Chapter 1150 What happened in the third year of Yanxi’s reign
General Guan's words still make sense. After the child finished feeding, he immediately calmed down, closed his eyes and began to sleep.
The Hua Patriarch carefully put the child on the couch and then began to arrange his clothes.
Unexpectedly, she accidentally saw Feng Duhu staring at this side. She rolled her eyes, put down her hands, raised her chest, and said provocatively:
“Well, I’ve finished feeding, do you want to come over and give it a try?”
The behavior of a woman after giving birth is completely different from before.
Who is Feng Duhu?
Including the one sleeping on the couch, he is already the father of seven children.
With this kind of formation, how could he be frightened?
What’s more, he and Patriarch Hua have known each other for a long time.
But I saw Feng Duhu laughing out loud:
"It's not easy. It's rare to feed a child for once, so why don't you show off?"
The Hua Patriarch has a petite body unique to Nanzhong women, but her body proportions are proud.
It is a pity that Feng Duhu didn't know until she gave birth to a child that she was just a girl and had grown so big in vain.
Don’t look at her clamoring all day long that she wants a daughter and doesn’t want to breastfeed her son.
In fact, she couldn't feed her at all. She couldn't get enough even if she was fed even once a day.
For other children, it is enough to have one wet nurse. For those who are more cautious, there are at most two.
Only this Azhi—whose identity means “unknown”—needs three wet nurses to be on hand at all times.
In other words, the Feng family has a big business and it doesn’t matter how many wet nurses they hire.
If it were any other ordinary family, it would be impossible for the child to be hungry right after birth.
Compared with the false propaganda of Patriarch Hua, General Guan’s products are genuine and honest.
Well, it’s true that a child is innocent.
Feng Duhu has reached the age where he can call himself an old man.
Add in the three children of the two of them, wouldn’t it mean that there are four children and old men?
What does this mean if it's not a childish thing?
General Guan suddenly became a little embarrassed when he noticed that Feng Duhu was secretly looking at him:
“Where are your eyes looking?”
Feng Du’s nursing is straightforward:
“I just want to remind you to teach Patriarch Hua a lesson and teach her some experience.”
“Speaking of which, you are A Zhi’s eldest son. A Zhi is the eldest son of General Zhendong’s mansion..."
Before he finished speaking, General Guan couldn't help but wanted to come over and beat him up.
Feng Duhu saw that the situation was not right and ran away quickly.
Going to sit down in the pavilion in the backyard alone, Feng Duhu thought about the words of Patriarch Hua and was a little puzzled:
There are so many wives, concubines, and children in the house, but they only have one daughter, Miaomiao. This is unnatural!
Is my Y chromosome more energetic than my X chromosome?
When I was puzzled, I saw a woman walking over with a graceful figure:
“What is Alang thinking about?”
Feng Duhu raised his head and glanced at Madam Right, and said casually:
“I miss my daughter.”
The right lady sat down next to him:
“We are both playing in the big yard next door. If we take two more steps, we will see someone. Why sit here and think about it?”
Today is Xiu Mu.
Everyone in the house, from Feng Duhu to Shuangshuang Ah Chong and others, did not have to go on duty or study and practice martial arts, so it was rare for them to relax.
In the past, Feng Duhu could still play with his children.
Now both have grown up and are the eldest sisters in the house.
If Feng Duhu joins in the fun again, he might even be disliked by others.
“I don’t want both of you, but my daughter who has not yet been born...”
Feng Duhu replied to the right lady in a faint tone.
The right lady was stunned: "My unborn daughter..."
Before she finished speaking, she couldn't help but sit up straight:
“Who has it again?”
Mrs. Zuo is definitely not possible.
A few years ago, she was obsessed with military affairs and took the initiative to avoid getting pregnant again.
The nameless one was only born a few months ago, so she probably wouldn’t get pregnant again so soon.
“Is it Amei or Li Mu?”
Feng Duhu glanced at Madam Right, whose aura suddenly became fierce, and said:
“If someone is really pregnant, how can you not know about it?”
Feng Duhu looked up at the sky:
“Don’t you think we have too few daughters in our house?”
Could it be that nature really has the ability to regulate itself?
Now the Feng Mansion is in a situation where yin is strong and yang is declining, so the next generation is going to have yang prosperous and yin is declining to balance it out?
"Oh, that's how it is…"
Mrs. Right has been with Feng Duhu for so many years. When she saw him like this, she knew that he was full and had nothing to do and was thinking wildly, so her tone relaxed.
“When Ah Lang said this, I also think it is true.” Mrs. Right rolled her eyes a few times, “Shuangshuang is the only daughter in our family.”
“She is already eleven years old now. In a few years, she will be in her prime. It’s time to make some good plans for her.”
Feng Duhu withdrew his gaze from the void and looked at Madam Right, his face expressionless:
“Are you planning to propose marriage to your nephew again?”
"My nephew is the prince. How many families in the world want to marry off their daughters? Your daughter will be very valuable!"
