Chapter 888 The Missing Link
General Guan Da has the best physical fitness among several women.
Coupled with the fact that she has production experience herself, it stands to reason that she is much safer than other women.
But these days, the risk of having a child is too great, and Feng Yongyong cannot help but worry.
The last time Guan Ji gave birth, Feng Governor was cleaning up the mess in Longxi and could not stay with her.
This time, she was accompanied throughout the entire process, and even the delivery room was checked several times by Governor Feng before he was reassured.
Guan Ji had signs of labor as soon as she had breakfast in the morning. After being sent to the delivery room, Feng Yong stayed with her outside.
Feng Jishi, who was accompanying the childbirth for the first time, was even more nervous than Guan Ji in the delivery room.
Zhang Xingyi, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but persuade him:
“Brother-in-law, can’t you sit down for a while? You’re walking around like this, it makes me dizzy!”
Then Guan Ji's chuckle came from the delivery room.
Hearing that his mother-in-law was still in the mood to make fun of him, Governor Feng felt more at ease. He smiled at Zhang Xingyi and sat down.
After taking a sip of the tea that Amei had brewed, Governor Feng remembered that Guan Ji had been in there for a long time, so he quickly stood up again and asked:
“Xijun, are you thirsty inside?”
Zhang Xingyi next to him rolled his eyes when he heard this.
This time, not only Guan Ji, but also other people in the delivery room laughed.
“Alang is interested, and I have it here.”
“Oh, oh, right, right.”
Only then did Governor Feng remember that even the ginseng soup had been prepared, so he had to sit down again.
After noon, intermittent moaning began to come from the delivery room.
Mr. Feng was so nervous that he started to stand up again.
“This is just the beginning, don’t worry.”
This was the first time Zhang Xingyi saw Feng Yong like this, which made her feel a little sour, but she comforted him and tried to calm him down.
Feng Yong finally realized that he had become a little overly nervous without even realizing it.
Smiled gratefully at Zhang Xingyi, but how could he feel calm in his heart?
So I simply walked to the window and listened.
Hearing Guan Ji's screams of pain getting louder and louder, Feng Yong's heart also tugged.
General Guan Da, who usually makes men bow their heads, is actually crying out in pain like this. It must be extremely painful.
Feng Yong couldn't bear to listen anymore and felt his heart clenching tightly.
As Guan Ji’s voice gradually became hoarse, Feng Yong finally couldn’t help it anymore:
“Xijun, are you okay?”
Then the female medical worker who delivered the baby came and yelled:
“Your Majesty, please respect yourself and don’t disturb Madam!”
Guan Ji, who was crying out in pain, couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.
This time it was broken, and all the energy I had been holding was suddenly released.
It almost caused the female medical worker to jump:
“Madam, don’t be disturbed by people outside, just keep working hard!”
“Give me some time…”
Guan Ji wanted to cheer up, but for some reason, when she thought of her Alang, she couldn't hold it in. For a moment, she couldn't laugh or cry.
Feng Yong was agitated outside. He was about to speak, but then he remembered that he had just been scolded by a female medical worker as an "idler" and did not dare to speak out again.
Unexpectedly, despite his silence, the people inside refused to let him go. The window opened with a bang, revealing the angry face of the female medical worker:
"My wife's delivery is a matter of human life and heaven. Don't you know this, sir?"
That sentence made no sense, leaving Feng Junhou a little confused.
I know, if I didn’t know, would I still be so anxious?
The female medical worker said again:
“The prince has a high position and has a lot of affairs, so why not deal with the government affairs first?”
What does mean?
Are you planning to drive me away?
Guan Ji's voice inside became louder again, and the female medical worker didn't say anything more. She closed the window again with a "bang" sound.
Feng Junhou did not dare to speak anymore this time. He sat down angrily and continued to listen to the sounds inside.
When it was time to turn on the lamp, a baby's cry suddenly came from inside.
"gave birth!"
