and martial arts, and he excels in everything."

Chen Rong: "Don't worry, Brother Wencai is a very good person and treats me very well. I am especially grateful to you for giving birth to him and allowing me to meet him."

After paying homage to Ma Wencai's mother, Ma Wencai took Chen Rong to travel around and taste delicious food.

After the holiday, Ma Wencai took Chen Rong back to Nishan Academy.

That day, the ranking of character was announced and everyone gathered in the front row to watch, with Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai standing side by side at the top.

Ma Wencai said to them with a fake smile on his face: "Congratulations." Then he took Chen Rong away.

Ma Wencai: "Liang Shanbo, why, why can his name be put on it? He is just a poor man from the countryside. Even Bo, the most humble servant of my Ma family, is three points better than him!"

Ma Wencai: "In terms of power, status, and talent, how can you compare to me, Ma Wencai?"

Chen Rong: "Brother Wencai, calm down. This doesn't mean anything."

Chen Rong: "Brother Wencai, don't be unhappy! You are the number one in my mind! You are the best!" After saying that, she hugged him.

Ma Wencai: "I am just angry. What right did Liang Shanbo have to do that?"

Chen Rong: "Don't be angry, if you do this again I will be angry and ignore you!"

Ma Wencai: "Okay, Rongrong, let's go back."

In the evening, Ma Wen learned from Master Chen that Liang Shanbo was ranked first on the list of good character because of his relationship with the Xie and Wang families. He was silent for a while before speaking.

Ma Wencai: "What is this? Is the ranking of grades really about real talent or just about currying favor with the rich and powerful?"

Chen Rong: "Look at both, but power definitely comes before real talent and knowledge! This is how it is in this era."

Chen Rong: "Brother Wencai, don't think about it, let's do something happy."

In a blink of an eye, a year passed. During this period, Ma Wencai and Chen Rong saved a noble man while traveling.

After Chen Rong and Ma Wencai came back, Ma Wencai was recommended by a nobleman and entered the court to become a general.

Magistrate Ma had already arranged a marriage with Chen's father and mother, and Chen Rong also returned home to get married.

The wedding date arrived as scheduled, and Chen Rong wore a phoenix crown and a red robe. She was not without makeup as usual, but with dark eyebrows, red lips, and rouge on her cheeks, she looked gorgeous, like a fairy from heaven.

Ma Wencai was dressed in a gorgeous red wedding dress with intricate patterns embroidered on it. He wore a jade crown on his head and looked handsome.

On the wedding night, Ma Wencai had people prepare many of Chen Rong's favorite dishes.

After Chen Rong finished eating, Ma Wencai said, "My dear, it's time for us to rest." Then he carried Chen Rong to the bed.

In the dim candlelight, their breathing intertwined, and then a beautiful symphony sounded in the room.

Chen Rong and Ma Wencai were in love after marriage. Ma Wencai indulged Chen Rong in everything and spoiled her. Soon they had a son and the family lived happily together.

Such happy days lasted for a lifetime, and Chen Rong and Ma Wencai's black hair had turned into silver hair.

After dinner that day, while enjoying the cool air in the yard, Ma Wencai suddenly took Chen Rong's hand and said to her.

Ma Wencai: "When the golden phoenix and jade dew meet, they are better than countless other people. Rongrong, I'll go ahead and scout the way for you." He died after saying that.

Chen Rong asked the servants to inform her son, and then she gradually lost her breath.