The right lady felt angry when she saw Feng Duhu's expression.
Your Majesty and the Queen have expressed their intention to get Prince Liu Chen and Feng Ying engaged more than once.
If it were another minister, he would probably wish to send his daughter to the palace as soon as possible.
It just so happens that Feng Ying’s parents are different from others.
In other words, Mr. Feng Ying is different from others.
The queen of the Han Dynasty could issue edicts to her ministers.
But if you want to get help from the disciples of Shanmen, you have to use humble words and generous gifts.
The first queen of the Han Dynasty, and also the first queen in Chinese history, Lu Pheasant, invited Sihao of Shangshan to come out of the palace in this way.
At that time, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty did not hesitate to condescend to the nobles and personally went to Fengjiazhuangzi to meet the young man, who was only 16 years old.
Empress Zhang wanted the prince to marry a daughter of the Feng family, so she may not have had the intention of consolidating the prince's status.
More importantly, if this matter really comes to pass, as the descendants of the Shanmen disciples, aren't Feng Ling and Feng Yong the prince's younger brothers?
In addition, Feng Kai (aka A Mo) is also a cousin of the prince, can his elbows be turned outward?
The Queen has already inquired about it:
The Feng family's secret knowledge, each of the left and right ladies has a copy, but I heard that the content is different.
Therefore, this matter cannot be forced, and it must show the sincerity of the royal family in seeking marriage.
"You said it yourself, Shuangshuang is the only daughter of the Feng family, so of course she is very valuable."
How could Feng Duhu not understand the queen's thoughts?
He waved his hand:
"I have said that whoever she marries in the future will be left to her own devices. I will not force her. Anyway, she has a group of younger brothers to support her, and she is not afraid of being bullied by others."
"If she really likes the prince when she grows up, then I will definitely be happy to see it happen, but now that she is still young, I don't want to make a decision for her so early."
"Besides, she is Mrs. Zuo's biological daughter. You have to ask her opinion on this kind of matter."
“I’ve never seen Alang like this!”
The right lady half-complained, and then complained again:
"I call Zuo a man." Feng Duhu looked at Mrs. Zuo and suddenly smiled obscenely, "What are you so embarrassed about?"
“At worst, let Ah Chong and Ah Shun marry a princess. I can make the decision on this matter. If that doesn’t work, A Mo can do it too.”
Mrs. Zuo is not here, and Mrs. Right is not polite to Feng Duhu:
“That’s okay, but if the child in the family really wants to marry the princess, it must be Amo.”
Unless the palace is willing to marry two princesses into his own family.
"It doesn't matter." Feng Duhu didn't care about this. "If you really want A Mo to marry a princess, as long as he doesn't marry the little princess born to the queen, that's fine."
When Mrs. Right heard Feng Duhu’s words, her eyes widened immediately:
“Why? Why can’t Amo marry Ajie’s daughter!”
The person she wants her son to marry must be the little princess.
"She is your sister's daughter. The son and daughter of your two sisters are cousins. It is not easy to support the children they gave birth to."
Feng Duhu explained, "I don't want to have to worry about my children and grandchildren when I get old."
“I’ve never heard of this! It’s common for cousins to get married in this world!”
Madam You didn’t believe it at all. She looked at Feng Duhu suspiciously:
“You are not saying this because you want Ah Chong and Ah Shun to marry the princess, right?”
"This is the rule of my sect!" Feng Duhu said angrily, "It has been said in the sect for a long time that the closer the blood relationship is to a couple, the harder it will be for the children born to survive."
“And it’s easy to be born with deficiencies, and there are many people who are crippled and stupid.”
I’m not saying all of them, but the probability is too high.
The Feng family does not need to be like some European families, who do not hesitate to marry close relatives in order to ensure the purity of their bloodline.
In a family where close relatives are married, any child who grows up healthy will have brothers and sisters who are deformed and died young to shoulder the burden for him.
It's just that under the current situation, Feng Duhu definitely couldn't explain it clearly to Madam Right.
“As for Ah Chong and Ah Shun, they really don’t need to compete with Ah Mo.”
Anyway, General Guan has a title of his own, and he will most likely leave it to Ashun in the future.
Her eldest son Ah Chong inherited the title of the Feng family.
These two titles, one was won by General Guan himself, and the other was won by General Guan's participation.
If anyone wants to reach out, they must first ask General Guan for his opinion - unless the royal family wants to kill the Feng family and the Guan family.
As for A Zhi…
The leader of the Hua clan cuckolded General Zhendong and gave birth to someone else’s child.
It is estimated that it will be difficult for this child to inherit the title of General Guan.
General Zhendong is great because of his tolerance for women, but not because of his tolerance.
So Feng Duhu believed that General Guan didn't care at all whether his son could marry the princess.
Madam You quickly figured this out. She pushed Feng Duhu bitterly and said angrily:
“You just have to be partial!”
If it were anyone else, Mrs. Right would definitely not take these words to heart.
But if she were Feng Duhu's disciple, she would not dare to say that this was alarmist.