Feng Junhou, whose clothes were wet and dry, suddenly stood up and rushed to the door of the delivery room.
After a while, the delivery room opened. The female medical worker walked to the door with the baby in her arms. She congratulated Feng Yong with a smile on her face:
“Congratulations to the king, it’s a great blessing!”
The female medical worker had scolded him during the day, but when he saw the other party's attitude changed 180 degrees, Feng Jishui was unable to adapt to it.
“Huh? Is it a boy or a girl?”
Zhang Xingyi, who was running behind him, kicked Feng Jishi:
“What do you mean by Zhang’s joy? Now it’s good, now we have two young men in the house.”
Governor Feng looked at the little wrinkled face in the arms of the female medical worker with some helplessness.
The child's skin has not yet fully stretched, like a little monkey.
“Xijun, you have given birth to another son!”
Governor Feng did not pick up the child. Instead, he stood on tiptoes and shouted into the room.
Guan Ji’s weak voice came out:
“Congratulations to Alang.”
Feng Jishi replied incoherently: "Same joy!"
Hearing this, everyone laughed.
The delivery room has not been cleaned up yet, so Feng Yong cannot enter.
The female medical worker showed the child to Feng Yong and then took the child back to his mother.
Mother and child are safe, this is a great joy.
Zhang Xingyi, Amei and Li Mu all entered the delivery room to accompany Guan Ji.
Feng Yong turned around and ran outside the yard.
Zhao Guang, who was yawning outside, saw Feng Yong coming out and hurriedly greeted him:
“Brother, how is my sister?”
Feng Yong laughed:
“You have another nephew!”
"Congratulations, brother!" Zhao Guang was really happy and repeatedly handed over his hands, "The Feng Mansion is finally a bit prosperous."
Feng Yong smiled from ear to ear.
Huang Wudie couldn't wait to get past Feng Yong and rushed inside.
"Hey! Be careful, Xijun is weak, don't make her angry!"
Feng Yong subconsciously shouted to Huang Wudie's back.
Zhao Guang watched Huang Wudie walk away and said with some embarrassment:
“Brother, I want to tell you something.”
“What’s the matter?”
Feng Yong was thinking about giving a big reward to everyone in the house. He didn't notice Zhao Guang's squirming look and asked casually.
“Brother, can you also give me a copy of your secret recipe?”
“What’s the secret recipe?”
“The secret recipe for giving birth to a child!”
Zhao Guang said with a look of displeasure, "Over the years, the friendship between the elder brother and the younger brother has become closer than that of real brothers. Wouldn't that be an exaggeration?"
“Brother gave your majesty and Guan and Zhang two secret recipes a few years ago, do you think I don’t know about it?”
Over the years, the Guan and Zhang families have given birth to several children, not to mention their wives and concubines.
Just talking about Your Majesty, there have been many new princes and princesses in the palace in the past few years.
When I was young, I didn’t know the value of my brother’s secret recipe.
Now that we are married, we see that our elder brother has two children first, and then a son soon.
It would be a lie to say that Zhao Guang is not jealous.
“Nanxiang Medical College, as long as there are female medical workers, who doesn’t know my secret recipe?”
Is it difficult to learn basic physiological knowledge?
On the happy day, Governor Feng was too lazy to argue with the stick and replied angrily:
“Ask your younger siblings to chat with the female medical workers, and you’ll know everything!”
“Seriously…”
Then Governor Feng coughed and said, "Of course, there is something else."
Zhao Guangda was delighted: “Brother, teach me!”
Forget it, if you feel happy, let the country bumpkin see the world.
Feng Yong took Zhao Guang, avoided others, opened a warehouse in person, and then mysteriously took out a book from a box.
"I can't teach you this kind of thing. I'll give you a book. How much you can understand depends on your talent."
Dong Xuanzi's thirty-six moves, this is the unique knowledge of the Feng family.
Zhao Guang's breathing quickened when he saw his brother acting so solemnly.