Just like this, Mrs. Zuo was getting an advantage again, which made her a little unhappy.
"Sister, you have to speak with your conscience. How could I be biased? I am doing this for the sake of my children. Amo is your biological son!"
Feng Duhu shouted loudly:
“From now on, if your or my grandchildren are going to be left with crippled hands, blind eyes, weak limbs, or madness and stupidity, will you pinch them and drown them, or will you just keep them like this for the rest of their lives?”
“It’s not that he is not allowed to marry the princess. There are so many princesses in the palace. Which one do you like? Your Majesty will still disagree?”
"The queen disagrees!" Mrs. Right directly contradicted her, "I finally got the opportunity to talk to you about this matter today."
"You happen to say such things again. How do you want me to reply to the palace?"
“You can choose Ah Chong or Ah Shun, whatever the queen likes.”
Feng Duhu also knew that it was not advisable to delay this matter any longer, otherwise, he would not give the queen face.
The prince had already had the idea of getting married before the prince was born.
Let’s do the math, it’s been ten years now.
“If the prince really wants to marry Shuangshuang, in a few years, as long as Shuangshuang really likes her, I won’t stop him.”
Although Mrs. Right did not achieve her goal, she finally got an accurate word.
Let Ah Chong and Ah Shun go out to top the jar first. This does not mean that they will not get married. The chance of becoming a prince is still very high.
The Queen should be satisfied with this reply.
But the right lady is not satisfied:
“I’m talking about A Mo! What should A Mo do?”
"Aren't there other princesses in the palace? If it doesn't work, there are also the Guan family, the Zhao family and the Ma family. What are you afraid of?"
Feng Duhu was a little impatient.
The spring day is warm, and my heart feels a little hot.
Spring is here again...
As the saying goes, the plan for a year begins in spring.
Feng Duhu finally stood up:
“Elbow, follow me into the house!”
If you still don’t believe it, just do it!
In the past few years, I have been fighting in the north and south, and I have too little time to spend with my wife and concubines.
Take advantage of this time to spend time with them and see if you can turn over the X chromosome.
In the third year of Yanxi, the world was at peace. The three countries each guarded their passes and did not take any major military actions.
Even for the state of Wu, which likes to go north in winter and spring every year, there was no movement in the winter of the second year of Yanxi, and there was also no movement in the spring of the third year of Yanxi.
This made Wang Ling, who succeeded Man Chong as the military governor of Yangzhou, breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhuge Jin’s son Zhuge Ke has been leading troops to garrison at Wankou of Lujiang River in recent years.
This man is young and energetic, with a certain talent but also a lot of talent. He continues to harass people south of Hefei, which is really annoying.
Unexpectedly, since the beginning of spring this year, Wang Ling has been uncharacteristically absent, which surprised Wang Ling.
What he didn’t know was that Zhuge Ke himself was already a little anxious at this time.
There is no other reason.
This year, from Hebei to Jiangdong, and from Guandong to Guanzhong, spring rains are scarce, and the world is already experiencing a severe drought.
Zhuge Ke actually cultivated a lot of fields in the past few years in Wankou.
Not only can it supply its own army, but some of it can even be sent to Jianye.
Although Wankou is close to the river, the water level of the river has dropped sharply, and some of the rivers that used to flow into the river have stopped flowing.
Wankou is close to the Wei border, and with abundant water flow, Zhuge Ke will definitely not waste people's energy on building water conservancy projects there.
Nowadays, there is insufficient water flow in various channels, which greatly affects the spring plowing.
Not to mention sending troops, even if we allocate manpower to carry water to the river to irrigate the fields, that is still insufficient.
The situation in Wankou is just a microcosm of the state of Wu.
This year's spring drought is extremely abnormal. Except for Feng Duhu of the Han Dynasty, who is still in a spring mood, both Wei and Wu are worried about spring plowing under their rule.
Ji Han organized manpower to repair Dujiangyan as early as when Zhuge Liang just took over the mess.
Even unprecedentedly, weir officials were set up to take care of the weirs and embankments.
Later, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty settled in Hanzhong, repaired the mountain and river weirs, and irrigated more than 150,000 acres of farmland to supply the army.
As for Guanzhong, before the emperor of the Han Dynasty moved the capital, Feng Duhu had already started to repair the Zhengguo Canal.
Until now, this project has not stopped.
Professional engineering teams and students are decentralized to counties and townships, coupled with the addition of guidance tools such as mathematics, physics, and geography.
It can be said that Han’s water conservancy projects are the best among the three countries.
Even if it’s Liangzhou, there’s no need to worry too much.
Because Liangzhou relies on melted snow water flowing down from the Qilian Mountains, it is less dependent on rain.
It can be said that the drought that swept the world in the third year of Yanxi promoted the further differentiation of the national power of the Han, Wei and Wu kingdoms.
When a saint governs the world, his pivot is in water.
Those who govern the country well must control the water, and those who serve the country well must control the water first.
These words are the wise words of Chinese farming culture.