He eagerly took it and opened it to take a look.
Then his pupils suddenly enlarged, and his already rapid breathing began to become heavy.
He turned it over quickly and said in a chuckle:
“There are so many postures. When I got married, the booklet my mother gave me was not as good as this one!”
Governor Feng smiled, and then took out a pamphlet:
“Here, if there is any incompatibility in the sexual relationship, I have a book here to cheer you up.”
“What is this?”
Zhao Guang took it again and saw three words "Mei Ping Sutra" written on it.
“It turned out to be a scripture?”
Zhao Guang said, and then saw the words "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng" at the bottom, he couldn't help but said "Huh", then raised his head and looked at Feng Yong:
“Brother has published a new book? How come I didn’t know about it?”
"How many times have I told you, I am not Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng. Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng is from my school and belongs to the top ten novelists in the world."
"This book was written by him, not by me. I only read it in my teacher's school back then, and now it's just rewritten silently."
Of course, it’s not just dictation.
Each book must be carefully revised, and even things that cannot be explained in this era must be eliminated.
“Go back and take a closer look.”
Seeing that Zhao Guang was eager to read it on the spot, Governor Feng quickly pressed the cover and said, "Remember not to spread it out randomly."
“I understand, I understand, little brother!”
Zhao Guang carefully stuffed the two books into his arms, "When I get back to my brother, I will ask Xijun to ask the medical staff, hehe!"
"It's not just her. After she's finished asking, you have to ask her to talk to you when she comes back. This kind of thing is a matter for two people, not her alone."
“I understand, little brother.”
After a while, a servant came over to spread the news that the delivery room had been cleaned up.
Feng Yong went over to talk to Guan Ji again, and Guan Ji fell asleep with the child.
Compared to the commotion in Pingxiang City when Guan Ji gave birth to her child for the first time, the commotion this time was much smaller.
After all, Governor Feng also had his eldest son.
When Governor Feng gave birth to his second son, news from Guandong finally reached Liangzhou.
“Cao Rui adopted an adopted son in the palace?”
Feng Yong took the information sent by Xizuo and touched his chin, "Who is the biological father?"
In February, the burial of Cao Rui's daughter Cao Shu caused quite a stir.
For this reason, Cao Rui went to Xuchang in April to avoid the danger in Luoyang Palace.
Who would have expected that by May, his last son would still not be able to escape death.
Then Cao Rui adopted an adopted son into the palace as quickly as possible and named him Cao Xun.
This matter made Feng Yong feel weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Knocked on the table, Feng Yong frowned:
"I remember Cao Rui, he is about the same age as me, right? Why are you so anxious to adopt a child?"
It is not a problem to adopt orphans in the palace.
This can be regarded as a trend started by Emperor Xiaowu, and its representative is Yulin Orphan.
Especially in the past few decades, there have been constant wars. Whether it is the Wei State, the Han Dynasty, or Soochow, the masters have adopted sons or nearly adopted sons.
Many of them are orphans of meritorious officials.
For example, Cao Zhen, the former great Sima of Wei State, was the adopted son of Cao Ren's wife.
There is also Qin Lang, Cao Rui's palace playmate and Cao Cao's adopted son.
To be honest, Qin Lang is still Cao Rui's uncle, so the uncle and nephew have a lot of fun...
But that’s not the point.
The point is that Cao Rui actually adopted the child at this sensitive moment. The most important thing is that no one knows who his biological father is.
Feng Yong stood up, took two steps, and tried hard to recall.
In the original history, after Cao Rui, it was indeed not Cao Xun who succeeded Cao Xun, but Cao Fang.
Because during the reign of Cao Fang, there was the Gaoping Ling Incident and Sima Yi usurped power, so Feng Yong remembered it very clearly.
After Cao Fang, there is Cao Mao.
Because Cao Mao has the allusion that "Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone on the road", Feng Yong also remembers it very clearly.
But there is no one named Cao Xun.
Could it be that you are thinking too much?
“Alang also feels a little weird?”
Zhang Xingyi, who was sitting, saw what Feng Yong was frowning and asked in a low voice.
Feng Yong nodded, his brows furrowed deeper:
“I always feel like we’ve missed something.”
Zhang Xingyi nodded:
"It would be okay if he was a hero, but Cao Rui didn't let anyone know the origin of Cao Xun, which is a bit strange."
Feng Yong shook his head:
"It's not just this. There should be another link in this matter that we didn't notice or think about, so we can't handle it properly."
As Feng Yong spoke, he sat down again and knocked on the table gently.
"Yes, it doesn't matter whether Cao Rui adopts Cao Yin before his death or after he has another son."
"But it just happened that he adopted a son right after Cao Yin died, and his surname is still Cao..." Zhang Xingyi murmured, "This is really confusing."
Feng Yong understood what Zhang Xingyi was talking about.
Because this kind of thing has been learned in the Han Dynasty.
The late emperor was still childless when he was over 60 years old, so he adopted his adopted son and changed his surname to Liu.
Even so, it caused tragic events later.
And how old is Cao Ruicai?
It's not that you can't adopt a son, but the practice of "giving the adopted son a surname of Cao despite his unknown origin" does not conform to the practice of adopting the son of a borer in this era.
Unless he knows that he will not be able to give birth to a son in the future.
)
Feng Yong's tapping speed on the table became a little faster.
“I need to know Cao Rui’s physical condition!”
He suddenly looked directly at Zhang Xingyi, "Mobilize all the resources in Guandong to see if we can get some information about Cao Rui's body."
Cao Rui died early, so that some descendants said that if Cao Rui had not died early, there would have been no Wuhu Rebellion in the Central Plains.
Feng Yong disagrees with this assertion.
Even if Cao Rui lived a long life, in the second year after the death of Old Demon Zhuge, he ignored the opposition of all ministers, wasted people and money, carried out large-scale construction projects, and showed himself in a sensual way.
How do you show any desire for reform and advancement?
So in the middle and later stages, at most they were Li Cunxu's generation, who could barely be regarded as half-life heroes.
Expect a greasy middle-aged uncle who only cares about pleasure to stand up, stop the rolling tide of history, and change the general trend of aristocratic families controlling history?
Thinking so much!
Without changing the momentum of the aristocratic family to control the historical trend, even without the Wuhu Rebellion, the fate of the people of the Central Plains as two-legged beasts would not have been significantly changed.
Of course, now is not the time to think about whether Cao Rui can change history, but the historical fact that Cao Rui died early.
“What did Alang think of?”
Zhang Xingyi heard the words and knew the elegant meaning, and suddenly got up.
"I thought of something. Cao Pi has a sweet tooth..." Feng Yong looked at Zhang Xingyi steadily and lowered his voice, "And he died early."
As a brown sugar supplier, Feng Yong certainly has a deep understanding of the demand for desserts in this era.
As a former emperor of Wei State and an emperor who was good at writing articles, Cao Pi was famous for his desire for desserts.
Likes to eat apples and apple wine, and also likes to eat zhidingyu pears. He even wrote a special article about them, praising them for being sweet and thirst-quenching.
Even required that the tribute brought by Sun Quan must contain stone honey.
The so-called stone honey is actually jaggery.
For those who have eaten brown sugar, jaggery, which used to be considered a dessert, has become something bitter, astringent, and full of impurities.
But before Governor Feng made brown sugar, coarse sugar was a tribute.
"This shows what?"
Zhang Xingyi asked slightly impatiently.
“Do you remember that some time ago, someone in Guanzhong suddenly raised the price because they wanted to buy a large amount of brown sugar peach wine and honey wine?”
Feng Yong narrowed his eyes, "I now suspect that this batch of goods is going to be delivered to Cao Rui."
The missing link finally fell into place.
